Bait novel 205

Chapter 205

“Perry, please don’t do this right now,” he leans into me his forehead pressing against mine until the back of my head hits the door behind me. “I know what happened was terrible but you can’t just shut down like this, Baby. I need you as much as you need me.”

“Can we talk about this upstairs?” I can barely hear my own voic

He nods and reaches down to grab onto my thighs. I wrap my arms around him and then my legs when he lifts me up. I shut my eyes when he gets to the second floor where my study It’s late so I imagine that Hunter and Natalie are in bed

Valentina and Rose have been taking care of them. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that her new boyfriend was a serial- killing feral who was trapped in Jake’s skin. Jordan and James were forbidden to say anything to anyone including the twins. The King sits on our bed setting me down on hits lap. I sit up and he pushes my hair out of my face.

“I love you,” he says gently. “All of you. You’re mine. So, when you say shit like what you did downstairs, it kills me because I know you fucking mean it,” he grips my hair to pull me closer. His lips press against mine for a moment before he lets me go to wrap his arms around me. “I don’t know how to make this better.

any more than he does.

My hot tears land on his cheek and I wrap myself around him. I don’t know what to do any

“I just lost my family, I choke out, I try to control myself but my body just ends up shaking. “All of it. There’s nothing left, You have me. You have our family,” he holds me tighter.

I know that. I know that they all care about me

“I don’t know if I want that, it’ll happen again and again and agam. The way it always does he pulls away looking up at me.

“Want what?”

“Your family,”

“Don’t fucking say that. Don’t fucking say that to me,”

“I killed mine,”

“No,” he shakes his as he holds my face in place. “Listen to me. Oh, Baby that wasn’t on you. None of this is your fault. You’re so fucking lucky to have survived. You’re out,”

“You heard what he said. You were there. The Falcon is gone. He was supposed to be the bad guy. The evil man. It’s not going to stop,

“Perry,” he growls.

I push him away needing to breathe. To stop the trembling in my bones, but he doesn’t lerme. His arms tighten around me keeping me here.

“I don’t want anyone else to die because of me,”

“No one else is going to die, Baby,” he says against the back of my head. “You have me now. I have an army. I have everything you need to keep us safe We have to stay together, Perry, I know you’re scared, but running isn’t the answer. We’ll figure this

but

“You can’t make any of those promises. I’ve heard them before,

Chapter 205

“Perry,” he says genily and uns me around. “You belong to me. You know I would do anything for you. There is nothing else for us out there.” he cups my face and fuck him because the gentle way he’s touching me has stopped the shaking in my body. “You and me, Little Wolf. Nothing else matters.

“It doesn’t matter if we happened by accident or if your great great great great great grandfather orchestrated it. This is real, We’re flesh and blood,” he drops his hand to his mark on my neck and then moves over to where Darren’s had been. “Darren was real. All of it. I felt it in the way we destroyed one another when we met. I feel it now.

“You love me as much as I love you. If what that thing said was true, you’re right. Eventually, they’re going to come for their shit. Hunter and Natalie. Everything you stole from the Wraith. We hold all the cards.

“I’m so sorry this happened to you. Mackenzie deserved more. She was one of us and we’re not going to let that go. You’re not the only one hurting, Baby. We all loved them because they were your family. Our family. You’re ours. They were ours. You’re not alone anymore. Do you understand? I want that out of your head. There is no place you can run to where we wouldn’t find you. Stop trying to push me away. I’m not going anywhere,”

“Okay,” I nod. His words are echoing in my head violently.

“Okay” he lets out a sigh of relief and wraps me up in another hag 1 bring my arms up to hug him around the waist.

“I knew the blue monkshood wasn’t going to kill me. I was never any danger. Oz tested it on several DNA samples before giving it to Dr. Salazar. If they would have told me it wasn’t going to work, I wouldn’t have gone through with it,”

“Why do you say mean shit like that to me?” he nips at my neck.

Tve told you before, Jonas. Just because I’m trying my best to be better doesn’t mean I’m not an asshole anymore, Ishrug.

“If my hair wasn’t already fading to white, you’d be aging me,”

“You’re old. That was bound to happen,” I laugh when he growls at me playfully.

“Get out of this. It’s wet and I need you to get warm,‘ he pulls back my coat

“You need me to?” I roll my eyes.

“I need you to, Little Wolf. You’re not going to take care of yourself properly, so I will,”

He unzips my dress and slowly drags it down my body until I can step out of it. He rips my nylons off leaving me in just my underwear. Without warning he scoops me up and takes us to the bed. He hisses when his bare skin presses against mine under the blankets,

“You’re hot,” I press myself closer to him.

“It’s the only thing you like about me, he laughs wrapping me up in his arms. I turn around to face him.

“That’s not true. I don’t like you ‘cause you’re hot, I laugh.

“You’ve said that to me on more than one occasion,”

“You’re remembering that wrong. I’m pretty sure the words I used were I don’t bite your cock off because that’s the only thing I like about you. It’s not the same thing.”

“Hmm, I think I’d remember that,” he shakes his head.

“I lied. You know that, right?”

The thing about my dick?”

“Yeah,”

Chapter 203

“So you don’t like it,”

“Yeah, but I also like that you’re hot. I like that you’re fucking old enough to like journaling,” I laugh.

“I’m going to push you out of the bed if you keep calling me old

“You’re eleven years older than me, I laugh. He growls cligging his fingers into my thighs. “I’m sorry,”

“For what?”

Π

“For everything. I mean things I’ve done to us personally, I reach up to touch the scar on his face. All the fuck up shit I said. I didn’t mean it. I just didn’t want you to love me. You’re a straigh–up masochist,”

“What does that make you?” he smirks. “A sadist?”

“I don’t like humiliating people. I immediately regret shit as soon as it leaves my mouth. I said some fucked up shit to Knightly just before we went after the wraith. I say mean things to you all the time and I punish myself for that. A lot. It’s why it doesn’t hurt my feelings when other people say ugly things to me. I have to live with myself. Know that what I say to you or others is never as bad as what I say to myself,”

Im very well aware of that. I wish I could change that. I wish I could make you see you the way I see you,”

“No, I don’t think that would be ideal,” I shake my head.

“Why?” he laughs.

My great great great great great great grandfather is so self–fulfilled that he thinks he’s a god. Can you imagine me with a god–complex? Fuck that. It would be over for everyone,”

We both laugh

“You’re right it would be disastrous,” he pulls me closer. “Besides, the last thing I want to do is pray when I get on my knees in front of you. That’s reserved for ungodly things,”

“Are you propositioning me?” I sit up.

“Is that weird?” he grins.

“The only other time you did it was the first time we fucked. And it was just as amazing as this time around,” I laugh. “I’m usually the one that goes after you,”

“We don’t have to,”

“Fuck that,” I pull the blankets off us. “My mate is initiating sex with slick fucking lines. We’re doing this,”

“I was actually told I didn’t have any game,” he laughs.

“Whoever told you that, is a sad lonely fuck, I straddle him and press my lips to his “Who doesn’t know what the hell they’re talking about,” his hands roam my body the way they always do. You made a suicidal feral wolf fall in love with you and it had nothing to do with a fucking mate’s bond,”
