Susan stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was donning a beautiful black dress that clung to her upper body and flowy from the waist below. It reached just under her knees. She had tied her hair in a ponytail and did some smokey eye makeup. Just a little bit and it looked good on her. Grabbing her clutch she posed in front of the mirror. She looked so girlish. Susan rolled her eyes with a sigh. Today they were having dinner at Ethan's restaurant. Blair was the happiest when Susan told her she had decided to give him a chance and also he had invited them over. Blair did shopping and now Susan had no choice but to wear the dress and get ready. Blair knocked at the door before she peeked in. A wide smile caressed her lips upon seeing Susan. "You look gorgeous," Blair said happily. Grabbing her arms she looked at her daughter up and down, her eyes turned misty. "Mom," Susan exclaimed. "I'm not getting married. Chill up," Susan tried to cheer her up as she hugged her. Blair hu
The dinner went by smoothly. Blair and Ethan talked a lot. It was obvious Blair liked Ethan. She was happy for her daughter while Susan on the other hand was still trying to overcome the fact that she was willing to give him a chance. Ethan requested to drop them but Susan told him she had brought her car. They said their goodbyes and they went home. Throughout the ride, Blair continued to talk nonstop about Ethan. At home, they retired to their rooms. Susan put her right knee on the edge of the bed before dropping face-first on the mattress and sighing. It was such a long day. She felt tired. Susan won't deny the fact that the food at his restaurant was amazing. Though she was barely talking to him, she was prying on his conversation with her mom. She recalled him saying that he loves cooking. She wonder which recipes he made. Susan changed into her comfy clothes and got into bed. A yawn escaped her lips as she scrolled through her phone and checked tomorrow's schedule at univ
Penelope glared at the arm wrapped around Susan's waist before she glanced up at Ethan who was peering at frowning Susan. "Yeah, whatever," Penelope muttered, gaining their attention. "I'm Penelope," She beamed, stepping closer to his side. "If you ever need company..." She trailed off, smiling mischievously at him. Ethan smiled, returning her gesture. "I'm happy with the girl here, now if you'll excuse us. We have to go," Ethan said rather sternly as he turned around. Opening the door for Susan he helped her in and closed the door before getting on the driver's seat. He put the car to drive and watched from the rearview mirror how Penelope stomped on the ground and walked to her group of friends. "Why did you lie to her?" Susan bombarded him with the first question. "Then what do you expect me to tell her? We are mates? She's a human." Ethan said calmly. "You could've said anything else." She fumed. "Susan. She was hitting on me. Even though I told her I'm your boyfriend
That guy was tall and strong. He didn't even let her think before he attacked her. She tried to scream but he covered her mouth and pulled her to her feet. She was in panic mode trying to fight him off but he was too damn strong for her. She was struggling wildly. Despite trying to control her, he was able to grab the door before putting it back in its place. Though it was broken, he set it in a way that the outsider won't know. Her screams were muffled. She couldn't even bite his hand because he was wearing gloves. "Easy," He said and her ears perked up. She had heard this voice before but she didn't know where. "Leumm gmmhh," (Let me go!) Her voice was muffled. The guy started to walk further into the house and her heartbeat quickened. She was struggling very hard but it was of no use. She would shift and attack him as soon as she got out of his hold. "Don't even think about shifting. I have got a gun with silver bullets. You would get heart," He warned darkly, and her heart
"Get off me!" Susan screamed as he pulled at her shirt. She clawed at his face and eyes making him groan in pain. He grabbed both of her wrists and slammed them on either side of her head before yanking her hands above her head and keeping them there with one of his hands. With his free hand, he grabbed her jaw trying to kiss her. She jerked her face to the side causing his lips to touch her cheek. "Stop! NO! LET GO!" She screamed, thrashing violently. She wanted to shift and let her wolf fight but his wolf could easily kill her. But then how could she let him do this to her? "Stop struggling. I asked you out thrice, Susan. I was crazy for you. I wanted you but what did you do huh? You rejected me each time and now you have a boyfriend! After I'm done with you your boyfriend will leave you and then you'll be mine," He said like a maniac. Leaning down kissing her jaw as she closed her eyes shut in disgust. Raw fear courses through her veins. She was terrified. "No! STOP! LET ME G
It took him a few seconds to realize that she was kissing him. And before she could pull back thinking that he didn't like it. Ethan threaded his fingers into her hair holding the back of her scalp as he kissed her back. He pecked her lips gently. They were soft and tasted like strawberries. Her hair was soft as well and her jasmine scent cocooned him. The sparks exploded at the touch. He kept kissing her gently before licking her lower lip. He grabbed her hair in a fist and tilted her face for better access. Her lips parted with a gasp due to the light tug at her hair. Ethan inserted his tongue into her mouth. Taking her off guard. Her eyes widened and a jolt of current ran down her spine when his tongue stroked hers. Susan was clueless as to what to do. It was so overwhelming and new to her. Ethan was an excellent kisser and she was drowning in his arms. She tried to respond. Her tongue gently caressed his and a grunt of satisfaction reverberated from deep within his chest as h
Susan wore her clothes and stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was ready for hiking. Ethan would be there any minute now. Ethan had stayed with her that night. He only left when Blair came back home and none of them told her anything. Ethan had called her twice every day to ask if she was doing okay. He was considerate and caring. Nathan hasn't shown up at the university and she wondered where he was. She had asked Ethan about it but he said she didn't need to worry about it and yesterday Nathan showed up at the university wrapped in bandages and whatnot. He only came to give an application and medical documents to get his one-month leave. Doctor told him to have bed rest for a month and when she saw him he also noticed her but Nathan avoided looking at her. He even seemed scared by her presence and she wondered why.She was aware that Ethan had beaten him badly but from his appearance it was obvious Ethan didn't stop there. When he left her house he might have gone to beat
They both gazed at the beautiful sky that glittered with shining stars. The sight was breathtaking and the cool breeze made the atmosphere even more calming. While Ethan gazed at the stars she stole a glance at him once in a while and she wondered why he looked so handsome. She always found him annoying before so what changed now? She likes him now. He saved her. He likes her. He was into her even before the mate bond but at that time she was just a challenge for him now he wanted to give their mate bond a chance. Susan was peering at him when he caught her and she abruptly looked away as if a deer caught in headlights. Susan gulped pretending to play with the thread on the tent while she found it a lot amusing. Ethan couldn't stop his smile. He was grinning goofily. She looked so flustered. Never in his life had he thought that Susan would look at him with adoration. She likes him. He could see it in her eyes. The girl has started to open up to him and he feels like he has achi
