Chapter 12 (Steven)
    
            She was the most beautiful woman that my eyes had ever laid their sights on and she is mine, absolutely and positively all mine.  My chest expanded and filled with pride because this little femme wolf belonged to only me.  

            I loved feeding my mate.  She accepted the first bite of potato salad like a baby gobbling their first taste of applesauce.  A sly smile lit up her face making the moment all that more perfect.  I pinched off a bite size piece from the ham and cheese sandwich that I had made earlier and groaned internally when she flicked that little tongue of hers out.  Oh dear Jesus.  The things I imagine she could fdo with that wicked tongue of hers.   I dropped the sandwich bite on her tongue and before I could remove my finger her mouth closed surrounding it. The intense heat from her mouth caused shudders to wrack my body.  What a little minx my mate is turning out to be.  She knew exactly what she was doing to me.  She suckled my finger and I swelled to attention faster than a soldier could stand and salute his general.  

            I finished feeding her and was definitely more aroused that I had ever been.  I tried to arrange myself more comfortably while packing up all the food back into the containers.  There was still one more thing I wanted to give my mate before I had to drive her back to her cousin’s house.  Between the uncomfortable feeling in my nether regions and the nerves of what I was about to offer my mate had me wound as tighter than the strings on a violin.

            She was laying on her back with her knees bent up facing the sky.  I settled myself beside and picked up a lock of her hair twining it around my finger.  She looked up at me and smiled.  I would never tire of seeing that angelic smile.  I could live off of it for the rest of my natural life.

            “What?” she asked while looking up at me with the sweetest expression on her face.

            “Just admiring the view,” I replied.  She sarcastically rolled those blue eyes at me and I couldn’t stop the little chuckle that escaped my lips.  I tickled her sides wanting her full attention back on me and she laughed that laugh that sets my heart beating at a staccato pace.  Everything about her is perfect.  She is the epitome of everything that I had ever wanted in mate.  I would never survive if the hunters from my fathers pack got their grubby hands on her.

            I felt my mates delicate fingers push my lips up into a smile and knew that my thoughts were showing in my face.  

            “Turn that frown upside down,” she whispered and then leaned up to peck my lips.  I growled at her little show of affection.  I needed more; I yearned for so much more.  She was my drug and I am certifiably addicted to her and her alone.  I pulled her lips down and gave her what I thought to be a proper kiss.  Once I released her she stuck out that sinful tongue and licked those swollen rosy lips.  Damn.  The things that my blue eyed beauty can do to me with just a look from those gorgeous eyes.

            I shook my head and pulled the box out that I had been holding for her in my pocket.  It contained a bracelet lined with emeralds and a tiny wolf figurine was attached.   I looked at it before finally handing it to her.  She looked surprised as she took the box out of my hands.

            “What this?” she asked.  I kept my eyes carefully peeled to my lap. 

            “Just a little something,” I mumbled quietly.  I waited and strained to hear for when she opened the box but instead I was met with complete silence surrounding us with the exception of a bird chirping off in the distance.

            Finally I couldn’t take the wait any longer.  “Open it already,” I pushed into her mind.

            Seconds later I heard her gasp and follow with, “Wow, Stevie this is amazing.”

            A little unsure of myself I whispered back into her mind, “You like it?”

            Excitedly she responded, “Like it, I absolutely freaking love it!”

            “Can I put it on you?” I asked her, still a little unsure of her reaction.  

            Eagerly she responded with a “Yes, yes,” and for the first time since we had eaten I felt my muscles begin to uncoil.  Another step had been taken in her complete acceptance of me as her mate.  My inner wolf howled in satisfaction.

            As I placed it on her delicate wrist I explained to her how it belonged to my mother and was typically passed on to the oldest child.  One day I hoped that she would pass it on to our oldest whelp.

            “Since we promised our parents that we wouldn’t bond until after graduation I wanted you to have something to wear signifying my mark.  It’s nowhere near as good as the real thing, but I thought it was a fitting replacement.”  Her palm rested against my cheek and she pulled me so that we were face to face with only a breath of air separating us.

            “It’s perfect Steven, absolutely perfect,” she said just before she brought her lips crashing down onto mine.  This was the first time that my little femme wolf had exercised any sort of dominance and I think I really like this side of my little mate.  I let her lead the kiss and every once in a while I would try to use my alpha side a little just to see her rare up and battle with me in our passion.  I could definitely get used to the little fireball I was holding in my arms.

            “Run with me,” I pushed into her mind.  My wolf wanted to be free with his mate.  Her kisses gradually slowed from a raging fire to a simmering boil just before she pulled away from my lips.  We both stayed close with our foreheads pressed together panting to catch our breaths.

            “Princess?” I asked aloud, “Will you run with me?”

            She hesitated for just a second before her lips curved up and she nodded her head.  I stood up and held my hand out to her.  She let me pull her up and we just stood there drinking in each other.  I took the initiative and first pulled off my shirt.  Her eyes flitted to my abs and my ego grew from the hungry look reflected in her eyes.  Now encouraged, I quickly pulled off the rest of my clothing until I stood fully nude in front of my mate.  She would now and forever be the only person to ever see me in this state.  Her beautiful blue eyes widened and for the briefest of seconds I felt slightly intimidated under her careful scrutiny, at least until she spoke.

            “Is it always that big?” she questioned while taking baby steps closer to me.

            A laugh escaped my lips.  “Only when I’m around you, Princess.  But you may not want to come any closer or I won’t be able to keep that promise to our parents.”

            With those words she halted midstep and a fresh wave of panic crossed her features.  I hurriedly changed into my white wolf hoping that she would feel more comfortable around me.  It must have worked because a quiet sigh escaped her lips and her face seemed to relax.

            I pushed into her mind. “I’m waiting, Princess.  Unfortunately we don’t have all day.  You have a talent show to practice for,” I reminded her.  She slowly started to pull of her shirt and turned so that her back was facing me.

            “Aw, come on Princess, no fair,” I whined into her mind.

            In less than sixty seconds she had her clothing off and was shifting into her beautiful grey wolf.  She tried to hide her modesty from me but I still got a picture perfect view of that creamy ass of hers that tends to drive me up the wall.  I licked my snout in anticipation as I slowly advanced on my mate.   I pushed the picture of her bare ass into her mind and she rounded on me.  A tiny growl escaped her lips as she stared me down.

            “See how irresistible you are to me, Princess,” I called out into her mind.

            She nipped at my front leg before turning and bounding off into the woods.  “Oh, it’s on now, baby doll.” 

            I stood at the tree line for a few minutes wanting to give her a head start before taking off after her.  The trail of her scent was hypnotic.  We darted in and out of trees as we ran freely through nature.  After about fifteen minutes I spotted her.  She was lazing seductively in a little meadow nestled in the woods looking just like the sexy she devil I knew her to be.

            I toed softly along the ground until she was fully in my sight.  Her head lifted and those beautiful blue eyes blinked at me.  A burst of lust shot straight to my groin at the sight of this dangerous femme wolf sitting in front of me.  I inched up to her and nuzzled her neck.  Her scent was so damn intoxicating and I wanted it mingled with mine.  I slowly crawled on top of her and gently rubbed my body on top of hers.  I buried my head in her neck and tempted the fates by letting my teeth graze her neck.  

            I felt her tense immediately and pushed into her mind, “Don’t worry love, I will not mark you yet.  I am still in full control.  Just a little taste.  That’s all I want to pacify my wolf.”

            She relaxed marginally as I gently bit down at her neck.  Not enough to break the skin and permanently mark her as mine, just enough to taste.  The day would eventually come that I could mark her forever as mine.  I licked her snout and nipped at her ears.  Once I was satisfied that my smell was firmly ingrained in her skin I let my little mate up.  We nipped and played with each other for an unknown amount of time.  I was just enjoying her company and really didn’t care about anything other that the two of us and our time together.

            When I finally noticed the light dimming as the sun began to lower I figured that it was time to take her back to her cousin’s house.  

            “Princess, time to go,” I whispered into her mind.

            She pushed a picture of her human form pouting with her lips fully poked out and her arms crossed over her chest.  I cracked up laughing.  Being in wolf form it came out as a jittery bark.  She snorted at me and turned tail to run.  When will she ever learn?  That derriere is going to be the freaking death of me.  I was entranced by the sway of her tail as she strutted through the woods and back towards my bike.

            After about seven minutes, I couldn’t take any more.  I thought that it was only fair to warn her.

            “Princess?” I called out and it sounded more like a hungry growl.

            She must have picked up on the direction of my thoughts because she froze and planted her butt firmly on the ground.  Turning her head back she glanced at me and waited.  

            “Hurry up and get your horny tail in front of me,” she snapped.

            I smiled a cheesy wolfy grin and trotted on in front of her.  I heard her foot steps following in behind and you couldn’t have wiped the grin off of my face it you wanted to.  My little spit fire was showing some spark and that was a trait that I could fully appreciate.

            We finally broke through the tree line to where we had originally left our clothing in the grass.  Without a word we both changed back to our human forms and hurriedly dressed.  I turned around and pulled my little mate against me.  Her back was flush to my chest and I just reveled in the feel of her soft skin against mine.  I heard her breath escape her lips and let my hands tenderly caress her hips.  I leaned down and placed a kiss on top of her head.  Knowing that we should leave, I regrettably stepped away from her and grabbed her hand.

            “Come on, Princess.  Let’s go see those nuts you call family,” I said with a slight chuckle at the end of the sentence.

            “Ow,” I yelped and rubbed my arm where my little spit fire just smacked the crap out of me.  “What was that for?” I asked while getting her coat and helmet ready to put on her.

            “Just because,” she sulked.

            “Well, you’ve said yourself that those two females are not always sane,” I grumbled.  Amy smiled that magical smile at me as I slipped the coat on her waiting arms and zipped her up tightly.

            “True,” she said.  “Anyhow, I’m sure that you will do something before this day is out to deserve the pop that I gave you,” she said mischievously and I shook my head while pushing her helmet on her head.  I put my own helmet on and straddled my bike.  I waited for my mate to straddle behind me and wrap her arms comfortably around my waist.  This was the life, I grinned as I kick started my bike and headed back down the road that we came.

            I steered the bike up Tabby’s drive and was surprised that both girls were standing in the middle of the yard.  They had a boom box blaring and were dressed in daisy dukes and halter tops.  I know that they aren’t expecting my mate to skimp around like that in the front yard.  She hopped off the back of the bike and I helped her remove the helmet and jacket.  She pecked my cheek and started to run to the girls.

            “Hey,” I bellowed.  “Is that all I get?” I cried incredulously.  She cocked her hands on her hips and lifted her brows. 

            “I thought you had plenty today, mister,” she called out taunting me.

            “Hmph,” I grumbled as I stalked towards her.  “That’s what you get for thinking.  I can never get enough of you,” I said while gripping her by her hips and pulling her close to me.

            “So you say,” she whispered as her little tongue flicked out and rubbed against her lips.  Damn, damn, damn.  She knows just how to get to me every single time.

            I blew out a slow breath.  “Oh, I definitely say,” I whispered back as I slanted my mouth over her lips and took my fill.  Her taste was always the same.  Sweet ambrosia made of the richest nectar.  I slipped my tongue into her mouth and coaxed the sweetest moan from her.

            “Cut it, love birds,” I heard Liza call out, interrupting our kiss.  I groaned in frustration.  Regrettably I pulled away from her mouth and sighed.  I brushed one more soft kiss against her lips and then released her.

            “Better?” she asked.

            “Much,” I answered and watched her as she turned and headed toward her two cousins.

            I headed towards my bike and slipped my helmet on.  Before I kick started my bike I looked back at the three girls prancing around in the yard.  Oh. My. God.  She was shaking those hips again and my wolf howled in appreciation.  They were chanting a song that had my mouth salivating.

            “My booty, my booty, my booooty.  My booty, My booty, my booooty. I shake my booty, booty, booty on you”.  All three girls collapsed in laughter on the grass.

            “What the hell was that?” I called out.

            “Our booty dance,” Liza called out.

            Lifting my brow and narrowing my gaze on Amy I repeated, “Booty dance?”

            My little mate sat up and looked me dead in the eye, “You like?”

            “Um, yea.  I most definitely like,” I growled. 

            “Good,” she hollered.  “Now go home and think about it.  I’ll call you later,” and then she blew me a kiss as a dismissal.  I shook my head and straddled my bike like any good male would do and did exactly what my femme wolf asked.  I went home and thought thought long and hard about that little booty dance.
