Bonded to My Ex's Alpha Brother (by CalebWhite) novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178

Derek’s lips found my earlobe, gently sucking on the sensitive skin. A small moan escaped before I could stop it, embarrassingly loud in the quiet corridor. He captured both my hands with one of his, pinning them to the wall above my head.

His lips moved from my ear to my cheek while his thumb traced circles on the sensitive skin inside my wrists. Each touch sent pleasurable sparks through my veins.

“Why can’t you just behave?” he murmured against my skin. “You know I don’t like being angry with you.”

“Why?” I managed to ask, the single word encompassing all my confusion about his behavior.

Derek smiled against my throat, his teeth lightly grazing the sensitive skin there. “You know the answer in your heart, he responded, then kissed me again, gentler than before but just as thorough.

This time, I kissed back, my lips moving beneath his despite his continued grip on my wrists. His free hand traced the curve of my waist, learning my shape through the fabric of my dress.

“How dare you try to attract the attention of other wolves?” he growled against my neck. “When you know you are mine.”

His words sent a thrill through my body that had nothing to do with fear and everything to do with desire. His lips moved to my collarbone, the place he had been staring at all evening, leaving hot, open–mouthed kisses along the delicate bone.

“I want you to look me in the eyes the whole time, little wolf,” he commanded, his gaze locked with mine.

Derek’s fingertips hooked into the neckline of my dress, slowly pulling it down, the fabric sliding across my skin, exposing the curves of my breasts, the coolness and his gaze burning me simultaneously. He leaned down, his lips pressing against my exposed chest, wet, hot kisses like flames, tracing along the curve, leaving tingling shivers in their wake.

He yanked the dress open, his chest pressing firmly against mine, the weight of his muscles making me gasp. His breath was scorching against my ear as he whispered, “I’m not done marking you.” His husky voice was like electricity, making my spine quiver.

His tongue plunged into my mouth, the French kiss sweeping through like a storm, his tongue entwining with mine, stealing my breath, the lingering taste of alcohol mixing with his scent, making me dizzy. I wrapped my arms around his neck, my fingers digging into his thick black hair, and when I pulled tight, he let out a low groan, kissing me more fiercely.

Derek’s hand moved to my breast, his palm kneading, his thumb flicking across the nipple, triggering a sharp jolt of pleasure. His lips moved to my breast, taking one nipple into his mouth, sucking with enough force to make me arch, a moan escaping my throat: “Derek…”

He looked up, golden fire burning in his eyes, the corner of his mouth curving into a dangerous smile before he licked more forcefully, his teeth scraping lightly, leaving red marks.

“You dared to flaunt yourself in front of other wolves,” he growled against my skin, his voice deep as thunder, “this is your punishment.” His hand slid between my legs, his long fingers precisely finding my clitoris, massaging with a touch both light and ruthless, the wet heat making my entire body tense.

I bit my lip trying to suppress a moan, but one/escaped anyway. He chuckled, his fingers quickening, his thumb circling the sensitive spot, his other hand gripping my buttock, forcing me against his touch.

His mouth sealed over mine again, his tongue mimicking the rhythm below, nearly suffocating me with the depth of his kiss. My clitoris swelled under his rubbing. My legs trembled, clamping tightly around his hand, my body teetering on the edge of pleasure. He pulled back slightly, staring at my flushed face, his golden eyes filled with naked possession: “You are mine.”

Before I could control myself, I cried out: “Soul Bond!”

Derek froze, his body suddenly rigid against mine. He pulled back slightly, looking into my eyes, and I knew mine were glistening with let

tears.

A wrinkle appeared on his forehead, and he began to move away, but I kept my arins locked around his neck, unwilling to let him go

“C–can I call you my Soul Bond?” I asked tentatively, my voice barely above a whisper.

In that moment, I fully realized I couldn’t live without Derek. He truly was my destined mate, chosen by the Moon herself. I thought back to my relationship with Bradley, finally understanding why that relationship had always felt somewhat wrong, why there had always been a barrier I couldn’t cross.

It was my wolf, I suddenly understood. My wolf had always prevented mate. He was never the one meant to be mine.

Derek looked at me for a long time, his expression unreadable. I worried he would become cold again, would retreat behind the walls he so carefully maintained. Hesitantly, I loosened my arms from around his neck.

He straightened, once again making me feel his powerful build, his presence seeming to fill the space around us, radiating Alpha energy.

Gathering my courage, I rose on my tiptoes, wrapping my arms around his neck again, craving his closeness.
