Wolfdale

SEVENTEEN (Ruby P.O.V)

"Oh, fuck Rose!" I grumble feeling the shiver of desire that runs down my spine and gives me goose bumps. "It's getting worse, what are we going to do?" I'm sitting at my desk in my office so I lean my head on my hands and close my eyes. I feel dizzy and I'm thirsty but I've already drunk two bottles of water. My wolf whines in my mind but remains silent, the truth is that we can't do anything but holding on... and it's going to be difficult. I know she's home, I smelled her the moment she came in and my whole being is screaming me that I have to go and find her while I see the light outside my window turning pink and orange... it's dusk.

I had never felt something like this before. Yes, I had heard other wolves talking about it, I've heard the howls on full-moon nights and even if I didn't have a mate I understood what they meant but, no matter what others told me, nothing had prepared me for the experience itself. I thought I'd be able to handle it, and I could at first, but I strongly believe I'm going to burst into flames if she doesn't touch me right now. I started feeling bad on Sunday morning but I only wanted to be with her, put my hands on her soft skin often, hug her and feel her close, some kisses to relieve anxiety... I was doing really fine. The night was worse, I could barely slept for a few hours, the rest of the time I was sweating and hearing her breathing by my side: my mate was at my fingertips, smelling like flowers and grazing my body with her legs every time she turned in bed. Today has been like hell on earth from the very first moment we got up, when she drank a sip of her coffee and moaned, when she licked her spoon coated with jam... I had to grab tight the marble counter to stop me from taking her in my arms, forcing her to lie on the kitchen island, then covering her body with jam and... Rose whines in my mind again.

Gym helped leaving me exhausted for a while and spending the day in my city hall office far away from her was a good idea, even if I couldn't stop thinking about her at least I wasn't smelling her like I'm doing right now. Desire runs through my body like a heat wave again and I gasp in pain, a dozen of images of Iselen naked in all possible positions, moaning and writhing under my body make their way through my mind. I can't do this, I cannot physically restrain myself if I'm at home, I have to get out of here...

"Let's go for a run through the forest," Rose whispers. Great idea: we'll run till we fall asleep exhausted under a tree. We'll come back tomorrow and ask for forgiveness since we're going to leave her alone for the night. I open my office door and walk down the corridor wincing at the same time. My body is screaming for me to go and find her but I can't... I promised her, I'm not going to touch her without her permission , I'm pretty sure that I can control my impulses.. I'm not an irrational animal. "But I am one of those," my wolf answers with a growl. "Let's get out of here now."

"Ruby, can you come a moment?" My mate's sweet voice calls me from behind the door of my bedroom... our bedroom. Rose and I stop abruptly in the middle of the corridor, a bead of sweat runs down my temple and I bite mi lower lip hard. If I open that door, I'll be screwed... literally. "Honey, can you come?"

"Ruby... our mate's calling us..." My wolf stares at me worried, she knows we can't say no... no matter how bad the situation is... if Iselen calls me, I'll go to her. She's my mate, she owns my life, my body and even the air I breathe. I can't refuse anything to her. I'm lucky she's a good person and won't take advantage of this because otherwise she could make me her slave with the snap of her fingers. I take a deep breathe, and I regret it immediately because I can smell her, and open the door gritting my teeth.

"Fuck..." I mutter opening my eyes wide due to the shock. It's taking a while for my mind to process what I'm seeing and my keen sense of smell is the first one reacting: it smell like roses... the subtle and delicious scent comes from to candles that are lit on my nightstand, the red rose petals covering the white sheets of my bed and from her skin... her sweet and soft skin smells like roses. And the amount of bare skin I can see is making my mouth water. The light pink sunlight is pouring inside the room through the windows and turns some locks of her hair and her eyes into liquid gold, she's standing next to the bed with her hands on her back, looking at me slightly blushed, barely covered with a satin and black lace little garment, biting her lip nervously... The Goddess of the Moon has come to visit me, she's here in my bedroom, and I'm about to fall on my knees crying out of gratitude. Rose gasps in my mind and she lets her body fall back, lying on the ground with her paws up playing dead with her tongue hanging out of her mouth, till she opens an eye to keep staring at our mate in awe. "Fuck!" I repeat louder while Iselen looks at me fidgeting nervously. "I'm sorry, that's not what I wanted to say..."
