My Surprise Mate

I moaned into the kiss as he carried me to the couch, sitting down with me straddling him.I had never felt the need to have someone as strong as I do now.

Dane broke the kiss, slowly trailing soft kisses down my jaw and neck, stopping where my neck meets my shoulders.

He peppered light kisses over that spot, causing me to melt into him.

I could feel my need begin to pool between my legs.

Dane pulled away, closing his eyes while he took a few deep breaths.He gently lifted me off of his lap and sat me next to him on the couch.

The sting of rejection felt like an arrow going through the center of my heart.

My body instantly craved his touch.I couldn’t believe how strongly I felt for him; it was like he was what I had always been missing in my life.

"I’m sorry, I don’t know what came over me," I apologized as I tried to stand up.

Dane's hand shot out, grabbing my wrist and pulling me to his chest.

"There is nothing to be sorry about...I just don’t want to rush this with you."

He sighed as he wrapped me in a bear hug, "but goddess, you make it almost impossible to walk away."

I smiled against his chest, letting his scent engulf me.I was nice to hear.

Dane cleared his throat, "Mom talked to the doctor, and he can see you in an hour.Just a checkup, make sure everything is okay with you and the pup."

Pup.

My heart rate picked up; did he really just say pup? He looked down at me, caressing my hair, "So, am I going to give birth to a pup?"

Dane started laughing hard, "No! We refer to our kids as pups.It will be a baby though.I’m sorry I shouldn't have said it like that."

He leaned down, kissing the top of my head.

"I need to take a shower and get ready then..."

I trailed off as I stood and made my way to the bathroom.

As I let the hot water roll down my back, I let my mind wander.

First, about Dane and how perfect he is.

Not just physically, though I doubt anyone could get a body as close to perfect as what he has, but him overall.

He’s so respectful and caring.
