Chase (POV)After Brianna vanished, I got up put on a pair of sweatpants I went out to my den and logged onto skype.I contacted Gabe and Mitch as they had already found their mates.“Chase? Do you know what time it is in Cali?” Mitch was the first to speak.“Yeah, Sorry but the strangest thing happened, and I need to speak about it.”“What happened?” Gabe asked taking a sip of his drink.“Can we have the bond dream without meeting our mates?”“What? I have never heard of it happening before.” Gabe answered, “Why? What happened?”“I had the dream of that red-haired woman I told you about and this time it was different, and she told me her name.” I am still feeling all keyed up over the dream. “And guys? I felt and tasted her I even was driven mad over her scent.”“Impossible. You couldn’t have had the bonding dream.” Mitch spoke, “How could you?”“That is what I am asking you?” I stopped and frowned. “Remember our grandfather from mother’s side?”When both brothers nodded Gabe spoke,
Brianna (POV)“Oh. My. God.” I whispered out loud on the elevator as the door closed. “He is real,” I say as I lean against the wall. I couldn’t help but notice the way it felt when my hand went into his. The electrical current went throughout my body and my panties instantly becomes wet with desire. That has never happened to me before.When my dad asked me if I could do this favor for him, never in my dreams had I ever imagined meeting the one and only man from my dreams. Chase. The man who gave me the best sex of my life. I had always believed I conjured him up. A dream man. Not real. Everything I ever wanted in a man. But I cannot follow through with this chemistry I felt between us. I swore off men and I mean it. “No. More. Men.”After my little pep talk. I take my car and head back to the gallery to focus on work and get my mind off Chase. The tall, handsome, broad-shouldered man, with the brownish-red eyes, which could melt the panties off me, Chase Spencer.Oh, no. There goes
Chase (POV)At home that night I contact my two brothers, Gabe, and Mitch.Before they could say anything, I say, “I met her.”“What?” Gabe asked.“You did?” Asks Mitch.I nod. “She came to my office with extra plans from her father. She was quite surprised I was real.”“Because she only saw you in dreams?” Gabe went on.“Yes. And you were right. Her scent is so much stronger. It was tough for me to not grab her and make her mine right then and there. But it seems I have a problem.”“What problem, brother?” Mitch says frowning.“I don’t think she wants anything to do with me.”“What do you mean?”“She couldn’t get out of my office fast enough. And she wouldn’t even look at me.”“Just give her time. After all, she just discovered her dream man is not a dream. But real.” Mitch says.“And she won’t be able to stay away from you for too long. If you say is true and you had the Bonding Dream. The pull will keep tugging until it becomes so strong, she won’t be able to stay away from you. An
Brianna (POV)I don’t know what possessed me to speak with Chase. Of course, my father would have invited him. After all, he is his architect. And I must say he does look yummy in a tux. When I looked into his eyes, I wanted so badly to kiss him. I am not sure why I feel so drawn to him. I swore off men. I have my sweet cat to keep me company. I couldn’t help but keep glancing at Chase as he spoke to my father and then to another man with blond hair and a strawberry-blond-haired woman.A few times I caught Chase glancing in my direction and smiling. Each time I thought my heart would jump right out of my chest. He is just so damn sexy and handsome. So much more than Benjamin ever was. And so much taller too. The pull towards him is strong, but I cannot allow it. I refuse to get hurt again. Benjamin was the last straw for me. Four years wasted. I’m only going to focus on my job and my cat. I mean just because I have been having the dreams again, does not mean I plan to seduce Mr. Hot a
Chase (POV)As I stepped through the door of my place my mind went to that kiss. I hadn’t planned to kiss her it just happened. And she didn’t stop me. That in itself tells me a lot. She does feel the bond. My only hope is she doesn’t fight it for too long. Or the madness will set in on both of us. I cannot allow that to happen.Thinking of the kiss all the way home I sported a nice hard-as-steel hard-on. I lean against my door and grabbed my cock through my slacks and groaned. What I need is my mate to relieve this, but since she is being a stubborn woman, a shower and my hand will have to do. I walked up the stairs to my bedroom stripping off my clothes I walked into my large walk-in shower and turned it on.With my beautiful mate on my mind, I grab my hard cock and begin imagining Brianna holding it with her soft hand. Then I see her kneeling on her knees and kissed the head and licked off the precum, I groan at the thought. Then she opens her mouth and takes in my tip as I am so l
Brianna (POV)As he kissed me, I could taste myself which made me hotter for him. He did things to me that no one ever has before. He parted my legs with his knee and settled between my thighs. Anticipation grew as I wanted that huge cock inside of me.“Now. I need you inside me now.” I panted as he kissed and nibbled my neck and behind my ear.With a husky voice, he growled, “You got it.”He adjusted his cock at my entrance and slid the head inside splitting me wide. I groaned and moaned at his size. “Am I hurting you?” He asks.“No. More please, more.”He pushes deeper and I gasped at the pain, but it felt so good at the same time. He stopped and looked down at me in question.“Keep going. I’m good. It feels incredible.”He smiles and thrusts in more watching my face to make sure he is not hurting me. All I feel is a delicious pleasure.“You feel so good around my cock.” He groans as he drives deeper into me, making us both moan at the same time.“Oh yes, Chase. Just like that.”He
Chase (POV)My plane lands safely in Chicago and I can’t wait to see my mate again. When I saw her eying the ring, she now wears I knew that was the one for her. I intend for her to keep it as I know one day, she will come to accept me as her mate. That ring is a symbol of the love I have for her. And one day she will know just how much she means to me.I climbed into the taxi and called her from my cell. “Chase??”“Hi beautiful, I am back in town.”“Oh, thank God.” She sounded troubled.“Bri? What is going on? What happened?”“It is Ben. He keeps showing up at the gallery. I think he keeps following me.” She sounded scared. And my Brianna has never shown fear before.“Where are you now?”“I am at my place. I have the door locked. He can’t come in as I had the lock changed after we broke up.”“Good, I am heading there now.” I gave the taxi driver Brianna’s address and gave him a big tip when I exited the car.As have been here many times the door man allowed me in. I went up in the el
Brianna (POV)I went back to finish cooking, as Chase went back to petting Angel. “I am not comfortable with him somewhere out there.” I begin. As I was near the door behind Chase as he confronted Ben, I noticed his bag by the door. He came straight from the airport to make sure I was safe. That touched my heart. “Can you stay here for a few days?” I asked him. For some reason, I feel completely safe with Chase.He looked up at me as if I hadn’t needed to ask. “I was already planning on staying. I don’t trust that guy.”I smiled, “Thank you. I really thought I knew him. But now?” I take a deep breath and released it, “I am finding I never knew him at all.”“You know me.”I smile at him. “That I do.”“I will protect you, Bri. With my life.”That was something I never expected him to say.“Let us hope it will never come to that. I happen to be growing quite fond of you.”He smiled. “I happen to be growing quite fond of you too.”Why of all things, did this conversation make my panties w
‘Epilogue’ Chase A few days later I finally sat down at my computer with my mate on my lap. I thought it was time I finally introduce her to my brothers and their mates. “You actually marked her?” Gabe asked looking a little concerned. “You know why we didn’t plan to mark them.” “I know but she needed healing and it worked. There were no side effects.” I said as my arm tightened around my mate. “What side effects?” She asked panicking. “Nothing, just we didn’t know how the venom will react to humans.” “And you took the chance with me?” Her voice went up an octave. “I had faith and besides as my mate the venom we share, you will now live as long as we do,” I said to reassure her. “What?” Alana gasped. “What do you mean?” Kellie asked. “Way to go Chase.” Said, Mitch. “They need to know. You know it wouldn’t be fair to them as we stay young as they get older. I don’t know about you, but I want my mate around as long as I am around.” “And just how long is that? My love?” Brian
Brianna (POV)After we stripped each other naked. He lifts me and puts me on the bed. “Are you sure, you are well enough for this?” He asked concern in his eyes.“Yes, I am sure. I want you.” I said clinging to his neck and kissing his face.“There is a way I can heal you faster.” He said breathlessly as I continue to torcher him by grabbing his hard cock in my hand.“How?” I said looking at him.He grinned, “I can mark you. My teeth have a venom that can heal you and you as my mate can never become sick or hurt again.”“Really? Have the other mates been marked?”He shakes his head, “I have no idea. Probably not. But I am sure in time my brothers will.”I smile. “Then mark me, my love. Make me forever yours.”He smiles as he kisses me passionately invading my mouth with his tongue and tasting his smokey flavor. He moves to my cheeks, then down the left side of my neck where my shoulder meets, and he kisses on the throbbing pulse there. The spot I assume he will place his mark. He begi
Chase (POV)I drive to the address and see Brianna’s car parked next to an empty warehouse. I can’t help but wonder how Ben got Bri to come here alone. I felt my dragon getting riled up. He wanted to save his mate as much as I do.I park next to Brianna’s car and got out of my SUV. I walk to the open and very empty building. “Hello? Ben?” I say as my voice echoes around the empty place.“Nice of you to come.” His voice echoes back around the building.“Where is she?” I growled. “I know she’s here.”“Of course, she is. But you won’t be around to see her.”At that moment someone snuck up behind me but with superior hearing, I heard him in time to turn around and duck before he could hit me. I grabbed his arm, and he dropped the hammer that he tried to hit me with.As I held the man’s arm I shout, “Is that your plan? To kill me and get me out of the way? Do you think she will want you?” I was angry now and my dragon was close to the surface. “I will warn you; you won’t like what happens
Brianna (POV)I decided to check for messages on my new phone that Chase picked up for me and reactivated my same number. I appreciated that gesture as my other phone was destroyed the other day. I find I had a lot of text messages and as I was going through the messages a new one popped up. It was from an unknown number. I read it and gasped in surprise.Bri, meet me at this address at 10:00 am or you will never see that boyfriend of yours again. I know where he works and I have a guy keeping watch on him. So, NO funny business.B.I know who B is and with all that has happened, I know he meant what he said. I sucked in a shaky breath and texted back.I will be there. Just don’t hurt him.I input the address on my phone GPS and thought to myself, that it was a good thing I had not taken my pain meds. The pain was less today so I was putting it off for when I absolutely needed it. I slowly climbed out of the bed and tested my legs as I stood. So, far, so, good. Just a slight dizziness
Chase (POV)“She knows.”“She what?” Gailan says frowning.“Are you serious?” Mitchell all smiles.“It’s about time.” Says Gabriel after I tell my brothers that my mate knows about us.“I agree with Gabe.” Says Lucas.“We had a long talk and I found out some interesting things about her.” I was in my study on my desktop on skype with my brothers. “One I found out she had of all things as a little girl, a red stuffed dragon that was her favorite toy.”“That is so ironic.” Says Lucas, “It is like somehow she knew about you even before meeting you.”“I know. And she used to play that the dragon was the good guy and a secret prince to save her as the princess in danger. Tell me if that is not a coincidence or what?”“Sounds like you were not the only one with the gift,” Mitchell says with a wink.“So how did she handle the news?” Gabe asked.“Better than I expected. It helped that she believes that earth isn’t the only planet with life on it. It also helped that she was watching a movie a
Brianna (POV)I was sitting up watching something on TV when Chase walked in. He smiled at me when he saw me sitting up.“How are you feeling, babe?” He asked me kissing me on top of my head.“Still sore. But I can at least sit up now without help.”He walked around the bed to the other side sat down and took off his shoes and socks before sitting next to me. “What are you watching?”I looked at the TV, saw a flying dragon, and realized I had no idea. I was only watching just to have something to do. I paused it to check the name. “Dragon heart. It’s on Netflix.” I said out loud and pushed play.“You like dragons?” He asked watching the movie with me.“I have seen this movie years ago.” I begin, Then I laughed at a memory. “I used to pretend I was a princess in a castle and imagined a beautiful red dragon turning into a handsome prince that would rescue me from a bad knight.”He smiled but didn’t laugh. As I watched him, I noticed something strange about his expression. I frowned at h
Chase (POV)I couldn’t tell her that someone broke into her apartment and wracked the place. While I was there gathering her cat and the things it will need. I also packed a couple of suitcases with clothes, makeup, and other toiletries she will need and called a locksmith to come and change out her locks.I plan to call a cleaning service later and have her place cleaned up for her. It didn’t seem like anything was stolen just destroyed. I feel as if it was another warning to me. When she is more healed, I will speak to her and insist she stay with me until I take care of Benjamin Walker. With her here, I can protect her. Keep her safe. My security is one of the best there is.I will need to program the place with Brianna’s DNA, so she has access to get into the place. No one is going to harm my mate. Not while I am alive.“So, this little device pokes my finger and adds my DNA to your security system?” My mate asks me later that evening.“Yeah, I and my brother Gailan designed the s
Brianna (POV)He loves me. And all my fears are no longer there. This feels right. He feels right. Chase is my soulmate. I felt it for a very long time, but it took me all this time to admit I love him. I took a deep breath smiling when that breath hurt, and I groaned in pain. Laying here the shot the doctor gave me still had me feeling drowsy and I closed my eyes sighing softly with a smile on my lips.There’s a heavy something across my stomach as I wake up. I turn my head to see Chase lying next to me smiling. I smile back as I say, “Hi.”“Hi.” He responds. He lifts his hand from across my stomach and strokes a finger down my face. “Are you hungry? I ordered soup for you.”“Mm, what kind?”“Potato with bacon pieces and cheddar cheese. With dinner rolls.”“You know how to spoil a girl.” I broaden my smile.“Only my girl, darling. Only my girl.” He picks up my hand and kisses it.“Yeah, I am pretty hungry. I forgot to eat lunch today.”He kissed my forehead and said as he walked towa
Chase (POV)I was awake when Brianna leaned over me and whispered, “I do love you.” Then lightly kissed me before settling to sleep.I have been on cloud nine ever since. I will do all I can to ensure her happiness. And I promised myself I would show her in all I do how much I love her. As my mate, I am hers for life. I just have to figure a way to get Ben to stop harassing my mate.Then I have to come clean about what I am and what she is to me. I just hope she loves me enough to accept me.After breakfast, I took her to where her car was towed to and saw that it looked like new again. The detailers did a wonderful job cleaning off all the paint. Brianna was very pleased with the work.After paying the cost of the bill. She was about to get into her car as I walked behind her. She turned and smiled at me.“Are you sure you should be going to work today?” I asked.“I can’t let him scare me. I need to feel normal. And besides…” She kisses me. “I have you to call on for protection.”“I
