Micah

I think I felt my lungs collapse when Hannah said that. My eyes shot open and I looked at her, my mouth dropped wide and my heart rate was going so fast I thought it would pop out of my chest. She looked at me with a mixture of humor and uncertainty. After a few tense moments, I shook myself out of my amazed stupor and pulled her away from me a little so I could stare at her properly.

"Are you sure, sweetness? I don't want you to feel rushed." I tell her and she nods. I reach out to cup her cheek, enjoying the sparks that simmer across my skin at the touch.

"I'm sure. If I didn't have to fight your psychotic ex booty call to the death in a few days, I'd do it right now." She says with an amused smile. I sigh and look at her guiltily, trailing my thumb across the soft skin of her cheek.

"Just another thing I'm so sorry for." I say quietly and her eyes soften as she looks at me with warm affection.

"Don't be sorry, Micah. It's over and we both need to let the past go if we want to move forward." She says quietly and I sigh in content, pulling her into me and pecking her lips with mine. She's always so soft and melds into me perfectly, like the piece of me I didn't know I was missing.

"I would be honored to wear your mark, Hannah." I whisper in her ear and feel her shudder against me so I tighten my arms around her. She brushes her face gently against my chest and my wolf purrs at the move. He is ecstatic about finally being able to converse with his mate.

I fall asleep in complete bliss, Hannah's naked body pressed against mine.

The next two days were spent training Hannah relentlessly. We pushed her passed her limits, her parents even joining in the training. After having spent years teaching her, they already knew her weaknsesses. I watched her spar with her mom in wolf form and my girl is seriously destructive. She took her mom down in two minutes, and her dad in five.

I've never been so proud.

We worked on her speed the most. I've seen Jasmine fight and she is a fucking blur at times. That was really the only thing that concerned me.

The night before the fight, Hannah was a bundle of nerves. I could tell by her anxious twitches and I could feel it through our bond. After I encouraged her heavily to eat some dinner, I pulled her into my room, hoping my scent would calm her, and wrapped my arms securely around her.

"Sweetness. You're gonna kick ass. Just relax." I tell her, massaging her shoulders. She lets out a nervous chuckle and turns to face me.

"It's not that it's..." She starts and then stops, avoiding eye contact.

"What is it?" I ask, curious what has my girl in such a tizzy.

"I want you to... um... make me feel good." She says nervously. I'm surprised by her request, but smile down at her red cheeks and bright eyes.

"It would be my pleasure." I purr in her ear making her shiver, before I throw her over my shoulder and plop her down on the bed gently. She lets out a surprised breathy laugh and looks up at me with hooded eyes. I slip my shirt off before shimmying her pants down her legs.

I lay down in between them, tracing kisses up her legs until I stop at her thighs.

"What would you like me to use? My mouth?" I ask, licking a trail up to her pussy, already dripping her sweet juices. She shakes her head and looks down at me.

"Your hand. So I can kiss you." She answers breathlessly. I shoot up to her side, locking my lips with hers as I trail my fingertips along her soft skin, skimming over her slit making her moan into my mouth. I thrust my tongue against hers as I twirl her clit with two fingers, making her buck against me.

"Don't stop, baby." She whines when I lean down to suck on the spot that I will mark. This earns me a loud groan as she reaches for me, threading her fingers through my hair and pulling my face back to hers. She sucks my bottom lip into her mouth and I let out a groan of my own, my erection growing and rubbing against her thigh through my shorts. She reaches her little hand down and strokes me through them and I about come from that touch alone.

"God damn, sweetness. You're every dream come true." I groan as she tightens her hand around me.

I slip a finger gently inside of her, curling it as I rub her firmly, twirling my wrist so my thumb can continue massaging her little bundle of nerves. She screams out in pleasure and her movements on my cock stop as she is overtaken by the sensations.

"Just like that. Oh my god I'm gonna come." She groans, thrusting her hips to meet my movements. A moment later, she combusts, screaming my name as her pussy clenches so tightly on my finger I think it's going to snap off. When she calms down a little, her eyes slide open and she looks at me with a warm smile. She watches as I lift my fingers to my mouth and suck her juices off of them. She giggles and smacks my chest playfully while rolling her eyes.

"You're ridiculous."

"And you're delicious." I respond and her face sobers before she bites her lip.

"I want to try something." She says shyly and I look at her curiously.

"What would you like to try, my love?" I ask, leaning forward to brush my nose against hers. She sits up and sinks down in between my thighs. She grips my shorts, and tugs them down until my cock springs free. She eyes it nervously, before reaching out and wrapping her hand around it.

The move surprises me and I jerk a little at the contact. She giggles and looks up at me.

"Am I doing this right?" She asks. I am unable to form words, only nod as she strokes me tentatively. Before long, my hips thrust into her hand. She speeds up at that, running her thumb along the tip making me leak. She moans a little, like this is turning her on as much as me, and the sound sends a straight shot of pleasure through my body.

"Ah, sweetness. That feels so damn good I'm not gonna last long." I tell her through clenched teeth as I try to hold off the orgasm that's barreling down on me like a freight train.

"That's ok, baby. I wanna make you come." Her seductive purr is my undoing.

I throw my head back and groan as I erupt in her hot little hand, shooting my load onto my stomach. I look at her and see a surprised kind of awe on her face.

"Did I do that right?" She asks, making me chuckle.

"Are you fucking kidding me? That was the best orgasm I've ever had." I tell her honestly, trying not to imagine what coming inside of her would feel like.

That's not on the menu yet.

She smiles shyly and I stand to clean myself up before tucking back into bed with her, pulling her flush against me, moving my lips with hers before she nuzzles her face into my chest, wrapping her arms around me securely.

I don't think either one of us slept particularly well, knowing what this morning would hold. We woke up and dressed quietly, Hannah seemed focused and determined, and I just didn't know what to say.

She didn't really eat breakfast and I couldn't blame her. I didn't have much of an appetite either. We walked to the training grounds together where the fight would be held. I linked my fingers with hers as we walked side by side.

"You feel ok?" I ask nervously and she nods.

"Yeah. I'm as ready as I'm going to get." She says with a shrug and I envy her nonchalance. I reach out to our bond, and feel she is actually pretty serene.

We see a crowd surrounding one of the training circles, Jasmine already there bouncing around and shaking out her muscles. When Jasmine looks up at us, Hannah smirks at her and pulls me in for a fierce kiss that I happily return, thrusting our tongues together and groaning into the kiss. I almost forget anyone else is there. When we pull away, Jasmine is seething as she stares at us. Hannah starts to walk towards her, but I pull her back for one last kiss and a firm hug.

"I love you." I whisper in her ear. She pulls away and gives me a bright smile before cupping my cheeks and kissing me gently again.

"I love you too." She says to my surprise. She giggles as my face must register my shock before she walks away, swaying her hips as I watch. I follow her towards the circle and listen as she speaks.

"This is your last chance, Jasmine. You can admit you lied about this bond and walk away. Right now." Hannah says and Jasmine scoffs.

"Never. He is my mate and after you're dealt with, I will prove it." Jasmine says snarling. Hannah laughs humorlessly and crosses her arms across her chest while shaking her head.

"Oh, Jasmine. I know for a fact you're not his mate. Because if you were, you would have felt what we did last night." Hannah taunts as the crowd gasps at her words.

Oh yeah. My girl is savage.
