Beautiful Bond Ch 9. Possessive

MARCEL.

“So, how did you find it?” I ask her once we were back on the road.

She nods, her blond locks bouncing a little. “I enjoyed myself. Everyone was

really nice.” She blushes and I raise an eyebrow.

“And a bit much at times?”

She shakes her head. “Nope, it was nice.

Your family has always been pleasant to me, even when they visited the pack.

They are genuine people.” She replies, playing with her hair.

Enter title…

“Good, but remember if there is something that bothers you, I’m always here for

you.”

She nods, blushing again and I can’t help

but smirk at that.

“So, I see you enjoy talking about fashion and you always have loved picking

out dresses. Have you ever considered it as a business venture?”

She looks at me; her face set in a thoughtful expression. “There’s not much I

can do with just having an interest in it. Leo has said it to me too, but

I don’t think I want to. I’m happy minding the kids.”

“The kids will grow up.” I point out.

“They’ll have more kids.” She states. 2

“Fair enough. I don’t really know much about fashion, but there are several

roads one can take from studying design, or simply having your own shop at the

Pack. I’m sure many she-wolves would love to have the option to shop openly

on pack grounds, rather than having to go to town. I don’t think Old Kim’s shop

is ideal

She giggles at the mention of Kim’s thrift store that has some of the most horrid

clothing I have ever come across, but I think it’s more of a pass time for Kim

than anything else.

“She has some good nick knacks if you look deeper.”

Deeper…

I shake my head, removing the explicit image that had entered my mind and

frown at my own thoughts, running a hand down my face. 1

I can’t really blame myself when she looks so tempting and has been on my

mind for the last few months. Dreams are not enough… I push the thoughts

away before I end up with a d*mn h*rd-on, and glare out at the road.

“You should still consider something for

yourself. Leo isn’t wrong, and you are still young. Either way, whether you do

decide to go for something or not, you’re perfect.” I say. Reaching over, I give

her hand a squeeze, not wanting to cross a boundary she isn’t ready for. I’m

about to when her slender fingers curl let go around mine and she holds on

gently.

I look at her, but she’s looking ahead, her cheeks a pretty hue of pink. She’s

taking steps, and I’ll take mine. I raise her hand to my lips, kissing the smooth

skin of her knuckles softly.

My wolf is restless, and he wants her as much as I do…

I ponder over what Alejandro said. Usually when people don’t have a wolf, they

can’t mind link. It was always assumed she just can’t shift, rather than not

having a wolf… however, her being able to blend in with a room full of

powerhouses was indeed intriguing, it’s not like I have marked her yet. 4

“So, you never thought about your past?

And you don’t want to find out?” I ask.

She shakes her head. “No, the letter left at the orphanage only gave a date of

birth and a name, but we assumed it wasn’t my real name, anyway.” She sighs.

“I don’t want to know.”

“That’s fair.” I reply. Our eyes meet and only because I’m driving, I’m forced to

look away from that gorgeous face.

The urge to kiss her and more consumes me… and it’s only getting harder to

ignore. Those looks she gives me don’t help.

We reach home faster than the way going, since there is less traffic now. I pull

through the gates of Leo’s Villa, and get out, before I open the door for her.

“Thanks.” She says, as she slides out gracefully.

I close the door after her, but I don’t move, “Thanks for accompanying me

tonight, it wasn’t the easiest thing to face for a first time out together… I asked

you to be my date for the night and I enjoyed your company.” I say, looking

down at her.

“I enjoyed myself, a lot… and thank you for these.” She touches her necklace

and my gaze dips to her breasts. I don’t know if she did that on purpose or not,

but it’s f*cking messing with me.

“You’re welcome… but if you continue to entice me, it will be incredibly hard to

control myself, Bellissima.” I whisper

huskily as I grip her waist, gently tugging her closer. 5

Her heart’s pounding, but she isn’t pulling away, placing her hands on my chest.

She’s holding her bag in one, but

I’m still satisfied with the fact she’s touching me instead of running.

“And if you continue to be such a gentleman, I don’t think I can stop you.” She

whispers back. Her breasts are heaving, and I slowly wrap my arms around her,

caressing her narrow waist and the curves of her hips.

Her breath hitches and I slowly look up into her eyes, eyes that are glowing that

brilliant honey topaz. A unique yet exquisite shade. They dip to my lips and I

can’t hold back any longer. I lean down, and her eyes close. For a second, as

our breath mingles, I admire her beauty, a gentle wind dances through her hair

and then I claim her lips in a deep passionate kiss. 3

A thousand sparks dance through me, like a symphony that only we can create.

Her heart thrums to the beat of this melody, that is made for just the two of

She tastes sweet and fresh, reminding me of a slice of spring. She moves her

soft lips against my own, a soft sigh escaping her, and she wraps her arms

around my neck, pressing herself fully against me.

I don’t stop, kissing her harder yet keeping it slow, wanting to feel her lips, the

way they feel, the way she tastes… Needing more, wanting to taste her forever

– To feel this… The emotions are intense, and I tangle one hand into the back of

her hair, the other holding her waist tightly as I deepen the kiss and trace her

lips with my tongue. She reacts perfectly, parting her lips and she surprises me

when her tongue flicks my own, before I capture it in my mouth, making her

moan.

I can smell her arousal and I step forward, pinning her against the car. The urge

to rip that dress off makes me pull away from her lips, trying to control myself as

I throb against her. I kiss her neck instead, breathing hard as I nibble. and suck

on the smooth skin, making her moan in pleasure.

F*ck…

“Marcel…” She whimpers. I can feel her claws digging into my back. I don’t think

she realises that she’s drawn blood and I don’t really care. It means she’s

partially shifting. I run my hand over her a*s, and she moans, tilting her head,

her lips meet my neck, and she sucks deeply, sucking hard and I know she’ll

leave a good h*ckey. 1

I bite back a groan of pleasure, my own hand squeezing her a*s, the other hand

raking up and down her back, wanting to feel every inch of her.

She continues kissing me hungrily along my neck, her tongue running along it

before she bites down on the skin, sucking hard.

“Mine.” She growls in a low whisper, and

my eyes widen when I feel her sharp teeth break the top layer of my skin, but

she suddenly jolts back, pushing me away. I almost stumble, not expecting that

much force or the push for that matter.

Her canines are out, and she’s breathing hard. She blinks and her eyes return

to normal.

“Winona…”

She places her hands over her mouth, looking guilty. “I’m so sorry… I didn’t

mean to….” She stares at my neck, horrified.

“It’s fine, there’s no-”

“I’m such a horrible person.” She whispers, and I can see the tears pooling in

her eyes. She turns and I’m about to reach for her when she shakes her head. ”

I’m ok… goodnight… I’ll see you tomorrow.”

I don’t push it, I have no clue what’s going through her mind. She stares at my

neck with shame and guilt, before she turns and runs to the door. Leaving me

standing there feeling numb, turned on and f*cking confused.

It’s the following day, and I stare down at the tickets I’ve purchased. I haven’t

asked her yet, but if she’s up for it I want to take her, otherwise, I’ll cancel my

own too. I know she won’t be home at the moment since she’s taken Corrado to

school, and so I take the chance to come to see Azura and Leo. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“So she partially shifted?” Azura asks.

Leo was in the shower when I arrived, so it’s just the two of us as I carry our

little Princess.

“Yes, she had, and then she apologised and ran.” I sigh.

She frowns. “Did she… I mean… what happened right before she ran?”

I raise an eyebrow, “We were… she was kissing my neck if you must know.” I

say with an emotionless face. Azura’s face breaks into a huge smirk and she

snaps her fingers.

“Yes!” She says before her smile faded.” She was kissing your neck and then

she just jumped back?”

“Yeah, she said ‘mine’… and then said she was a horrible person….

The mark on my neck. Did it trigger her?

I look up at Azura, and I think she’s thinking the same thought, too.

“Maybe… seeing someone else’s mark triggered her…” She muses, placing a

hand on my shoulder.

I can understand that.

“It makes sense… and then she felt guilty for thinking like that…” I sigh.

“Probably. Maybe she needs to mark you.” She suggests softly.

“Perhaps.”

She nods, and we fall silent.

Love is complicated… I glance at her when she hasn’t said anything in a while,

and I realise she’s hesitating as she fiddles with her phone.

“What’s wrong?” I ask, concerned.

“Can I… Can I take a few pictures of your mark?” I raise my eyebrow and frown,

realising she’s emotional. “For Leo… I want to create some kind of wall art with

that mark. A memory for him of his mother.” 4

Deep down, I know this is probably not the easiest thing for him, but he is willing

to accept us, no matter what that means.

I nod, “Of course.”

I place Phoenix down and open my shirt button, holding the collar down to allow

her to take a few pictures, and only when she moves back satisfied with her

images do I pick Phoenix up again. She smiles up at me, her big blue eyes

sparkling, and I give her a kiss.

She really was such a cute little one.

“You’re here early. Winona isn’t here.”

Leo states as coldly as ever as he enters, wearing only a pair of sweatpants, his

wet hair falling over his eyes.

“I know I came to talk to the two of you. I wanted to ask her to accompany me

on a trip. Would you two be alright with the kids?”

“Obviously,” Leo says. 1

“Yes! You two need to go on a trip! Where are you going?” Azura asks, her eyes

wide with excitement.

“I was thinking Dubai.” I say. 1

“Ooo a lot to do there. I think she’ll love it!” Azura says as she stands up and

Leo closes the gap between them. Once they’re done kissing, I turn to Leo.

“And did you do a check again?” I ask him.

“Yeah, there’s literally nothing about where she came from, no Walters that

could in any way be linked to her from the information I had. It’s a fake name

and there’s nothing on the night she was left there. I guess I could do some

more digging, but she isn’t interested, so I don’t see the need to.” 3

“Yeah, I asked her last night, too. She doesn’t want to know, so it doesn’t matter.

We don’t need to find out.” I agree with him.

He nods, about to light a cigarette before he frowns, slipping the packet back

into his pocket.

He’s keeping the promise he made to his son even when he isn’t around. Leo is

a good father.

“Oh, Winona is back.” Azura smirks as the front door shuts.

“Then I guess I’ll go ask her about the trip.” I reply. Standing up, I carry

Phoenix out of the room. I close the door after me, making Winona, who is

about to go to the kitchen, stop in her tracks and turn towards me.

She looks gorgeous in white pants and a nude coloured high neck top that

leaves her bare arms on display and I’m happy to see she’s still wearing the

bracelet.

“Hi… I’m sorry about last night.” She says quietly, surprising me by speaking

first. There’s something different about her aura… It’s far stronger… 3

“Don’t apologise. You have every right to be yourself.” I say, carrying Phoenix

over to her. “I actually wanted to ask you something.”

She nods, caressing Phoenix’s cheek and kissing her softly before she looks up

at

Her heart s*ips a beat and I slowly lean down and peck her lips, moving back

before she can respond to it.

She looks away coyly, but there’s a faint smile lingering on her lips.

“What did you want to ask me?” She questions lightly, tucking a strand of her

hair behind her ear.

“How about we go for a walk.” I suggest.

“I will just put her down for a nap and-”

“I got this.” Azura says and I turn, not even realise when the door opened. She

comes over, takes Phoenix from me, gives Winona a big wink, and walks off.

“I guess that’s sorted.” I smirk, spotting Leo wrap his arms around Azura from

behind as he whispers something in her ear, making her blush. “I think they can

use some privacy.”

“I think so too… Shall we?” She asks as she blushes, giving me a nod of

agreement and I smile faintly at her.

“Perfect then, let’s go.”

I hold the door open for her and let her step out first…
