Not My Mate - Finished

Chapter Seventeen - Quality Time

“You've got everything?” Kayne asked.

I nodded.

Luka and I were going to stay one night in my home pack, with Seth. I had packed bags for each of us with everything we might need.

Luka slept in his carseat on the ride there. I clutched Kayne's hand. I was nervous.

When I got to my parent's house, a small sense of relief washed over me. Everything was familiar. This is where I'd grown up. The car stopped in their driveway and Kayne helped me bring my things and Luka inside. He got Luka out of his carseat and snuggled him close, kissing the top of his head. Their first night away from each other. He kissed me and helped us get settled before leaving.

Seth and Makayla walked through the door a few minutes later.

“Hi Bria.” Makayla said with a smile. “Have good night, baby.” She turned to Seth and kissed him before turning to go out the door.

Ben and Lena came downstairs – Lena's bump was showing. Ben took Luka from me so they could cuddle with him. My parents appeared to be out.

It felt good to be in the kitchen again in my old home. My childhood was spent in this house. Seth and I spent so many nights together here. I felt at peace, and without Luka in my arms, I almost felt like I was in high school again.

I spent a few hours with Ben and Lena visiting pack members. My best friend from high school, Talia, came to see me. She was not able to marry a wolf because she was human. She was going to a human college, so was meeting plenty of boys there. Other pack members were happy to see me and see Luka.

It was around 9pm when Seth and I finally settled on the couch. My parents had gone away for the night for a meeting with the Water Moon pack. Water Moon was not happy with the way they were breaking up mates in exchange for alliance with other packs and my father, the Alpha, needed to settle the waters with their alpha.

At first, Seth and I sat on opposite sides of the couch. I nursed Luka until he fell asleep and then I laid him in his bouncer where I could keep an eye on him. I had butterflies in my stomach. We used to cuddle on this couch for hours, often falling asleep in each others arms. Why did it feel so strange now? I wanted to move closer, but my nerves and awkwardness kept getting the better of me.

“Hey... come here. We're supposed to be acting like we used to.” Seth said, with a smirk. I smiled back and moved closer to him. My stomach burned with a feeling I wasn't used to as he touched me.

He pulled me on to his lap. He held me close to my chest as I laid my head against him, listening to his heartbeat and his breath pulling into his lungs. These were sounds that I had fallen asleep to so many times. He kissed the top of my head. I melted into him, starting to feel normal again.

He tipped my head back and kissed me hard. I kissed back, and soon we were making out and letting our hands explore. Though we never had s*x, I knew his body like the back of my hand. I ran my hands down his muscular back and stomach, making his muscles quiver underneath me.

I heard Lena clear her through behind us. We separated, embarrassed.

“I can take Luka upstairs with us for the night. I'll bring him to you if he needs to eat.” She said.

“Are you sure?” I asked.

She nodded and scooped up Luka. He would be well cared for with her and Ben, and I would be right in the next room.

Seth and I followed her upstairs and went to my old bedroom. It was just like I left it, but resembling more of a guest bedroom now. We crawled into the bed like we had done many nights before. We continued kissing and exploring each other's bodies with our hands.

Clothes started coming off slowly. I was down to just my panties and bra when Seth put his hand down the front of my panties. I felt myself getting wet as he rubbed. I returned the favor and started stroking his d**k through his boxers.

He pulled my panties off and removed his boxers. We continued kissing for a few moments and then he entered me. I moaned and arched my back against him, earning a smile against my lips.

We ended breathless. I laid against his chest. We connected in the ways we were supposed to. We were made for each other, we were meant to love. Being able to be together the way that we were made to opened up a new connection for us.

“I'd like to keep this up.” Seth said with a smile.

“Me, too.” I agreed.

“I love Makayla. I can't do this every weekend. We could try for once a month, maybe.”

“I get it. That's fine with me.” I told him. “We'll work something out, play it by ear. I really like Makayla, I'm so happy you found her.”

“Me too. She is so gentle and kind. She is genuinely so good, Bria.”

“I asked Kayne to find Dylan, her mate. I don't think Spirit Moon will be willing to allow them time together regularly, but I think she should get to tell him about the baby.”

“I hope he can. I was there when she miscarried the baby. We weren't dating yet, just bonding over what had happened. She was beautiful, but so tiny. She wasn't breathing, the doctor said nothing could be done, she was too small, too early. Makayla was crushed.”

“I can imagine.”

“So, let's agree on once a month for now?”

“Yes. Agreed.” I said.
