*sorry for the delay guys* LS
His touch was far more delicate than his build suggested.
Kylie watched Roy intently as he tended to her wound like a mother would tend to a child's injury. She still couldn't fathom why she wasn't scared of the man, she had been brought into this house by a wolf, but the first person that walked in after the wolf's exit was Roy. He hadn't said a lot to her at his entrance and she had asked him nothing. Even now, as he wrapped her sprained ankle in a bandage, he was eerily quiet and she was conflicted as to whether she should question him about his double identity or wait on him to tell her what he felt she needed to know at his own time
The only thing she could say for certain right now was that she trusted him, she trusted that he would keep her safe. Just being with him made her feel protected in a way she had never felt all her life. it was a similar feeling that had come upon her when the blonde wolf blocked her from the approaching brown wolf, she wasn't scared of the animal. She knew she was supposed to be, hell, she had been terrified by the brown wolf, but she felt nothing like that with the blonde wolf and there could only be one explanation for that.
He hit a particularly sore spot in her ankle and she sucked in a breath, he paused in his movements, but his eyes remained on her foot, "Sorry." He said after a while, "Did I...did I hurt you?" he asked. She could hear the concern in his voice and just a little bit of fear.
For someone so big, Kylie realized the man acted unsure of himself around her. from what she had been told of him, he was usually assertive and brimming with confidence, she had seen that when he first announced his presence in the foyer some days ago, but with her, he was much softer, "No, I'm fine." She replied.
With her assurance, he continued in his tending to her, but she found that she wasn't comfortable with his silence. She was very talkative in nature, and she wanted to talk to him, maybe find out a few things about him if he was willing to indulge her... but she found that she was similarly unsure of herself around him. still, his silence simply wouldn't do.
"How did you know I was injured?" she asked, eager to begin a conversation with him.
It took him a while to answer so that she almost thought he hadn't heard her question, "A friend told me." He replied, still not looking at her
"What friend?"
"Caleb." he replied
She raised her brow and smiled at his answer, "But Caleb wasn't there, it was just me and three werewolves. The blonde one brought me here, the one with fur very much similar to the hair on your head." She teased him. She was unsure of how he reacted to such things, but there was no harm in trying her luck, right?
He paused once again and then took her now bandaged foot off his leg, he grabbed a small pillow and placed it on the bed and put her sprained foot on the pillow, "You shouldn't walk around the garden alone." He said in a hard voice, totally ignoring her words
Kylie watched him rise to his feet and panic came upon her. she didn't want him gone, she wanted to spend some time with him. She couldn't place her finger on this man and it was driving her nuts how closed off he had become since they kissed. She had been convinced that he was her mate, but his subsequent behavior had caused her to question that conclusion. It was like he had been avoiding her and if not for this incident, he probably would have continued avoiding her like he had been doing these past few days.
"Roy." She called out before he could move away from the bed. She wanted to physically stop him, but her sprain ensured that her movement was limited. He paused in his movement and she continued, knowing she had his ear, "Look at me, please." She didn't know what she had been asking for, just a few days ago, she had wanted nothing more than to get away from his intense gaze, now, she was asking for it. she had missed it, missed him. it was an odd thing to feel for someone who was more or less a stranger, but it didn't stop the feeling. Having his attention today was more than she could ask for and she didn't want to lose it so quickly
She could see the way the muscles of his back flexed beneath his shirt, it was like he was indecisive, what had she done wrong to make him want to avoid her this much? Unwilling to just sit by and watch him leave, she moved her good leg off the bed and to the floor, she might as well get on her feet if she expected him to take her seriously.
"Don't do that." He said as he rushed to her side, he took her leg and placed it back on the bed, "Do you want to hurt yourself?" he asked.
She noticed once again that even as he helped her back into the bed, he wouldn't look at her. she felt slightly hurt by that, "I just want you to look at me." She replied, her frustration seeped into her tone. A frustration she couldn't explain, it was just there, somewhere in her heart, tearing at her and begging for his attention in more than just a passive form, "You don't get to just turn off your switch after kissing someone the way you kissed me."
His eyes suddenly shot up to her face when she mentioned their kiss and Kylie felt her heart stop beating momentarily when those blue eyes fell on her, "That was a mistake, I shouldn't...I shouldn't have taken advantage of you like that."
Those words felt like a slap to Kylie
Here she was daydreaming about their kiss every single day since it occurred. She had been excited by it even, she had walked around with a silly smile on her face every time it came to her mind, she had thought for sure it meant something, and here was telling her it shouldn't have happened? The only thing he felt concerning their kiss was guilt and it made her feel disappointed that he wasn't as excited by it as she had been. Then again, what had she expected? She was some impressionable teenager and it was obvious this man had been with far more experienced ladies, he was no spring chicken after all, she wasn't likely to be memorable to him. She swallowed the large ball of disappointment that seemed stuck in her throat and prepared herself for a second blow as she forced out her next question, "And when you said I was yours? Was that a mistake as well?" she enquired.
It was his turn to freeze this time, he stared at her for what felt like over a minute, but he was unable to utter a word, the longer he stayed mute, the more hope grew in Kylie's heart. If it was a mistake, he would have blurted it out immediately, but it wasn't, it hadn't been. His reaction was all the confirmation she needed.
She reached for his arm and wrapped her tiny hand around it, loving the feel of his toned arm in her hand, she pulled him closer and he moved toward her of his own volition until their faces were inches apart and she could see every emotion in those eyes of his. Kylie had never been this bold, she was more of the timid girl than the bold one, she never thought she had the balls to be this close to a guy, even less be the one to bring him this close, but here she was, doing just what she thought herself incapable of, "Am I your mate, Roy?" she asked softly.
Even before the words left his lips, his arm snaked around her waist and pulled her to him, "Yes, Kylie, you are my mate." His declaration was sealed with a passionate kiss on her lips. Kylie felt he current zip through her the minute his lips found hers, sending her body into a frenzy, it was just like the last time, maybe better. Her body molded onto his as he kissed her like a man possessed, a tiny moan tearing through her when his tongue found its way into her mouth. She felt moistness pool between her thighs and a delicious, but unfamiliar ache rest in her nether regions, was this what arousal felt like?
She felt him lower her body to the bed as his followed her until he was lying on top her, she knew he made sure not to put his full weight on her body, but it felt good to have him so close...it felt very good. His hand slid from her waist to her fleshy butt, he filled his palm with the generous flesh, causing her to whimper softly as her legs parted in invitation, that tiny movement on her part led to him sinking between her soft thighs so that his hard length came in contact with her heated core through the fabric of their clothes.
Roy growled into her mouth and his hand squeezed her bum as he stroked his length against that maddening heat. Kylie shuddered against him, a loud moan tearing out of her throat even as she parted her thighs further to feel more of him. His lips left hers and he placed large, wet kisses against her neck as his hand moved from her ass to her thigh, he wrapped one leg around his waist and stroked himself against her core, wanting so much to rid themselves of the clothes that denied him full access to his mate's willing body.
Kylie's fingers were buried in his blonde mane as her free hand roamed over his muscular body, her back arched off the bed whenever she felt him hit a particularly delicious spot. She had never imagined herself with a man, this was as close to sex as she had ever gotten and it was turning out to be quite the experience. She was heady with arousal and her entire body felt like it would combust.
"Kylie I heard you were....."
