Mabel still hadn’t returned, so he went to find her in her bedroom. She stood near the window, sobbing into her hands, and he couldn’t stand it.
Rushing to her side, he pulled her into his arms.
“I’ve never known pain like this. I don’t think I can breathe.”
He cupped her face. “You can breathe. I’m here. I’m not going to let anything happen to you.” He wiped away the tears, pulling her into his arms. He couldn’t bear to see her hurting like this. Every single part of him screamed at the unfairness of what was happening to her and wished with all his heart that he could take it away.
“Make me forget, just for now. Please.”
He frowned. What did she want him to do?
She grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him down, melding their lips together. Sinking his fingers into her hair, he pulled back.
“Mabel?”
“Please, I need this. I need you. I need my mate.”
His heart filled with happiness at her confession. Slamming his lips down on hers, he ran his other hand down her back to grab her ass and to tug her closer. He didn’t want to be parted from her for even a moment.
If she needed the distraction, he was more than willing to provide it for her. He moved her back and then released her lips to bend her over the bed.
He pushed up the skirt she wore and tore at her panties. Covering her naked pussy with his hand, he slid a finger knuckle-deep inside her, hearing her whimper as he did so. In and out, he began to rock inside her. He added a second finger, stretching her out. Moving his fingers from her cunt, he touched her clit, massaging the nub between his fingers, relishing the perfect sounds she made.
When she was close, he removed his fingers and put his cock to her entrance. Slowly, he began to sink inside her, making her take more of him.
He gritted his teeth at the tightness of her.
The moment he was balls deep inside her, he returned his attention to her clit, stroking her pussy.
“Come for me,” he said, ordering her to do as he bid.
His name spilled from her lips a second later, and she came, hard. He closed his eyes, trying to think of so many different things apart from the pleasure of her pussy, or how good it felt being within her. So beautiful, so perfect.
Once her orgasm subsided, he gripped her hips and began to fuck her. He wasn’t gentle. He took her hard and fast, not letting up. He reached up, wrapping his fist in her hair and lifting her, tilting her head so he could claim her lips for one final kiss. Sliding his tongue into her mouth, he thrust inside her and erupted, filling her tight, hot pussy with his cum.
The kiss continued even after his orgasm ebbed away.
He stroked her cheek, bringing the kiss to an end.
“Thank you,” she said.
“I’d do anything for you, Mabel. All you’ve got to do is say the word.”
She opened her mouth, closed it. “Don’t … please, don’t give up on me.”
He frowned. “I would never give up on you.”
“I know I can be difficult at times.”
He kissed her again. “Don’t worry about it. I like that you’re difficult.”
She chuckled. “I doubt that.”
“Mabel,” he said, licking his lips. “I love everything about you. I know you’re going to find this hard to believe because of everything that we’ve been through, but I’m not lying to you. I’m in love with you, and have been for some time. I just didn’t realize it.”
She put her finger over his lips. “No, not now. Not, please, I know this sounds like I’m being mean, but not while my father might die.”
He nodded his head.
She pressed her head to his. “I think I’m falling for you too.”
It wasn’t much, but for Lucas, at that moment, it was more than enough.
Chapter Ten
The next two weeks it seemed all hope was lost until against all odds, her father began to heal. What was once broken started to mend. He hadn’t woken up, but finally, in week three, she sat there as her mother had gone to get a coffee to him opening his eyes, and saying, “Fuck me, that tree was huge.”
Getting up from her seat beside his bed, she laughed. “Daddy?”
“Mabel, honey, what are you doing here?”
She took his hand. “The Alpha came to pick me up. You were seriously ill. People thought you were going to die.” She sniffled.
“Oh,” he said. “Did those two boys—”
“Don’t think about them right now. They’re not important.”
“Sweetheart, I need to know that those two boys didn’t hurt each other.” Her father gripped her hand tightly.
“It’s a goddamn miracle,” Duke said, entering the bedroom.
She turned toward Lucas and smiled.
Her father let go of her hand as he shook Duke’s hand.
