The Alpha's Mate {Book One of the BTS Wolf Pack Shifter Series}

Chapter 4: Namjoon

She was perfect. She was smart, witty, kind, compassionate, feisty, and flirty. She listened, really listened. She was everything he'd ever wanted. When she suggested to drive him home he couldn't help but feel that it was because she didn't want to be away from him. Namjoon tried to calm himself and his wolf.

He directed her to the pack house. They engaged in light conversation and tried to avoid the palpable sexual tension between them. Namjoon was resisting the urge to grab her thigh and squeeze it gently. He held himself back not trying to be pushy or presumptuous.

When they finally pulled up to the gate to the house, Namjoon got out and punched in the code and the gate swung open. He hopped back in the car and they drove down the lane the gate shutting behind them. She gasped when she finally got a glimpse of the pack house. It was huge mansion. It was big enough for them to grow as they needed to. She slowly parked the car still gaping at the house.

"You live here?" She asked stunned.

"Yes with my brothers." He answered smiling.

"Oh so you're loaded... Jesus..." she said as she got out of the car.

"Would you like to come in?" He asked softly.

She looked at him with an expression that read doubt and a little bit of reservation. There was also something else burning behind her eyes that he didn't quite know how to grasp. He smiled warmly at her.

"You don't have to." He said kindly.

"No I want to." She said quickly, "I just don't want to seem... well..."

"Seem what?" He asked genuinely concerned.

"Like I'm easy or something..." she said quietly looking at the ground.

"Rose, I don't think you're easy. I would love to spend as much time with you as you let me. I don't know how to explain it. But I feel like there is a genuine connection here. I want to explore that further. If you want to..." Namjoon explained softly.

"I want to. I feel that too. I'll go in." She said with a little more confidence.

Namjoon extended his hand and she took it. The connection sent a thrill through her and him. He loved the way she responded to his advances. The way her breath hitched and her body shivered in excitement. Earlier he'd caught the sent of her arousal and nearly took her there in the library. He'd forced himself out the door.

They entered the large wooden door into a grand foyer. She gasped and looked around in awe. She was so cute. He couldn't help but melt a little looking at her.

"Wow." She said then looking at him.

She blushed and looked away.

"What?" He asked bring her face to look at him.

"The way you were looking at me... It was so soft. No one has looked at me like that before." She said her eyes sad.

"I see." He said caressing her cheek.

"Hyung? Are you home?" Came the voice of Park Jimin.

"Yes Jimin! I'm home." He answered.

Jimin appeared and greeted him with a small smile. That smile turned into a big grin when he saw Rose's face in his hands. Namjoon released her and she blushed furiously.

"Jimin, this is Rose. Rose, this is Jimin." Namjoon said making introductions.

"Pleasure to meet you, Jimin." Rose said extending a hand.

"Pleasures all mine." Jimin said with a flirty smirk.

Namjoon made a small growl. Jimin smirked at him and held his hands up in surrender.
