His Arrogant Human Mate novel Chapter 95

Once I stopped taking Dom's blood, he was given a rag to start wiping my skin off. A doctor from the pack arrived to help as well, her main task to remove my clothing and sterilize everything before the blood sealed bacteria inside. The whole time, Dominic wouldn't shut up about how much he loved me.

"I love you too, dickwad, now shut up cos I've got a headache," I snapped, patting his cheek with my hand.

He caught my hand in his and kissed my palm, sighing deeply as he inhaled my scent. "I knew you loved me as soon as I saw you preparing to step in for me," Dominic hummed. "But I am so happy to hear it."

"Dom, what did I just say? Yesterday I had my head cracked open on a porcelain sink and today a werewolf threw me to the ground head-first. My head will explode if you keep talking." In reality, I was just embarrassed that I had told him I loved him back outloud. Somewhere deep in my being, I knew I had the same feelings for him, but I was still holding onto that stubbornness and that fear of possible rejection down the line.

"I love you, sugar."

One Week Into the Future

I felt him before I heard him. My hair hanging on the side of my neck was brushed away as Dominic leaned down to kiss his mark, his stubble then rubbing against it. I bit my lip to hide the giggle that was begging to burst out, trying to push him away as his arms caged me against the sink.

"Tonight?" he hummed.

"I don't know, Dom. I don't think you're supposed to plan these things out."

Plus, I was nervous. So nervous that I kept pushing it off and pushing it off. Even just talking about it made me clam up. Poor Dominic was completely ready and he felt that I was ready. But I was split in two. My brave side said, "hell yeah, let's do it!" while my other half wanted to run and hide. It wasn't really fair to Dom, since I kept saying another day. It felt like I was leading him on.

"Is that in the rule book?" He quizzed.

I shrugged, continuing to finish cleaning the dishes in the sink, even though Dominic's mouth and teeth were making it difficult to concentrate on anything else. "I just don't want to rush anything," I said. "I want it to be natural."

"What is more natural than-"

"I will tell you when I'm ready. If it's tonight, then great. If not, I'm asking you to be patient with me."

His lips moved to kiss the skin in front of my ear. "I know, sugar, I know. But it's okay to be scared. It's normal for a first timer."

"Pffft, scared? Me?" I lied. "I'm not scared."

Dominic chuckled. "Sweetheart, you aren't protecting your thoughts." I blushed, now washing vigorously at the plate in my hands. "I get it. I totally get it, Cara. It's hard to be vulnerable and that's just about as vulnerable as a person can get. But it's me, and you know I would do everything to make sure you're comfortable and not in pain. If there is a technique to lessen the pain, I am going to try it."

"It isn't about the pain," I insisted. "It's... Okay, fine. It is the vulnerability."

He smirked smugly, embracing me tighter. "I know. But I'll take care of you."

I turned around in his grip after wiping my hands on a nearby towel, wrapping my arms around my mate's neck. "I know."

"Then what's to be afraid of?"

"You leaving me."

Dominic was about to correct me, when I held my hand up to stop him. "No. I don't think you will choose to up and leave me. In that way, you're stuck with me now because of the Mark. But I know after this our feelings for each other will change and in my case, become much stronger. I have lost the people I love most before and I don't think I could do it again. I wouldn't survive it if someone took you away from me."

"That isn't going to happen."

I sighed sadly. "But you can't say that. Because it can happen, it does happen, and it did happen to me."
