"Dance for me.", Talia demanded, and Damon's eyebrows shot up, but his smirk told her that he was ready for this.
"In this outfit, I probably need a dancing pole.", Damon said.
Talia was not sure what a dancing pole was, but… "I'm sure you can manage. Do your best, my Alpha."
The last shreds of Damon's uncertainty dissipated when Talia called him hers and he knew that she forgave him, but she wanted a show, and he was ready to give her one. He said that he will do anything to make her happy and he was eager to prove it.
"Watch carefully, kitten… your man will dance for you.", Damon said while pushing himself away from the bed.
He went to the side table and got the remote. After two seconds of silence, drums sounded from the built-in speakers in the ceiling, and Damon started swaying his hips at the slow sultry song that filled the space.
It was the song "Leave the door open" by Bruno Mars.
"What you doing? Where you at?…"
Talia didn't recognize the lyrics, but Damon was singing.
"I'm sipping wine, in a robe… I look too good, to be alone…"
Talia agreed with this one. He was not wearing a robe, but he looked too good even in that ridiculous babydoll that was a few sizes too small for him.
It was a song from a man to a woman, telling her that he was waiting for her to come, and Talia thought how this was quite appropriate for their current situation. How long was Damon planning for this?
Damon spun swiftly three times and then his arms went high up above his head. After a moment of stillness, his torso swayed in wavy motions, and his hips rocked outrageously, making Talia's cheeks heat just by looking at him, but she couldn't look away.
"You're so sweet, so tight, I won't bite, unless you like…"
Damon winked at this last part and Talia stifled a giggle.
The prideful Alpha was wearing female nightwear and dancing, only to ease her hostility, and… it was working.
"Don't keep me waiting, there's so much love we could be making…"
Everything about the song and Damon's performance was melting Talia's resistance and she forgot why she was angry in the first place.
As the song progressed, Damon was inching closer to the bed, and he extended his hand to Talia while singing, "I'm here just waiting for you. Come on over, I'll adore you…"
Talia had no idea at what point she placed her hand into his.
Damon yanked her out of the bed, and she landed into his embrace. The two of them danced to, "you want me like I want you".
Talia relished the feeling of Damon's body pressing on hers and the whole experience was enhanced by the sparks of their bond as they moved in unison.
Talia was only in her panties, and he didn't wear much more either, but there was one problem.
"Can you remove this thing? It looks ridiculous.", Talia said while hooking her index finger at the hem of the babydoll. She will never figure out how he managed to squeeze in there without ripping it.
Damon cocked an eyebrow. "You want it gone. Undress me."
Talia took this as a challenge. She gripped the fabric with both hands and with a light tug, it came apart where her nails dug into it, transforming a sexy babydoll into tatters.
Damon smirked. "Are you so impatient to have me and you can't spare a second to undress me properly?"
Talia looked up to him and her brows came together as the song ended and she remembered how they found themselves in the current situation.
"Is Nora the last one?"
Damon's playful face fell. "Yes."
"If any other of your exes appear, I don't want to see them close to you."
"Consider it done."
Talia's frown eased, but her expression was stern. "I mean it, Damon. Keep them away and don't expect me to clean your mess. You are mine and I have no intention of sharing you. If another woman gets so close with an intention to seduce you, I won't be so forgiving."
Damon's heart soared. First, this meant Talia forgave him, and second… she was claiming him as hers.
Damon cupped Talia's cheeks with his palms. "I will never accept any other woman. I am yours, and always will be. Tomorrow I will announce to the people at the party that you are my mate, and after that, everyone will know that if a woman thinks about getting close to me, she will mess with a mated Alpha."
Talia's eyes widened. "When you put it that way, it makes me think that those women will start targeting me so that you lose your mate."
"Only an idiot would think about going after Luna, but no matter what, I will do everything in my power to keep you safe, kitten. My wolf will do the same."
Talia couldn't speak for her wolf, and she wondered if she needs to wait for the beast to awaken before they could confirm if conditions were met for Damon to mark her. Talia had a feeling that once Damon marks her, their bond will be strengthened and no one will be able to stand between them, but until then… "And I will keep you safe, Damon."
At the same time, Damon leaned lower, and Talia got on her toes, and they sealed their vows with a kiss that reminded them that they were nearly naked.
Talia tugged on his underwear with impatience, and Damon smiled into the kiss.
He reached for her behind and scooped her up and Talia's legs wrapped around his waist.
Talia gasped when his erection pressed at the cradle of her thighs, and her whole body shook when Damon kissed the base of her neck, the place where his mark will come. Under Damon's touch, Talia's whole body was sensitive, but that spot on her neck was extra sensitive.
Without breaking the kiss, Damon walked to the bed with Talia in his arms and he lowered her gently with him hovering on top of her. His hands moved to her hips and his fingers gripped her panties.
Talia thought that he will rip them, but he didn't.
Damon slowly removed the garment down her legs, and he inched away to observe her naked perfection.
Damon's hands landed on Talia's thighs and moved lower. He stopped at her knees and then pulled her lower until her buttocks were at the edge of the bed.
Talia was not sure what he was doing. He just brought her to bed, and now he was pulling her to fall off?
When the movement stopped, Talia looked down and her eyes widened at the sight of Damon who was kneeling between her legs.
