her out, she took his arm and he pulled her out quickly. When she was out and stable he backed away from her, wiping his hands on his pants. He pointed in the direction of Blake’s house. “Alpha house is that way, I’ll follow you.”
When she took his arm she felt a zing of awareness rush up her arm and to all her key girly parts. Her core clenched as her nipples pebbled anticipating more touching. Not gonna happen stupid body, tone it down. She rubbed the goose bumps on her arms and watched as Justin attempted to rub his palms off from having to touch her. Was she that bad? A moment ago he was trying to get into her pants, right?
She thought about feeling his toned body, running her hand over his sculpted chest. Did he work in the sun? Why did she care anyways? Men were trouble, a trouble she didn’t want or need. Something she hadn’t thought about since Tidus.
His voice had sounded rough and broken as he pointed the way to alpha house. Walking to alpha house with Justin hovering in the background was causing her hormones to take a leap to the front of her mind. Why did he have to be so nice, not to mention handsome? It didn’t matter, she wasn’t interested.
Halfway there she looked back to find him watching his feet while he followed at a safe non-threatening distance. Hit with a sudden bout of shame she couldn’t resist saying, “I’m sorry for being a bitch. I didn’t mean it. I-“
He cut her off. “Don’t worry about it. It’s over and we both know where we stand now.”
Stopping abruptly she hung her head forward and inhaled the scent from his shirt. Is that frosting? She was confused, sure she’d smelled him before, but in no way shape or form did she link the scent to him. She just thought he smelled sweet. She inhaled deeply and smiled. Maybe that’s why Carter couldn’t stop talking about him, he smelled like dessert.
She giggled to herself, wanting to see if he tasted as good as he smelled. Wait, no I don’t, bad kitty. Well, she did, but she wasn’t about to admit she lusted after him. He probably already knew because her scent didn’t lie. He was keeping a good distance from her, maybe he didn’t notice.
Lost in thought, Justin was hit with the scent of arousal coming off Dee. He looked up expecting to find her with someone else. Looking around he only saw her, wait…is she sniffing my shirt? What did that mean? He waited to see what she’d do.
Her voice was soft, hesitant. “My name is Dee Marie Malone and I’m originally from the wilds of Alaska. We had no pack, but knew all of the surrounding animals and shifters. My parents had me and then tried to have more kids, but my brother and sister died at birth. They were twins and mom never could face having anymore after that. After I got pregnant, I followed his father to this pack, we never formally mated and shortly after we moved here I realized he wasn’t what I wanted. We split and I took Carter.” She turned to him with a shimmer of tears in her eyes, “Is that enough for now? I don’t like to share much about myself, I’ve made some really bad choices in life and I’m trying to be a better person.”
Taken aback at her honesty, he approached slowly, ensuring that she knew he wasn’t pushing. He was a foot away from her holding his arms out in welcome when she came into his arms and buried her face in his chest. He felt her breath against his chest and actually got chills.
“Why do you smell so good?”
“You smell good to me too.”
She pulled her head back and looked into his eyes. “You didn’t answer my question.”
Looking into her amber eyes that appeared to be more green than brown toned he fell a little bit more in love with her. “Do you want the truth?”
She gave the slightest nod.
“You have to promise not to freak out, or run away, or push me away.”
Another nod.
She buried her face back in his chest as if she knew what was coming. His head moved as he breathed deeply of her
