Enchanted Betrayal

Chapter Eight.

The party was in full swing when our group arrived. The guys went to grab us some drinks while Beth and I went to the bathroom to touch up our makeup and relieve ourselves.

    "So, what are you thinking?" Beth asked me.

    "That I'm falling for him already." I sigh. "Does that make me sound stupid?"

    "Of course not, he is your Mate after all. He is your perfect companion and the Goddess wouldn't have matched you two together if that wasn't the case."

    "I hope I'm the right one for him. I'm just worried that I'm not enough for him. What if... what if he ends up listening to other people and starts treating me like crap again?"

    "He won't. I believe he loves you very much already."

    "Really?"

    "Really. Now lets get out there just in case they've forgotten how pretty we are." Beth winks and opens the bathroom door.

    We step out to find Matt and Jacob waiting for us right outside the door.

    "Well you two took your time, have you finished talking about us yet?" Jacob said with a smirk on his face.

    "No," Beth said while giving a flirty smile to Matt. She grabs Matts hand and drags him to the dance floor.

    "Are you alright?" Jacob asks me. I nod my head and blush. "I got you a cocktail. I noticed you were drinking them at the last party. Would you like to dance?"

    "Thank you, that was really thoughtful of you. And yes, I would love to dance with you." Jacob takes my hand and we make our way to the dance floor.

    Jacob pulls me close, although he was careful not to spill our drinks. We started swaying to the music, drinking our drinks and generally having a really good time. About an hour or so later, we had finally finished our first drinks and decided we would go and have another one when The Octopus shows up.

    "Oh, I see. So you'll f**k the Alpha but you won't f**k me?" The Octopus sneered.

    "Watch your tongue boy."

    "Why? She was all over me last night, begging me to f**k her. And now she's here, hanging off of you. I bet you'll be the next notch on her bedpo..." The Octopus didn't get to finish his sentence. Jacob punched him full force in the face and towered over him.

    "Don't you EVER speak about my Mate like that. What gives you the right to speak to any woman like that? Now get your sorry ass up off the floor and run home like the snivelling little boy you are and if you ever talk like that to her again, I WILL end you." Jacob said growling. David scrambled up from the floor with his hand covering his nose, unsuccessfully trying to stop the blood flow. As fast as Werewolves heal, the punch was that powerful, it'll most likely need to be reset to stop the bleeding.

    Jacob turned to me. "I'm sorry about that."

    "It's not your fault. I'm going home, I'm no longer in the mood to party. Thank you for what you said and did. I'll see you around." I turned around and started to leave when he grabs my hand and pulls me back to him and wraps his arms around me. 

    "Please don't. I'll walk you home and we can talk some more if you like. If not, I'll walk you home and leave you in peace."

    "No, I'd like it if we could talk a bit more."

    We said our goodbyes to Beth and Matt and headed home.

    "Thank you again for sticking up for me. I really appreciate it."

    "I'd do anything for you." Jacob takes my hand in his and brings it to his face and places gentle kisses on the back of my hand.

    "It's not true by the way."

    "What isn't?"

    "I don't sleep around. I'm not a virgin either but I don't put it about."

    "I know you don't. You're not that type of person."

    "So you're not mad that I'm not all virginal anymore?"

    "No, why would I be mad at you? I'll let you in on a not so secret, secret." He leans in closer to me and whispers in my ear, his breath sending shivers down my spine. "I'm not a virgin either."

    I giggle at his 'confession' and we walk along in silence for a while. And what I mean by we walk, he walked and I wobbled. I'm still barefoot but the wine and the cocktail have really gone to my head. I hear a soft growl and the next thing I know I'm being scooped up in a bridal style carry. I'm trying to pull my dress down further over my ass but I'm not having much success.

    "Hey," I halfheartedly protest. "Everyone will see my ass."

    "Well, we better hurry up and get to your cabin then before someone see's that peachy bum of yours." Jacob smiles at me and then starts running with me in his arms

     We arrive at the cabin door and I feel quite windswept. Well that certainly sobered me up. Jacob places me back on the ground and as he does so, my dress rides up and my ass is on complete show. With a red face I try to quickly pull my dress down, when I'm done I completely ignore the fact that JACOB KNIGHT JUST SAW MY THONG, ASS AND POSSIBLY MY v****a. AHHHHHH!!!!

    I don't look at him as I turn around to open the door. I go through and leave the door open as a clear indication that he could come inside. I head straight to the bedroom and get changed into my shorts and t-shirt for bed. I turn around to head back to the living room and Jacob is standing in the doorway, watching me with a lustful gaze.

    "How long have you been standing there?"

    "Long enough. Don't worry so much, I've seen it all before remember?"

    I blush at the memory of him telling me about last night. Jacob starts towards me but instead of grabbing me like I was kind of/sort of hoping he would, he takes a seat on my bed.

    "I'm going to make some coffee, would you like some?"

    "Yes, please."

    I head to the kitchen and put the kettle on, I take down some cups and start adding coffee and sugar to one and a coffee mocha sachet to my cup. After making the coffee, I take a big sniff of my delicious mocha and I let it's soothing sent calm my nerves. I honestly have no idea why I'm all of a sudden so nervous. I mean, it's not like anything is going to happen. I'm not ready for that.

    I go back into the bedroom to find that he's stripped down to his boxers and is sitting in the same position I left him in.

    "Comfy, are we?" I ask

    "Maybe just a little." He replies. I hand him his coffee and sit on my bed, opposite him with my coffee in between my hands, warming them up.

    "So how many guys have you slept with?" He asks me out of nowhere.

    "Just the one." I say with a grimace.

    "With the face you're pulling, I'm guessing it didn't go very well then."

    "You guess right. I'd been dating this guy, Johnathon, for around two months in Harmony. He was really sweet at first, he bought me flowers, told me he loved me and basically made me feel like I was the most special person in the world. Anyway, to cut a long story short, he convinced me to have s*x with him, and honestly it was the worst experience of my life. There was no warm up, it was pretty much a wham, bham, thank you ma'am kind of deal. He made his excuses and left. I later found out that it was all a lie, he dated me and bedded me for a bet. When my mum found out she was so disappointed in me, which  only made me feel worse. But that's in the past now, he had his karma and died with everyone else at the welcome meeting. I've been saving myself ever since, it may be a bit late for my virginity but I'm still new to it all." I look at Jacob, pleading with my eyes for him to understand.

    He takes my coffee and puts both of them on the bedside table. He comes closer to me and pulls me onto his lap and cuddles me.

    "I'm sorry he did that to you. I can promise you that you will never be made to feel like that again."

    I look up at him and see that he's telling me this with an open face.

    "Would you like to stay the night?"

    "If you want me to, I would love to."

    "I would like it very much if you did, I honestly had the best nights sleep in so long last night."

    He smiles at me and kisses me on the forehead. We both get under the covers and I lean my head on his chest.

    "There's something I want to tell you." He says, shifting me so we could look each other in the eyes.

    "What is it?" I ask, slightly worried.

    "I know it's only been a few days and we have a long road ahead of us, but I want to say it now. I love you. You don't have to say it back yet but I wanted you to know how I feel about you."

    He loves me. I can't believe it, he really loves me. I didn't realise our faces were getting closer until his lips stop millimetre's away from mine and I meet him the rest of the way for our first kiss. Our kiss started off slow, but it got heated pretty quickly, he bit my bottom lip and then our tongues were fighting for dominance. As first kisses go, it was a hell of a lot better than what I thought it would be. It was the kind of kiss that makes your toes curl, your head feels like it's spinning and you're pinning yourself to them because you need more. We break away panting, and he abruptly turns away from me.

    "Did I do something wrong?"

    "No you didn't, that was one hell of a kiss princess."

    "Then why did you turn away from me?"

    "Because you gave me a b***r, and I didn't want you thinking I was only after one thing. I'm really not, I want to be with you for the rest of our lives Roxy."

    "I believe you."

    We both turn on our side and spoon each other. Jacob wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me into him and I can feel him taking deep breaths of my hair. I fall asleep knowing that I'm loved, and I'm safe.
