"So I-" Before I could finish my sentence or even think Aaron had put his arms around my waist and pulled me against him while kissing me fiercely. I was completely frozen with shock...Well almost completely. My hands had involuntarily dug into his thick hair keeping his face secured to mine. I couldn't focus because everywhere his hands or lips touched burned. Burned in a really great way. Making me want more. While one hand held me, his other crept up my leg and dug into my thigh making me moan. I wrapped my legs around his waist. I wasn't in control of myself any more. His hand left my thigh and went behind and under my shirt to the small of my back, he pressed his fingers there keeping me still. He then pulled away from my lips and instead kissed slowly down my throat. I tried to calm my breathing but failed. There was a loud knock on the door. We both froze

I put my head down again and started walking the rest of the way to math but stopped and almost fell when I ran into a wall. It was actually a guy and when I ran into him sparks shot through my body. He caught me before I fell, wrapping his arms around my waist. I looked up-and I mean up. He's at least 6'3. When I looked into the pair of the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen I got lost in them and couldn’t look away. My wolf kept saying, ‘Mate! We found our mate!’ in my head. He stared back for a few seconds before a huge smile lighted his face. Then he looked over my head at something and glared before pulling me to his chest. "Mine," he growled. ......

It WILL be rewritten eventually but until then... *nudges book toward you with nose turned up at it* Good luck.)
