Chapter 8

Ari P.O.V

I stood still in the door way to the kitchen, watching him. He had his back to me, and his hands were resting on the counter.

She's your mate, there's nothing stopping you from taking her. He thought. No! I won't do that, I won't risk loosing her. I can't loose her. I'll wait, until she is ready.

"Thank you." I said.

Saber straightened up and turned round. "You looked like you needed the help." he said.

"I'm thankful for that too, but like I said earlier, I can read minds." I said. It clicked.

He ran a hand down his face. "Ah." he said. "Well, this just went in a different direction than I thought it was going to."

"So, how do you know that we're mates?" I asked.

"It was, in a way, your scent that told me. It stands out to me. I have no doubt, that I could pick you out in a crowd of thousands." he said. "But there's more to it. I feel an overwhelming need to protect you, where ever I am. I cant get you off my mind. When I was away, I was always wondering what you were doing." He walked over to me and ran a hand down my cheek. "Even when you asked, I couldn't stop myself from killing those men for long. I knew what they were planning, I couldn't let them get away with it, not when it was my mate."

Saber had both his hands in my hair. I knew what he wanted to do. So I raised my hand and touched his cheek, in silent encouragement. He leaned down slowly, giving me enough time to back away if I wanted to. Soon, his lips were on mine and his arms were around my waist, pulling me as close to him as possible. My arms went up and wrapped round his neck and I jumped and wrapped my legs around his waist. I could feel him smile at my response to him.

I grinded my hips against his and felt his member harden. I moaned as it rubbed against me. Saber took the opportunity of my slightly open mouth, and slid his tongue in, to map my mouth. I pulled myself as close to him as possible.

When Saber pulled back, I was breathless. "I'm not going to be able to hold back if we're not careful. If I don't hold back, it's for life. No going back. You'll be mine." He said.

In answer to his un asked question, I kissed him. I pulled away. "Then don't hold back." I wanted nothing more than to be with him.

Saber smiled and brought his lips crashing down on mine with a growl. I barely registered him moving, walking upstairs, I only realised that we'd moved when he put me down on the bed.

I gasped when I felt his hand slip down my trousers. When his hand made contact with my clit, I moaned. I moaned again when he pulled away to undo my jeans. As he pulled them down, I started to undo his. When we were both free of our trousers, he went to pull off my t-shirt, but ended up ripping it off. I was then lying there, in nothing but my underwear. I quickly tore his shirt off, to make it a little more even.

Saber kissed me again, but then his lips left mine and trailed up my jaw line to my ear, and down my neck, leaving a burning trail wherever he touched.

At the same time as he was doing that, he un-hooked my bra and threw it to one side. He moved back up my neck and along my jaw to my mouth once more, claiming it with his own.

He thrust his tongue into my mouth and at the same time I felt him push a finger into my clit. Then a second, and a third, and finally a fourth. I moaned as he started to move his hand back and fourth in my centre. My back arched and my tail wrapped round him as the pressure started to build.

"VICTOR!" I screamed as I came.

I collapsed on the bed, gasping, only now registering that, at some point, he'd pulled off both our last items of clothing.

I closed my eyes, not quite able to comprehend the height of the pleasure that I'd just experienced.

"I'm not done with you yet." Victor half growled, half purred.

My eyes opened, and met his. His normally dark brown eyes had completely gone gold. I had no doubt that mine were the same. I smiled.

"I didn't expect you to be." I said breathless. "This is going to hurt, isn't it?"

"Not for long." he said as he positioned himself above me. He thrust down quickly and I gasped in pain. It wasn't long, however, until the pain was replaced with a growing pleasure. His lips were once more on mine, possessively mapping my mouth. "Mine." he moaned.

"Yes." I agreed. I had given myself to him completely. I was his.

We moved together, and the pressure once again started to build.

"Oh, God, Victor! I-" I'd reached a point that I could no longer form coherent words.

He was moving fast and hard into me.

"Arianwen!" He roared, just as we both came and my world started to explode. His mouth moved down and latched onto the side of my neck and I felt his teeth pierce my skin.

When he pulled away, I collapsed onto the bed, exhausted. I fell quickly into unconsciousness.

No P.O.V

Saber looked at Arianwen's now sleeping form. She was his now. The mark on her neck had healed over, but its outline was still there. Somehow he knew it always would be. It would never fade, and it would show anyone who knew what it was, that she was his. His. He sighed contentedly at the thought. No other had ever had her before him. Now no other man would.

Saber turned her onto her side, and pulled her to him, so her back was against his chest. He wrapped both arms around her, and one leg, keeping his mate as close to him as possible, and buried his face in her hair, taking in her scent. He quickly fell to sleep.
