Try Me

Chapter 22

Willow's POV

Today was Valentine's day and the humans in the nearby town were all excited for it. Many complained that the Solaris bar wasn't going to be open though since we had a very large threat on our doorstep. Another temple recently had issues, a full on blood bath between Virs and Bestias. They were just North of us. As a precaution, we have a couple of our wolves keeping the peace inside the house where our guests are staying.

Today I slipped out of the room while Jacey slept. He was exhausted after pulling an all night patrol. He had only been asleep for maybe two hours. I decided to go out and get him something. I took his Jeep to town and went to his favorite store that sold homemade jerky. He especially loved their spicy jerky that they made.

"Good morning Mrs. Solaris," the shop owner, Wendy, greeted. I smiled, "Good morning Wendy."

"Is the other Mrs. Solaris putting in an order," she asked curiously. I shook my head, "Nope. Since it's Valentine's Day I wanted to pick some jerky up for Jacey."

She nodded as she smiled, "I see."

I picked out a few of his favorites then left to do some more shopping.

I had picked him up some various things then stopped to buy him some white roses. I know it wasn't normal for guys to receive flowers but we weren't exactly normal so it's okay.

A woman with brown hair with blonde highlights was also inside browsing the floral shop as the woman behind the counter put together a bouquet. She gave me a smile, "How can I help you?"

"I need a bouquet of white roses," I told her. "For someone special," she asked sweetly. I nodded, "For my husband."

"You're buying your husband flowers," the other woman asked me look of disgust. I looked at her, "That is what I said." "Wives shouldn't be buying their husbands flowers," she sneered. "That's his job to buy them for you."

I rolled my eyes, "Ok boomer." That just slipped. I've been listening to too many of the human patrons, kill me now. Her jaw dropped, "Excuse me?"

"My husband supports and cares for me, he deserves things like flowers and such on Valentine's Day," I told her. "Even then, me buying my husband flowers is none of your damn business."

I was tired of everyone being so damn judgemental. It was something both humans and my kind were guilty of. So what if someone's base form is a human, they still turn into animals. On a molecular level Virs and Bestias are the same and its pathetic most ignore that.

After getting the flowers and a vase, I went home. I put them on the kitchen counter in our cave with the gifts I bought for Jacey before leaving the room to go check on the orphaned pups.

Jacey's POV

I woke up to the sound of the shower running. I peeked open an eye and saw roses on the counter. I shifted and put on my boxers before going over to look at them. I had a slight peak of jealousy when I began to think someone else had given my mate flowers, until I saw the card attached to the ribbon that was around the vase. Happy Valentine's Day handsome Love Willow.

I smiled softly at the note then looked at the items on the counter. I snagged the bag of jerky when I saw it. I had just put a piece of it into my mouth when Willow came out of the bathroom, naked, towel drying her hair. I began to choke on the jerky. She laughed softly as I grabbed a water bottle to clear my throat.

She was walking past me and I caught a change in her scent, and I froze, heart in my throat. She noticed my stiffness as she grabbed a shirt, "You okay handsome?" "Your scent, it's changed," I told her. She gave me a slight look of confusion, "What are you talking about?"

"I mean exactly that, your scent has changed," I said to her. "Have you had your cycle since you came out of your heat." She froze midway as she was putting the shirt on. She yanked it the rest of the way on as she looked at me slightly wide eyed, "I haven't. With everything that's happened, I haven't paid attention to that."

She headed back towards the bathroom, "Awhile ago I had bought a test just in case." She seemed so incredibly nervous, that I couldn't help it as I pulled her to me. I pressed my lips to her forehead, "Whatever the results are, it's okay." I felt some of the tension leave her body. She nodded, "You're right."

She then went into the bathroom and I waited in the kitchen. I pushed all thoughts to the back of my mind as I waited. These couple of minutes felt like the longest minutes of my life.

When I heard the doorknob turn, I held my breath in anticipation. She opened the door, holding up the stick, a bright smile on her face, "I'm pregnant."

I felt so much joy consume me as I walked up to her, kissing her deeply. She moaned softly as my tongue entered her mouth. When we pulled away, we rested our foreheads against each other as we smiled in happiness. "I love you so much," I said to her. "I love you too," she said.

I was excited to tell my family the good news but since it was Valentine's Day I knew a few were off with someone so they weren't alone this holiday. Since they were all busy, I decided to take this chance to celebrate with my mate privately before we shared the news with everyone else.

I picked her up, her legs going around my waist. This was the world's greatest Valentine's day gift in my opinion. I carried her to the bed, my lips on hers. Her fingers were in my hair as she returned the kiss. I laid her on the bed and began trailing kisses down her neck as my hands pushed up the shirt she had just put on. I removed the shirt and continued kissing down her body, leaving opened mouth kisses all over her body. She moaned with each one, the sound was music to my ears.

When I settled myself between her legs, I held her hips down as I began to enjoy the sweet taste of my mate. As I pulled more and more orgasms from her, the more she shook as her moans turned to screams of pleasure. I was an insatiable beast when it came to her. Her whole body trembled as I finally came up and removed my underwear before laying between her legs once more. I entered her slowly, enjoying the feel of her. She scratched up my back as I began to thrust into her. She arched into me, her hips meeting my thrusts. She was just as insatiable as I was and I enjoyed it. We weren't going to be leaving our bed any time soon. I planned on ensuring she wasn't going to be able to move for a while once I was finished with her.
