The Huntress and her Alpha

Chapter Eighteen

Now that Lip and I had finally admitted how we felt it took all my will power to leave his bed. After our nap I went back to my room to grab some clothes and left Lip sleep a little longer. When I came back showered and fully dressed I found him awake on his phone.

“I don’t want to go with the girls.” I crawled back onto his bed, my damp hair hanging over my shoulder. “I want to stay in our little bubble.”

Lip laughed, his big hand coming up to my cheek. “I want to stay in bed all day too, my love. But this needs done and then we’ll get to spend every single night together.”

I smiled. “I like when you call me that.” I leaned into him and kissed him softly. “I don’t understand what needs changed. Your suite is huge. You even have two extra bedrooms and a kitchen.”

Lip laughed. “The closet needs redone to fit your clothes and I want this to be our home not just mine. This is our suite, the alpha suite. Its meant for a family. I didn’t change anything when my parents died so it’s outdated and well frankly now I have a reason to redecorate. So let me redo it for you.”

I rolled my eyes. “You males are so extravagant.”

He laughed against my lips as someone knocked on the door. They didn’t wait for an answer, they pushed their way into the suite and then I heard Sarah’s high pitch squeal.

“Oh my gosh.” I heard a second pair of foot steps approach the bedroom door.

I sighed. “They’re here.”

Lip laughed again as he looked at me. “So it would seem.”

“You two finally did it.” Aimee sounded like she was smiling at us. I pulled away and stood up off the bed, facing the two best friends I had made in this pack.

Their eyes roamed over my neck and I knew what they were looking for. “No he didn’t mark me. We just… mated or whatever you call it.”

My cheeks were on fire as they both laughed. Then Lip stood up wearing only his boxers and went to the closet. I grabbed my shoes and pulled them on, realizing my dirty clothes from last night left a trail from the bathroom into the room.

“Are you happy?” Aimee asked quietly as I stood there waiting for Lip to come back out of the closet.

I smiled, feeling weightless for the first time since I had gotten here. “Yeah. He makes me very happy.”

She nodded as Lip came out dressed for whatever he was going to do while they worked on our room. He had on dark jeans and a black shirt. I bit my lip feeling the overwhelming desire to jump him again. Last night and this morning hadn’t been enough.

His eyes flashed with the same desire as he looked at me and I knew he could either read my face or he just knew what I was thinking. He smiled as he walked over and touched my cheek.

“Tonight.” He whispered kissing my temple. I nodded, not sure how I was supposed to wait that long.

“Nice hickey there big brother.” Sarah broke our moment and I could tell she was trying to hide her laughter as Lip’s cheeks turned red.

Lip glanced at me. “Yeah well. I’ll get her back.”

I smiled and kissed him sweetly before stepping away. “It’s for your protection. Those she wolves need to stop staring at you. Now they know. Or you know, they’ll smell me on you too.”

“Honey Lip has smelled like you ever since you two met.” Aimee raised an eyebrow at us. “Sleeping together just makes it less awkward to everyone else.”

Now I was blushing. “Really? I smell like Lip? Your noses are amazing.”

Sarah laughed. “My brother’s scent is all over you. It’s a lot stronger now. But anyways. Let’s go get our relaxation on, I don’t want to talk about Lip’s s*x life anymore.”

Aimee laughed loudly as Lip’s cheeks blushed again. “We’ll lucky for you, Max, I want to hear every single detail.”

Lip grabbed my hand and pulled me back into his chest, kissing me harder than he had before. “Have fun.” Then he glanced at the two girls standing behind us. “Please behave you two and don’t scare her off.”

“She’s been here this long. I don’t think anything can scare her at this point.” Aimee said watching as I kissed my mate once more.

I let out a breath as I pulled back, my hand pressed against his cheek. “I love you.”

His crooked smile was my favorite. “I love you too sweetheart.”

“Okay. You’re not going off to war, we’re keeping you occupied while the boys redo this room. So let’s go, we’ll bring her back in a few hours.” Sarah grabbed me away from her brother and pulled me out the door.

“You two are worse than any other mated couple I know.” Sarah muttered as my mind cleared and I could think straight again.

Aimee laughed. “So spill. When did you two finally say those three words? What happened?”

I blushed as we walked out of the pack house together. “I don’t know. He was covered in blood and I just realized that if I kept waiting I might lose him before I truly had him.” Aimee smiled knowingly. “I told him I loved him first.”

Sarah squealed now. “You did not!”

I nodded. “I did. When we were uh… together last night, I told him I love him. Because I do. With my entire heart I love that man. It scares the s**t out of me, but I wanted, no I needed him to know.”

Aimee wrapped her arm around my shoulder. “Little Max is growing up.” She squeezed my shoulder gently and I laughed. “Looks like Black Forest has their very own Hunter now.”

“Okay enough about me please. How are you?” I didn’t see any injuries on Aimee. “You were attacked!”

Aimee rolled her eyes as Sarah directed us towards a black car in the parking lot. “I was fine, Jack over reacted. You know how those males can be.” Aimee got in the back, letting me have the front. “He saw the wolf on me and saw red. I was holding my own pretty well. Anyways, he called for Lip who then in turn had to fight a few wolves himself. Which was what all that blood was from.”

“He didn’t tell me that.” I whispered as I looked out the window.

“Well it sounds like you two were otherwise occupied.” Sarah said laughing as she pulled out of the parking lot. “Don’t hold it against him.”

“Listen if you want me to stay in this car and go wherever we’re gonna stop talking about my mate. Because I did not want to leave him after the night and morning we had together.”

I wasn’t even embarrassed anymore. I wanted him, I gave into that feeling completely. I wanted him all the time, which meant I had to let him do whatever he wanted to that bedroom so we could spend every single night wrapped up together.

Sarah smiled as she glanced over at me. “Love looks good on you, Max.”
