Chapter 141
My heart ached at his words, but the fire in my heart burned hotter. “Nathan, please, I pleaded, stepping closer, pressing myself against him. “I want you. I need you. We’ve just found each other again, and I’ve missed you so much. I want to feel you, to be close to you.”
His jaw clenched, and I could see the war raging within him–his Alpha instincts roaring to claim his mate, yet his love for me and our child holding him back.
His erection strained against his pants, a clear sign of his own desperate need, but his hands remained gentle, cupping my face as he searched my eyes.
“I want you too,” he admitted, his voice raw. “More than you know. But your health, our baby…”
Tears pricked at my eyes, not from rejection, but from the depth of his care. Still, my body ached for him, the longing too powerful to ignore..
“Then don’t,” I whispered, guiding his hand to my breast, my nipple hardening further under his touch. Just… help me. Please.”
His resolve wavered, and with a low growl, he gave in to my plea–not fully, but enough to ease the ache between us. His lips descended to my breast, kissing the sensitive skin of my breast before taking my nipple into his mouth.
The warmth of his tongue sent a jolt of pleasure through me, and I gasped, my fingers tangling in his hair as he sucked
gently, his hand caressing my other breast, thumb brushing over the sensitive peak.
“Nathan,” I moaned, my body trembling under his touch. His free hand slid down my side, careful to avoid my belly, and
settled between my thighs, where I was already wet with need.
His fingers moved with deliberate care, stroking my clit in slow, teasing circles, coaxing waves of pleasure that made my
knees weak.
His dick was rock–hard against my hip, the evidence of his arousal undeniable, yet he made no move to take things further. Every touch, every kiss, was for me, his focus entirely on my pleasure.
My hips rocked against his hand, chasing the release I so desperately craved, and he murmured soft words of encouragement against my skin, his voice a low rumble that sent shivers down my spine.
“Let go, Rachel,” he whispered, his lips brushing my ear. “I’ve got you.”
The combination of his touch, his scent, and the overwhelming love in his eyes pushed me over the edge.
I cried out, my body shuddering as pleasure crashed through me, wave after wave, until I was breathless and sated in his arms. He held me close, kissing my forehead, my cheeks, my lips, his touch tender and grounding as I came down from the high.
But as I reached for him, wanting to give him the same release, he gently caught my wrist, shaking his head. “Not tonight,” he said, his voice strained but firm. “This was for you.”
“Nathan, you’re…” I glanced down at the bulge in his pants, my heart aching for him.
He gave me a wry smile, pressing a kiss to my palm. “I’ll survive. But I need to cool off.”

He stepped back, his eyes lingering on me with a mix of love and longing, before he turned toward the bathroom. “I’m going to take a shower.”
As the door closed behind him, I sank onto the bed, my body still humming with the afterglow of his touch.
The sound of running water reached my ears, and I imagined him under the spray, wrestling with his own desires, his love for me stronger than his instincts.
I love you.
