Blood Legacy (Rewritten)

63. Jessica, oh Jessica

"Put me down!"

The sound of Carrie's angered screech abruptly distracted her attention from her mate, making her turn her head and watch as Nathan had her friend draped over his broad shoulder, the lower part of her ass cheeks visible from underneath those short jeans as she squirmed and kicked her legs, unfortunately not managing to do anything as he casually walked in their direction with a smirk and a totally relaxed attitude, completely ignoring her.

"Nathan, I swear I'm gonna murder your annoying ass!"

Jessica's cheeks filled with warmth as she watched Nathan's expression turn with a mild frown, followed by a light but audible smack over Carrie's ass.

Her friend immediately squealed with surprise, making her startle a little and blink.

"Nathan!"

"Having fun guys?" Nathan said as he stopped right next to her and David, looking between them with mild interest and a raised brow.

"Nathan! Put me down right now!" She could hear Carrie angrily yelling from behind his back, futilely thrashing in his hold until he suddenly smacked her ass-cheek again, making her squeal again.

"You motherfucker!"

She startled as another smack followed, starting to feel kinda embarrassed and weirded-out by the whole situation, her gaze consciously avoiding to slip back to David as she continued to cluelessly look at Nathan.

"If you'll excuse us now, I think she needs a little scolding for that potty mouth of hers since her mommy or daddy hadn't bothered to properly teach her how to behave," He said with a wink, followed by Carrie's frustrated growl resounding from behind his back in response.

"You fucking-" Her friend squealed again as another smack followed, Nathan's head lightly shaking with mocking disapproval as he tutted.

"Such bratty behavior,"

"That's not how a lady should talk now, isn't it?" He scoldingly asked as he turned his head to peer at the side of Carrie's ass, making her feel so incredibly awkward as she momentarily lowered her gaze and tucked a rebel strand behind her ear.

"I'll leave you guys to it then," She heard Nathan say before she raised her gaze again and watched him walk away with Carrie still squirming and punching at his back.

"No! Nate, please I have to go back! We can't leave her alone with him! She's..."

She mentally cringed at the sound of those words mindlessly tumbling out of her friend's loud mouth as they drifted further and further away from them. Her cheeks burned as she kept her gaze averted somewhere to the side, evidently feeling so embarrassed now as she was pretty much aware that David had heard that too, hesitating to face him again for obvious reasons.

"We can stay here if it makes you feel...safer,"

She winced as his voice sounded so pained and deflated, her wolf whining inside of her as her gaze darted to him before she could stop herself, noticing that mournful look in her mate's chocolate eyes as she quickly remembered that he'd asked her if she wanted to go for a walk with him earlier before...whatever that was.

"No, it's okay," She rushed to say with a timid and apologetic smile, feeling her heart-rate pick up again as she caught herself staring at him again for longer than necesary.

He was so cute. Why did he have to be so damn fucking cute?

She thickly swallowed as she watched those sexy dimples appear in his cheeks as he offered her a light smile, his beautiful eyes twinkling with a spark of hope.
