Chapter 37

***Warning Mature Content***

My heart sunk as I realized why he was so overprotective of me. His brother is the only one he has ever had on his side. Now that Creed has found his mate, he’s holding on with everything he has.

There’s a different look in his eyes tonight. It’s almost like his walls are crumbling down. I don’t know if it’s because he thought he was losing me or not, but I’m not complaining. I need him to let me in. I want to know everything that he has been through.

“You’re not losing me, Creed. It’s just the opposite. I feel closer to you than anyone else. I don’t know if I can explain it. The mate bond is pulling me toward Dawson and Rowen, but it feels different.”

I hesitated for a minute as Creed brushed my hair away from my face.

“With Dawson, I’m attracted to him, and my body wants him, but when we’re together it feels more like a friendship bond.”

Creed smirked a little and gave me a quick kiss.

“And Rowen, well, I don’t even know what I feel for him. I’m attracted to him, but I have my guard up whenever I’m near him. I don’t trust him, but yet, I don’t want him hurt. Something is telling me that he’s a big part of the mysteries around my mark, and I need him somehow.”

Creed nodded, “and what do you feel for me?”

I hesitated for a moment. I’m not sure if I should say it yet.

He stared at me intensely as I licked my lips, and he waited for a response.

“I feel safe with you, and you drive me crazy.”

I smiled, “I think about you all the time.”

“Keep going,” Creed said as he started kissing my neck.

“When I’m away from you, all I want to do is get back in your arms.”

“I’m listening,” he lifted my shirt and started kissing around my stomach.

I kept looking at the ceiling. I tried keeping control, but I know he can smell my arousal.

“I want to protect you the same way you protect me.”

He slowly dragged his tongue across my lower stomach, right above the top of my pants.

I felt Creed smirk against my stomach as I arched my back and ran my hand over the top of his head.

“Keep going. I want to hear what you really think of me.” He started unbuttoning my pants, and I lifted my bottom, so he could pull them off.

He took a minute to trail his eyes up and down my body before removing my shirt and bra.

Creed smiled, “you’re not off the hook yet. Keep going.” He started kissing around my neck and chest again.

“I love the way you claim my body, and the way you make me feel. You make me feel special, and you set my body on fire.”

He started palming my mounds, “you are special, I want you to feel like that every day. You're beautiful, and you have a heart of gold. You try to help everyone, even when they don’t deserve your help or attention.”

I let out a small moan as Creed started circling my nipple with his tongue. “Your pretty special yourself. I love how confident you always are.”

Creed lifted his head and captured my lips with his. I let his tongue slip into my mouth, and he pressed his body up against mine.

He needs me just as much as I need him.

He broke our kiss and adjusted himself, so he was completely on top of me. He pressed his body up against mine and I could feel every inch of his hard shaft. He rested his forehead against mine. “Do you know what I love?”

He sat up a little, so he was looking into my eyes.

“What?”

“You, Arabella. I love you.”

He didn’t give me a chance to respond. He started kissing me with a fierce passion. I can feel sparks on every inch of my body as he presses up against me. The only thing between us is his shorts.

My hands started sliding down his sides. I pushed his shorts down some as I moved one hand to his shaft. I couldn’t stop myself. I have to feel him.

He let out a small moan as he started lightly thrusting his hips.

“Get these things off. I can’t take this anymore.”

Creed’s body went completely stiff, “are you sure Bella? We can’t take it back. You will be mine forever. I need you to be positive this is what you want.”

“I’m sure, I’m sure. I love you, Creed. I want you. I need you. I want all of you.”

Creed jumped up and quickly dropped his shorts, “fuck it all. She’s mine.”

I heard him mumble, before climbing back onto the bed and positioning himself between my legs.

He took a minute to work my clit with his magical finger, before inserting two fingers inside me. He started moving them in and out like he was on a mission.

“Fuck, your dripping wet for me.”

“Um huh,” is all I can get out through my heavy breathing. I need him inside me now.

He removed his fingers and positioned his rock-hard shaft at my entrance. I don’t know who is shaking more, me or him.

“Last chance, Bella. Open your eyes and look at me.”

I opened my eyes and his piercing green eyes were staring right through me.

“Now Creed. I’m sure. I love you.”

“Arabella Volino, I love you and will take care of you until my last breath.”

He started slowly pushing into me and I could feel my entrance expanding. Begging him to enter. Once the tip entered me, I let out a moan and arched my hips up to give him more access.

We stared into each other’s eyes as he pushed in further. I bit my lower lip and arched my head back as I let my body adjust to his enormous size.

“Breath through it baby. Let me know when you’re ready.”

I nodded, “I’m ready.”

He started moving slowly in and out of me and I could feel the sparks on my skin, and my fire dancing through my veins. It’s like electricity running through my body.

Creed started picking up speed, and he began slamming into me. I can feel his balls hitting my bottom.

“You’re so damn tight,” he said between breaths.

I started moving my hips to meet his. I could feel the pressure ready to explode. My eyes started to roll back, and within minutes I lost it. I came harder than I ever thought was possible. With a couple more thrusts, Creed exploded inside me.

I felt his body convulse as he emptied every bit of his seed into me. He covered me with his body and wrapped his arms around me as we came down from our high. He held me tight until both our bodies stopped shaking.

He pulled out of me, and rolled over to his side, but still didn’t let me go. He gave me a quick kiss and moved my hair back.

“How do you feel? Are you OK?”

I stared into his eyes. “I’m more than OK. I feel incredible. You're incredible.”

Creed laughed, “We’re both in a world of shit, but I don’t regret it for a minute. I love you, firecracker. Your mine. Your finally mine forever.”
