Maia's POV
She smiled at the question. They had been talking all morning getting to know each other, even though she felt as if shed known him all her life.
She pondered the question a bit. Why wouldnt she want to see his house if he'd already been in hers. Is he trying to move too fast?
Maia didnt honestly care if he was trying to move fast, she could feel something special about him.
She wouldnt move fast enough to show him her true self, or what she had just learned last night. But she would definitely let him know her human side.
She smiled wider, "I'd love to."
The relief that crossed his face was enough to make her giggle.
He quickly placed their dishes in her sink and promised to wash them later.
She let out a soft chuckle, "I do own a washing machine, theres no need to wash anything but the pans."
He blushed slightly, "I dont know how to fill those." said Daniel, looking embarrassed.
He crossed the kitchen and hugged her, grabbing her around the waist.
"Lets go to my place and I'll cook lunch and dinner for the both of us." He whispered in her ear.
She felt a slow shiver run down her spine.
All she could do was nod slightly, not knowing what else she could do.
She let him pull her to the door before he suddenly stopped mid living room.
He turned to look at her, his eyes running through her body slowly.
Maia felt the same shiver but this time her heart started to pound crazily inside her chest.
"You might want to bring some extra clothes. I have a really nice pool we might get thrown in." said Daniel with a shrug.
Maia laughed, "someone at your house that you know will do that?" she asked.
Without knowing, she pulled him towards her bedroom, only stopping when she saw her bed in front of them.
The room was quiet.
She turned to face him and blushed instantly, not ready to see the reaction she had just won.
His lips seemed to call out to her, begging her to kiss him. His eyes were already on her, steadily taking her in.
She was suddenly very aware of her bed directly behind them.
As if her body had a mind of its own, she took a step closer to him, running her right hand up his arm and towards his neck.
He responded quickly to her.
Suddenly he was really close to her, his arms on both the sides of her hips...pulling her even closer to him.
She took a few steps back, pulling him, until she was directly touching her bed.
His heart beat was pounding hard against her left hand that lay on his chest.
She moved so as to put him against the bed and pushed him to sit on it.
She bent down slightly, making sure to place her lips against his and kiss him.
The kiss instantly sent shocks of electricity shooting through her body.
Maia pulled back, somehow she had started to breath heavily.
"Wait for me while I get some clothes." whispered Maia onto Daniel's lips.
Without thinking, she kissed him again, sending more fire and electricity running through her body.
His hands held her close, not wanting to let her go.
He pulled her into his lap, slowly kissing her back.
Her mind was mush and her body was putty in his hold.
Maia couldn't pull back again, not because he held her, but because he was holding her.
His lips were soft and gentle against hers, as if he was trying to tell her something in each kiss.
Suddenly he grabbed her hair and pulled her head slightly back.
His lips then went to her neck, slowly kissing and causing her body to burn hotter.
He stopped on the right side of her neck, just below her ear.
His body shivered slightly as he kissed her there.
"Get your clothes." he whispered into her neck.
Maia's eyes fluttered open slightly, she didnt want go stop.
She didnt know why he had stopped, but she was glad he did.
She went into her closet and grabbed a black 2 piece bathing suit and changed her t shirt into a criss cross halter top.
She grabbed her ruby necklace from its box and put it on, wanting to look stunning for him in her regular clothes.
She placed her bathing suit in a black back pack along with a sweater just in case they'd stay too late at his house.
September was known to be a chilly month during the night.
She came back outside to her bedroom to see Daniel still trying to level his breathing.
"Ready?" asked Maia.
He stared at her.
As if not trusting his voice, he simply walked over to her and took her hand as he walked out of her bedroom and to her front door.
They walked out of the building and to his SUV.

Daniel's POV
He hadnt been able to speak to her, he couldn't trust thqt he would say something that wouldnt provoke either him or her into another kissing torment.
Fenrir had almost gained control, his desire for their mate taking over all his senses.
He couldnt blame Fenrir, he was dieing with desire for her as well.
His mate hadnt made it easy too, her tight clothing only reminding him of what had almost happened in her bedroom.
He had wanted to mark her there and then.
The only thing that had stopped him was knowing that hed have to explain to her what had happened and why.
His canines were already out, itching to bit into her perfect brown skin.
The memory caused his desire to return.
He knew he had to hold it together, he had to show he had found his Luna to his family. That was the only way that they'd accept his sudden break-up with Melissa.
He was already half way away from the villa when he felt Maia lean in and rest her head on his shoulder. The very motion causing his heart to speed again.
"So, who's at your house?" asked Maia.
He cleared his thoat, "mostly my two best friend and their girlfriend's. I think Luke is still there too...and maybe my parents..." he tried to mumble the last part, but guessing from her sudden tension, he had failed.
"Your parents?" she asked again.
"I guess they dropped by a few seconds ago. Only for a minute though, on their way to flaggstaff..." he trailed off.
Maia seemed to relax at that.
She grabbed his hand in hers, as if to reassure herself.
Daniel could feel Fenrir stir with approval at the contact, obviously infatuated with how affectionate their mate was.
They drove in silence, enjoying each others company and the soft music that played in the background.
Daniel wondered if Maia could feel the mate bond calling on her, if that was why she seemed to be just as on board with their entire interactions as he was.
He only smiled, realizing what he was saying.
Maia was human...she would feel a connection but nothing more. She would feel their connection when they were a marked pair. Until then, she would feel their connection as a human would.
Do not doubt that pur mate can feel something like we can. Her every action shows that she is motivated by the same bond we feel. Fenrir warned.
Daniel stayed quiet at that.
Fenrir would never lie to him about their mate...but she was human. Maybe their connection was due to something having to due with how she could radiat such warmth like she had last night.
The warmth that had eased all of his tension and worries.
He had never felt such at peace.
Daniel continued to think about all of this when a very familiar house crept up in front of them. A black Jeep Cherokee parked in front of it.
His parent's were waiting for them.
Its time for our Luna to claim her rightful place.
