SWNOVELS Fated out Chapter 200
200 You’re Mine!!!
Lyla co
I stared at him, wondering if this was a ploy. Soon, some pack members or maybe Cassidy herself would jump out of nowhere and laugh at me, claiming I had fallen for their trick.
He steadied me on the ground, reluctantly letting me go, although his hands were still wrapped around my waist.
“Don’t look so surprised, Lyla,” he said gently finally letting me go.
The door to my room was still ajar, and this man… the last person I expected to see–was telling me to my face that he was ready to let go of Cassidy, let go of his relationship, his duties, everything that had been an obstacle all along because of me.
“What do you mean you’re not getting married tomorrow?” My voice came out as barely a whisper because my mind still struggled to process his sudden declaration.
“I’m not getting married tomorrow,” he repeated, his golden eyes locked on mine. There was no hesitation in his gaze, no waver in his voice. He sounded sure of what he was saying.
“I heard you the first time, I replied. “Just, what are you talking about? What do yo stammered, my heart was racing.
mean?” I
He took a step forward, his presence overwhelming my senses. With each step he took toward me, I took one backwards until my back was pressed against the cool wall. Somewhere in the slow walk, he had closed the door.
I wanted to tell him to leave – I wanted to ask him to leave and never come back. I wasn’t pissed, I wasn’t even angry, I was everything but unhappy. But I hated that my body was automatically melting against him… I hated everything but, I was powerless. It was as if I couldn’t function at the moment. All I wanted to do right now was…
I didn’t know.
“I can’t marry her, Lyla, his voice was husky, filled with an intensity that weakened my knees. My lower abdomen pulsed with want but I ignored it. “Not every time I close my eyes, all I see is you. Not when my heart has belonged to you since the moment we first met.
“D–Did you call it off or something?” I stuttered, trying not to think about his scent filling up my nostrils, sending warm tingles within me. He placed one hand against the wall beside my head effectively caging me and my breath caught in my throat.
The heat – his scent radiating from his body was intoxicating, making it impossible for me to think straight. Our faces were inches apart, and I could see the flecks of green in his amber eyes.
*I’ve never stopped loving you,” he confessed, his free hand coming up to cup my cheek. His touch sent electricity coursing through my veins. I found myself leaning into it. “Every decision
you.” I’ve made, every path I’ve taken they’ve all led me back to
–
My pulse quickened, and I instinctively backed up, trapped between the wall and him. “Ramsey, you’re not making any sense. You’re supposed to be married tomorrow. This this isn’t…”

200 You’re Mine!
“I love you!” he cut me off, his voice was raw with emotions. “I’ve always loved you. And no. matter how much I’ve tried to bury it, to convince myself I could move on, I can’t. You’re in my blood, in my soul. I was a fool for letting you slip through my fingers. For everything I did to you. I know words are not enough.
“You hurt me!” I interrupted him shaking my head. “That’s all I can ever think about, and think of. You cannot hurt the person you love…”
“I’m not too late, he interrupted, practically melting into my body. His hand reached out, brushing against my cheek. I squirmed, fighting off a moan. “I should’ve fought for you sooner, but I’m here now. And I’m not letting you go.”
My world tilted on its axis. Here was the man I’d dreamed about for countless nights, the one whose memory I’d tried desperately to erase. Yet somehow, he’d found his way back to me, confessing the words I’d longed to hear.
“Ramsey, I began, “You can’t just say these things now. You’re too late and honestly, it doesn’t justify your behaviour towards me.
He leaned closer to me, his lips were merely an inch from my ear, “How can I show you? How do 1 make it up?”
At this
todo didn’t think we were bothered about the apology because right now, all I wanted
to ask him to kiss me. I was no longer hearing what he was saying or understanding the words he was using. My hands trembled as they found their way to his chest, feeling his racing heartbeat beneath my palms.
I tried to steady my breathing, but it was impossible. His touch, his voice, his presence – it was all consuming me.
“Ramsey, we can’t…” I tried again, but the words died in my throat when his forehead pressed against mine.
“Tell me you don’t feel it, he murmured, his breath was warm against my lips. “Tell me you don’t feel this pull between us.”
I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to stay strong. But the bond, the connection was undeniable. We kept squirming in each other’s arms, daring the other person to move to make a first move. He was running his hand up and down my arm…our gazes met and I saw it as plain as day what he meant and what he wanted.
“I don’t know, I whispered, my voice had automatically gone to a whisper.
His lips curved into a sad smile. “You do know. You’ve always known”
Before I could respond, he closed the remaining distance between them. His lips brushed against mine, soft and hesitant at first, as if giving me a chance to pull away. But I didn’t. My breath hitched and I found myself leaning into him, my resolve crumbling with each passing
second. O
He didn’t take it any further, he didn’t try to deepen the kiss.
Unable to resist any longer, I lift
myself on my tiptoes, my fingers curling into the lapels of his jacket. Our lips met again, in a kiss that felt like homecoming after years of wandering. He

2DD You’re Mine!!!
responded immediately, his arm wrapping around my waist to pull me closer.
His mouth was all hunger and restraint breaking at the seams, and I couldn’t help but grab his shirt to pull him closer. My fingers tangled in his hair, my body responding to him in ways [ couldn’t control.
“Ramsey, I gasped against his lips, my voice was a mix of protest and need.
He pulled back just enough to look into my eyes. “Tell me to stop, Lyla and I will. I promise, I will but don’t,” he sighed softly. “But if you don’t…” his voice trailed off…
How do you tell a will
man you want him in a way that by the time he’s done with you, your legs
be so
jittery and you won’t be able to walk properly? I was looking forward to my wedding night with Nathan because I haven’t been with any other man since Ramsey four years ago.
I didn’t say anything, I grabbed his wrist pulling him back to me. Our mouths collided in a desperate, fiery kiss this time around. There was no going back.
His lips moved against mine with a familiarity that made my heart ache, reminding me of all the years we’d lost. Ramsey deepened the kiss, pouring years of longing and unspoken words into it. His hand slid from my cheek to the nape of my neck.
He stopped for a moment, resting his forehead on mine again, both of us were breathing heavily. His thumb traced gentle circles on my hip. His hands were slowly working the tie I made with the ropes of the robe I had on.
The thought that he would find me naked underneath, made me clasp my legs. My hand slid under his shirt, feeling the heat of his skin and the hard planes of his chest. I pushed the fabric upward, loving the way his hands were roaming over my curves, exploring every inch of me as if he was memorizing me all over again.
He pressed a warm kiss on my neck, pushing the robe aside to nibble gently on the exposed skin. He broke this kiss long enough to allow me to pull his shirt over his head, revealing his muscular
torso.
“I’ve dreamed of this moment,” he whispered, “goddess, babe!” he groaned, as my hand brushed against his hardness pressing against my thigh.
“The other time we made love, Ramsey, I murmured, meeting his gaze. “You rushed me… now I want you to make love to me, slow and long.”
“You know how long I’ve been waiting to do this?” he murmured, his knee parting my legs. He swept my hair off my neck, holding me still. “You’re going to take every inch of me tonight…
“You’re mine!”
