Chapter 290 - SIDE STORIES BOOK 1- DAVID AND RAWLYNNE CHAPTER 4
~~
Rawlynne
~~
My heart was still pounding. I had just had a man walk into the house I was staying in. A man I had never seen before but had an instant connection with. He was my mate. How was this happening?
He was a very good looking man though. He was about six feet three inches tall with jet black hair and eyes so light green that they looked like jewels. His face was full of perfect lines, an angular jaw, perfect cheekbones. He was a handsome man, that was for sure. And the body that he was hiding beneath those clothes of his, I could tell that he worked out a lot. He was a warrior in the pack, most likely a guard since he was so capable. He was a drool worthy sight and I felt myself react instantly.
It was too soon for me to have a mate. It was too soon for me to put my career on the back burner because fate told me this man and I were meant for each other.
But I couldn't deny that I was instantly drawn to him. I felt the wolf inside of me begging to be let free. Begging me to run to him and hold him tight. My wolf was apparently a horny bitch.
The man came in and we both looked at each other like our worlds had just been completed. I was stunned, awestruck, as he started to walk closer and closer to me. I wasn't paying as much attention to what was going on around me, my attention was almost fully on that man.
I was backing away from him as he walked closer and closer to me. Already this man was talking about fate and destiny. When he was right in front of me he asked me my name.
"What's your name?"
"No." I shook my head.
"Her name is Rawlynne Otsana, David, didn't you hear us talking earlier?" Reece told him in my stead.
"Rawlynne." The man named David smiled at me. "I'm sorry, I stopped hearing anything for a little bit earlier. My dreams have all come true after all."
"Stop saying that." I yelled at him as he came closer.
"Rawlynne."
"Don't. Don't say my name."
"But it's so beautiful. And you smell so wonderful. Like soft subtle flowers and sweet decadent fruits. The smell, and sight, of you is making my mouth water." David's eyes visibly darkened with desire.
"Stop, don't say anymore." I squeaked.
"That's fine by me, there's something else I'd rather do anyway."
That was when he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me to him, kissing me with a fierce passion. Goddess, but I did love a man who could take charge like this. I was so used to being the one in control that I really like the idea of a man who knew what he wanted and took it. But NO this was not the right time.
Not to mention that at that moment Jackson started to flip out. This whole situation was really taking its toll on him. He seemed to be having a really hard time. And it was for that specific reason that Reece decided it was only right to tell him. If Jackson was like a brother to me then he needed to know, or so Reece thought.
That's how the man closest to me found out what I really am.
We spent at least an hour maybe more with Reece explaining our world and then all of us discussing what we knew about the case. He had shared that he thought, no knew, that a warlock named Gannon Edmond was the mastermind behind these abductions.
Apparently, Trinity, Reece's mate that I met the other day, was Edmond's daughter and he was some psychopath. He was the man who had kidnapped Trinity and tried to force witch magic out of her. This was all becoming a lot more complicated than we thought.
And to top it all off, Reece would be helping us around his own work and planning for his wedding next month. Yay, so fun. Why did so much stuff have to happen all at once?
When Reece and Noah left David decided he was going to stay behind. He wanted to talk to me a little longer, without his Alpha there to interfere. But it didn't seem like Jackson was all that willing to let us talk.
"You can go now too, wolf boy." Jackson sneered at him. This surprised me since he had started to adjust by the end of the whole thing and was accepting of the others.
"Jack!" I snapped at him. "That was uncalled for. What is the matter with you?"
"I don't like him." Jack snapped back. "He thinks he can come in here and just steal my little sister away." Jack looked like a sullen child at that moment, a lost little boy who was about to be left behind.
"Jack." I smiled at him soothingly. "I'm not going anywhere. David and I are fated to be together. I hope that one day you could feel this way." I smiled at him to show that despite what I said I was still happy about meeting David. I wouldn't tell him that really, because I was still mad about fate's bad timing. Still, I could feel that pull, that attraction that was drawing me toward him.
"This is all too sudden, don't you think?" Jackson was still sulking.
"Not for a werewolf. This is how we are."
"Is it?" He looked perplexed by my words. It was like he didn't know what to do with himself with all of this going on.
"I am happy that I have met Rawlynne. And I know you two are close." David had walked closer to Jackson with a smile on his face. "I hope you and I can be friends, Jack, that we can get along and make things work out between all of us."
"That's a tall order, pal. Start by leaving and coming back next year."
"JACK!" I yelled at him.
"I'm just joking." And to prove his point Jackson was laughing like a child, the way he usually did. "I will give you a shot, but if you hurt her I will kill you."
At those words David grabbed both of my hands and looked into my eyes with a sense of longing and love.
"I could never hurt her. I know that I will love her fiercely, when the day comes. I already feel myself falling for her now."
"Ugh!" Jackson faked a gag. "I'm going for a walk. You two love birds get whatever this is out of your system before I get back."
He didn't say another word, Jack just turned, grabbed a coat, and left to disappear into the night. It was already late so I hope he didn't stay out there long.
"Rawlynne." David tugged on my hand, directing my attention to him. "What do you say we get to know each other." He was grinning devilishly at me. He looked like the type that was typically soft spoken and shy but was comfortable being in charge when they knew what they wanted.
"What did you have in mind?" I grinned at him, letting myself succumb to the feelings that had been struggling to get out since I had first seen him.
"I think there are many ways to get to know more about each other." He grinned as he pulled me into his arms again. "How do you want to spend our alone time?"
His arms were around me and lifting me off the floor almost instantly. He was supporting my weight with his arms as he kissed me right there in the living room. I felt his lips settle on mine, soft and strong and like something that had been missing from me for so long.
I moaned and gasped unconsciously at the feel of the kiss, allowing him to once again slide his tongue into my mouth. He kissed like a man who knew what he was doing, which was good, he would be as experienced as I was then. No need to beat around the bush.
I reveled in the kiss a little longer, enjoying the feeling of him exploring my mouth like it was the missing link, the lost piece of his soul, or just something he had been searching for for a long time. I buried my hands in his hair, grabbing two large fistfuls of the silky strands. I could feel his flat stomach and the muscles that rippled there. And more importantly I could feel the arousal he was holding for me as it grew, not so slowly, inside of his pants.
"I think we should take this back there." I pointed toward the hall as he held me against him.
"Hmm. I couldn't have chosen a better place." He kissed me again as he purred in satisfaction, already walking down the hallway.
