Patty awoke naked and sore in a bedroom she'd only ever been in when cleaning. She looked around for the owner to find him standing next to the door in his signature leather pants staring intently at her. Patty pulled the blanket up a little higher feeling embarrassed. Dante smirked at her shyness even though he'd already seen and had everything she has. He walked slowly toward her, not wishing to spook her. Patty s eyes followed every move he made as he sat on the end of the bed, like he was waiting for something. Patty looked down when it occurred to her he was waiting on her.
"What s going on?"
"I'm half devil, remember?" Patty nodded, "the demon inside me is still there but I'm normally in control." Dante took a deep breath. "But when a devil chooses his mate, there s no stopping him from having her. And I couldn't stop either, I had to have you. It s why I sent you away so long ago, to stop the devil mating with you at such a young age."
"We are mates? Is that like husband and wife?"
"Sort of, but even more than that; we are connected. You are mine as I am yours. There s no way out, not even death for when one dies the other will follow." Patty touched her shoulder, feeling the bite mark. "That's my mark, marking you for all devils to know you are my mate and not to be touched." Patty sat silently for a while mulling over these turn of events. She looked up suddenly and connected eyes with Dante.
"Now what?" Dante truly smiled, she had taken it much better than he expected. "I called Lady to bring you new clothes since I destroyed yours. They are sitting over there. But before that, are you still sore?"
"Um yes, a little," Patty shyly answered. Dante moved closer, siding up to her as she sat perfectly still. "Well we can't have that" he whispered seductively. She twisted towards him but he had already set his sights on her shoulder. Dante didn't get to participate much in the first mating but he was determined to make sure he enjoyed her now.

Patty walked on wobbly legs as she moved toward the bathroom to pee. The sheet wrapped around her body. Patty constantly ran over the events of the last 24hrs in her mind, she thinks it s only been a day but Dante s kept her busy and her mind so preoccupied she just wasn't sure anymore. She managed to get there before he popped up behind her.
"Are you alright?" Patty jumped in surprise. "Yes." Dante reached out and ran his fingers along the side of her face, boring his eyes into hers. "Good." He found his answer and moved on downstairs. Patty quickly dove into the bathroom and finished her business.

Later on Patty moved down the stairs slowly, dressed but feeling slightly dizzy. Lady and Dante turned towards her as she came down the stairs. Dante walked towards her and swung an arm around her waist holding her against his chest with his head on top of hers. Lady smiled towards them.
"Are you alright, Patty?" Dante glared down at Lady, warning her off. Patty smiled, grateful for the concern.
"Yes Lady, I'm perfectly fine."
"Just sometimes Devils can be a bit too rough," Dante growled softly at the accusation, "but Dante would never harm you, right?" Patty giggled.
"No, he wouldn't, right?" Patty turned her head upwards as in to ask him the question. Dante slide his head down into her shoulder and growled slightly, licking the mark on her shoulder. Lady grimaced, taking a few steps back and excusing herself. The energy was rising around Dante; the Devil was awakening in him. Maybe her questioning was a bit of a push, a Devil doesn't hurt their mate and such an action was disgraceful. It might be pulling out to prove its point. She whispered her apologises to Patty but they lost in the wind as she made her escape.

Patty stood with the Devil of Dante.
"Mine," it whispered. "Never harmed. Both always safe."
"Both?" Patty breathlessly asked. Dante lightly touched her stomach.
"Both." Patty stared down at his hand, shocked by the idea of being pregnant. "Mine." He stated once more before he captured her lips in a powerful kiss.

Patty awoke again in his bed again. But then it was now their bed. He was her mate, like a husband. And she was going to have a child. Patty smiled. She now had a family of her own.
