The Bond

The Start of a Perfect Night

Layla's POV.
Noah crashed his lips on mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck while he continued to hold me in his strong, muscular arms. He was all I wanted at the moment.
   
Noah pulled the zipper of my jacket down, slipping it off. He changed our positions so I was against the door. My legs still wrapped around his waist, he tried to pull my shirt off, but I placed my hand on his. I wondered if he got the message.

Noah's POV.
I'm Noah.

Ever since I found this girl, my life has changed. And that change is still growing each day. It was only the second day that I've been with her; but still, she was the one who my heart beats for.
     
She is the one and only female who will give birth and raise my kids. She might actually do a better job at controlling my wolf; she may even be better at doing it than my own Luna!
   
I can't believe I actually found my mate. It feels nice to have a mate, a female Beta. Now that there's two, work might be a little easier. My life revolves around her. And her only.
     
My heart shattered when she tried to push my hand away from her belly. My wolf cried in pain at her actions. Pulling away, she looked at me with sorry eyes.

"I'm sorry, Noah. But, I am just not ready for for the next phase," she mumbled sadly.
     
Her eyes said everything. If she wasn't ready, then that is fine with me. I won't ever force her to do any action that she doesn't want to do. I won't especially force her to mate with me.

I kissed her softly and said, "I would never force you to do anything, not even mate with me, against your will. I must've gotten carried away. I'm so sorry."

Layla's POV.
His words sounded depressed. I hope that not doing the next phase right now was the right decision, because my heart was aching with pain and regret. He set me down on the ground, kissing me one last time before we headed for our room.
     
When we reached the room, I pulled his large figure close to my small frame, making him tense a great deal. My heart pounded, and my wolf howled as I kissed his lips softly.
     
Noah picked me up, deepening the kiss. He pressed me against our bedroom door, and I pulled his shirt up. He walked us over and laid me down on the bed slowly, slipping his shirt off in the process.
    
Noah crawled on top of me, tracing small kisses up my neck. I kissed his head lovingly, running my fingers through his soft, blonde hair. I loved him, never going to deny it. He looked up at me, childishly grinning at me, making me shiver.

I kissed him lightly, him growling possessively, wanting more love than I could give him. He pulled up, staring into my brown eyes.

"I thought you didn't want to take it to the next step, Layla," he commented, looking pleased as I pulled at his brod shoulders trying to make him continue. I smiled, my cheeks warming up, having me blush at his words.
    
"Don't worry, babe. I can keep our dirty secret," he whispered in my ear. I giggled at him. He kissed my forehead lightly, wrapping his arm around my waist sliding me closer. He snuck his hand under my shirt and pulled it off. Giggling, I kissed him lightly, in return for his possessive growl, and I purred. He chuckled here and there.
