The Alpha's Slave Mate

Chapter 25

Chapter Twenty-Five

Daphne's Point of View

The first thing I noticed when I woke up was a strange arm around me. My breath froze in my lungs, I refused to move until I could piece together what was going on. Then yesterday came flooding back to me Everything all at once, being sold, learning that Caleb thinks I am his mate, going to the ball, and then breaking down in front of Caleb. Remembering the last part of the night makes my face flame in embarrassment.

Turning my head slightly I can see that it is Caleb’s arm around me, and he is still asleep. Taking advantage of the moment, I watch the steady rise and fall of his chest. His face is so relaxed he almost appears boyish. Caleb was truly a gentleman; he had tucked me into the bed under the covers and he slept on top of the covers. I appreciate his thoughtfulness.

A few stray hairs have fallen over his forehead, and I have the strange want to brush them away from his face. He is sleeping on his side with his legs slightly bent, and one hand under his head. Caleb is downright sexy when he is awake but seeing him so vulnerable when he is sleeping is adorable. His arm around my waist feels natural and I really want to snuggle in deeper to him, but I resist the urge.

I wonder if it is true that Caleb is my mate. I wonder if that is why Iam having all these new feelings and emotions. I wish Scarlet were here so that I could ask her. It is frustrating that Caleb is so sure that I am his mate and I have no idea if he is mine.

I take a deep breath and do an honest analysis of my own feelings. I know that I feel a physical pull towards Caleb.

I know that he is the one man that I have been near that has made my nipples hard. I know that I am grateful to him for making me a part of his pack and providing a way for me to leave my parents. I know that I find his scent intoxicating, and if I could I would bottle it up as a perfume. I like that he is kind and understanding. I know that I feel safe when I am with him. °

Safe, now there is a word that I have not used very often in my life. I know that Scarlet loved me, or at least cared about me. She was kind and helpful and found ways to make my life better, but I can not say that she made me feel safe. Caleb makes me feel safe, like nothing bad can happen while I am with him. The burning question in my mind stays the same though, is he really my mate?

Would the Moon Goddess really pair such a powerful Alpha, with a slave girl? I would imagine that the Moon Goddess would have paired him with someone like Scarlet, or Heather. Just thinking Heather’s name brings back the rage I felt when she tried to touch him.

“Why are you scowling so early?” Caleb’s husky voice brings me back to the present. My face flushes red with embarrassment as I look over and see he has opened his eyes and is staring at me. -

“I was not scowling, I was thinking.” I tell him in the best no nonsense voice I can muster. Caleb just chuckles and pulls me closer into his chest. I can hear his heart beating steadily. I inhale deeply enjoying being this close to him. My wolf is purring.

Caleb shifts more onto his back and wraps his arm around my shoulders pulling my head onto his chest. I can feel his muscles under his shirt and admire that he is so physically fit. Ican feel Caleb bend his head and kiss the top of my head. I wish time could freeze right now, that we can stay in this moment forever.

“How much stuff do you have to pack up?” Caleb’s voice is more normal now that he is waking up more.

“I do not have much, some clothes. I would like to take my book if I can.” I look up at him questioning if I can bring it with me. I love reading and my book is just getting to the good part.

“That's it?” Caleb's brow is furrowed as he questions if that is all I am bringing with me.

“Ido not own much, but yes I would like to bring the few books I have.” Caleb is quiet for a moment, and I wonder what he is thinking. “You can bring whatever you want with you. I want to leave before noon if possible, I have a meeting with Alpha Jason this morning. We have a lot of work to get done when we get home, and I would like to set a date for our mating ceremony.” As Caleb starts talking, I can see the shift in his attitude. He is ready to get down to business.

“I don't even know if you are my mate yet.” When he mentions the mating ceremony, the words slip out of my mouth before I can even stop them. My words cause Caleb to spring into action, in one quick motion Caleb pulls the cover back and flips over to where he is on top of me and I am looking up at him. Although his actions startled me, Iam still not afraid of him. I still feel safe when I am with him. Caleb lowers his face and captures my lips in a kiss. Like last night he is gentle. Without even thinking about it I wrap my arms around his neck pulling him in deeper.

As the pressure of his mouth on mine increases I open my mouth and out tongues dance together again. My nipples are pointy and presses against the tee-shirt. Iam not wearing a bra so! know that Caleb can feel them pressed against his chest. My heart is racing, and I can not catch my breath as I drown in the amazing feeling of Caleb’s mouth. °

As we continue kissing, I feel wetness on my thighs again. I part my legs slightly and Caleb takes that as an invitation. Caleb moves from straddling my legs to being in between them. Not once has he taken his lips from mine. I can not stop myself from moaning into his mouth. Caleb presses his body down between my thighs, and I can feel that our kissing is affecting him too. My body is aching for more. I want him closer, no I need him closer. '

I press my thighs upward, needing this ache to go away. Caleb moans and finally releases my lips and starts kissing my neck. There is a fire inside of me, an inferno that he ignited. Again, I press upwards into him and Caleb groans again as if he is experiencing the same agony. He brings his hand down to my breast and gives my nipple a slight squeeze. The feel of his hand through the shirt is pure torture. '

I yelp as Caleb shifts again, and rapidly rolls us to where I am now on top of him, and he is laying flat on his back. I pull back to question him about it but a sIsit up a little, I find that the pressure of his bulge against my lower lips is pure ecstasy. Caleb’s moan is all it takes for me to be a bit bolder with my movements. I rock my hips back and forth slowly, savoring the feel of him beneath me and hating the clothes we are both wearing. Caleb’s hand finds its way under my shirt. My breast fits into his palm, and the warmth of his hands makes me moan out load again. °

“Caleb please” I don’t know what I am asking him for, but the fire is burning too hot inside me. I feel like Iam going to shoot off into a thousand sparklers.” “Say you are mine.” Caleb demands as he pinches my nipple softly rolling the bud between his fingers.

“I but I” I can not think, I can not speak. All I know is that I need this fire to go away.

“Say your mine.” Caleb demands again as he kisses up my neck and nipples on my earlobe. °

“Tum I am yours.” I barely get the words out.

Caleb rolls us back over and I am under him again. “Do you trust me?” His eyes are dancing as he asks me looking down. I can not speak soI just shake my head yes. Caleb pulls my underwear down and Kisses my lips. He kisses down my neck, as he is pulling the tee shirt up. He places kisses along my stomach, trailing down to my thighs. Then he kisses the one spot that no one has ever touched. I start to protest but the words do not even come out of my mouth because he begins licking me like I am the best ice cream he has ever tasted. My world explodes at the sensation. Caleb wraps his hands around my thighs so that I can not pull away from him. The fire inside of me is raging and threatening to consume my whole body, I want to tell him, but I can only moan out loud as he continues sliding his tongue in circles. 7

My body acts on its own accord, twitching and withering under the assault of his tongue. The fire is out of control, and I feel Caleb slip a finger into my sopping wet channel. Its enough for me to shatter. My body tenses up, I am barely aware of the sounds I am making. I feel like lam glass that has just shattered but Iam not falling to the floor instead its like l am floating on clouds. -

Caleb holds me tight as I finally come back to normal. “You taste so sweet.” My face flushes red at his words. I do not fully understand what just happened, but I know that I liked it.

“Caleb what was that?” I hate that I must ask him, but I want to know.

“That was part of being a mate. You said that you did not know if I was your mate, and I wanted to show you that there was no possible way that I was not your mate. I did not intend for it to go so far, but I could not keep my hands off you. You are mine Daphne, as I am yours. I will spend all of eternity proving it to you if I must.” Caleb’s face is very serious as he says this.

“I have never felt anything like that in my life. It was like I was on fire, but it was not a bad fire. I could not even think straight, and at the end it was like my body shattered but I am still here.” I knew that I was talking fast, but I did not know how to explain what I was feeling. Caleb’s face turned red as he explained that what I felt was called an orgasm. ° Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Caleb got out of the bed and told me to go ahead and take a shower first. He reminded me that he has to meet with my father.

“I will have Hannah come and help you pack up your things. I can not wait to show you home.” Caleb’s face breaks out into a dazzling smile as he mentions his home. I can tell that he takes a lot of pride in his home.

I find my old clothes that I changed out of yesterday before the ball, and head into the bathroom. My legs are a little wobbly from earlier, but I like the feeling. Maybe Caleb really is my mate.
