I yawn and turn to the side, cuddling closer into my fluffy pillow. The soft fabric cradles my face comfortingly. I snuggle deeper into it. A familiar masculine scent flows up to my nose as I bury my head and my wolf purrs. It smells so good. I could die happy with this surrounding me.

Wait.

Pillows? When did I fall asleep?

My eyes shoot open.

I slowly push myself up. A small pain shoots through my right arm.

The dark room is lightly lit up from a T.V. and I can hear the light muffling of voices from something that's playing on the screen in front of the bed I'm sitting in. Hold on. I know this room. I've been in here before.

I crawl to the foot of the bed and glance down to confirm my suspicions. A smile creeps onto my face. Yup, I was right.

"She finally wakes up." Greyson states, sitting on the ground, still watching the screen.

"Finally?" I ask, "how long was I out?"

"A couple of hours."

"Hours!" I hop off the bed, "Shit, the mission!"

"Relax, I handled it." He adds plainly, and completely calm.

I give him a strange look, "You handled it?"

"Yup," he finally turns to me, "After you passed out over my shoulder, I brought you here, wrapped your arm, then went back to Derek's room. We got the whole thing planned. You don't need to worry about it."

I glance down and for the first time. I notice that my jean jacket is off and my arm has a gauze wrapped around it. So Greyson did this? I'm really not used to people caring for me like this. It makes me feel... vulnerable.

"You didn't have to do all this, you know." I tell him.

He laughs, "The least you could do is say thank you."

My cheeks heat up immediately. Oh shit, he is right. I can't believe I was so rude!

"Sorry," I sigh and sit down next to him, looking him in the eye, "thank you."

He smirks, reaching his hand out and ruffles my hair, "That's the reaction I was looking for."

I swat his hand away, "Geez you're messing up my hair!"

"You had a slight case of bed head anyway." He says with a shrug.

I pout as he continues to pat me. He watches my expression carefully, and a smile creeps onto his face.

"What kind of look is that?" He starts to chuckle.

"It's my puppy dog face because you won't listen to me!" I retort sadly.

His hand slips from my head, "It's adorable."

My eyes flick up to his. To my surprise, he isn't lying. There is sincerity written all over his face. So he thinks my expressions can be adorable? I don't know if I have ever heard someone say something that nice to me since I was a little kid.

My blush grows so I turn toward the TV.

"Whatcha watching?" I ask, changing the subject since I'm a tad embarassed.

"Some weird show about aliens. It's on the SiFi network. I couldn't find anything else to watch."

"Aliens are creepy." I state.

"They are also very fake. It's ridiculous that people think they can exist."

"What? Aliens so exist!"

He gives me an odd look, "Are you crazy?"

I frown, "No, but you can't tell me that we are the only life forms in the universe. Do you know how many planets are out there?"

He sighs, "Well if you say it like that, then yeah there might be some other life forms out there. I just don't think any of them would come conquer planets or invade us the way movies and shows portray them too."

I shrug, leaning back on the little foot chest in front of his bed so I'm mirroring the way Greyson is sitting.

"I guess that makes sense. At least I would hope they wouldn't conquer us like that-" I say as the door to Greyson's room flings open.

Leo stands there. He is dressed casually, but his face appears shocked.

"Uh... hey Lucia, I didn't know you were in here. I can leave if you guys-"

"Leo, just come in. We're just watching TV don't make this weird." Greyson says, "What do you want?"

Leo clears his throat but takes a few steps into the room, "Well I'm not going to stay, but I wanted to see if you would come play C.O.D. with Derek and myself."

Greyson sighs, "Yeah I will think about it. I'm not big into those games like you two."

Leo smirks, "You don't like them because it's the only thing I can kick your ass in. Admit it, you're jealous of my gaming skills."

Greyson rolls his eyes, "I'm not jealous of the fact that you are better at games than I am."

Leo laughs, "Whatever, you're jealous." Leo turns to me, "You can come too Lucia! Well only if you want to. Feel free to invite any friends too..."

I smirk, "You mean Rina, my only friend?"

His cheeks light up, "I didn't necessarily mean it like that..."

I laugh, "If I stop by I will bring her, don't worry. That way you can show off your gaming skills."

Somehow he gets even more red. He almost looks like a tomato.

"I said I didn't mean it like that! Stop getting the wrong idea! I'm leaving."

"Aww, Leo I think it's cute-" he slams the door halfway through my sentence.

"You tease him too much." Greyson says with a smirk.

I giggle, "Yeah but he is fun to tease. I know he is crushing on Rina and I think it's adorable."

"Well it might be more than a crush." He states.

I give him a weird look as I stand from the ground, "What do you mean? Like they will become boyfriend and girlfriend soon?"

"Something like that..." he adds, standing from the ground as well.

I head toward the door, "Well you probably want to join them. Leo also wants to see Rina so I should probably get her for him."

As I reach for the handle, a hand comes from behind my shoulder, landing on the door, preventing me from opening it. A warm presence lingers close to my back. Tingles shoot through my body as hot breath grazes my neck.

"And what do you want?" Greyson's deep voice whispers from behind me.

Chills flow through my body. I slowly turn around so that I'm facing him. My body is trapped between him and the door. My heart races in anticipation as heat spreads through my body. My wolf stirs anxiously.

"What do I want?" I ask gently.

His deep emerald eyes pierce into mine, "Yes. You only seems to care about what other's want. But what do you want? Right now."

His face hovers close to my own. I glance down to his lips then back up to his eyes. My body urging me to lean forward and kiss him already. Wait. That's what I want. Him. But how do I tell him that? I can't just say that I want him to kiss me, can I? Isn't that weird?

"Um... I want..." I say shyly. Trying to voice my embarrassing desires.

"Yes?"

"..." I take a deep breath and answer, "you-" I start to say as his lips crash upon mine.

His body forms against my own, gently pushing me against the wall. I savor his warm taste as his hands move to my hips, slowly and torturously skimming down my sides.

Our lips move in sync. He slips his tongue into my mouth. I savor his every taste. Something about this kiss is filling me with need and desire. Every second aching me to have more of him. I slide my hands onto his sturdy shoulders, slowly running them down and over his muscles.

They trail down his pecks to his stomach. Damn, his abs are a lot less fun to touch when he has a shirt on. Am I allowed to take it off of him? I wish I wasn't so new to these things...

His warm hands trail up and down my back so slowly. Tingles erupt from ever spot he passes, leaving me in complete bliss. He kisses me deeper as he brings his hands down. He reaches my butt and gently squeezes it in his hands. A rush of heat flows into my body. He bends down a bit and scoops up my thighs. He pulls me up so that way I am now straddling his waist. From this new angle, I deepen the kiss and trail my fingers up to the back of his head.

I gently tug his soft dark brown hair. A small growl escapes his lips and I feel myself smirk. I guess he liked that. My wolf glows in pride. Glad that she is able to please him. Odd of her to turn up in a moment like this. She hid away that time Damien kissed me.

Then he breaks the kiss for a moment. I slowly open my eyes to see him smirking. He gently tosses me on the bed and I let out a surprised squeal. I land softly on the mattress and look up into Greyson's darkening eyes.

As he stalks over to me he takes his shirt off, tossing it to the floor. Internally I smile, it's about time that thing came off.

"Guess we're skipping out on video games, huh?" I ask lightly, and a little out of breath, as his god-like body hovers over mine, causing me to lean back on the bed.

"I never liked those things anyway." He says, slowly inching toward me.

I close my eyes again as his lips connect with mine. It starts off slower this time, more passionate. I trail my fingers down his smooth skin, outlining every crevice. Each muscle rippling as I pass. He is just so sexy. I want to memorize every part of him.

We continue the slow kiss as his hands travel down my sides. They reach the bottom of my long shirt. He slowly drags it up. He keeps going and I get the feeling he is going to take it off.

My heart pumps nervously in my chest. I slightly lift my back from the bed as he breaks the kiss for a quick second to take my shirt off completely. I feel my cheeks blaze red as Greyson's eyes hungrily skim over my body. Just being in a bra and being looked at is a thrilling experience. I feel embarrassed yet exhilarated. I don't know if I can take this much embarrassment.

I quickly reach out and grab his face in my hands, pulling him back up to my face. He smirks and complies eagerly as he kisses me. I close my eyes and I feel myself relax a bit since he is no longer looking at me. Warm hands trail up my flat stomach, butterflies erupt as he continues his trek. Heat explodes through me and desire pulses throughout my blood. What is this feeling? Whatever it is, I really want to satisfy it.

My heart pounds as his fingers skim under my bra line. Warm shivers travel across my skin at every move he makes. He slips a hand under my bra, surprising me. His fingers gently tug on sensitive skin and I let out a small moan.

Shit that's embarrassing. Am I supposed to do that?

He continues on, creating a building sensation throughout my body. I feel myself begin to breathe harder. The feeling is so intense and magical, I can't contain another moan from escaping.

Our kiss continues heatedly, but all I can focus on is this odd sensation building in my gut. He continues to work his magic with his hands. Suddenly he breaks the kiss, trailing his lips past my cheek and down my neck. As he does so, he reaches behind my back with his one hand, unclipping my bra and quickly tossing it aside. He kisses all the way down to where his hands are. I feel my cheeks heat up, slightly embarrassed by where he is kissing.

The embarrassment quickly passes as he gently begins to suck and nip. I moan again, gripping onto the bed sheets. The feeling is so sensual and amazing, I never want him to stop.

My breathing turns to pants as he continues. After a bit, I feel myself start to quiver under his touch. He slows down and I start to get my conscious back. He hovers over me again and connects his lips to mine. Our tongues swirl together.

His hands trace down my stomach. He gets to the brim of my shorts. My heart pounds nervously in my chest and I start to panic. I don't think I'm ready for this yet.

His fingers trace the area. My heart can't take anymore, so I reach down and grab his hand gently. I break the kiss for a moment. I feel my wolf whimper at me, sadden by the sudden separation.

"Wait..." I say softly.

I look up into Greyson's eyes. I notice just how dark they have gotten compared to his normal emerald.

"Shit..." he sighs and closes his eyes, hiding them from me, "Sorry Lucia, I got caught up in the moment."

What? This is in no way his fault... I wish I wasn't so inexperienced for his sake.

"Don't be sorry... It's my fault. I'm just not used to any of this. It's a lot to take in..." I add, my tone light and gentle.

His eyes open again, revealing a beautiful emerald color. Maybe his wolf started to take over before? I wonder if his wolf reacts to me the way my wolf reacts to him? Unlikely.

"You make it sound like it's your first time doing anything more than kissing." he states with a smirk.

I frown and a blush forms on my face, "and hypothetically, if that was true, what's so wrong with that..."

He looks shocked, "wait. Is this really your first time having someone touch you like this?"

"Geez you make it sound so embarrassing... but yes actually it is. Thanks for pointing out just how inexperienced I am... Sorry for not living up to your expectations." I roll my eyes, starting to get defensive.

I hate being like this. It's so embarrassing. It just shows how no guy looks at me like a girl. Honestly, most girls in the pack lose their virginity around sixteen. I'm a disgrace...

"Woah woah woah. Stop making it sound like a bad thing." He cuts in, "I'm actually glad you're inexperienced."

I give him a weird look, "You are?" He nods and I think for a moment, "You know Greyson, you're nothing like the other guys in this pack."

He laughs and slides to the side of me, so that he is no longer hovering over my body, "I hope you don't mean that in a bad way."

My eyes widen, "Of course not! I mean it in the best way possible. Any other guy would have probably just continued and not listened when I asked you to stop..."

He growls, "Seriously?"

I nod, "Yup. I mean I guess I understand. Their wolves take over sometimes and it's hard to control. I'm just glad I've never been in a situation that went too far like that."

"Their wolves taking over is not an excuse Lucia."

He is actually getting upset by this? But this is just common stuff that happens with rogues. When you're a rogue and not part of a pack, it is a lot harder to control your wolf. Instinct takes over a lot, leaving the guys with a lot of sexual tension that needs to be satisfied.

"This kind of thing happens all the time. Well, that is, until the girl meets her mate or if someone claims her accidentally." I say, studying his features.

How long did he say he was a rogue for again? Did he ever say? I wonder if he has ever felt his wolf take over completely?

He seems a bit shocked. Huh, him and Leo must be new rogues. They probably haven't experienced being a lone rogue for long so they have no idea about these things.

"That's why we have the service here. This way, the girls feel like they have some form of control over who they get to do it with. Even though they really don't have a choice."

He sighs, reaching out to grab my shoulders. He pulls my in, embracing me. I'm a little shocked at first, but I fit perfectly in his arms. I close my eyes and nuzzle into his chest. Warm tingles flow through my whole body. I feel my wolf purr in content and I relax.

"Don't ever join that service." He says with a worried tone.

I laugh, "Don't worry, I would rather die than join that thing. Anyway, since my father is Beta I get to chose what I want to do."

"So you chose the Rogue Squad?" He asks, pulling me out of the hug.

The distance saddens me, even though we are still so close to one another.

"Yeah, it's the only thing that made my father proud. I was the only child my mom and father were able to have due to complications with my mom. My father was pretty upset that he was never going to have a son, so that's basically what I became."

"So the Squad kind of means a lot to you, huh?" He asks.

"Yeah," I think about all the times I thought I was going to give up, but for my father I pushed through the pain, "It was my whole childhood. I trained my whole life for this team."

He smiles, "Then let's kick ass in the mission tomorrow."

I smirk back at him, "I wouldn't expect anything less."
