Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond

- Cleo ~

He is not mine, he is not mine.

I need to repeat it to myself internally as his coconut scent cocoons itself around me,

something invisible to the naked eye...yet I feel it, it can't just be me. I can't be imagining the power he holds over me.

I finally have him alone, I need to tell him...but his closeness is doing something to me...making me lose all inner thought, all inner self control.

"Jace." His voice is a longing moan that vibrates across my lips, my eyes slowly lifting to find his flashing between him and that of his wolf.

Green, dark green, green...

I just wanted to be alone, to regather myself but I spent too long away, he's come looking for me. "Jace, you can go..." I take a step back, my eyes turning when my back hits the cabinets behind me. I had no way of escaping.

His aura starts to mix into the already unbreathable closeness between us, a strength similar to the hotel night when I tried to leave.

"Cleo." My name on his tongue sends a bolt of electricity into my bones, I'm too late to bite down on my tongue to suppress the moan that escapes me.

"Don't!" I shoot my hand out in warning, trying to put some distance between us. He shouldn't even be here, his mate was back at the alpha house, he should be with her.

My hand touches his chest, and I push hard against it, trying to force him away from me. Give me enough room to back him up so that I can leave the cabin as quickly as possible.

But when it lands upon his chest, I remind myself just how muscular he is, how strong he truly

is. Flashbacks of two months ago flitter into my mind, memories that I have tried to prevent from resurfacing since then.

Fingers lace around my hand, before I am pulled closer into him, the air in my lungs being forced out by the swift movement as I bounce off his chest.

A freeing sense of rapture builds within me as he pulls my hand to his lips, my eyes fixed on his every movement as he places the back of my hand to his mouth.

"I need to explain." I can barely hear his voice from the sound of my own heart beating loudly in my ears.

I shake my head as his free hand moves down my hand to my wrist, his touch leaving a tingling sensation dancing upon my skin. The pull to him intensifies, like something so deep-rooted in me that I have no control over it, even if I try.

His sultry eyes watch mine as I try not to react to his touch, try to prove to him that I am above this now...above the silly schoolgirl crush. Soul penetrating eyes that darken before a frown forms upon his face.

"What's this?" He demands out with a low deep voice when his fingers move across the smallnoveldrama

bump of the burn upon my wrist.

"It's nothing...just a small burn."

"A burn?"

"Yes..I.." I gasp out, all speech leaving me as he moves my

across the wound. My own mouth opens as a euphoric moan escapes me, before I can stop myself.

I can only explain it a charged, frenetic energy pulsating between us and I can no longer trust myself around him.

"Jace." I try to pull away again only for my lips to be covered with his, his hands to be on me before I have even finished saying his name.

His tongue forces its way into my mouth, tasting every inch of me, my own tasting him back. I let

all guilty thoughts disappear, for this very moment he was mine, and if this was the last taste of him, the last touch of him...then I was going to do it, I was going to take it.

His hands snake down my body to the hem of my black dress where he pulls it up exposing my black thong to his touch, a growl escaping him as he pulls upon the material that cups between

me.

My own hands move down unzipping his trousers, as an animalistic urge drives me to have him inside of me.

My hands reach for his already hardened length, gripping it tightly with my clasp...a euphoric moan escaping him as he lifts me up and pushes me against the cabinets, spreading my thighs wider to give him even closer access to me.

A hand moves up to cup a breast, the fabric being pulled down by his heavy touch.

He bites down on my lower lip, before pulling away from the kiss just as I place the tip of him into my lower core entrance.

"Jace.." My husky moan is hardly

him like I've never needed anybody before in my life.

His eyes hold mine, passion burning strongly within his that I know for certain that he wants this
