Londyn
She couldn’t help but incite her own Mate into chasing her. She’d learned over the years with her sisters that Apple liked to run about and hunt many animals, but also enjoyed chasing her sister wolves all over the woods. She even enjoyed being chased by them; it was fun for Apple.
That entire dinner; an hour and a half of sitting next to their own Mate. He’d smiled right at her, talked easily about anything she asked, and he’d asked her about her photography business and her gallery. It seemed he already knew a fair bit about her from just being here in town. Listening to the locals, and she and Apple liked that he’d learned about them.
She’d pretty much tuned out the entire conversation with Slade and Ana. Her Mate’s scent was so very nice, and she was happy and enjoying sitting next to him holding his undivided attention. She was relaxed and happy.
She couldn’t stop smiling at him, and he’d told her she looked good in the dress she was wearing as well.
It was a retro vintage 1950’s swing dress with a sheer black lace sleeveless style top that had a sweetheart neckline. It was to Londyn a lovely shade of green, deep like a forest, and it was fitted to her waist and had a flared skirt. She liked the black trim accents of it as well. She’d paired it with knee-high black boots and had worn her black winter coat.
This was her normal style when out on a date. She didn’t like being normal, and blending in with everyone else. She also liked that 1950’s retro style. It was unique, like herself, she thought.
She was taking swing dancing classes, and really enjoyed that, and Yuri chuckled when she brought it up. She liked his laugh; it was deep and rich, and her rate quickened on hearing it.
She’d asked if he could dance, and he’d shaken his head ‘no’ and stated “I can not swing dance.”
She’d sighed a little only to have him tap her on the nose and state “Sounds like you enjoy it, I’d learn if it’s really fun and I had someone to partner with.”
“Oh, it’s lots of fun. It’s upbeat and energetic, you’re on the move all the time, a good little workout too.”
She smiled right at him and again he chuckled.
In that car park she’d turned and looked right at him, smiled at him. “I’ll teach you one move if you can catch me.” She’d grinned at him, and he’d actually snapped a hand out to grab onto her, he’d been fast, but she was faster and shot out of the way, had heard him laugh now “Oh, you want to play like that.” He called after her as she ran away from him.
She’d heard him come after her, as Zara called out her name, but ignored it, she was going to play with her Mate properly. It was all she wanted to do right that minute and Apple was happy and excited inside her mind to have Yuri chasing after them.
‘Londyn, don’t get carried away, remember he doesn’t know you’re his Mate. Sex is okay but do not lay Claire
claim to him in anyway. He will not like it. It could go badly wrong for you! Zara had mind-linked to her.
She’d huffed and disconnected the link, let Yuri hunt her for an hour before she let him snag her and pin her to a tree, smiled right up at him and then just pulled his mouth down to hers and kissed the hell out of him, until she was all hot and bothered. She wanted him and she knew it. She could even smell her own arousal, so she knew he could.
“Do you want to have sex?” she asked him outright.
He smiled right at her. “Normally I would say yes after a game like that,” he stated, and she frowned at him. “But I don’t know what rank you are, how old you are, or how Ana will feel about me touching one of her sisters. I certainly don’t think Maddie will approve of it,” he murmured.
His hand slid down her neck along that chain. “Are you wolfen?” he asked softly. “Would you be willing to take this necklace off for me to see what you really are?”
“Maybe,” she answered, “Is that important to you, that you know?”
“It kind of is, I don’t want to go ticking anyone off, certainly not a kitsune.” He shook his head.
Londyn smiled up at him. “I’m not kitsune.” She answered him and slid her hands down his chest. She was going to have him. He belonged to her and, so technically she could touch him at will, slid a hand all the way down to his pants and murmured “I wonder what you’ve got to give me.”
He smiled at her softly yet cheekily. “That’s enough, or we’ll both get carried away.” his mouth found hers for a soft lingering kiss, and she heard him zip his pants up and frown at him when he stepped back.
“Don’t you want to?” She asked.
“Yes,” he nodded. “I do. Most definitely, but I can’t have Ana be upset with Slade, because I bedded her little sister.”
Londyn huffed in annoyance. “She won’t care.”
“Hmm, I don’t know about that Londyn. So let’s not rush it.” his hand cupped her cheek. “I’ll tell you what beautiful, if Ana is willing to listen and understand all the things she needs to know, can…forgive Slade and us, Palmer and I… Then I will strip you completely naked and give you everything you want, for as long as you want it.”
She didn’t really like that first part about it all depending on Ana, but another part of her was drawn only to his words about giving her what she wanted. “Is that a proper deal, you’ll give me everything I want?”
He nodded. “Sate all your Alpha-blooded needs.” He smiled at her.
“That could take a while, all night.” She murmured, “and I might like things you don’t.”
He chuckled now and reached down to take her hand. “I like everything about sex,” He stated, and looked about the woods. “Do you happen to know where we are?”
“I do.” She nodded “Towns that way.” She pointed to his left and he smiled at her, and they headed off.
Londyn smiled, he held her hand the whole way back to town, and then he offered to drive her home. She didn’t say no because that just meant that she got to spend more time with him.
