Colin thought he heard a growl come from Emma as he reached out to shake her mother's hand. no! he thought. he was just hearing things. she smelled human... but there was a slight change to her smell lately. he couldn't put a finger on it but there was definitely something different about her. Darla shooed them out the door and they made their way fingers entwined to his jeep. He went to open her door for her and they were so close as she turned around. He bent down to her almost kissing her, " Emma?" He asked.
Emma blurted out so fast " I've never been kissed before...." her face turned so red even her neck grew red. It was so perfect. he smiled at her as his need for her grew.
" can I be the first?" He didn't even wait for her to reply as he came down softly on her lips with his. she tasted so delicious. he needed to kiss her again. He had never felt anything like it. And he was so filled with pride at being the first one to ever touch those lips. his lips. the lips of his angel. when she said again he didn't take time to wait just came in deeper than before. Colin wasn't sure his need for her would ever go away. He was desperate for her touch. his heart was racing so fast he could feel the blood rushing with every beat. He was sure this was how heaven felt. right here on her lips. Heaven. They finally broke the kiss and he had to stop now or else he would never be able to do anything else. He was slowly losing what little bit of resolve he had to keep control of his wolf.
He opened the door and held her hand as she climbed into his jeep. He felt pride as she was sitting there. That's where she belongs right by his side. He had to adjust himself as he closed the door and made his way to the driver side. He took a deep breath and then released it jumping inside. As they were buckling in he swore he heard her whisper " mine!" wtf? did he just hear that? his eyes got wider as he looked at her with confusion on his face. no! she isn't wolf. he thought. it's just me trying to make her one. he told himself over and over. Her scent grew more noticeable when she did this. how could that happen? what the hell was going on? he shook his head and continued to back out of the parking space.
He would have to talk to his dad when he got back to the pack house. He thought he was going crazy a little but because his wolf had a need, a desire to mark her and mate with her. he brushed everything weird off as him. His wolf was restless.
they finally made their way to the diner. Colin jumped out of the jeep as fast as he could so he could open her door and help her out. he just wanted to touch her hand. he would do this for the rest of his life if she would put her hand in his. the inside was small and full of people laughing and carrying on conversations. they made their way to a small booth looking over the menus on the table. " you can order whatever you want." she smiled coyly at him.
" you may regret that. I have a healthy appetite " she chuckled a little as she continued looking over the menu. " my mom always says that I could eat an entire horse and still have room for pie." it was always the joke of her parents that she ate everything and gained nothing.
" my dad has always said the same thing about me!" he smiled at her. they shut their menus and began talking about everything. the conversation was easy and flowed. He marveled in thought about how easy it was to talk to her. they talked about everything and yet nothing at all. the waitress came over she was pretty. her uniform a little too tight and shorter than needed. her top was unbuttoned to show more of her bust and she leaned over pointing them towards Colin.
Colin didn't even seem to notice and continued to order his food but Emma was becoming agitated with her. Colin looked up as he heard a low growl. he almost thought he didn't hear it at all. was she growling at the waitress? the waitress looked over at Colin and the overly busty waitress glanced at Emma. He swore her eyes turned a gold color almost like the sun. He closed his eyes and looked again but they were emerald green just like before. that's when he swore he heard her say it again. " mine!" it was slow and drawn out but the waitress understood and walked away.
He sat there with his mouth open unable to form words. He blinked a few times as he stared deep into her eyes. He wasn't crazy. something was definitely happening. his phone pinged letting him know he had a message. Before he could ask her what was going on he looked back up at her. " it's my father. I'll be right back." she just nodded as he walked out the diner door. He looked back at her through the window as he called his father back.
" son...." his father paused on the other line waiting for his reply.
" yes dad, I'm on a date." there was some tone of annoyance as he spoke. he had so many things to ask Emma about. was she feeling the mate bond? Did she have the pull he did? he shook the thoughts out of his head trying to listen to his father.
" Colin you have to listen to me. bring her here right now! it is extremely important you do as I say. her mother Darla and I have already talked and we both feel it is the safest place for her right now." Colin was confused.
" what do you mean? what's going on? you know her mother?" so many things swirled in his head. so many questions he had. was she in danger? his wolf began to stir and become restless again. it took everything he had to calm his wolf and keep control.
" ok dad. " he hung up and walked back inside. he looked at her still confused but now a small amount of fear creeping into his mind. his wolf was screaming in his head begging to mark her. he fought hard to keep him at bay. " my father just called. apparently your mom and my father know each other? they said we needed to come there immediately. I'm sorry. I have no clue what's going on but I trust my father. we have to go." he reached into his pocket and paid for the food and drinks they ordered and rushed to his jeep. slamming it in gear and headed to his pack.
he kept glancing over at her as she layed her head on the window. her eyes grew heavy and she slowly drifted off to sleep. what kind of danger can a human as tiny as she is be in? He wondered what it could be. Colin felt a need to protect her with his life if he had too.
