A Kiss For Your Freedom
Chapter 16

If you like my story, please add me to your favorites. Good reading.

- Then everything changed. It's like I lost my dreams and hopes with him. I spent days cooped up at home before going back to work and shortly after, I decided that should never happen again. That I would never let someone hurt me this much again. I met a man, absolutely not right for me, but reassuring enough to give me what I needed. To put me back together. I wasted a year with him, a year of sinking deeper and deeper into this torpor, into this hell that seems to have been created only for me, until a magnificent brunette came to cross my path. and make me understand that the end of a story is not an end in itself but that, on the contrary, it can bring something much more beautiful and much stronger.

- Tell me I'm the beautiful brunette.

It's you, the magnificent brunette, I said, smiling.

- Perfect, he said, kissing me quickly. I'm not him, I would never put you through that.

- I know it, just as I know it's much less painful since you've been part of my life. I've been doing everything not to think about it for months, but with you, it just disappears, as if it never existed.

- So much the better, I'm happy to know that I can make you forget about this a*****e and now that we are clear on the fact that you belong to me and that I belong to you, I can tell you that I wouldn't let him approach you.

- Do not worry. Things have changed. I met him today. It made its presence felt during my lunch break. But I sent him away. I don't know why he's reappearing now, but what I can tell you is that he's wasting his time.

He smiled a little more before kissing me while holding me against him. I feel that he likes what I just said, that he appreciates the place I give him in my life.

Finally, we take our plates again, but this time, I stay on these knees. I don't want to get away from him. I don't want to leave the warmth of his body.

Jason's POV

I can't sleep. Lying in this hotel room, I stare at the ceiling as if it could bring me to sleep. I feel it, their bond strengthening and with it, I lose her a little more every day.

I don't know how he manages to break all our laws, to make her his own when she's mine, but it's becoming unbearable. I am unable to concentrate on anything else.

I turn my head towards the alarm clock. Two o'clock in the morning. It's dead, I won't be able to sleep. I get up and get dressed quickly. I need to get some fresh air, to breathe. I need to clear my head for at least a few hours. I quickly leave the hotel to get to my car.

I've been there for several days already, I know where to go to replace a little nature in this city of cement and metal. After a half hour drive, I parked on the edge of a forest. It's not very big but at least my Wolf will be able to let off some steam.

I sink a little between the trees before taking off my clothes. I breathe deeply to try to detect the slightest human presence and once sure that there is no one, I let my Wolf take over.

Immediately, he starts screaming, he is in as much pain as me. He, like me, must do violence not to go looking for her. To not bring her back with us and mark her as she should. However, even he knows that it would be useless. I can't go against his wishes. I can't bring her back by force. I can't make her any more unhappy than I already made her.

I only have one solution left. Win fair and square. Fight for her, as I should have done a year ago already.

My Wolf rushes through the trees. He runs hoping to forget his pain, hoping to stop thinking, for at least a while.

I won't give up, not this time. I wouldn't make the same mistake again. I must do everything to approach him. So that she understands that it is me who is meant for her.

Dorian's POV

The words came out on their own, I didn't want to go too quickly, but my Wolf wants to see her, to meet her. It's normal. I know that, but I'm afraid she's not ready yet. I'm afraid she'll try to run away from me if she sees us as we are.

Despite that, she understood that we belonged to each other, that from now on our lives were linked and that didn't scare her. On the contrary, I felt her heart beat faster as she became aware of what she was saying and especially when she realized that it was more than shared Because it's true, she is mine, mine. We.

It's crazy how easy everything is with her, much more so than with my previous partner, even if I don't want to compare them, far from it. But with Emma, everything flows naturally. After we finish eating, we wash the dishes together and sit in the living room next to each other. I turn on the TV and she turns on her computer. She prepares to work a little but despite that, she curls up in my arms, leaning against my chest while my arm wraps around her waist.

It's stupid, it's so simple and yet, it's enough to make me smile. That's enough to make me feel really good. I feel my Wolf almost purring as I perceive this harmony between us. He likes it because it brings him a little closer to meeting her.

My fingers caress her arm as she types frantically on her computer. It takes me five minutes to choose a program and finally opts for an animal documentary. She quickly turns her gaze to the TV before diving back into her computer. I know she's going to have it for a while, but that doesn't matter. I've got plenty of time.

After almost an hour of working, she starts to fidget, I feel like she is less focused. And finally, a few minutes later, she closes her computer before putting it on the coffee table and cuddling a little closer to me.

- I'm sorry I had to spend time working, I suspect it's not very fun for you.

- I understand, don't worry and I must say that it's not unpleasant to see you working, I told him, kissing his forehead.

- No, I have always liked animal documentaries, especially when it comes to predators. I replace it fascinating. Their way of hunting, of sensing their environment to know the exact moment to attack. It's remarkable I must say. It is often said that humans are the greatest predators of all, but without weapons, they are no good compared to a lion, a tiger or even a wolf.

Once again, she makes my heart beat faster, she is interested in predators, she is so close to the truth, so close. I feel her tense for a short moment in my arms, it only lasts a single second but I know, at this precise moment, I know that she has just understood what I am.

She stands up, observing me, this is the moment I was dreading, she risks running away from me, wanting to chase me out of her life. I close my eyes for a short moment, but his hand rests on my cheek while his other hand comes to place itself above my heart which is beating so hard, so fast.

- Open your eyes Dorian, she said in a soft voice. Look at me, handsome brunette, I won't run away from you, you can believe me.

I take a deep breath before letting myself be guided by his voice. I look into hers and against all expectations, she is smiling, she is nothing but sweetness and tenderness.

- I'm not afraid Dorian, I don't really know why but frankly, why would I be afraid of something that makes me feel so good, that makes me so happy, that manages to make me smile whenever I get up until I fall asleep. I'm not afraid of you. Absolutely not. - But, you don't understand everything that's going on and it could influence your life.

- Because you think it hasn't already? Do you think that since I met you my life hasn't completely changed? You are My Sunshine. Mine, just me.

- However, it's much darker than you might imagine.

-- Are you afraid he will hurt me?

- He won't hurt you, never, my dear, I swear, I said hurriedly.

She smiled a little more, pressing her hand on my chest.

- You think I don't know? No matter how much you contain it, I feel it, even when we make love, when you bite me, when you become wilder. He is there, all the time, when we laugh together, when we sleep together. I have never been afraid of change Dorian, I prefer that rather than missing out on the strongest relationship I have ever had.

I don't know how she manages to do that, she's just a simple human and yet she doesn't ask me to leave, although she knows, deep in her heart, she knows what we are.

- I can't show it to you, my dear. We need more space.

So you want me to meet him?

- He wants it as much as you do, you can believe me, I just hope it doesn't go too quickly for you, my dear.

She kisses me tenderly, gently before breathing against my lips,

- I'm starting to get used to the idea that obviously, when it comes to you, there are no rules, handsome brunette.

She is truly unique, perfect. My Wolf quivers at the idea of seeing her, at the idea of smelling her himself. I take a deep breath before telling him.

- We need a forest, out of sight. Large enough without being huge. When he has gained the upper hand, he will want to exercise. He will want to run.

- I know the perfect place for that, she said, smiling at me a little more. There is no one there at this time.

Do you want to go now?

- I want to see it, I want it, I have felt it since you bit me for the first time, since you let it reveal itself slightly in front of me. I know you're afraid of my reaction. You're afraid I'll run away. You'd think I wouldn't see you the same way again, but, trust me. I'm not as fragile as you might think and especially Dorian, I know how I feel about you. I know it's only you who makes my heart beat so fast. I want to go now and I promise you that tomorrow evening we will share a cold dish again because we will have made love between the two.
