Claiming His Tempting Mate novel Chapter 15

Savannah's POV

"Where are you taking me exactly?" This is the 7th time I am asking. But this man beside me didn't give any heed to my question yet kept driving which is driving me crazy. Sneering, I turned my head to look at the side. It's better to ignore this man. I must say his temptation is unbearable but somehow his arrogance really gets on my nerves.

I closed my eyes, inhaling the cold air filling my nostrils. The car we are sitting in has no roof so I can view the blue sky above. The seat was so comfortable as I leaned more into it. I have agree, riding McLaren Elva is a greatest experience. Afterall who could always get the chance to ride this exclusive sports car? I guess I am a lucky one. As I was about to drift in my dreamland when I felt a warm thing touch my thigh. I opened my eyes only to see a giant hand cupping my thigh and rubbing it slowly. The thin layer of material in between is not helping either.

"What are you doing?" I glared at him.

He didn't look at me but I can clearly see his smirk forming on his lips "what?"

I rolled my eyes. Is he trying to look innocent? Because he could be anything but innocent. Anger bubbled inside me. First he grabbed mom's attention then he didn't reply to my question and now he is acting like an innocent being. Nerve of this man.

~ He looked sexy~ Red's voice rang in my mind.

~Shut up. Can't you see he is ignoring my question?~ I barked in my head.

~ you are too loudly ~ Red rolled her eyes. My eyes widened. Is she my wolf or his? Because at this moment I felt like my own wolf is the first enemy. I blocked her immediately not wanting to hear anymore nonsense.

Then I heard a chuckle beside me "frustrated?"

"Shut up" I snapped.

"What did I do? It's your own wolf"

My eyes widened in an instant. How did he know about it? I stared at him with disbelief. He glanced sideways before chuckling again.

"I can feel her excitement. She is more open minded than you"

"What did you say?" How dare he.

"Isn't it? At least she says it true when her human form does not want to accept it" his words hit the soft spot of my heart. I pressed my lips and refrained myself to reply anything. Red is always excited whenever Hardwick is with us. Though I always give in at the end, I still have some restrictions for myself. The betrayal of the past always haunts me whenever I try to open myself.

His hand roamed in a slow circle over my thigh. I don't want to admit it but he'll, it feels really good when he touches me. I felt like all the cells of my body had awakened again. I glared at his hand which was almost covering my slim thigh. How big is he? He can grab my thigh with just one hand. Shaking my head I pushed his hand away.. suddenly I felt coldness on my skin.

"If you really want to touch then touch yours" I snapped.

"I am already touching what's mine" that was his reply before placing his hand again. And I thought he would stop? Fuck me, no mater how much I hate to admit but I liked the way he touches me. Wonderful, now my own body is the traitor one. For the rest of the ride I did not speak, nor did he say anything. It was almost 6 in the evening when the car finally stopped.

"We have reached?" I looked around but couldn't find anything. Why did he stop suddenly in the middle?

He didn't reply but shutting down the engine he got out of the car before walking towards my side. He opened the door then stretched his hand. I looked at his hand then placed mine. Once I stand on my feet I can hear the sound of waves. And immediately my eyes widened.

Sea? Oh my god, fucking beach? Excitement runs through every cell of my body. He took me to fucking beach? I looked at him and found him always gazing at those dominating brown orbs.

"Excited?" He smirked like he sensed the changing of my body reaction.

"It's a beach?" Seriously I know it is but what the hell, I want to confirm it from him.

"I thought you would like this" he tugged my body towards him and curled his arm around my waist. His masculine patchouli smell filled my nostrils. God, his woody and earthy smells drove me crazy until I lost all my senses. I took a deep breath to calm my heart.

Calm down, calm down. I recited these words inwardly.

"Ready?" I heard him ask again. I nodded my head and heaved a sigh.

He took me to the side and as I walked I could see the tiny shine of light a little far away. As we walked closer the light became wider and I gasped. I could not believe it. There's a tiny path which was filled with string lights on each side and in the middle there was a tent. He led me towards the tent and the decorated table inside the tent came into view. Dishes , napkins and glasses are beautifully decorated on the table with scented candles and a bunch of rose flowers in the middle.

"This...." I was speechless. This kind of arrangement was something I never expected. Especially not from the man beside me.

"You like it?" He asked, smiling down at me.

I looked at him with astonishment, "I..." Biting my lips I nodded "I love it. It's so beautiful" and this is true. A fucking truth that flattered my heart.

"Good, I am glad to hear that" he pulled a chair for me. Thanking me, I sat down.

"You did this? All of this?" I asked.

He nodded as he sat in front of me. I looked at his handsome face. This is not what I craved for such a long time. To go on dates with my mate and he becoming the prince charming for me. But all those wishes never came true until today. I craved it when I was Avan's mate. But he always stayed busy or he would say it's improper for us to go on dates when others don't know about us being mates. But now I have not expected nor had any fantasy of having a date night. Yet, it still gets fulfilled like a dream comes true. Have I ever expected something like this to happen?

The answer will always be a big No. But now it felt like everything changed. Maybe for good.

Clearing my throat I blinked a few times "why did you put so much effort only for this date?"

"For you" that was his reply. There's no hesitation nor any rush. It was just two tiny words yet it somehow managed to dig deeply in my heart.

For me?

"Why?"

He gazed at me "why not? You are mine and it's my responsibility to make you happy. Though our interactions are just for a short period of time but I will do everything that makes you smile"

A strange feeling started crawling inside my heart "you just did it to make me smile?"

"Your happiness matters to me. No matter how hard or efforts it takes, I will do it in a heartbeat"

~ And you thought he was annoying ~ comes Red's mocking in my head. ~ he is our mate and he is taking all efforts to make us happy. Go kiss him ~

I shook her away not wanting to cause any disturbance. Then a smile suddenly formed on my lips "thank you. It's beautiful but I never expected it" I felt blush hitting my face.

He smirked "should we order?"

I nodded. Just then a man who looked young wearing a waiter's uniform walked inside. I was surprised. I haven't seen anyone before we entered the tent but now where did he come from out of nowhere?

"Should we serve master?" He asked, lowering his head.

Hardwick nodded "get it done"

The waiters nodded then gestured his hand and a few more waiters followed in holding trays. I watched as they started serving the food before leaving the tent. Once they disappeared from the view I heard Hardwick's voice again.
