Hey guys! I'm sorry about the delayed update. Life got a little busy there for about a week or so. My best friend's mom finally got married to the guy she's been dating for years so I had to do that and also work has been a little draining as well. Also, I was kind of running out of ideas on how I should take this story. I had one planned, but I didn't know how to exactly link it to that plot line. So, I am basically just winging it as I go. I would like to thank you guys for the reviews, favorites, and follows of either myself or this story...or any other story that I have written in the past. It really means a lot to me and it helps keep me motivated when I see that other people out there like my story. This chapter was a little hard to write and I actually had to rewrite some parts multiple times so hopefully it came out good enough for you guys. I hope you enjoy. =)

Chapter Three

Before I realized it, we were both slowly leaning into one another. Closing my eyes, I waited for the feel of her soft, smooth lips to finally touch mine. I could almost feel it, almost touch her on me.

"Hey short stack and red! We are all going to go inside and watch a movie so come on!" Amy said.

We both quickly pulled away from one another, each of us blushing equally. I slowly got up and offered her my hand, which she was quick to take. I saw my sister smirking over at me and I just knew we would have to have a talk about what happened later. Chloe and I walked into Stacie's house hand in hand, and I made my way into the living room while Chloe decided to go to the bathroom with Aubrey for something. Annika took the time to slide in next to me on the small couch that I was currently sitting on.

"So…you and Chloe…" Annika said with a grin.

"What about me and Chloe?" I asked, deciding to just play it off. I can't let her know that I'm falling for her so soon. Wait…falling for her? Is that what I'm doing?

Annika rolled her eyes at me and said, "You know what I'm talking about. You both have been awfully cozy to one another all day. And let's not forget about the almost kiss you both shared a few minutes ago. Yeah, I saw that so you can't deny it."

Sighing, I decided to give up my act. "I don't know sis…she's just so…amazing. At first I didn't want to associate with her. I just wanted her to disappear or something. But now, now she has grown on me and I don't want her to disappear. She's so down to earth and so fucking gorgeous. I'm feeling these feelings that I have never felt before Annika."

Annika smiled wide at me. "It's called falling in love Beca. Aw, my baby sister is finally accepting her mate."

"Um, we are both the same age." I said, completely ignoring her other statement.

"Yeah well, you act like a baby most of the time so deal with it." Annika said with a grin. Before she could say anything else though, Chloe and Aubrey came back from the bathroom. Annika saw and threw a wink at me before she got up from the couch. I could see Chloe's eyes searching for me throughout the room, and once she saw me a big smile grew on her face. She came over and sat close next to me, our legs accidentally touching. Yeah…I'm definitely falling for this girl.

Stacie and Amy decided to put on a scary movie, which I was definitely okay with. By the time the movie was half way over, Chloe was basically sitting on my lap, her face hiding in the crook of my neck. To say that I had butterflies was a major understatement. Since I absolutely hate movies, yeah I know…I actually hate them, I spent most of the time sending discrete glances down at Chloe. Smiling at the cute sight that is her, I slowly wrapped an arm around her waist. I saw her look up at me and we both looked into each other's eyes. There's just something about this girl that I can't look away. I felt myself slowly lean in closer to her and before I knew it, our lips were ghosting over each other's. A loud bang coming from the movie caused both of us to quickly jump apart, making us both equally blush. I am seriously getting pissed off with getting interrupted each time. The rest of the movie went like normal, except for Chloe and I cuddling. Once it was over, I looked around and saw that everyone was asleep. Looking down at Chloe, I was met with her bright blue eyes looking back up at me. We both smiled at one another and I mouthed, "Want to go take a walk?" which she quickly agreed too. After quietly tiptoeing outside, we started to walk along the path that Stacie had made in the woods.

"So, how did you like the movie?" Chloe asked to start off the conversation.

"Actually, can I be truthful with you?" I asked while looking over at her.

"Of course you can Beca. You can always be truthful with me and I will never think any differently of you." Chloe said with a smile.

It almost sounded like there was a double meaning behind those words. Oh god…what if she found out about my condition? She was looking a lot down in my lower region today while we were swimming…was I that obvious? Deciding to just ignore those words, I gave Chloe a smile and said, "I actually hate movies."

"Oh my god really? How can you hate movies Becs? Hating movies is like…like hating puppies or a cute fluffy animal." Chloe said in surprise.

Laughing at her reaction, I decided to explain it to her. "It's not like all movies are terrible. It's just…it's just that most of them are too predictable to me. In almost every romance movie the guy gets the girl, or in scary movies all of the obvious characters get killed off."

"Not every movie is predictable though. Like for Star Wars, people didn't know that Darth Vader was Luke's father." Chloe said.

Smiling, I decided to throw my knowledge out there. "The word "Vader" in German means father, so Darth Vader is literally Darth Father. It's kind of not that hard to put two and two together."

Chloe seemed surprised at me knowing that, which made me smirk. "Okay, so you just happen to know German and was able to guess the biggest cinematic reveal in history. That's probably why you hate movies because you know too many languages."

We both started laughing at each other and our ability to sound like a complete dork. "So, do you know any languages?" I decided to ask after we both calmed down.

"Unfortunately, I don't know any other language besides this one. I guess not all of us are able to be as talented as you are miss Mitchell." Chloe said with a wink.

Smirking, I said, "I guess that just means you're not as badass as I am miss Beale. Guess you'll have to learn the ways."

"Oh yeah? And what makes you think you're such a badass? Because I can tell you from what I know that you're not a badass at all." Chloe said with a confident smile.

I continued smirking at her. By now we have stopped walking and were now sitting on a broken down log that was along the path that we were on. If only she knew that I am a lycan. That would prove to her that I'm a badass. "Well, let's just go along with your theory about this and tell me why you seem to think that I'm not a badass."

"Well, if you have to know…you're not a badass because you're too sweet, or at least to me anyway. You seem like a really down to earth person and I just want to know everything about you. And plus, badasses are usually assholes and you definitely don't seem to be the type. You are definitely something special Beca Mitchell."

Like I said…if she only knew… We continued to walk along the path that led us into the woods a little deeper. I felt her slowly slide her hand into mine, which made my heart start to race even more than it already is. We continued to talk more about our past and our families. I really want to show her my true form. I want to be as open as possible with her. You must be patient with this part of the mating bond. You cannot expose us until we know she is ready to handle the truth. Nothing is worse than a mate who rejects us. Nodding my head discretely, I wouldn't want anyone to think I'm crazy now would I, I looked over at Chloe. Her hair was exceptionally red in the moonlight, almost like it was glowing. I started to feel tingles travel all along my body from just looking at her. I could feel my lower area slowly start to stand a little more at attention than normal. Jesus, this is so not the time for me to get happy down there. If just looking at her does this to me, I can't imagine what kissing her or doing more with her would do. At that thought, I felt myself harden a little more. Before I knew it, I was groaning just a little at the thought and quickly covered it up with a cough.

Chloe turned to me with concern written all over her face. "Are you okay Becs? Your face is getting a little flustered looking over there."

How in the hell can she see what my face look like? It must be the moonlight or something. Smiling at her and trying to act as normal as possible, I said, "Noth…Nothing is wrong Chlo. I just accidentally swallowed a bug is all."

Chloe seemed to accept my lame excuse and started to giggle. "Well, maybe you shouldn't be walking with your mouth open. Am I really that much of a sight to see that you have to drool over me?" Chloe said playfully. I felt my eyes bulge out in surprise, making her giggle even more. I felt her hand land on my chest near my collarbone as she got closer to me. Looking at her, I can practically see her breath coming out as she exhales, that's how close she is to me now. I held my breath as she got impossibly closer to my face and said, "Breath Becs, I was just teasing you. But, I'll let you in on a little secret of mine…" Chloe then acted like she was going to lean in for a kiss, but at the last second she went to my ear and whispered, "I've been drooling over you all night and I have been wanting to kiss you all night as well."

When Chloe pulled away from me, I watched dumbfounded as she shot me a wink and started to walk on the path we were on. Ho-ly shit. This girl is definitely going to be the death of me. Quickly shaking myself out of my shocked state, I jogged up to her and caught up. We walked for about a mile or so when I realized where we were. Smiling, I decided to take Chloe to my special place.

Walking behind her, I slid my arms around her waist while leaning in to whisper softly in her ear. "Hey, I want to take you some place, but it's going to require me to carry you on my back."

Chloe turned around in my arms with a grin on her face. I watched as she looked down at my lips for a moment and then looked back up at my eyes. "If you wanted me on top of you, all you had to do was ask." Chloe winked at me and walked behind me.

Rolling my eyes and trying not to allow myself to get flustered, I opened up my arms and waited for her to jump on. "You are so full of yourself aren't you?" I said teasingly as I felt her weight go on my back. Of course, this wasn't a challenge to do at all since I have superior strength, but I couldn't let Chloe in on how easy it was for me.

"I'm pretty confident about all this." Chloe said as she wrapped her legs around my waist. I smiled and held onto her tightly and started to walk with her on my back.

"As you should be. Now, in order to get there, I'm going to have to run with you on my back and do some climbing. Just make sure you are holding on tightly because I don't want you to fall okay?"

I felt her nod her head yes as she wrapped herself around me even tighter. I smiled and took off running at a human pace. We can't be showing off for her just yet. Ah but the time will be coming soon. It's been several minutes since we started the trek and Chloe was being as patient as ever. If anything, I think she is impressed of my strength.

"You know, for a midget, you're pretty damn strong. And you can see amazingly well due to the poor lighting out here. How is that even possible?" Chloe asked with a giggle.

Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. I'm being too obvious about me not being human. She's going to find out soon enough and then she is going to hate me and run. Oh will you stop being so damn dramatic? Your sister is right about you. Just lie, you know she will believe anything you say. And if she doesn't, she won't push the subject because she doesn't want to cross a line with you. Taking a deep breath, I decided that I was indeed over reacting about the situation.

Deciding to go along with Chloe's amusement, I giggled with her and said, "It's part of my family's genes. We all were excellent runners and we all have pretty good eye sight."

"Damn, I wish I was as lucky as you then. I can't see too much in the darkness, in fact, I'm actually kind of afraid of the dark." Chloe said with a shiver.

"Why are you afraid of the dark? There's nothing to be scared of. It's only creepy if you let it be creepy." I said as I continued on running along the path. Every once in awhile I would climb up some rocks and then continue on running.

"Well, ever since I was little I have been terrified to go into darkened spaces alone. Um Becs? If I uh…if I tell you something, will you promise me you won't laugh at me for it?" Chloe asked. I could tell she was sincerely worried that I was going to laugh at her. Trust me, nothing can be as weird or embarrassing as being a lycan woman with a male's penis down below instead of a vagina. I think I can handle it.

But of course I didn't tell her what was on my mind so instead I said, "I would never laugh at you or make fun of you for anything. I promise Chloe."

I felt her sigh a relief against the back of my neck, effectively sending me chills. "Okay well um…when I was younger, I was playing outside by myself because Emily was too busy playing with her dolls in her room. You see, I was never the girly child that my parents wanted me to be. No, that was Emily's role in the family. I was more of the tomboy child who would rather play adventure outside than play dress up with the other kids. So anyway, it was getting late and I knew I should have been going inside the house for the night, but something told me that I should stay outside, that I may be missing something. Well, I kept on playing whatever made up game that I created that day when I saw it."

That quickly got my attention. This definitely doesn't sound good. You need to keep your senses up because this will be important I feel like. "What did you see Chlo?" I asked as I slowly stopped running and put her down so I could see her.

Chloe looked up at me and I could see the fear in her eyes. There was so much fear in her eyes that it made me almost afraid myself. "Um…well I kept hearing strange noises coming from the wooded area behind my house. I ignored them at first but as these noises continued, the more curious I got. Finally being fed up of whatever I thought was in the woods, I decided to do some investigation myself. As I walked into the woods, I saw these glowing grey eyes staring at me. I was freaking out by this time because I had no clue what that could be. By the this time though, I had walked several feet into the woods and so it was completely pitch black. Those grey eyes kept getting closer and closer to me until they just suddenly disappeared. Me being the curious person that I am, I decided to see if anyone was in there by yelling out a hello. Right behind me, I felt something breathing down the back of my neck. I mean, it was so close behind me that I could practically feel my neck getting moist from whatever it was that was behind my back. Slowly turning around, I saw those grey eyes glowing back at me."

This really isn't good. Those grey eyes she described, it could easily have been a lycan. But why would a lycan be watching her? They normally don't stay around humans. "What happened when you saw the eyes staring back at you?"

By this time Chloe had tears forming in her eyes as she continued on with her story. "I did what any six year old child would do. I screamed and ran as fast as I could out of there. Unfortunately, I was even clumsier than I am now and I stumbled on some type of branch. When I turned around to see if the thing was following me, I saw those eyes just watching me from a distance. Soon enough, I heard possibly the loudest and most terrifying roar that I have ever heard and those eyes came charging after me. Thankfully, I made it out of the woods and ran into the house. I haven't seen or heard whatever it was in there again. But I did come out of there with a deep cut on my leg. It ended up scarring once it got healed."

"Um, could I possibly see the scar it left?" I asked hesitantly. If it was a lycan like I think it was, it would have left a certain scar on her leg. Chloe lifted up her leg and showed me it. Examining the scar on it, I gasped at the sight of it. There are three huge scratch lines that go up her leg at an angle. That was definitely a lycan who did that to her. But I wonder why though? You need to be cautious Beca, I feel like there is something more to this and it is going to bring a big storm for us in the future.

"I know…it's ugly…" Chloe said as I still haven't said anything.

I quickly looked up at her and pulled her into my arms slowly. "No Chloe no, it's not ugly at all. If anything, it makes you even more beautiful than you already are. I was just surprised is all."

Chloe looked up at me and smiled. "You think I'm beautiful?"

Smiling at her while looking deep into her arms, I slowly pushed a piece of hair back behind her ear. "Of course I think you're beautiful."

Chloe looked from my lips back to my eyes and whispered quietly while slowly leaning in. "I really want to kiss you right now."

Smiling, I started to lean in as well and whispered just as quietly, "Then kiss me." Our lips slowly met and I instantly felt sparks shoot up and down my body. I could hear my inner lycan growl happily and I pulled Chloe closer to my body. Soon enough, she managed to push me up against a tree while running her tongue across my lip, begging for entrance. I quickly accepted and our kiss deepened even further. Hands started to roam across bodies as different moans were exchanged multiple times. I felt myself slowly get hard completely and I quickly pulled myself away before she could see. Thankfully, it was dark out so she couldn't see it at all.

Breathing heavily, she said, "Woah…that was the best kiss I have ever had."

Smiling and breathing just as heavily I said, "I definitely agree with that. But, I think we should take things slow. I really like you and I don't want to rush into anything that we aren't prepared for just yet…if that's okay with you?"

Chloe smiled and kissed me softly, thankfully not feeling my erection that I have going on down there. "Of course that is fine with me. I have been wanting to kiss you all night and now that I finally have, I don't want to stop. I really like you Beca and I want to see where this takes us. And if it just so happens to be a relationship, then I am completely happy with that."

Smiling, I slid my hand in hers and started to walk back down the trail to lead us to the house. "Good, because I'm hoping this will lead us into a relationship. I can't get enough of you Chloe and I want to know everything that is to know about Chloe Beale."

So there's the third chapter for you guys. Like I mentioned earlier, I had a little bit of a hard time writing this one for some reason. I hope you guys liked this final version that I picked for it.
