Born Mine
Chapter 84

I was able to get changed just before Darius crossed the threshold of the house. I hated doing it because it felt like I was hiding things from him and that was the last thing I wanted to do but I couldn't think of how to tell him I had seen Brandon without him getting pissed about it. When he got back, he looked tired and like he just wanted to take a crash nap.

When he saw me, the corner of his lips quirked up and he made his way over, "I see you were in my office."

"I needed a new shirt, I got a drink poured all over mine."

I realized too late the wording I chose because Darius' entire body froze and he turned

to me. I wanted to take it back and say I made a mistake but I knew he would never buy it. There were too many people in the room for him to speak so he grabbed my hand and pulled me up the stairs until we were behind the safety of our room door.

"Who the hell poured a drink all over you?” he asked and I tried to wave it off but he stopped me. "If you don't tell me, I will replace out by myself and we both don't want that."

I reluctantly told him everything that had happened at work and while I spoke, he listened intently. His face did not betray any emotions but I knew for a fact that he was pissed. I made sure to add the fact that Serena punched him in the face in the hopes that it would reduce his potential anger. By the time I was done, he just stood there staring at me in complete silence.

"Please say something," I hated his silence because it always made me uneasy. There was no telling what he would do.

He walked over to me until he was standing directly in front of me and his hand stroked my cheek. At first, I thought he was calming himself but I soon realized it had nothing to do with that. He just repeated the action at least five times before finally speaking.

"Did he touch you?" he asked and I shook my head. "Did he hurt you in any way physically or otherwise?"

"He didn't physically hurt me in any way and he just called me a whore but it is nothing I haven't been called before so don't worry about it. His ego was bruised and he will never be let into the bar again. If you asked me, I would say it was a win-win situation."

"A win-win situation is one where you aren't hurt at all, this was not it," I instantly went quiet. "It will be handled, you can be rest assured of that."

He said it so calmly that it had me worrying. I opened my mouth to ask more questions but he cut me off with a kiss. It was so soft and controlled that I instantly knew I was right to worry. He was treating me like I was glass and was liable to break at any second.

"Darius," I whispered against his lips and I felt a rumble in his chest. "You don't have to hurt the guy, he was just being an asshole. A lot of people at bars are assholes."

"Maybe, but they don't get to be assholes to my woman and especially not at my bar. Over ninety percent of my patrons are wolves and they know who you are which is why they are at their best around you so I need to replace out who he is not just because he disrespected you but because he disrespected the pack and me by extension."

I still didn't completely understand the inner workings of pack mechanics but I nodded. Once he saw I was satisfied with his answer, he kissed me again and this time, the restrain he had been keeping on himself snapped. We hadn't been intimate since what happened with Freya. Sometimes I wondered if it was because he wasn't interested anymore and other times I wondered if it was because he felt guilty.

He led me down to the bed gently and I moaned when I felt the weight of his body press into mine as he climbed above me. He didn't do more than just kiss me languidly. I could spend hours kissing him and never grow bored but our bodies weren't built for that kind of stamina and I had to pull back for air. He remained above me just watching me carefully and tracing his fingers over my face.

"What are you doing?" I asked in a voice that was barely over a whisper trying to stop myself from laughing. "It tickles."

"I'm putting your features into memory. I want to be able to map out every curve of you in my sleep and every shape of you in my dreams. I want to be able to draw you from memory, I want to live and breathe you."

"That's a bit extreme, don't you think?"

"It is far less than you deserve. If you asked me to bring the sun to you, I would replace a way, Leindra. You underestimate just how much I want you- how much I need you."

I couldn't replace any words so I leaned up and kissed him and he let me. He allowed me to lead and I rolled us over until he was on his back and I settled over him. I wanted everything with this man and I didn't know why it took me so long to come to terms with it.

Darius was in no rush to regain control. If anything, he seemed to be enjoying the entire thing because he just threaded his hands through my hair and kissed me back. I pulled back from the kiss long enough to unbutton his shirt and slip it off. I moved to take off my bra next but he stopped me.

"Leave that on," he ordered and I raised a brow.

"You're not in charge here."

"Let's see how far you're willing to go in order to test that theory, Leindra."

There was a smirk on his face that told me that he was not playing games so I left the bra. I crawled off him long enough to take off my pants but he made me leave on the thong.

"Your turn," I told him and his smirk grew wider.

"I think you should do it, don't you?"

I should have known that it didn't matter whether he was on top or underneath, Darius was always in charge. As soon as my hand touched his shirt, he pulled me in for another blinding kiss that had my toes curling and my head spinning. When he pulled away, I was breathless and it took me a second to gather my bearings.

Darius seemed to be satisfied with that reaction because he undressed himself and pulled me back over him but he didn't seem in a rush to fuck me. He was hard and throbbing between my thighs and I was soaking wet but he was taking his time lathering my neck and face with kisses. I was panting and writhing above him but it didn't spur any action out of him.

"Darius," I managed out and he hummed not once pulling back from the skin directly below my collarbone that he was sucking on. "Darius, please, fuck me."

He pulled back with a pop and I knew without a doubt there would be a dark hickey on that spot. He looked up at me and then trailed his hand through my hair until he got

to the back of my neck. He held me there and lifted his lips so they were by the shell of my ear.

"I'm having a lot of fun right here," he mused. "You're on top, aren't you? If you want to be fucked then use me. I'm naked underneath you stained with your cum because your thong is a ridiculous excuse for underwear."

To drive home his point, he tugged at the waistband of my thong and let it slap back into place. The sting was a dull throb at the back of my mind.

"You're a big girl, Leindra. If you want something, you get it."

I was shocked that he was saying that and for a split second, I had to ask myself if it were really Darius. I tried to gauge for any hidden agendas but he had gone back to peppering my body with kisses and this time, he weighed my breasts in his hands and pressed a kiss to the peak. I was still wearing my bra and he made no move to remove

it.

I pulled back from him so I was out of his reach and I saw him pout. I looked down between us where surely enough, I had made a mess. I reached down and fisted him and he hissed, his hips lifting slightly. For someone who was insistent that I did what I wanted, it was very obvious that he wanted it to.

I stroked his length slowly, taking my time to make sure he was hard and I watched Darius out of the corner of my eye as I leaned down and licked him. He cursed because

he knew I was just teasing and had no intention of taking him into my mouth.

I moved to take off my thong but Darius reached forward and In one quick move, he ripped it clean off my body.

"Now stop the fucking teasing and ride me."
