“Are you kidding? Allie, baby. You are my mate. I will be by your side no matter what. Whoever comes at you comes at me. You are my life.”
Marc’s words opened the floodgate of tears she had been trying like hell to hold back. He grabbed a few tissues from the box on the end table and handed them to her. Not saying another world, he held her until she passed out in his arms.

Allie wokea few hours later with Marc still holding her. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to fall asleep on you,” she said, trying to scoot off of him.
“Don’t be silly,” he said, holding her.
“You’re a good man, Marc,” she said, glancing into those stunning green eyes of his. Heat pooled in her core. His nostrils flared. She felt his erection pressing against her backside.
“Allie …” Marc said, his voice filled with lust.
She reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling his lips down to meet hers. There absolutely was something between them, and she wanted to find out exactly what it was.
His lips closed over hers. His kiss was light at first. His lips were warm and soft and made her want so much more. She moaned into his mouth, and he took advantage of that opening to slide his tongue into her mouth.
Sweet Jesus, he poured every emotion he had into that kiss, making love, slowly and sweetly, to her mouth. His tongue slid against hers and retreated. His hands were everywhere at once, caressing and massaging every inch of her body. He knew exactly where she wanted to be touched before she even knew.
Allie was surprised by how well he knew her body. It clearly was not the first time they had been together. She wanted to forget all about her missing memories for a bit. Or the fact that they were mates, and she just couldn’t remember any of it. She wanted this big hunk of a man more than anything at that moment.
“Baby?” Marc said, but it was more of a question. Like, was she sure that she really wanted to do this … right here and right now …
“Yes. Please. I just want to forget all of my problems for now, and I have the feeling you could make me forget if the world was about to end.”
“You’re certain?” he asked again, making sure she knew what she was getting herself into.
“Absolutely,” she said.

MARC
Marc could hardly believe that Allie wanted him, even without her memories. He had only wanted to be there to comfort her … to help her figure out the mess they were in. He would have been happy to hold her all night long while she slept, but she had woken up wanting him.
He checked and double-checked to make sure that he was really what she had wanted, and it was. He stood with her in his arms, eliciting a squeal of delight out of her. Carrying her back to the bedroom, he pulled the comforter down and laid her on top of the sheets.
“It’s so weird that you know your way around my house and know where everything is.”
“I’ve spent a lot of time here this past week, baby. But I have to ask you one more time.”
“A triple check?” she giggled.
“Exactly.” He didn’t want to push her into anything before she was one hundred percent ready for it. Even if they had already made love a few dozen times since they had become mates.
Allie lifted her hips and shimmied out of her jeans and underwear. “I’m positive.” She sat up, pulled her sweater over her head, and threw it across the room along with her bra.
“Well, then …” Marc kicked off his boots and ditched his jeans quicker than he would have ever thought possible. Next was his T-shirt. His cock jutted out proudly for her viewing pleasure.
She sucked in a deep breath. “Oh, my!” she chewed on her bottom lip. “If you really are my mate, then the fates truly have blessed me.” She patted the bed, motioning him to join her.
She didn’t have to ask him twice. He laid on his side, and his fingers danced a trail over her heavy breasts and down her stomach before working their way back up to her breasts. He cupped one at a time. Leaning over, he kissed and sucked each of her nipples, turning them into hard peaks.
“Mmm,” she moaned. Her hand went straight for his cock. She wrapped her fingers around his length and squeezed.
It took all of his willpower not to come right there in her hand. Biting the side of his cheek until he tasted blood, he willed himself to calm down. Though they had made love many, many times, he had to prove himself all over again because she couldn’t remember a single second of their previous times together.
He kissed a path down the valley between her breasts to her stomach. Circling her belly button with his tongue, he dipped it inside before continuing his path to the juncture between her legs.
