My Female Alpha

Chapter 11- Forehead Kisses

(Kenzie's POV)

I listened to his sweet admission with equal parts hope and fear. I had no idea what any of it would mean for the future of my pack but I kept coming back to the fact that the Moon Goddess had chosen him for me, for us.

There was no doubt in my mind that everything he was saying was the truth. It explained the pull that I had felt for Quinton. From the moment that I had laid eyes on him, everything about him called to me. Even his scent overwhelmed me with its perfection. It made complete sense and I felt reassured that I wasn’t losing it. 

Sometime during his explanation, he started playing with my fingers and I could feel my body getting closer and closer to his. It was like he was a magnet and my body gravitated towards his without me even being aware that it was happening. 

My heart was racing and my mind was spinning, but not with the previous fear, more with hope. The more I listened to him the more I longed for this as a possibility. 

The way that I felt when I was with him, was unlike anything I had ever experienced.  Although I had no idea how we could possibly make this work, I also knew that the mate connection wasn't one to be ignored. 

"I... my pack, I don't know..." He inclined his head to indicate that he was listening to me but also pulled me onto his lap, turning me around so that I was straddling him and so our faces were touching. His actions had my thoughts in disarray and I couldn’t seem to get out a complete sentence but he still listened to me babbling.

He rubbed his big hands up and down my back, soothingly and finally interrupted my nonsense. He said, "How about we take it one day at a time, you have a couple of weeks before you're 18, we could take that time to figure it and this out?"

 Who was I to argue with that kind of rational idea? And why would I even want too? I still was struggling to form words and so I simply nodded. I couldn’t help grin as I felt his giant sigh of relief when I agreed. 

Then as if he couldn't help himself, he brushed our lips together. 

When I didn't pull away he smiled into the kiss and I couldn’t help but return it. Then he started nibbling and licking at my lips and neither of us was smiling any more. 

Maybe it was selfish but I didn't want to think about any of this right now and decided to just embrace this moment. 

My hands stroked the back of his neck and played in the ends of his hair as we devoured each other's mouths. He kept taking little nibbles of my lips and with each nibble, I found myself more and more turned on. 

As our tongues tangled, I found myself closing any distance that existed between us, with my breasts pushed up against his chest and his hard length grinding against me. We were both completely lost in the moment, until he put his hands down on my thighs to push harder and I grimaced at the pain. "Kenzie, s**t! I'm sorry I forgot that you're hurt." 

He stopped  immediately and was resting his forehead against mine and in the sweetest gesture kissed my lips one more time, kissed my forehead and lifted me off him. I don't know what it is about forehead kisses that completely destroy me but as he shifted me to be sitting next to him, my racing heart was in permanent flutter mode. 

I was sitting in the crook of his arm and with his other hand he reached out and tucked some stray hair behind my ear. I smiled at his consideration, knowing he was worried that he had hurt me and touched his arm, “I’m okay!” 

How had I not recognized these sparks for what they were?? He looked at me in relief and then started to showcase our lunch.

I was impressed as he pulled out sandwich's, peanut butter cookies and a chocolate milk. Honestly, who was this guy? I looked at him in surprise that he knew both my drink and dessert of choice and he winked and said, "noticed yesterday at lunch." 

I felt my heart melting all over again and tried to give myself a toughen up pep talk. But oh my moon goddess, was he not the sweetest, most perfect guy that I'd ever come across. 

We spent the afternoon lazing by the lake, talking about anything and everything. I completely lost track of time and was shocked when Ty mind linked at the end of the day to ask me where I was. When I told Quinton the time, he offered to take me home. 

I would have loved to stay with him, just like this but knew that I really should get going to see how the day had gone for Izzy. I was a little alarmed that I had completely forgotten my responsibilities and had just been basking in everything Quinton Silver for the better part of the day. 

I said as much to him as he walked me to my side of the jeep and he shrugged and said, "if something had needed to be done you would have been all over it. It's okay to just take some time for you and I wouldn't have wanted either of us to be anywhere else." 

I yet again found myself staring at him with my mouth wide open, trying to get a handle on how he made me feel. Not as good with my words as he is, I reached up on my tip toes and kissed him, it was starting to deepen when he pulled away and gently, lifted me up into the jeep and buckled me up. He gave me another chaste peck and simply stated, "you're hurt".
