Chapter 8 (Steven)

    I watched my blue eyed beauty walk down the hall toward her class.  Forty five minutes.  That’s how long it would be until I could see her again.  Smell her again.  Touch her again.  I lifted my hand and touched my swollen lips where she had kissed me.  My lips curled up in a smile at the memory.  I am so freaking whipped. 

            With a smile on my face I turned around and headed for my Calculus class.  I might as well make an appearance today since I wasn’t there yesterday.

            I walked into the room and glanced around.  There was a pretty blond sitting in the back filing her nails.  She was one of the girls that I had spotted with Amy yesterday.  If she’s a good friend of Amy’s then maybe she could tell me more about my little mate.

            I casually wound my way through the different groups of students and plopped down in the empty seat beside of her.  I dropped my notebook on my desk with a thud and turned in my seat so that I was facing her.  I watched her for a second waiting for her to acknowledge me but her attention stayed focused on those dang nails of hers.

            I cleared my throat and faked a little cough hoping to get her attention.  Her eyes flitted up to me for a minute second before she quickly turned them back down to her nails.

            I rolled my eyes.  “Women,” I muttered to myself.  Still watching her I thought I may have caught a hint of a smile from her.  Okay, so maybe she wasn’t totally ignoring me.  I was just about to ask her name when another girl that I had never seen before walked up to me and parked on my desk. 

            I guess the girl was kind of pretty in a trashy hoe type of way.   If that is the look that some men want then more power to them; definitely not my type.  My type has blonde hair, deep blue eyes that I get lost in and an ass with enough sway to drive me insane. 

            This girl in front of me had on a jean skirt that was three sizes too small and a white see-through tank top cut so low that it showed way too much cleavage for my personal taste.  Too much make up and hair teased to the max.  Can we all say skank?

            “Hello there stranger.  I don’t think that I’ve had the pleasure to meet you,” she said in a voice that carried too much of a whiney pitch for my sensitive ears.

            I glanced over to Amy’s friend and noticed that she was no longer filing her nails.  Nope, her full attention was now on me and the slut who had made herself a little too comfortable sitting on my desk.  Good friend, I thought to myself. 

            I stayed quiet hoping maybe if I ignored the little problem sitting on my desk then it would get the message and walk away.  Fat chance on that one.  She turned around and placed one leg on either side of me with her goodies sitting in front of me.  I brought my hands to my face and covered my eyes.  If she only knew how sensitive my sense of smell was she would not be in that position.

            “My name is Victoria, I didn’t catch yours?” she replied in that annoying ass voice again.  

            Still holding my hand over my nose I mumbled, “That’s probably because I never threw it at you.”

            I heard a snicker coming from beside me and glanced over to see Amy’s friend trying to stifle her giggles.  The slut sitting on my desk tossed her a look that was meant to intimidate, but I don’t see how anyone could be intimidated by this little wench in front of me. 

            The girl in front of me reached out to grab my hand.  I’m sure of what could only be a look of horror came across my face because Amy’s little friend was now laughing hysterically.  I pulled my hands back and tucked them under my arms so this slut couldn’t touch them.

            “Hey.  Don’t be scared.  I was just going to give you my number,” she whined.

            I raised my brows at her and vehemently shook my head.

            “Not interested,” I said a little too loudly.  Half the class turned around and was now watching us.  I looked back at her and repeated in a softer voice.  “Definitely not interested.”

            The girl stared at me with her mouth gaped open like a fish which was quite fitting considering how she smells.  High pitched laughter escaped her lips causing me to flinch back away from her.

            “Aw, poor baby.  Are you a bashful one?” She said while she placed both of her cold hands on my cheeks.  Oh hell no.  This isn’t going to happen.  I abruptly stood up and jerked out of her grip.

            “Look, I told you I am not interested.  I am happily involved with someone.  Now please remove yourself from my desk and find someone else to hit on.”

            She sat there just staring at me in disbelief for several seconds before she finally hopped down.  She turned to walk away and stopped after about two steps.  She looked back over her shoulder and called out, “Your loss, Sugar.” She continued to walk down the aisle and settled in with another group of boys.

            I let out the deep breath I had been holding and slumped back in my seat.  “Not exactly a loss but most definitely my gain,” I muttered to myself.  I heard a quiet laughter coming from beside me and glanced over to Amy’s friend. 

            She looked up at me curiously.  “Good Job,” she said.

            “Huh?” I asked.

            She repeated, “Good job on handling Miss Easy A”

            I scrunched up my brow “Easy A?  What’s that supposed to mean?”

            She smiled a good genuine smile.  “Easy ass.  By the way I’m Liza, Amy’s cousin.”

            I returned her smile and held out my hand.  “Steven, I’m her ma- uh, boyfriend.”

            Her laughter erupted as she shook my hand.  “I know who you are lover boy.  I think I am going to like you.”

            “Yeah,” I replied with a smile.  “I think I am going to like you too.”

            An older lady with graying hair tied up neatly into a bun walked purposefully into the room, interrupting our little conversation.

            “Alright ladies and gentleman, turn your books to page 29 and we’ll get started.”  Liza and I shot at a quick look at each other and groaned in unison. 

            “Great minds think alike,” I whispered to Liza and heard her low chuckle while turning my attention to the front of the room.  I glanced up the clock and sighed.  Only 38 minutes until I can see my blue eyed beauty.

            The bell finally rang and all of the students shot out of the classroom at once.  I held back to walk with Liza.  She had mentioned that she had the same lunch period with Amy and I.  My wolf was growling to get out the door, but I was determined to be patient.  I didn’t want her to think that I was smothering her.  I stood by the desk tapping my foot while Liza placed her things in her book bag.  She glanced at my foot and then turned her gaze up to me.

            “Anxious are we?” She asked with a hint of laughter in her voice.  I stilled and looked at my foot before meeting her gaze.

            Shrugging my shoulder and sporting a shy smile I confessed, “Guilty as charged.”  Liza swung her bag over her shoulder and tugged at my hand.

            “Come on lover boy, let’s get you to your mate before you start having withdrawals on me,” she said in a teasing tone as we walked out of the room.

            We walked into the cafeteria and there she was.  I didn’t see anyone else in the room except my beautiful blue eyed beauty.  She smiled at me and I swear my heart sped up about ten beats.  Liza was still pulling me along until I stood in front of her.  I couldn’t say anything, not a single word.  Instead I leaned in and brushed a kiss across her rosy red lips.  So sweet. Another kiss, so precious. Just one more kiss, so soft.

            “Alright guys, if you two are going to go there then get a room please,” Liza broke in.     

            I took a step back but didn’t release her hand.  I couldn’t let go of it if I wanted to.  I needed to hold on to that connection to her.  I needed to feel the silkiness of her flesh.  Wow, I am so addicted.

            Amy spoke up, “So, I see you met my cousin, Liza.”

            I smiled down at her, “Yeah, we had fun in Calculus together.”

            Liza story, “Yeah, that’s a long story that I will have to tell you about later.  Don’t worry though, lover boy passed the test with flying colors,” she smiled back at me.

            My pocket vibrated signaling I had a text.  I let go of Amy’s hand so that I could pull the phone out of my pocket.  Opening it I sent a reassuring smile to my blue eyed beauty. 

            “It’s from Mama,” I muttered.

            Spoke with Alpha Martin, everything is OK.  Dinner at their house tonight at 7:00 XXX OOO

            I did a quick fist pump and exclaimed “Yes!” excitedly.

            Both Amy and Liza gave me peculiar looks.  I picked up Amy and spun her around in circles earning me the harmonious sound of her laugher. 

            I mentally pushed into her mind, “Mama did it.  She talked to your dad and said they worked it all out.  We’re going to dinner at your house tonight.”  Her smile grew even wider and she looked so adorable.  I couldn’t stop myself.  I kissed her again, and damn anyone who is watching.  I just wanted to taste my mate.  She joined me with eager anticipation.  I slipped my tongue into her mouth and savored the taste.  I would never get enough of this. I pushed into her mind again, “I could spend the rest of my life kissing you, Princess.” 

            I was met with silence while her tongue sinuously stroked mine.  Then her angelic voice entered my mind, “Why don’t you just do that that then. Kiss me forever.”  My chest rumbled with pleasure.

            Another unfamiliar voice interrupted us once again.  “Come on guys, are you going to eat some food or just snack on each other?”

            We both broke apart laughing.  She has such a beautiful smile I thought to myself.  I can’t believe that she is mine, all mine.

            She looked so perfect with that twinkle in her eyes and those kissed swollen lips.  Her cheeks were flushed from the desire that I stirred inside of her.

            “Um,” she said interrupting my thoughts, “Steven, this is my other cousin, Tabitha, but we call her Tabby.”

            I reached for Amy’s hand once again.  I held out my other hand to Tabby and replied, “Nice to meet you Tabby.”

            She shook my hand and lifted her brows. “Oooh, cute, and a perfect gentleman.  You always get the best luck,” she said while smiling at Amy.

            Amy tucked herself closer to me and I wrapped my arm around her shoulder.

            “Yeah, and he is all mine, Tabby,” she said with a possessive tone in her voice.

            I liked that.  She called me hers.

            I turned her to me and cupped her cheek with the palm of my hand. “Yes Princess, I am most definitely all yours.”
