I Reject You

Chapter 30

I was excited and nervous at the same time. I guess it was normal for me to feel this way but my heart was beating in my chest furiously keeping me distracted from whatever he was saying.

I took a moment to realize that he had placed his hand on top of mine that was resting on my seat.

He gave me it a small squeeze as if to calm me down. I was grateful because only his mate bond could calm me down right now.

"Thanks." I told him quietly.

"You don't have anything to be nervous about. You look absolutely beautiful. Black suits you." He said for the second time today in the past 30 minutes.

"And I'm surprised to see you in something other than black." I told him in a teasing way.

"You, my sweet little mate, should definitely stop teasing me." He tried threatening me in a playful voice.

"I guess I just wanted you to see that I'm really making an effort for you." He added after a while, rubbing one of his hands at the nape of his neck in a shy way while driving with the other one.

I smiled at his comment. I liked this side of Ashler; playful and sweet. "Well you should wear it more often, it brings out your eyes."

"And you should wear that black lingerie of yours more often." He smirked.

I gasped and turned red at his comment. "Don't start with that now. I didn't know you were at the door and I-"

He cut me off by saying, "I was saying that as a compliment. You don't even know how sexy you were looking in it. If Lily hadn't interrupted us, I would've ripped it off of you that very second. It took everything in me to walk away from you without doing things to you that you can't even possibly imagine."

Okay...way to put it subtly Ashler.

My breath was caught in my throat. Ever since Ashler had marked me, I had started experiencing heat. This is a phase that female werewolves go through when they find their mate but the mating process remains incomplete. It was mild as of now but it'll probably keep on growing if we don't mate soon.

You tend you want, no need your mate. In ever single way- mentally, emotionally and definitely physically.

"I...." I was spellbound. I really didn't know what to say at that moment. 

I mean, I hadn't even confessed my love to him till now because of my overthinking skills and here he is talking about things that are not helping my heat phase at all.

"You don't have to reply. Take you time, I want you to be as comfortable as possible. After all, it's special to the both of us." He said, sending my heart into a frenzy mode.

The silence in the car wasn't awkward but not comfortable either. I feel like I tend to spoil everything between us because of my habit of being so damn careful all the time.

However this time I wanted something to happen between us in the back of my mind. What I didn't know was how to initiate.

"I really hope you like where I'm taking you." He said, breaking the silence and I was thankful for that.

"Only if you had told me." I grumbled in annoyance.

He chuckled making me roll my eyes at him.

After what seemed like forever, we reached in a more deserted sort of area. It seemed like the road continued somewhere to the middle of the forest. By the time we had reached, it was almost night time.

Ashler stopped the car and before I could get out myself, he already jogged over to my side to open the door for me.

As we walked out of the car, I couldn't help but let out a gasp of surprise at the view in front of my eyes.
