I was feeling, that this was major, the decision I made to be with him and with Xander.

“Only falling?” he joked. “I think I need to try harder then if you’re not in love with me yet, because I’m so far gone, I can’t see myself with anyone else.”

I kissed him again and he pulled out, moving beside me on the bed. We crawled under the sheets and settled in, me draped across his chest. My fingers traced the intricate tattoos that rested under my hand.

“I think I didn’t let myself feel too hard for you until recently. I’m so sorry for putting you through that.”

“It must have been difficult,” he said, no judgement or accusation in his tone. “When I first saw you, all I could think about was finally finding the one vampire fate chose for me. Males always hope that it’ll happen, but very few ever find their mates. I didn’t think you wouldn’t feel the same, that you couldn’t.”

“Do you remember when we talked on the beach? When we first met?”

“Yes.” He picked my hand up and kissed the back of it, much like he did that day. I smiled at the memory.

“I mentioned I had three men vying for my attention. I have three mates, Matias, one for each part of me. I was fully mated with Xander when I found out about Ronan, my caster mate, and I promised Xan I wouldn’t accept Ronan because at the time, I felt more than one mate was too much. The fact Ronan was a complete asshole didn’t endear me toward him either… Anyway, when you showed up, I just couldn’t do that to him, not again. But I didn’t think about how it hurt you and I’m so sorry. I wish I had handled it all differently.”

“You’re here, and you’re mine. That’s what counts. The fact I have to share you is not ideal, but I’ll do whatever I have to do to be with you. That’s what it means to be a bonded mate. You are everything to me.”

“I don’t know what I would do without you in my life. Thank you for sticking around and putting up with all my bullshit.” I let out a deep yawn and Matias chuckled.

“You’re very welcome, now sleep. I’ll be here when you wake.”

He didn’t have to tell me twice as I drifted off to dreamland, held to Earth by the vamp who worked his way into my heart.

Chapter Twenty-Six

The very moment I began to stir from sleep, I was flipped onto my back with a large, horny vampire looming over me.

“Not used to sitting still for very long are you?” I chuckled, still half asleep. There was so much I didn’t know about Matias, but one thing I knew for certain was he was always on the move. His endless supply of energy made him that way.

“No I am not, little one, but that’s not why I’m accosting you right this second. My dick has been very patient with your delicious body rubbing up against him in your sleep, but I can only hold him back for so long.”

I reached between us and wrapped my hand around his already hard shaft and almost gasped in surprise. It was so thick and long, my fingers barely wrapped all the way around it. How did I not feel this when he fucked me the first time? I was sure the previous orgasm and the feeding helped to distract me, but I was in awe I didn’t feel any soreness from it. If anything, the thought of him fucking me with it again made me wet and needy.

I ran my hand up and down the shaft, slightly twisting my wrist with each motion making him even harder, if that were possible. Feeling more and more turned on, my fangs dropped and I decided I needed him right that moment. Without any warning, I flipped us over and impaled my body onto his cock, making us both moan out our immediate pleasure.

Matias’ hands cupped my breasts, squeezing the nipples while I rode him hard until we both screamed out our orgasms. Man, I loved morning quickies.

I leaned over and kissed him before sliding off onto the floor. Padding across the floor on weak legs, I looked over my shoulder and saw him lying there, watching my swaying hips as I walked away. He could have easily caught up to me, but he was more than enjoying the show from his bed. I smirked and walked through the bathroom door, turning on the shower that was so similar to the one in my room. When the water was warm enough, I stepped in and closed the glass door behind me.

Still no Matias in sight, I closed my eyes and turned around, wetting my hair. When I opened them again, he was standing there at the door watching me again. It was so sexy the way he was looking at me, like I was the most beautiful thing on the planet and the fact that his dick was pointing straight up, once again, made me smile. He was incorrigible.

“You coming in or what?” I asked, grabbing the bottle of shampoo from the ledge. I opened the top and raised it to my nose. When I looked back over to Matias, he was opening the door and stepping through, his eyes still fixed on me as if I were his prey.

“You have no idea what you’re getting yourself into, little one,” he taunted before wrapping his arms around me and showed me exactly what I was asking for.

After our shower, Matias and I dressed to go down to breakfast. Deciding to show off a little bit, I called for my backpack using caster magic, which appeared in my hand like it usually did instead of putting on the blood-stained clothes I wore the day before. Those ended up in the trash because there was no
