You Wouldn't Dare (Khaos Trilogy Book 1), стр. 41
“That was amazing,” I gasped, my body still jerking as the final tidal waves of pleasure left my body. Khaos laid me down on the soft carpet, leaning over me to cover my stomach in soft, wet kisses.
“You’re amazing,” he mumbled against my skin, causing my heart to skip a beat.
“Khaos?” I questioned, wondering what change had come over him. He climbed up my body and pressed his mouth against my own, prising my lips open with his tongue as he gave me a long, deep kiss.
“I’m sorry, Violet. This isn’t the first apology and no doubt it won’t be the last. I’m not an easy man to love, your life won’t be sunshine and rainbows every day, but please believe me when I say I’ll be honoured if you’ll stay by my side and give this a try.”
My mouth split into an ecstatic grin; he had said exactly what I wanted to hear!
“We’ll drive each other crazy, Khaos, you know this?”
“I’m counting on it,” he grinned back.
“I’ll fight you every step of the way. Your word won’t be law.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
“I--”
He cut me off with another kiss and I giggled as he groaned, “put me out of my misery. Can we give this a try?”
“I’d love to,” I whispered back.
Chapter 11
Violet
We remained on the carpet for a while, Khaos gently running his fingers up and down my spine, keeping my body pressed close to his side. I could feel his strong, steady heartbeat under my head, and my wolf was finally calm and at ease, content with being this close to her mate.
I placed a final kiss on his chest and raised my head up to look at him, “can I ask you something?” I asked hesitantly, feeling strangely shy with him, considering not even half an hour ago this same man had me begging and panting.
“Be my guest.”
He raised one of my hands, bringing his up to join it so they were palm to palm, seemingly fascinated at the huge difference in size as he compared the length of our fingers, chuckling slightly when he realised how tiny mine were against his.
“Why didn’t you want to have sex with me?” He laced his fingers through mine, planting a kiss on my forehead.
“So that’s what’s been keeping you so quiet. What strange thoughts go round your head, little one. It’s not that I didn’t want to, I want nothing more than to make you mine in every way possible. You’re just not ready.”
“But... we’re mates…”
He sighed heavily before answering me, “Violet... I’m not an easy man to be around. Despite what I said earlier, I will not force you to stay. I would like you to give us a chance, but if you want to leave and have a life away from this, I’ll understand. You remained a virgin for a reason. You could have had your pick of men a long time ago, you know the beauty you possess. I will not take that away from you, I want you to remain pure for the man you want to spend your life with - if that’s not me, then so be it.”
I remained silent; my finger drawing circles across his torso as I let his words sink in. I knew enough of Khaos to know that he was a very sexual man, yet I also knew the brutal gang rape he had suffered meant he would treat me with the utmost caution when it came to my virginity.
“I do have a favour to ask you though.” He chuckled as my body tensed next to him. “I just want you to sit in on a pack meeting - I’m sure you’ve heard the stories of what a terrible wolf I am, how violent and deadly I can be and I’m not going to deny it. No rumour is ever completely false, and though I never want to be that way around you, I won’t hide what I am. But that’s not the way I run this pack; I promise you. I know you had a horrible experience with the warriors, but they are an extremely specific set of wolves whose one purpose is to help with attacks. They are not the same as everyone here. I meant what I said to you. There are some amazing wolves who would jump at the opportunity to be your friend. They won’t avoid you because of your status here. Titles do not guarantee respect, the same way they do not instil instant fear. Your actions will be what gets you accepted here. Everyone has the same, equal chance.” He paused, and I nodded, letting him know I had been paying attention.
“The second thing is, I want you to run with me as a wolf. Let’s see the connection that the two of them have. If after that you want to leave, I’ll drive you back to your mother’s pack personally.”
“Do you promise?” I asked, although seeing this side of him, I wasn’t sure I wanted to leave anymore.
“I can’t promise I’ll be happy about it; I’ll more than likely fly off into a rage - shocking I know,” he grinned at me in an attempt to lighten the atmosphere. “But I’ll respect your wishes. Once I’ve finished knocking down every wall in this pack house, I’ll take you wherever you want to go.” I laughed out loud, planting a kiss on his cheek.
“I can’t really ask for anything more. I’ll hold you to your promises, and in return, I’ll try to be more understanding, Khaos. But know that I won’t be spoken to like shit all the time - You
