His Mate

Chapter Thirteen

A whimper left my lips when Athanasios slowly pulled away, his fingers unlacing from my hair to cup my cheek. I smiled up at him and stroked his neck slowly before pulling his down again for a kiss. Athanasios smiled and kissed me back, massaging my scalp as he worked his skilled mouth against mine before pulling at my bottom lip. I can't believe I'm actually doing this.. I thought as I lost myself in the kiss.

"What time is it?" I asked once he pulled away and rolled to his side before wrapping his arms around my waist. I rested my head on his shoulder and ran a hand up and down his chest, closing my eyes as I hummed. Athanasios smiled against my forehead. "10 o'clock." Athanasios grinned before kissing my collarbone. A rush of heat rain down my spine before I whined for him to stop. Athanasios grinned, complying with my request and kissed my hand softly, stroking my fingers.

"Are you hungry?" I bit my lip in thought before shaking my head, kissing his lips as the loud screech of his phone interrupted us. Are you serious? "Can you get that for me?" He asked as he groaned, his head falling back against the pillow. I laughed, rolling over and grabbed his phone from the nightstand.

"It's Cal." I hummed and rested back against his tight toned chest, closing my eyes. Athanasios nodded and answered, holding the phone with one hand as his other stroked circles on my shoulder. I moved closer to him and stroked his abdomen slowly, a small grin coming to my lips as Athanasios took my hand into his, kissing it.

"What is it?" Athanasios muttered as he focused on stroking my skin. I rested my chin on his chest and leaned up slowly to kiss his cheek, frowning at the aggravation in his voice. I smiled softly at him before sliding away making him frown at me and he gave me a questioning look. I gave him a firm stare before pulling on his shirt and leaving the bedroom to give him some privacy.

I hummed softly as I made my way downstairs and down the L shaped staircase, stopping once I entered the kitchen when I saw Sasha sucking on an orange. I smiled as he made his way to me and kissed my cheek before poking it. The red head tilted his head and cocked his hip against the counter top.

"Did ya do it ye'?" Sasha asked. A dark blush covered my cheeks and I shook my head, clearing my throat.

"We're not even close to that yet," I muttered and reached up for two coffee mugs. I saw from the corner of my eye as Sasha rolled his eyes. "I'm serious, Sasha. I don't even know where Athanasios and I are at.." I whispered. Sasha looked at me before wrapping an arm around me and rubbed my shoulders.

"Well, ya know? Maybe ya'll guys fig' it out." Sasha said. It was sometimes difficult to understand what Sasha was saying. I smiled and sighed as he patted my back before leaving me alone. I poured a cup of black coffee for Athanasios and added two sugars and creamers into my coffee. I grabbed them and made my way upstairs, slowing when I heard Athanasios curse.

"What do you mean Templeton is at the house?" Athanasios hissed. I quietly walked into the room and moved over to him, sitting down on the side of the bed to hand him is coffee.

Athanasios shook his head and took the mug from me before placing it on the nightstand as he returned to his call. I sipped mine before staring down at the contents in the cup. I stroked the rim of it before glancing up at Athanasios as an annoyed look covered his face. "Make sure he stays there until I get there." I leaned over and placed my cup on the stand next to his, watching as he stood.

Athanasios kissed my forehead, cupping the back of my head before he moved to the dresser and pulled out a pair of pants and a shirt before pulling them on with the phone still pressed to his ear. He offered me a small smile before gesturing for me to get dressed. I squinted my eyes at him as I pulled off the shirt I was wearing before sliding off my pants.
