I've Been Waiting For You

Chapter 93

"I want to thank everyone here for attending my party birthday. I hope you have a good time tonight."

Markus still held Mitchell's hand in his own, refusing to let him go. He needed everyone to take a good look at Mitchell, let it etch in their minds that he was unavailable. After his mom had invited Mitchell up here, he had been shocked when she had introduced Mitchell as her son-in-law. It had been totally unexpected.

"Mitchell, I'll be right back." Markus kissed him lightly on his mouth before he went inside.

He strode towards the door just as the doorbell rang. Valeria was standing there, holding a gift in her hands.

"I thought you weren't going to make it?" He gave her a genuine smile.

"I got held up at work." Valeria said putting a hand to her neck nervously.

"Why are you fidgeting? Am I making you uncomfortable?"

"No, it's just that your scent is very intoxicating."

Markus stepped aside. "Is it making you uncomfortable?"

"No, it's relaxing."

That was the first time he heard anyone saying his scent was relaxing.

"I'm really happy you could make it."

Valeria entered a little hesitantly, looking around in awe. "Your home is very beautiful."

"All thanks to my mom. Come on, let me introduce to my friends."

He led her outside where the younger guests were dancing and enjoying themselves. The older guests were sitting and talking among each other. Markus led her over to the table where Mitchell and the others were sitting. The group turned to look at them when they were in close proximity.

"Everyone, this is Valeria." Markus introduced her to everone before pulling out a chair for her to sit on.

Mitchell's gaze went to Valeria before settling on his face. "Where did you meet her?"

"That day I visited your mom's workplace. She was kind enough to show me around."

"How long have you worked with my mom?" Mitchell asked.

"I've been working there for a year now. I work on the same floor but in a different department."

After that, conversation flowed around the table. Markus put his hand on Mitchell's leg and started caressing his thigh. Turning his head, he bit his lower lip to stifle his laughter when Mitchell's leg bumped the table in surprise.

"Mitchell, you good?" Kev asked.

"Yeah, I'm good." Mitchell said clearing his throat. His breath hitched when Markus's fingers inched further to cup him through his pants.

Markus rubbed Mitchell's erection through his pants.

"Valeria, are you sticking around for the after party?" Gwyneira asked.

"After party?"

"Yeah. This is like the appetizer. The real fun starts later." Gwyneira winked at her.

Markus quirked his eyebrow at Gwyneira.

This was an interesting. A Banshee and a Siren.

"We did it last year for Markus's birthday. But that didn't end well."

"It never does when it comes to Markus." Kev took a sip of his drink.

"What do you mean?" Valeria asked curiously.

"It's nothing. It means nothing. Don't bother listening to his nonsense."

"At his fifteenth birthday party everyone competed to give him the best gift. He didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings so he asked his mom to choose for him."

"Every year for his birthday, there is always someone fighting over him."

Markus wanted to tell them to shut up because he knew how easily Mitchell gets jealous. To distract him, Markus squeezed his erection through his pants.

Markus felt a wave of excitement ran over his body. He was getting turned on as well. He found the zipper of Mitchell's pants and started to pull it down but Mitchell grabbed his hand, halting the motion.

Markus bent his head slightly to stare at him. His eyes roamed over Mitchell's face and trailed to his neck.

It had been a bad idea to tease him.

"Why can't I touch you?" Markus asked him softly.

"You're turning me on."

"That's the point." Markus could feel that familiar heat in the pit of his stomach. He pulled his hand away when his body pulsed at Mitchell's touch. He forced a smile at Mitchell before taking a gulp of his drink.

It was starting earlier than he thought it would. How was he supposed to leave his own party?

Markus bit back a groan when the pain from the heat intensified. "So, will you stay for the after party?" He asked Valeria.

"I guess I will stay for a while."

"Great!" Gwyneira said enthusiastically with a wide smile.

"Why are you so happy?" Calia asked.

"No reason. I'm going to grab a bite to eat." Gwyneira said hastily. She pushed her chair back and walked away without a backward glance.

Markus stared at Gwyneira's retreating back with a smile. The smile fell from his face when he spotted Cassie and Lucas staring at him.

"It's time for everyone to hit the dance floor." The Dj announced over the microphone.

Calia squealed with excitement. "I love dancing." She stood up from the table. "Rayne, come on." She pulled her sister from her seat.

One by one, the table cleared leaving him alone with Mitchell. He blinked his eyes when his vision dimmed for a second. It was too late. He closed his eyes at the burning. Only Mitchell's blood could soothe his heat.

Mitchell rest a hand on his leg, making his dick jump at the contact.

He grasped Mitchell's hand and guided it to his erection. When Mitchell squeezed him through his pants, Markus bit his lower lip with a moan. He closed his eyes as his breathing got heavier, the heat consuming his blood. He licked his lips then opened his eyes to stare at Mitchell.

Mitchell's hand faltered a bit when he saw his eyes. "Markus, your eyes are red."

Markus pressed Mitchell's hand down to prevent him from moving it.

"Don't stop touching me."
