Come Away With Me
Everlee
As we reach the bottom of the staircase I see a large, good looking, sandy-haired man waiting to greet us. He stands almost as tall as Lennox with a similar build. He has kind eyes that are the color of pure honey and a warm smile, his voice is soft, but strong. I wonder if all wolves are as beautiful as these two.
“Hello Alpha.”
He bows slightly at Lennox before turning his gaze to me.
“Welcome, my Luna. It is so nice to meet you. I can’t tell you how happy I am, that my best friend here has finally found his mate.”
I blush at the title. Luna? What is all this Luna stuff about? I smile at him.
“Thank you, please, just call me Everlee. It’s very nice to meet you too…”
I realize I don’t know his name.
“Zeke. I’m Lennox’s Beta, and best friend.”
He playfully elbows Lennox and his motion causes Lennox to brush against my breast. I have to bite my lip to keep from moaning from the pleasure sparks that erupt, causing my n****e to harden. I glance at Lennox and his eyes seemed to darken for a moment. I think I hear a low growl come from him.
He places his hand at the small of my back and leads me into the dining room. A small table is set for the three of us and the smell of breakfast tells me food will soon be served. I didn’t even realized I was that hungry, but the smell of the bacon seems to rouse my appetite. Lennox pulls out my chair and sits next to me. We make pleasant small talk as we eat the amazing breakfast that is served to us. Eggs and bacon, fried potatoes with onions and peppers, and a homemade biscuit with honey butter. I have no problem cleaning my plate.
“Breakfast was delicious! Thank you so much!” I tell the older woman who serves us. She smiles sweetly.
“Oh, it’s no problem, happy to serve such a wonderful Alpha and Beta.”
She clears our plates and hurries back into the kitchen. Lennox and Zeke just smile at her kind words.
She seemed genuine with her compliment. Not brown nosing, just stating a fact. It makes me grin. If his pack feels this fondly for him, he is obviously a good guy, right?
Please, Goddess Lyra, let him be as amazing as I think he is!
My senses are so overwhelmed by being near Lennox that it is hard to concentrate on the conversation with Zeke. Flashes of my dream from the night before keep coming to the front of my mind. Lennox and Zeke are discussing “Pack business” which I assume means work stuff, because I understand none of it. Which gives my mind time to wander. I sit quietly investigating every inch of Lennox.
Goddess he is remarkable! His green eyes have flakes of what look like gold, they seem to sparkle when he looks at me. His smile is kind, his lips… oh what I want to do to those lips.
I bite my lip just thinking about it. Suddenly he is looking at me.
“Would that be ok, Love?”
He looks at me with a smirk, knowing I hadn’t heard a damn thing they said.
“What?”
I blush. Since when do I blush so much? They both chuckle and I can’t help but laugh a bit at myself.
“Sorry, I was… distracted.”
I look at him hungrily, undressing him with my eyes.
Whoa! Who am I? Did I just do that?
I quickly shift my gaze down. Maybe he didn’t notice. But a low growl tells me he most definitely did. My face is going to be permanently blushed around this man!
“I would like to take you to my cabin for the week, get to know each other better. I have a lot of explaining to do. If we stay here much longer the pack will hear that I have found my mate and we won’t have a second to ourselves. I want you to have all the information, and time you need to decide what you want.”
The lust that was in his eyes a second ago has softened but the gold flecks are still sparkling, and he looks at me with so much emotion in his gaze. Like he is begging me to say yes. He reaches forward and grabs my hand, I gasp at his touch. Is it always going to be like this when he touches me? I can definitely get used to that. This mate thing seems like a no-brainer, and a week all alone in a cabin in the woods with him?! Umm yes please!
“I would love that.”
His smile gets bigger and he lets out a breathe I didn’t realize he had been holding.
“Great! I’ll have a bag packed for you and we will leave in an hour.”
Zeke smiles, obviously glad that his best friend is so happy. But it doesn’t quite meet his eyes. I wonder about his mate, but don’t want to create an awkward situation by asking. I’ll find out soon enough. I can’t help but feel excited about the upcoming week. It’s like Lennox’s joy is infectious.
I pray to the Goddess Lyra that this all works out. I need to calm down and wait for all the information. But if I’m being honest, one look at Lennox and I know in my heart, there is nothing he could say or do that will make me want to leave him.
Lennox
I stand at the car waiting for Everlee to come down.
“I’ve got everything handled, Alpha. All you need to concentrate on for the next 7 days, is convincing our Luna to accept you.”
Zeke is a perfectly competent Beta, and the only reason I feel confident that the pack will be fine without me for a week. I nod in agreement but never take my gaze from the door to the packhouse. I hate the anxiety I feel when she is out of my sight. Just as I am about to go in and find her, the door swings open and she is walking toward me. Every time I lay eyes on her my wolf leaps with joy. I wonder if this would have been easier if she was a wolf as well. I don’t care that she isn’t a wolf, but I know so little about fairies, I’m just not sure she can feel our bond as strongly as Drake and I do. Which is another issue we will have to address this week. Because Everlee doesn’t have a wolf, Drake doesn’t have a wolf mate. His attachment to Everlee will be just as strong as mine, but I do feel a bit sad for him.
It’s well known that humans feel only a tiny bit of the bond, even other types of supernaturals feel it differently. Mating is engrained in a wolf. It is part of our DNA. The only time another race experiences mating is with a wolf. The possibility is known about in every race except human, because it isn’t uncommon for wolves to mate outside of their race. The moon Goddess chooses mates based on the persons soul, not their race.
“Are you ready?”
I grin as she reaches the car and slides into the passenger seat.
“Yes.”
She smiles and blushes as our eyes lock. The way she blushes when I’m around makes me want her even more. I need to touch her. To be near her. I grab the seat belt and lean across her lap, locking it into place next to her hip. I never take my eyes off of hers, I start to lean back out of the car when I notice a strand of hair that has fallen loose from her braid, I can’t help myself. I reach my hand up and tuck the tres behind her ear, lightly trailing my fingertip across her face. Her blue eyes widen at my touch and she turns her face in toward my palm. She obviously craves my touch as much as I crave to touch her. Maybe she does feel the bond as strong as me. I bring my other hand up to cup the opposite side of her face. I place a kiss on her forehead and a soft moan escapes her lips. I withdraw before I can no longer stop myself. I shut her door and walk around the car, adjusting myself, attempting to hide the erection I had gotten just from that small bit of affection from her.
Damn! All she had to do was nuzzle her face into my hand and moan and I’m hard as a rock?! Goddess help me, if she rejects me, I will die.
