Ryan's POV
I signaled her my index finger before leaving my room.
I walked over to her house and made my way up to her room, but not before I was stopped my Rachel, Melissa's mom.
"Hello Ryan, how was your day?" She said, while walking from the kitchen with a dirty apron.
"Good, good. I just came to see how you girls are settling in..." I said, trying to not make it seem like I was only here to see my mate, though, from the look on her face, I knew she knew the truth about why I was here.
"You know, you don't have to lie to me. I once was your age, and had my mate. I remember what it felt like always wanting to be with them." She said, and though he voice sounded off teasing, it ended up sounding pained, just like Victor's had. I reacted without thinking and I hugged her. She wrapped her arms around me gently. This was my mate's mother, she treated her well and took care of her, I owed my life to this woman as much as I owed my life to my mate if ever need be.
"Things will get better, Rachel." I said, while pulling away after a few seconds. She had tears on the brim of her eyes. She nodded and smiled weekly at me.
"Alrighty, let's not keep my daughter waiting. Have a nice visit Ryan, and you're welcome to stay for dinner if you'd like." She said, while clearing her voice of any traces of sadness.
"Thanks." I said, and then she turned and went back towards the kitchen. As I was going up the stairs to Mel's room, I couldn't help but think that, Rachel and Victor would make a perfect couple, I mean I know they're are not each other's mates, but maybe just as a friend, or even girlfriend/boyfriend.
All of these thoughts momentarily dissaperead from my mind the second I saw Mel standing in her doorway. I ran to her the moment my foot made contact on the last step. I picked her up into my arms, only to be rewarded with her cute little chuckle.
"Ryan, put me down." I held onto her a second more before doing as she asked. She looked up at me with something in her eyes, that I had already seen before, it was love, and I could feel my heart swell twice in size at the thought of knowing that, my little mate, loved me.
"Hey." I said, without even trying to hide my goofy smile on my face. She smiled brilliantly back at me.
"Hey." She said a little breathless.
"Thank you for the note." She said, reaching on her tip toes to give me a light kiss on the lips. I was so caught up in the light kiss that it took me a second to realize, I had no idea what she was talking about. I pulled away, while still holding her close.
"Why don't we go in my room?" She asked, shyly. I smiled at her while she pulled out of my arms walked into her bedroom. She went and sat on her bed and I followed after her, sitting beside her on the foot of her bed.
I pulled her into my lap, earning myself another small girlish giggle.
"What has you all giggly tonight?" I asked, while kissing the top of her head. This is what I meant by just being with my mate, just holding her and being with her was all I wanted.
"I'm just so happy you're back, your note helped a little as well." She said, while kissing my cheek and leaning more into my chest.
This caught my attention, what note was she talking about?
"What note?" I asked. She stopped kissing my cheek and looked at me curiously.
"The note you wrote to me... right?" She asked, looking a little worried, maybe even hurt. Why would she be hurt, did someone hurt my mate? My wolf was growing angry, and I could almost say the same for myself.
"I'm sorry little mate, but I really don't have a clue of what you're talking about." I said, while watching her expression, the last thing I wanted was to hurt her. She wiggled out of my hold and I let her go, she went to her desk and retrieved the small piece of paper that I saw her looking at earlier.
You're so beautiful, Luna.
When I read those words, I couldn't help but feel anger boil in me.
"What's wrong Ryan? You wrote it ..... didn't you?" She asked, not sounding sure of herself anymore. I felt my wolf coming out, who dare send this note to my mate?! Whoever did knew she was my mate, if not why call her Luna?
I began to shake with sudden anger and protectiveness over my mate. She took the note from my hands and replaced the note with her hands. She stood in front of me, trying to catch my eye but I was simply to far gone to respond.
Who the hell was it?!?!?!?!!?
I couldn't get this question out of my head, but when I found out, he was going to find out, that my mate is off limits. They were going to find out that, you do not go around flirting with my mate!My wolf had started taking control, I couldn't control my anger and I could feel the familiar shiver of heat run up and down my spine, only meaning one thing, I was ready to shift.
And I was about to then and there but it wasn't until I felt her warm, soft lips on mine that I finally reacted to what she was trying to do.
Before I knew what my wolf was doing, he had shifted moods to angry, to possessive and dominant.
I grabbed Melissa, who was standing in front of me now, wrapped my arms her waist and layed back down while pulling her on top of me. She gasped lightly but I quickly stopped her gasp by smashing my lips to hers.
I flipped us over once I had dragged us both farther up the bed so I feet were also on the bed. She layed underneath me, with her arms wrapped around my neck and her fingers in my hair, pulling at my hair randomly. I growled when she did this, and again I was rewarded with her cute little giggle. I moaned into her mouth, begging her for entrance but she still refused. I pushed my hips into hers which caused a small hearty gasp, I took my chance and began my intimate dance with her. She quickly responded, which helped calm my wolf.
After several more minutes of this, we finally seperated, her gasping for air, and me simply taking small breaths as I kissed down her neck, stopping at the spot I gave her the hickey on our first date. I sighed, remembering that evening, the first time I heard her moan my name, made her cum, amazed her....
"I love you, Ryan." She said, while clutching my head closer to her neck. She didn't moan or gasp it out, she said it completely sober.
I stopped my kissing and pulled away gently so I can be looking into her eyes.
"I love you too, Melissa." She smiled and pulled me to her once again, not to kiss, but to simply hold each other, I had my arms wrapped around her waist and she was clutching my head to her chest. It was not sexual, but sensual in the deepest of ways.
Our embrace had calmed both me and my wolf down in all ways.
I lifted my head, still keeping her arms wrapped around my head, to stare into her deep soulful eyes. Her eyes held a smile that took my breath away,without having any restraint I kissed her once again,lightly on the lips.
She pulled away, except the look in her eyes made me curious. She had mischief in her eyes, and I couldn't but wonder what my little seductress was planning.
"What?" I asked, she giggled and rolled out from under me. I watched her get up from the bed and pick up the note from the foot of the bed.
" I think, I'm going to keep this note. Whoever wrote it must like me very much..." I didn't allow her to finish her teasing words. I stood before her, staring down at her. She wanted to play with the wolf? The wolf was who she was going to get.
"Oh, Melissa, you love to play with my head don't you? Well I guess it's fair, I love playing with you." I saiid, while taking small steps even more so closer to her, until finally she started backing away, all the way into her closet door, where I put both my arms around her head, blocking any chance of escape for her.
She gulped, and smiled again, though it was not as sure at first as it was just 5 seconds ago.
"Aw, someone's jealous? I'm sorry." She said, with pleading eyes that were so tempting to forgive.But my wolf wouldn't allow it, my wolf was teased, was mocked, and out little mate must be punished!
"Too late, sweetheart." I smirked at her.
"What do you mean?" She said, with a slight quiver in her voice, and as I inhaled, I couldn't help but notice the light scent of arousal and sweat mixed together. So she was both aroused and nervous..... wonderful. I felt my wolf leap forward, just itching at me to mark her, and she seemed to notice bye the light blush that crept to her cheeks.
"Kids supper!" Rachel yelled up to us from downstairs, I lowered one arm, allowing her to leave. She started to walk away, trying to hide the blush that crept onto her face, but I had saw it. She walked with a light sway in her hips, I knew it was not forced, but daring. She was now daring me?! My God, she was really asking for it wasn't she?
"You should be getting home? Perhaps go have dinner with some friends? Andrew I'm sure wouldn't mind eating with you." She said while turning around, inches away from her bedroom door. She said so a little rushed and for a second I was hurt that she trying to get rid of me, especially after just spending the day apart. But when I saw the heat in her eyes, I knew why. She was trying to fight her urges.
I growled and pulled her against me and couldn't help but enjoy the soft moans that was coming from her luscious mouth. She leaned into my touch instincitvely and I was instantely filled with male pride at her actions and reactions.
"Don't fight those urges sweetie, I'm planning on doing that enough for the both of us. And, why would I eat with friends when my mate's mother invited me over for supper?"I asked, my words seemed to make her aware of the sounds she was making and she instantly shot away from me.
She stared at me for a second lustfully, before gulping. I smirked in response.
Andrew's POV
I lead my mate to the restaurant that had our reservations. Ashley didn't look me in the eyes, after I spoke of "my inner beast", though she didn't pull her hand away from mine, which was always a good sign.
She seemed happy when we arrived at the restaurant, being as a wide smile appeared on her face the second I opened the door.
"I love this place!" She said, spinning around towards me, rewarding me with a beautiful smile.
"Glad to hear it." I said, with a returning smile.
I pulled her towards the pedestal where we were suppose to wait to be greeted. The moment we stepped foot towards the pedestal a male waiter, my age, greeted us and he couldn't seem to take his eyes off her. I was about to snap at him, but before I could, Ashley was talking.
"Jarred? Long time, no see!" She said, before removing her hand from mine and hugging him. I growled, and but held myself back. I had to remember that this was our first date, and if I started acting all possessive she was certainly not going to like it, or me for that matter, and it was that fact alone that kept my wolf at bay.
They only exhcanged a short hug, and he gladly led us to our table.
"Alright, my name is Jarred, I'll be your server tonight, can I get you anything to drink?" He asked, whipping out his notepad.
"I'm fine thank you." I said, while pulling out Ashley's chair, she sat and whispered a gentle "thank you", before answering Jarred.
"I'll have a water please." She said.
"Sure thing." He said, winking at her.
She must've saw me glaring at Jarred, when she placed her hands on my clenched fist that I rested on the table.
"Andrew, Andrew! Don't be jealous.... he's gay." She whispered the last part, those words caught my attention. He's gay?
" What?" I asked, feeling instantly relaxed just by the look of humor in her eyes.
"He's my brother's friend, and I haven't seen him in like, 2 weeks." She said. I laughed lightly at myself, the guy was guy for goodness sake!
"Oh, I'm sorry for reacting the way I did." I said feeling the slight blush creep up into my cheeks, God I was turning into such a wimp!
"It's okay, besides, you're sexy when you growl." She said, the humor being replaced with a teasing glint. Damn, I couldn't help but be turned on by that look!
"Don't tease little Ashley, you might not like the result..... right away at least." I said, easily imagining her reaction to how I would punish her and how in the end, she would love it.
"Oh, is that so?" She said, leaning across the table now.
I growled and leaned in as well, so that we were now only inches apart.
"Yes it is so." I said, smiling at her, I had the joy of hearing her intake in breath and pulling away slightly,but I was having none of it! I wrapped my foot around the base leg of her chair and pulled it closer. Not close enough to wedge her torso between the table and the chair, but close and fast enough that she was startled and leaned forward even more so then before.
I couldn't wait for the rest of the night.
Melissa's POV
I couldn't believe Ryan hadn't written that letter, but that didn't matter at the moment, what mattered was the fact that the man and all his testosterone and kindness... was driving me nuts! I couldn't be in the same room with him alone with him being all dominant and sexy and resist!
I just couldn't!
That's why I was so relieved when my mom called us down for supper, though, I didn't expect him to stay. Though I didn't want him to go, in fact that was the last thing I wanted, I wanted to spend time with him and talk with him and, okay maybe make out with him. The problem was, tonight I found it extremely hard to resist him!
And now, he practically promised another punishment was coming for teasing him... oh boy!
All of those thoughts, were pushed to the back on my mind when I walked down stairs and smelt my favorite meal, something with chicken and cheese!
I didn't know what exactly but I knew I smelt chicken and cheese, and that was all I needed. When I entered the kitchen I saw my mother pulling out the milk and juice and setting the table. I went to help her but she was already finished. To thank her in advance for dinner, I went to hug and kiss her.
"So, how's unpacking coming along sweetie?" My mom asked, while taking out three plates, and filling hers up with the tomato sauce and cheese covered chicken breast and mashed potatoes.
"It's coming along good, I finished unpacking my clothes." I said, leaving out the part about the note, the last thing I needed was to have her worrying over nothing.
"That's good, I finished unpacking our books, and the kitchen stuff today as well. I'm working on my room tomorrow unless...." She said, looking at me expectantly. I scanned my thoughts for any clue of what she can be talking about but came up blank.
"No, no unless. Unless, well, do you have anything,....?" I asked, skeptically now. What was she trying to hint at. She looked over my shoulder quickly and smiled. I spun around to see Ryan gazing at me from behind, did they just.. I'm going to pretend nothing happened for my own sake.
"Nope, I have nothing."I said.
"Okay." She said, with a hint of something in her voice... something I decided to ignore, because I knew it had something to do with the exchange they just shared.
Ryan and I both filled our plates with food and went to sit at our new dinning table.
"Oh, wow. This is delicious Rachel!" Ryan said, while taking another hearty bite. My mom smiled at his comment.
"Why, thank you Ryan. Mel's dad taught me the recipe. Her father was quite the cook." She said. I stared at her when she said this. Never have I ever heard her say this about dad. How come when Ryan is around she starts spouting things about dad? Not that I resented Ryan for it, but it simply catches my attention.
"I never knew that." i whispered, though she seemed to hear it.
"I'm sorry honey, but you've always been so used to my cooking, Ryan's reaction just reminded me of when I used to react when he cooked for me..." Her voice trailed off, and I knew then that I needed to change the subject...
Luckily there was a knock on the back door, then a head popped through it.
Carter! God I felt like I haven't seen her in like ever! Ever since Ryan and I had had our first date we've been inseparable and though I've stopped and talked to in school and when I saw around in the village, I never got to spend some real time alone with her.
"Hey, I was just wondering if I can join yall for supper? My mom and dad went out and I'm kind of stuck eating alone...." She trailed off, not wanting to invite herself, though that was exactly what she hinting at. I smiled at her and she quickly smiled back, knowing that I knew exactly what she was saying.
"Of course you can, grab a plate and come on in, sweetie." My mom said, her voice sounding completely different.
"Okay thanks." She said, while skipping over to the food to make herself a plate.
I waited for her to come sit down to start talking to her. She sat across from me while Ryan sat next to me, he made sure that at least one centimeter of our body was touching and right now it was our elbow/upper-arm area that was touching, I couldn't deny that his touch was reassuring.
"So, what's new with you Carter?" I asked, while eating the delicious food.
"Not much, I have been buried alive with homework....wink wink Ryan, and I might be seeing someone..." She said, I stopped eating immediately, while Ryan laughed at her little un-suttle hint for her distaste in the amount of homework, which I have to agree, though she was hoping Ryan can change.
"What?!Why am I just hearing of this?! Is he your mate?!" I asked, well practically yelled at her. Everyone laughed at my little outbursts. Carter especially. But this was why I loved this girl, she was not afraid to say something, like she just said she was seeing someone in front of my mom! I would never have done that in front of hers, though I've never met her.... which made me feel slightly guilty.
"You didn't know about this because we've barely spoken to eachother! We're always so busy...." She said, though I could hear a hint of sadness in her voice.
"I'm sorry." I said, and it was then that I remembered that there was two other people in the room, one of them being my mate!
"We'll talk later, I promise!" I said.
After that, dinner conversation went back to being normal. My mom complemented Carter on getting honour roll, my mom and Carter got talking about this book they both read, Ryan mentioned that they were making the movie version as we speak, and all in all it turned out to be a wonderful evening with my mate, my mother and my best friend.
