Katie blushed and said, “I’m so sorry, that was rude. Thank you for the food.” And she gave him a chaste kiss on his lips.
Conner licked his lips that were tingling from her salsa, and immediately became aroused, thinking of her in his bed again. Later, he thought to himself.
Katie was shoving another bite of quesadilla into her mouth when she developed a sudden urge to take Conner home, to bed. She looked over at Conner’s half lidded expression, and then further down at his manhood that was straining against his pants.
She finished her bite and looked over at Jake and Shana. “We need to talk and then leave.” She turned to Conner once again sneaking a look at his bulging pants, “You tell ‘em while I finish eating.”
Conner started, “So, Katie has concerns about the safety of everyone at Alpha house. There are two pregnant females, and little Trevor. She’s agreed to stay at my house until the danger passes, or until she realizes that it’s where she wants to stay, raise our children together, and be my beloved mate.” He turned a dazzling smile to Katie who almost choked on her food. “I would, please, ask that we are allowed privacy and no one knows that she’s moved.”
“Of course we’ll keep quiet about it. I’m so glad that you’ve decided to stay together.” Jake said, “Do you think you’ll need extra protection for the house?”
“No, I think we should be okay as long as no one knows where she’s going. We’ll hide. And when they can’t find her, hopefully they’ll make a mistake, and we’ll catch ‘em.” Conner replied confidently while the women continued to eat voraciously.
“Does that mean we can begin to plan a mating ceremony?” Jake innocently questioned.
Katie choked on her food as Shana began to hoot her laughter. “What the hell is a mating ceremony? Why do you guys keep springing this shit on me?”
Motherfuckershitfuckcocksuckers!
Conner scowled at Jake and replied, “It’s okay that you’re not ready, Katie. It’s why I haven’t asked you. When the time is right, and you’re sure of us, then I’ll explain a mating ceremony, and ask you properly. No need to overly stress yourself.” He kissed her temple again.
Katie was wondering why he was acting so weird when she noticed the teasing look on Shana’s face, “What are you snickering at? What’s so funny?”
“Jake is trying to act so cool, but he keeps forgetting that just a few months ago he was the one in this same position.” Shana turned to Jake and winked, “He seems to forget that these things take time, and us ‘mere humans’ don’t like to be dictated to. We also kinda freak out when someone professes their love after only knowing each other for a few days.” Now looking at Katie and Conner, “Don’t worry I’ll remind him.”
It was Conner that began hysterically laughing, “You should have seen him, Katie. He literally ran after her as a wolf.” At Conner’s teasing they all enjoyed a good laugh.#p#分页标题#e#
Shana wiped the tears that were collecting in her eyes, from laughing too hard. She turned to her husband admitting, “It is funny when you think back on it. I’m really sorry I gave you such a hard time, but it turned out okay in the end. I love you, Jakie.” Jake smiled at the endearment that Trevor had started for him.
Katie was mid bite when she noticed the same smell of gingerbread cookies. “Alright, who’s hiding the cookies?” At their confused looks she said, “I smell gingerbread, and it’s not the first time today, so someone must have ‘em.”
Shana’s eyes got wide, and Conner looked down at the table blushing. Jake was the one to explain, “You have mated Conner, so you have some of his enhanced senses. Conner will be the one to teach you what the individual smells mean in terms of emotions, but I believe you were picking up the love between me and my mate. The smell of love is similar to cookies; you must be partial to gingerbread.”
“Oh, I get it. So when you feel love for someone, you smell like cookies,” Katie said.
“Simply put. I think you get the concept. I always love Shana, but when I’m having particularly strong emotions, they are easily picked up. Which is why I don’t always smell like cookies. I can remember the first time Shana fell in love with me. We were having a BBQ with the pack, she was across the room from me, but I still caught the scent and couldn’t resist going to her.” Shana smiled at the memory, placed her palm to Jake’s cheek while she leaned forward to kiss him.
