Laurie let herself think of how Kate always, always without fault, did everything she could think of to make Laurie happy. She almost never refused Laurie anything. She helped with everything she could think of, she was gentle and kind and she made Laurie laugh more than she ever had in her life; not to mention she almost killed someone trying to protect her.
There was also something to be said about how Laurie felt about Kate. No matter how she tried to look at it, Kate made her feel things she had never felt before. To an extreme. Laurie was never one to let anyone get as close to her as she let Kate. But there was a sense of need to be near her and an almost longing feeling when she left. It was one of many re

Laurie leans back in shock, both eyebrows raising. Out of all the things Kate could have said, she was not expecting that. "You need to do what?""I need to bite you," Kate repeats herself, eyes trained on Laurie's face as she tries to gauge her reaction.Laurie blinks twice before asking, "Like, bite bite?"Kate nods."Why?"Kate shakes her head, "I don't really know why, but a connection is formed when it happens. I'm not quite sure how it works."Laurie takes a breath to center herself before speaking. "What if I don't want any of this? I mean, do I even have a choice? Do you?" She asks.She wasn't trying to hurt the other woman but all of this was starting to feel like a lot and she needed to know.A sad smile makes its way onto Kate's lips. "I don't have a choice, no. But you do." Kate knew

Laurie looks up, startled from her baking when she hears the doorbell ring. She drops the cookie cutter in her hand, leaving the cookie dough she had been shaping in favor of running towards the door in excitement and scrambling to get it open.As soon as she swings the door open, Laurie is sent stumbling back as she's tackled into a hug by an enthusiastic, energy-filled Lydia Summers."Laurie! Oh my god, I missed you!" The other woman mumbles into her neck, arms wrapped tight around her best friend."Hey, Lyd.""It's been almost two months and I had no one to talk to." The woman says, exaggerating as she keeps her arms around her friend."Ouch." Laurie hears the mildly offended tone and looks over Lydia's shoulder to see Casey Lane standing about a foot behind Lydia.An amused smile makes its way to Laurie's lips as she notices how 'bundled up'
Discovery of You Chapter Fifteen
Kate was tired.It had been two weeks since she had seen or even heard from her mate and she wasn't doing too well.The first few days were somewhat manageable. She snapped at almost everyone about the smallest issues and she felt constantly on edge, but it had been manageable.However, the longer she went without any form of contact with Laurie, the more she started to lash out. She was short-tempered, aggressive, and just plain exhausted. After a week, she chose to see her pack members as little as possible to avoid saying or doing anything in her current state that she would regret later.Two weeks in and Kate had not left her house in seven days. She had Iris and sometimes Isaac Or Connor take over most of the duties she had, having them report to her instead of going out. She trusted them the most and they were the ones who understood the unique situation that she was in.
Discovery of You Chapter Sixteen
Laurie gives Lydia and Casey one last hug before letting them leave with the promise that they would be back as soon as they had the time.Her friends had stayed for three days and as much as she missed them and loved having them with her, their presence did nothing to quell her need to go to Kate. The woman was all she could think about and the longer she stayed away, the more she felt the need to see her.Laurie stands by her door watching as her friends drive away, leaving her alone with her thoughts once again. She enters her house as soon as their car is out of sight, heading for the kitchen to make herself some tea; needing something to calm her racing mind.Laurie had done a lot of self-reflecting over the last few days and she had yet to come to any sort of decision. Laurie was stumped. She didn't know what to do. It had been well over two weeks since she had asked Kate for time to think and in that

Iris took a quick moment to think about what it was that she could say. On one hand, Kate probably didn't want her to tell Laurie about what she was going through for fear of influencing her decision. But on the other hand, Iris knew telling Laurie would do no harm. She should have been told in the first place and with the way both women were acting, all of this would only end in one way. It looked to her like Laurie had already made up her mind; whether she knew it or not."No. She's not okay." Iris sighs.Laurie straightens up in her seat, suddenly feeling an overwhelming amount of worry at the thought of Kate being hurt in any way. "What happened? She was fine the last time I saw her.""This thing you guys are doing, not seeing each other, it's taking a toll on her," Iris says, shifting to move her seat closer to Laurie who was listening to her with rapt attention. "I don't know why but it's not good for

Laurie was inspecting Kate, trying to see if there were any other physical signs that she was in any kind of pain. Other than the bags under her eyes and the tired way she seemed to move.Kate, in turn, was simply looking at Laurie, trying to see if she could read anything about what the shorter woman would do or say. Surely having Laurie come to her was a good thing. She didn't think Laurie would come over if she wasn't at least ready to talk.A small smile makes its way onto Laurie's lips as she sees Kate stifle a yawn."Sorry, I'm just a little-""Tired. I know." Laurie cuts her off, standing from her place on the chair. "Why don't you go get some sleep. We can talk later.""No no, it's fine. It's only 3 o'clock, I'm not tired." Kate stands, panicking a little at the thought of Laurie leaving and trying to shake off her tiredness, not wanting Laurie to go. Having

Kate wakes slowly, shifting a little as she feels a weight laying on top of her and frowning as she is unable to move her left arm properly. She opens her eyes and is met with a face full of blonde hair. A smile makes its way on her lips as she remembers what or rather who that weight was.Laurie was still asleep. Practically on top of Kate now, having drifted closer in her sleep. She had one arm tucked under herself while the other was wrapped around Kate, her hand holding Kate's shirt in a tight grip. Her face was still tucked in Kate's neck, sleeping soundly as the other woman slowly started to wake up.Kate reaches up with her free hand, removing it from its place around her mate's waist to gently smooth her hair down, feeling slightly amused as Laurie barely even twitched as she did. She must have been exhausted.Kate craned her neck a little to look at the clock on her bedside table, careful not to jos

Laurie felt the rumble on Kate's chest and leaned back to look at her, using her elbow for support. "Hey, what's wrong?" She asks, noticing Kate's shift in mood.Kate does her best to appear calmer than she's actually feeling. "Nothing. It's nothing.""It's something if you're all growly," Laurie says eyebrow raised. She could tell something was bothering the woman and she wasn't going to let up until she found out what it was. As much as she appreciated it, she was tired of having Kate make herself feel bad trying to make her comfortable. It was her turn now, to make sure Kate was okay."It's nothing. Everything's fine." Kate tries to reassure Laurie. Although, it felt more like she was telling herself. She was feeling a mix of emotions and she wasn't quite sure how to handle it.Kate didn't think something as simple as Laurie's scent being slightly different would bother her so much, b

Laurie nods, placing soft kisses on Kate's temple. "Yes, you feel so good."Kate rocks her hips forward, letting out a shuddering breath as her mates center grinds against her thigh. Laurie let out a sinful sound at the contact."Laurie are you-" "If you ask me if I'm sure one more time, I'm going to walk out of here." Laurie threatens before promptly pulling Kate back down for a kiss. Kate repeats the motion harder this time, moaning in surprise as she feels Laurie move her leg, her thigh putting a delicious pressure on Kate's center."Don't stop." Laurie gasps, tucking her face into Kate's neck. Kate nods against her, breathing heavily as she starts to grind her hips down at a steady pace. She feels Laurie's hold tighten and can't help the growl that escapes her lips as the smaller blonde bites down on her shoulder. Everything felt so good, Kate was working her body so well, her hands and lips were everywhere, kissing and biting and grabbing at all the right places. Laurie wasn

Kate froze for a second, not quite ready to hear those specific words come out of Laurie’s mouth. “Kiss me.” Laurie repeats, this time sounding more like a demand as she tries again to pull Kate closer, weaving her hand through her hair.Kate snaps out of her shock and allows herself to be pulled in, stopping just a hair's breadth away from Laurie’s lips. Kate wanted to kiss her so badly, but She just didn’t know how she would react once she did. Kate wasn’t sure she’d be able to stop.“Kiss me.” Laurie whispers against her lips and she does, her resolve breaking as she closes the distance between them and meets Laurie in a soft, almost chaste kiss. Kate leans back just a little only to be pulled back into a deeper kiss, this time being kept in place by Laurie’s hand.Kate lets out a low growl as she feels Laurie tug on her hair as the kiss gets more heated. Laurie takes her bottom lip between her teeth and tugs playfully, pulling Kate even closer. The hand on Laurie’s thigh inches h
Discovery of You Chapter Twenty Three
Upon hearing her mate's consent, Kate slowly let one hand trail down to Laurie's waist while the other moved to cup the side of her neck, gently coaxing her to tilt her head back. For a split second, Kate thought about how it would feel to sink her teeth into the pale expanse of her mate's neck and mark her. She quickly shook herself from the thought and started to slowly project her scent onto Laurie.She gently brushed her face against Laurie's neck, taking note of how the hands on her lower back tightened their hold. She took her time with that spot before moving to the other side, letting out a quiet groan as one of Laurie's hands moved to slide through her hair. Kate was holding very little back at this point and Laurie's responsiveness was only encouraging her to keep going. All she could think about now was making sure her scent covered Laurie completely, or at least enough that no one would ever question who she was to Kate.If she couldn't claim Laurie, this would do for now.

Laurie is quick to notice Kate's reaction and promptly grabs her face in her hands, forcing Kate to look at her and not the dresser on the other side of the room. Even as she does, the brunette's gaze is fixed on the spot just to the left of Laurie's face."Kate, I need you to look at me." Laurie urges. Kate was trying her best to take deep calming breaths but because Laurie was so close, she was all Kate could hone in on. It was the same intoxicating scent of vanilla, and what she had come to know as lavender, that she associated with her mate. But it was mixed with a sort of citrus and pine smell that Kate knew was from Laurie's friends. Of course, in her admittedly irrational state, that only served to unsettle her more.Kate complies with the request though, jaw clenching and teeth grinding as she struggles to keep her cool. She could never deny Laurie of anything but was painfully aware of her mate comfortably perched on her lap as if she h

Kate searched Laurie's face for any sign of doubt or fear, only to find none at all. Laurie looked at her with trusting eyes and Kate was thrown for a loop. "Laurie, I wasn't serious. I don't have to do that. I'll be fine." Kate says, shifting so she was now leaning on her elbow, still facing the smaller blonde. Of course, she didn't know how she would handle everything she was feeling at the moment, but she would figure it out. Laurie had just started to show acceptance and actual desire to be with her, she would not risk any of that for something as trivial as being annoyed by her scent. Even if it was killing her inside."But if it'll help you then I don't see why not." Laurie insisted, straightening up so she was now sitting as she talked. "Kate, I'm not blind. I can see this is bothering you, just let me help. Please." Kate didn't know how much longer she could put up with this. She could see that Laurie was serious and there was nothing but sincerity in the
