(Book 2)- Chapter 36
Rosalie
After a long, long sleep, I’m talking for twelve hours. Jack is still next to me but working on his laptop with his computer and his reading glasses. Once I told him it was easier on his eyes to block out any blue light, he started wearing them. Even though Jack is a Werewolf, it had to help just a little. However, I think he is just humoring me.
Jack looked delectable with them on. Like a real top-notch CEO that would bend me over his desk. I’ve never had an eye for a man before, let alone thinking about s*x. I was too busy running and thinking they could be nothing but trouble after Derek, which was a shame. Even so, no one looked as scrumptious as Jack Storm. I don’t know how I deserved to be with this hunk of a man.
He hasn’t left my side since I came back. I was comforted that he would want to stay with me, but I knew he had to get back to work. When I was gone, he said he stayed in his office and threw stuff, not really working on anything, and poor Keith had been in charge for well over a week and needed a break. My neck had healed up quite a bit last night, just a few scratches that might leave a tiny scar but nothing what I currently had on me.
“Jack? Why don’t you go work in your office for a little? I’m fine, really. I can go find Amanda and help her with the Halloween party.” Jack let out a gruff as he finished his sentence on the keyboard.
“I don’t want to leave you,” he pouted and began typing again. I sat up on my knees and rubbed his shoulders. He sighed and leaned his head back to give me a k**s. Our little pecks became smiles and nose rubbing.
“I will be on the territory at all times. I’ll make sure you know where I am, alright? I’ll take the phone. It has a GPS tracker on it. I could even have Amanda bring Tyson! I haven’t talked to him much.”
“Ha, he doesn’t talk to anybody but Amanda. He’s a grumpy one.”
“Is that a yes?” I drawled out my words. Jack leaned his head on the back of the headboard. He grunted a few times, probably talking to Sampson.
“Tell Sampson he can k**s more tonight,” I said in a sing-song voice.
“That’s not fair. When is my time?” Jack huffed.
“OK, extra things tonight for you,” I wiggled my eyebrows. Jack gave me that smirk and closed his laptop while he kissed me hard. He brought me up to straddle his waist, and I ran my fingers through his long hair. His hair was so sexy. I loved it when he wore it down. It made him look so rugged compared to the CEO man bun he sports in Alpha mode.
I tugged on his scalp a little, and his hands started to roam my waist down to my butt. His touches continue to leave fire sparks on my skin, and it makes my breath hitch as I feel it even down to my heat. Jack growled and pulled me away from the k**s.
“Oh, Kitten, we need to slow down. You are still recovering.” His breath was uneven and panting, as was I.
“We can play a little, right?” I played with the button on his collar and gave him some innocent eyes. What was wrong with me? I felt like a horny teenager which, I kind of missed growing up.
“Yes but… Goddess.” He pulled me in for another k**s.
Unbuttoning his shirt while he sucked on my bottom l*p, he lifted his oversized shirt that covered my body. His fingers brushed over my n*****s, and I slightly m****d, which fueled the fire because he pinned me under him.
Jack pushed me hard into the mattress, pushing his e******n right next to my core. He moved his h**s and rubbed up and down my thin panty. His pants were still on, so I started to unbuckle his pants. His breathing was becoming heavier, and his eyes began to fade to black. Sampson was trying to come out, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready.
“Jack?” I whispered, looking into his eyes. Jack blinked a few times, and his green eyes flutter back to me. He looked at me, confused.
“Y-your eyes. I think Sampson was trying to come out,” I said worriedly. Jack shook his head a few times.
“I’m sorry, Kitten. I am having a bit of a hard time controlling him.” Jack sat up on the bed and slung his legs over. I quickly got up and threw his shirt back on, and sat beside him. He had his head in both of his hands, leaning over.
“Jack, babe talk to me? What’s going on.” I rubbed his back and hopped in his lap while he laughed at me, amused.
“He really wants to mark you. He is just really overprotective right now.” Jack pulled a strand of hair from my face. “He-” Jack began to talk, but I interrupted him.
“I want you to mark me, Jack.” Jack looked confused, shocked. “I want you to mark me. As soon as the doctor says it’s OK, I want you to. You made me come alive again. In all of this crazy, messed-up world, there is no other heart for me than yours. No love could be comparable to what I have for you.” Jack pulled me closer to his chest, looking into my eyes.
“I will spend an eternity loving you, caring for you, pampering you, and making sweet love to you, baby. I don’t deserve you. The Moon Goddess blessed me with the perfect mate.” Jack’s nose came down and rubbed mine. Both of our eyes were closed as we just held each other.
As much as I loved Sampson, I knew he would be rough to deal with in bed. I needed Jack to make love to me the first time. The worry only dwindled as Jack continued to reassure me that Sampson would stay behind once the time came.
After a good hour of cuddling, Jack agreed to go get some work done. He trailed off to his office, and I went with Amanda. Tyson was unavailable; he was patrolling the border. The cameras that had been set up have been ruined by the large blast that some Witch used when they teleported out of the territory when I left. No one wanted to order any more cameras until I came back.
“So, what are we doing?” I asked Amanda. Amanda was pulling boxes and boxes out of the corner of the ballroom.
“We…” she started as she ripped one of them open, “are decorating!” A ton of pack members came out and started helping undo boxes and hanging up decorations. Everything had its place, and I wasn’t sure if I would be much help, but of course, Amanda gave me something.
“You need to pick out songs for the DJ. Many Wolves here don’t get out much, so we need new material for the pack DJ.”
“Pack DJ? Is that like some special position?” I laughed.
“It should be, but no, it’s not. The guy is a total man-whore, Wolf-whore that hasn’t found his mate. I swear his d**k craves attention 99% of the time,” Amanda rolled her eyes. “He can sniff out a woman in heat from almost a mile away because he is always the first to approach.” Amanda punched the box to break it down and tossed it aside.
“Heat? What is that?” That was a new term to me. I had no idea what she was talking about, not unless it meant the same thing for animals. Animals… Oh, wait.
“I keep forgetting to tell you this stuff,” Amanda mused as she pulled out some fake cobwebs.
I started waving my hands around. “What other stuff is there, Amanda? Dang Werewolves, Witches, Vampires, bondings, mates, good gracious, what else is there!?” My voice was becoming louder and louder with each thing I named off, and people started laughing. It was probably the most anyone had heard from me.
“Alright, alright, calm down.” She put my hands down and sat beside me next to the table. “It is just like for lower animals like Wolves, cats, deer that sort of thing. It is when your body is ready to mate and has a high probability of having pups. It happens with she-Wolves a lot. A lot of she-Wolves don’t get it until they meet their mate, but a couple of unlucky few get it. We have a shed on the territory that shields smells, and they stay in there up to 5 days trying to keep it at bay. Some, more, contemporary she-Wolves,” Amanda laughed, “use a stand-in, and some willing male takes care of them.” My eyes grew wide. “Don’t look like that. It helps with the heat. It isn’t called heat for nothing. It makes your body hot, the only way to calm it down is to o****m, and it feels so much better when someone else is helping.” My face turned the deepest red while I held my hands over my face.
Benjamin walked up and tsked. “What did you tell the poor virgin now?” He stuck his hand out on his h*p.
“Just about heat.” Benjamin moved his lips in a big, “O” form and started chuckling. “I heard it is awesome for the male and almost exhausting,” he mused.
“Just kill me, just kill me,” I muttered under my breath.
Benjamin took a seat beside me and put his arm around me. He was honestly like a big brother. We shared that intimate moment when we first met about our “parents,” if you could call them that. Ever since, I have felt such a connection to him.
“Now, I know I shouldn’t ask, Lee,” Benjamin gave me a look into my eyes as he looked down at me. “But I am just looking out for you.” Amanda’s eyes perked up, and she started listening. “Do you know what is involved with mating? Like really know?” My face flushed again with embarrassment. Amanda began to giggle hysterically while Benjamin stared her down; he was serious. Not at all like his usual demeanor.
“No, I’m serious. I know both of you are close, and I’m surprised you haven’t yet. I heard Sampson came out the other day; Keith pissed himself.”
“Yeah, I saw that. Why is that?” Benjamin took his arm back around and settled them on the table. He scratched the back of his head and put his eyes back at mine.
“Sampson is usually… usually… pretty tame. However, when he gets mad or sexually frustrated, which has only happened with you, by the way…” he smiled, and I smiled back. “He is unpredictable, like most Alphas. Jack has been having trouble ever since you went missing; Sampson is ready to mark you. I just need you to know what happens.”
I nodded my head. “I know we do… the thing… and then be bites me?” I whispered to him.
“So precious,” Amanda whispered and put her hands together like she was praying and laying on them. “Just like a doll.” Benjamin rolled his eyes and looked back at me.
“Amanda is no f*****g help. Anyway, yes, that will happen. Also, it means that his Wolf and you own each other in the body during mating, and when he bites you, then your souls will be connected.” My eyes grew wide.
“It is the most beautiful thing, Rosalie! You can hear each other through the mind-link that you have been interested in, and you will feel each other’s emotions so much better. It was the best night of my life!” Amanda swooned and twirled around dramatically and sat in the chair.
“Righttttt.” Benjamin mocked. “It is supposed to be amazing, it hurts for a few seconds, but that’s it. Then you do the ‘deed’ as you put it for the rest of the night, just because you can.” He laughed.
I put both of my hands to my face and tried to hide from embarrassment.
