Not Quite a Faerie Princess ch.6

I was in my room playing possum. I was hiding from my so called grandmother this morning seeing as I dragged my way into the house around 2am and snuck pass Mary asleep on the couch.

I had already heard Paula and Mary discussing me this fine morning. It seems that Mary wanted to barge into my room this morning and find out where I had been last night considering that I had snuck out of the house last evening without telling her or anyone else where I was going, but Paula told her that I was an adult and that I could take care of myself.

I got up and looked in the mirror and I would have to dispute that comment seeing as I looked like I had been hit by a bus. I had bags under my eyes and bruises on my upper legs and I had a couple of scratches on my neck. I don't remember how I got them, seeing as Ashley was more or less just licking and sucking there, 'She did run her teeth over where her mark was suppose to be' I thought and that was the wrong thing to think seeing as that just caused a niggling in my lower regions.

"Damn." I said out loud.

"Spencer, are you up?" Mary said through the door. I slapped a hand over my mouth and ducked to the side of the bed.

I don't know why I'm hiding; I mean it's just Mary….Mother Nature…..aka all knowing, and I know that she couldn't see me through the door, but still here I am hiding behind the bed, and I didn't want to come out of hiding just yet so here I was. I wasn't ready to face them. Except I couldn't stay in here forever and sure enough just like that my stomach let out a god awful grumble.

I looked around no food in my room.

Alright Plan B it is then. Only there was no Plan B. There should always be a Plan B. Didn't I learn that the last time I was here.

I'm sitting on the side of the bed afraid to go out of my room and can still hear movement out there and then I hear Mary say "Truman, keep and eye out for Spencer I'm going out for a walk and I expect her to be here when I get back." Truman must have replied in his kiss up manner because the next thing I heard was "I wish she took her responsibilities as serious as you do Truman." Then there was some more mumbling and then I heard, "Good man, maybe you can sit with us at dinner and show her how to be a proper princess."

That was it I fell back into the bed and pulled the blanket over my head. If she wanted someone like Truman to be Princess then so be it. Let's see what the other Fae have to say about a sprite being Princess not only a sprite but a male sprite no less.

I wonder what Ashley did last night after she left me on the beach, I hope everything was alright. I hope she didn't get someone to help her with her scratch so to speak…..

"Damn, know I'm in a bad mood." I said as I slugged my pillow. "Take a deep breath, and calm down." I said as I inhaled and released slowly, that worked all of fifteen seconds when all I could picture was someone sitting on Ashley's lap and their hands every where. "Hell, she doesn't remember me from Adam…..I have no claim on her here…..If I have my way I'll change that fact as fast as I can." I said to myself as I stood up from the bed and moved to the closet.

Hopefully I could get dressed and sneak out before Mary got back.

#########################################

Last night I went back to the spot that I had left my blond blue eyed beauty only to find her gone. I decided to transform and follow her scent to see where she lived, and now here I am sitting up on a bluff down from my beach house looking out across the beach to the only other beach house.

How had I not noticed her? She only lived a couple hundred yards or so down from me.

I was still sitting there when an older woman came out of the house followed by another woman and they looked to be arguing over something. I wonder what that could be.

I had very sensitive hearing and even I had a problem making out what they were saying. I made out the name Spencer, and settling down with someone.

I heard a rumbling and I looked around until I figured out the rumbling was coming from me. 'Who the hell is Spencer and what does he have to do with my blond?' I thought to myself as I decided to get closer to the house to see if I could see her.

I'm up behind the house now and I can smell three individuals inside two males and my mate. But something was off about the smell, I just couldn't put my finger on it.

I feel kind of like a pervert sneaking around but I got to know if she's seeing someone else. I came upon another window but the curtains are drawn closed on it, just like the others. So I decide to take the direct approach and knock on the sliding glass door facing the beach when I see her backing out of it and closing it silently.

########################################

'So now I'm a fugitive from my own home…so to speak.' I thought as I slid the glass door as quietly as possible. I had asked Truman to fix me a light breakfast as I wasn't feeling well and he agreed, but before he would leave me he had asked Glen to keep an eye on me. Boy was that a mistake as Glen is so easily distracted with shiny objects. All I had to do was to turn over my jewelry box on the floor and while he was distracted I snuck out of the room. I stopped at the kitchen and grabbed a piece of toast off a plate on the counter and slipped by Truman as he had his head in the fridge looking for something.

I decided that the toast would hold me over till I could get to the coffee house up on Main Street. I had just finished my toast when someone put a hand on my upper arm and turned me around.

#################################################

I grabbed my blond by the arm and turned her around to face me when she let out a little squeak. It was adorable. "I'm not nearly done with you yet." I said as I looked her in the eyes.

################################################

A very undignified squeak left my lips as I was turned around and I came face to face with Ashley. She looked hot. Not only hot but very determined. I had seen that look on her face before and I very much wanted to see that look again…..just not yet.

"We need to talk." I said as I removed my arm from her grip.

"Isn't there enough talking in the world?" Ashley asked with a smirk.

Who in there right mind wouldn't agree with that? I so wanted to agree to that and my body was way willing to agree with that only for that loud grumbling noise that was coming from my stomach. I looked up to Ashley and she had a twinkle in her eyes.

"Would you like to go for that breakfast I promised you?" she asked.

I wanted to say no but my stomach grumbled again, that was when she took things into her own hands and led me the rest of the way to the coffee shop. "They have the best lattes here, as well as some pretty sweet muffins." She said as she led me over to the corner booth.

She left me and went up to the counter to order when she came back she had a mocha latte and a vanilla latte and blue berry muffin. She put the latte and muffin in front of me and the latte in front of her.

"How did you know?" I asked

"Know what?" she asked me back.

"What I like." I said.

"I'm not sure." She said with a confused expression on her face. "Only you smell like home and warm vanilla." She said as she took a drink.

I took a sip and watched her over my rim and then set the latte down as I started picking at my muffin. I was in heaven, well maybe not heaven but I would take what I could get. I was sitting here having breakfast with my mate and it felt so right. Now all I had to do was get her to talk to me.

"Ashley?" I said, but I didn't know what else to say. I mean how do you go about telling your mate, that doesn't remember you, that you are their mate and that you know everything about them. They'd put you in the loony bin, I mean I wouldn't believe that if someone came up to me and told me that. Would you?

"Ashley?" I started once again. "That's a lovely name. Were you named after someone?" I couldn't tell her. Maybe I should let nature take its course. I mean that was the deal wasn't it. It wasn't a fair deal I'll give you that, but it was a deal and who was I to break a deal? I mean if we're really mates, and I know that we are, then there's nothing that anyone can do if we get back together. Right? Right?

She has this funny look on her face like she can't believe I just asked her that. I know Christine didn't just randomly pick her name out of thin air. She said it came to her in a dream. It was a dream where Ashley was sitting on a throne surrounded by her loyal subjects and they were all shouting Ashley, Ashley, Ashley over and over. You know if you think about that it is kind of ironic seeing as I'm a princess and she's not. Her mother dreaming of her sitting on a throne I mean. She'll always be my Princess, just don't tell her that.

I looked up when I heard her rich gravelly voice across from me at the table telling me the story of her name, only she was looking at me like she had a question to ask, and sure enough when she was done she asked her question.

"I hope this isn't to forward, but now that I bought you breakfast can I ask your name?" she looked like she wasn't expecting me to answer.

"I'm sorry it's Spencer." I said as I looked at her.

"Spencer, what a strong name." she shook her head and continued. "It's like I've known you all my life." She said as she looked down at the table in confusion.

I took her hand in mine and waited until she looked up. "I know what you mean." I said as I looked her in the eyes and smiled.

I let my eyes wander over her well sculpted body as we made small talk across the table from each other. I couldn't help myself now that my hunger was sated my body wanted something else sated as well. With that last thought I felt my body softening and growing damp. 'Damn that thing just doesn't know when to stop.' I thought as I wiggled around in the booth trying to get comfortable.

I looked back up into Ashley's face only to see amusement in her eyes as she took a long slow sniff of the air. I stiffened in place and watched as she folded her arms across her chest with a smirk. "What?" I asked as I remained as still as possible.

"Nothing." She replied as she leaned forward on the table as one of her hands went to the upper button on her shirt and releasing it and exposing the tops of her breast.

My mouth went dry and I licked my lips, that was when I heard her giggle. I knew I turned bright red as I looked anywhere but at her.

"Don't you like what you see?"

'More then you will ever know.' I wanted to reply but instead I said "It looks okay, but I'm more interested in talking at the moment."

"Is that all you think about?" she asked before continuing with. "Talking, hell if you give me half a chance I can take your mind off of that nasty habit of talking." She finished with taking her finger and swiping it in her whip cream from her latte and taking a swipe with her tongue and then sticking it in her mouth and sucking appreciatively at it.

I thought my mouth was dry before but now it felt like the fucking Sahara. My body betrayed me once again when it let out a moan of appreciation for that finger and what it could do to my body and that was before it even remembered that she was using her tongue as well.

That did it, I am now sitting in a puddle of my desire and I can't even form any words as she waves her hand in front of my face.

"I think I might have broken you." She says with a smirk as she stands up and comes around the table to my side and helps me up and leads me out of the coffee shop.

#########################################

"I think I might have broken you." Ashley said as she helped her out of the booth and led her out of the coffee shop. Ashley thought this was the perfect time to take her back to her place. She thought to herself as she led her back to the beach. But before they get too far Spencer stops in place and doesn't budge.

"I don't want to go back yet." Spencer, all but pouts out at Ashley.

"Don't worry; I'm not taking you back to your place…" Then Ashley trailed off and thought to herself. 'Just yet anyways.' Spencer has been all but killing her this morning with her intoxicating arousal all morning. 'If she thinks I'm going to let her go now before I get a chance to taste her once again…'

'Where did that come from?' she asked herself as she shook her head to clear it. 'I've never tasted her.' Then she continued. 'Not that I don't want to.' She looked over to Spencer 'Boy do I want to.' She thought as she took a deep whiff in thru her nose.

############################################

She's so cute when she has her inner monologue. Spencer thought as she continued to watch Ashley as she was leading her back towards the beach.

"So where are we going?" I asked her, she shook her head and looked at me like she didn't notice that I was even here.

"Well, I figured you wanted to talk," she said as she shrugged her shoulders. "So I thought we could go to my place." She looked at me with a hint of hope in her eyes.

"I think that would be good." I replied, but she kept going towards the beach house that I was staying at and I started looking around to see if anyone was looking for me.

"Are you nervous about something?" Ashley asked. "Because if you are…" she seemed to let it trail off before continuing "…there's no need to be. I don't bite…..unless you ask nicely." She said with a smirk and a hiked eyebrow.

"No, I'm not nervous. Just worried about the sun is all." I said as I rubbed my arms.

"Yes you do have a lovely complexion and we wouldn't want you to blister." She said as she eyed me up and down. "We better get you inside as fast as possible." She said as she once again scooped me over her shoulder and took off at a run.

She came to the beach where I was staying but instead of turning left she turned right and went towards the other house on the beach. I don't even think she came to a complete stop as she went right into the house and thru another door and deposited me on a bed. It wasn't just any bed either it was her bed. I was surrounded by everything Ashley.

"What do you think your doing?" I asked as I scooted towards the other side of the bed intent on getting up and out of here, but before I could get there, there was a warm body on top of me which made getting up impossible.

I stared up at her with my mouth hanging open.

Ashley grinned down at me.

"You can't keep me here." I said

Ashley wiggled on top of me and pinned my hands above my head. "You were saying?"

"Okay, you obviously can keep me wherever you want me…but I'll let you know right now that it's wrong, and illegal, and, and…just wrong." If I could have I would have stomped my foot.

"You said that already." She smirked.

I just harrumphed at her and glared.

"What can I say I'm a wolf." She grinned yet again at me. "Haven't you heard we're all monsters?"

"No you're not, so if you're all done showing off can you get off me." I said as I tried pushing her off of me.

My knee came in contact with her center and she let out a low moan.

"As a matter of fact, I would." She said as she leaned down and kissed the side of my mouth, "I think I like it right where I'm at."

My body betrayed me yet again and it responded to her.

############################################

ch.7

Ashley leaned forward and followed my throat with her tongue, which caused me to swallow and caused Ashley to follow my throat yet again with her tongue. I figured I only had a few seconds before I became a quivering mass of goo, so I cleared my throat which caused Ashley's tongue to stutter to a stop at the hollow of my throat. I figured this was my last chance to put a stop to this.

I pushed against her shoulders trying to get her to get up off of me. "Um, we really need to stop." I said right before I let out a low moan. "Please." I begged as she continued to search my neck and collar bone.

"Please." I said again.

"No." she replied as she leaned back and looked at me as she wiggled her eyebrows and then went back to her spot at my throat.

It took some doing not to become enamored with her blatant sexuality, but I did and I pushed her yet again.

"What do you want?" she asked

"I want for you to let me up." I replied.

"Liar….." she smirked at me. "Why?"

"Why?" I asked back.

"Why do you want me to let you up?" Ashley asked.

I couldn't remember why I wanted her to let me up as she stared down at me with her eyes staring straight into me, all I could think about was the fantasies I had of her the last six months, and which she could fulfill for me in this instant, especially with her rubbing her thumb gently against my wrist that she held in her hand above my head.

"Why do you want me?" I decided to ask.

The smile that spread across Ashley's face was like sunshine and full of very wicked intentions.

"Silly question." Ashley rumbled out as she looked down at me and brushed my shirt aside.

I saw the appreciative glow in her eyes and is it so bad to say that I enjoyed her looking at me that way?

I tried to glare at her but it felt forced and I think Ashley saw that. I decided to try another route. "Silly answer…." I replied before continuing with "I don't think for one minute you couldn't get sex from any stranger at any time if you want it." I said as I bit my lip in anticipation of her answer.

Instead of answering Ashley leaned forward and took my nipple in her mouth making it stand at attention before blowing on it. "I don't want it from any one else but you." She said as she leaned down and took my other breast in her mouth.

It was all I could do to catch my breath. All I could seem to do was pant, and I wanted to be clear of head so that we could discuss our situation, but Ashley kept at what she was doing and I dare anyone to keep their concentration when Ashley is playing with their womanly parts. 'Scrap that, she better never play with another woman's womanly parts, but mine.' I thought, as a low growl left my throat.

Ashley sucked over where my mark should be and then raised her head up to survey her handy work. "In fact," she purred out, "I only want it from you, from now on." She then added, "Sex that is, from you, only you." She said as she then took my nipple in her mouth once again.

I moaned out, "But why?"

I wanted to cry out as Ashley released my nipple and licked the underside of my breast, and I nearly did when she pulled away, "Because you taste so good."

Then she leaned back down and ran her tongue from my throat to my naval, and my muscles tensed all the way from my stomach to my ankles and everywhere in between as well. She then lowered her face back to my stomach and looped my waist band with her finger and pulled it away from my skin then she looked up at me as she inhaled deeply. "And you smell even better."

I couldn't help it as my hips arched into her. She placed her hand on my hips and pushed me back down. "Are you in a hurry?" She asked with a purr.

I let out a breathless cry when she replaced her finger in my waste band with her tongue as she pulled them down. My hands intertwined into her hair pulling her into me. That was when she stopped and pulled back as she was looking at something on my leg. "I hurt you." It came out more as a statement rather then a question.

"Why didn't you tell me?" she asked.

"Tell you what?" I barely recognized my voice as breathless as it sounded. I tried to see what she was looking at when she poked my upper thigh with her finger, I flinched.

"I don't know, maybe the fact that I hurt you." She grumbled as she stood up by the side of the bed. "From now on I expect you to tell me." She said as she scooped me up in her arms as if I weighed nothing.

My brain hadn't caught up with what was happening, but let me tell you when it does I'm going to be mad. Snoopy over here is mad at me for something that she did. Logic, anyone? I don't think so.

"As I recall you weren't to keen on talking at the time." I said as soon as I caught my breath. "You didn't want to talk. If I remember, you said it was over rated." I said as I wrapped my arms around her neck.

"Next time be a little louder." She said as she sat me down on the side of a hot tub and flipped the switch on.

I crossed my arms over my chest. "So you think there will be a next time?" I asked as my heart fluttered in my chest.

"Damn straight and a second and third ectra ectra ectra for eternity." She said as she waved her hand and smirked at me.

"So I don't get a choice in this?"

"Nope, and it's just a matter of time before it happens, and let me tell you it will happen." She all but purred out in my ear, which sent a shiver down my spine and ended in my nether region.

It stung a little it was so hot, but I didn't mind seeing as Ashley was pulling off her clothes standing up behind me and then she scooped me up in her arms and lowered the both of us in the water.

The hot tub was huge but she seemed content to stretch both her legs out on either side of mine and then asked. "How does this feel?"

I looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

Her expression softened and then continued. "The water is it helping?"

I blushed and then sunk lower in the water until it covered the lower part of my chin and shook my head yes for her, but no it wasn't helping she was sitting right up against me naked, how was I suppose to survive this. I wanted her to say that this wouldn't be another fuck for her I wanted her to say we were going to be mates, but she seemed to gloss right over that at the moment as her hands came around my body and she started massaging my breast.

The hot water was relaxing me to the point that I didn't know reality from fantasy as I stifled a yawn. I didn't get much sleep this morning and was still worn out from last night activities with Ashley. I hadn't noticed when Ashley moved out from behind me and picked up my foot to massage it, but o how it felt like heaven.

"You can do that for eternity." I mumbled out just before I drifted into that state between wakefulness and sleep.

"I'd be more then happy to do it for the rest of our lives." Was whispered into my ear as I was lifted out of the water. I was loved again and it was the last thing I heard before sleep claimed me.

########################################

ch.8

"I'd be more then happy to do it for the rest of our lives." I said as I lifted Spencer out of the water and took her to the bed and dried her off as gently as I could.

I leaned forward and whispered in her ear "Why don't you make it easy on yourself and me and become my mate." I know she didn't hear me because she was breathing deeply, so I knew she was asleep.

I wanted her to hear me but would she except me as I am. Would she take me for me or would she reject me for the wolf.

I wanted her more then I ever wanted anyone in my life. When I'm around her it's like there's no one else and she fills all my senses with her and only her. Could I bring her into this…a human into the world of the Others. Will she freak or will she thrive. Is it even fair thinking these things about a human? Even a human that is destined to be my mate.

I shook my head and thought, 'What's wrong with me? I usually have a tight reign on my instincts.' I shook my head. 'Hell I should just hit her over the head and take her…No that wouldn't do any good. She wouldn't be able to understand the situation I'm in, and I wouldn't want to push it on her.'

I need to bring her in a little at a time. She needs time to get to know me and the world I live in. 'But Kyla said she didn't freak when Aiden and I transformed. As a matter of fact….' I rubbed my bottom. 'I have a reminder of that as well, after all it was me that fell on my ass.'

Yes, she's human, and humans like to take things slow, it could take weeks or years. Lupines don't work that way. Fate decides who our mates are, and Lupines learn at an early age to never fight fate to accept it. When you find your mate you don't waste time, but with a human, I feel that it might scare her off, and I don't want to do that. I need to start taking it slow. Or as slow as a horny Lupine who just found their mate can take it.

Spencer started to stir on the bed so I whispered in her ear that she was safe and she snuggled up into me. I wasn't ready for her to leave. The little time that we've been together wasn't nearly enough. I looked at her with almost recognition or flashback I'm not sure which. One minute we're in my bedroom the next we're at my apartment in Manhattan and Spencer's asleep on my couch only with dark hair. I shake my head to clear it and look down at Spencer and feel a need to protect her at all costs.

She belongs here with me, now I just have to make her aware of that fact.

"Mmm..mmm Ashley" Spencer mumbled from the bed.

It was all I could do not to jump her as she stretched and opened one eye to look at me.

#########################################

I licked my lips as I called out to Ashley who was on the other side of the bed watching me now as I felt it when she got out of the bed.

"I need to go." I said.

"You don't know what you would be missing." Ashley said as she looked at me. "I would be willing to give you foot rubs for the rest of our lives." Ashley said with a smirk.

"Very funny." I said with an arch of my eyebrows and I got up and looked around for my clothes.

"You don't know what you'll be missing." Ashley said in a teasing tone. "I pick up my clothes…..and I'm very good in bed, and I can even throw a meal together." She finished with a smirk but her eyes held a little bit of hurt in them.

I wanted to take that hurt out of them, if she would be serious. "Please be serious." I said. "It's not nice to tease a woman that really likes her feet rubbed. So please whatever you do be serious…..please."

"Didn't I sound serious?" she asked.

"Yes and that's what scares me." I said as I continued to look at her. "Nobody gets that serious that fast if it's to last." I said. 'And I want this to last, I want it all.' I said under my breath.

"So you want to date?" Ashley asked.

"Maybe." I said coyly "Can I have my clothes now?" I asked as I continued looking around for them.

"No." she said

My eyes widened in surprise. "Why not?"

"Because you'll leave and I'm not ready for you to leave."

"Haven't we been thru this already, you can't keep me here." I said as I crossed my arms over my chest. "You can't." I pouted.

##############################################

My instincts told me to take her and take her now, but I beat that into submission. If I wanted Spencer I would have to show her. I knew I could spook her and that would be the end of that.

Damn it maybe I should have dated someone in the last few months maybe then my body wouldn't be so out of control. I wiped my face with my hand and looked up to Spencer. Maybe I should just tell her that she's mine and make her move in with me and be my mate. Then we can start on our pups like I want to.

But this situation calls for a little restraint on my part. If she were Lupine we wouldn't be going through this song and dance.

I struggled to bring my Lupine speed down to sub speed and then looked at her again standing in the middle of my bedroom with just a sheet covering her. This was going to be one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I took a deep breath and then said. "I have no intention of making you stay here." I said. "But let's be logical here. What do you plan on doing when you leave here?" I asked

"I plan on going home." She replied.

"To that man…at your house?" I growled out hoping that one of those guys in her house wasn't her boyfriend, and I remembered the conversation between the two women on the beach. Spencer was supposed to settle down with one of them, and if I had anything to say about it they won't be in the picture at all. I had to clench my jaw shut to keep from saying anything else, because if anyone one was going to be with her it sure as hell wasn't going to be one of them. It was going to be me.

##############################################

"No" I said as my shoulders hunched in almost defeat, I really didn't want to come face to face with Mary. I looked towards Ashley and she had hope in her eyes.

"Look, you've been asleep for awhile maybe you'd like to watch T.V., have a little dinner or something?" she asked with a tilt of her head. "And if worse comes to worse you can stay the night."

I looked at her like she just lost her mind.

She put her hands up palms out towards me. "Wait, calm down. I'm not trying to kidnap you or anything; I'm just offering you a place to stay."

################################################

I had offered her a place to stay; hopefully she didn't think I had ulterior motives, which I do. She needs to see me in a different light. She needs to know that I can be normal. "Look, just stay the night, let's see how it goes." I watched her and waited for her response, I didn't know which way this would go. "We could talk." Humans really needed a tail and bigger ears. Wolf's ears made it so much easier to read one's emotions. I was brought out of my musings with a clearing of a throat.

She looked at me like I had lost my mind. "Where would I sleep?" she asked

"You can take the bed, and I'll take the couch." I said as I noticed Spencer start to waiver.

"It's only for the night, I won't jump you in your sleep, and besides you can lock the door." I said with a slight head tilt. "Just until whoever is at your house leaves, then you can go back all safe and sound." Then I added a pout for good measure, that would work on her I just knew it, and sure enough she crumbled.

"Fine." She said as she straightened the sheet out. "Just for the night. Now can I have my clothes back?"

As soon as I heard fine I did a little shuffle and went to my dresser and started rummaging around in the top one. When I turned back around Spencer had a hand on her cocked hip and was looking at me sideways. I walked up to her and handed her the clothes, she looked at me confusedly before she asked. "What? You think because your being all charming my legs will open up for you?"

"My…my…my…that was savvy of you." I smirked after all I liked my women with a little spice. "I didn't think you had it in you, and for your information those are for you to get comfortable."

She looked at me like she didn't understand me. "The clothes, it's shorts and a shirt, you sleep in them." I said slowly.

##########################################

"Since when do you sleep in shor….." Damn it I forgot, she doesn't know that I know. "I mean these will definitely be comfortable." 'I hope she didn't catch that.'

Ashley's looking all confusedly right now, I just want to go up to her and kiss that crinkle right off her brow.

She's being all sweet and sensitive, just like my Ashley. Why am I fighting this attraction so hard between us, when in the beginning it was her fighting her attraction to me and me chasing her? Now it's the other way around maybe I should stop running and let her catch me. "Excuse me." I said as I waved my hand in front of Ashley's face.

"Yes?" she asked.

"Do you mind?" I asked as I waved my hand at her door.

"As a matter of fact I do mind." She said then continued. "But I'll leave and order us something to eat. Do you have anything in mind you would like?" she asked as she made her way to the door.

"Anything would be fine." I replied.

She turned and smiled at me from the doorway then shut the door.

###########################################

I rushed out of the room to the phone and made the call to a seaside restaurant to see if they would deliver.

Thirty minutes later I had a nice meal laid out on a blanket in front of the fire as Spencer came out of the bedroom dressed in those short shorts I gave her to wear. Which in after thought might have been a mistake seeing I mean to take this slowly. I dragged my eyes up from her legs up to her face which had a smirk on it.

I cleared my throat and then motioned her over to the fire place and helped her to sit down.

"Now it's time to get to know each other." I said as I sat down on the pillow opposite Spencer.

"I think talking would be a good way to do that." She said as she took a bite of her meal.

"Yes I agree but I always felt that pillow talk was the best way to accomplish that." I said as I watched for her reaction, and she didn't disappoint as she blushed, which I found to be adorable. I wiped the corner of my mouth with a napkin as it seemed I had been drooling over her.

"Why do you keep doing that?" she asked.

"What are you referring to?" I asked.

"Make sexual innuendo's." she replied

"I like your reaction." I said "It's so honest, and I appreciate that." I said "I don't get that often with the people I meet, so it's refreshing."

"But why do you want me? You can have any one you want. Why me?" she asked with interest. "You had all those other women all over you in the bar, I'm surprised you even noticed me." She said with a pout in her voice.

It took all I had to control the smile that was trying to burst out as I replied, "You're jealous."

"No." Spencer laughed shaking her head no. "Just curious."

"You don't have to worry. I'm not interested in any other women." I said as I reached forward with the napkin and wiped her chin off. 'Maybe I should just tell her why I'm not interested in any other women.' But then I reminded myself she was only human and that my chances of keeping her here in my house would go drastically low if I told her about the mate bond. She would need a little while to get use to the rest of our lives together as well. I don't want to rush her into it. I want her to come willingly.

"I was just wondering…" Spencer started.

"Wondering what?" I asked

"How you could be so interested in me, a stranger." She said.

"Um, because I am." Was she blind or something could she not see what she was doing to me only sitting across from me. Should I grab her hand and let her feel my intimate parts to see that they are drenched with my need for her. "And you are gorgeous."

"Right." She replied with disbelief and her indignation turned her scent more spicier and sharper it was all I could do to follow the conversation.

"Are you calling me a liar, because that is one thing I am not." I wanted to take her right here and now my body was strung as tight as a bow. "Didn't you notice how you turned me into a single syllable speaking moron last night?" I waited until she looked at me. "That's not a kind of thing I can fake. This is it for me. I want you. I don't think I can make it any clearer." I said as I looked down at the food. "If you need to take it slower then I'm willing to try, but I'll only say this once, I want you Spencer for the rest of our lives." I finished as I looked back up I reached a hand out and stroked the side of her face. "I love you. Like really head over heels in love with you. Now stop thinking about it and give us a chance."

"Alright." Spencer said, that was all I needed to hear as I jumped up and pulled her up with me and kissed her like my life depended on it. She pulled away, "That doesn't give you the right to maul me the first chance you get, and you still owe me a date." She said as she pulled out of my arms.

"Date?"

"Yes, you know you pick someone up at their door, give them flowers, take them out to eat and maybe catch a movie."

"Yes date, I can do that." I said as I stepped back and watched her leave the living room going to the bedroom.

"Night, Fido." She said as she waved her fingers at me and disappeared into the bedroom closing the door behind her.

Fido that sounded so familiar, but I forgot about it as I remembered that she agreed to give us a chance. Now if my libido doesn't blow it I think I can make this work.

Keep your fingers crossed.

ch.9

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, Ashley is in the other room.

What am I doing? What will Mary say? I've been calling her Mary a lot lately, because she's shown such animosity towards Ashley that if she doesn't support us then I'm just protecting myself from hurt and disappointment.

Last night Ashley mentioned something about going out for breakfast, and if I know Ashley at all then she'll be up early ready to go eat. If she's not then I'll be a monkey's uncle or aunt as the case may be. As soon as I finish that thought I get up and start getting dressed. I'm looking around for my shoes but I can't seem to find them, I could have sworn they were right here with my clothes.

About that time Ashley sticks her head in the door. "Are you ready?" she asks.

"I think I fall in the no shoes no service category." I said with a smile.

She pushed the door open the rest of the way then comes in. She looks at me sheepishly when she brings her hands in front of her and my shoes are in them. "I figured you might need these." Then she continues, "I didn't want you running away." She finished with a smirk.

I just stopped and looked at her.

"I think the word you're looking for is 'Thank you.' She said with a head tilt.

I took my shoes from her and sat on the bed to put them on. I mean what could I say, given half a chance I probably would have ran away if I wasn't so tired last night. I ignored the 'Thank you' comment instead I stood up and said "Okay, I'm ready."

Ashley grinned and rubbed her hands together. "Good, I'm starving." She said.

She took my hand and tugged me towards the beach exit of the house. We stopped before we got to the sliding glass door and she just stared at me "Beautiful" she breathed out.

"What?" I asked as if I didn't hear her.

"Nothing, I just wanted you to know that your beautiful." She said as she leaned forward and kissed me on the cheek.

Of course I blushed and I became tongue tied and couldn't say anything. She just took my hand and led me out of the house.

#################################################

I couldn't help myself; I just had this urge to kiss her. Only at the last second I kissed her cheek instead of her lips and then I reached down and grabbed her hand and led her out of the beach house.

We swung our hands as we walked along the beach. It was pretty early but just the same I took us the opposite direction of her house, I didn't want to bump into any one that might cut our time together short, and she didn't complain.

We were quite; there was no need for talking. We enjoyed our time together.

When her stomach growled this time I suggested that we needed to go and get something to eat and she agreed. We went to the same diner that I took her to yesterday and we got to talking about our selves and what we wanted out of life. It was so perfect. I could listen to her for the rest of my life and never get tired of her talking, she felt like my other half, and I craved to be around her and only her. A few times I caught myself staring at her. I don't mean just staring at her I mean it's like I know exactly what she's going to do, it's like I've known her my whole life and I don't mean that in a bad way.

I just know the way she likes her coffee, what she likes to eat, what her favorite movie is. I even know that she doesn't like to talk about her family. The longer I sit here and stare at her the stronger my feelings grow of knowing her. It's weird, like recognition or something, but I get this feeling that she's hiding something from me; I just can't put my finger on it.

Her breath increased when she became aware of my staring. She turned her head in my direction and looked me in the eyes. She gave me a nose crinkling smile, "Can I help you with something?" She asked with a sweet undertone.

I couldn't help myself when I said. "You could help me with an itch I got." I palmed my face and mumbled, "I didn't mean for that to come out the way it did." I looked up and she smirked at me.

"It's okay." She said. "I like that you speak before you think."

"Uhh…" I didn't have any words for that.

"I seem to do that a lot around you." I said as I looked down at my hands and started to play with them, she brought her hand forward and stopped me when she placed her hand on top of mine.

"No, really it's fine." She said. "Like I said, I like it."

I smiled at her and then pulled my hand away from hers. "Well I wanted to ask you if you'd like to go to a club tonight?" I asked without much hope seeing as she spent the night at my house and every thing. I figured she was tired of me.

"Like a date?" She asked as she leaned her head to the side and smiled shyly at me.

That kind of bolstered my nerves and I smiled as I said, "Yes, like a date."

Her smile blossomed on her face as she said "Yes."

I all but hit myself as I started to do a little jig in place I looked at Spencer and she had a smirk on her face. "Well…." I started "I can get you something to wear if you like."

"What, don't you think what I have on will do?" she asked

"It was lovely for yesterday but we're going to a club here in town. As a matter of fact it's where I picked you up the other night….A…ah...friend of my sister owns it." I said as I couldn't yet call Jesse a friend of mine.

"You mean Jesse?" she asked.

#############################################

"Yes….." she kind of left it hanging there, I forgot that I'm not suppose to know the same people that she knew.

"I mean everyone around here knows Jesse and his club." There I think I might have saved myself some questions.

Ashley is still looking at me strangely.

Or maybe not. "I mean it is the most happening club around…..at least that's what I was told the other night." I looked around trying to avoid Ashley's eyes. She could always tell if I was lying to her. Thankfully I think she was going to let it go, so I think I'll change the subject. "What can you get me to wear because if I go home now I know I won't be leaving any time soon?"

She smirked at me. "I've got that covered." She said as she walked away from me while dialing her phone. She talked low on the phone so I couldn't really hear her, she turned back around and shut her phone. "All taken care of." She said as she smiled at me.

"What do you mean all taken care of?" I asked.

She held her hands open and said "Just what it sounded like." She paused and then continued, "I have a friend and she said she had some clothes that would fit you….." she said then she continued as she herded me into the bathroom. "….why don't you take a hot bath and use some of the oils in there and soak, by the time your done the clothes will be here." Then she closed the door and left me in the bathroom.

I don't know what I was thinking. Mary is going to kill me, but I think Paula will take care of her. I hope Paula will take care of her.

I had just gotten in the tub full of bubbles when there was a knock at the door. "Yes?" I asked.

"Are you descent?" Ashley asked

I looked down at the bubbles and scooted down until I was covered up to my neck. "Yes."

She pushed the door open and walked in with a flute of wine. "I thought you might like something to drink while we wait for your clothes to arrive."

I had almost forgotten how sweet she could be. "Yes….thank you." I said as I reached out and took the flute. I took a sip and I moaned it was almost as good as faerie wine.

When I looked back up Ashley was headed out the door but she stopped and turned around she looked at me with lust and cleared her throat. "I…um should wait out in the living room so that I can hear the door." Then she rushed out of the bathroom. I'm glad she left, if she kept looking at me that way I don't think we would make it out of her house.

###########################################

I had to get out of there when she moaned it was all I could do not to strip and join her. I don't think that would have been a good start to our date, I think it would have ended before it started.

My wolf wanted her I wanted her and I will have her, it's only a matter of time.

I know I decided to take it slow but I don't know if I can do this. I'm not use to taking it slow. I always go after what I want and I want Spencer.

I was lost in thought when Kyla opened the back door and came in with an outfit for Spencer to wear.

"Madison said to tell you that you have to have a drink with us at the club so that we can meet your lady friend." She said.

"In Madison speak that means she wants to grill her." I said

She smiled "Probably, but she said she met her the other night at the club, and she just wants to make sure that she's into you as much as you seem into her." She looked at me and then continued. "And with that smile on your face I can see that it doesn't matter what she or we think."

"I didn't say that." I walked up to her. "I'll always want to hear what you think, but I have to live my life for me."

"Even at the risk of the pack?" she asked

"Even at the risk of the pack….." I said as I made her look at me. "…the pack doesn't chose who your mate is, fate does, and fate is a fickle mistress." I hugged her. "I love you and I'll always be here for you, so please be here for me now?" I needed her in my corner, especially with the problem with Jacob hanging over my head, not to mention my duties with the pack.

"You know I'll always be here for you…..I just want you to think before you jump into anything with this human."

"Always looking out for me." I stated as I stepped back and chucked her under the chin.

"Always." She said as she turned and left.

I went back into the bedroom with the clothes, and laid them out on the bed, as I was leaving Spencer came out of the bathroom in a towel. I cleared my throat and told her I was going to the guest bedroom to get ready for our date.

So here we are at the club its noisy and packed and I'm looking in the back for Kyla and the others when I see Aiden across the club in a roped off section. I reach back and grabbed Spencer's hand and lead her over to the roped off section. "I need to speak to a few friends first." I said. "Plus, she made me introducing you a condition of lending you her clothes."

Spencer raised her eyebrows but allowed me to guide her across the room. We stepped over the rope into the back room and over to a door that Aiden had stepped through. We went through into a spacious office with a two way mirror facing the dance floor.

Madison smiled and waved us over to a coach across form her and Kyla. Jesse was nowhere to be seen but I assumed he let us in here so that we could talk.

################################################

I didn't think I would be so nervous but when Madison turned her big brown eyes towards me I wasn't so sure anymore. I mean she wasn't glaring or anything but it was almost predatory and not in a friendly manner either. Kyla elbowed her and then she smiled. "Hello." She said. "I'm so happy the clothes fit."

I offered her a friendly smile "Thank you."

Ashley stepped forward "Spencer this is my dearest friend and sister-in-law Madison."

I smiled as I extended my hand out towards her but instead of taking my hand she leaned forward and kissed me on the mouth, and it wasn't in a just friendly way and it took me by surprise so I pushed her and took a step back and blushed. I looked towards Ashley who had a smirk on her face.

"What?" Madison said as she crossed her arms.

"I know what you're doing." Ashley said

"So, what am I doing?" Madison asked.

At this point I was just staring at the both of them like they had lost their minds. I mean I know Madison doesn't sway our way so to speak but I don't know what that was. So here I was watching the banter back and fourth between the two until I felt Kyla walk up behind me.

"Hi," she said as she extended her hand forward, "I'm Kyla, Ashley's sister."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Spencer." I said

"Don't worry about those two." She said. "Madison was trying to make a point, only I think it might have back fired on her." About that time we heard.

"Look at me, who wouldn't go for me." Madison said as she waved her hand down her body.

"Well if I knew you were interested in girls I would have introduced you to a little girl on girl action." Ashley smirked.

"Hell Yea!" Aiden said as he walked into the office. "Can I get in on the loving?" he asked.

"NO!" both girls yelled as they turned towards him.

"They're all really close." Kyla said as she leaned towards me. About that time Madison and Ashley collapsed into each others arms laughing. I think they lost it.

"You know I love you chica, but I don't hang that way." Madison laughed out.

"I can vouch for that." Aiden said as he wrapped his arms around them and squeezed them to him.

Then he carried them both over to us and managed to hug Kyla and myself as well.

"Okay that's enough." Ashley said as she made Aiden release us.

"Spencer, it's good to see you again." Aiden said as he smiled at me.

"Hi, Aiden." I said as Ashley stepped behind me.

"Don't go trying to give those drunk guys any problems." He said as he dragged Madison out of the office.

"What did he mean by that?" Ashley asked.

"He kind of helped me out of a bind the other night." I said

"What kind of bind?" she asked.

"Well there was a guy here at the club and he had a little too much to drink." I said.

"Okay." She said as Jesse walked into the office and he walked over to Kyla and leaned down and kissed her on the cheek.

"We need to talk Ashley." Jesse said as he turned towards us.

"Sure." She said as she turned towards me with an apology on her lips.

"Don't apologize, I understand." I said

"You can wait in the outer office with Kyla if you want." He said.

"Yes…" Kyla said as she grabbed my hand. "I can get to know you a little bit before my sister runs off with you." She finished as she led me threw the door.

"Be nice." I heard from Ashley as Kyla closed the door.

We talked for a little while and it was as easy as it ever was to talk to her. She was a good friend and sister, and even though she didn't know me she treated me as if we had been friends for life.

###########################################

Ashley came out of the office about 10 minutes later and asked if Kyla would like to grab a drink with us at the bar, she agreed and walked with us towards the bar. Spencer couldn't help noticing all the appreciative glances sent Ashley's way as she walked ahead of them to the bar.

##########################################

I knew I was working it hard, but I wanted Spencer to see what she was missing. If I could get her to want me as much as I wanted her maybe I wouldn't have to take it so slow. I glanced over my shoulder and noticed that she glared at a couple of people until they looked away. It brought a smile to my face.

About that time she looked at me and I smirked, she looked away quickly but I saw the want in her eyes. I smirked all the more harder but then I saw Kyla glare at me. Maybe I shouldn't have smirked at her but I couldn't help it.

##########################################

That smirk on Ashley's face isn't helping matters any and she knows it. I don't think I could take it if someone hit on her in front of me, because of the way she's acting.

We make it to the bar and of course the first thing that happens is she orders all of our drinks and before she could turn back around the bartender grabs her hand and pulls her across the bar then leans over the bar to whisper something in her ear. She stands back up and then winks at Ashley.

Thank god for Kyla she grabbed Ashley by the elbow and pulls her towards a back booth in the club. I follow along with our drinks but not before I practically growl at the bartender. She steps back and raises her hands in surrender with a smirk on her face.

I reach the table and the heated words between Ashley and Kyla stop.

I couldn't help as I asked Ashley, "Do you and the bartender have something going on?"

Kyla harrumphs and crosses her arms.

Ashley pauses with her hand outstretched to receive her drink. "What? Of course not."

"Not that, that skank hasn't tried." Kyla says under breath, but I heard it anyways.

Ashley grabbed the drink and downed it in one go. "I need another drink." She said as she started to get up.

"No, let me." Kyla said as she got up and made her way to the bar.

I turned to Ashley. "I'm not totally clueless you know."

"I never said you were." Ashley said a little defensively.

"You didn't have to." I answered back.

She looked over towards the bar and it looked like Kyla was about to crawl over it and smack the bartender.

"I need to stop that." Ashley said as she stood up.

I followed over to the bar as Ashley grabbed Kyla by the shoulder and turned her around. She whispered something in her ear and Kyla nodded her head yes and wondered off back towards the back of the club.

She turned towards me and said. "Let's get out of here." She said as she went to the coat closet and grabbed a couple of coats out of there and helped me into one. "It can get a little cold along the beach." She said as an explanation.

"Won't someone mind that I'm taking their coat?" I asked.

She shrugged "No, they belong to Kyla and Madison. That's where Kyla went to let Madison know that we were leaving."

"Where are we going?" I asked

"There's an all night diner a couple of blocks up the beach, and then I can try to explain to you what happened at the bar." She explained.

I nodded reluctantly "I suppose that would be a good idea."

"I'll make the pot even sweeter, I promise to answer all your questions as well."

"All of them."

"Well all that I can." She said. "For now let's just enjoy the fresh air." She finished as she took my hand in hers and led us to the beach.

I found myself smiling. "Is that your polite way of telling me to be quite?"

She nodded smiling "At least until we get a cup of coffee. Is it working?"

I just shrugged my shoulders and let her lead the way. The cold made my cheeks and nose tingle. I put my right hand in the pocket of the jacket but the left one stayed toasty in Ashley's grip.

I kept my questions to myself at least until we were seated in a booth at the diner. "Okay, what's up with the bartender?"

Ashley gulped half her coffee down before answering. "I told you there's nothing going on with the bartender." She looked at me, "She's just a member of my pack that was transferred here to keep an eye on things at the club."

"She's a werewolf too?" Ashley shook her head yes. "Then why did she try to jump you at the bar?"

Ashley got a reprieve from answering when our waitress showed up to take their orders. I could see her thinking and then she sighed. "She wanted to be my mate and she thought now that I was here that maybe I had followed her." She shook her head. "She doesn't take no very well."

"Well I suggest you put the mortal fear of god into her and tell her if she values her life she won't do that anymore." I sat back and glared at the waitress as she started to bring our food back.

Ashley let out a loud guffaw which just made me glare at her instead. "What?" I asked.

"Your jealous." She said

"Am not."

"Yes you are."

"I said I wasn't jealous." But I wasn't fooling anyone.

I tried glaring at her once again but I just started laughing instead and Ashley joined in.

"Don't worry about her Kyla was just letting her know that you were her new Omega and that she better treat you with the respect you deserve."

"Wait, what I'm not even a wolf." I knew I was the Omega already I just didn't want Ashley to know that I knew. After all I was playing the part of a human.

"The correct word is Lupine," She said "And it doesn't matter, I claimed you so that's that." She finished as she took a forkful of her eggs and brought it to her mouth. I started to protest but it was stopped when she slid the forkful of eggs into my open mouth instead of hers. I glared playfully at her.

"Can we not talk about this now, please?" she looked a little impatient, but at least she tried to be polite. "You're not giving me much time to win you over without every one else interrupting our date, and if you remember correctly this is a date."

I just nodded my head since I really couldn't do much else with my mouth full with her fork still in place.

"Good." She said as she withdrew her fork. "Now finish your food, we're going to have a busy night and I wouldn't want you to be hungry." She said in her husky voice with a sexy smile.

I had to cross my legs and press my knees together from the tingles I got off that comment. I knew she didn't mean it in a sexual way, she just oozes sexuality, but my body sure took it that way.

I looked down at my food and began spreading it around, more to keep my hands busy then anything else. I tried to keep my brain busy as well by focusing on my food; I didn't want to think about the idea of keeping busy in her bedroom all night. 'Damn it.' I did it again I pressed my knees tighter together.

"So what do you have planned?" I managed to croak out as I met her eyes with the most casual expression I could muster.

"Well…you said we needed to get to know one another better," she said as she took a bite. "So tonight, I figured you tell me about yourself and then in the morning I'll tell you about myself." She smiled at me before continuing "Then we can go back to your place and I'll help you pack your bags."

I smiled I could just picture her doing that. "Don't you think your moving a little fast?"

"No."

###########################################

"What more could this girl want, I mean I'm courting her and everything and she says I'm taking it to fast. I mean really, normally I just take what I want, and I want her.

"Letting you know everything about me, isn't going to take all night." Spencer said as she continued playing with her food. "In fact I can tell you all about me in a few short sentences."

Spencer stretched her legs out and wrapped her ankle around my calf and pulled me closer and smiled at me seductively and then she lowered her hands that were shaking by the way to her borrowed top and unbuttoned the top buttons on her shirt slow and seductively.

I went still and dropped my eyes to the creamy flesh newly bared to me as Spencer trailed her fingers along her throat to her cleavage. "I'm an only child. Born in a different time….zone, home schooled, never broke any bones, but I did sprain my ankle once and a tall a dark stranger helped me out. Fell in love once, lost said love." She punctuated this by opening another button.

By this time my jaw was clenched so tightly I could here my teeth grinding, she continued unbuttoning her shirt until there was just one button keeping it together and she circled her belly button with a finger.

##############################################

'I hope she's not looking at me like I'm crazy, but I'm done beating around the bush. I want her just as much as I think she wants me so I'm just going to go for it.'

But I had no need to worry as I looked up and saw the look in her eyes. Lust, want, and need, and not least of all love. Then her eyes snapped back to the last button on my shirt that I was playing with, it was the only thing standing between me and my very first arrest for indecent exposure.

I licked my lips slowly as I rubbed my foot along Ashley's leg under the table slowly while my fingers undid the last button on my borrowed blouse.

"I like long walks along the beach, breakfast in bed on Sunday mornings, and watching old movies on the TV. Biggest turn-ons are confident women that know what they want, have a sense of humor, and turn furry once a month." I shifted slightly in the booth baring a bit more skin.

###############################################

A low growl vibrated in my chest and I had a death grip on the tabletop. She didn't know what she was doing to me. Then she pushed her shirt aside a little so that I could see the curves of her breast, or maybe she did. Then she ran her hands between them and down to the fastening of her slacks I snapped the edge of the table off in my hands.

"Think you know enough about me yet?" she asked innocently. Then she purred "Or do you need to know something else?" she flexed her fingers and the top button on her slacks opened.

My arm shot in the air. "Check, please!" I husked.

#################################################

ch.10

They made it back to the beach house in less them five minutes and that was only because Ashley seemed to be having a problem calculating the total of the bill and she had to wait for the waitress, finally she just pulled out a wad of money and threw it on the table as she dragged me out the door. Although she did refrain from throwing me over her shoulder this time…..but just barely.

She had my hand and she wasn't actually dragging me but she didn't seem to be in such a hurry, which I felt she should be in.

I was beginning to think I hadn't really bothered her seeing as she wouldn't even look at me. It was like she didn't really know what to do.

I needed not worry as soon as the door was open she was on me like a dog to a bone. I landed on the carpet by the door with a thump and it managed to knock the wind out of me. Whatever breath I had left was stolen from me as Ashley attacked my mouth and forced her tongue in, it was so sensual, hot, and wet.

Speaking of wet….

#############################################

I tried to refrain myself but when the door closed all bets were off. I jumped right to it as my mouth descended on hers with a need I couldn't control. I could taste her recent coffee as well as her wild earthy flavor it was all I could do not to devour her right here on the floor. My wolf growled in anticipation of what we were about to do.

I wanted our first time to be on the bed not the floor, but my hands seemed to have other ideas as they ripped her shirt apart and she and all her glory came in sight.

'Well maybe I could taste her here and see if she taste's as good as I think.' I thought as my mouth wrapped around her nipple while my other hand strayed to the other one, cupping and massaging it with my palm.

'MMM' naked taste test.'

A growl left my chest as I reached down and unzipped her slacks, but somehow the fabric just fell apart in my hands, I hadn't meant to be that rough, but apparently my wolf didn't care about my intentions as it just rumbled in anticipation.

Spencer didn't seem to mind as her hands went from my hair to my shoulders and then rubbing down my back and cupping my butt and pressing me into her as her breathing increased. She grabbed handfuls of my clothes and then proceeded to rip my shirt off over my head.

I leaned back down and swiped my tongue over her nipple once again which elicited a moan from her that just about made me melt on the spot. Her smell got richer, deeper, and earthier as I took her nipple in my mouth once again and nipped and pulled it with my teeth.

My beast howled within me in protest as I pulled back not wanting to hurt her or risk making her rush out of here in terror. I inhaled deeply unable to restrain my need to drink her fragrance in, I was at my breaking point and I knew if I didn't pull away now, and get as far away from her scent as possible that I would claim her on the spot and once I did that it would go from theoretical to irrevocable. Then it wouldn't matter what Spencer wanted, because then I would never be able to let her go.

#############################################

'Who's whimpering?' I thought 'It's me' I couldn't help it as my furry friend decided to pull away just as I needed her to finish what she started. I tried to protest but it still came out as a whimper and I didn't seem able to form words.

Instead I grabbed her by her waist band and tried to pull them off her but they held fast so I attacked her button and as I was doing this I raised my upper body upwards and swiped my tongue over one of her nipples and then I latched on for life as my hand slipped into the front of her pants.

###############################################

When her mouth attached itself to me I let out a fierce snarl and reared back onto my knees, just long enough to get rid of the rest of my clothes. I tossed them haphazardly around not caring where they landed. My fingers had sharpened into claws as I looked down upon Spencer whimpering in need, eyes glassy, and lips parted and panting.

"Ashley. I want you," she breathed out, as she reached up and encircled my neck with her hand and tried to pull me down towards her lips.

She pouted and said "Now," a little firmer then before. "That wasn't a request but an invitation. So get moving Furry."

My beast lept forward, clearly intent on loving her senseless, and then howling in triumph to the waning moon. Unfortunately for the wolf I wrestled her into submission albeit temporarily. I didn't want to frighten Spencer, I risked a lifetime of misery because if I mated now she might be unhappy and an unhappy mate did not bode well for our future and our pups future.

Yes I said pups, for that is what I want with her, a life for the rest of our lives.

And then she did the unthinkable, she growled "Do I have to make that an order?" she finished as her hand trailed down my body leaving goose bumps in it's wake.

I nearly howled at that as her fingers continued in a southerly direction until it reached its destination. I desperately fought for control as I clenched my teeth so tightly that I thought they might snap. My wolf clawed, wailed, and struggled for freedom, as I pinned it all on the inside. I couldn't let it out, as my mate was human and her fragile body couldn't handle the wolf side of me. I figured I could pick a much better time then now to change in front of her in the heat of the moment, then with her laid before me with her sweat glistening body in front of me. Her hand swirled around grazing my most sensitive spot and I jerked my hips forward.

This definitely wasn't the right time to transform. I was using up what little strength I had to keep the wolf in check but my strength was waning.

When her other hand started twisting and tugging at my breast my wolf made another lunge for freedom. I had to resort to a full body tackle and few compromises to keep it in check. If I would take Spencer now as my mate then my wolf would relent and be content with that and agree to settle down. It was a truce and one that I so wanted to do.

But before I could reach out for Spencer her patience ran out. She dropped her hands and pushed up from the floor, and glared at me standing with her hands on her hips she said, "Did you break the speed record to get us here so you could admire me, or could we get on with the more interesting stuff?"

My wolf growled in agreement, and I gave her a feral smile as my tongue darted out of my mouth to lick my lips and I felt my fangs which only caused me to smile wider.

"Interesting," I growled out and then I lunged forward.

#############################################

Ashley dove at me like a wolf diving for its prey. My instincts had me side step and turn out of the way but I tripped on the carpet and looked over my shoulder towards Ashley. She had a gleam in her eyes as she feigned to the right as I came up on my knees and eyed her warily.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"What does it look like?" she purred. "You said you like my furry side, so I'm letting you see it first hand."

I didn't think I could get any wetter then I already was, but o was I wrong and when I looked towards Ashley my eyes widened as she sniffed the air and then licked her lips and began to prowl slowly towards me.

She kept her eyes glued to mine, I tried to get up but she gently tackled me wrapping her arms around me and hugging me to her body as she twisted in mid air and landed beneath me absorbing the impact on her shoulders and back. She had me back on the floor and beneath her on my stomach before I knew what was happening. She pulled my legs apart and wedged her knees between my thighs.

"What are you doing?" I warily asked.

Her feral grin was all the answer I needed as her hands gripped my hips and jerked them up off the floor until I was on all fours in front of her. Then she leaned forward and nipped gently at the back of my neck as she leaned her body onto mine, and I could feel her taunt nipples scraping across my back.

I shivered with anticipation of what was to come.

#############################################

Spencer shivered beneath me as I licked from her neck to her jaw line and then kissed her cheek.

"You said that you liked me when I was furry," I said as I placed my hands on top of hers on the floor to keep her in place. "You still want me, or did you change your mind?"

I finished by biting gently around the nape of her neck and held on when I felt another shiver race down her body. I let my tongue come out once again to taste the warm skin, and my senses filled with her smell. It told me how much she wanted me, but more then that it identified her as my mate, because no other individual had affected me like this. Not a Lupine, and certainly not a human.

I shook with need and then my wolf came forward and presented me with a visual of her ripe with a pup inside her womb, and the idea of that almost brought me to tears as I knew that she wouldn't be barren long if I had my way. I would keep her bare foot and pregnant yet lavished with all the love I could offer her.

I ground my hips against her as I asked "Did you change your mind?" then I scraped my teeth along her neck and down her spine. Her head fell forward in a submissive gesture that made the wolf inside me howl in pleasure and triumph. I had to fight not to bite deeper and sink my teeth in her. My wolf wanted to mark her as ours, and my head was so clouded that I could barely remember why that was such a bad idea.

"No," she whimpered, "I want you, Please." She begged.

I couldn't help it as I snarled in satisfaction as my hand circled her waist and rubbed circles around in her juices to get them wet. "Then take me," I growled as I thrusted my fingers deeply inside her. I barely heard her scream, but I didn't stop as her slick heat closed tightly around my fingers as I brought them back out only to thrust back in. Her body jerked against me as she started a rhythm of grinding backwards into me.

I leaned forward, and closed my teeth over her shoulder, pinning her in place the way a wild beast would, barely refraining from marking her. I ground my hips hard against her backside, pushing into her as I was thrusting with my hand with each glide of my fingers deeply into her.

Her screams had died, fading into murmurs and gasps of breath. My beast may have agreed to stay on the inside, but it hadn't agreed not to control my actions.

Growling low in my chest, I closed my teeth harder against her skin, warning her, no commanding her to stay still for my pleasure. She smirked at me and simply locked her elbows and used what leverage she had to slam back against me.

My hand between her legs came out and slid up to squeeze her breasts and to tease them. Spencer moaned beneath me as her arms collapsed and she landed on her elbows with a gasp. I grabbed her hips as they were slanted at a new angle for me to glide against and I continued to thrust against her until I came. My grip was firm and held her up when her knees were too weak to hold her.

My wolf gloried in the new position and before I knew what was happening I was thrusting into her from behind yet again. The whimpers and yelps that tore from her throat sounded like mate cries in my ears and they made my muscles tighten and my spine tingle and my fingers clenched until they bruised her soft flesh.

With a satisfied rumble I relaxed and let my weight carry us to the floor.

Spencer's body sprawled out on the floor bonelessly and she continued to shiver. I let out a low growl as she continued to grind into me slowly. I growled in satisfaction and laid my hands over hers lacing our fingers together.

Spencer mumbled something unintelligible and shifted closer to me, rubbing her skin all along mine.

My wolf hummed in appreciation and I nuzzled her neck, licking over her skin and nipping gently at her shoulder.

"Mine," I whispered, squeezing her against me tightly.

I rolled my hips against her ready to go again and I felt a shiver race down her spine once again. I nipped her again, a little harder this time.

"Mine." And this time it was more a growl then anything else.

Spencer turned her head and looked at me. She licked her lips and tried to form some words. "oos" she licked her lips once again "Yours." She agreed.

"Damn it. She always gets the hot ones."

I've never seen a human move as fast as Spencer did when Aiden walked into the house. She looked like a deer caught in headlights, and it didn't take a mind reader to see the horror on her face at being caught in a compromising situation. I barked at Aiden and sent him out to the deck.

#############################################

Swallowing a curse, I reached for my clothes and put them on, but I didn't bother with buttoning my shirt.

"Is it safe to come back in?" Aiden asked from the deck.

I looked towards the deck and growled in frustration, all I wanted to do was follow my mate to the bedroom and continue what we were doing. I picked up a shoe and considered slinging it at Aiden's head, but dismissed that idea as I let the shoe fall back to the floor.

If I hurt him I would have to deal with Madison, and that's just scary. I shivered at just the thought of the Latina coming at me.

If I could have I would have jerked the door open but it just wasn't the same effect with a sliding glass door.

"What the hell do you want?" My eyes glowed yellow and rumbled in my chest, it also wanted to finish our mating ritual before Spencer changed her mind.

Aiden stepped back with an innocent shrug. "Well, a second ago I wanted to tell you what I heard at the bar. But know I'm thinking I want one of what you just had. With a cherry on top."

My lip curled into a snarl. "You come within an inch of my mate and I'll strangle you with your own penis."

A red film surrounded Aiden as I looked at him. His eyebrows shot up, followed by him raising his hands up in surrender.

"I meant no disrespect." He offered as he dropped his eyes to the floor and turned his head to the side. "Only a compliment. I would never think of touching your mate."

"You didn't disrespect me. You disrespected Madison." I said. "Maybe I should tell her what you did." I ground out between my clenched teeth. I took a deep breath followed by another and another finally the red film in my eyesight began to clear. I could still feel my heart beating in the vein at my temples but all in all it was getting better.

I glared at Aiden, who had lost all color to his face, and it took another few breaths before I could talk to him again. I still wanted to beat him to a pulp but I was restraining my instinctual wolf and her furious nature. "In recognition of our family bonds…and if you want your heart to continue beating then I suggest you not make any other comments along those lines again, because I will tell Madison and when she gets done with you it will be my turn, and let me tell you there won't be anything left when I'm done." I followed that up with a finger jab into his chest.

"No, never again." He said with his eyes still looking to the ground and in a respectful tone. His posture offered no challenge to my inner wolf so his meaning sank through my thick skull and smoothed my inner wolfs hackles back into place. My mate was safe. I could think a little clearly.

"Right. Now why did you interrupt our mating?"

"I'm sorry for interrupting you, but I tried your cell phone and when you didn't answer the door….if I had known why you didn't answer….." He wouldn't look at me in the eyes.

"Cut the crap and look at me." I growled. "I'm sorry I jumped down your throat."

Aiden lifted an eyebrow as he lifted his head to look at me. "You sure? Because if I was you I would be pissed by my interruption, too."

I snorted and rubbed my neck. "You could definitely use a lesson in timing."

"I had no idea she was here…honest. I didn't know you were doing the mate bond."

"Right. Fate doesn't give you a break when it says it's time it's time." I continued to rub my neck. "Doesn't that just piss you off?" I added with a smile.

"I've seen her, I don't think it put you out any." He said with a grin.

"You may have a point." I said with a wolfish grin. "So I'd rather be spending the next couple of hours with my mate so no offense…."

"None taken." He said "You've received an invitation…..for this evening."

"I think I'm going to be too busy." I said as I looked towards the bedroom door. "Tell whoever it is that I'm busy."

"It's from the elders."

A curse left my lips. While the elders were technically expected to function as a counsel to the next generation and to the Alpha and Beta of the pack, but in reality Christine and myself hardly ever paid them any attention, because they didn't like to live in the present but in the past and they think every thing should be like it was then. We shouldn't mingle with the rest of the others or with puny humans.

They didn't bless Christine when she became Alpha but they didn't fight her on it either. When I became Beta there was a little rumbling of favoritism but that soon quieted down when I proved myself to the rest of the pack, and fought for my position, and held it.

In other words we pretty much ignored the elders and the strategy seemed to be working. Why would they want to stick their noses in pack business now could mean only one thing.

"Jacob." I ground out.

"That would be my guess as well." Aiden spit out.

It was the only explanation. Anything else was just too big a coincidence to be believed.

"What the hell did he say to make them want to get into pack business again?" I asked in disbelief.

Aiden pursed his lips. "You want to know what I think?"

"Sure."

"You might not like it." He said

"No shit."

"I think he stirred them up with the subject of you being mate-less. I think he brought up breeder's rights, he wants the elders on his side when it all comes down."

"Maybe, but can it really help him in the long run? I mean they're only in an advisory position; we don't have to take their advice. They don't really have any power."

"No, but they do have influence. Think about over ninety percent of the pack is related to one of them some way or another."

I started pacing. Jacob couldn't have timed it any worse if he had tried. "Do you remember when he first changed?"

"Jacob?" he asked

"Yes."

Aiden smirked. "Do I ever, it was in the middle of your high school graduation."

"That's right Christine and his mom had to tell everyone that it was a seizure brought on by all the noise and lights, and they had to get him out of there as quickly as possible. By the time they got him home and Christine made it back she had missed me getting my diploma." I said "I guess I should count myself lucky he didn't just walk in on me twenty minutes ago like some people."

"Exactly." Aiden said and then he snapped his head towards me "Wait, what?"

"I'm just kidding." I said as I hit him on the shoulder.

"Sure." He said as he rubbed his arm. "If you're going to mate out in the open…."

"It's my house." I grumbled.

"And you're the Beta we're supposed to be able to get a hold of you at all time of the day."

"I wasn't thinking all that clearly." I said

"Not from what I saw." He agreed. "Didn't look like much thinking was happening."

"I can't help it. I look at her and then I just got to have her." I said sheepishly. Actually all I had to do was think about her and I was ready. "It's the damnedest thing, she's the only one who's ever gotten to me like that."

"Maybe you should tell the elders." He said "It sure would put a hole in Jacob's plans if you told them you have a mate. Even if she's human."

"I thought about it, but it's a bad idea."

"Why?" Aiden asked

"The human thing."

"That's not a big deal. There have been several human mates in the clan before, and Spencer wouldn't be the first….I mean some might grumble but I don't think they would do it to your face."

"There have been a couple of humans in the pack but how many have been Omega?"

"None."

"Right. And out of those humans how long has it taken to prove to them that they are the mate of a Lupine?"

Aiden winced "A long time."

"I don't have a long time." I swore "What happens if I tell the elders and she doesn't agree…..I would have to chase her across the earth and make her listen."

"You don't think she'll want to be your mate?"

"I think it's too early to be taking it for granted that she will."

"Why don't you tell her and see what she says? Maybe she'll work with you. You know put up a united front and all that."

"First, I don't think the challenge is going to blow over either way as long as Jacob is alive." I said as I shook my head. "Second, Spencer is human if she hears 'mate', 'breeding', and 'challenge' I think she would go to ground."

Aiden shook his head. "Wow, I guess you're just screwed then."

"Thanks." I growled.

"No problem." Aiden said as he shifted in place he started to leave then he turned back around. "What do you want me to tell the elders? I mean it seems more of a summons then anything else."

I thought about it for a moment and then I thought about Spencer and her moans and whimpers of ecstasy, and then about the three elders who wanted to give me a hard time about something they had no right to. Both were a duty, but I only cared about one.

I turned towards Aiden "Find out when they want to meet and let me know."

Aiden shook his head yes.

"And next time call or better yet knock and wait for an answer, I'll listen to my voice mail when I can, if I don't pick up."

Aiden nodded. "All right, I'll ask them when they come back."

"Wait, they're here now?" I asked

"Yes, at the club."

I looked up and prayed for patience I took a deep breath and turned my head towards the bedroom, judging by the smell wafting out of the bedroom my mate wasn't happy either.

"Wait," I said as Aiden reached for the door handle "I'll come now. If they're here now without sending a warning they must be worked up, and in that case it would be a bad idea to make them wait." And my decision had nothing to do with wanting Spencer to calm down before I faced her. Not at all.

"You sure?" Aiden asked.

"Yes, is Madison in your car?" I asked

Aiden smirked "Yes, she didn't want to bother you."

"Can you ask her to come in?" I looked at him.

"Why?"

"I don't want Spencer to run." I mumbled.

"What?"

"I said I don't want her to run." I glared at him

"Right, of course." He said as he went out to collect Madison.

"Shut up." I shouted after him. All I heard was him chuckling as he closed the door.
