The scent of Talia’s arousal hit Dayson hard.
Only now, with Talia in his embrace, with her scent and her flavors seeping into him, Dayson fully understood how perfect she was for him. No woman will ever compare to Talia.
Dayson let out a low groan from the back of his throat and he couldn’t bring her close enough.
He was starving for the fragile woman who was kissing him back with all her might, but instead of getting sated, his hunger was only increasing more. Will he be able to step on the brakes and not rush into things?
Through the haze of his need, Dayson could feel Talia’s emotions. They were pure, unspoiled, and he wondered if he was worthy of something so delicate he could only describe as ethereal because Talia was too perfect for this world.
Dayson regretted that he didn’t save himself for her. What was the point of numerous women he embraced, when they only brought him empty pleasure that dissipated the moment he got his release?
But maybe he needed all those women in his life in order to understand how special Talia is.
With the taste of Talia, Dayson confirmed without a doubt that no other woman will ever be enough. It’s only Talia. His mate. It will always be only her and no one else.
…
…
Dayson laid on the bed while cradling sleeping Talia in his arms.
His lips were stretched into a smile that was impossible to erase.
Dayson was grateful for the strengthened mate bond because it allowed him to sense Talia’s emotions clearly. Peace. Happiness. Belonging.
Dayson wanted to ask his wolf if this clarity is because their bond is stronger or because they are so close physically, but his wolf was contently snoozing at the back of his mind and refusing to answer Dayson’s summons.
With nothing else to do and too excited to sleep, Dayson reflected on the turbulence this day brought him.
During the games in the morning, Dayson was helpless while watching other guys getting close to Talia to hold her hand. And then he felt pride when she got called out as the MVP of the tournament; happy about sharing ramen with her, anxious to be late due to the meeting that dragged, enraged when he saw Keith getting close to her, sad while she cried in his arms, joy when he won a toy for her, awe as he watched her dance around the bonfire, worry when he couldn’t find her, and then peace and belonging when they reunited… and it all culminated with the kiss that opened his mind to another dimension where colors are brighter and the world revolves around Talia.
Everything related to Talia was mind-blowing and he couldn’t wait to see what the next level will bring.
Dayson really wanted to kiss her again, but he didn’t want to wake her up, so he held that urge back.
Dayson remembered the moment when Talia’s dainty fingers fisted his hair while pulling him closer, and she let out the sweetest moan ever into his mouth. At that time, Dayson feared that he won’t be able to control his hands from exploring her body, and there was another part of him that was hard and ready and eager to explore Talia’s depths. But he didn’t want to go there. Not tonight.
They made amazing progress and Talia opened up to him wonderfully, and he reminded himself not to rush.
Talia’s long sigh pulled Dayson out of his thoughts, confirming that she was finally in deep sleep.
Dayson’s eyes moved to the edge of the bed where two plush toys were resting. He moved his leg carefully and after one swift flick of his foot, Cinna was on the floor.
Dayson smirked victoriously while settling back next to Talia.
There was no way Dayson would allow anything Keith-related on his bed with Talia!
Dayson thought about getting a similar toy and replacing this one, but it was not about the toy, it was about its importance. He didn’t want Keith’s spirit to hover around Talia and Talia said it clearly, this was the first toy she ever got, and Dayson knew that it was precious.
Dayson had a sour taste because he missed getting Talia her first toy. That was supposed to be him, and not Keith, damn it!
If he was not stuck in that stupid meeting, he would be with Talia and he would get her many toys.
Just thinking about Cinna made Dayson’s insides churn. Was Talia’s dazzling smile directed at Keith when he gave her the plush toy? Probably. That image can be erased only with the elimination of that toy, and Keith. Well, dealing with Keith will be easy for Dayson, but what about the toy?
He still didn’t figure out how to get rid of that mutt without alarming Talia, but he will come up with something. Soon.
Dayson returned his attention to Talia.
He observed Talia’s face in silence while relishing the fact that their hearts beat as one. She really was his other half, the half he didn’t realize he was missing until now, and he will be damned if he allows Alpha Richard or Cassie or Elder Parker or anyone else to jeopardize this piece of Heaven he found.
Dayson woke up, pleased to see that Talia was sleeping soundly with her head on his shoulder.
He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead and then he observed her sleeping form. No matter from which angle Dayson looked at Talia, she was perfect. Her scent, her warmth, the way her palm rested on his bare chest… everything was perfect. Perfect for him.
Another thing that made this experience several folds better was that Talia was wearing his t-shirt.
Last night, Talia wanted to go to her room and get something to sleep in, but then Dayson gave her his t-shirt which she reluctantly accepted.
He never saw a woman sexier than Talia in his t-shirt, and her bashful smile when she exited the bathroom stirred him more to devour her. Vixen.
The most seductive thing was that Talia was absolutely ignorant of how gorgeous she was.
Talia was unspoiled and Dayson was itching to introduce her to the lusty side of life. Soon.
As much as he was impatient to go all the way, Dayson enjoyed watching Talia open up slowly, with eyes full of wonder at every next step of their increased intimacy.
Dayson frowned when he noticed two plush toys at the edge of the bed. Didn’t he kick out of the Keith-related pooch last night?
If Cinna is back on the bed, does that mean Talia woke up and put her back on? Dayson would do anything for Talia, but this was not acceptable.
Just how he did last night, Dayson moved his leg carefully and one swift flick later, Cinna found herself on the floor.
Dayson smirked with satisfaction. There! Try to get on the bed one more time, and I will kick you off the balcony!
Talia stirred from her sleep and Dayson greeted her with a smile.
“Good morning, kitten.”
Talia blinked lazily. “Good morning.”
It took her a moment to realize that she was resting on Dayson’s bare chest. Didn’t he wear a t-shirt last night?
“Why are you naked?”, Talia asked while trying to distance herself from Dayson, but his strong arms held her in place.
“Do you want me to be naked so badly that you won’t acknowledge how my lower half of the body is not exposed? Should I remove the rest of my garments and fulfill your wish? Hmm?”
Talia couldn’t believe his cheekiness. Who said that she wished for him to be naked? “That’s not what I meant. The top. Where did your t-shirt go?”
“Oh, that…”, Dayson said innocently. “I remembered your desire to get used to touching me, so I removed it.”
“My desire to get used to touching you?”, Talia repeated robotically.
“Mhm”, he confirmed with a hum. “At the lake. Remember?”
Talia’s eyebrows twitched. She remembered that she ruined his shirt while crying, and then he removed it and she told him that she was uncomfortable touching him, but… how did that translate into her desire to touch him?
“I see you forgot. But that’s fine. I remembered it for you.” Dayson took her hand that was hovering above him and pushed it down until it pressed against his chest. “There. We will get you used to touch me in no time.”
