Chapter 15

Ryen walked gracefully down the stairs after she put her sister to bed. She silently walked into the TV room that she had left Reid and Tyler. Reid was still sprawled out on the couch and Tyler was still laying on the floor surrounded by a mountain of pillows. The only thing that had changed was that there was now a more teenager-ish movie playing on the screen.

A little smirk appeared on her face as she watched Tyler lazily stretch out on his back. Moving forward, she lowered herself to crawl between Tyler's open legs. His eyes snapped to her as soon as he felt the heat coming from her body. He raised an eyebrow as he watched her crawl seductively up his body. A sweet smile was on her lips once she reached him face to face. A knowing smirk was on his.

Lowering her head, she let her lips drag across his jaw lightly, her nose nudged his chin playfully before she moved and resented her head underneath his chin.

She smiled triumphantly as she listened to his racing heartbeat and almost giggled as she felt him take a deep breath. A moment later, she was on her back, Tyler was between her open legs and pinning her down with the force of his hips. Her throat went dry as she looked up into his lust-filled blue eyes.

Reid's yells of protests of getting a room went unheard to the couple on the floor. The pillow he threw did get a menacing glare from Tyler, who then threw it back hitting Reid square in the face.

"Now you decide to grow a pair," came Reid's reply as he stormed out of the room.

Tyler's eyes went back to Runa's closed ones. Her lips parted ever so slightly as she panted. A moan escaped her as his lips pressed against her hard. Her hands went to his hair in an attempt to keep his lips on hers, and legs wrapped around his waist. Tyler pulled away with a groan as he felt her hip trying to move underneath him.

"Stop," he breathlessly commanded.

Her body stilled, arms and legs falling to the floor as she looked up at him.

"Your eyes have silver in them," he softly said as his breathing evened out. Curiosity evident in his voice.
"Only for you," came her loving reply.
"What does it mean?"
"Passion, lust, love. Only mates can share it. It represents how weak they feel toward each other."
"Silver, myth or true?"
"Myth, we do have an allergic sensitivity toward it though, makes us weak, but it can't kill us."

"You stopped when I"
"Don't let it go to your head. I was starting to lose control."
"Yeah, I felt that," he breathed out as he lifted his hips off hers.

She chuckled, head turning to the side as she closed her eyes, "Just wait 'til the full moon, it get's worse."

"Yeah, I don't see how having you all hot and horny could be bad," he nuzzled her exposed neck.
"Now that I've found you," she hummed, exposing more of her neck. "I'll be in heat ever full moon until we're mated."
"Still don't see how that could be bad," he chuckled. "I can handle sex."
A moan escaped Ryen as she heard him barely whisper that.

"Mating is more than just sex," she felt Tyler pull away.
"I thought mating was another term for sex," he stated with clear confusion.
"It is. Mated, is different. It's the complete connection between souls."
"How is that possible?"
"I think it has something to do with animal instincts, but I don't know."
"What is the connection?"
"Mind, body, and soul. You can hear one another through thoughts, can feel what the other is feeling and physical well being. Virtue said it was like feeling an emptiness being filled."
"And you want that?" he asked with absolutely no emotion.
"Doesn't everyone?" she finally opened up her eyes to look up at him as he rolled off her and laid on his back.

"I guess," he said after a long moment of silence.

Minutes after an awkward silence, one that was only filled with the opening and closing of cabinets from the kitchen as Reid stormed the kitchen for food, Ryen sighed. She rolled to her side, resting her hand against Tyler's beating heart.

"I know that you're upset about it. I don't know how to explain it any other way. We don't have to be mated. I'll wait. Forever if I have to. I just need you with me."

Sorry for the wait. My computers been down. I will try to keep updating more fequently.
