Chapter b400 /b

    “I don’t want to survive anymore, Kasmine,” 1 murmured. “I want to live. With you.”

    Tears welled in her eyes, but she smiled. God, that smile. That brave, broken, beautiful smile.

    “then kiss me like you mean it,” she whispered.

    “Fuck, baby. Come here. I didn’t ask twice. My trembling hand gripped her waist, and I pulled her to me like I’d die if I didn’t. I imed her lips again, a little too desperately.

    Her lips parted with mine, and I felt her sigh into me, like her soul was copsing into my hands. I gently tightened my grip at the back of her neck, tilting her head just enough to im more of her.

    She tasted like salt and warmth.

    “God… Kester,” she panted against my lips, before biting down on my lower lip, just a little, and I fucking lost it.

    I mmed back into her mouth, shoving my greedy tongue deep.

    A low grow! tore from my throat when she dropped her hand right on my already hard cock, and I swear to hell I nearly lost it.

    “Shit, babe. That’s enough…” I gritted, dragging my mouth off hers like it took every ounce of strength I had left, though my lips still lingered too damn close to hers. “I swear to fuck, if you keep going, I’ll throw every damn n we made today out the window… and fuck you senseless on this goddamn floor.”

    Her fingers trailed off me slowly, as if daring me to lose it. Then she smiled.

    That smilei. /i

    That mischievous, knowing smile that always had me by the balls.

    “I’m already losing my fuckingposure,” I grunted. “Thinking with my cock instead of my brain. And trust me–he has no patience.”

    We both burst intoughter.

    She leaned back just a little, brushing her thumb across my lower lip.

    “You’ve got lipstick all over you, Kes,” she pointed out, and I smiled.

    I nced at the mess she left on me – red stains across my mouth and jaw, a smudge on my throat already knows I’ve got a woman in my life, don’t they?”

    and smirked. “Let them see it. The whole world

    I stood, adjusting myself while she reached for her heels. “They don’t really think we kneel in our room, praying to a dozen gods and having quiet fellowship every minute. Ever heard of the word intimacy?” I lifted an eyebrow as I offered her my hand.

    Sheughed and took it, rising to her feet.

    God, she looked like fucking royalty in that ck gown.

    It was simple but elegant. Matches the asion perfectly. And not a single detail made it ufortable for the babies growing inside her.

    “You look fucking divine.” My voice came out hoarse as my eyes roamed her hungrily. “Like something a man would kill for.”

    Thank you,” she whispered, her voice suddenly bing softer.

    I could tell she also felt it, too… The beginning of something massive.

    I grabbed the wipes off the table and ran one across my mouth, watching her in the mirror as she adjusted her hair.

    “Everyone’s waiting,” I said, clearing my throat. “Ready to be crowned myina?”

    She turned to me then, a full smile breaking out across her face.

    “Yes, Alpha,” she teased, and fuck me, 1 sweat to hell, my cock jerked again just hearing her say that with so much pride.

    I groaned under my breath. “Fuck, woman. Don’t say it like that unless you’re ready to be pinned against a wall.”

    She giggled, but her fingers slipped into mine, holding me in a way no one else ever had.

    I stared at her for a moment longer. Today meant the world to me. This was me finally giving her the ce I always desired her to be, and a ce she actually deserved to be publicly, powerfully, and permanently.

    –

    “Then let’s go,” I said, pulling her in onest time to kiss her forehead. “Let’s go make you mine. Officially. Permanently. In front of the whole goddamn world.
