My Human Mate novel Chapter 70

Michael nodded at her and when Maddie turned and gave me a quick wink, I took it as my queue to Michael's side again. At a quick jog I reached the cell and instantly Michael's soothing tough was at my hand, holding and caressing it whilst looking at me with a smile. I smiled back and turned to nod my thanks to Maddie who was hugging Reece's arm and watching our interaction with a proud smile on her face.

As soon as we touched Michael's growls stopped and I think that's what had Reece stumped. Slowly the two walked out and as soon as I heard the two bolts on the door slide in place, I unlocked the cell and went straight into Michael's arms

Progress is slow. Very slow. Michael is taking quite a long time to tame his wolf, and if I'm being honest it's starting to worry me. Tonight marks the eleventh night of sleeping in the cell with Michael and my back is starting to protest even more. Lying on the thin uncomfortable mattresses make my body scream in protest, but the fact that Michael is right next to me makes it bearable.

The past eleven days we have been bonding. Relearning all the little things like what our favourite colours are, favourite food, what we like to do in down time and what we thing the strangest word is. Practically every topic we have talked about and the bond between us keeps growing and growing.

Of course the self-doubt is still there, all the reasons why I rejected him were in the back of my mind but every minute I spend with him are just a reminder of how stupid I was to make such a rash decision. Michael is sweet, kind, loving, gentle, playful and much more. Or at least around me.

Any time it's just the two of us, everything is perfect. Its complete bliss. But as soon as another person enters the room, Michael's wolf instantly surfaces completely and his eyes glow bright red. His always tense and ready to pounce at any given moment at anyone but me and that's what worries me. It's like his wolf is shook up with everyone apart from with me.

"We need better mattresses down here." Michael told me. It's about 5:30pm and we were lounging around. I shifted my weight to get into a comfortable position. Michael frowned as I took a minute to adjust how I was sitting.

"I can't believe I'm going to say this," he muttered to himself. I frowned in question but kept quiet as I waited for him to talk. "Go to my house for tonight. Use my bed, get a good sleep and be relaxed." He said.

"No, it's alright." I assured him and placed a hand on his shoulder while smiling. "You make it tolerable." I said in a teasing tone. He looked up and locked eyes with me, a breath taking smile taking over his handsome face.

Slowly he leaned in and placed a small, delicate kiss on my lips. It only lasted for half a second but it was enough to take my breath away and to send my stomach into a raging butterfly storm.

"Go." He practically commanded even though his voice sounded hesitant. I don't blame him, I wanted to stay by his side more then he wants to be near me.

We can still talk, he smirked at me as I jumped slightly when I heard his voice but didn't see his lips move.

"I don't know how to mind talk, link thing. I've never tired it before." I muttered and felt my cheeks light slightly pink.

I felt like laughing at his random perverted comment but the lust I detected in his eyes made me keep my mouth quiet. Slowly he rose to rest on his elbows, only about six inches from my face. "One night soon I promise you, when we mate you are going to be on top."

Still I couldn't find an answer to what he was talking about. "Telling me what to do, making me focus on pleasuring you before I get even the slightest bit of pleasure for myself."

His dirty words made my mouth dry slightly, and I gulped hating to admit to myself that doing what he was suggesting could be fun if I had the guts to pull it off. Raising up more so we were only an inch apart he kissed my inner cheek, placing it right on the corner of my mouth. "Tease me, make me do everything you say." He huskily whispered while trailing kisses down my collarbone and to my mark on my neck.

"Drive me fucking insane." His voice rasped as he kissed lightly over my mark. I bit my lip and closed my eyes as small lightning bolts ejected from where his lips were making contact. I felt him smile against my skin, loving the effect he had on my body. "Alana Smith, you will be the death of me." He huskily said then planted his lips on mine.

The firm, deep kiss had me immediately responding to him, my hand trailing into his hair, lightly pulling and tugging on it. A groan escaped Michael as I pulled slightly harder at his hair and my lips left his as I looked at the beautiful mess practically underneath me.

Rolling me over swiftly, pinning my hands up above my head and I stared into his deep brown eyes filled with lust and huger. "But let's do it my way first." And with that, his lips were back on mine.
