I'll Never Be Your Mate

Chapter 15

Jake POV

We reached home within few minutes. The lights of the house were off, seems everyone already went to sleep. I got out of the car with Ashley and locked the doors automatically. I carried her through the house and to her room. Her room was dark but it was illuminated with the moonlight stood out outside her window. I put her down on her bed and went to remove her heels. I then covered her with her blanket and as I was about to go, I felt her hand on me. I took a gander to see her grab my hand with one hand and with another rubbing her eyes.

"Where you're going?" She asked with her voice husk from sleep. "To my room, where else".

"Nooo! You're not going anywhere. You're going to sleep with me" she tucked my hand making fall on the bed. "I don't think so. It's time to go to sleep. Just sleep now" I replied as I removed her hands from mine and pushed her down on bed to sleep.

"But Jake I want you near and we haven't finish talking!" she whined. "No. later we'll talk. For now, go back to sleep". I stood up however, she grabbed my shirt from the back and stopped in my lead. I turned my head and glared at her. She furrowed and pouted. She yanked my shirt and in one movement my shirt teared instead of bringing me down. I turned around and gawked at the shirt in her hands. I broke up from my shock and watched her. She looked at the shirt and blinked at it. She then looked at me and gave her innocent smile. "Oops" she said and giggled. Oops! Really! That what she gets to say.

She brought the shirt to her nose and inhale it. She purred, "Hmm—its soo good, it smelled of sandalwood and forest. It's so delicious and appealing that I just want to devour it" she was talking like it was a food. It's the first time I heard anything about my scent, I didn't know about my scent smell like this. I rolled my eyes at myself. Well, what do I really know, I'm late at everything when it concern Ashley and me.

She laid down with my shirt still in her hand. Her eyes started to close down, she will soon feel asleep. I guessed it's time to make a move. I trod as lightly as I could so I don't wake up that sleeping beauty. As I was closing the door, I heard her murmured, "I could sleep this forever" she sighed in pleasure in her sleep gripping it dear to her. I smiled, closing the going to my room.

What a marvellous night!

Ashley POV

What was with that pounding in my head? I asked myself, holding my head as I sat on my bed. What really happened? My head hurts so much. I leaned my head against the headboard of the bed with my eyes closed and moaned in pain. The last thing I remembered is getting in the bar and kept drinking because of Jake kissing other girl and... Instantly all the memories rushed back to my mind, one by one. The moment I got drunk to the moment going to sleep. I face palmed at my stupidity. How did I act like idiot?! I embarrassed myself in front of him.

God!

"Seems like you remember everything" some smoky voice broke in. I prayed that I'm imagining it but when I opened my eyes, it proved me wrong. He was leaning tall shirtless against the door frames with a smug smile. My eyes roamed over his wonderful six pack and v line down to his jean. Stop! What am I doing, he'll think I'm a pervert like I was yesterday. I guessed my luck is not with today. It can't be more embarrassing. I decided to play innocent.

"What you're talking about? I don't remember anything about yesterday after getting in the bar" I assured, passing my hands in hair. "My head is tormenting, I think I drank a lot" I tried to change the topic. He rolled his eyes and kept lingering on it "Really. You don't remember anything?" he raised an eyebrow. I shook my head. "Then, how about I make you remember it?"
