Okay maybe now it was.
Was it going to happen now?
It was still daylight outside. I thought we had to wait until the moon rises? When it’s at its highest, that was the perfect time for us to mate.
“Hey”. He whispered.
My eyes locked with his.
“Breathe baby”. He brought his hand up, cupping my cheek. “It’s me and you remember. This is what we’ve been waiting for”.
Now I was more than a little bit nervous. It felt like my heart was going to burst out of my chest. But he was right. It was always going to be him and I. We were made for each other.
“Are you okay?”.
“I’m nervous”. There was no point in trying to hide it and he could probably already tell. I broke our stare and put some distance between us. I didn’t want to be nervous, but I couldn’t help how I felt.
“Do you want to talk about it?”.
“No”. I wasn’t going to sit down and talk about how nervous I was about having sex with him. How embarrassing would that be. I could feel my cheeks going red at the thought of it.
“There’s still a few hours of daylight left. Do you want to go for a walk?”.
I wanted to bury my head in the sand with how embarrassed I felt. I shouldn’t still feel nervous around him. I mean we hadn’t had sex, but we had come close to doing other things.
“Babe, a walk?”.
“I want to see you naked”. I blurted out.
“Babe?”.
A laugh fell from my lips. “I’m trying to get rid of my nerves”.
“I’m nervous”. He was in front of me before I could blink. “Does that mean I get to see you naked too?”.
“Maybe”. I grinned.
He chuckled. “You’ve nothing to be nervous about”. He took my hand in his. “Let’s go for a walk”.
..
Hand in hand we walked around the area. It was beautiful, all open space, well taken care of. Days in the summer here would be amazing.
“Do your parents own the land?”. I asked.
“It’s been in our family for years”.
“So that’s a yes?”. I grinned.
“My parents worked hard to give my sisters and I the best life. I take nothing for granted”. His thumb brushed over my hand. “I’ll never forgive myself for what I put you through at the start, but I will spend the rest of our life making sure you are happy”.
“Can I ask why you did?”.
He shrugged.
“Gotta give me something better than a shrug”. I repeated his words from earlier.
He laughed. “The attention from other girls. The believing I can and could get away with it. The power trip”.
The area where the cabin was based was huge, and I wasn’t even sure we had covered half of it. My feet were becoming sore, and I was getting hungry, and I was thirsty. That aside I was glad of the time we were getting alone.
We barely got to share moments like this. Jake was either too busy with the pack or someone was always hanging about our house. We had the odd date night and of course bedtime but this was different. We had nothing on our mind but each other.
No phones, no friends. It was becoming a perfect day.
“I have a few demands”. I said breaking the silence.
“Demands princess?”. He smirked.
“Yes, for when we’re mated”.
“I’m listening”.
“More date nights, no secrets and we never got to bed angry with each other”.
“So, no makeup sex?”.
I blushed.
“We never go to sleep angry then”. I corrected myself.
“Nice save”. He smirked. “Are you hungry?”.
“I’m always hungry”.
“Let’s go get some dinner and I’ll light the fire out back”.
