The Werewolf's Mate (Book 1) (REWRITING)

Heated Passion

Jace's POV-

I was up and in his arms before he could even reach where I had previously been. Relief swept over me in waves that made my knees turn to Jell-O as his arms came to wrap around me. Burying my face in the crook of his neck, I breathed in his scent as though it were the very air I breathe to survive.

"What took you so long to come back?" I asked though my question came out slightly muffled. He managed to understand every word though. As if to soothe my rattle nerves, he ran his fingers through my hair lightly massaging my scalp which did work as my lashes fluttered and I took a deep breath that felt all too good. I felt myself already calming down faster than I would have expected.

"Sorry. We were just taking care of some stray rogues sniffing about the borders. They may have been the back up. Then I went with Carter and Dale and give one last search of the camp to ensure there were no rogues in hiding." He explained.

"Don't you think I would've been a lot safer if you'd just come straight here instead of running around camp looking for rogues that probably weren't there?" I retorted a little angry that he made me worry over him for no reason.

"That's a little stingy. I am third-in-command." He shot back releasing me as I wriggled out his hold.

"And I'm your pack's first priority. Asher's said so as well as the other wolves guarding us." Sky chuckled at my childish behaviour that was completed with a pout. He placed his arms around my waist pulling me closer to him as he kissed my hair.

"I'm glad you aren't hurt. Sorry I scared you."

Why can't I be mad at him?

Turning in his arms to place my own around his shoulders, I pressed my lips to his for a second or two before pulling back. "It's okay. Just don't do that again or I'll kill you myself." I warned giving him the look that said 'You have no room for argument'.

Sky laughed. "Fine, I promise. Now kiss me again?" he teased leaning in for another kiss but I turned my head so he ended up kissing my cheek causing him to groan in annoyance. Sky and I hated being teased but at the same time, we loved teasing each other. Seriously, if we really hated it, we would've stopped, but, we haven't.

**********

My body was on fire. Every inch of my body was hot, sensitive and ached with an incessant need to be touched. I had a raging boner that was becoming more and more painful by the second and my teasing asshole of a mate was nowhere in the room.

"S-Sky..." I called trailing off as another wave of whatever it was washed over me running down my chest, my stomach and straight to the part of me that wanted to be touched most. My voice had not been loud or even strong enough for him to hear me.

Yesterday, after all the wolves had returned to camp, the sun was already setting. Sky and I ordered pizza since he was far too lazy and beat to cook anything and I had zero knowledge of cooking. Seriously, I overcook spaghetti. So, we had ordered a pizza and I remember falling asleep on the couch.

But this morning, I woke up in Sky's bed which meant that despite being tired himself, he'd taken me up to his room. There was nothing wrong with that except maybe the way I woke up this morning...

To a ragingly painful boner; my body heated and overly sensitive. I had to take off all my clothes since the slightest brush of the material against my skin made it burn hot and a searing heat shoot to my groin.

I'd never been in a situation like this and I had never once felt like this. My eyes, half lidded, my lips parted as I panted for breath, I bit my lip every time a wave of that feeling came over me causing me to arch my body my hands gripping at the pillows and sheets beneath me.
