Autumn Leaves

6 // I'm a very, very bad girl

"It's wonderful!" I exclaimed when we reached the lake, it was late evening twilight outside and the few rays of sunlight still reflected in the clear water that rippled gently. I gulped at the beautiful sight as I forgot about the world around us. There was something magical to it, as if sirens could jump out of the water any time.

No other soul but us was near to interrupt the beautiful view.

Hunter's warmth engulfed me when he wrapped his arms around me from behind and rested his chin on my crown. I smiled when he touched me lovingly and supressed the urge to kiss the living daylight out of him.

He brought his lips to my ear and whispered. "I hope you brought swimwear," he let me go and stripped down to his underwear. I couldn't stop myself from drooling when his perfect chest revealed from under his shirt. It should be illegal for guys like him to wear shirts.

"because you're gonna get in that water either way." He mumbled in a husky voice while he started tucking up my sweater. My eyes widened when I realized what he was going to do. I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at him. He grinned cheekily but then turned around, covering his eyes with his hand.

My cheeks turned red when I realized I hadn't brought my bikini. I couldn't go in my underwear, could I?

He's your mate, don't be ridiculous.

Kiera scowled. I knew she was right, and was underwear really that much different from a bikini?

I started undressing slowy and pressed my mouth in a tight line when I realized my skin was not even a little tan. I looked like a glass of milk. On top of that I was also wearing a black bra and mismatching blue panties, why was life so unfair?

Mates love unconditionally right?

But when I looked at the tempting clear water I realized that it didn't matter that I looked ridiculous, I just wanted to dive in. So I ran and jumped from a cliff into the cold water. When I ran past Hunter he opened his eyes with a perplexed look. "Wait!" He yelled, but it was too late, I was already falling.

When I looked at the water I realized that it wasn't as deep as I thought it would be. It was about 5 foot deep and on the bottom of the water were rocks piled on top of each other.

I closed my eyes and flinched, ready for the impact. But it didn't come, in a millisecond two warm hands wrapped around my waist and pushed me further into the lake where the water was deeper. With a loud splash we hit the water and went under, I opened my eyes to see him swimming to the surface. I followed and swam upwards as well.

Gasping for air I arose from the water, so did Hunter. His black hair stuck to his face and the cold water gave him goosebumps all over. When we finally caught our breaths he started scowling me. "You should have waited for me, you were almost dead!" He yelled while running his hand through his hair, pulling it out of frustration.

But all I could look at were his tense muscles and broad back. The water glistening on his skin and his black wet hair that looked messy from him running his hands through it. I stared at him, feeling incredibly unattractive next to my mate.

Can I grope him?

Kiera caught me off guard and I blinked. "Huh?" I asked Hunter. He stopped lecturing me and narrowed his eyes. But then let out a defeated sigh. "I'm just happy you're still alive." He said and he pulled me closer to him. My body was ice from the cold water, but my skin was on fire everywhere we touched. I tried to calm myself but even Kiera was having a very, very hard time staying cool.

I have to rape him, right now

She howled, which made me burst out in laughter. Hunter looked at me with a confusion, which made me laugh even more. Something sparkled in his eyes and before I could stop him his canines grew and he growled playfully. "No, " I said laughing, holding up my hands up defensively and backed away. He jumped so fast I couldn't even see him, and before I knew it I was thrown over his shoulder. I yelled and kicked and scowled, but he kept walking towards the shore without effort.
