His Luna [SasuKarin Werewolf AU]

Chapter Sixteen

Sasuke
"This was absolutely the best night of my life, Sasuke. I wouldn't change anything about it. Thank you so much," she said. Her words said one thing, but her voice said another. Momentarily, joy flooded my body, knowing that she enjoyed her time with me. But that was quickly replaced with doubt. Was she worried that this would all go away once we had answers?

"I guess I should probably go..." she started, but I wasn't going to let her finish. I grabbed her chin and brought her face to mine, finally bringing my lips to hers. I had been thinking about this all night but couldn't find the right moment. I held still for a moment, just enjoying the feel of her sweet, pouty lips on mine.

I moved my hand to her waist, sliding it to the small of her back so I could pull her closer. I moved my hand from her chin, around to the back of her head, entangling my fingers in her silky locks. I deepened the kiss, wanting to show her that I was falling in love with her. Our lips moved against each other sensually, and she never pulled away. The sweetest little moan escaped her lips as we kissed, and the sound went straight to my groin. I knew I would have to stop kissing her, or I wouldn't be able to control myself.

We finally broke apart; I rested my forehead against hers, trying to catch my breath. I could see her lips already looking redder and swollen, which excited me even more.

I didn't want to leave her but knew that I couldn't stay; that would be far too fast for us. Slow down. Keep this at her pace.

"Wow," she whispered, breaking me from my errant thoughts. I smiled at her.

"Tonight was incredible. Thank you for allowing me to spend it with you, Karin. I hope I made your first date a good one," I told her as I pulled my head away from hers. For good measure, I leaned in and kissed the top of her hair. I told her, "Good night," before turning to leave.

I walked back across the yard of the Inn, and I could feel her eyes on me the whole way. A smug smirk graced my lips as I thought about the events of the evening. I think I was getting her to fall for me. And I wasn't going to stop until we were mated.

As I got back to my car, my heart began to ache a little. Leaving her was getting harder and harder, and my wolf was getting more restless. The more time we spent together without mating, the harder it would be to control the urge.

"You shouldn't be leaving Mate," Jak butted in inside my head.

"We can't just stay. She didn't even ask us to!" I argued back, and I climbed into my car.

"But mate isn't safe without us!"

"I want to be with her just as much as you, but we both know nothing is going to happen here in human territory. There hasn't been any wolf smell around here except the old man all day!"

"But she has no wolf to protect her! It's our job to protect her!"

"Could you just stop already? I want to be with her too! We have to be patient!"

I blocked him from my thoughts as I pulled my keys out of my pocket. Before I could start my SUV, my phone rang. I pulled it out of my pocket. After checking the number, I didn't recognize it but decided to answer anyway.

"Hello?" I said into the phone.

"Um, hi, Sasuke?" a small, sweet voice said.

"Karin? Is that you?"

"Uh, yea. I was just...."

"What is it?" I asked gently.

"Well, I was....I was sort of wondering.... Have you left yet?" My heart began to race.

"No, I was just about to pull out of the lot. Why? Did something happen?"

"Well, kind of.... I don't know.... It's silly...."
