The true mate

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Liz POV

The date is going pretty well. Matthew left the house rather quickly and went to sit in his SUV. Since we left the house Matthew hasn't talked to me much, but after few minutes we started to talk, our conversation was neutral, nothing personal.

We're here. This place is really nice. The restaurant is very open and light. Our waitress sits us to our table and gives us few minutes to choose our drinks and food.

„Brendan told me to try their breakfast in a bowl, it's delicacy.“

„Brendan?“

„My brother. He's 2 years older than me. He's been to Ottawa before. His wife has family near by, they come here twice or three times a year.“

„I see.“

We're talking about our families and Matthew is really nicely talking about his brother. I can see he really loves him. Him and his wife, but the way he talkes about her is very personal, romantic almost. His family must be very close. I've always envy that.

„What about you? Any siblings?“

I have to smile at that question. „I have a sister. She's 3 and half years older. It's funny because while growing up, she said many times she hates me, she wishes I wasn't her sister and stuff, we would always fight, and by fight I mean with fists, but after she left home and decited to study in different city we didn't see each other very often, she only came home once in a 3 weeks. Since then we became very close.“

Matthew's POV

For the rest of the brunch we share some stories from our childhood and embarasing moments. When we finish eating I pay for the both of us after protest from Liz, that she can pay for herself. When we leave the restaurant I take her by her hand and start walking. She's not resisting my touch, she's even holding my hand tight. I can feel the sparks immediately. We walk through the city to the Museum of History. She's all excited and after what sehe told me during our brunch I know she loves history, which means I chose well to see one of their special exhibitions. We walk through rooms filled with artefacts from ancient Egypt and Liz doesn't know where to look first. She's reading every single card, absorbing all the information. After the exhibit we go for a walk in the city to the river and stop at a park that over looks the water. It's a beautilful autumn day, the leaves are changing colour to red and gold. It's a bit windy near the river, but it's still warm. We sit under a tree by the Rideau Canal hand in hand, talking about anything that comes to our minds.

„Let's play a game. I give you two things to choose from, it can be anything and you have to choose one that will survive and one that will be gone forever, what will you choose. Say what would you save.“

She looks at me excited with a big smile and breathing out a little chuckle.

„It will show what kind of a person you are.“

„Oh god! No!“ she's laughing nervously but agrees.

„Star Wars or Star Trek?“

„Star Wars.“

„Coffee or tea?“

„Coffee, four times a day.“

I chuckle and continue.

„Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter?“

„Lord of the Rings.“

„Cats or dogs.“

„I hate cats, I've always wanted a dog.“

After few more questions I decide to ask some questions that could lead me to if she knows anything about magical creatures.

„Angels or demons?“

„Angels for sure!“

„Ghosts or spirits?

Strange, she's actually thinking hard about this one. It looks like her face lost all colour, she looks infront of her looking at the Canal.

„None, but if I have to choose? Spirits.“

„Science or Magic?“

„Magic.“

„Vampires or werewolves?“

Again she looks at me suspiciously and thinks about her answer. I squeeze her hand and she looks at me with smug smile.

„Really? You want to know if I'm on team Edward or Jacob?“

Now it's my time to look surprised. Edward or Jacob? She's thinking I'm asking about her Twilight preferences? This girl, really.

I just laught and shake my head. „No, it's actually a valid question.“ I try to look as serious as possible, but by her expression I know she's not taking any of this, but she thinks about it anyway.

„Well if I look at this problem by my movie knowledge about these things, and Twilight it's not one of them, vampires usually live on their own, they're not social, so that trait fits me... BUT! If werewolves existed and let's assume that their livestyle would be similar to wolves, they would live in packs, with their leader. Also wolves are mated with one partner for the rest of their life or until their partner dies and they have very structured system of hierarchy, they all know their place, their responsibility, they take care of each other. There's stability in that, so that means, hypothetically, like based on all these information, I choose werewolves.“

I did not expect that answer, she actually shocked me. Never in my life I would predected such an honest and logical answer from someone who actually has no idea of magical creatures existence.

„She's gonna be great Luna.“

„But in her mind all of this is just theoretical.“

„But when we tell her and she accepts it, she's gonna be amazing. Even as a human she understands us.“

She does, she's absolutely bewitched me with her honesty, she's really special.

Liz's POV

Matthew looks at me with big smile obviously satisfied with my answers. I look at ever single detail of his face, his blue eyes that are every single time looking at me like I'm special and the most beautiful person in the world, his sharp nose, his black hair falling into his forehead, his high cheekbones and full lips. My eyes lay on them and my breath start to pick up. I want to kiss him, I wanted to kiss him since the moment he spoke to me the first time, not just kiss him. I want him.

He starts moving forward closer to my face. „Can I kiss you?“ He's so close that I can feel his breath on my lips, it's tickling. His question took me by surprise, he always looks like very confident, nice man, but he's asking if he can kiss me, worried that I would be outraged.

Before I can even think about his question my answer falls out of my lips, „Kiss me.“

Our lips connect and the feeling of his lips on mine, his hands holding me by my hips, his weight slightly leaning on my body is filling me with lust, pure raw lust and passion. I want him, now. I tug my fingers into his hair and pull. He moans into my mouth and lays me down on the grass. Our kiss became more passionte than probably any of us wanted, but I can't complain. He puts more weight on me and changes his position, he puts up his weight on his elbows and one of his legs is between mine. I can feel his crotch on my right thigh, he's getting bigger. But he has the same effect on me, I can feel getting myself hotter and more and more aroused. My whole body is on fire, I can feel these sparks again, it's too much.

Matthew's POV

God, not here. I can smell her arousal. She's pulling my hair letting me know she enjoys it. If I could I would mark her right now, right here and mate with her, until she would scream my name and fall asleep from exhaustion. Since yesterday I've been dying to touch her, to kiss her, feel her. I cup her right cheek and slowly move my finger down her jawline to her neck, I caress the spot where her neck connect with her shoulder. Here's where her mark's gonna be one day.

„Do it. I can't stand it!“

I growl into her mouth, this is too much, my wolf is getting stronger then me.

„LET. ME. DO. IT! Give me control!“

„...No.“

The pleasure is too much for me to handle. Her touch is too sensational. My mind is slipping, I can feel my wolf taking over.

„...Don't.“

But my wolf has a different idea, we battle over the power of our mind, our body. I try to stay focused but at one point our emotions, our lust mixes together and I'm fully aroused. I move hand down her neck to her chest, I give her breast a squeeze, then move my mouth do where her mark should be and kiss her there. She's arching her back asking for more and I'll give her that. I keep kissing her sweet spot and move my hand down her stomach and start unbuttoning her jeans. She moans and lets out a heavy breath. I want to listen to her moaning all day. But I hear a group of people coming our way. It takes all my will for me to stop.

„I'm sorry, we have to stop, this isn't right.“

She looks at me with haze in her eyes, but after my words hit her ears she sits up quickly and starts to fix her clothes and hair.

„Yeah, you're right, this was a mistake. We shouldn't do that. It's getting late, I should probably go.“

Wait, she thinks I don't want her? That's the last thing I want her to think, it's right the opposite. My love, if only you knew.

„No! What I mean is that I want to do it right. Please don't think that this was a mistake, it wasn't, I just want to do it properly.“ I lean forward closer to her and connect our foreheads. „I want you.“ I look her in the eye with all honesty and kiss her. I want to show her how much I already love her with this kiss. It's so delicate and slow kiss, I want her to feel it. I put all my love into it. She smiles against my lips and I know she can feel it, she feels the same. When the people reach our place I pull away from her and give her a smile.

We really should go, I didn't realized how late it's getting, the sky is pink and it's getting colder too. „Come on, I'll take you home.“ I stand up and offer her my hand. She accepts it and we go to my car. The whole walk is quiet, it's just us holding hands and enjoying the company of each other. During the ride to her house we talk some more. I found out she wants to visit Vancouver and Calgary, she loves the mountains. That's perfect, she can come with me, I can show her my pack. I'm sure she'll love it. But then she gets quiet. Looking out of her window, she asks me question that is not easy for me.

„Matthew? What is this exactly?“

I look at her with questioning face and when she feels my look at her she looks at me too.

„What do you mean?“

„This“, she's pointing with her finger between us. „This... relationship or what ever this is? You said you are from Calgary and you came here for a business meeting, which means you're going back, rather sooner than later. I live here, Matthew. I know we just met, but I really like you, and I don't think I can do this, knowing you'll leave soon.“

I know that the distance is not easy, but I have a solution. When Brendan told me he'll take over my pack for a while I decited that I'm gonna make the best out of it. I'm gonna spent every minute available with my mate. She already feels the bond, we just need some time together and the bond itself, the magic of Moon Goddess will unite us.

„Don't worry about that, I'm staying for a while. You're stuck with me.“

„What do you mean?“

„I'm staying in my brother's house for some time. Remember when I told you his wife has family near by? They bought a cottage 90 minutes up north from Ottawa... I know that you can feel it too, what we have is special. Liz, I'm gonna do everything in my power to show you, how much I want this. How much I want you.“

„But your life is based there, your work. What's gonna-“

„I told you, don't worry, everything is taken care of.“

With that we reach her house. I get out of my car and go around it to open door for her. We walk to the house and stop at the door. She turns around looking kind of worried, but tries to smile.

„What is it, baby?“

She shoots her head up after hearing that nickname and gives me disgusted and a bit amused look. „Baby? Did we officially enter that phase?“

I come closet to her with smug on my face and hold her hips pulling her against my body. „You tell me, did we?“

She smiles and stands on her tiptoes immediately kissing me.

After she pulls away I look at her and say with serious tone, „I meant it, you know. I want this. I want you.“

The door suddenly opens and a teenage boy walks out of the door. He's looking at his phone and walks into me. When he sees me his eyes get big and then he looks at Liz and just leaves.

„Hey! Matt.“ I hear Kris calling me. „Wanna get in? We're watching the new Guy Ritchie movie.“

I look at him with smile, but shake my head, „I'm sorry, but I have some things to take care of. Next time.“

„Ok, if you change your mind you're more than welcome.“, with that he goes down the stairs into the basement.

„I need to make a call with my father's old partner tonight, I'm sorry, I would love to spent more time with you.“

„It's ok.“ My mate gives me the sweetest smile and kisses me. I can't wait to have you for myself.

I pull away and offer her that we can meet tomorrow evening when she's done with taking care of the kids. She agrees and I kiss her holding her behind her neck pulling her as close as possible.

„I don't wanna go.“, I whisper to her and connect our foreheads.

„Me neither.“

„I know this is probably a bit early to ask, but do you want to spent next weekend with me?“

She breaths out a smile and agrees.

„It's settled then. We'll have a whole weekend together.“ I kiss her for the last time and take leave. I wave her goodbye when I get in my car and drive to the hotel. On my way back I mindkink Brendan telling him that I'll be back in 20 minutes, if he could inform Alpha William that I'll meet him as soon as I get in the hotel. He answers that William even talked to his healer and she agreed to connect to Liz's energy through me as her mate. If she's a witch or any kind of magical creature she'll be able to tell us everything about her and what she's capable of.
