Oh s**t!

I look up. I stop. Just for a second. Then I move.

I kick his feet out from under him, even as I'm breathing him in.

My God. He smells good. He smells absolutely, positively amazing!

Just cause he smells good and is beyond awesome does not mean he's a good person.

Focus. Ruby, you just need to focus. Deep breath in. Deep breath out.

I'm straddling him. Crap, s**t. He feels good. I can feel him growing underneath me and wow!

What am I suppose to do now? Oh. I should probably speak. But all I want to do is cuddle him. I look up again. And find him staring at me.

His eyes are gorgeous. A pretty green. And our staring into my soul.

He's perfect.

Just like my mate should be.

Wait. What?

Who said anything about mates. He's my mate.

Shit, Shitty, s**t, s**t.

I'm not ready. I don't want a mate. I'm leaving for school. I have a pack to run. Oh no. What am I going to do.

I'm straddling my mate. My Mate. Straddling. I should get up. But I don't want to. He's really warm and smells really good.

I should just lay on top of him, stay like this.

Before I even realize it, I do something incredibly embarrassing.

I lean down and take a giant whiff of him and close my eyes. As if I was savoring food. Now it's not that embarrassing, but I should not be doing this. My thoughts get interrupted by the most magical voice I've ever heard.

"Mate."

He just called me mate. He knows we're mates. Now what do I do?

I should kiss him.

NO!

But his lips look perfect. His bottom lip just a bit bigger than the top one.

Nope. I will not kiss him.

I'm staring at his lips now.

I should kiss him.

It'd be if I didn't. Right?

Oh god he just licked his lips.

I'm kissing him.

Without overthinking it, I press my lips too his. And it's like the whole goddamned world comes into focus.

His tongue touches the seam of my lips and I part them. He slowly, hesitantly sticks his tongue in my mouth. And I can't help, but moan. He tastes of chocolate cake.

I want more. I really, really want more.

He rolls us over so he's on top. I keep my eyes closed for a minute before I open them.

I look at him. He's wow. Just Wow!

He has thick black hair that's a little curly. He has a lovely nose. Not to small, but not to big. Not to pointy, but not to round. His eyes. His eyes are absolutely captivating and the perfect shape. His lips, oh, his lips make me want to do things that I shouldn't. His skin tone is magnificent with his hair and eyes. Looks like Latino coloring. I don't know, but he's utterly gorgeous.

I shake my head I need to stop. I don't even know who this guy is.

Then he grinds against me and I lose my train of thought for a second.

"Stop." Barely a whisper, but he heard it. He pauses. Looking at me. I can't meet his stare or I'll fall under his spell again.

"Who are you?" I ask. It feels like everything's in slow motion. All of this has happened in just a few moments, but it feels like it's been a lifetime.

He stares a me for a few seconds. Then he lift me up by my waist. The whole time he's staring at me.

"We should go somewhere private and talk." All I want to do is go with him, but I can't.

"No?" I shake my head. I'm trying to think clearly, but everything about him is enchanting. His focus is on me and only me. And it's doing things to me. I shake my head again.

"Collin?" My voice is low, and husky; sounding nothing like it normally does.

The dude growls. He f*****g growls. His eyes flare brown. Making his eyes even prettier than they were before. His eyes remind me of the forest, they have green on the inside and brown, melting into the green, on the outside. He's so awesome if only I knew his name.

A throat clears somewhere behind me. Tall, dark, handsome, who's way, way taller then me, puts his arm around me and pulls me to his chest. He's still growling so I can feel the vibrations against my back. And let me just say it feels amazing.

I shiver. Not from the cold, but from his touch.

He's bared his teeth by the time I look away from that damn nice face and see who cleared their throat.

It's Collin. And King Moises is standing right next to him. Mo looks smug, and Collin looks both smug and a bit worried.

I have no idea why they'd be smug. What's to be smug about? I look back at my mate, but he's still looking behind him. Which makes me kind of mad. I should be his center of attention right now.

His grip in me tightens and he looks down.

I could stare at those beautiful green emeralds all day. I must get lost in them because he looks up really fast, and I feel like I'm in a daze. Looking backwards very slowly.

"Ruby!" Collin shouts. He seems frustrated so I'm going to take a wild guess and say he's called my name a few times.

Tall, dark and handsome has been growling this whole time, but he suddenly stops growling and looks at me.

"Ruby?" He looks nervous and hesitant to speak to me. Maybe he's afraid to break the spell or something. But honestly I don't care. I feel like my whole purpose has been fulfilled just by him saying my name.

"That's me." I squeak. I sound kind of weak, but I don't think anyone can blame me when they see this giant of a man. Just by looking at him you can tell he's a warrior and that he could charm the panties off any straight woman in a 3 mile radius.

I think Collin's still calling my name, but I don't care. The only thing I really care about this second is the beautiful male specimen holding me in his arms.

"Kai."
