"It's okay. Everything will be fine. If you got this far then my guess is that, you walked each and every night? You must be tired if not Hungry?." Marcus had blurted out all at once.He is not one to stammer in front of another. Especially not in front of a woman but Laura had him acting like a teenage boy in love for the first time in his twenty nine years of existence.Maybe he is still a complete child after all.Werewolves are always known to be confident and in touch with their emotion but all that confidence thingy seems to have dissolved into air the moment he met his mate Laura. Laura couldn't help but snickered at Marcus nervousness and it was the best sound Marcus had heard in a long while if not his whole life."I can't exactly say am dying of hunger right now but I'm alright. I still have a bottle of water and a half eaten bar of chocolate in my bag if you want some" She offered and quickly began to reach for her bag to retrieve it but stopped half way by Marcus next wor
Marcus haven't let go of her hand since he took her by the hand in the middle of their work He couldn't release and the situation even demands he holds her hand without passing himself as possessive or anything. Aside from the urge to keep her close to himself, he always wanted to give her part of his warmth just in case she was freezing from the cold.Holding on to her thin, fragile fingers in his large and callused ones seems so unreal even to him. It was a strange feeling for him but from the little smile on her face, he could tell she was more than okay with their current situation to think about what his palm looked like and that he was grateful for. But then again, the feel of her soft skin against his was not really helping him. His already harden erection was growing by the second and he doesn't know how long he'd go before he exploded.With a huge visible bulge in his pant, he continued to lead her through fallen logs and mountain of snow covering the ground. Her safety wa
His movement was so swift that she fell right into his chest, their lips almost brushing when she looked up to face him. Marcus watched her suck in a deep breath as she came down from the high of the moment. The way her nipple was pressed against him, had his inside on a hot coal and he almost felt himself squirt.Fuck."Are you okay? You almost didn't see that one" Marcus said with a nervous chuckle."I'm sorry. I was just uhm, sort of distracted." She said with a sigh before looking down at her feet.Marcus could tell he made her nervous as much as she did him and that was good. It was a step closer. He was sure.Shortly afterward, they began to move again, this time in complete awkward silence before Marcus decided to break it with his next question."So, uhm, do you have like a_ " "_Boyfriend?" She quickly finished for him and he nodded."Yeah, do you have a boyfriend?"She shook her head slightly before looking back at him. "Sam and I are just friends. He tells me he likes me
Laura was deep in her own thought as they went. Its crazy to think that she just met this man and yet he had so handed her a compliment just as easily without a second thought.Something Sam couldn't do even though they had known each other since high school.Laura could tell he likes her and hell, she likes him too but then again, it's being barely hours since she opened her eyes and saw him. He is just so unreal.He knows how to say and do the right things. So much so that it frightened and excite her at the same time.The more she thought of him, the more the smile on her face grew until she couldn't hide it anymore. "What's so funny?" His voice had caught through her thought and pulling her to look back at him."Ah, it's nothing. I'm just thinking to myself""A penny for your thought then?"Her mouth parted and then closed before she shrugged it off."I'm just thinking how crazy it is that I had to be lost before finding someone who calls me pretty instead of hot or sexy""Well,
Without being told, Marcus knew all along that they were being followed hence his decision to keep moving. He was waiting for the perfect moment to show his face, Marcus knew it'd be best to use the same time to cover enough ground as well.Maybe he should have told Laura the truth a little sooner but still, there was no guarantee she wouldn’t have reacted the same way she did and now instead of trusting him to keep her safe, he took off running.Without thinking about the situation much, he quickly sprang into action, shredding his human skin just as quickly as he went chasing after her.Lin wasn’t far behind either as he moved with supernatural ease. He was suddenly in her way before she could even make it more than a few steps, halting Laura in her steps as well.“Not so fast darling. You and I are going to have a lot of fun tonight minus that nosy little boyfriend of yours” Lin said and Laura quickly took a step away from him.“He is not my boyfriend and I’m not going anywhere wit
As they walked on, Marcus realized, her steps were becoming slow as compared to when they first started out, so he decided to asked just to make sure she is fine."Laura are you ok?"She smiled, “I’m okay, just exhausted from the walk but I will be fine”"Do you want a ride? Like a piggy ride?" he asked nervously before adding, “its just a friendly offer though"She smiled and almost squealed yes! but then with his brothers just a step ahead of them, they might think something else had happened, so she put her emotions in check.“Are you sure? I don't want to be a bother seeing how stressed you have had to go through because of me”Marcus grabbed her hand, bringing them both to a quick stop as he turned her around to face him.“You’re never a bother to me, Laura and I can go to any length just for you so come on, just hop on" He said and bend before her knowing she won't probably refuse him as his offer will override the uneasiness his brothers were causing her especially stupid Jacks
On the drive back to her home. Laura couldn’t keep her mind from thinking about the kiss she shared with Marcus a while ago. It was the best kiss she has ever had and to think he is not even her boyfriend is another thing she couldn’t understand.She loved how he made her feel, every fiber of her being seem to respond to his touch. Maybe it was too soon to say she loved him, but one thing she couldn’t deny was the fact that, they connected so well even better than she had ever done with whatever existed between she and her ex Sam.Laura never thought a day like this would come but It was scary and at the same time fascinating, meeting someone for the very first time and connecting with them so well. Maybe they had met in their previous life before. Maybe that’s pretty much explains why they were met.Their car went over a bump, pulling her out of her train of thoughts as she turned to stare at Marcus. He has been awfully quiet and she could only imagine why. Laura really wished she co
Lucien and Jackson got home hoping to see Marcus so they could explain what had taken place in his absence. Lucien also had questions, never had he seen Marcus act the way he did that night or did he by any chance sleep with Laura or had something sensual with her because the tension in the car was terrible and choking.They liked her nonetheless, it's been far too long since they had any contact with any female. They had even agreed, it was better not to even find their mates especially with Lin still alive and far more stronger than they were.They both tried mind linking him but he had them blocked, something he haven’t done before unless he wasn't in the mood for questions and answers, which is another reason the brothers found his attitude a little strange. Maybe something else was wrong with him and badly needs his alone time to cool off.Somewhere not far off, Marcus was back in his human form and in need of an escape and that was what the bar he was currently headed provided.
