Are You My Mate? (Denai) novel Chapter 22

He smiles as we walk up the steps to his house. I can tell that no one is home because the lights are out and it looks alone. He walks me past his room to another side of his house, and up to a big wooden door with what looks like stones and crystals and a golden doorknob, but who knows if they're real. (I don't even think that the golden doorknob is real)

I look around when we go inside and it looks like a little apartment. "This is cute, is this like your secret clubhouse or getaway room?" He laughs. "No, this is a room I set up for you, so that you will always be with me" ''You can spend time here with me and I won't have to sneak off to be with you"

I start to cry. "You want to keep me locked away to be your little secret,?" "Just until I get everything settled, baby, I need you with me," "Don't be selfish Deni," he cries. "Dean... I" "Please baby, then I could see you everyday,"

"Maybe I could come once a week" "Thank you baby," he says as he gets on his knees to hug me. "I already have you some clothes here" "I went shopping for you, because I know what you like and I had seen your size"

"How long have you planned this?" I ask as I look through the clothes, which is mostly pajamas. "Ever since you started talking about giving us a break" "You say that you love me, but it seems so hard for you wait for me,''

"It just hurts so much to think of not having you, that I prefer to leave than to have to watch you happily mated to another" I say as I start to tear up yet again. ''I won't be happily mated to anyone but you," he says with dark eyes, trying to keep his wolf under control.

"Come change into your night clothes, then we'll sleep" he says after he pecks my lips. "I'm sleeping here?" "We're sleeping here baby" I don't say anything, I only look at him because I don't know how to tell him that I don't like this idea.

I change and so does he, into a pair of pajamas he has brought for himself. (Maybe he wants to feel like we are in our own place, even though my home is free from parents and anyone else) I have an occasional visit from my friends, and my house keeper has seemed to stop coming around much too.

I don't know why we changed into pajamas because we slept naked. He kept making love to me all night. I don't know how many times he woke me up, but I got up each time. (I'm afraid of what he would do if I don't, since he doubts my love for him)

I smile as he caresses my cheek and I blink my eyes open. "Deni I love you and the thought of losing you has me worried, especially since your friends keep trying to separate us" He says before he sticks me with something and I fall asleep.

"Dean, where are you?!" I yell after I wake up and I don't see him. I try to get out of the door but I can't. I start to cry because I can't believe he did this to me. I cry myself to sleep and I wake up to him kissing my cheek. "Wake up beautiful lets eat" he whispers.

"Get me out of here, Dean," I say as I sit up. "I can't have you leaving me Deni," "You keep talking about giving us a break and your meddling friends are trying to convince you too," "I would never leave you for more than a week" His eyes get bigger and darker.

"Dean... sometimes I don't see you for weeks" I say to calm him. "No, the longest I've ever gone was five days, not weeks baby!" he says as he grabs my arms. "I promised that I wouldn't leave you and it would just be a vacation"

"You should only want to go with me," "I would love to, but you know we can't" "Maybe I can get us our own cabin" "Only if I can freely come and go like I want" I say hoping he wont try to keep me captive here. ''You'll get to see me everyday like this baby," "But what about my job,?" I ask as I start to feel claustrophobic.

''You can go some days, not that you need to" "Well then let me out," "Not today" "I want to spend a few days here just us, then you can go home and you'll come back in a few days" ''But your ceremony is in a few days and I don't want to be locked in here all that time" "You won't baby" he says as he grabs my hand to kiss it.
