The Beast And The Blessed

Forty-Three: Joselin

Joselin's P.O.V.

I did.

I just fucking bit him like an animal, and as I licked my lips of his blood, I wanted to do it again. There was something so hot, so primal about seeing my bite on his neck. Not knowing if it would stay as his mark on me had or if I would have to do it again and again had me pressing my thighs together.

"Yes," I whispered, feeling a drop of his blood fall from my chin and land on the white lace of my dress over my breasts.

"Just when I thought you couldn't get any sexier." He mumbled, rubbing his thumb along my chin and the mess I was sure was there. "You marked me.

How..."

The amazement in his voice seemed to match what I was feeling because I didn't think either of us believed it would be possible. Only a wolf or Lycan had ever marked their mate. I had never heard of any other species having that option. Then again, I also believed that male witches weren't possible until one popped up out of the blue.

There were so many things that I didn't know about the world, and the more I learned, the more excited it made me.

"You should go to the healers." The words felt like poison coming out of my mouth.

The healers were incredible; they had cared for me so many times, most recently to heal my broken ribs after our little excursion to Rona's house. Their magic was unique and strong, something worthy of being protected.

Tobias let out a growl, his hands gripping my hips firmly to keep me in front of him as I attempted to step away. Even under the light of the full moon, he looked dark and feral. So dangerous and sexy that it almost hurt to look at him.

"I just mean so they can see if it is real or if I just bit my mate like a fucking cannibal." The taste of his blood in my mouth made me feel uneasy the longer it was there.

While I was proud of the mark on his neck, the feeling conflicted with my natural instinct to be disturbed by what I had just done.
