Fated is overrated

Zane POV

I don't know how much more I will be able to take. To have the woman of my dreams almost begging us to take her is pulling at me hard. The only thing keeping me from pouncing on her, is that I would never want her to regret her first time with us. Which she would if we caved now, because she isn't in her right mind.

This is purely the heat talking. Sure we were having some fun in the bedroom, but she isn't ready for that next step yet. And honestly, it terrifies me beyond words too.

What if I am unable to control Lance, or even myself from marking her? She would f*cking hate me forever. But the urge to mark can be overpowering, especially when having s*x with your mate.

I can barely think of anything else besides marking and mating with her, my perfect mate. I was so glad Zeke took her to the lake to cool off, I'm not sure what I would have done in his situation.

But, as they are coming back inside and I smell her arousal heavily in the air already again, combined with that taunting comment, I am not sure it helped that much. I can tell by the pleading look on Zeke's face that he is also struggling. But we have to stay strong. ** 2 days later**

The last days have been nothing short of absolute f*cking torture. The things she has said and done... wow. I can't tell how many times Lance tried taking control forcefully. And let me tell you - each time a Lycan tries to do that, it f*cking hurts! But, Zeke and I managed to plow through with each other's help. Many paragraphs are missing. Read the complete book on J o=b n-l b. c (o) m .We would do anything to gain her trust and love, even if it meant not giving in to her and our urges. And although she didn't see it like that at the time, I hope she does once the heat clears up completely. We have already noticed her temperature is going down today, it won't be long until she feels normal again. She is sprawled on the bed like a starfish, and I can't help but chuckle at the adorable sight.

'I doubt she will want to sleep with us ever again, she looks quite comfortable having the bed all to herself' I link Zeke, as to not wake her up. Zeke is smiling lovingly, while replying 'she better come back to our bed.

I hated sleeping without her'. 'I couldn't agree more on that. You are not as soft to cuddle as she is'. Zeke grimaces, and I can't help but chuckle out loud.

I glance over to Lola and see she is starting to stir in her sleep now, I must have woken her up. 'Let's make breakfast' Zeke links me, and he leaves the door opening we were standing in. I follow him out, and we start making breakfast for our perfect mate. Eggs, bacon, muffins (yes - I have some hidden talents) and of course scones, as we know our little mate loves them enough to preserve them during battle.

As I am getting the muffins and scones from the oven, we hear some soft footsteps approach, before Lola emerges in the kitchen. "Good morning" she yawns, and I can't help but chuckle.

She is quite the sleepyhead. And if there is one thing I have learned from these past days is to never, ever, wake her up. I still intend to try waking her up with my mouth nibbling at her folds one time, but these past 2 days were not the time for that, as Lance would have probably taken control and marked her."

Hey sleepyhead, how are you feeling?" Zeke answers cheerfully. "Good actually! I think the heat is dying down, I am feeling pretty normal again" she sets herself on the kitchen counter.

She is wearing her black silky nightgown, and I need to get my mind out of the gutter again. "That is great! I suggest we still stay here for the day to be sure. But, where would you like us to take you after that?". She ponders on it for a bit, before answering "actually, I would like to stay here for a bit if that's OK?".

My heart squeezes at the thought of her wanting to be here all alone. Without us. But at least she will be close, I guess. "Sure" Zeke replies softly, with a small croak in his voice. "If you 2 can spare the time, that is.

Otherwise I guess I will just go back to the dragon castle". My heart skips a beat instantly. She meant to stay here with us? It means the world to me, as this is the house we had built especially for her, knowing she likes the lake so much.

Zeke seems to be at a loss for words, so I chime in with a bright smile "we would make the time, even if we couldn't spare it. You are our number 1 priority".

I head over to her and wrap my arms around her waist, before kissing the top of her head. As I pull back she smiles at me so broadly, my heart completely melts.

This woman is everything to me. "Now, let's eat!" I exclaim, while grabbing the muffins and scones. "SCONES!" she yells excitedly, and Zeke and I both laugh. "I wish you would react that excitedly towards us" I tease, before setting the basket next to her. "Hey! I did in the past 2 days! You just didn't bite" she teases back.

"Oh I'll bite alright, but only when it's you who wants it and it's not just the heat talking" I shoot back playfully, before tossing a bit of muffin her way. We eat our breakfast chatting about everything and nothing, getting to know each other more and more. Lola retreats to her room, while Zeke and I clear the table.

When she comes back out, she is in the most sexy bikini there was to find in her closet. Once again we get bitten by our own stupid choices, because we were the ones to stock her closet with clothes.

The bikini is bright yellow, with a splash of black lace on the top of both her bottoms and top. We had this one especially made for her, as we know this is her favorite color combination. I gulp down a lump of saliva seeing her in it. I have to reshuffle my legs a bit, as I feel I am starting to get hard already. Goddess, what this woman does to me.
