Madison slowly turned around and found gawking expressions on her friends' faces."What the hell just happened?" Alex's voice reached over the sound of the band playing their next song.Madison shrugged. She had no explanation or reasoning to give them. All she knew is she had to search for Jacob and find out the answer to the question Alex just asked her. She quickly turned the way Jacob had gone and ignored Alex's questions, the dirty stares she was receiving from kids she bumped into on her way to get out of the room, and the killer looks she received as she passed Brindle and her cronies.As soon as Madison made it out to the sidewalk, she saw Jacob walking at a hurried pace farther down by the parking lot. "Jacob," she yelled out, hoping he would stop. She had no clue what she was going to say to him, but something deep inside of her said there was more to this whole charade he put on than what he let others believe.Jacob heard her voice ring out in

Zach's face dipped lower to Em's. She wasn't backing away, so that was a good thing. The softness of her lips overwhelmed him as he tasted her for the first time. His inner wolf pushed him to go further, but Zach knew if he did, it would scare her off permanently. He slowly opened his mouth to see what kind of response he would get and was surprised when she did the same. His tongue danced around with hers in a display of seduction. He groaned as she slowly let her arms fall from around his neck down the length of his chest and abdomen. It was kind of exciting to see she had a little experience in this department, but it angered his wolf to know someone else had put their mouth and hands on what he claimed to be his.Zach slowly pulled back and leaned his forehead against hers. He felt like his heart was going to beat out of his chest, and he could hear her breathing was as labored as his from the wild moment they just had. "I better get going." He'd finally caught his breath

The weekend went by quickly with Zach spending as much time with Emily as possible. As per request by her aunt, Danny and Alex were with them with whatever they did. They all spent most of their time outdoors, so they weren't stuck in each other's homes. The park had become their second home over the weekend. Madison was a no-show on both days, and Jacob was rarely around the house when Zach did go home. The pack was still on patrol even though no sightings had occurred. Their father was supposedly calling for another meeting, which signified more members at the house and hopefully another way to bring down the vampire and clan that had ruined his whole family.Weeks passed without any incident. The pack meeting went by with no new information or leads available to or from the younger members who were always on watch. Zach could tell his father was becoming more irate with the whole Orfeo and dhampir drama, for which they never got any headway. A trail by their best tracker w

"So, did you get any with all your fancy attire last night?" Jacob was helping Zach set up for everyone coming over for the movie fest tonight."Wasn't looking to." Zach's mind wandered back to the previous night after he and Emily had left for ice cream. Yeah, there was ice cream involved, but there was also a lot of other sweet non-food stuff happening. He found out she wasn't ready to go any further than they'd done previously, which was cool with him. She came straight out and told him she was a virgin, and of course, that made him and his wolf even more excited. Not because she was a virgin, but because it meant no one else, as in a wolf, had laid claim to her. If, no, when it got to that point in their relationship, Zach wanted her to be sure she was ready to commit with body, mind, and soul. It was the way of the wolf, and when they found their mate, like Zach had done, there was no other."Bullshit." Jacob threw the pillow at him. "We're all looking to get some

"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
