Dr. Luna
The Fairy’s Forbidden Mate Chapter 24

Lee gripped Rhea's chin with his thumb and tilted her head upwards so that she was looking at him. "I'm sorry Rhea... I've tried... I have tried so hard up to this point."

His hot breath sizzled on her lips causing her to lick them lightly. This action brought his attention to the light pink lips of the young doe in front of him. She liked to play games and tease him sensually. He warned her that her games were dangerous. He couldn't stop his animal instincts... not that he wanted to. He had wanted things to progress differently... but he was now going to cross a bridge that couldn't be uncrossed. He lowered himself, closing the gap between their lips and pressed his up against hers. He felt her body stiffen at first. No doubt in complete shock that the game she had been playing went further than she planned. He continued to explore her lips as he felt her soften under his demands. And as her body responded his beast was encouraged. It was so hot. His kiss was so addictingly hot. It was a gentle burn that she craved. She was shocked at first when his lips met hers. That quickly vanished though. She was melting under his touch... this was more sensual then she ever dreamed it would be. A fire ignited within her as he began to greedily devour her lips. She was also craving more from him and she instinctively parted her lips ever so slightly. The moment she did he plunged his tongue into her mouth. She clumsily tried to keep up with his experienced tongue. This was her first real kiss and it was heavenly. The searing pleasure from his kiss alone was driving her delirious. She was giving into him entirely and letting him lead. She wasn't sure when or how... but she suddenly found herself being laid onto the bed. They never broke apart until she was laying onto the bed. Then she felt his lips retreat from her own. He was leaving trails of hot kisses on her face and neck. He was gently nipping and tugging on her virgin skin. Her body was tingling with little jolts of electricity. She was experiencing sensations that she never knew existed. As he began to burn her neck with his volcanic tongue, she let out an involuntary moan.

She was so inexperienced, and it was as if her body took over for her. It knew what it wanted more than then she did. Her soft moans slightly embarrassed her but it seemed to encourage him more as the smoldering heat intensified on her neck. Her hands swung up around him and pushed him deeper into her. All she knew was that she liked being burned by him. Her body craved it... it desired it. This is what she wanted and more. She had been wanting him for a very long time. Her neck was being torched by him. There was a sudden feeling like a hot ember was pushed into her neck. The pleasurable pain sent tingles inside of her, making her stomach do flips in excitement. Another moan escaped from her lips. Soon his lips began to incinerate her lips again. His hot body seethed into hers as she held him captive in her delicate arms. Then his hot lips were gone. She fluttered her eyes open at the loss of his heat. She looked up to see his light blue eyes glazed over as he stared down on her. They were both panting heavily. Their chests were rising and falling in erotic rhythms. Suddenly, she saw his jaw clench and he muttered a curse word under his breath.

"Rhea...wait here. I'm needed really quick. But... stay here so we can... continue... or talk... ugh... just wait here until I get back." Lee bent down and kissed her forehead a bit flustered. He didn't want to leave her then but duty called. Grayson had formally accepted his mate and as protocol would have it Lee would have to approve of the royal match. He didn't have to do this for others... only royalty. He looked Rhea over and then inwardly cursed at himself. He went further then he meant to. He didn't just cross a bridge... he cut the ropes once he reached the other side. They were way past the point of no return. They would need to talk... but that would have to wait until he got back. He hoped she wasn't upset with him. Who was he fooling? She was going to be angry with him. She watched as he gave her a hesitant look before he hoisted himself off of her body. She half sat up as he opened the door.

"I'll be back as soon as I can Rhea." He said one last time before leaving her alone to process what had just happened.

Rhea rolled to her side and yelled into the pillow. So close, they were so close. Though maybe this was a good thing. This gave them both time. Though she didn't need it. She already knew she wanted him. She just didn't want him to feel pressured after what she had said. Ugh! She held onto his pillow and rolled back and forth on the bed. She made herself seem desperate, so he pitied her. The more she thought about it the more embarrassed she felt. He sympathized with her and felt sorry for her. He almost slept with her because of it. She sat up holding the pillow to her face and groaned in it. She was such an i***t and now she would live the rest of her life in embarrassment.

An hour had passed and Rhea realized he wasn't coming back. She had waited for him in there like a fool when he was trying to give her a comfortable way out where she wouldn't be confronted with the embarrassing truth. Wow, I really am pathetic. Maybe I do need my mate after all so I can get rid of these feelings. Rhea frowned as she got up from Lee's bed. She walked into his bathroom to splash some cold water on her face. She reached for the faucet and splashed the cool liquid onto her skin. She looked up in the mirror and she gasped. Her neck was well marked up with little love bites and slight bruises and then there was a considerably large hickey that stood out brightly above the rest. She tried to adjust her hair to cover the love marks. It was the first time her skin had ever been marked up. She would have felt proud of it if it wasn't for them being sympathy love bites. She sat her face in her hands and whimpered. "Ugh, you are so pathetic Rhea. You know mom never had to beg for attention." She spat out to herself in disgust. Oh well... what is done is done. She pushed off from the sink and left the room.

She was feeling a bit pitiful and sorry for herself to say the least. When she thought over the moment, she was flushed with embarrassment thinking about the real moans she had let out from his touch. He had drove her to the brink. Though he was gentlemanly enough to not take full advantage of the moment and came up with an excuse to leave. It just took her too long to take the hint. She walked down towards the main hall and saw two familiar figures in the distance.

"Kelsie! Cody!" Rhea smiled and waved her hand quickening the pace to walk up to them. Seeing them brought her an immediate familiar comfort. They were always there for her. In a sense... they were her home... her safe space.

"Ray Ray! I was worried about you." Cody wrapped his large arms around her and held her tight. "How are you feeling? You okay?"

Rhea nodded her head. "I'm fine. I'm so excited I was able to help him." She said and felt another pair of tight arms around her.

"No more! You are not allowed to hurt yourself over these lizards." Kelsie held onto her and then leaned close to Rhea's ear and said barely audible. "You smell heavily like someone..."

Rhea felt the unforgiving heat rise to her face. She cleared her throat. "Where have you been? You have been gone for a while now. I figured I wouldn't see you until the morning. Did you see my brothers? How were they? How was the pack?" "Wyatt and Jason are good. In fact, they gave me this to give to you." Kelsie pulled out a sealed envelope and handed it to Rhea.

Rhea took the paper delicately and gently opened the seal.

Hey Ray of Sunshine,

Are you missing us like crazy? We miss you.

I heard you are being kept in the West Dragon Kingdom... I am going to be honest... both Jason and I want to bring you back here. Dad said to leave you be for now, but you know you come first to me. Say the word, send Kelsie back and in an instant we will be there for you. We will bring you back home where you belong.

Do me a favor though Rhea... don't travel anywhere alone. There are a lot of weird things going on lately. There is a pack of demon wolves that have been roaming the area. The Diamond Pack has had a run in with them once. It was only brief, and everyone is fine, but I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of them. Don't worry about us though. I know how you are. We are fine. We are all doing good Ray Ray... just missing you and your trouble making (haha).

Anyhow, I know you must be having a tough time after leaving here. I will always be here for you and you are always welcome home with me. Jason said to tell you he feels the same way. You and Cody will always have a home here.

We both love you and will see you soon. We sent a special letter just for Cody too. Didn't want him getting jealous. Jason said take care of Cody for him since he can be a bit of an emotional wreck (haha).

Rhea... please stay safe and be careful. If you ever need me... us... don't hesitate to reach out.

-Always-

Wyatt and Jason

Rhea felt the dampness around her eyes. She did miss them like crazy. She loved them and her pack. It gave her an overwhelming feeling of homesickness when she read the contents. Cody brought her in for a hug. "I miss our brothers too. Don't worry. We will see them soon Rhea." He felt her soft nod into his chest.

"There she is!" A voice called out from the side of the castle.

Rhea turned to see two people walking towards her. Then not far behind them was a couple more people who she didn't recognize and slowly trailing them was the familiar slime dressed in purple.
