The Girl He Marked

Chapter 23

Phoebe's POV.

I knock on the office door. I twist the handle and enter when Oberon calls out.

He is seated at his desk, but he stands up when I walk in. He smiles at me and opens his arms as a

silent invitation for me to come over. I cross the room in a few steps and step into his arms.

I wrap my arms around my waist as he holds me close to him. I rest my face on his chest and listen to

his steady heartbeat thumping in my ear.

'How did things go with your sister' He asks me.

He sits down and pulls me onto his lap, as if it is the most natural thing in the world.

'Good, thanks,' I reply. 'You probably have worked out that we don't have the easiest relationship in the

world.'

He shrugs, but I know he is just being polite. 'I sensed a little tension. Is it because you are twins Do

your parents compare you a lot'

I scrunch up my nose.

'I guess being twins doesn't help. They don't compare us, but I know that, recently, they have wished

that I acted more like Paige.'

'How have you been acting recently, then'

I can hear the curiosity in his voice, and I grimace. I'm not proud of who I have been the last few

months.

'I won't go into too much detail,' I tell him, knowing that he probably doesn't want to hear about my ex.

'But I had a very toxic relationship with Harrison. He controlled me and my life. It took weeks for me to

work up the courage to leave him and even longer to actually get out of his control.'

Oberon holds me tightly, his hands gripping me as though Harrison might barge in now and try to take

me away from him.

'I was…I guess, traumatized, from it all. My family wanted me to talk about it, but that made it worse for

me, which is perverse, I know. They've been nagging at me to see someone about it or to be with them

more, but I've been avoiding them.'

My mate's eyes soften, and he brushes my hair back from my face.

'Why have you been avoiding them Just so you didn't have to talk about it'

I shrug. 'Not just that. I guess I feel as though I've let them down in some way…I let myself down by

staying in that relationship for too long. I should have left at the first red flag. I feel as though I've

disappointed them.'

'I don't know your family, Phoebe, but I guarantee that you have not disappointed them.'

'I know it's irrational to think that way, but I've kinda been in my own head recently. Until I met you.

Marking me helped to clear things up in my mind.'

He grins at me. 'Glad I could help.'

'You know.' I turn towards him, straddling his lap and hooking my arms around his neck. 'You could help

me in other ways.'

'Oh, yeah Like how'

I smirk at him. 'Sexually.'

He smirks back at me. 'I'm sure I can.'

His lips meet mine in a passionate kiss. I kiss him ardently, tangling my fingers in his hair and grinding

on his lap.

He growls at the back of his throat and pushes his tongue into my mouth, deepening the kiss. I tug on

his hair and bite his bottom lip. Our tongues collide and rub against each other, building us up into a

frenzy.

In a fumbled blur of hands and clothes, we strip each other of our clothing. All that remains is Oberon's

shirt and my bra, but he disposes of that quickly.

Stark naked on his lap, he helps me line his cock up with my entrance and sink down onto him. I moan

at the exquisite feeling of him filling me. There's some mild discomfort but it vanishes as soon as I start

moving.

Bracing myself with my hands on his shoulders, I start riding him on the chair. He grunts and throws his

head back. He holds my hips, helping me lift myself up and down.

We both moan at the feeling of him sliding in and out of my pussy. It's indescribable.

'Oberon,' I moan his name. 'I'm going to come.'

He buries his face in my neck and licks one of my marks. 'Then, come for me, little mate.'

He sinks his teeth into my neck just as my orgasm hits. The euphoria is so intense that it blurs my

vision. I give up trying to see and close my eyes, riding the pleasurable waves that wash through me.

He comes shortly after, releasing inside me as he moans my name. We remain in each other's arms,

savoring this moment.

'I'm so happy that you stumbled onto my territory,' my mate says with a chuckle. 'Even if you were

hangover.'

'I'm happy I did too, it could have been much worse.'

'Are you okay, now I can arrange for you to see the pack therapist.'

'I'm honestly fine. But, if I do feel anxious about something, I promise to take you up on that offer,' I

mumble into his neck.

'Thank you. Your happiness is my priority, Phoebe.'

Could he be any cuter

'I want you to meet my parents,' I tell him. 'They're crazy, but they will be dying to meet you when I

finally tell them, I know it.'

He chuckles and rubs my back. 'I'd love that.'

Just under a week later, we pull up in front of my parents' house. Paige is already there and has been

texting me. She's been trying to calm Mum down, who is bursting with excitement.

She's been waiting for the day that we meet our mates and now, one of us finally has. And it's me, the

twin who we all thought would be the last to meet their mate.

'I want to warn you that my parents might be really intense and cringing, okay They're so excited about

me meeting you,' I tell Oberon as we get out of the car.

The front door flies open.

'Goddess, Noelle, watch the hinges!' I hear Dad's voice, closely followed by a shriek that can only be

from my mother.

'My baby!' She cries. 'You have a mate!'

She runs across the drive towards me. Luckily, I have enough time to drop my bags and open my arms

to her. She pulls me into a death—grip hug that has me gasping.

'I've missed you so much,' she cries in my ear.

Oh no, the waterworks have started.

'And you must be Oberon!' She turns her attention to my mate and releases me. I inhale deeply,

drawing air back into my lungs. 'It's so lovely to meet you! Thank you for looking after my baby.'

Oberon smiles politely and hugs my mum back when she pulls him into her arms.

'It's lovely to meet you too, Mrs. Moretti.'

'Call me Noelle! And this is my mate, Xaden.'

Dad comes over and offers out his hand. He changes his mind last minute and pulls Oberon into a hug,

surprising my mate.

'Thank you for looking after her,' I hear him say to my mate.

'Let's go inside! Paige has made lunch for us all.'

Five minutes later, we're all sat around the table together.

'Cheers to family!' Mum says, holding up her glass.

'Let's hope, the next time we're together, Paige has her mate too. You're identical twins, you won't be Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

that far apart in meeting your mates.'

Mum is right and Paige knows it, too. There's a glint of excitement in my twin's eyes. She knows that

she's going to meet her mate soon and, unlike how I was, I know she is very much looking forward to it.
