Nothing feels better than being within my mates arms.

My back is pressed up against his chest, his arm slung over my waist. I'm enjoying the stories he whispers in my ear about magic and the Devotion Pack. He has so many amazing stories that I could listen to all night without fail. There is something to intimate about being up against him will he shares all he can with me.

"I would say you're easily one of the most interesting people I've met," I tell him. It's not just because of his stories that I say that, but also due to his knowledge and how charismatic of a person he is, and has been this entire time.

I mean, he did manage to convince everyone he was causing us harm in order to keep us all from interrupting his plan.

He even let himself take the fall in place of Ren.

"You need to travel more, my love," he comments, his tone amused. I chuckle, but I know I'm right. Twisting around, I lay facing him, looking up at him. Through the darkness, I can still see his eyes, and I don't doubt he can still see my body, which my robe has since slipped off of. I don't mind, though.

I have no reason to be shy around him.

"I'm sure I can learn a lot about the world from you," I murmur, reaching up to touch his face gently with the tips of my fingers. He grabs my hand, kissing each pad gently. I can't help but giggle at his sweetness.

"Well maybe there are a few things I can teach you," he whispers, he husky tone of his voice sending shivers down my spine. I think I know what that means...

Chase suddenly leans over me, brushing my hair back from my face. My heart flutters as he looks down at me. Through his gaze, I can sense his trust in me, and I feel the same for him. I know he is my mate, and our feelings for each other are real, and are not apart of the confusion between Ren and Chase.

He kisses me, and I feel the blood within me run hot. There is something so delicious about the way he tastes, something so sensual in the way he touches me. I reach out, wrapping my arms around his back, feeling under his shirt.

He is built so magnificently, like a work of art. The tips of my fingers run down the plane of his back, feeling each muscle shift under his soft skin.

How can one person be so perfect.

As usual, when we kiss, the bond between us sparks up, and everything seems to heat up in an entire instant. It's as if when we are pressed up against each other, there is no going  back, that we can't keep off each other. I want to feel all of him against me, and he seems to feel the same way, as he allows me to slip his shirt off.

If this doesn't stop, I don't care. I want all of him, and I can feel that he wants all of me, too. Every fear in the moment dissolved into nothing as I allow the desire for my mate to take over instead.

"I've wanted you this badly since the moment I laid eyes on you," I murmurs into my ear, before trailing kisses down my neck.

I can't help but shiver.

Chase takes his time undressing me. He doesn't tear them off, but delicately peels off each layer until I'm fully undressed underneath him, enjoying each part of my body before coming back up to my face. I grab it between my hands, kissing him before pushing him over so I can enjoy his body too.

I love the taste of him, as kiss down his neck, his chest and abdomen before I reach the line of his pants. They don't remain on for long, and once they are finally off, I decide how I best want to have fun.

His moans fill my ears as I finally taste him, letting my tongue explore him, as I enjoy the feeling of pleasuring my mate.

Nothing else feels better.

Ren doesn't allow me to continue on for too long, before he grabs me, pulling me under him. Excitement sparks within me, as I hold tightly onto his back, my eyes silently beginning him to continue, to finally settle both of our anticipation. I won't be able to handle it if he doesn't.

He seems to understand my want, as finally, he slid inside me. I couldn't help the breathy moan that slipped out at the feeling of him, and the words that he whispers in my ear. My hips raise up to his, the fleeting moment of pain vanishing in an instant.

Chase kisses my neck, biting and licking in a subdued matter while he moves inside me, driving me crazy.

The amount of pleasure I am consumed in is immense.

My hands move from his back to his hair, gripping the strands between my fingers as I move with him. His pace has accelerate, his mutters in my ear become breathless, until I push him over onto his back once again, to assume control. A spark in Chase's eyes accepts my challenge, enjoying my burst of confidence.

I keep a strong rhythm, my hands on his chest, his on my hips. I can feel the euphoric build within me, that continues to ascend until I feel something within myself explode, and I'm consumed in an immense amount of pleasure, that Chase follows me in moments later.

Falling back onto the bed, I let out a deep breathing. Glancing over at Chase, I see him watching me, a warm, sated smile on his face. I can't help but smile back at him.

I'm truly happy, I realise.

Chase pulls me against him chest, holding me tightly, as if terrible things would happen to me if he let go. It's the first time, throughout this all where I've noticed him be protective like this. Yes, he saved me from Ren's hit, but he has always assumed I would be capable of looking after myself.

"I'm going to have to go away for awhile," he murmurs in my ear.

His words make me startle, as I sit up, looking at him, confused. Leave? After what we have done together on this night, he wants to leave? Part of me wants to be angry at him, to get up and walk out of this room, but I listen.

Chase seems to notice my expression, jumping to explain himself. "In order for you to be able to convince Ren you love him to get the key, I need to hide. It will quell his anger and give him time to consider how he feels for you."

"But what if he tries to hurt me again?" I question. I'm not wanting to fully rely on Chase, and I know I don't need to, but it is nice knowing somewhere is there in case Ren gets the better of me.

"I'll be lurking. I'll always keep you safe," he assures me.

Loosening a breath, I nod, despite the anxiety that creeps within my mind. Not only am I going to have to butter up to Ren, who could turn on me at any moment, but I'm also concerned with how that is going to make me feel. I felt sick to my stomach when I thought I would be walking in on Ren wearing what I was wearing. And he wasn't even going to see it.

"I'm not sure how I'm going to convince him, but if we can get this money, I suppose it's worth it," I say softly. Ren has to believe something that I'm not even sure if I can portray. Especially when he must be suspicious of Chase and I.

"Once we have exposed this money to other Alpha's, we will be able to source their help in getting rid of Ren's consciousness, or perhaps placing him in another body," Chase explains.

Laying my head on the pillow next to Chase, I look him in the eye.

"Do you really want to stay in this body? Are you not interested in finding another?" I ask him curiously. I would love him no matter what body he was placed in.

"Well, my body is now dead, and someone has to resume being the Alpha for this Pack. I think I would be good enough for it," Chase says. Looking up at him, I don't doubt that. He would be a strong, confident leader, who wouldn't cower on an island all throughout his reign.

I nestle into Chase's shoulder, breathing in his scent. "I will do this for you. Whatever secrets Ren might be hiding, will be revealed."

And I truly mean that.
