*Ava POV*
It has been a three weeks since Hunter first relieved me. I think he just notices when I need him and he is there.
I found out a couple of days ago that Sam is 17 in 2 weeks. Meaning he will be leaving the academy in a week. They do not want anyone shifting here. Future Alphas need to be back with their pack for their first shift.
We are all sitting at lunch.
"I think we need to have a party for Sam’s birthday and going away in one."
Clay answers me.
"Seriously Ava you can't throw a party for everyone that leaves"
I pout.
"And why can't I?"
"It will be too many"
"It's hardly going to be anything settle down and anyway Sam was one of my first friends here, why can't I?"
Ty rolls his eyes at me and says
"Since I know you won't back down once you have decided something, how big are you thinking?"
"You guys are just a barrel of enthusiasm aren't you"
Ty answers.
"You're just so happy all the time it makes me sick"
I laugh hard leaning in to Hunters chest more. His arm wraps around me. I mean I have always been a happy person but being here and being with Hunter it does bring it to a whole new level.
"Fine then it will just be small"
I see Sam walking over to join us. I jump up and run over to him.
"We are having a party for you on Saturday night"
He laughs
"You don't have to do that"
"Nonsense, we ALL want to"
I look over at the rest of the boys and they all put on a grimace and nod. I continue
"See they are so excited"
As much as I love hanging out with boys all the time. They really aren't very motivated when it comes to this sort of thing.
I get to work planning. I only have 2 days till Saturday and with zero help from the boys.
I head into town to see what I can get in the way of supplies. I haven't really explored much.
I jump 20 foot on the sir as an arm wraps around me. But calm as that familiar deep husky voice is in my ear
"And where do you think you are going without me?"
"I thought you weren't interested in helping"
"I am interested in anything that involves you"
I look at Hunter and smile.
"You really are a sweet talker aren't you?"
He laughs, pinching my cheek.
"Just with you"
We grab booze and food. Luckily Hunter is with me as he is carrying all the stuff. There is only one thing we are missing and I spot it. I give Hunter a kiss on the cheek.
"I will be back in a minute"
I go running over to a group of girls
"Hi my name is Ava, are you girls from around here?"
"We are from a pack an hour away"
"Perfect, I know this sounds weird but are you girls interested in coming to a party with a bunch of super handsome Alphas in Saturday"
"Do they all look him? He is cute"
They point at Hunter. Giggling and laughing
"Well that one is mine, but yeah there are lots of cute ones"
They laugh
"Well who would say no to that.”
I let them know times and place to meet. I walk back over to Hunter
"I am yours, am I?"
I blush
"You heard that?"
"Yup"
"Well I mean it just didn't want them to get any ideas"
"Why would you get jealous?"
"Maybe"
Of course I would be jealous, insanely so. He rearranges all my purchases and pulls me close.
"I am yours for as long as you want me"
I grab half the things off him and we walk back, side by side holding hands.
I don't know he feels like mine, even though we are technically still friends.
Friends that hold hands
All the time
Friends that kiss
All the time
Friends that touch each other
All the time.
I have never particularly had a friend like that before. Is he my boyfriend? I don't know that just sounds strange. As wolves everything is just a before. A before you find your one and only mate. So the whole idea of having a relationship before that just sounds stupid, does it mean I want to change what is between Hunter and I.
No way.
I love him. I love being with him I love you touching him, I love him touching me, I love kissing him.
We arrive back home. We put down all the stuff. I wipe my forehead. I worked up a bit of a sweat. Hunter looks at me.
“Are you okay?"
"Umm, what? yeah I am fine"
He grabs my hand and gently leads me to his room. I have never been in here before. There is just a simple navy bedspread and the room is spotlessly clean. The books arranged on the desk in order of use.
He shuts the door quietly and turns around and grabs me and pulls me close. He kisses me. I return the kiss. The heat rising inside me. He pulls away from me and wipes the back of one of his hands over my forehead. I am sweating.
"It is okay baby doll, let me look after you"
He button my jeans and takes them off me underwear and all. He lays me down on the bed and stands over me.
I am unsure. What is he going to do to me. Is he going to try and f**k me because at this point I don't think I would even say no. He must see the confusion on my face. His voice is soft and soothing.
"It's okay, nothing like that, just relax.”
I lay down and just relax.
I trust him.
He lowers himself into his knees and then he grabs me and pulls me to the edge of the bed. He opens my legs further. His hand gently running up the inside of my thigh. My body shudders under his touch. I pull a pillow up under my head so I can see what he is doing.
His fingers gently play with me. Before he puts his face between my thighs. I am so surprised. But the feeling I get when his tongue licks along the length, he gently kisses and sucks on my core. I moan and grab the sheets.
I bend my knees and place my feet on the bed. His tongue gently massages me. Then his fingers join thrusting inside me. I look up at the ceiling. I can't watch any longer. His dark eyes piercing mine. I grip the cover harder twisting it in my hands. He gets me there and then climbs onto the bed next to me. He lays down with his head on the pillow and pulls me up beside him. My cheek to his chest and his arms around me. My hands start to run down his stomach and reach his belt buckle and I undo it. He puts his hand on mine.
"You don't have to do that, I do that for you, you don't owe me anything"
I look into his eyes.
"But I want to"
He looks back at me.
"Only if you're sure"
