Kendrix
I had a lot going on with me but on top of everything was the guilt that I felt; I was already feeling guilt for what I did with Veronica in Dilgem, even though it was just a kiss, it was something that shouldn't have happened and all through the plane ride back to O-when, I kept wishing that it didn't happen, arriving in O-when made it all worse because Ariel had been so happy to see me, she welcomed me with open hands and even told me that she wasn't mad that I didn't keep up with her while I was away, I really do not deserve her but she was with me and it was clear by the way she was so happy to see me that she had feelings for me. I noticed before but now, it was so obvious and another thing was my wolf hasn't shut up since we got back.
"Mate,"
He muttered the one word that he had been using since we got to Arielyn even though I had told him multiple times that she wasn't our mate, I cared about her but I would know, right? If I got a new mate, I would feel the connection and even if I didn't, she would have felt something and told me about it.
"She is ours, you are blind,"
My wolf cheered and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. The new couple was having their first dance and Arielyn watching on the sideline. After their dance, she would finally be free and I could go to her. Maybe I was blind, maybe she might not be that kind of mate but she was the one that I chose for myself, that made her my mate.
"Yeah,"
I muttered for the first time, agreeing to it. She was my mate because I chose her. I smiled and my wolf cheered as our eyes followed her around the room. I could only see her in a room full of other people.
"Yes! Mate,"
My wolf cheered happily when Arielyn walked towards us, my heartbeat increased in an abnormal way and I almost lost my balance. She was beautiful but it wasn't her beauty that called for me, it was her, she called to me and when our eyes met, it was as if our souls connected, she felt it too because I heard her gasp. I didn't know what was happening, all I know is that I became more aware of her and when she got closer, I opened my arms and she came in without hesitating. I wrapped her in my arms, breathing the sweet smell of her.
"I finally have you to myself,"
I said and smiled at her when we broke the hug.
"Yeah, you have me all to yourself, the bride said you were glaring daggers at her for keeping me away from you,"
She said and even though I was innocent, I couldn't deny it because the one time my eyes did meet the bride's mine were pretty intense so maybe she read it wrongly, I didn't mind as long as it brought my woman to me, I missed her so much and only realized how much after I saw her again after a week away.
"Let's dance?"
I asked when they called for everyone to join on the dance floor and slow music started playing.
"You are so pretty, am allowed to say you are more prettier than the bride?"
I asked as we danced slowly, she smiled before slapping me on my shoulder with a scolding look.
"Hey, that's my best friend and she has to be the prettiest, it is her wedding party,"
She scolded and I smiled. She was so beautiful and all mine. I can't believe I almost ruined it because I met someone from my past. Should never have thought about her. This was the one. My chosen one.
"I am sorry, but I have to be a sinner right now because you are the most beautiful to me, baby,"
I stood my ground and she laughed.
"I will not let Rose find out because I will be a sinner too. You are the hottest man here and I am so lucky that you belong to me,"
She said and I felt so pleased that she claimed me as hers. Yes, I belong to her and no one else, she was my present and I wanted her to be my future too. We danced and had fun throughout the party, we could finally leave after the bride and groom left. Once we got in the car, I held her hand while I drove to our home. I couldn't wait to get home so that I could show her how much I missed her. While we danced together, it had taken everything in me not to kiss her on the dance floor. I couldn't do that and still the spotlight from the couple so I held it in. As soon as I drove into my compound, I didn't bother to take my car to the parking lot, just left it in the open space and helped her out of the car. I was in a hurry as I wanted to have her already. She must have known what I was on to because she followed me without complaining.
Once we got into my room, I backed her against the wall and claimed her lips in an intense kiss that went on for a while.
"I missed you so much baby, all day, I wanted to steal you from the wedding and have you all to myself but I know just how important the bride is to you, so I had to hold it in,"
I said when I broke the kiss to help her with her dress, she giggled as she moved out of the dress and she stood in front of me in just her panties as she hadn't been wearing a bra.
"God, I missed this,"
I muttered and kissed her again, lifting her and carrying her over to the bed.
"I should probably shower first,"
She mouthed and tried to get up, as if I would let her.
"No, you don't ma'am, you stay right there,"
I warned and hurriedly took off my clothes before getting on the bed with her. We did get that shower but we didn't just shower there. We made love in the shower and came back to the bedroom just to do it all over again. I couldn't get enough of her and she couldn't get enough of me either and I loved every moment with her.
