Mates with Benefits

Chapter 3

EMERY POV

My hands were shaking so terribly that I couldn't manage the simple task of sticking my key into the lock. I was resisting the urges of my wolf. I was furious and I needed to get away from him. I wasn't sure who or what I was more mad at. Nolan for kissing me, myself because I liked it, my wolf because she wanted me to do more, or the fates for picking this guy to bond me with for all of eternity. I already knew what kind of person he was. I had just witnessed first hand the way he treated girls. And I wasn't going to be the next in line to be treated like s**t, mate or not.

Suddenly the door was pulled open and my father stepped into view. “Emery, what's going on?" he asked, staring at the two of us.

"Dad, this guy kis..."

“No, problem here sir." Nolan said, effectively cutting me off. "Emery brought me home to meet you, I'm her mate, Nolan."

My eyes bulged out of my head. How dare he tell my father that! I didn't want him as a mate. But inside my wolf was reveling in hearing him identify himself as mine.

"No, dad, I did not bring him here for that. I didn't even want him to drive me home. He kissed me in the car." I whined.

"Emery." My dad silenced me with his firm voice. "I can sense the pull between you too." He smiled at the two of us. "Nolan, why don't you come in?"

"Of course, sir." Nolan stepped inside the house. He turned to face me with a grin, "Aren't you coming in, mate?"

I scowled at him. I sighed before following him into the house and shutting the door.

My dad led us into, the kitchen where my mother was looking at take out menus. “Honey, you are not going to believe this." My mom looked up from the menu in her hand. "Meet Nolan, Emery's mate."

My mother cupped her hands over her mouth and jumped up and down in place. "Oh my God! I knew moving her was the right decision. And on your first day of school. Bless the fates."

"Mom." I groaned. The spectacle that was being made out of this was making my stomach hurt.

My mom walked over and hugged me tightly before doing the same to Nolan. "Oh, Em! You got lucky with this one. He is hot!" she squealed.

"Yeah, well someone else can have him." I stomped out of the kitchen and up the stairs to my room. I threw myself face down onto my bed.

It wasn't long before I heard footsteps entering the room.

I knew it was Nolan, his scent enveloped the entire space. My heart rate involuntarily quickened.

"Your mom is ordering us pizza." I responded with a groan. "Aren't you going to show me around your room?"

I rolled over onto my back. "There isn't much to see obviously." The majority of my stuff was still packed neatly in boxes stacked against the walls.

"Well why don't I help you unpack?" I sat upright on my elbows as I watched him sit down on the floor with a box. He grinned as he opened it up. My mouth went dry at the site of him. As much as I wanted to, I couldn't deny that he was beautiful. My wolf itched to put a claim on him somehow, we didn't want anyone else getting near him. I mean she, she didn't want anyone else near him.

"I think I'll dream about you wearing this tonight." he said, holding up a bright pink thong in his hand.

My entire face blushed scarlet as I jumped from the bed and snatched my underwear from his hand. "Pervert"

"I wonder what other pretty panties you have in here." He shoved his hand back into the box.

I smacked his hand before snatching the box away. I picked it up and walked over to my empty closet, propping it on one of the shelves.

I screeched as I turned around to see Nolan directly behind me. He stepped forward, and I stepped back. He stepped forward again, and I took another step back. We repeated this dance until my back was pressed against the wall of my closet. He had me cornered.

My breathing felt shaky as he stepped closer to me, out bodies now pressed flush against each other. I felt his breaths fanning over my face. "Emery." He muttered my name in a deep, guttural voice that resonated deep inside me. I could feel arousal forming between my legs. My wolf was begging to be claimed right now by him.

I closed my eyes as he pressed his lips against mine. I couldn't fight it like I had earlier in his car. I was too weak. My will power had withered away to nothing. It was as if I had been thirsting for water all of this time and his lips were a never ending stream, giving me everything I didn't know I needed and more.

Nolan's hands cupped the sides of my face as his tongue continued to explore my mouth. He was growing more aggressive by the second. But I liked it, I wanted it.

"Hey dinner is here... oh." The sound of my mother's voice put an end to our daze and Nolan broke our tight embrace. "Sorry guys, the pizza is here. Come down whenever you're ready." she squeaked as she quickly left the room.

I pressed my hand to my lips, the were wet and swollen.

"So, you do want me." Nolan grinned.

And suddenly all my thoughts had fallen back into place. I had let go of my resolve for one second and now he thought I was putty in his hands. But that would never happen again.

I pushed past him and out of the closet. "Don't kiss me ever again."

"Were you guys having fun up there?" My mom smiled at the pair of us knowingly. I glared at her.

"Oh yeah, lots of fun." Nolan winked at me.

I ignored him and grabbed another slice of pizza, my fourth to be exact. I was stress eating.

"Thank you so much for having me." Nolan hugged my mother and kissed her on the cheek before shaking my father's hand.

"It was our pleasure. You're family now. I guess I should just start calling you son."

I felt sick as I watched the whole display. If only they knew what kind of guy he really was.

"Emery would you walk me out to my car, please?"

"I think I'll pass."

"Emery." my mom scolded me.

"Fine." I groaned, rolling my eyes.

"I had a lot of fun today." He smiled at me. Much to my dismay, that smile made my heart flutter.

"Oh yeah, me too. Especially when you practically forced yourself on me in your car. That was the best part of my day." Sarcasm laced my voice.

"Really? That was my favorite part too. Wait, I take that back. Pinning you against the way in your closet was the best part." My cheeks flamed red. "I'll see you tomorrow, 8:00."

"What?"

"Tomorrow morning, I'm coming to pick you up. I'm taking you to school."

"No you're not."

"Yes I am. It's already been decided. I'll see you tomorrow." He blew me a kiss before climbing into his car and speeding away.
