The Night Children

Part 7

"We were supposed to save our strength," I tell him while enjoying him kissing his way to my mouth. "And it's lunchtime, I'm starving."

"Stop.Talking."

I squeak when he grazes my nipple with his teeth and he smiles, very proud of himself.

"Scott, if we don't go now they'll come looking for us. I don't really want my dad or anyone to find us naked."

He stands up with a groan. I admire the view as he bends to retrieve his clothes and he raises a brow when he sees me still sprawled on my back, looking at him with lust.

"Keep doing that and I'm coming back to bed to show you what it's gonna take to exhaust me."

I blush and sit in the bed while he gives me the dress that was on my vanity table.

"You know this... it doesn't have to mean anything, if you don't want it to," I start, not sure how to say it.

He puts his shirt back on and kneels in front of me, his eyes searching mine.

"Do you want it to mean something?"

I bite my lip. I never felt the need to be with someone, being perfectly able to do everything by myself, and I never felt the urge of having sex. But Scott and I have a real connection, I can't even describe it. And I love being with him. And I definitely love having sex with him.

"I think so."

"Then it's settled. Now stand up and get dressed woman, before I change my mind."

Ten minutes later we are downstairs and in the empty kitchen to grab something to drink.

"Wine or soft?"

"Soft."

I give him a soda and take one for myself before we find our way to the living room where pretty much everyone is already eating. The table is more crowded than usual, Will is here, as well as Tom and Alyssa, his mate.

"Well it's about t-," starts Ty before he stops suddenly. His eyes go from me to Scott, then from Scott to me.

I can see my dad sniff in our direction, which prompts the rest of the table to do the same.

Oh.My.God. This is gonna make the pack's headlines.

My wolf snarls. She's been silent since Scott and I had sex, which usually means that she approves, otherwise she'd have tried to eat him. I remember her being impressed by his huge wolf in the forest. His huge everything in fact.

Mate.

Oh shut up.

Scott sits on the only available chair and I sit on his lap to confirm what everybody assumed after the sniffing session. He gives me a plate and piles some chicken and salad in it before taking some for himself. I can hear people resuming their conversations but I'm still drunk on Scott and can't stop replaying our sexy time in my head. His eyes meet mine and he smirks, as if he could read my mind.

The mind link, my wolf tells me.

She seems eager to try. I open my mind and try to focus on Scott like my father taught me. As he explained when I was a kid, the alpha can talk to everyone in his pack, but the rest of us can only talk to a few people, usually our mates and children.

"Scott?"

He raises a brow but keeps eating his salad.

"Yes woman?"

"Stop calling me that. Shit I didn't think it would work,you're only supposed to talk like this with your..."

He turns to me and gives me the biggest smile I've ever seen and I lean over to kiss him.

Major PDA!

My dad clears his throat and I pull away, eating some chicken to avoid looking at him. Everyone seems to find the situation funny, except Gael, who's raging.

"Gael's reaction worries me."

Scott looks at the beta and frowns.

"I'll talk to him. Now eat, you're supposed to be starving."

"Yes boss," I mutter out loud.

My dad and the rest of the table look up, they look frozen.

"Are you talking to each other through the mind link?,"asks Ty.

"Yes," says Scott simply.

The audacity.

"Sweetpea do you know what this means?," asks Will.

I nod.

"It means I found my mate."

Scott's hand on my leg is not the only reason I start blushing under my father's gaze.
