Marked

Chapter 3: Alpha Kane

 We stood there a while, panting and staring at each other. Kane's eyes darted down to my lips and he kissed me again, not as hard this time, soft but firm. It wasn't as long and I was like a pathetic puppy chasing after his lips when the kiss broke. He pulled back, looking at me the way I always hoped my mate would.

"You're so fucking beautiful," he said, bringing his hand up, his thumb rubbing over my bottom lip.

My heart fluttered and I couldn't stop the smile. He smiled too, brushing loose pieces of hair out of my face. I moved my hand down to my stomach but he caught my wrist, growling.

"Don't clean it up," he said. "I want everyone to be able to smell me on you. I want them to know you're mine."

"Trust me," I said, moving my hand down to my stomach.

I swiped up some of his cum with two fingers, bringing it up to my lips and licking it off while keeping eye contact. His eyes darkened and he growled, fixing my tank top.

"Let's get the fuck out of here," he said, pushing off the wall and wrapping his arm around my waist, pulling me to his side as he started to the exit.

"I can't," I said, stepping back. "I have to go to the meeting."

"Fuck the meeting. I need to be inside you," he said, pulling me against him.

"You can have me after. I need to be there for all the meetings today. It's important to me," I said, sliding my hands down and fixing his jeans and belt.

He groaned and pressed his forehead against mine. "Fine. But as soon as the meetings are over..." he said, his hands holding my hips tightly.

"Agreed," I said. "But, fair is fair," I said, sliding my hand down between my legs.

He watched me, his breathing getting more ragged. I moaned softly when I touched myself, getting my fingers nice and wet before bringing them up, sliding them under his shirt and leaning close to him as I rubbed the wetness over his abs. "I want everyone to know you are mine, too."

"Fuck, you couldn't be more perfect if I made you myself," he groaned, grabbing my hand and bringing it up to his mouth, sucking on my fingers. "So fucking sweet. I can't wait to eat your pussy for every meal, baby."

I clenched, feeling even more wet now. I ached for his touch, craved to be with him. But I had a job to do.

"Soon," I promised, standing on my tiptoes to kiss him. "The tension from waiting will just make it sweeter," I whispered, nipping his ear before walking away.

He groaned and followed after me, grabbing me and pulling me back into his arms and back into a melt-worthy kiss. "I've been looking for you for so long, Tess," he murmured against my lips before hugging me, guiding my head into his chest and wrapping his arms around me tightly.

I wasn't a crier but I could've cried with that gesture. The last few months while Addie was sick had been so fucking hard. I'd kept it together at every single turn and never slowed down but in that moment, in his arms, all the pain and stress didn't feel so overwhelming. I sunk into the hug, relaxing my head in his chest and wrapping my arms around him. He nuzzled into my hair and inhaled deeply, holding me even tighter as they gave a one minute warning for the meeting.

"I've been waiting for you too," I said, pulling back and kissing his cheek before backing away. "But I do really have to go to these meetings today. After that, I'm all yours," I said, winking and turning around. With him still behind me, I made sure to add a sway to my hips. It had the effect I wanted, I heard the growl. Goddess, I wanted him. But I had to focus. This was an important mission and I was Xander and Addie's Gamma above all else.
