"Does your mouth always water, and your eyes show hunger when something nauseates you?" Jacob was only about six inches away from her. He placed his hands on the wall so his arms were on either side of her. He looked her up and down and noticed her lips were trembling and her nipples were erect. This could be due to the coldness of the night air or the arousal of him being near her. She continued to stare at him without any comment. This had been the scenario with them for the past two months. The once outspoken and always had a rebuttal comment girl was replaced with one who wouldn't give him the time of day. It could only be resolved with one solution.
Madison beat on Jacob's chest for release as his lips claimed hers. He wasn't touching her with his hands, but the mere presence of his sumptuous mouth on hers made all resistance she felt break down and her knees weak. Instead of doing what the rational side of her mind told her to do, which was get out of the pool, she tugg
"Madison's your mate, isn't she?" Zach was certain about this matter as both Jacob and Madison showed the classic behavior signs of mates. Well, young mates that didn't know they were or maybe didn't want to be paired off with the destined person.Jacob removed the towel from his face. "No, she's not. It was all for fun." He sat up on the chair and grabbed his shorts on the deck. "Maybe if you and Emily wouldn't have given everyone an amateur porn show and I made Brindle leave, then I wouldn't have been so horny.""Bullshit, Jacob. You're both fighting the pull." Zach moved closer to his brother. "I don't know why we are all finding our mates now, Danny and Alex, me and Em, but just go with it. Quit trying to push her away. You're eventually going to lose her for good. You know it's not the right thing to do to your wolf or yourself.""I don't want her." Jacob felt his resistance breaking down. He didn't want to talk about this whole mate thing. He wanted everyt
The hunt was unsuccessful the previous night. The pack tried to pick up another scent or lead, but whoever was around the Lovell residence when Zach and Jacob were home with their friends had long disappeared.This afternoon they were all meeting over at Danny's house for football watching and some pizza from a shop in town. Zach picked up Emily and then the pizza. Jacob was going to shift and run over but decided he better take his Hayabusa. Will and Anthony were thankfully leaving Brindle and the crew at home for today's get-together. The room was all set by the time everyone got there and the boys, along with Emily and Alex, sat down to watch an afternoon of football.***"I can't believe you each ate a whole pizza." Emily looked at all five boys and was astonished each of them had put away sixteen slices in less than fifteen minutes. None of them showed any signs, as in weight problems, of overeating. They all had muscular legs, arms, and stomachs. She loved
"Oh my God, you're naked," Madison screamed out and covered her eyes with her hands. When she peeked out from under her fingers, he was gone.Did that seriously not happen?Madison looked around the field and saw it was empty.I'm going freakin' insane.Maybe it was the new herbs her grandmother told her to use, or perhaps it was from having Jacob in every other thought that crossed her mind since last night."Sorry if I scared you."The sound of Jacob's voice behind her made Madison jump up from her seated position."That was you, wasn't it?" Madison looked him up and down and was thankful he finally had clothes on. Not that she minded the free show, but it was kind of awkward to have a naked guy standing in front of her.Jacob nodded she was correct.Madison had no clue what to say next. Once again, Jacob left her speechless."Were you surprised?" Jacob sat down on the ground and motioned for her to sit
Jacob glanced at her from the corner of his eye and saw a look of panic written on her face.It's either she's scared I'm going to say her or afraid that I'm not.He slowly nodded his head."You."The expression on her face after his announcement went from nervousness to joy, then back to fright."Me." Madison pointed her finger at herself. "Um, how do you know?" She didn't understand all this mate shit he talked about.Jacob shrugged. "My wolf tells me you're the one. He can pick up on your scent wherever you're at. He can sense when you're happy, sad, angry. I don't know, Madison, it's just this feeling he and I have, and he says we're supposed to be with you."Madison sensed Jacob becoming frustrated with this whole notion of mates and all the finer details he didn't have the answers for. "And how do you feel about us being these so-called mates?"Jacob stared straight ahead, not looking at her. He didn't want to se
The realization of what happened and the consequences that could materialize smacked Jacob in the head like a two-ton boulder. He scrambled up to a sitting position and wrapped the blanket around Madison as he stood and quickly threw on his clothes.Madison began to get dressed as he finished putting on his shirt.Jacob grabbed her sweatshirt off the ground and pulled it down over her head in an attempt to help. She must have gotten the wrong indication from this action, as she slapped his hand away and pulled the shirt down without any assistance. Madison's whole demeanor had changed within ten seconds. She went from being gentle to picking up the rest of her belongings and slamming them in the bag she'd brought.Jacob pulled on her arm as she was about to toss another glass candle jar into the bag. "What's wrong?" Not only could he tell by her facial expression something was wrong, but his wolf had also picked on the negative vibe steaming from his mate.
"I really don't know." Jacob grabbed Madison's bag that held all her 'witchy' stuff and threw it over his shoulder. He interlaced his fingers with hers, and they started walking toward the lone trail that went back down to the parking area.Good thing it was all downhill from here. It was a good hike back, and it would probably be dark before they got back unless they jogged some of the way. But knowing Madison and her nonathletic abilities, that was so not going to happen."It was all different when Adam and Rose did their whole union." Jacob pulled Madison quickly along the trail. He knew the scent of Orfeo, the offspring, or whoever else might be tracking them was picked up in this area a couple of days ago. The last thing he needed was to run head-on into a group of vampires and have no back-up except for his mate, who was in no position to fight."Why was it so different?" Madison stumbled, but Jacob kept her on her feet. He was moving fast like he was pani
Zach saw Jacob come back late yesterday evening after everyone was done watching the football games. He'd gone straight to his room without saying a word to anyone. This morning he was up and out of the house before anyone else had a chance to speak to him."Where's your brother?" Zach's dad grumbled at him as he reached for his third cup of coffee. It had been a late night for the pack as they had several reports of vampires from their trackers who were out the previous night.Zach grabbed his backpack off the floor and hurried to the front door. He was late picking up Emily for school. "I haven't seen him. He came in yesterday evening, but I didn't get a chance to speak with him. Why?"His father waved him off. "I'll speak with him later." He went out the back patio doors as Zach exited via the front.***"So, where'd Jacob disappear to last night?" Danny questioned Zach as the whole group walked up from the parking lot at school.Za
It was halfway through the day and Jacob couldn't stand the feeling of not being with his mate any longer. He had watched her during lunch and seen she looked as miserable as he felt. Everyone kept asking her if she was all right or feeling ill, but Madison kept everyone at bay with her quick responses to what was wrong. She made up every excuse from test anxiety to just being tired.Jacob knew Brindle was working in the office this period. She liked to do volunteer work with the secretaries during her free period. She told him she wanted to help the little people of the school.Like who the hell did she think she was.He convinced her, which wasn't too difficult, that Mr. Abbott, their guidance counselor, needed to speak with Madison Bennet. He needed this office excuse so she would have a reason to get out of class.Brindle, who had more air in her head than brain cells, willingly obliged because she thought Madison was going to be reprimanded.
