Mia POV~

Settling in the chair, moving my hair to a low ponytail I took a deep breath. Del had retreated back into my mind giving me human senses as she didn't like the facial or waxing. I smiled at her "p***y" I growled into my mind. 

She rolled her eyes growling back and settled down into a laying position, resting her head onto paws. The door opened and I lifted my head to see Shannon making her way across the room to the machine. 

Even with my dull senses I could see her demeanor had changed. Her brows were pulled together and her shoulders tense as her hands fumbled with the tools. I watched her for a few seconds when she dropped the bottle of oil on the floor I jumped.

"Sha what's going on? You seem distracted. Did something happen?" I watched her move about whispering to herself while she cleaned up the spot. 

I moved to help her " No, my qu- agent please don't." I startled back at her words and set back on my ankles watching her. 

She blushed "Agent please get back into the chair. It is a personal matter I would rather not discuss. Thank you for your concern though. "  

I nodded to her "I understand, but know I am here if you would like to talk or if I need to kick someone's ass." I patted her shoulder as I moved back into the chair. She lifted the rags and bottle throwing them into a bin next to the facial machine as she smiled. 

Del watched from my eyes and gave a little peak of concern. When she pushed a little of her essence into me I caught a familiar scent. I gasp at her and stared, that spicy cedar hit me and swirled around me. Starting a volcano in my core that caused me to blush and cover my nose in an attempt to regain control. 

His scent wasn't this overbearing at the coffee shop. It was only a pleasant scent, Delilah began to push to be given control she wanted to find him. The scent both intrigued her and angered her, she wanted to know mostly why Shannon carried it. How odd was it that I had spoken about a hot mystery guy and now I smell him on her. 

I shushed Delilah and pushed her back as hard as I could without hurting her. I didn't know this guy and hell it could be her brother for all I know. I learned long ago not to jump for conclusions. Shannon stood and stared back at me covering my mouth and raised her eyebrows at me in question. 

I stammered to say anything in fear of what might come out. " Agent what's wrong are the oils to strong?" Shannon ask as concern mirrored her face and her hand held my shoulder. I shook my head at her and pushed at Delilah again to settle down. 

"Yes, I think it just overwhelmed me a bit. Delilah was settled down so my senses weren't as sharp until now when you were upset." I mumbled out as best I could. It seemed a plausible explanation as Shannon seemed to understand and nodded to me. 

"Alright if you'll give me a few minutes I can burn a little sage to clear the air." Shannon moved to the doorway but I grabbed her hand. I didn't want his smell to leave more than anything, besides the curiosity underneath it being on her. 

"I actually quite like the cedar scent you have burning. Can you maybe use that every time? Delilah agrees with me, its intriguing. Is it new?" I ask casually hoping to peak her interest to speak about it. She hesitated and her brows scrunched but she nodded a yes to me. 

I was disappointed in the thought of her not disclosing the scent but wasn't sure how to proceed in asking. Once she laid me back in the chair and started to rub the oils into my face, Delilah settled down. 

It wasn't until Shannon started the extraction process that Del really receded. Her metal utensils were cold and sharp as they dug into my skin to cleanse the unsightly pours. Even though I was more than a century old, we didn't develop the flawless skin most vampires had. Since their skin was basically dead they had no worries for this sort of thing. Especially the hair, lucky leeches. 

I felt every nick and pull as she cleared my skin. Being human feeling sucked, It only brought back unsightly memories of my time in captivity. I gritted my teeth and squeezed the chair rails to clean my thoughts. I didn't want to travel back down that rabbit hole again. 

Shannon pulled away after a while and rubbed a soothing mint cream over my face. She then wrapped me in a warm towel as she covered my eyes with cucumber slices. I laughed to myself and pictured the scene from legally blonde with the woman wrapped in aluminum foil. 

"Alright all done. The chair is going to lift into a table of sorts and ill set your feet in the stirrups for the Brazilian wax. " Shannon started to move my legs and opened the robe causing goosebumps to form over my body. The air around me was a slight chill as the hot towel steamed around my face and neck. 

The tantalizing scent from earlier was forgotten as she started to wheel the wax cart over. hearing her stir the contents made me take a deep breath and Delilah to giggle at my stress.

I tensed again as she moved my feet into the stirrups. I felt like I was at the gyno getting an exam, had this been anyone but Shannon and I may have kicked them in the face. She rubbed the warm wax over the first fold and I took a deep breath. This was worth it, this is worth it. I kept repeating over and over. She ripped the first strip and I bit into my tongue to keep the shout from escaping.

"It will be over soon love, just a few more strips then ill have you flip over." Her voice was smooth but it didn't stop me from groaning. Delilah cringed at me and turned around showing me her backside as she started to chuckle. 

"Thanks for the support asswhole" I mumbled to her inwardly. 

She snorted back "I didn't tell you to do this and Ill be damned to sit and enjoy it. Once its finished ill help but not enduring the pain you subjected yourself to." 

"I haven't heard you complain when we look at our human skin the mirror. " I grumbled back.

Taking another deep breath I tried to think happy thoughts until my torture would end. Weirdly enough after the first three strips I actually liked the feeling. Kinky I know but at the same time obviously I am a little odd for getting it in the first place. 

My mind started to wonder to the coffee shop hottie and if he might like this bare kitty.

Jed POV~

As I sat in the sss room awaiting my queen the air was electric. Every nerve in my body on fire with excitement.  Her honey and lilac scent was like a tornado swirling me around inside it. My foot bounced in annoyance as the time ticked by. The more I wondered what she was doing in there the harder it was to sit still. 

I turned looking for Claudia to bring me another glass of champagne when a smiling Ben came into view. His hair disheveled and skin had a shine to it like he was rolling in oil. His natural beachwood scent mixed with eucalyptus and mint. 

"Man that was soooo good." His grin made his ears rise with with curls as he spoke. 

I stared at him like he was guilty raising my eyebrow at him. Claudia appeared handing me a drink and I took it gratefully. 

"Have you gone yet Jed? You still look way uptight, maybe you need a different massager person." I snorted at him and shook my head no. 

"Actually Shannon is finishing up and should be with me shortly." I looked over the rim of my glass at him as I motioned with my pointer finger down the hallway. 

He looked down the corridor and back at me with a smirk "So, Shannon again huh. Does this mean your giving her a chance? I hear her beast calling for yours every season for the last few years." 

I shook my head at him "Not what I meant Benjamin. She and I have a common interest in someone." I never took my eyes off of the hallway as I spoke.  My attention completely on the task of her. 

"Um okay. Not sure I want to know about your kinky threesome. I know best friend here and all but I think we outgrew the f**k and tell a century ago." His face screwed in disgust as I sighed at him. 

"Nevermind, Ben I might be a while so why don't you head back to the pride then send Jake back to get me." I downed the last of my glass crossing my knee over my lap as I set back in my chair. He smirked at me and saluted as he walked away towards the locker room. 

I closed my eyes and thought of a way to introduce myself. Shannon new her and would tell me small details but I wanted to know the real her. How creepy am I to sit here and wait for her. 

"Not creepy, determined" fury growled to me.

He was always growling I rolled my eyes to him.

 "Unlike the man-w***e you are, I have been waiting century's to release." He grumbled.

My eyes widened. Of course he had, no wonder he was such a grouch. I started to chuckle inwardly and he growled loudly trying to push forward. He wanted his female and I couldn't blame him. 

A click from the hallway had me jerking my attention to the door. Shannon emerged with a small smile and moved my direction. She nodded to me to follow her, so I stood up immediately and moved towards her. 

The door opposite to the room were she was opened and Shannon motioned for me to enter. I growled under my breath but followed her. She closed the door with a soft click and turned to meet my eyes. 

"My lord, may I suggest meeting her at her favorite coffee shop tomorrow morning. As I see it wouldn't be fitting to see her at this moment." She pulled her lips into her mouth biting down to hide a smile. 

I lifted an eyebrow " Why would it not be fitting? Is something wrong?" Fury started to pace in my mind at the thought of her being hurt. 

"Well in a way yes. She well. Okay I will be blunt with you if you promise to see her tomorrow and not barge into her room right now." She clinched her fists beside her and met my eyes hesitantly. 

I growled but nodded a yes. She blew out a breath "Okay well she just had a full body waxing and her beast wouldn't be apart of it, so as of right now she is feeling a little burn." 

I stared blankly at her before a smirk grew on my face. So my queen does indeed have a beast, I wonder what kind of shifter. My brain began to spiral as I thought of her being a wolf, or tiger a fox and or a hybrid. Fury didn't care he wanted her and right now. 

I hadn't realized I voiced out my opinion until she spoke "My lord, if you will give me a few minutes I will get her checked out and I can put you in the same room so you can see for yourself what she is." It was her turn to smirk as she left the room.

My body was starting to hum with anticipation of what my mate would be. Typical pairing of the species was lion to lion, wolf to wolf and so on but sometimes the fates threw a curveball and gave an interspecies mating or it was a choice. However the downside was very few could conceive offspring. 

I wasn't to concerned on that matter, fury was undecided but he would accept whatever the fates gave. When Shannon opened the door I could smell her sweet scent from across the hall and all but ran to the door. 

She wasn't there but her scent swirled around me and my body was already reacting to it. Shannon giggled at me and I blushed, of course she had seen the goods, even felt them but this was different. My body wouldn't want another now and I couldn't be mad at it. 

"Go ahead and disrobe, lay face down on the table. I will be back in a moment to get started." Her voice was gentle as she closed the door again. I did as she ask, my member standing at attention and beginning to throb. I wasn't sure how this was going to work with me lying on it but I suppose it was less embarrassing then having it on display. 

 I smiled taking another deep breath, Now I just needed to figure out how to smuggle these sheets out with me. My mind started to wander how she felt against my skin and I groaned in frustration. Fury chuckled at my state and I rubbed my head more onto the sheets as I closed my eyes. 

The door opened and Shannon moved to run her fingers over my shoulders. The hard pressure and light caress soothed the ache in my muscles. The smell of my mate was more captivating than anything I had every dreamed of.   

Her strong essence confirmed she was made for me. A lion of strong blood and her scent left behind her sweetness. Oh how many cubs we would make with this beautiful mate was the last thoughts before I felt my body relaxing.
