Chapter 21

Ari P.O.V.

I woke up the next morning, curled up, with Vic curled around me, surrounding me completely. I wondered for a moment how I got there, and then I remembered. I smiled as I looked at the ring. Yet another sign that I was taken.

I felt Vic shift, and then stretch out as he woke up. I turned round and smiled up at him. "Good morning." I said.

"Morning. Fancy a shower?"

"Depends, will we be having one at the same time?" I asked, smiling.

"I wasn't suggesting you have one alone." He said.

"Sounds good to me then." I answered.

He grinned and got up off the bed and then leaned down and leaned down and picked me up off the bed, bridal style, and began walking to the bathroom.

"I can walk you know."

"I don't want to let you go." Vic said, in a 'that's final', kind of tone.

I shrugged and relaxed into him. Vic only placed me on the floor when he'd stepped into the shower. He reached round me and turned on the shower. The hot water spilled down onto us, and we began cleaning the remaining blood off each other. Some of it had passed to me during last nights activities.

When we were clean, Vic pushed me up against the wall. I smiled and bit my lower lip and looked at him from under my eyelashes.

My eyes closed as I felt Vic's lips leave a burning trail along my jaw line, neck and shoulder. His hands rubbed and pinched my taught nipples and I felt his stiff member rub against me.

I jumped and wrapped my legs around his waist. He was in me within a moment and thrusting. My claws dug into Vic's back as I threw my head back. Just as I was about to scream in pleasure, Vic brought my lips onto his, and our kiss muffled it.

When we both came, Vic backed up, allowing me to step away from the wall that he'd had me pressed against.

He brought me close to him and ran a finger down my cheek, his eyes locked with mine.

"I love making you scream in pleasure." he said.

"You're the only one who ever will." I said to him.

His arms tightened round me and he buirried his face in my wet hair. "My instincts went into overdrive last night. I had to deal with those men, and then lay claim to you, show everyone to whom you belong. This is forever, Arianwen. I'll never let you go."

"I know Vic. It's going to be a good forever."

"Yes it is."

"We'd probably better get dressed, other wise Cari will be in here, demanding we come down for breakfast."

He laughed and we got out of the shower. We dried off and finished getting dressed, just as there was a knock on the door.

I went to it and opened it, to see a smiling Cari. "Ready for breakfast?"

"Just about." I said. "We'll meet you down there."

"Ok. No detours." She shook a finger at me, I laughed and closed the door as she turned away.

"What did I say?" I asked Vic.

He chuckled and brought his lips onto mine. When he pulled away, my eyes were closed. "Lets go then." He said.

As we walked out the room and down the corridor I turned to him. "What time's check out?"

"It would have been twelve, but I booked the room for two nights. That way we can either stay for another night, or just go back to yours later."

"I quite like the idea of staying another night."

"Then that's what we'll do."

"I'll tell Cari and ask her to pop in to mine on the way back and tell my ma then."

Down it the hotel restaurant, the guys were already sitting down, waiting for their breakfast to arrive. We took the last two seats at the table, and as soon as we did, both Paddy and Mark shook Victor's hand.

"Those bastards deserved it." Mark said, holding up a newspaper. The title read: WILD ANIMAL GOES ON RAMPAGE NEAR CLUB!

I took it and read through the article. There was nothing there that said anything that could lead back to Vic, and all the statements of people who knew them were saying that they were glad they were dead, they weren't popular people. I handed Vic the paper, who quickly scanned the article and smiled.

"That was my intention," he said.

The two of us ordered our breakfast when the others breakfasts arrived. We talked for a while, and Cari agreed to drop in to my mam's and tell her that I wouldn't be back untill tomorrow. I also got her to swear not to tell my mam that I was engaged, that, was for me to do.

When the guys left, they each gave me a hug and congratulated us both before walking out of the hotel.

Vic and I went straight back to the room. Once there, Vic sat down and pulled me onto his lap. I wrapped my legs round his waist and my arms around his shoulders. One of Vic's arms went round my waist, while he ran his index finger of his free hand down my nose. My eyes closed as he did it and I purred. I felt Vic's chuckle. "You do know that that's the same reaction that a cat has, don't you?"

"Have you not seen the ears, tail and eyes?" I asked him sarcastically.

Vic laughed. "I allways notice them, Kitten. Where do you think my nickname for you comes from?" his arm tightened around my waist, my upper body was now pressed completely against Vic's. My legs tightened around him automatically in response. My body responded to his lightest touch by now, whether I wanted it to or not, but I allways did.

My eyes locked with his and I was lost in their depth. I felt my inner animal stir, and take over.

No P.O.V

Victor noticed immediately when his mate's animalistic side came out. He did the first thing that came to mind, he let his own out. His hand weaved into her hair at the nape of her neck, and positioned her head so he could better attack her lips.

It didn't take them long to undress each other. As soon as she could, Ari slipped out of his grasp and knelt down on the floor. She put her mouth on his hard member, causing Victor to growl in pleasure as she used her talented mouth. He began to thrust into her mouth, causing what he was feeling to increase. When he came, she swallowed everything he gave her.

Victor pulled her up onto the bed and positioned her so she was sitting with her back against the headboard. He put his mouth to her neck, right on her mark, and bit down, drawing a bit of blood. He held down until he was sure she was completely subjected to his will for the time being, before licking the blood off her neck when the cut healed over.

Vic claimed her mouth with his own. He positioned himself between her already spread legs, before thrusting into her. He moved his mouth, and lowered it, attaching it to one of her taught nipples, which were begging for his attention. He sucked and bit, as he thrust into her. He felt her claws dig into his back and draw blood.

Victor heared a scream building in Ari's throat, but instead of muffling it this time, he let it come out, and he revelled in it. They came at the same time but when they were done, he made no move to remove himself from her.

"Victor." She panted, as she tried to catch her breath. He tightened his hold on her when he heard the her whispered "I love you." Yes, he was never letting her go. She was his forever.
