The Alpha's Companion

Chapter 52 - Say You're Mine

To her surprise, Lacey was in the Pack Infirmary longer than she would have thought but was able to leave after three days. Dr. Lonan Silva, the Harvest Moon Pack doctor, gave her strict orders not to train or work out for at least a few days. Since wolves heal so quickly, they couldn't put a cast on her leg, after being set, it had healed enough to go back to their suite.

Lacey had sensed that things had changed between them, but she wasn't sure to what extent. But as long as they were getting along with one another, that was enough... for now. She still couldn't forget their wedding night... and the wonders he had shown her. But then again, they had to take it easy until her leg was fully healed.

"Ready, My Queen?" Julien teased, standing over her.

Lacey laughed. "You're going to spoil me calling me that, you know."

A broad, sexy grin stretched across his lips. "That, my dear, was my intention."

Then he swept her into his strong, muscular arms and carried her out of the room, away from the infirmary.

Lacey laughed. "I can walk, you know."

Julien chuckled. "I know but let me enjoy the feel of you in my arms again."

Lacey's eyebrows scrunched together, looking at him as if he had lost his mind. "Who are you and what have you done with Julien Grey?"

He started up the stairs, carrying her with ease as he walked the five flights, but he was no longer smiling.

Lacey placed a hand on the side of his face. "Julien, what's wrong?"

He shook his head, but tears were in his eyes, threatening to spill over.

"Look at me," I said, forcing him to look into my eyes just before we reached his room. He stood in the hallway and looked down at her. "I can't lose you." Then he kicked the door open, carrying her over the threshold into his suite... now their suite. Then he backed up and closed the door behind him.

"Julien," she cooed, looking into his eyes. "I'm here. You're not going to lose me."

He sat on the couch, still holding her on his lap, and then gently brushed a strand of hair away from her face. "When I saw you... broken... lying on the ground...." He bit his lower lip, shaking his head, as a lone tear rolled down his cheek. "I knew at that moment, that I couldn't lose you. I love you, My Alpha Queen. At that moment, you carved your image on my heart... whether you wanted to or not."

Then his lips slammed into hers, showing her everything that his heart wanted to say but his lips couldn't, causing her heart to pound against her ribcage. Then Julien wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and gently pulled her to him. "I know you’re recovering from a broken leg, but I want to love you."

"Yes." She kissed him back with vengeance, parting her lips to give him entrance, letting her body tell him everything that was in her heart.

Then he pulled back and looked into her eyes, causing pain to rip through her heart. He lifted her skirt and she undid his pants, letting his length spring free. Then he shoved into her, and she gasped at his fullness as he looked into her eyes.

"Tell me if I hurt you," he whispered, and all she could do was nod.

Then he pumped into her, over and again as he ran his hands over her back and then cupped her full round bottom, lifting her to him over and again so as to be easy on her leg. Then he said something she never expected to hear. "Say that you're mine."

"I'm yours," she breathed, surrendering to him as his length filled her.

"Tell me that no other man will ever have you," he growled between pulls.

Her breath quickened and all she could see, or feel, was him. "No. Only you."

He nipped her breast, leaving his mark as his wolf claimed hers, causing her to pant. "Then come for me," he ordered, and she obeyed his command.

"I love you." Her orgasm ripped through her, sending sensations throughout her body like never before. He was the hottest man she'd ever laid eyes on, let alone made love to, and she knew she would never want anyone but him. She was his claimed as his mate… forever.

Having watched her come, he bit his lower lip, looking at her with so much love that she thought her heart would burst receiving it. Then he slammed his lips against hers and moaned his orgasm into her mouth, filling her to completion. Finally, his pulls slowed and then he gripped her hair hard and looked into her eyes, as if ingraining this memory into her brain forever. "I love you, too." Then he leaned his head against hers as his breathing slowed.

Then he lifted her into his arms and carried her easily to his bed, where she would stay.... not only for the night, but for the rest of her life.
