Her human Mate

2. Casey

Oh f**k oh f**k oh f**k.

I kept chanting inside my head as I walked along the deserted streets with Noah.

Fuck f**k f**k f**k f**k. He's my mate. He's my f*****g mate and he's a human.

I obviously am not a human. Well, not just a human anyway. That was part of me but there was another part, another side.

I'm a wolf, a werewolf I suppose is the term but not in the way that most people would probably think of werewolves.

I guess I'm more of a shape shifter, but the form I take is a wolf. It is the only form I can take. I can change at will though learning to do that was a pain in the ass, but of course that made me a very complicated individual, not one who can just approach a guy in a bar. Oddly telling someone that you can transform into a wolf, well it's a hard thing to bring up.

But if we are honest there is actually something that makes it harder: the fact that we instantly recognize our mates. We know when we see them, meet them. It's helpful for us, but tends to make a first date uncomfortable when we know from the first handshake if we are soul mates or not and my people are nothing if not romantic. We don't easily accept anything less. The guys would be fuming that I was even talking like this with him. It was playing with fire, as the closer you got to your mate the more feeling you develop for them just like regular people, already the thought of letting go of his hand made me want to growl.

I kept saying stupid things just because I liked to see him smile and I couldn't stop my mind wandering to other things, wondering what he tasted like, what he kissed like, what he would feel like inside m...

No. No. No. No. No. I couldn't think that. I couldn't keep control of myself if I kept letting my mind go there.

For now this was a stolen night away from the boys, away from being a wolf. I was just a girl walking hand in hand with a boy I liked.

I had known he was my mate the second I had walked into that bar. I had sniffed the air and there It was, not strong. It was clearly a human scent, not a wolf but something in that scent made my wolf howl and whine, something in that scent caused the word Mate to be whispered over and over in my mind.

I knew then logically what I should have done was turn right around and walk away, but I couldn't. I sat silently with my brothers watching the human across the bar in what I hope was a discrete way.

Luckily my brothers aren't overly protective. They know I can take care of myself so eventually they left me to it. After all they have taken many 'nights off' with various human girls so they seemed to think I was just feeling a little horny.

It had taken me a stupid amount of time to get up the nerve to even approach him, and once I did I couldn't help finding his geeky awkwardness adorable, and I was just focused on trying to keep him there. I didn't really have any plan beyond this night time walk, but I was loving the feeling of warm pleasurable heat that was being produced just by our intertwined hands. We were talking about nothing really, me trying to dodge more questions than answer and those I answered were more than a little peppered with lies. Suddenly my shrill phone cut through the air. Was I wrong or did Noah look annoyed when I pulled it out, I groaned as I saw Stan's name.

"What?"

"Good evening to you too. Thought you were just having one last drink. You better not be screwing around."

"What do you want?" I growled my irritation clear as I let go of Noah's hand and walked a few steps away.

"Sort your knickers out and get back here." he snarled, "Aiden's noticed."

"Look I'll be back soon. I'm just taking some time." I said trying and failing to keep the irritation from my voice.

"Look I don't care if some human will get blue balls. Get back here, Cass. This is serious." I sighed and hung up, I smiled as I walked over to Noah who was standing there looking adorably awkward.

"Sorry sweet I have to go." I said vaguely.

"Ok." he nodded, but I didn't want him to go.

"Do you want a lift? My cars not far and I can drop you off."

"That's ok."

"Come on take the lift, I can't leave you alone a cute little cherry pop like you anybody might come along."

"Just what every guy wants to be." he said flatly "a cherry pop."

"I can't help it if you smell like one to me." I said playfully , "Come on." I started walking and he followed placidly after me.

I had a sneaking suspicion I had him, I mean he wouldn't know we were mates, would he? I mean he couldn't feel the bond right? I don't know. I don't think so, but he wasn't supposed to be human so I didn't know what to expect from this at all. I was aware though that he seemed to be as reluctant for the night to end as I was.

We walked slowly to my car, she was an ancient and very battered red Vauxhall, but she was still my pride and joy. Noah chose wisely not to comment as he climbed in which was VERY wise as she has had better days but 90% of my life was in this car. Everything I cared about short of my brothers and now my mate was right here.

"So where are you?" I asked hoping for good directions as I didn't know the campus at all and I should. Noah gave me pretty good directions, although I found if we stopped talking he lapsed into daydreams that I had to Half punch him to break. This always led to a stammered apology and an adorable blush that told me exactly what he had been daydreaming about. Eventually I pulled into a cluttered car park.

"Thanks for the lift." he said twisting awkwardly in his seat, "and for not secretly being out to mug me." he gave an awkward smile.

I nodded, "so are you going to ask me for my number or not?"

"um...I ...um....I guess." he said pulling his phone out.

"Well it would help. I feel fate has a way of working far too slowly and doesn't give a damn about what you want. She just decides what shall be."

"Um...ok I've got it number?"

"You know what screw it. Give me your number. You won't ever call me." I said plucking the phone out of his hand I tapped my number in and my phone quickly buzzed in my pocket. "There you go I will be calling you." I said casually shutting off the phone and flinging it into his lap.

"Um..ok thanks" he said gawking as though he had suffered a recent blow to the head. He grabbed the door handle and opened the door, but as he made to get out, his body didn't seem to respond and he remained rooted to the chair despite his struggles, until he heard my laugh and looked around.

I tried desperately to stop my snickers as I muttered, "You need to take your seatbelt off."

He went red in horror and started babbling something incoherent as he fumbled to undo his seatbelt.

I couldn't stop smiling. I reached my hand out to place it on his cheek and closed my eyes briefly at the warm pleasurable sensation that flowed through me. The tingles and warmth just from touching his skin. I leaned over and slowly hesitantly pressed my lips to his.

Noah froze clearly in pure shock as I just revelled in the soft sensation that was so light, so chaste and yet was making my body come to life, in a way that nothing ever had before.

I don't know if Noah felt it too but he seemed to getting over his shock, he seemed to be dithering between running away and Staying put.

I just keep out lips together hoping to prolong this contact for as long as I can, until thankfully my boy decides to just go with it and I feel his hands slip into my hair. That was more than enough encouragement for me as I slid my arms around him deepening our kiss.

The wolf inside me purred at the taste of her mate, at least now I knew what he tasted like. I leaned closer to him across the seats desperate to just get closer as he gripped my hair tightly. I licked his lips gently and Noah growled as if in pain. He released my hair and grabbed me around the waist. He yanked me up dragging me across the seats and plonking me on his lap.

I broke our kiss to frown at him, I wasn't usually the one being manhandled, and to be honest Noah was the last guy I could have imagined actually manhandling me. He even looked baffled by his actions.

I smiled and adjusted my legs so I was properly straddling him and smiled. I may not be used to being manhandled but that doesn't mean I didn't like it. In fact my body was responding in some very obvious ways. I honestly needed to put a choke chain on myself before things got out of hand.

Noah looked at me with a shy but hopeful sort of smile, and any idea of restraint Vanished as I all but flung myself at him our lips fused together passionately as I gripped his hair tightly noting his hands. I was acutely aware of his hands, more than I had ever been with any other man, as nobody had ever made my skin come alive from just a touch like this.

Noah had one hand on my lower back, holding my body pressed tightly to him, as his other hand slid up and down my back occasionally slipping around to stroke the side of my breast, but every time he tried, his nerve seemed to fail him, and his hand went back to my back.

I wish he wouldn't. My breasts were aching. They wanted touches kisses even bites. Hell every inch of my body did, and I was pretty sure the Niagara falls in my pants was going to soak through if I didn't move off his lap soon.

The trouble was I didn't want to, we weren't even mate bonded but the pull of him was so strong. I knew what I should do, what I had to do. I am actually pretty smart most of the time so I understood here what was going to happen, but damn if right now I just didn't give a f**k, his kisses, his scent on me, his tongue licking my mouth, it was all just too damn good to taste.

Noah's hands performed that annoying aborted boob brush again, so I freed my hands from his hair and took both his hands without breaking our kisses and gently placed them on my breasts.

He seemed too stunned to respond, I broke our kiss and kept our faces close. I whispered, "It's okay."

He put his head on one side slightly as if considering me for a second before he smiled, I smiled back. That seemed to work as suddenly our mouths were locked as our passionate kisses resumed.

Noah's hands were both gently stroking my breasts but this didn't make the aching easier, his gentle hesitant touches made everything ache more. The more of him I got, the more I wanted. I wanted this shirt out of the way. I clumsily pulled my shirt over my head.

Noah looked surprised but didn't say anything. My skin exploded with Goosebumps, as his hands were only separated from my skin now by the thin black lace of my bra. Damn I wanted to fling that too but no no that was too fast. Hell this whole situation was escalating too fast. My hands were all over Noah now loving just the feeling of his skin under my fingertips, feeling his muscles twitch as I touched him. I know he didn't feel what I felt, but for me this sensation of just running hand my hands over the bare skin of his arms was amazing.

I began yanking up his shirt awkwardly as he was pushed so tightly into the seat, but thankfully he understood and shuffled up so I could pull the t-shirt over his head. Just the sight of all that bare skin made my wolf growl. I hoped he didn't notice. If he did he didn't seem bothered by it. There was just so much more interesting things to be focused on.

I saw Goosebumps pop up on his skin as I ran my hands over his body. I smiled biting my lip feeling honestly like I was doing something wrong. I guess I am, this definitely isn't smart anyway. Noah leaned over and kisses me and I decide I don't care. His hands slip around me as he starts fiddling with my bra clasp. Wow my boys getting brave.

In my pocket my mobile phone buzzes. I leap back from Noah's embrace and grab it.

"Hello." I said breathlessly.

"Right now Casey. Now." Aiden said the words quietly but I could tell he was pissed.

"I'll be there as soon as I can." I squeaked.

"No be here sooner." I nodded even though he couldn't see it. I flung my phone down as if it was poisonous.

"I have to go." I squeaked jumping out of his lap and back into my seat in a split second. Noah looked shell shocked as I threw him his t-shirt. He pulled it on slowly and then picked up my shirt that he held out tentatively. I took it and threw it in the back, turning up in a bra wouldn't be a problem.

"Ok... did ...I...um." he said quietly.

"No" I said quickly, "But I really need you to go."

"Ok." he said still sounding lost he got out of the car honestly looking like a whipped puppy. I noticed that he looked like he wanted to say something, but I leaned over slammed the door shut and a second later I was racing away.
