Chapter 47

Shawna POV

I woke up in the morning, and his side of the bed was empty. I tried to close my legs. I gasped in pain. But it wasn't a bad pain. It was a pain that was uncomfortable but not agonizing. I got up and took a shower. I heard the bedroom door open and close. I knew it was Bill. He went into the bathroom.

" I got you coffee."

"Thank you, babe."

He got undressed. I instinctively covered myself. He walked up to me and gently moved my hands.

"Baby, you are beautiful."

He then pulled me close. The skin-to-skin contact felt amazing. Electricity ran through my body. I leaned my head against his chest and listened to his heartbeat. I knew that we were all held up here because we were essentially hiding from my grandfather. He was tracking me.

" Baby, there is something I need to tell you."

I stiffened up when he said it, thinking that now, since he took my virginity, he was going to break up with me. I was confused about what he said.

" Shawna, quit thinking I'm going to break up with you."

Wait, how did he know I was thinking that? It doesn't matter. All that matters is he is here. He turns me around so I'm facing him.

" Shawna, something I should have done last night but got caught up in the moment was mark you."

What did he mean by mark me? What is he talking about?

" Like a tattoo."

" No, sweetheart."

He pointed to the place between my neck and shoulder.

" I bite you hard here, and it leaves a scar. It lets people know that you belong to someone."

"Also, when I mark you, it will make you crave me."

I started shaking. I was not expecting him to say that. I thought he was talking about a tattoo or something. But biting me hard enough to leave a scar was a terrifying thought.

" Will it hurt?"

" Yes, for a moment, and if I do it right, it won't hurt at all."

He started to kiss me and ran his hands up and down my back. He then turned me around, so my back was against his chest. He continued to kiss my neck, licking where he was going to mark me. While he was kissing my neck and licking it, he was rubbing my clit that was still sensitive from last night. My legs almost collapsed. He held me tight against him. That's when I felt his teeth pierce my skin. I gasp at the pain that is mixed with pleasure. I was about to come again. Just as he bit down hard enough to fully leave a scar.

I felt the orgasm through my whole body. I could also feel that blood running down my shoulder. He then licked it, and it quit bleeding. He washed it off.

" There, that is done."

I was a little lightheaded. He continued to hold me. I did not know if I was lightheaded from him marking me or if it was from the orgasm. He did not sound like he wanted to mark me. He pulled me closer to him. If he pulled me any closer, he would fall over. He held me close to him.

" Shawna, I wanted to mark you, but I did not want it to hurt."

" Oh."

" Baby, I have some things to do, but I will be back later."

He kissed me on the lips. He helped me out of the shower and carried me to bed. He continued to kiss me. I knew he did not want to leave me. I did not want him to leave, but I knew he had things to do. I plan on training with Amber. I needed to stretch and move my body. I was used to jogging every day. I have not jogged in over a week. I did not know how well I would do it because I was sore. I reached in between us to grab his cock. He stopped me.'

" Baby, as much as I want to be inside you."

" You need to take today and let yourself heal."

I wanted to make love to him again. But he did have a point that I was still sore. He got up and left the bed, adjusted himself.

" I love you, baby girl."

" I love you too."

He then kissed me. He walked out the door. I lay on the bed for a few more minutes, trying to grasp what just happened. I reached up and touched the mark. To my surprise, it did not hurt. I was shocked that it did not hurt. It hurt for a brief moment before sending waves of pleasure through me. I was expecting it to hurt worse than it did. I looked in the mirror, and the mark was clearly visible. I got dressed in some workout clothes. On the nightstand was a credit card and a note.

Baby girl,

Take this card and buy what you need in town.

Love Bill

That was sweet. I did need a few things. I needed some of the hygiene products that I like. But that could wait until later. Right now I want to go jogging. I walked out of the bedroom, and Amber had another cup of coffee waiting for me. She smiled as I walked towards her.

" Hey, Shawna."

" Hey."

She looked at where he marked me.

"I'm glad you two are mated for life."

I was too. I wanted to be with him forever. I showed Amber the note and the card.

" Do you need anything from town?"

" Yes, but right now I want to go for a run."

"OK, wait here; I will go with you."

She left the room. I finished my cup of coffee and grabbed two bottles of water. She returned wearing a red sports bra and red running pants. I was not brave enough to show my stomach. Maybe one day.

"I'll show you where we like to run."

We walked to a row of trees, and I could see people running up and down the row. It wasn't a road or a track; however, it would work to go running. We stretched and started with a slow run to warm up.
