My Older Mate

Chapter 12

Once at the bottom of the stairs I started looking for Mason. I looked in the living room and didn't see him there, so I went to the kitchen he wasn't there either. Where is he? I went to see if he was in the bathroom but the door was open and nobody was there. I started to get worried. What if he left? What if he-? 

My thoughts were cut off as I heard a noise coming from the kitchen. I ran in there and saw him shutting the glass door that led to the backyard. I ran up behind him and hugged him as tight as possible without hurting him. I was so scared he left without me. "I thought you left," I said holding onto him. "I would never leave you, silly," he said while holding me close to him. 

We pulled away from each other and he kissed my nose making me giggle. "You're adorable," he said, smiling down at me. I blushed and looked down at my hands. He led me over to the bar stools and we sat down next to each other. I'm so tired, I just want to go back to bed. I jumped when I heard a loud thud come from upstairs. What was that? Oh no what if Liz is hurt? I was about to stand up to go check on them but Mason stopped me. What's he doing? My best friend might have gotten hurt!

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," he said quietly laughing. What? Is he crazy? Someone might be hurt! "Why not? What if someone got hurt?" I said starting to worry for Liz. I hope she's okay. "Nobody's hurt, I promise," he said laughing still. "How do you know?" I asked unsure of whether I should believe him or not. How could he know anyway? "I can hear. Although I wish I couldn't," I could barely hear the last part because it came out as more of a mumble. Oh right, werewolf hearing. 

"What do you mean?" I was completely confused. Why would he not want to be able to hear if they were hurt? "I can show you if you'd like," he said smirking over at me. "Huh?" I don't understand what he means. Mason stands up and turns me so that I'm facing him. I look up at him confused. The confusion didn't last long because he quickly leans down and attaches his mouth to my neck instantly making a moan slip out of my mouth. 

This seems to make him more eager as he grabs my waist and pulls me closer to him. He kisses up to my mouth but doesn't actually kiss my lips. I huff in annoyance and pull his lips to mine. That's better. Our lips move together and I feel him bite my lip asking for entrance which I allow. Another moan comes out as he slips his tongue into my mouth and takes control of the kiss. 

Suddenly there's a squeal coming from the other side of the kitchen and I open my eyes to see Liz and Lucas standing there together. I can't believe we were just making out in their kitchen! I quickly pull away from Mason making him growl but I ignore it. He sits back down on the stool pouting. He's so cute when he does that. I feel a blush on my cheeks and I look down at my lap when I remember what just happened.

"You guys are going to make the cutest pups!" Liz yelled excitedly running over to me, giving me a hug. My cheeks burn even more making me turn the color of a tomato. I hear Lucas laughing at my embarrassment and I send him a glare. These people are so mean! "We definitely will," my head shoots up to look at Mason as he said this. He wants children with me? How would that even work? He winked at me causing me to blush more. I feel like I'm going to die of embarrassment right now. 

"Elizabeth, you look lovely," I heard Mason compliment her, trying to change the subject. I nodded excitedly, "You look beautiful, Liz." She smiled widely at us. "Um Mason do you think we could run by my apartment?" I asked looking over at him. "Of course, Sweetheart," I felt butterflies in my stomach when he called me this. Endearments are a weakness for me.

"Are we leaving now?" He asked standing up. "If that's okay," I said standing as well. I gave Liz and Lucas both a hug earning a growl from Mason. "Oh hush," I said jokingly, pulling him with me. He's so possessive, but it's cute on him.

When Mason started the car I turned the radio on. I started singing and dancing in my seat when I heard Ariana Grande's song "Into You". Mason just laughed at me and started driving. I got as close to dancing on him as I could be without actually being on him. My eyes went wide and I froze when he started singing along with me. He was actually pretty good. 

I snapped out of whatever trance I was in and started singing and dancing again with Mason. When the song ended I turned in my seat to look at him. "You have a good voice," I wasn't expecting him to sing with me. "Why thank you," he looked over to me smiling. The rest of the ride to my apartment was filled with us singing along to the radio and me dancing in my seat. 

We were in the middle of a song when we pulled up so we kept singing and I danced until it was over. When we got out I noticed an older lady who lived on the floor above me smiling at us, she'd obviously seen our performance. I don't know how but I managed to not get embarrassed by it. We walked up to my apartment and I unlocked the door so we could get out of the cold air. 

"Are you coming back to the house tonight?" Mason asked as we stepped inside. I don't want to annoy them because I'm there all of the time, but I like being there. "If that's okay with you," I said looking over at him. "Of course. You're always welcome," he said walking toward me. "Thank you," I gave him a hug, "I think there's some hot chocolate in the kitchen if you'd like to make some while I get some clothes," I said pointing to my room. "Sure," he walked into the kitchen and I walked to my room. 

I quickly grabbed a few outfits, not because I expect to be there for a few days, but because you never know what might happen, like with all of this rain that's been happening. I went into my bathroom to get an extra toothbrush. When I walked in my room I saw Mason standing in there with two cups of hot chocolate and I smiled. "Thank you, I'm almost done I just have a couple more things to get," I said as he handed me the cup. I took a sip ignoring how it burned my tongue. I love hot chocolate so much! He's so good at making it, it's actually the best I've had.

I went back over to my dresser and grabbed a couple of things out then put them inside the bag and zipped it up. "Ready," I said picking up my bag and putting it on my shoulders. We finished our drinks and I washed the dishes then we left to go back to Mason's house.
