The Girl He Marked by Laila Callaway novel Chapter 3

Xaden's POV.

Fortunately for me, Noelle's parents have already gone out by the time we come downstairs for breakfast.

After eating, I suggest we go over to my house for the day. Noelle is all shy again when we arrive at mine.

My mark is clear on her neck, and I haven't made any attempt to cover hers on my neck. She's embarrassed that my parents will know what we did last night.

I'm just glad I didn't have to look her dad in the eye this morning. Something tells me that wouldn't have gone down well.

Mum squeals with excitement when she sees our necks.

'Congratulations!' She gushes. 'This is wonderful.'

My dad groans and rolls his eyes.

'You've set her off again. Congrats guys,' he says, sighing heavily. 'I wish you weren't growing up so fast. Before I know it, Talen and Malika will be meeting their mates.'

Noelle and I go for a run in the afternoon, making the most of our time together before school tomorrow.

Later on, I drop her home, but I make sure to stay in the car. I don't want her dad to see the mark on her neck and then have me nearby.

The next two weeks feel like the shortest and longest weeks of my life. We've all been busy with schoolwork and the excitement for Christmas has well and truly settled in school.

Everyone's been planning Axel's birthday party. He's having a day—party with his family first, and then his parents are letting him have the house to himself for a house party in the evening.

I've already bought a ton of alcohol for it. Luke, Nick and Finlay won't stop talking about it and Rory has invited her mate.

Noelle has been both the most amazing mate and the most annoying little tease. We've been staying over at each other's houses, and she keeps teasing me. She touches me, gets me hard and plays with me, and then says that I have to wait a little longer before she'll have sex with me.

She's punishing me for my past, and I know I deserve it but man, it's killing me. She keeps wearing sexy underwear or worse, nothing to bed. She presses her naked body against mine and even lets me touch her.

She lets me pleasure her and make her come, but as soon as I try and initiate sex, she just laughs and tells me I have to wait longer.

It's been torture, but it's also making me so excited for when we finally do it. Sure, I hate being teased, but I kind of like the build—up. It means that, when we finally do sleep together, it'll be epic.

Noelle stays at my house on Friday night. Axel's party is in a week and we're looking over presents to get him.

She's already shown me what she's wearing to the party. Let's just say, I really hope we've had sex by then. It's going to be impossible to keep my hands off her when she looks that good and she's all mine, wearing my mark.

I wait in bed for Noelle, wondering how far she's going to take the teasing tonight. I'm already hard when she finally turns out the bathroom light and steps into my room.

She slides off her t—shirt, leaving her completely naked beneath. My eyes widen at the sight of her perfect, ebony body. Her breasts are the perfect size, like they were made for my hands.

Her hips flare out in the sexiest way and don't even get me started on her ass. Just perfect.

'Guess what' She says as she climbs onto the bed.

She pulls the covers back, leaving me exposed in my boxers. She grabs my erection and squeezes it through the material. My hips buck upwards, pushing my cock further into her hand.

She swings her leg over me, so that she is straddling my waist.

'What' I manage to choke out the word.

Noelle leans down, letting her breasts sway in my face.

'I want to complete the bond tonight,' she whispers. 'No teasing, no playing…I want all of you.'
