Chapter 403 – Mindy And Gideon (1) [Bonus Chapter]

When Mindy approached the cabin, she picked up the scent of lavender that was even better than the one in the garden.

Mindy always loved lavender, but this was so good that it was nearly addictive. She hoped that this is the scent that the Shaman can pack into a scented pouch or some other container so that she takes it with her. She was ready to pay!

Mindy made her way into the cabin through the door that was wide open, and she saw Talia's back, but what really got her attention was the most exquisite man she ever laid her eyes on.

Was that the Shaman? That man was not old. He was a dreamboat!

Did Talia say that his name is Gideon? It didn't matter because Mindy already decided to call him Daddy in the bedroom.

Gideon's mature appearance complimented his muscular physique, but above all, she was attracted to his eyes. His light brown eyes reminded her of sugar cookies, that were warm and melting in the mouth with just the right amount of sweetness, but below that yumminess, she heard whispers of wisdom and passion and Mindy could imagine him pillaging her insides.

Was she getting aroused because he was looking at her? Unbelievable!

But then something even more unbelievable happened and Mindy heard a voice in her head, "Mate".

Her breath hitched. Did she hear that right?

Mindy's legs moved on autopilot, her every step created an illusion of the world disappearing, leaving only the man in front of her and the path to reach him. He was a stranger, yet there was an air of familiarity around him. It was fantastic.

In the back of her mind, Mindy was aware that she came here with a purpose, and that there was someone else present. Was it important? It felt like it… almost. But the closer she got to Gideon, the more she was confident that her goal in life was the man in front of her, and that if she thinks about anything else, it would be a mistake.

Mindy touched his cheek, just above his neatly trimmed beard, and jerked upon contact. Sparks. Sparks of their bond.

Mindy couldn't believe it. She finally found him. Her mate.

Gideon's hands landed on her waist, and she thought that he will kiss her, but he lifted her up and the next thing Mindy knew… she was sitting on the dining table with Gideon standing between her legs.

That was hot!

Gideon closed his eyes and took a deep breath and his smile told her that he approved. Mindy heard how mates recognize each other by the specific scent that only mates can sense, and she knew that Gideon's scent for her was lavender. Mindy wondered, how does she smell to him?

Gideon glanced at Mindy's lips, silently asking for permission to kiss her, and she smiled in response.

Gideon couldn't believe that this was happening. He was waiting for his mate for so long, and he wondered if the Moon Goddess decided to leave him mateless.

And then Mindy walked in.

His mate.

Gideon believed that the Moon Goddess knew what she was doing, and this girl with chestnut-colored hair was just what he needed, but… he wished that she was older.

It was more than fifty years how a girl in her twenties aroused his interest, but then he picked up her crisp scent of pumpkin, and the pants in his crotch area tightened. Incredible!

Yes, as a Shaman, he knew very well that pumpkin is an aphrodisiac, but this girl in front of him was an aphrodisiac that was made exclusively for him.

Gideon leaned closer and hummed when their lips connected.

The sparks were there, confirming that he didn't get it wrong. She was his mate.

Mindy kissed him back shyly, and he wondered if she was inexperienced. In the next moment, he could feel her emotions through the mate bond, and he understood that she wanted him to take charge.

Gideon's hand landed at the back of her head, trapping Mindy between his palm and his lips and he deepened the kiss, her flavors of pumpkin made him crave for more, and her arousal told him that she liked it.

Mindy was dizzy. Yes, it was just a kiss, but it came with lavender and addictive sparks, and she ended up tugging on his shirt, wanting to undress him so that she can explore freely his muscular body that was not concealed by his clothes.

Just when she got to the good part of getting her hands under his shirt, Gideon grabbed her wrists, preventing her from proceeding to feel him out.

"What?", Mindy asked breathily.

"Your name."

His deep voice reverberated in her body, sending a wave of heat at the cradle of her thighs.

Mindy couldn't believe it. Even his voice was sexy!

"Mindy."

Gideon narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew everyone from the Dark Howlers pack, and he definitely knew who the guests were in the packhouse. Considering that Mindy came with Talia, it was not difficult to guess… "From the Blue River pack?"

Mindy confirmed. "Is that a problem?"

"No.", he said right away. "No matter who you are, to me, you are Mindy, my mate."

Normally, Mindy hated guys who would claim their mate like claiming possessions, but at that moment she was aroused, and he was right there, and he smelled great, and somehow… it sounded right, so she didn't complain.

He kissed the inside of her palms and then he kept her hands down before saying, "Mindy, I am…"

"Gideon.", she said impatiently. "The Shaman of the Dark Howlers pack. I know. Now, can we continue?"

"Why are you in a hurry?"

Mindy glanced at his crotch area. "Look who is talking."

"I am talking.", Gideon said with amusement in his voice. "That guy down there has a mind on his own." He pinched her chin with his index finger and the thumb and lifted her head so that she looks into his face. "As my mate, you should learn some patience."

Mindy pressed her lips into a line and looked at him defiantly. She knew that Shamans are wise men who think before they act, but is he really going to give her behavioral lessons instead of mind-blowing sex?

"If you want me to listen to you, you will need to prove that the guy down there is for more than just stretching your pants."

"If you think that I will please my mate just with my cock, you are in for a surprise, princess."

Mindy's insides shook. Did he think that his words will make her calm down? It was the opposite!

"Show me.", Mindy demanded.

Gideon ran his thumb over her lower lip. "What did I say?"

Mindy swallowed hard. What did he say? Oh, yes… "Patience." She let out a long breath. "Are you really going to take this slow?"

"I waited for you for a long time, Mindy.", Gideon said and this time she could feel the anguish and loneliness seeping into her through their mate bond.
