Chapter Forty-four

Sophie.

I felt a hard surface pressed closely behind me, as my eyes instantly fluttered opened, the bright light, shining through the half opened grey cottons greeting me. I blinked, where was I, and before I could ponder further the heavenly scent of earth after rain invaded my nostrils. I had fall asleep waiting for him,I thought he would never show up, but you couldn't blame me I'm used to Reece dissapointing me.

I craned my face to the side, to find Reece still sleeping so Peaceful. He looked just like a little boy, without even any care in the world. I must admit the reason I had decided to sleep in Reece bed with him, was because I was scared, but the warmth of his body against mine felt oddly comfortable, like that was the way it was meant to be,Reece sleeping beside me. I couldn't remember the last time I slept so peacefully, I found my self thinking of lying to Reece that I was still scared even though I felt much better today,just so I could relive this moment every single night.

"You know is creepy to starre at people in their sleep". Reece murmured, as I chuckled

"Is good to see your awake. We should go check up on Louis to see how his fairing now".

"Ryker has already done that". He grumbled, releasing his hands from my waist. I want to complain at the sudden lost of contact, but he trails his long fingers along my face and I don't.

"Ryker seems very diligent when it comes to Carey out his duties". I remark, starring at his plump lips, I can't even remember the last time we kissed.

"Why did you think I choosed him as beta". He murmured huskily, as his fingers trailed my neck, the spot where his mark is supposed to be, and without thinking I blurt out.

"When do you plan on marking me?".

He starres at me like he wants to eat me, only that I'm not a snack, but maybe that's the exact reason he wants to eat me.

"Since the first day I set my eyes on you I've always wanted to do that". He murmurmed as my mind reeled; Reece had always made mention of how Darren introduced him to his daughter previously before our mating Ceremony, but he couldn't make out her features since it was dark.

His sentence could only mean two things either he felt an instant attraction to Evelyn the first day they met and wanted marking her. Or either he meant the first day he saw me which was after our mating ceremony, which wasn't actually the first day we met, as it was during the mating ball where I had sneaked up on him and kissed him senseless, but that obviously couldn't have been the night he meant, since he was so adamant on prosecuting me that night, so I settled for the aforesaid, which was the night of our mating ceremony.

"So why didn't you mark me then". I murmured, causing him to furrow his brows.

"You hated me". He stated

"I still do". I'm lying I don't.

"Exactly, that's why I never marked you. Besides most people preferred being marked after consummating their bond". He rasped drawing circles all around my neck, as my skin tingled in way it has never done before.

I gulp. "I want you to mark me". I murmured, shocking both myself and Reece, as he set me a straight glare, his eyes darker, yet his gaze much softer.

"Are you sure about this Evelyn. Once we cross this path they is no going back". He mumbled, and because a wise man once said actions speaks better than words, I knew there was no better way to convince him I'm ready, as I pulled him closer to me by his neck, and pressed my lips firmly against his.

My hands trailing from his neck to his hair, as I sank my nails deep into hair, pushing him closer, begging, and yearning for him to do this.

He slants his lips above mine, and I'm surprised by how mine played along so well, almost like it was trained for this day, this moment.

"Reece". I moaned, as his hands moved to my right breasts cupping it with my night gown still on.

He broke the kiss in a second, before I could complain his soft lips moved to my neck trailing kisses around it, before licking and sucking on the sensitive part of my neck where my neck and collarbone met causing me to moan in pleasure.

And boom I felt his sharp fangs sank deep into my neck, as a wave of pain seized me, but was quickly replaced with something else! Lust, desire, pleasure, Love.

Love? I shook my headnot wanting to ruined the moment, Reece had just marked means the happiness and pleasured that bubbled up within Myra and I, was unimaginable.

"How was it?". He prod, starring at the spot he had just marked.

"It was the best feeling in the world". I say honestly, because I doubted they was any other feeling better than being marked by your mate, but I couldn't help feeling a pang of guilt in my chest, as I watched Reece soft gaze lingered on me, his eyes filled with alot of care.

Reece had just marked me, and I didn't know what this new growth in our relationship meant for me in the future. Was he still going to starre at me with that tender gaze of his after he realised this whole marriage was only but a lie, a game. I wasn't who he thought I was, I was the hacker,and I had married him only to use him as a means to an end, that I didn't know.

But one thing was certain, just as Reece had said there was no going back from here, he wasn't mine to take but I took him. Even his mark it wasn't mine to claim but I claimed it. Any normal person would have felt guilty for kidnapping his bride and claiming his mark which was meant to be hers. But not me, I wasn't normal; I was Sophie and everything about me was fucken complicated.
