Next In Line: Ch 2

Leah was right. Somehow, I knew how to kiss him back and I wanted this to happen. I found it funny how just a few moments ago I was pushing him away.

Our lips moved together, in perfect sync. He nibbled my bottom lip lightly and licked it back and forth. I stopped moving, not knowing what it meant.

Open your mouth, sweetheart.

His tender voice sounded in my head.

I could feel a blush creep up my cheeks at him telling me that, but I did as he was told, slowly parting my lips against his. As he slowly slipped his tounge into my mouth, I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer. His hands slid down to my waist, pushing me back against the door then moving one arm around my waist, pressing me up against him, and the other hand up to cup my cheek. I pressed myself closer to him, running my fingers through his tousled black hair.

He broke the kiss and picked me up, bridal style. He smiled at me as I melted into his arms. His body was eminating heat, and he smelled amazing. Mason carried me away from the fornt door, and started making his way up the stairs to his room. I wasn't nervous though, well not yet. He set us down on the bed, laying me on top of him. I already knew I wasn't losing my virginity, not tonight, not this soon.

Wasn't planning on it either, Cass. Don't worry.

Thank you.

I showed appriciation even more by running my hands across his bare chest and up and down his well formed abs. I felt his chest rumble as he let out a growl of approval. A light growl of my own escaped my chest before I could stop it. I could feel my inner wolf begging to be let out; she was going crazy. I pushed myself off of Mason and sat on the edge of the bed, my head in my hands. I normally dind't have such a small amount of control, but I would bet anything on the fact that it was because Mason was with me.

He started rubbing big, slow circles into my back, massaging me and slowly helping me gain back my control.

"Does this..ever happen to..you?" I asked him, breathing heavily.

He leaned against my back, resting his chin on my shoulder. I could feel his breath on my cheek.

"Yeah," he was panting, too. "It does....but never this....bad."

I reached up behind me to cup his cheek and turned to face him. I waited until we both caught out breath before I spoke.

"Mason, this can't last forever, right? I mean, if we ever kiss in public, everyone is gonna rush us off to the hospital thinking we're both having asthma attacks. And tell how it's happened before," I told him, looking straight into his eyes. His big, beautiful, blue eyes. I could see why so many girls wanted him. I was so lucky...

"Cassie?"

Oh right. He's still here.

"Huh? Oh sorry, what were you saying?" I asked, snapping out of it.

He smirked. "I was just telling you that it gets better when I mark you and it doesn't happen that often when we've completed the mating process," he said cautiously. He knew I didn't want to go there just yet.

"What if....what if I let you mark me? That'd help, right?" I sincerely hoped it would. I knew he would tease me during school hours, and that was something I didn't know if I could take. He leaned into me suddenly, buring his face in my chest and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him. He growled lightly as I held him. It was a sweet guesture, reminding me of how much our inner wolves need their mate.

He pulled his face out of the hollow of my throat and moved up to the crook of my neck. He started kissing the side of my neck, and I tilted my head to give him better access. He slowly started grazing my neck with his teeth, giving me chills. I ran my hand down his abdomen again, tracing the outline of his well defined six-pack. He moaned into my neck and licked the spot where my mark would go. He moved up a bit and bit me playfully.

Then he moved back down to the same spot and licked me agian. Both Mason and I were gasping for air.

Just do it. Please, Mason. Please, I begged him.

Say it out loud, he demanded.

"Mason...do it...please," I moaned.

"Say it agian," he growled.

"Please," he shook his head and licked the spot once more. "Mason."

He bit me so hard that I nearly screamed, and I knew he'd broken the skin because I could feel the blood flowing down my collarbone. He licked at the wound gently, like a mother would her cub. He lapped up all the blood until my neck was clean again. He kissed the spot inside of his teeth marks gently, and sighed. He looked at me then, a huge grin on his face.

"That hurt," I pouted playfully. It wasn't a total lie, the spot was still sore.

"You'll be fine," he murmered, nuzzling my cheek. He pulled back, suddenly serious.

"Cassie? How come I feel like I know you? Like I've know you all my life..." he trailed off.

I didn't know the answer, but I felt the same way. Still keeping his gaze, I kissed him deeply. He kissed me back, and I shivered as his hands inched up my tank top, until they rested just below my breasts. I squirmed under his touch, even though I wanted to be comfortable with it. But he knew I wasn't ready.

"It's eight o-clock, Cass. I'll drive you home."

***

We were parked in my driveway, neither of us ready to say goodbye yet. I finally turned to Mason and hugged him. I nuzzled his neck as he wrapped his arms around me as well. We kissed goodbye for about 10 minutes, and Mason was definitley smug about that. In only 2 and a half hours he'd managed to not only take my first kiss, but also mark me as his mate and turn me into a makeout machine.

That was cheesey, he sent, laughing. I smiled back, blushing. I was still getting used to having someone in my head 24/7.

"Goodnight, Mason," I said, getting out of the car.

"Goodnight, Cassie. I'll see you tomorrow," he said with a smirk as he drove off.

Same old Mason, I thought, and walked inside.
