DIANA’S POV
Was I ready to be marked?
Looking into Angelo's grey eyes, I realized I've known the answer for some time now. I've known ever since I laid eyes on him on my bed, the same bed he passed out on cold, ever since that night I knew he was coming into my life to stay. My heart was clenching at the very thought of refusing him again, I was done defying him. I could accept him for everything that he was. If anyone was going to mark me it was going to be him, let's face it.
"Do I get to mark you as well?" I asked after thinking about it. The thought of him tied to me like that gave me underlying satisfaction. I was like putting a ring on a woman's finger and announcing you were together for the long run. The werewolf side was a little more aggressive now that I compare it to them. The mark was a bite.
"Yes," Angelo answered, his eyes were darkening before my eyes and I knew he was fighting his inner wolf this very moment from just forcing it upon me. A wild wolf inside of you ready to take form while fighting against your inner walls to try to escape could put a strain on anyone. I liked Angelo's answer since he was willing to carry the mark as well. Everybody would know he is my mate and vice versa. A smile slipped out my lips when he eagerly got up into a sitting position with me straddling his waist facing his bare chest.
Slowly, teasing him, I moved my hair to the side exposing my neck to him. "Mark me,"
"My pleasure," Angelo said with a heartwarming smile before leaning in and breathing on my neck. "But first, I want to hear you beg me too."
What?
I'm not the type to beg so it made me slightly cocky when he began to kiss my neck. Meanwhile, I ran my fingers through his hair messing it up even more than it already was. "Well, that's not going to happen, sweet cheeks."
"Sweet cheeks?" Angelo asked entirely amused by the nickname I gave him since the moment my eyes laid on his behind before getting serious again. It had slipped out without my control but it was a great nickname for his ass. I didn't bother to explain myself as I felt my cheeks get redden at the thought of him naked.
It did not take long before my body started to heat up from the inside out when I felt him kiss and lick sensually a sensitive spot on my neck. It made me forget his earlier intention. A moan escaped my lips when he playfully bit the same spot with his teeth. Angelo had found my weak spot quicker than I presumed. I tried to think of other topics to escape from the cloud of pleasure he was surrounding me in.
"Hmm, I think I quite like the sound of that," Angelo said making me growl lightly at him because he toying with me. "That too, but I think it was more like this." Angelo's red lips sucked on my neck a certain way that brought out my moans. I wanted to get him back for making me weak but then the door to my room snapped open making us break apart.
"What the hell?" I shouted at the person, not caring who it was. Nobody entered my room without knocking around here. I was making sure I was decently dressed when a familiar voice spoke causing me to freeze at the sound of it.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Was I interrupting something?" Benjamin asked nonchalantly his hand still on the door.
"Fuck yes," Angelo said angrily, he was ready to punch him for it. I looked up to meet clearest blue eyes that only belonged to Benjamin before that scent of his hit me. He was casually leaning against the doorframe now. In his eyes, you could see he was amused by the situation, yet something was off about him.
"What are you doing here?" I asked dumbfounded. I'm pretty sure my mouth was wide open that a big fly could just land there without any trouble. I had to close it forced myself to move on from my initial shock. Who just barges into a room like that?
"You know him?" Angelo asked when Benjamin smiled at me completely ignoring Angelo. He had his dark blonde hair combed back nicely but one strand didn't seem to want to listen and it fell just over his captivating eyes. Did I know him? Sort of, um yeah no, not really.
"Me and Diana? We go way back, don't we?" Benjamin asked me raising one blonde eyebrow up towards me. He was lying but that possibility didn't seem to go through Angelo's mind because he pulled me closer to him like I would be taken away from him right that moment. Angelo's grey eyes did not leave Benjamin's and I think they were having a macho staring contest.
Sighing I said to Angelo, "I've only met him earlier today, relax."
Benjamin only chuckled amused at Angelo and crossed his arms over his chest when Angelo looked down at me breaking the mini staring contest they were having. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't know I had to," I said a bit surprised when I heard his question sounded more accusing than puzzled.
"You do."
"Do I now?" I raised both eyebrows at him and he only narrowed his eyes at me. Who did he think he was? I didn't realize he needed to know everything that went into my life so detailed.
"Who are you, by the way, I never really got to introduce myself," Benjamin spoke to Angelo who left my side to walk over to him with long powerful strides. Angelo was still half naked but it worked on his side since you could see the bulging muscles that would intimate anyone.
"I'm Alpha Russell and you are?" Angelo reached out his hand towards Benjamin who took it without hesitation. I could tell they both gripped each other’s hand hard as they could when they shook hands, it took a few seconds before the broke apart. Another macho thing I presume was going on.
"Alpha Redwood recently moved into space between your land and Mr. Harris." Benjamin flashed him a smile but Angelo's face stayed neutral. Those handsome eyebrows of his were set straight.
"Is that so..." Angelo said cutting out and becoming silent still staring at him.
"Well, I'm going to go ahead and take my leave. Oh, by the way, I came because your father called me over to talk about the trespassing of land which you didn't tell him about... I was just passing by your room on the way to say hello, that's all." Benjamin said before walking out and not even closing the door after himself.
With that, he left me, Angelo and an electrical charge in the air that could burst into flames any second. I wonder if that was his intention. Nah, don't think so, he would have been more smooth about it.
There were moments of silence before I looked back up at Angelo who was staring intensely at me with his beautiful grey eyes of his.
"What?" I asked him, almost daring him to bring the topic up. Angelo growled lowly in his throat as a warning. I'm guessing he doesn't like the tone I used. Too effing bad.
"What was that all about?" He asked taking some imitating steps closer to me.
"I don't know what you mean," I spoke innocently all the while I was watching his every move like a hawk.
"I don't want you to meet other guys without me there," Angelo said and I clenched my jaw. Where did this come from? When can he tell me what to do?
Standing up straighter so we were eye to eye I said, "I could do whatever I please, I'm not marked yet."
Okay, bad thing to say but I couldn’t take it back now. Angelo's eyes flashed pitch black as a sign he lost control.
"Oh really?" The look in his eyes made me take a step back but he just ended up taking another one forward. I turned around ready to run to the side but he pressed me against the wall so fast that I didn't notice he grabbed my hands until he was holding them above my head. My back was pressed against his hard chest and he caged me in from behind. Uncontrollably my body heat went up a few notches.
He was dominating and to be honest it was a turn on. I liked feeling his body pressed up against me, my lower abdomen was throbbing and my mouth went dry with desire at what he was going to do next. Angelo let go of my hands and I could have moved them but I couldn't exactly think to do anything right now since my mind was a complete mess. His hands slid down my body, leaving hot pools of heat wherever he touched.
"I want to hear you say it," Angelo whispered huskily into my ear. My breathing was coming in fast and I tried to find my voice.
"Say what?" It came out raspy so I cleared my throat feeling it dry.
"That you're mine." He pressed himself against me from behind causing me to crease my eyebrows together to hold back a moan. I wanted to say it but didn't want to give him the satisfaction yet.
"No," I said shaking my head as my lower lip quivered. I knew he wasn't used to hearing the word no, but I didn't know it would affect him like this. He grabbed a hold of my hair and pulled gently my head to the side with it so he could have access to my neck. The fact that he was using my weak spot against me made not want to give in even more. I liked when he made waves of passion ride my body but my lips were tightly pressed together.
"Come on," His husky voice made heat pool between thighs and I was about to say it but stopped myself.
"No."
Angelo snipped my weak spot one more time before stepping away. "If I didn't get called to join the meeting with Redwood, you would have cracked. Let's leave this for another time, I will get you to say it."
I ended up saying, "I highly doubt that would have happened," but he was right. How long would I be able to last next time? I needed to be careful around him I tend to lose my control quick.
