Taming the Beast

(Caroline's POV)

I wasn't exactly sure what happened, but all I knew was that Keegan and I were completing the mating process tonight, and that thought had me giddy. I felt more than great. I felt stronger, and almost a little invincible. Keegan snuck me out of the house and to the car. We managed to get to my house right at sunset without anybody catching us. As far as everyone else knew, we were still in the basement hospital. walked up to my bathroom and took a quick shower; washing the sweat and dirt away. I towel dried my hair so my currently darker blonde hair was still damp and hanging wavy to the middle of my back. I walked out with the towel wrapped around my body tightly. Keegan was sitting on the edge of my bed. His eyes glanced down my body. I walked closer to him and his hands rested on my hips.

"Y-You're mark is very faint now," I said, slightly nervous. He smiled up at me.

"Don't be nervous Care... it's just me," he said softly. His words were comforting. He stood in front of me and kissed me gently, his hands still on my hips. "I love you," he muttered into my lips. I smiled against his lips as my hands went to the back of his neck, pulling him closer to me. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He turned and set me so my back was on the bed. His hands slowly undid the towel and tossed it aside. He pulled away and drank in my body with his eyes.

"I love you, Keegan," I breathed, finally able to talk. His eyes were bright amber gold with no traces of black in them.

"You are so beautiful," he breathed before his lips were on mine again fiercely. I moaned into his lips and tugged at the bottom of his shirt. He quickly pulled it over his head before he slipped out of his pants and boxers. He reached his hand down as his lips attached to my neck. I gasped and my mouth opened as his fingers teased me below. I moaned and arched my back slightly as his fingers dipped inside of me. My breathing picked up as he added more fingers, preparing me. I'd seen him fully before. I briefly wondered how he was going to fit. His fingers thrusts one last time before he rubbed his fingers over my aching womanhood and positioned himself between my legs. His lips left my body as he looked at me. His eyes searched my face full of lust and love.

"Are you ready?" he asked. I nodded, slightly out of breath. He hovered over me. I felt him at my entrance before he pushed into me. I screamed and immediately tried to push him out, but he stayed where he

was.

"Ow, Keegan, it hurts!" I cried. He leaned over and kissed my neck gently as he groaned.

"I know, baby, I know, and I'm sorry. It'll feel better after a while. I promise," he breathed into my neck huskily. With his lips comforting me, he didn't move. I knew that he probably only had the tip in, and that's what scared me. After a minute, I relaxed a little bit. When I did, Keegan pushed into me a little further, making me yelp and grip his shoulders. He pushed even further, making tears spring to my eyes. "I don't want to do this anymore. It hurts," I cried.

"Baby we can't stop now. You can't stop once you've started, it'll only make it worse later," he said pushed into me a little further. I screamed and screwed my eyes shut as I cried. He pulled out before pushing back in, making me scream again. Every time, he would apologize. I knew that he was trying to be gentle with me. After a while, my screams turned into loud moans as Keegan started picking up the pace and going deeper. My nails dug into Keegan's back earning a growl from him. He was starting to pants as well. We were both gasping for air as Keegan kept steady, gentle thrusts. With every thrust Keegan watched my face. He came down and kissed my lips gently.

"You're mine," he growled. I moaned as his hips trusts into me faster. I could feel our separate entities morphing into one as we continued. I could feel Keegan tense above me as a pressure built up in my lowe regions. Butterflies attacked my stomach as my toes curled and my back arched. I sucked in a breath as my legs started shaking and I moaned Keegan's name loudly. He thrust in a few more time before he released with me. He panted as he hovered above me. We were both hot, sweaty messes. I knew my hair was probably tangled but I didn't care. I was officially Keegan's mate. He brought his head up and peeked at me.

"Are you okay?" Keegan asked in a sexy husky voice. I nodded slowly, not really trusting my words. "I love you Caroline... so much," he said softer I smiled and pulled his lips to mine as I kissed him deeply. "I love you," I whispered. He pulled out and laid beside me, trying to catch his breath. I crawled out of the bed on shaky legs and headed my drawers. I had to hold on to things so I didn't fall over. I eventually decided against pajamas. I brushed through my hair and brushed my teeth before I went back to the bed. I was too sore to walk anymore. I crawled under the covers and Keegan did also. He pulled me tightly to him so we were spooning, me being the little spoon. His cool minty breath fanned my neck as he said goodnight to me. I returned the sentiment.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
