Dom
He couldn’t stop himself from smelling her scent as she walked past him. Aside from the sweet, vanilla and cinnamon sugar scent she gave off, he also was surprised to notice a hint of arousal. He tried to hide the pleasure he felt at knowing his mate was attracted to him. Well, that should be a point in my favour. He though to himself as he tried to come up with a plan for what he should do next.
He sat down next to her, his leg brushing against hers. She felt her cheeks warm as she blushed. She was trying so hard to contain herself, but she just want to push him down and ravage him. This feeling shocked her. She had never really been interested in boys or romance before. So this feeling was new and strange and she didn’t quite know what to do about it. As Dom clasped her hand, he felt her pulse race and it made it even harder for him to hold back. His mate was testing his patience. She was clearly attracted to him, but also seemed confused by it all. He wanted to taste her lips. Feel her soft skin and mark her as his own. Claim her so the world would know that she was his.
He couldn’t contain himself. Surely just a kiss would be fine. Right? He reached over, lifting her chin and looking into her eyes. He leaned over and pressed his lips against hers. They were soft and plump and the moment his lips touched hers, he knew he made a mistake. Like he could handle just a kiss! He groaned as he slide his hand up to cup her cheek and titled his head so he could have easier access to her mouth. He stroked her lip with his tongue and took advantage of her surprised gasp to slip it inside.
Their kiss became more passionate as Maddy pulled him closer. He slide on top of her and lowered her back to the pillows behind them. His hands slid down her sides, brushing against her curves. One arm curled behind her, holding her body against his while his other hand went to pull her hair to one side. He finally left her lips only to kiss down her chin and neck to brush his mouth against the arch where her neck and shoulder meet. His teeth scraped against her soft skin and as he heard her gasp, he realised what he was doing. He groaned and pulled away. Scrambling off her and to the side. He lay on his back, his arms crossed over his eyes, breathing fast.
“wha.... why did you stop? “ she managed to gasp out, her body humming and senses tingling. Her entire body felt like it was begging for his touch. It only took a second for her to realise what she said. Then the horror and fear came over her. Oh god. What had she done? What had she almost done? This was the first time they had even talked. They weren’t dating. Were they? Was this a date? She felt so confused. “I don’t.. .. I’m not like this. This is the first..... I mean.....” She couldn’t figure out what to say or how to say it. How could she explain how she felt when she didn’t even understand it herself?
Dom
He sat up. Took a deep breathe and turned to her. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have rushed this.”
He looked down and then back up to her flushed face. It took every ounce of strength he had not to pull her to him again. He took a deep breathe. “I lo..Like you. A lot. I know that this is fast and seems crazy to you. I just... ok. I need to explain some things. And I hope that when I am finished, you will still give me a chance. My family..... I... ok. How do I say this. When you mentioned that my friends and I were like a pack, you weren’t wrong. “ He clasped her hands, almost as if he was afraid that if he didn’t hold on to her, she would run for the hills.
“Our families are part of a group called the Deimos moon pack. And we.... I am a werewolf.” He scrunched his eyes closed as if he was waiting for the world to end.
Maddy
She stared at him. Did she just hear what she thought she heard? “Deimos? Like the warrior god of dread And one of Mar’s moons?” She blinked. His head came up and his mouth dropped open. “that’s what you want to ask?” He didn’t know if he should laugh or cry.
She tilted her head to the side. “werewolf. Like, you transform at the full moon.” She didn’t know why she was so calm. Maybe it was the warmth and comfort she felt radiating from the her hands that he was still grasping tightly. Honestly, considering the fact that the most gorgeous guy she had ever seen was attracted to her and liked her seemed more unbelievable than anything else could possibly be.
Dom
“not just the full moon. Any time really.” Dom answered almost by instinct. He was still confused by her reaction. She was so.... calm. This was going so much better than he expected. Or, was it actually worse? Was she acting like this because she thought he was crazy? He decided to just follow her lead and he would just.... do whatever it took to convince her to stay with him. He believed in the mate bond. He had seen it with his parents. With other members of his pact. And he could feel it. It was so much more than he thought it would. He knew the legend. Heard the stories. But it’s not till He actually felt it. This unbreakable tether connecting them. It felt so real.
“do you.... want to see?” As he watched her slowly nod her head, he stood up and pulled off his t-shirt. Then unzipped his jeans and pulled them down. As he stood back up, he saw her flushed face staring at him as if she was frozen in place. He smirked. “like what you see?”
“yes" she said. Then suddenly shook her head and blushed even more. He laughed in surprise and joy. His mate would definitely keep him on his toes. “don’t be scared. And don’t run. My wolf won’t hurt you, but if you run, his instinct will make him give chase.”
“so, you are 2 different people? Beings.... You know what I mean.”
“yes and no. We are separate and not. Like 2 sides of a coin. We are a part of each other, but also our own selves. It’s hard to explain I guess.”
He took a step back and his bones started to shift and his joints cracked. Fur burst from his skin as he fell to the ground, in mere moments, the change was complete and a stunning wolf was where Dom once stood.
