*Alexis POV*
"Can I look at it?"
I lean forward and he grabs the bottom of my shirt with three fingers and gently drags them up my back. Sending shivers right though my body. He gently undoes my bra. I want to tell him to stop but I actually hold my tongue for once. He gently traces the design with a finger concentrating mostly on the wolf. I am literally nearly purring with the gentle attention his strong hands are giving me
"Alexis?"
"Yeah"
"What does the wolf mean to you?"
Weird question but okay.
"Strength and courage"
He breathes deeply.
"What do you think of wolves?"
"They are vicious and gorgeous, perfect animals"
"I really like it, it is a beautiful work of art"
He does up my bra and lowers my shirt and I sit back against the bed head. I look at him. He looks at me. Our eyes completely locked. I am so lost in the blue of his eyes.
He runs a hand gently over my cheek I lean into his hand. He leans towards me. Our lips are so close. I can almost fast him. I can feel the heat from his lips. Smell the sweetness of his breath I twist slightly to face him more and
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh"
He grabs me.
"What's wrong Princess?"
"Sorry just moved my foot"
He looks at the foot and looks sad again.
"Can you lay me down again?"
He grabs me without even moving from his seated position. Then rearranges the pillow again. He lays down on his back and looks at the ceiling sighing. I am careful with my foot this time I twist and put my cheek against his chest and wrap an arm around him. He puts a big muscle bound arm around me.
I feel safe safe and warm with him he kisses me on the top of the head and I listen to his heartbeat. So soothing.
I hardly know anything about this guy yet I feel so close to him.
"Lucas where are you going to go to college?"
"What? Umm, I'm not going to college"
"Your not? What are you going to do instead?"
I find myself tracing his 6 pack through his shirt.
"I will join the family business"
"What is the family business?"
"Ummm property?"
"Are you asking me?"
"It's complicated"
"Explain it to me"
"I can't right now but soon"
I sigh and try and roll off him, but his arm pins me in place
"Don't be like that, it really is complicated, nothing sketchy I promise"
"Okay whatever"
"Alexis to you believe in the super natural?"
I laugh.
"What like ghosts?"
"No like mythical creatures"
"Like dragons and mermaids"
I start laughing.
"No, ohh never mind"
He pauses for a bit.
"What's your favorite food?"
"Probably steak and chips"
"Probably?"
"I don't know its complicated"
He laughs
"I guess I deserve that"
"What's your favorite color?"
"The blue of your eyes"
I push off him and glare at him.
"You are so cheesy"
"Well it's true"
I slam my head back down on his chest.
"Easy princess we don't want you to break your jaw"
"Haha, you i***t"
His arm around me tightens.
"Do you feel that?"
"Feel what?"
"Sparks, tingles?"
"Yeah"
"Have you ever felt that with anyone else?"
I roll to look up into his face, of course I haven’t but I am confused about where this conversation is going.
"So your telling me that you are so good looking that your electrifying?"
He sighs and looks at our hands touching like he is deep in thought, I am not sure what I am saying wrong but, none of my answers seem to be what he is after.
"No not like that"
"Do you believe in love at first sight?"
I rest my chin on his chest and look in his eyes and sigh
"I don't believe in love at all"
*Lucas POV*
"I don't believe in love at all"
That is the saddest thing I have ever heard, to not believe in love. This is going to be even harder than I thought. Now I also have to make her love. As if the task wasn’t already hard enough.
I run my fingers up though her hair and down her back.
"Do you think you could ever love anyone?"
"No"
"Do you think you could love someone so much that it hurts when your not around them that they are in your every thought"
"No"
"Do you think you could love someone that when your with them you sleep better, you feel sparks between you, their smell brings you calm?"
"I am sorry Lucas I don't know what your looking for from me, I just don't believe that is possible"
"That is just really sad Alexis, to believe you could go through your entire life without that feeling"
"Its not sad, it is realistic"
"Have you ever been in a relationship before?"
"Yes"
"And?"
She drops her head, obviously a touchy subject.
"I don't want to talk about that"
I am interested but I don’t push her, if she wants to tell me she will.
"What do you feel for your mother?"
"Care, compassion and I guess pity"
I hear the doorbell ring down stairs. I move from under her and cup her cheeks in my hands.
"Alexis, that is all sorts of f****d up"
She laughs and I head to the door. I look back at her.
"Where are you going?"
"I will be back in a minute"
I head downstairs and open the door.
"Seriously Lucas I have better things to do than run around grabbing good for you and the human you are trying so hard to stick your d**k in"
"Shut it Oliver, first of all, you do not have better things to do with your time, second it is not like that"
"What is it like then?"
I grab the plates off him and slam the door in his face. I have no idea when to tell everyone I have found my mate, their new future luna is a human. I walk in and see her look at me then down at the food.
Steak and chips as requested.
"How did you do this, I didn't even see you touch your phone?"
"I dunno it must be super natural"
"Ooooooooooooooooooooo"
She starts making stupid scary faces and waving her arms around. She is going to feel stupid when she knows. I feel like shifting right now in front of her just to see the look of shock on her face. It might actually shut her smart ass mouth up for a second.
I sit the plates on the box and grab her and sit her up and adjust her foot. I hate looking at it. It looks so black, swollen and painful and to know I am the cause of it makes my heart ache.
I sit the food in front of her and sit down beside her. I smile as she happily tucks into her food.
She is really damaged. To not believe in love? How do I tell her that I loved her from the second I saw her and I will till the second I die. I will do everything in my power to protect her and cherish her and never leave her. We both finish dinner and I grab her plate and mine. I head downstairs.
"Hi Tara"
"Hi Lucas, she hasn't kicked you out yet?"
"She has tried at least a dozen times"
She laughs then says
"I have to ask"
"What is it?"
"Why the relentless pursuit of her"
"It's hard to explain, she is so beautiful, she is so strong, she is so vicious, she is so quick witted and she doesn't just follow my lead blindly like most others"
"Well that didn't really sound hard to explain, but Lucas?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't hurt her, she has already had enough hurt"
"That is not my intention"
"Well I am glad"
I head back upstairs. I lay her back down and arrange her perfectly before jumping in bed and pulling her close.
"Lucas?"
"Yeah?"
"Would you ever hit me?"
