The Mate's Curse

Chapter 14

(Cassie’s POV)

Parker and I walked slowly back towards Opal House in silence. The doors were locked when we got there so I pulled my card from my purse and swiped it giving me access. Parker opened the door and I walked in with him following me. Once we got to my room I turned and smiled “Thank you” I said “I appreciate you walking me” He grinned and a glint of something flashed in his eyes “oh you aren’t getting rid of me that easily beautiful” he said and lifted his hand to gently stroke my face although hovered slightly away not closing the distance “I want to check your wounds” he said dropping his hand again.

I hesitated a second before nodding my head, he was instructed to bring me home so it makes sense that he was being thorough. I unlocked and opened the door and held it open for him. He walked in past me and I switched the light on closing the door. He looked around the room with interest as I slipped out of the heels kicking them to the side. “I would offer you a drink or something but…” I trailed off at the emptiness of the room, he smiled again “next time beautiful” I raised my eyebrow “next time?”

“Oh I’m counting on it” he winked and I blushed again. I shook my head at myself and he chuckled. He stepped up close to me, taller now that I was in my bare feet. He lifted his hand to touch my face and I felt his fingers gently running down my cheek. “Erm…” his voice sounded lower, rougher, and my body reacted to it as I felt a warmth in my stomach  “turn around” he commanded “what?” I asked although my breath had become shallow “I need to see your back” he coughed “check for injuries” 

“Oh” I turned around so my back was to him. I felt his hand stroke my back sending shivers down my spine and I closed my eyes to try and control my breathing. 

Parker’s hand hit a spot that sent pain into my shoulders and as I winced he hissed “What” I looked over my shoulders “it looks like there is some dirt in here form the ground” he explained “I am going to have to clean the wounds” I nodded my head, “Ok” I said, he leaned in to my back and I could feel his hot breath on my neck “take off your dress” he whispered in my ear. I gasped “what?” I uttered maybe a little too loud and he chuckled “you’ll need to take off your dress for me to get to the wounds” 

“Oh” I could feel the heat creeping up my face from embarrassment, what was wrong with me. 

He walked over to the bathroom and turned on the light before going in “what are you doing?” I followed him, I got there and he was searching through cupboards, he looked up and grinned “jackpot!” and pulled a first aid box from in the cupboard under the sink “Every pack house room has these fully stocked to cover small injuries” he explained. “I’m going to prepare the water for cleaning, if you want to get ready and sit on the bed, I need your back completely uncovered. I nodded my head and turned into the room “let me know when you are ready, I’ll stay in here until then” he called after me. 

I rushed to my suitcase and pulled out a set of night clothes. They were purple with white stars on, the bottoms were shorts and the top was a vest, I quickly stripped out of the dress wincing at the pain and stepped into the shorts. I had nothing that I could use to cover my front that left my back clear so I opted to hold the vest top over myself and sat on the bed. I sat on the bed at one end and held the top to my chest tight “Parker?” I hesitantly called “ready beautiful?” as he poked his head out from the bathroom, I nodded and he came out carrying a bowl of steaming water and a cloth, he placed them on the bedside table and went back in the bathroom for the box. 

Once back he sat close behind me “This might sting a bit, sorry” he apologised

“It’s ok” was all I could say, I was suddenly feeling nervous. 

I felt his hand on my back again before feeling the damp cloth touch my skin. Where he put the cloth was initially hot but it soon cooled leaving cool drips of water to drip down my back slowly. Parker worked gently for a few more moments before declaring my back clean “I’m just going to put on some of this cream, stuff is magic, we use it all the time for our wounds” he talked away as he sprayed some of the cream on to his hand. He started to rub the cream into my back slowly and deliberately, and he leaned in closer. I could feel his breath on my neck. Then his hand travels too far round and he grazes the side of my breast that isn’t covered by the top. My breathing quickens as I feel the heat in my stomach return. 

I close my eyes again to try and control my breathing again, he chuckles right by my ear and he gently nuzzles his face into my neck and breathes in, the heat intensifies and lowers. “You smell so good” his voice is rough again and it sends shivers down my body, causing me to gasp as I know that my panties are starting to get wet. I feel him sniff again and I know that he will be able to smell my arousal. He places a gentle kiss in the crook of my neck traveling up to nibble on my ear. He reaches his hand round to cup my chin and guides me to turn my head. I feel his breath on my mouth before he grazes his lips against mine and as if asking permission, then he applies more pressure and I lean into him, giving him a better angle and he deepens the kiss further. His thumb grazes my breast again, only harder this time and I gasp into his mouth. 

Suddenly he pulls away, and I feel the absence of his warmth straight away 

“Sh*t!” he exclaimed “Cassie I’m sorry” he quickly stood up and moved towards the door. “Wait” I called and he stopped. I shrug my top onto my body so I don’t have to hold it and run across the room, Parker turns to face me, and caresses my cheek “I like you Cassie” he whispers “I really do” he sighs and lets his hand drop again “I like you enough to want to not be my usual d*ck self” he shakes his head and smiles like he’s in disbelief of himself “I am really trying to be the gentleman you deserve” his tone lowers with rough edge and his eyes darkened with lust as they travel over my body “and if I stay any longer, I’m not sure how much of a gentleman I would be” my breathing quickens again and I feel a warm wetness between my legs as the heat intensifies. He sniffs the air and growls low in his throat, my body responds and I close my eyes trying to calm myself, my own lust making it difficult to think straight. Geez Cassie, I mentally reprimand myself, I know that lust around werewolves can be way more intense, but this is ridiculous. 

I open my eyes again and realise how close we are and take in a quick breath, Parker leans down stiffly, as if mentally restraining himself, and places a light kiss on my cheek, he doesn’t move away and the kiss followed by his warm breath sends shivers through my body. He sniffs again and I know that my lust is stronger. He growls again and starts backing me up into the wall and I can feel his hardness pressing between us “tell me to stop” he breaths “Cassie” he pleads “tell me to leave” I involuntarily lick my suddenly very dry lips and his eyes dart watching the action, I go to say something, I don’t know what, anything, because the tensions is making breathing increasingly difficult. Before I can utter a word his so soft lips crash down onto mine and he pushes me harder into the wall. I gasp which allows him room for his tongue to invade my mouth and I welcome it willingly and the kiss deepens. I find myself becoming light headed, not really sure if from lack of oxygen or the pure lust running through my body. 

Parker finally breaks the kiss and I gasp for air as he buries his head in my neck, breathing my lust ridden scent deeply. He starts to lick, suck and nip down my throat. His hands travel down my body spreading heat where they touch. He grazes his teeth along the curve of my neck and my collarbone, and a surprise moan escapes my mouth and he groans in response, grinding his body into mine before hooking his hands round hips and lifting me. I wrap my legs around his torso and as he begins kissing me again he moves us over to the bed. We land on the bed with me on my back and him between my legs. He breaks away from the kiss again and I see him look at me, his eyes black with lust before moving back to my neck. His hands travel my body, one down to my hip and the other under my vest to cup the outside of my left breast before his rough thumb grazes my n****e bringing it to immediate attention and another gasp escapes my mouth. I feel, more than hear, him chuckle as his kisses travel down my chest, while his hands lift my vest to expose my breasts. Snaking his hands round my back and lifts enough to discard my vest, before laying me back down and immediately capturing my right breast in his mouth while paying attention to my other with his hand. I try to stifle another moan as heat radiates through my body and I feel the warm throb of need at my centre. 

Parker growls “not now dammit” 

“What?” I am brought out of my lust daze by his apparent frustration “Nothing beautiful” reassures “just a Beta with seriously bad timing”. He then smiles a wicked smile full of promise and captures my mouth once more as his hand caresses first my hip and then as he runs one finger under the edge of my panties, and his thumb plays lightly across the top of them across the now soaking thin cover over my core. I growl and bite his lip slightly. He chuckles into the kiss and slips his hand into my panties, his thumb finding my bud and stroking while his fingers strokes the outside of my folds. I cling to his arm as he increases the motion of his thumb and I can feel a build up of the heat inside me and I my body starts to shake with the impending- “F**K!” he shouts and jumps up pulling away all his warmth from me. 

“What the-” I protest only to see him sat on the edge of the bed looking p*ssed off, his eyes glazed over. His eyes clear and he looks at me with frustrated regret. “sorry beautiful” he huffs “boss is being VERY insistent” he looks me up and down, the desire still in his eyes and picks up my vest from the floor and passes it to me with the look of regret on his face.

I sit up to put it on and he caresses my cheek and grazes his lips over mine “to be continued beautiful” he promises with a wink and stands up “get some rest, I’ll see you in the morning” and with that he leaves. As the door closes I lay back and pull a pillow over my head to scream my pent up frustration into it. 

Can’t believe I got c*ck blocked by the Beta!
