Chapter 18
GRAY
I am waiting in our usual spot. I’m a little nervous. I have no idea why. We meet every night. Over the week she has been changing her look. I don’t want to say this, but she is turning into the goddess that I thought she would be. At least if she is my mate. I don’t know. I think so. This is torture. I am pacing in my fur waiting for her to come through the trees.
I can hear her coming before I see her. When her body comes through the trees I am stunned. She is wearing her cheer uniform today. I can see legs that she usually covers up. She sees me watching her. She hopefully doesn’t notice the drooling. What I’m in my fur, it happens. She does a little spin for me and I think my heart stopped. “You like it?”
I nod with my tongue hanging out. I have seen other girls in that same uniform but none of them do what she is doing to me. I shake my head trying to clear my thoughts. She cocks her head to the side. “Is that a yes or a no?”
I nod towards the tree, indicating that she should take her seat. She gets me, she sits and I trot around the tree to the other side. It doesn’t take me long to shift and I have a pair of shorts that I left here yesterday. I slip those on. “I like it very much.” I manage to choke out.
“I’m glad.” I can hear the smile in her voice.
“Close your eyes.”
“Why?”
“Please.”
She sighs. “Alright. They are closed.”
Before I take a seat I move around to the other side of the tree. Her eyes are closed, she is sitting there looking a little irritated. I can smell that boy on her skin again. I think I let out a little growl that I honestly tried to suppress. Yes, I know who he is but I don’t really give a shit. He needs to stop touching her. The best way to do that is to touch her myself. “Keep ’em closed.”
I kneel down next to her and run my fingers behind her ear, pulling her face a little more towards me. I study her face. I have never touched her this way before. It’s different. I can tell it’s different for her too. Her breath has sped up. Her heart is beating hard. “You know Trey shouldn’t be touching you if you don’t want him to.” I slide my fingers down her neck.
“Yeah, well, try telling him that.”
I chuckle. “Maybe I will.” I glide my fingers along her side resting my hand on her hip. “Is this alright? I don’t want to do anything that you don’t like.” I whisper leaning closer.
She shakes her head. “It’s fine.” She sounds a little breathless.
“I’m about to do something that I probably shouldn’t.” I brush my lips against hers. I wait for her response. She doesn’t hesitate. Her lips seek mine. The feeling is amazing. Our lips move in tandem. I feel it through my body, she reaches for mine. I pull her a little closer. I have never been more connected with a person in my life. She moves with me, moaning and pleading for more. I don’t want to stop anyway. That is until I hear some branches snap in the distance. Not too far off.
I pull away from her. “We are not alone.”
She still has her eyes closed. “Which direction?”
“Mine.” I growl. It better not be my mother. “We have to cut today short. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“It will be later. I have to work, remember.”
I look back down at her. “I remember. You remember this.” I give her a soft kiss. “Maybe get that guy to stop kissing you.”
She smiles. “It’s a deal.”
I run away from her, shifting as I move. I head straight to the noise. When I reach her I want to kill her. Mom, what the hell are you doing? Her small gray wolf is almost trembling next to mine.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
You were with her again, weren’t you?
That is none of your business.
I am worried about you. She is going to hurt you.
Right now the only one doing that is you. I growl and snap a little bit. Sometimes I hate the woman that my mom has become. This isn’t even my family’s squabble. She just married that asshole. Maybe that’s why I don’t care about it. Sure I have been raised with that family and am considered a part of it, but I’m not. That blood doesn’t run in my system. This isn’t my fight. Soon I will find out if she is my mate and if she is, you better believe I will take her as my mate. I don’t give a crap about this feud and neither does she.
I take off in a huff. I can’t believe she followed me out here. Not only that but she ruined a completely good kiss. I do have a good thought though. I can see her more this weekend. She just won’t know it’s me.
