Lucinda

POV.

A real date, he'd actually asked her out on a real date. It was a bit exciting, Ky'ra was happy about it, about them getting along finally. She looked at her wardrobe. Nick wanted her to wear that purple dress. She had bought it only to please Lindy and Gabby. They had all been out shopping and the two of them had nagged her into trying it on. Then they had insisted that she buy it, regardless of the fact she told them she had no where to wear it, or wasn't likely to ever wear it. Had til this day never worn it. Ever. She had no reason to get all dressed up, did not attend mating balls, and did not go out on dates. She had certainly not wanted un-mated wolves trying to paw at her, and once Ky'ra had come along, neither had she always threatened to rip their heads off, or a limb of some sort.

She stood and looked at it, bit her l!p. Nick obviously wanted to see her in it. Probably thought about it already, otherwise why ask? That grin on his face, he'd definitely thought about it. She took it down and laid it out on the bed. 'okay' she told herself. She was trying now to get along with him, and finding she did like him. Enjoyed teasing and tormenting him. No wonder Lindy did it all the time with Corey.

Got out her white lace-up sandals that he'd already seen her wear. Had been wearing the day she'd been made to come to Alpha Corey's office. He'd looked, her over she'd seen it, saw the way he had looked at her lace-up sandals. Liked it. Most men did, it seemed. Back in the bathroom, she curled the bottom half of her hair and left it out to hang loose, applied lite make-up and eyeliner, curled her long lashes, no need of mascara, too long already, put on soft pink lipstick and then went and slipped into the dress he wanted her to wear, laced up her shoes and checked her appearance in the mirror.

Took in a long, deep, steadying breath, not once had he come in here to the bedroom to see what she was up to or when she would be ready. Just did as he said he would, sat out there in the living area and waited on her.

Stepping out of the bedroom, she found him sitting on the lounge, leaned back all relaxed looking at his phone, he looked up at her and put his phone away. His deep blue eyes moved over her slowly, taking in her appearance, the dress he'd asked her to wear. A smile touched his face.

"You look beautiful." his voice was soft and husky, already.

Lucinda actually felt her cheeks heat as she blushed under his admiring look. Her Mate was staring at her, and finding her attractive. Heard him chuckle softly when she looked away a little shyly from his comment and lust-filled eyes. Embarrassed by his open ogling of her. Not that he didn't look at her like that all the time. This was just the first time she had dressed up just for him, like he wanted her to.

He stood and she looked him over, surprised to see him wearing a suit, the blue one he had in his closet that never looked worn, the only suit that was not black or grey that he owned. It fit him well, must have been tailor made for him, though with his size it was likely all his clothes were, he was not going to be able to just walk into a store and pull something off a rack, with his height and build.

It was almost the same deep shade of blue as his eyes, she realised, he was not wearing a tie, just a crisp white shirt with the top two buttons undone. Posted by FindNovel.net His jacket was open and she could see through the fit of his shirt his muscled abs defined behind it. A neat fit indeed.

He stood watching her as she looked him over and when her eyes finally met his, smiled at her. "Acceptable?" He teased her.

"Yes," she covered her mouth, and tried not to laugh, as she recalled the first time she had looked him over, and stated that he was 'not bad.' trying to annoy him on purpose that day. "Very." she added.

"Hm, a bit better than the not bad. I got last time," he replied to her, so he had been recalling as she was her torments that day. But he didn't seem or sound annoyed with her, he was still smiling. He had done his hair and shaved, was more than acceptable. Damn hot, she thought, Ky'ra agreed with her.

'Mate him.' she piped up.

'Ky'ra. Lucinda chastised her wolf and heard her chortle inside her mind.

Nick walked over and opened the suite door for her. She was led down to the Alpha's private dining room. It was set for two, a candlelight dinner it seemed. She turned and looked at him questioningly.

"What? You think I can't be romantic!" he chided.

"I never said that." but it had never really crossed her mind at all.

She knew that most mated pairs were loving and affectionate, would often celebrate their Mate Bond Anniversaries with big romantic gestures and lavish gift giving. Just had never really thought she would get to have that herself.

Nick pulled out a chair for her, she sat and felt his mouth touch the side of her neck in a soft k!ss. Sent bolts of electricity all over her body, had to bite down on the moan that nearly escaped her. Bloody man was going to seduce her.

He sat down, smiling at her knowingly. He knew what that kiss had done to her, his Alpha senses had picked it up, she took a steadying breath and tried to calm her heartbeat, but it was not helping that Ky'ra was again telling her to Mate him again. Dinner arrived minutes after they did, and for the first time she and he sat together and held an actual conversation about the things they liked to do. Learned about each other. Lucinda felt comfortable talking with him, and not once did he try to touch her. Lucinda found that Nick's tastes ran more to the savoury side, than the sweet. He liked to hang out with his boys and relax with a scotch at the end of the day, didn't mind reading a good scifi book, that he would watch just about any movie genre, but liked a good thriller.

She told him that she wasn't particularly fussed about thrillers or horror movies at all, more into the scifi or space movie, like a good action movie as long as there was a lot of a.ss kicking involved. That she likes to listen to classical music, her current favourite 2Cello's and Vanessa-Mae a violinist.

Nick didn't really listen to music, didn't really have time for it, usually always busy with his Alpha Duties. Not much of a surprise there.

Nick asked her, during the dessert, a raspberry cheesecake, if she wanted to watch a movie in the pack-house theatre room or go back to their suite to watch something. She was not fussed either way, the TV in his room was a massive wall TV. He raised an eyebrow "we could skip the movie." He smiled at her. "Nick!" she shook her head "What about the date?" she teased him, but really did mean it.

"Theatre room it is." he smiled back.

There was no-one in the theatre, just her and him. Lucinda looked at him questioningly. Had he cleared it out on purpose so they could have it for themselves?

"I didn't do this," he smiled. "It's mid week, most movies run on the weekends."

"So what are we going to watch then?" she asked.

Nick guided her to a chair, one for couples. She noted a double chair with no arm rest in between them, and asked her to wait there. He was only gone a few minutes and came back as the lights were dimming and the screen lit up. He sank now next to her, slipped an arm around her and pulled her gently into him, the screen lit up the word PREY. It was the new predator movie. She turned and looked up at him, smiled right at him.

"Thought you might like this one," he told her and then kissed her temple when she turned back to focus on the screen. Relaxed and leaned into him to watch it.

Nick, she found, was nothing but a gentleman, the whole time. He did not attempt to seduce her while the movie was running, sat relaxed with her tucked into the crook of his arm, his hand resting on her h!p the whole time, but other than that he kept it completely pg, surprising her completely. He was normally all out to seduce her when they were alone.

The movie ended and he stood casually, took her hand. "Lets go to bed," he murmured softly and walked her out of the theatre. He didn't appear to be in any rush, a slow casual walk to the elevator.

Lucinda could feel her nervousness creeping up on her, bit her l!p nervously the whole way through the pack-house and while they waited for the elevator.

He chuckled softly "We don't have to, you know..."

"I know." she murmured back, but couldn't look up at him.

They stepped into the elevator, and she was more than nervous now, found herself twisting her hands together. Feeling a little awkward. "Nick?"

"Its fine." he replied.

"Its just that...well...I've..." she closed her eyes and chewed on her lower l!p, didn't quite know exactly what to say to him.

"Not been with anyone since Matthew," he commented softly. Seemingly knowing what she was thinking.

Her eyes moved to his. "Is it that obvious?"

"No." he smiled down at her "Just hazarded a guess...It's fine, like I said we don't have too. I'll wait"

She nodded, though still found herself biting her l1p. Did she want to wait anymore?

They walked to the suite and he let her in. "Why don't you go and change." he told her. Didn't sound like he was annoyed or upset at all. About her hesitation.

She turned and looked at him. He was watching her. She bit her l!p again, shook her head. "I want to Nick...Just, can we take it slow though."

"Of course," he nodded.

Slipped his hand into hers and led her to the bedroom, stopped right at the side of the bed, tilted her chin up to make her look at him "We can wait."

Lucinda shook her head slightly "I don't want to." and she didn't. Had wanted him on more than one occasion today and knew it. Sat herself down on the bed to undo her shoes, goddess she'd never felt so nervous, not even seen him completely n.aked yet. Bit her l!p as she looked up at him, he smiled gently at her as he slipped his jacket off, then leaned down and kissed her gently on the mouth. It was so nice, she liked kissing him, k!ssed him back. Slid her hands up and around his neck, her eyes fluttered closed, felt his hand slip up and into her hair, tugged her head back to allow him to deepen the k!ss.

Felt his arm slide around her waist and then she was picked up and moved into the middle of the bed. His mouth never left hers, laid her down and lye right next to her, his hand cupped her face as he kissed her long and slow. She rolled over into him, pressed herself against him. Touched his face gently, tracing her fingers down his neck, right over his mark spot heard him growl instantly "Might not want to do that." He sounded breathless to her.

Lucinda giggled softly "Sorry, do you like that?" she knew he would, his mark spot would be sensitive to her touch. Very sensitive it sounded like. Felt like it, she realised a moment later as his hand suddenly gripped her h!p and pulled her against him. He was fully aroused. "oh!" she whispered.

"Mm." he replied, his h!ps moving against her.

Lucinda sighed softly and felt his mouth move to her neck, slide down in a trail of hot kisses that were curling her toes and sending electric shocks all over her skin. His mouth slid right over her mark spot and a moan of pleasure escaped her. Her whole body moved against his, trying to get closer to him. Found herself underneath him, his mouth firmly on her mark spot, k!ssing hungrily, another moan left her deeper and more desire filled than before, oh goddess, it was amazing to feel. So much pleasure from just one k!ss on her skin.

He growled against her neck, his body started grinding against hers and she moved back against him, goddess it felt so good. Then a hiss of pain ripped out of him and his head snapped back and away from her his eyes were wide and his breathing heavy and fast. Lucinda stared up at him as his whole body stilled on top of hers, uncertain as to what had just happened "My Oath." he muttered, closed his eyes and took in a long steadying breath, trying to calm himself, she thought. "Are you alright?" she bit her l!p

"Yes." he nodded and looked down at her "Better keep away from your neck is all."

"Are you sure?" she asked, a little worried. He'd lost control once already. Will he do it again?

"Yes. I'm under control." he touched her face softly 'I can put my mouth else where." he smiled at her, she understood his meaning. Smiled a little shyly back.

Nick leaned down and kissed her again, shifted himself, his body off of hers and pulled her back onto her side 'Nick?" she whispered.

"Slowing it down." he answered her.

He slid his hand up her back and then down, she felt her dress's zipper go with his hand and then he was touching her bare back. Electricity flowed across her skin where he stroked her back and then pressed her against him. Lucinda moved against him sighing softly, wanted to be closer to him, to touch him like he was touching her. "Nick!" she shook her head "What about the date?" she teased him, but really did mean it.

Tugged at his shirt to loosen it from his pants so she could pull it up, Nick leaned back and away from her, pulled the whole shirt off and moved right back to her, pulling her back up against his chest, his hand sliding over her back again.

She slid a hand over his abs, goddess they were firm and nice under her fingers, slid her hand all the way down to his pants, heard him growl softly again, could hear his breathing quicken, slid one finger up along his v line, light as feather, his hand was in her hair, pulling her head back, his mouth on hers hungrily and hot, her hand curled around his waist and moved up to slide over his peck goddess it was as hard as the rest of him. Traced her fingers around his n!pple.

His hand slipped down her body hard and fast, pulled her on top of him, both his hands grabbing her a.ss and pulling her hard against him. She gasped, as she felt the full size of him grinding hard up against her "Goddess Nick.", she kissed him eagerly, wantonly how he could make her feel so full of desire so quickly.

His had pulled her harder against him, rocking her against him faster. She gasped as pleasure started to build inside her. Oh goddess she was hot all over, w.et and aching for his touch, gasped against his ear, his hands were pulling at her dress, up and over her a.ss, then his hand curved around her a.ss and slid down, his impossibly long arm allowing him to reach her very hot and aching core, a cry of pure bliss erupted from her as he stroked her firmly through her panties.

Continued to stoke her firmly, getting faster as she pushed her h!ps back against him, moving against his fingers, moaning into his ear, oh goddess she was c.umming, her hands gripping his arms tightly as she gasped his name, heard him growl deeply as she came under his touch.

Was underneath him a second later, his mouth on hers ravaging hers as his hand was pulling her dress all the way off, down her body. His mouth followed the dress, hungrily, k!ssing and n!pping his way down over her b.reasts and stomach, bit her right on the h!p firm and hard. She cried out, her hands grasping at her own body as her back arched up as she touched her own b.reasts, as he slid his mouth down her thigh, a low, deep, growl desire filled growl rolled out of him. Her eyes opened and found him watching her. His eyes were on her hands, as his mouth bit into the inner side of her knee, her dress was gone, his mouth was hot and she could feel nothing but her need for him, could smell his desire for her, filling her, breathed it in and moaned as his mouth moved up the inside of her the!gh slowly his eyes now on hers, she was watching him and he her, Goddess she was going to drown in those blue eyes.

Felt his teeth bite down on her inner thigh, his and sliding up slowly, firm but gentle, her head fell back. "Please," she moaned.

"Soon," he whispered, trailing slow hot kisses up her leg, she was hot and on fire.

His mouth hit the scar on her inner thigh, bit it, and it was like a bucket of ice water fell over her. Her eyes opened in a flash as the memory of Felecia hit her hard, fighting Darwin as he tried to force her, the new born twin between her thighs, covered in her blood, from that scar. Tears burned her eyes. "Stop." she gasped, pain filling her, the tears spilling down. She yanked herself away from him, up the bed, trying to get out from underneath him.

He stopped instantly and looked up at her, lifted his whole body to allow her to pull away from him. "It's okay," he said softly.

"I'm sorry," she whispered, she did want him and now she'd ruined it. Sat staring at him.

"Hey, it's okay." he said gently, moved himself up and next to her on the bed, put his arms around her slowly and held her 'Whatever it is."

"I'm sorry Nick...I don't...I do want to...I'm sorry." she buried her face into his chest and then hugged him.

He held onto her for a long time, then his voice, soft and gentle, asked "How'd you get the scar?"

"My Luna cut me." she whispered and a sob escaped her.

"Why?"

She shook her head, more tears spilled and she hugged him so tight to her, needed him for comfort "To make them smell like me." she whispered some time later.

He was quite for a long time "The twins?"

she nodded "Yes...to protect them...from him."

Lucinda could feel one hand stroking through her hair, and the other was rubbing her back gently. "You did protect them," he reassured her.

"Nick...I didn't understand." she shook her head.

"Understand what?" he asked quietly.

"What did it." a sob escaped her, her heart breaking "They're my babies, and I gave them away." Her whole body was racked with sobs, she felt him hug her in to him even tighter, lay her down on the bed and just held onto her, until she stopped sobbing. "I'm sorry." Nick sighed softly.

"I didn't know..."

"the blood bonding book you read."

she nodded, "I don't....know what to do about them." and she honestly didn't.

"Do whatever you need to. I will support your decision."

She tilted her head up to look at him, "Even if I want them here?"

"Yes." he nodded, looking right into her eyes, he meant it.

"I'm sorry," she told him. Looking right back at him.

"For what?" he asked.

"I ruined everything." They had had a really nice night and she'd gone and ruined it. She hadn't wanted to ruin it.

"No you didn't." he smiled down at her gently "We have all our lives to..." he grinned a little at her "Mate each other, why don't we just snuggle up and get some sleep for now." Lucinda nodded " I'm sorry," she whispered, she really was.

Got under the covers when he encouraged her to, watched as he slipped off his suit pants and got back into the bed, she moved into his arms when her held them out for her. "Try and get some sleep."

"Does it bother you?"

"No. I'm glad you told me. Explains a little about you. Your reaction too..." he trailed off "I'm glad you told me, I want you to tell me everything, when you're ready." Lucinda nodded "I will, Nick, soon," she said softly, and really did mean it.
