Alpha’s Badass Mate novel

---- Happy moments Sam just hums, but his free hand comes to entangle with Monika before raising it to his mouth to kiss every digit. Sam doesn't declare his love casually , like Monika ; instead , he shows it through his actions . Monika is used to it; she actually anticipates Sam's affectionate touches and thoughtful actions. She's addicted to it and expects it to be a part of her life every day. How will she live without Sam around to dote on him, touch him, and love him?

Eventually , Sam goes back to cooking, and the sound of the knife against the chopping block soothes Monika's swelling chest. She hums along to it, periodically kissing whatever part of Sam he can get, and Monika lets him. Monika clings to him and kisses his cheeks, neck, and shoulders as he cooks. Or he tries to... Monika can't cook, but she can see that Sam is not getting a lot of cooking done. He's been chopping the same carrot for the last fifteen or so minutes. Understandable...

After all, Monika was distracting him with smooches, playing with his fingers and wrist, and drawing circles across his belly. Monika wants to be kissed , held, and coddled more ---- than she wants to eat. So, she turns off the stove and whirls Sam around before pressing him into the empty space by it. Monika is impatient , naughty, and spoiled, and Sam is so indulgent, so giving, and so loving.

Whatever Monika wants, he will give because it is in his nature to be giving and to love wholeheartedly and selflessly. Because Sam has his Monika now, he can afford to give in to Monika. And so, Sam gives in.

He lets Monika crowds him against the marble counter and has his wicked with her right there against the counter where Monika food is prepared and cooked every day; where Sam sneaks out to get his water and snacks; where Monika can see every time she walks into her penthouse and be reminded of Sam mouth against her neck. Monika will have to learn how to cook, so she has more excuses to be in the kitchen. When Monika comes, she's lying on the soft, velvet couch in the living room.

Sam's hefty thighs are supporting her head, and his deft fingers are stroking her cheeks. She feels so good; she really wants to stop this time and live with her mate like this her whole life. ---- "Hi," Monika says, her voice shaky and raw, and Sam's smile is broad and blinding. She feels her cheeks heating up and quickly pushes up to kiss her boyfriend. Her stomach growls again, and Sam laughs again into her mouth.

Her hunger is getting in the way of getting kisses, and Monika lets out a noise of frustration , and she pouts really hard, which makes Sam smile even more. "I made dinner," Sam tells her, pushing Monika into a sitting position. "You're so good to me," Monika says, raising her arms up as Sam slides a shirt over her head. Sam hums as he buttons the shirt and rolls up the sleeves for Monika. It's warm and oversized, reaching to the middle of his thighs.

It's probably Sam's shirt, considering the fact that the other is walking around shirtless. Sam has always liked seeing Monika wear his shirts, so it's understandable that he'd put Monika in his. "Thank you," she continues, moving to get up only to get pushed down again. "Wait here," Sam tells her, kissing the crown of Monika. "I'll come back with our food." Monika really stays this time and watches him go.

She ---- will stay and wait, Monika thinks, as long as Sam asks her to, as long as Sam promises to come back. She will wait for Sam to come back to her, however long it takes. Eventually, they make it to the bed. Her room is... The maids took the liberty to decorate his bedroom with fairy lights and rose petals. On the bedside table, there are two tall candles burning on ornate candlesticks that Monika hasn't caught sight of in nearly ten years.

There's also a pretty flower vase behind them and a box of condoms tied off with an obnoxiously pink bow. Sam is looking at Monika with a brow raised in amusement now, and Monika is looking everywhere but at him. She is really going to complain to her uncle this time. "We have to clean that up before we can use the bed," Sam says, then bites his lips when Monika turns to look at him. Monika just stares dumbly for a bit more and suggests, "Or we can use the desk." Sam's mouth falls open; he takes half a step forward, then stops, licks his lips, then glances at the desk.
