Lena stood up on her tippy toes so she could wrap her arms around Damian's neck. Feeling his lips against hers seemed to wash any worries she was feeling away. He kissed her with such eagerness, you have thought it was the last time he would ever get to kiss her. She responded to him just the same, till he began to left her up making her winch.
"What's wrong?" Damian asks concerned after breaking their heated make out session.
"Still a little sore" she says shyly feeling weak for some reason. Damian growled deeply holding her closely to him as he buries his face into the crook of her neck. "I'm sorry you got hurt red. I promise I'll never let anything like that happen again" he tells her breathing her in so his wolf would calm down.
Lena tried to pull back a little so she could look at Damian, but he wasn't allowing her to move. She couldn't help but giggle at his reaction.
"It wasn't your fault"
"It falls on me, seeing how it was one of my pack members who tried to kill you" He growls replaying the memory of that day in his head. This new-found information had Lena not feeling so well. "I think I need to take a seat" she says feeling dizzy suddenly.
Lena laid snugged in Damian's arms with her head comfortable placed on his chest. She fought against the temptation to connect with Damian on a deeper level. Laying together on her bed together was something she felt like she could get use too. He explained the situation regarding her attack as he ran his fingers through her hair. Lena still couldn't help the sexual thoughts she was having about her mate. She tried her best to focus on what he was saying, but his spicy scent invaded her sense of smell like freshly bake cookies. Her mouth watered as her wicked mind imagining if he tasted as good as he smelled.
"Red" Damian groan pulling her tightly closer to him.
"Hmm?" She hummed as her fingers danced over his chest, and down his hard stomach.
"This isn't the time or place for you to get turned on" He tells her softly as he tries to control his own desires for her. The way she was laying on him, and running her fingers over the top of him had his dick twitching. The whole time he was explaining what happen to her at the party was pointless. He knew she wasn't listening, because the smell of her arousal was a road block to his own thinking. It took everything he had plus some to stay in control for both their sakes. He would love nothing more than to take his mate right there, and satisfying both this waking need of each other. But, he knew it would be her first time, and things wouldn't be quiet. He didn't need to cause any trouble with her parents before they learn they were mates.
"Easy for you to say" Lena grumbles turning around so her back was to him. Damian couldn't help the smile that creeped on to his face from his sexual frustrated mate. Even though having her ass pushed up against his harden member surly wasn't helping his case. He still fought against his own urges, and reached out wrapping his arm around her. Leaning his face in, Damian places a soft kiss on her exposed shoulder feeling her shiver under his arm.
"Good, because I've made plenty" Her mother smiles placing a plate in front of her full of food.
"How's my baby girl feeling this morning" Lena's father asks walking into the room, and taking a seat at the table.
"She's a little moody this morning it seems. Guessing she got her period, but as for me I'm feeling great" She replies before taking a bite of her toast making her father chuckle.
"Were you referring to me just then" Jay asks his sister not seeming very amused with her joke.
"Well don't think I have any other sisters that I'm aware of, unless mom and dad forget to tell me something" Lena states looking at her parents questioningly.
