Chapter twenty one - Will you do me the honor?

[AZRAEL]

I opened my eyes and yawned sheepishly; my body felt stiff, so the idea of stretching sounded more than reasonable. That is until I noticed someone tiny sleeping on my right arm. I was about to yell in anger, as my first thought was that it's Sam, she used to sneak into my bedroom sometimes.

"Before you act like a damn idiot, look closer," my wolf spoke right before I was about to yell some pretty awful things out loud.

I sighed and removed my blanket from the tiny figure. It was my mate. My heart rate instantly fastened; she was in my bed. So yesterday wasn't a dream. It seems like she was freezing without a blanket because her perfect little body leaned closer to mine. I don't want to leave bed anymore. I want to stay here forever, to hold her in my arms and keep her away from everyone. She's mine - Only mine. Her beautiful scent filled my nostrils and Hell; it was so hard for me to keep myself in hands. All I could think of was taking her right here, right now. My instincts are screaming for me to hold her, to mate her, make her ours forever.

I leaned closer to her neck and placed a few gentle kisses on her skin.

"Good morning, my Queen," I whispered in her ear before wrapping my arms around her tiny waist.

"Five more minutes," she mumbled.

Bright smile instantly appeared on my lips; she's so adorable. I brushed my lips against her skin, and an extremely quiet moan escaped her lips. I immediately got on top of her, holding my body above hers and breathing heavily. How the Hell such a small thing as barely audible moan can turn me on this badly?

"Alpha Valentino?" she spoke, seemingly shocked by my actions.

"It's Azrael for you, little mate. If you don't want me to take you right here, right now, please don't moan like that, I'm trying to keep my hands away from you. I don't want to do anything against your liking, but I can't hold myself away if you're teasing me like that," I was still breathing heavily, it was tough for me to hold my wolf down. She bit her lip and whispered, "I'll try."

Well, major boner alert.

"May I please kiss you? Just a kiss to calm down, I promise," I asked her while looking at her lush lips. A shy smile appeared on them; her cheeks turned perfectly peach pink as she calmly nods her head in approval. I can't even find the words to describe how much this means, how happy she made me feel by this one tiny nod of her head. I leaned down to her lips and kissed her as gently as I could. Our lips soon locked together, moving in perfect sync, she didn't need time to think, she just instantly answered my kiss. We kissed for what seemed a whole lifetime, yet I wouldn't change a thing, I'd give my life for one more kiss like this, I can't get enough of this woman.

She playfully bit my lip, and a loud growl escaped my lips, I instantly broke our kiss and rushed into the bathroom, slamming doors shut behind me. I need a damn shower. Ice cold.

I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my hips. Damn, I need clothes. Should I wait for Ren to leave the room? Or should I act as nothing has happened? Wait, why am I even asking this to myself? We are mates for fuck sake; she will see me naked sooner or later anyway.

"Hopefully sooner," my wolf added.

I ignored him and opened the bathroom door to see my mate still sitting in my bed, eyes full of tears. I rushed to her and wrapped my arms around her.

"My love, what's wrong?" I asked.

"I don't know. Did I do something wrong? I didn't mean for you to get angry at me," she whispered.

I let go of her body and cupped her cheeks in my palms.

"You could never do anything wrong; I doubt that you could ever anger me, little one," I said and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"But you left and slammed the door, I did do something wrong. I'm sorry, I had never kissed anyone but you, well, you kissed me, I don't know. I must be bad at it," Ren mumbled nervously.

What have I done to deserve someone as perfect as her? She was genuinely worried about me not liking the kiss — little fool.

I laughed. Wait, I genuinely laughed. Wow.

"No, it's not that. I had to take a cold shower, that little bite of yours did affect me more than you could imagine. You may repeat that; I don't mind. That is, if you want me to mate you," I stood up and headed to my closet.

"So you left because .." her eyes widened in shock. Smart girl.

"Because you don't want me to fuck you. At least for now." I said and reached for my clothes.

She kept quiet for a while, yet I could feel her staring.

"Enjoying the view?" I teased her a bit. When I turned around to see her, she was hiding under my blanket. Cute.

I grabbed a tiny satin box from my closet and sat down next to my mate. She finally got out of her cover.

"Blushing suits you," I whispered in her ear. Just before she was about to hide again, I grabbed the blanket and threw it away.

I handed her the little box and smiled.

"Would you do me the honour.." I tried to speak, but she instantly cut me off.

"No, it's too soon, I don't know you good enough, this is too soon!"

"You silly girl, open that box and let me speak. Would you do me the honor and go on a date with me?" I finally managed to ask her.

She nodded her head in agreement and smiled brightly. This woman could kill me with her smile alone. Her eyes wandered to the little box in her hands until she finally decided to open it.

"Happy birthday, my Queen."

She threw her hands around my neck and hugged me. I must tell you; this is the most excellent feeling ever!

"Thank you, Azrael! Thank you so much," she whispered.

Alright, now THIS is the fucking greatest thing ever. Ren finally said my name, and it sounded like a fucking symphony of love in my ears.

She's so perfect..
