The Alpha's Mate

Chinese food

 Going down stairs after Damien and I calm down, he heads strait for the kitchen. Typical of a guy to head strait where the food is. I decide to go into the living room and see what everyone’s doing. Jace is sitting on the couch watching Stand by Me.

 “You always did love that movie.” He must not have known I was there because he jumped.

 “Dang it Scarlett! You know I jump when people sneak up on me” he looks like a little kid when he pouts and I can’t help it, I burst out laughing.

 I was just about to reply to Jace when arms wrapped around me from behind. If it was anyone else I would have flipped, but the tingles let me know who it is. Heck, if I would have flipped I’d be scared of what Damien’s reaction would be if it was another guy.

 “What’s going through your mind baby girl?” Damien whispers in my ear, then places a soft kiss on my neck.

 “How you would react if another guy did this to me.”

 No secrets, when we mate he’ll be able to read my mind anyways so I might as well get use to the idea of him knowing what I’m thinking.

 “They wouldn’t live to see tomorrow” he growls in my ear, and he tightens his arms around me slightly.

 Smiling to myself because of his reaction, I unwrap his arms from around me and take his hand leading him to the couch. I know that he expects me to sit on his lap but I don’t feel like hearing Jace complain, so I sit next to him and put my legs over his lap. I’m glad that this just seems normal. I could get use to this.

 Half way through the movie the doorbell rings, and when Damien comes back he’s carrying Chinese food.

 “Hey Scarlett, looks like your man knows what type of food to get you to suck up.” Laughing I throw a pillow at Jace and pull the table over so Damien can put the food down.

 “I think your brother will come in handy if you’re ever mad at me.”  Damien reaches over and does a ‘bro handshake’ with Jace while I sit there shocked.

My brother and my mate are basically agreeing to team up against me. Crossing my arms at them I get my food and sit on the other end of the couch away from the guys. They must find my reaction funny because they both burst out laughing when I pout. Damien didn’t laugh very long when I sat on the other side of the couch, he didn’t very much like the distance between us.

 I look over at the clock and realize that it’s two in the morning. Jace went upstairs to bed a long time ago and me and Damien have been downstairs watching random movies.

 “Well, it’s two in the morning and I’m beat. So I’m taking my mate upstairs to bed” Damien informs no one in particular turning off the TV and coming over to me.

 “And what if your mate doesn’t want to go?” I have no complaints to going to bed, I’m just trying to mess with him.

 “Well my little mate, “ he lifts me over his shoulder in less than a minute and starts heading toward the stairs, “doesn’t seem to have a choice now does she.”

 Damien reaches his bedroom door and throws me on the bed when we’re inside. Closing and locking the door Damien takes his shirt off and lays down next to me. Pulling me into his side he settles down to fall asleep.

 “Well your mate can always put you in the dog house” I could never let anyone else have the last word, I always had to have it.

 Damien laughs a little, and soon his breathing regulates and his arm around me loosens the slightest bit. He’s asleep, just looking at him seeing now has butterflies in my stomach. I don’t think this feeling will go away. With that thought in my head I close my eyes and soon fall asleep.
