My Not Yet Mate

Chapter 43

Sterling

He hung up the call with Donald and leaned back against his chair. He tapped his fingers on the desk as he waited for him to arrive. A few minutes later, he appeared in front of the desk with his arms folded across his chest.

“Is this really necessary? I really was busy,” Donald told him.

Sterling raised an eyebrow at him. “What were you doing?”

He looked away. “Nothing. I was out.”

Sterling stood up to go over to sniff him. “You were with a woman.”

Slonsky looked at him. “Is that a question or a statement?”

Sterling stepped closer to sniff him again. “You haven’t slept with her either.” He smirked. “And before you ask, both of them are statements.” He walked back to his seat. “Why haven’t you?”

Slonsky sighed and threw himself into a chair in front of it. “Because I haven’t.”

“Why?”

“What did you need?,” Slonsky snapped.

“Does she know you have someone?

Slonsky straightened up, eyeing him, “Do I have someone? I wasn’t aware that I did.”

Sterling raised an eyebrow. “I dare you to pretend like you don’t.

e to not see her

Slonsky kept his eyes on Sterling’s until he cursed under his breath and looked away. “What do you want from me? Do you want me again?”

“That’s exactly what I want.”

Slonsky looked back into his eyes. “Are you serious?”

Sterling nodded as he reached for a small folder. “Very,”

He handed the folder to Slonsky who opened it and looked over the top page inside, before looking up at him.

“What the fuck is this?”

Sterling leaned back in his chair. “Kalani has brought To

attention that Lily’s abuse may have been more rampant than what we thought. She wants

to know how far it went. Those are the files that Luis sent to Lukas. She asked me to hunt the doctors down.”

“Ok? So, what do you want me to do with this?” Sterling didn’t answer. Slonsky shut the folder. “Sterling? Why am I really here?”

“You were with a woman.” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Slonsky stood

up, putting the folder on the desk. “But you didn’t know that.”

“I didn’t like it.”

“You only come by on occasion. Why does it matter if I find somebody to be with?”

“Because you are mine.”

Slosnky’s hands listed at his sides. “We fuck, Sterling. That is it! At no point have either of us said that we were anything more than ”

“What are you doing, Sterling?”

Sterling pulled his belt off, before tugging his pants down. Slonsky pulled on his hair.

“This isn’t how this works.”

Sterling looked up at him as he started stroking his cock. He leaned forward to lick his tip and Slonsky’s hip pushed forward. Sterling’s mouth opened. and he took Slonsky’s whole length into it. His other hand went to massage his sack as Slonsky weaved his fingers through Sterling’s hair, moaning softly. He pushed helplessly into his mouth until Sterling pulled away to stand up. His hands went to his own pants to push them down. Slonsky took his cock in his hand as he turned around. Sterling reached out to stop him. Slonsky raised an eyebrow.

“What-”

Sterling bent over the desk, before reaching back to stroke Slonsky. “You’re fucking me this time.”

“Excuse me? We’ve never done that.”

You heard me. Come on.”

He spit on his own hand and put the saliva around his hole. Slonsky’s hand moved over his back, making him tremble. He positioned himself behind Sterling Sterling looked over his shoulder.

“It’s just

like fucking a woman. Push and-”

Slonsky pushed into him and his back arched. Sterling cried out as Slonsky pushed into him until he couldn’t anymore. He put his hands flat on the desk beside Sterling as he leaned down.

“What are you doing, Sterling?,” he whispered as he started moving slowly.

Sterling pushed back against him, moaning. Slonsky held him in place as his movements quickened. Sterling reached down to stroke his own cock to Slansky’s rhythm. He kissed down Sterling’s spine, before running his finger down it. Little burst of energy on his skin sent Sterling spiraling into his orgasm. Slonsky groaned as Sterling reached behind himself to claw down his chest. He tilted his head hack to shoot fire over the wounds. Slonsky slapped Sterling’s ass, before giving into his own earth shattering orgasm. Slonsky slowly pulled out of him and groaned. He ran his hand over his back again, before moving away.

“I do have to say you look good like that,” he said.

Sterling straightened up, reaching for his pants. “1 much rather prefer seeing you bent over waiting for me,”

“So, why do that then?”

“Will you handle this for me?,” he countered, unwilling to answer his question.

Slonsky buttoned his pants and put his belt back on. He ran his fingers over the claw marks on his chest.

“Did

| you mark me?”

“Kinda,”

Slonsky narrowed his eyes. “What the hell do you mean kind of?”

“It’s a promise of a true mark.”

He glared at him. “This looks almost identical to Odanya’s mark.”

Sterling tensed. “But it’s not,” he snapped. He grabbed Slonsky’s hand and put it to his face right in front of his ear. “Do you feel that scar? That is the start of a true mark. It connects the brain and the heart. The mark I gave you will fade if you don’t want me. A real mark won’t.”

Sterling dropped his hand as he stormed towards the door.

“Sterling, wait. I’m sorry.”

Sterling turned back to him. “I don’t want you to be with anybody else.”

“You can’t ask me not to be with someone else. I deserve-

Sterling stomped back over to him to kiss him angrily. “You deserve what I deserve. This is it. This is life, now,”

*Don’t I get a choice?”

Sterling traced the marks on his chest. “Then don’t want me and it will fade. The minute you make the choice not to be with me, it will go away. So, make your decision, but when you do, there will be no going back. All in or all out.”

Sterling turned back around to leave. He was on his way back to his room to break something when a scream had him sprinting towards Lily’s room. As he neared, he heard Sommer sobbing. He burst into the room and he froze. Sasha was trying to get Lily to move away from a wounded body. He inhaled and Magdon growled..

“Joy”

He walked over and shoved Aiden out of the way. He picked Lily up and handed her to Aiden who wrapped her up in his arms, keeping her from throwing herself hack over Joy. He bared his teeth at his daughter who held her hands up and hacked away. He knelt behind joy and began to lick over her skin. He quickly cleaned her back up, before turning her over. He barely registered Aiden spinning around in his peripherals as he started tending to her front. She whimpered and tried to coll.

Sasha hurried back to her side and put her hands on her shoulders. Aiden cursed and Sommer dashed to Sasha’s side to hold her up as her legs wobbled, Sterling focused on the whip marks that came around her ribs from her back, Sasha’s power flowed through her and sent electricity racing through him as he continued to work on healing her incerations. He ignored it until he was finished and finally pulled away.

“What the hell happened to her?”

“Wolfsbane and she was whipped.”

Joy moaned a little and Sasha cursed. “I can’t break the poison down. It was more than just wolfsbane.”

Sterling raised his wrist to his mouth as he opened Joy’s mouth. His teeth opened a small wound and he moved his wrist over her mouth. His blood slowed and he cursed. He let a finger shift into a talon before slicing his arm open. He tilted it down and let his blood roll into her mouth. His aura came out as he rubbed her throat with his other hand.

___”SWALLOW,” he yelled, panicked.

Joy swallowed and he kept feeding her his blood until she screamed. The smell of decay filled the air as green droplets welled up on her skin. Sterling stood upright to pick her up. He carried her into the shower and the minute the cold water hit her, she shook. Magdon breathed on it to make it heat faster as she opened her eyes. She looked wildly around for a moment, before her eyes settled on him. She raised her hand to touch his face.

“Sterling,” she whispered.

He leaned down to kiss her softly. “I got you.”

He repeatedly wiped the poison off of her skin as she muzzled into him. When no more poison oazed out of her skin, he shut the water off. He covered her with a towel, before walking out into the main room. Lily and Sommer rushed to her side.

“Mom,” they both cried.

Joy wrapped her arms around both girls, sobbing. “I never thought I would see you again.”

Sterling nodded his head at the girls and Sasha came over to gently untangle the three of them.

“Come on, girls. She’ll be okay now. She needs to rest. You can see her tomorrow.”

Sterling carried Joy out of the room. He set her on his couch, before kneeling at her feet to dry her off. She played with his hair.

“Thank you,” she murmured softly.

He was too angry to respond to her. He got up when she was dry to dry himself off in the bathroom. He put boxers on and grabbed one of his shirts to take to her. He helped her put it on, before picking her back up to carry to his bed. He climbed in next to her and pulled her back against his body.

“Sterling?”

“What, Joy?”

“Why are you angry?

He sat up and made her roll towards him. “Why didn’t you tell me you were in trouble? I would have”

She pressed her finger against his lips. “Because it wasn’t your problem.”

Magdon pushed forward, making him nip at her fingers. “You have no idea what I would do for you. Just because I left you there, doesn’t mean I didn’t want you.

She pulled back. “This is a bad idea.”

She tried to get up, but was forced back down when her legs gave out. He growled at her and she jumped.

“You want me, too,” he told her.

She shook her head. “I don’t-”

He yanked her back so that she was forced to straddle him. She gulped nervously. He lifted the shirt she wore up. His fingers moved over her skin where his temporary mark still graced her skin.

“It’s been three years, Joy, and you still bear my mark. So, tell me again how much you don’t want to be with me.”

“.. .. we can’t do this, Sterling. The girls-

He pulled her down to kiss her. “I’ve already been lied to once today, I won’t let it happen again. He at least has a chance. You lost yours.”

She melted into his kiss and he rolled her over. Her legs went around his waist and she began to grind against him. His lips trailed down her neck as he wiggled out of his boxers. She put her hands on his shoulders, making him pause. She sniffed his neck, before laying back. He leaned down to kiss her again and she moaned into his mouth as he rubbed his tip against her moistened folds

She lifted her hips, making him slide into her. He took her hands and put them beside her head. She rocked her hips to his, squeezing his cock with her pussy. She pulled one hand out of his to wrap around his neck. She jerked him lower to sink her teeth into his chest like he liked. He bucked wildly and Magdon released fire over her mark. She arched her back more as she clamped down on him harder. She let out a strangled moan as he spilled his seed into her. He collapsed beside her after pulling out. She rolled over on her side and moved back against him, taking his hand.

“Sterling, we need to focus on the girls right now. We can’t do this to them,” she whispered, linking their fingers together. “They need us. We have to help them get through this. We can’t be distracted.”

He buried his face in her neck. “They would be happy for us. They deserve to know.”

“Sterling, please.”

He growled, cutting her off. “I will give you a little time, loy, but my mind isn’t going to change. I want you. Stop running from me.”

She fell silent as her fingers moved over his skin. “We can’t-

“After Lily heals a little, I’m coming for you and if you still bear my mark, I will claim you.”

She rolled towards him and stroked his face. Her eyes moved over his face.

“It’s good to see your healing is going so well, Sterling.”

He blinked slowly. “What do you-”

She laughed quietly as she nuzzled into his chest. “You’re not the only shifter here. I can smell him on you.”

His arm went around her shoulders and pulled her closer. “And tell me, my beautiful Joy, how do you know what he smells like, since I know you know

who it is.”

She scratched his chest lightly. “He came to see me last year.” She hesitated. “It was a good night,” she said.

“Hmmmm. Interesting. Do you want him?”

“That’s none of your business.”

He chuckled softly and kissed her forehead. “Go to sleep, Joy. You need the rest.”

Magdon watched her from his eyes.

“She does, Magdan whispered. “And I bet he does, too.”

“Good. This is going to be easier t

than we thought.”
