Weres

23. Only Werewolf

Marley groaned and buried her face into the pillow, but the tickling sensation on her neck didn't stop. She shifted away from whatever that was trying to wake her up from her sweet sleep.

A second later the tickles were replaced by something wet, making Marley let out a whimper in her unconscious state. She felt a tingly wet thing caressing her neck and she moaned both in frustration and pleasure.

A sudden prick on the neck was enough to snap her out of her dreams. Her eyes opened only to see the grinning face of her mate. Eden was lying on the bed, right next to her. His head leaning on his right elbow and his other arm resting on Marley's waist.

"Eden! What are you doing here?!" Marley at once jerked up, falling back a little. She was still in a slight hazed state.

"I came from the window." He smirked, making Marley gasp in horror. "Chill. I just asked Mrs. Sherman for the keys. Saved myself an unnecessary workout."

Marley grimaced. "Get off!" She gave him a rough shove, making him roll down to the wooden floor with a thud. She winced at her own roughness but quickly got over it as she realized Eden had allowed her to make him fall because her soft push was nothing against his supernatural strength.

"Someone's grumpy in the morning," his muffled voice came followed by chuckles. He sat up and looked up at frowning Marley. "Only last week you were snuggling into me. I bet you enjoyed that. Come on, Don't you want the repeat of that?" He raised his eyebrows and smirked in a seductive manner.

Marley blushed as the memories of their date night came rushing back to her mind. Eden's warm body had lulled her into the most comforting sleep that she ever had in her lifetime. And of course she wanted the repeat of that, however, her shyness and Eden's already big ego stopped her from admitting that.

"What are you doing here and what were you doing—" Marley stopped and touched her neck, which only a few minutes ago was being assaulted by Eden. "Did you bite me on the neck?!"

"Don't worry you woke up before I could leave a mark," Eden grumbled, disappointed. "Although it would have been nice to see you walking around with my hickeys."

Marley glared at him. He was shameless.

"T-that's so indecent, Eden," she stuttered, figuring out words to reprimand him.

"By now you should know my lovely mate that I am everything but decent."

Marley knew better than to venture more into this argument because she knew she wouldn't be winning. So, she just asked him his reason for showing up at her bed at such an ungodly hour of Saturday morning.

"You already know that I am not really a genius when it comes to calculus and Mark told me that you actually are. So, I want you to tutor me today and tomorrow for Monday's test," he replied innocently, making Marley glare.

She was mercilessly woken up at seven in the Saturday morning for this. "Really Eden?!" She huffed.

"Okay, I missed you and I didn't want to let go of any opportunity to be with you, kiss you, cuddle with—"

"Eden a little heads up would have been nice before you decided it all for yourself," she cut him off angrily. Marley's patience always ran thin in the morning and Eden was surely pushing it. She was definitely not a morning person.

"Okay, I am sorry. Next time I'll tell you.."—Eden looked at his mate whose glare intensified—"...I'll ask you." And quickly changed his words to pacify her.

"Good." Marley pulled herself up from the bed and her eyes landed on Eden's bag lying on the desk. It looked too stocked up for carrying just a few books.
