Torn Between Enemy Alphas

Chapter 14- Mark Me

"But you don't think that it will really happen. Right?"

It was hard for the Alpha that Fin was, to hear the fear in his mate's voice when she asked the question. He gathered her in his arms again and wished that he didn't have to leave so soon. The alarm would be going off any moment now and he felt like putting his fist through one of the cabin walls.

"No. No, of course not. You aren't pregnant. And we are mates. The Council is reasonable. They're going to see those two facts and they won't separate us." He felt her nod against his chest, but he also was certain he felt her tears as well.

"Shh, shh, shh. Sweetheart. I won't let anything bad happen to us. We just have to get through today. And by tonight I'll have you in my own bed, in my arms, under me, making you come over and over and over again."

Alice managed to laugh at that, which made him smile.

Then came another sound, the one they had both been dreading. He felt her hand curl in place on his chest when the alarm sounded, her face pressing against his skin as if she could prevent what had to happen next.

But instead of slipping away from her, he surprised himself by saying out loud the words that had been going through his head for the past fifteen minutes.

"Allie." She smiled at this. When his sister had called her Allie it had annoyed her. When he came up with the nickname himself she loved it. "You mentioned it earlier but I do like the idea. What if you do mark me? Right now."

"So you really don't think we'd get in trouble with the Council?" She spoke in a whisper as her fingers crept up into his hair, but he could tell by the way she pressed even closer to him that she liked the idea.

"We might. But not the sort of trouble we'd get in if I marked you right now. That would be real trouble. They might not like it if you mark me, but what could they do? Nothing that will be worse than separating us." He saw the worried look intensify in her eyes but continued speaking anyway. "Not that I think that's what's going to happen."

"Okay."

Fin threw his head back and laughed at her answer. It felt so simple and pure in the moment. "Okay?" She nodded at him and then leaned forward, pressing her lips to his.

It took all of five seconds for her to slide on top of him, and less than ten seconds for him to realize how hard it was going to be not to have sex with her before he left the cabin. It didn't help that they both wanted it, and their wolves both wanted it even more, so everyone was on board with the plan, except the Council and her ex who was doing his best to fuck up everything.

Fin did his best to focus on the moment and on the feel of her lips, which began on his and then slowly traveled across the edge of his jaw and down his neck. 

These were not the light, teasing kisses she'd given him earlier. These were deeper, more passionate, and as she kissed her way to the spot she would mark, his hands explored the parts of her that he could reach, still every bit as amazed as he had been before as he took in the absolute perfection of this woman who was straddling him.

Tilting back his chin he gave her access to that vulnerable spot that he knew she was looking for, noticing the way that her ass had brushed against his nearly unbearable hard on at least a half dozen times in the last minute. He wondered if she was purposefully teasing him now, or if she even realized what she was doing.

"Ready?" He'd felt her lips and tongue brush across the spot for at least thirty seconds before he heard her voice, deepened with desire, and felt her teeth gently graze the spot as though she were practicing ahead of actually marking him.
