Chapter 26

RILEY

“Do you think it’s possible for you to fall in love with me?” Her voice was so soft, caressing my senses,
but it took a few seconds before her words sank in

Hunter growled and started pacing around my head. Nadia’s words woke him up from his slumber and
now, he was urging me to confess what we felt for her.I would. But I wanted to hear what she had to
say.

A smile slowly crept into my face as my heart continued to flutter.I had no idea how many times my
heart soared and jumped out of my chest in the last two days that she was here. If this is not love, then
I wondered what I should call these feelings.

Nadia has awoken a part of me that I didn’t know existed.

“Do you love me, Nadia?” My voice came out hoarse, as I stared at her, trying to catch her gaze.

Her eyes widened as her lips parted, something I noticed that she usually did when she was lost for
words. And then she would close her mouth and slam her face into my chest, hiding how her cheeks
reddened in embarrassment.

And she did exactly as I thought.I wrapped my arms around her, holding her close as our breathing
slowed down, our hearts beating in perfect sync.

“Do you love me, Nadia?” I asked again.

I heard her heartbeat starting to race again as her palms on my chest turned cold.I kept my mouth shut.
I would wait for her answer, even if it took a whole day.



“Will you laugh at me if I say yes?” She answered in a very low voice, her tone laced with uncertainty.

I pulled her body away from me, curling a finger under her chin before tilting it up to catch her eyes. My
fucking cheeks were hurting from the smile that seemed to be permanent on my face right now.

“I would never laugh at you, never. But I want to hear it.” I told her, my gaze not leaving hers.

“It’s not fair. Why do I have to…” She scrunched up her nose and I had to cut her off.

“Please…” I begged her, biting my bottom lip.

I know I am the male in the relationship, but my heart couldn’t take another rejection, especially not
from her. I wanted to know if she felt the same way about me.

She closed her eyes, her head still tilted up under my hold, before she whispered the words I’d been
dying to hear.

“I love you, Riley.”

My eyes watered, but I blinked back the tears. I wanted to hear more.

“Open your eyes, baby. And say it one more time. Please…”

She slowly opened her eyes, and I saw what I had been trying to find all my life. Love, passion, and
acceptance, were all swirling in her eyes as she stared back at me.

“I love you, Riley. I really do. And if you’re willing to give me a chance, I will try my hardest to make you
love me and forget Andrea “ She looked like she was about to cry and I wanted nothing but to tell her
she thought wrong.

She had no idea she had my heart from the first time I smelled her. I opened my mouth to talk, but she
just continued talking.



“… I might slip, I might get jealous and walk away from you, but I will never walk out of your life. So if
you’re ready for a lifetime contract, you need to be prepared to see me knocking on your heart every
day because I will do everything to make you love me back”

I blinked back another set of tears that were threatening to fall down before I cupped her face and
crashed my lips against her, kissing her with deep and full passion, pouring everything I felt for her into
a kiss.

How did the Goddess give me such a wonderful female when I am fucked up man? How do I start
explaining what I felt for her?

“Nadia,” I pulled away from her lips and rested my forehead on hers.

“You have no idea how happy I am right now. I am yours. All o f me. I don’t know what this thing is that I
feel for you. I never felt this way with anyone. But ever since I smelled and met you, you’ve been
everything to me.”

I withdrew my forehead from hers and looked at her straight in the eyes, still holding her face in my
hands.

“When I breathe, I smell you. When I eat, I taste you. All my thoughts are about you. And when I fuck
myself, all I want is you. I don’t know if this is love, but I like what I feel for you. It makes me feel alive,
Nadia. And you don’t need to knock or force open my heart, you’re already living there. Just you, you
alone. No Andrea, no other female. Do you understand me?”

She nodded her head, her eyes never leaving mine. Her teeth were biting her bottom lip so tightly that I
felt it would draw blood soon, while her cheek was turning scarlet red as she fought her own tears from
falling.



“You can say, I love you too, Nadia…” She said it in almost a whisper, and if I didn’t see the
seriousness on her face, I would have thought she was teasing me.

I closed my eyes and rested my forehead against her. I could feel her vanilla breath running against my
skin and the sparks dancing around us. They were calming my senses.

“I love you, Nadia. I think I love you a little too much that I am so scared to lose you. So, please don’t
break my heart.”

NADIA.

“I love you, Nadia. I think I love you a little much that I am so scared to lose you. So, please don’t break
my heart.”

Wasn’t this supposed to be a happy moment after we confessed our feelings for each other? Why was
his voice laced with so much pain?

There were things still I didn’t know about my mate, but I would find out. If Andrea broke him, I would
do everything to heal him. And one day, he could tell me he loved me and I would hear the happiness
in his voice.

I tilted my head up so my lips would brush against his.

“I won’t… I will take care of it and guard it with my life.” I mumbled before coiling my arms around his
neck and shifting my position so I could sit on his lap while my mouth sought his, kissing him softly,
sucking and biting his lips.

His hands moved from my cheeks to the nape of my neck and to my ass, pressing my body closer to
his.



And then he pulled away again, much to my dismay.I rolled my eyes at him and crossed my arms
against my chest, faking annoyance.

“Do you want to complete the mating now or can you give me some time to learn things?” His lips
slowly tugged into a sheepish smile.

My cheeks blushed from his question. Now he made it sound like I was too eager to be fucked. Well, I
am.

“Hmmm… the full moon is tomorrow.”

“Then I have half a day to learn things.”

“If I go on heat, then it would be the same as the first time. We’ll just do what our body wants to do.”

“No. If I know more and learn what other things I can do then I can explore and pleasure you, not just
put my dick inside you.”

Oh, Goddess!

“Stop, you’re making me wet.” I giggled and covered my face, which was already too red for sure.

He took my hand and lowered it to his lap, guiding it to touch his bulging erection, covered by his
boxers, making my eyes widen.

“And what do you think you’re doing to me?” He asked in a raspy voice.

“I can suck you” Me and my filthy mouth.

“Fuck, Nadia! Your mouth, I will have an orgasm soon just by listening to you.”

“Fine, my pussy can wait another day,” I tapped his erection gently like I was petting a puppy.



“Nadia!” He groaned with a painful expression on his face.

I laughed heartily before hugging him, my hands flying to his hair, brushing and tugging. I’d never been
this brazen and filthy with my mouth before, but it felt so natural around Riley.
