HYBRID TIMBER 29

Eva's heart accelerated painfully in her chest and an immense joy invaded her, but Timber still had something to say, she didn't understand, she would accept without blinking, but he seemed to make a point of making his intentions clearer than they already were. That was his way and she loved him all the more for it.

— I know that you recently went through a traumatic situation involving marriage and to make you my partner I don't need a role, you already are because I marked you as mine. However, all human females like to have even a little ceremony and sign the marriage papers.

Timber ran his caressing fingers up and down her arm and kissed her shoulder.

“I will make sure that you are never unhappy and that you never lack for anything, material and immaterial. I would never be a bastard like Bruce. I will never hurt you. I will never allow anyone to hurt or disturb you, I would kill and die for you.

Eva shuddered at all those intense, strong, possessive words, words never spoken to her before him, that made her feel like the most desired, loved and luckiest woman in the world. He had said he loved her and she loved him too.

“I'm a hybrid male and we don't need to date a long time to know what we want. Just a second, a look and we know who our companions are and mine is you. Hybrids don't have the flaws of human males.

Eva couldn't resist a laugh.

- You're right. At least so far I haven't seen any attitude from you that comes close to any human male out there. You are superior without a doubt.

He felt heat flood his insides at her recognition.

- You make me happy. It's everything I've ever wanted. he declared.

“I don't think there's any doubt about my response to living with you. I just need a confirmation. She bit her lip, hesitating.

“As many confirmations as you want. He gave her an anxious look, glowing with hope.

"Will you ever regret it and want a divorce?" I'm not very interesting and you can get bored with time. — that was a real concern within her heart.

Timber growled in response, tightening his arms around her.

"I will never leave her!" There is no divorce for us, our connections are for life. Only death will be able to separate us and I pray to God that I die before you, because I would never tolerate something bad happening to you, I would die anyway.

Timber looked painedly into her eyes, the male's heart beating like a drum inside his chest, the intensity of his feelings for the female in his lap consuming him in a way that almost knocked him out of his mind.

Tears filled her eyes and she let it roll, her chin quivering. Timber kissed away every tear.

“I hope those are tears of happiness. he pleaded.

- And they are. —a look again into the canine eyes she found so beautiful, she saw the purest sincerity there.

“I don't want to see the others there. And I will do everything I can so that you are never sad.

- Yes, I'm sure. You are so wonderful, Timber... Do I deserve you? I'm afraid another woman will take her interest away from me.

— Are you jealous? He smiled inwardly.

“I feel jealousy and worry that you might want someone else.

- Never. Never. Hybrids are obsessed with the smell and taste of their mates and can't stand the touch of another female. No one is going to take my interest out of you. I love you.

She sighed in love.

"Does it scare you, knowing I could get hooked and not make it through a day without you?"

Eva shook her head.

- Not really. I don't want to spend any day without you either. And since we're being totally honest about everything, I need to tell you what was going on.

“I'm ready to listen.

“I wouldn't marry Bruce because I loved him and I wanted to.

“Your friend mentioned something about that.

— My mother lied to me, said she had a serious illness, cancer, and we're not rich, I earn very little where I work. So we were desperate not knowing what to do to pay for his treatment.

"Lay your head here while you talk to me." he murmured, leaning back against the sofa and bringing her head down to lie on his chest as he cradled her in his lap.

— She said she had a solution, I marry the son of the pastor of her church, in exchange they would pay for her treatment. I was a little reluctant but I love my mother so much I would do anything for her.

"She doesn't deserve your love." But I understand that it's impossible for you to stop loving the woman who gave you life.

- Yea. — she clung to him more — It was always all about appearances, I didn't expect Bruce to fall in love with me at all, but he started mistreating me, humiliating me and even hitting me.

Timber held her tighter and snarled angrily at the thoughts of the human asshole touching his preciousness. She smoothed his chest, calming him down but it didn't do much good, he wanted to take revenge on the male and he would do that, even if it was a spanking, he would beat the bastard.

— The day I met you, earlier, we were at a restaurant, he wanted to make me eat a salad, which I don't like, because he said I had to lose weight for the wedding.

“There's nothing wrong with your body. — he was indignant — It's perfect, soft, smooth and curvy. I adore your body.

Eva smiled into his chest.

- I believe you. He buried his nose in her head, sniffing her. He told me that when we got married, on our honeymoon, he was going to rape and hurt me on purpose. He knew I was a virgin because he demanded the bride to be. So I decided I would lose my virginity to any man, just to get it out of him. Besides, he had left me alone in the middle of a deserted road.

Eva felt her heart freeze for a few seconds when Timber's growl was louder. She was afraid that he would think badly of her because of this.
