Chapter 23


    ~Lincoln~


    I walk to the sitting room and plop down on the couch. I lean forward with my elbows on my knees and


    my head in my hands. I don’t have the energy for this right now. I really just want to find my mate and


    snuggle up to her. She has been through an ordeal, and I just want some time with her where she isn’t


    trying to fight for her life or heal from injuries.


    The couch dips next to me, and I can feel Aida’s body heat next to me. I feel her hand on my thigh, but


    I push it away. I sit up and lean my head back on the back of the couch. “You have five minutes, Aida. I


    suggest you don’t waste it.” I can feel Aida’s upper body closer to mine, and I figure she has leaned


    back close to me.


    “I….I miss you, Lincoln. I know you miss me too. We had a good thing and I know you are just


    appeasing Landon by epting Portia.” I sigh internally. I knew this would be bad, but experiencing it is


    something else. “You know I love you and I know you love me too. Don’t fight it……we are meant to


    be.” This is ridiculous, I swear.


    “Aida, you have to stop.” I sit up and scoot away from her so I can look at her. “Yes we have had


    something since high school and at one point, I nned to make you my chosen. I know that I said that


    I didn’t want my fated, but that was never really true. I’ve always wanted my fated mate, I was just


    scared.” Aida opens her mouth like she wants to speak, but I shake my head to stop her. I get a


    mindlink before I can respond.


    Linc, you had better finish up with Aida. Tia needs you right now. I need to wrap this up and get to


    mate.


    “I need you to hear me right now. I….I never fell in love with you, not like you were with me. I always


    thought that I’d fall for you one day. I…..I’m sorry, but it’s true.” The tears are building in her eyes. “I’ve


    found my fated mate and…..and I want her. I want her more than I want to be the Alpha of this pack. I


    know that hurts you, especially since she is your sister, but that wasn’t my doing. The Goddess has


    paired your sister with my brother, and me and I’m thankful.” I stand up and take a few steps away from


    the couch. “I’m truly sorry, Aida, but this is just how things are.” Aida starts to sob behind me, but I find


    the strength not to look back. I continue out of the room and up the stairs.


    It doesn’t take me long to reach Landon’s room. When I open the door, I see Tia on the bed, asleep.


    Landon is next to her, stroking her hand. They aren’t cuddled up together, and I hope that isn’t a bad


    sign. Landon looks at me as I walk closer to the bed. He gives me a look of frustration which makes my


    stomach turn.


    You smell like Aida.


    She was sitting next to me on the couch. What’s wrong with Tia? You said she needed me. I start to


    take my clothes off and grab some of Landon’s to change into. I don’t want to smell too much like Aida.


    Landon gets up from the bed and stops in front of me. He puts a hand on my shoulder and walks out of


    the room. I’m not quite sure how I should feel; Landon is acting weirdly.


    I sit on the bed next to Tia’s head and just look at her face. I love watching her sleep. She looks so


    peaceful and sweet. I reach out and stroke her cheek, the sparks erupting between us. Tia moves a bit


    and moans. I swear I love every sound that she makes. She squirms some more and opens her eyes,


    her light brown eyes staring into mine. I smile at her, but she doesn’t return it. Oh s**t! What’s wrong?


    “Hey, beautiful.”


    “You were with my sister.” The way she says this is more of an usation than just making a


    statement. I hope she didn’t read anything into me talking to Aida.


    “Uh, yeah. She asked me for five minutes.” Tia closes her eyes and sighs while moving her face away


    from my hand. This is really not looking good.


    “First you let her hang all over you in the kitchen and then you go off alone with her.” WTF?! I never


    expected this attitude from Tia. I wonder where it’sing from. She has to know that she is the only


    woman I care about.


    “You saw me try to get Aida off of me. What is all of this about?” Tia sits up and res at me. It’s like a


    light switch was flipped, going from quiet to angry instantly.


    “You tried to get her off of you?” Tia gets up from the bed and starts to pace back and forth. “Ok, you


    made ame attempt to get her hands off of you, but did you actually make her leave? Did you actually


    stop her or Ad from starting their mess. You are one of the future Alphas, yet you let them do


    whatever they wanted to.” I can see the anger build in Tia; it is all over her face. I would never have


    thought she’d be this upset. “Then, on top of everything, you go off alone with my sister. Why am I


    here, Lincoln? Why tell me that I need toe here for my safety, yet you let my sisters and your


    mother do whatever the hell they want to around here? At what point will they try, and seed, in


    destroying me?” The tears that were gathering while she was talking have now started to fall down her


    face.


    She’s right, you know.


    What do you mean, Brutus?


    You and Landon didn’t do much to keep what happened today from happening. Those three feel they


    can do whatever, and that’s what they are doing. How can we keep Tia safe like that and make her feel


    at home?


    I didn’t think of things like that. I, honestly, wasn’t thinking about how we got to the point where it seems


    to be okay to cause a scene like that in the kitchen. Tia has stopped pacing and is looking out the


    sliding door window. She has her arms across her chest, and the tears have stopped falling. Landon


    and I screwed up big time, and we need to make sure something like this is able to happen again.


    I get up and walk around the bed until I’m behind Tia. I ce my hands on her hips and lean down to


    let my lips softly touch her neck. I can feel the shudder that goes through Tia’s body at my touch.


    “You’re right. We screwed up. We should have made sure that everyone understands that any type of


    disrespect or foul word against you will not be tolerated for even a second.” I kiss Tia’s neck a few more


    times before turning her around in my arms to face each other. “I swear to you that I will do better and


    that you are the only woman I want in my life.”


    I slowly lean into Tia until our lips touch. The sparks that ur are enough to make me hard as a rock.


    I continue to kiss Tia softly, our tongues ying with each other. Tia moans in my mouth, making me


    growl. I swear I love every sound that she makes. I run my hands down her back and grip her a*s


    tightly, pulling her into me. We both have too many clothes on. I pick her up by her a*s, and she wraps


    her legs around my body. I take a few steps to the bed and softly drop her on it. I’m hovering over Tia


    instantly, putting my lips back on her. This time the kiss is much more passionate; I want to drink her


    up.


    Tia starts to move her hands under my shirt, wing and gripping my back and arms. I ce myself at


    her core and start to grind against her, the friction enough to make mebust. I want to taste her


    again. I want her to taste me again, but above all of that, I need to be inside of her. I feel like if I don’t


    get to feel her soon, I will die a slow death.


    Tia must have been reading my mind because she starts to pull my shirt up. I sit up from her and


    quickly pull it over my head. I lean back down, cing my lips all over Tia’s neck, each point of contact


    causing her to moan and squirm. I don’t think I have ever been this hard in my life, and a part of me


    worries that I may burst a blood vessel or something.


    I extend a w and run it along the seams of Tia’s shirt and shorts. In the future, I want to be suaver


    about things, but I just can’t wait that long today. Her clothes fall away from her body. I sit up to take a


    look at what’s in front of me, and I swear my breath left my body. Tia is exquisite, and I’m so thankful


    she is mine. Without me noticing, Tia has wed away my pants, and we are both naked. “I want to


    cherish every bit of you, but…….” Tia ces a finger on my lips and smiles sweetly.


    “If aren’t inside of me soon, I’m going tobust.” I chuckle, loving that she needs me every bit as


    much as I need her. I help Tia scoot up a bit, and I position myself on top of her at her entrance. I look


    into Tia’s eyes, looking for anything that would tell me she may have changed her mind. I didn’t see


    anything that would tell me that, so I grab my length and put it right at her entrance. I let my hand glide


    it in, and I swear I wanted to c*m immediately at the sensation. The warmth and wetness are almost


    overwhelming, but I don’t want to be known as a one-minute brother.


    I push myself all the way into Tia and watch her eyes start to roll back. Mine did the same at the


    sensation of being inside of her. I never knew anything could feel like this. I slowly start to move in and


    out of Tia, her wing at my arms while I go. I pick up my pace some, gliding in and out of her. I never


    realized this could feel so damn good. “Harder…..faster,” Tia moans under me. I can’t do anything but


    oblige her. I start to hit into her harder and harder, making sure I pick up my pace as I pound her. In and


    out…..again and again……the sensation of being in my mate is everything. “Fuuuuuuu……..” Tia


    screams out, and her walls tighten around my shaft. I feel like Tia’s choking my length, and I love it. I


    pump a few more times and cry out her name when I empty myself inside of her.


    We are both breathing heavily as I remove myself from inside Tia andy down next to her. I just lost


    my v*******y. I just lost my v*******y to my mate. I feel like a brand new man, and I can’t wait until we


    can do that again.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
