Sweet Temptation, N. J. [ebooks children's books free TXT] 📗

my answer. I counted to five: one, two, three, four, five.

“Congrats, bro!” That came from Jacks and Peter. Both of them were members of my pack. Dan was my second in command but he was still speechless. After some time, he recovered as we all laughed at his face and offered his congratulations as well.

“Thanks, guys. I’ll present you to her during lunch.” I said as we all went to the fitness room.

I was really looking forward to present my little mate around. I couldn’t wait to present her to my parents as well. I just hoped that she whatever she felt, she will share with me and we’ll sort them together. For the first time after a long time, I was happy. I needed to talk to my mom also about the mating rituals because I didn’t want to wait any longer and give her time to change her mind, but first, I wanted her to be comfortable around me and everyone I cared about.

 

Turning point

 

Mandy’s P.O.V:

For the first time in a very long time, I didn’t care what everyone would think of me. I knew Logan was a popular guy around the school but I wanted him anyway. I truly wanted him and that scared the hell out of me. Me wanting a guy? I laughed at how much I changed in such a short time. But something about Logan pulled me to him. It’s like I can’t help myself.

“Stay away from my man!” I turned around and see the girl from gym glaring at me. If looks could kill I’ll be six feet under by now.

“Last time I checked, Logan was single”, I replied with a saccharine smile even though I wanted to choke her. How dare she call him “my Logan?” The nerve of the girl.

Before she could answer back, the teacher dismissed us. As much as I wanted to scratch her face, I wanted to see Logan more. It was going to be lunch anyway and I will finally get the chance to ask him my questions.

“Hey, baby!” Logan was waiting for me by the door. I went willingly into his open arms.

“I missed you,” I said into his arms. He took my bag and murmured in my ears in a voice low enough for me to hear.

“I miss you too, Mandy.” Logan said as he kissed my forehead. “Let’s go, I’m starving.” As if on cue, my stomach growled. Logan laughed at that while I blushed.

“Looks like I’m not the only one who’s hungry,” he said but by the way he looked at me, I wasn’t sure if he was hungry for food or something else. His eyes turned bluish black again and his gaze dropped to my mouth. My throats was suddenly dry, I swallowed hard. His eyes followed the movement before they came back to my mouth. I felt hot all over again.

Someone cleared their throat behind us, it broke the spell between Logan and I. Reluctantly, Logan averted his gaze and glared at whoever interrupted us.

“Why don’t you present us now?” I turned around and looked at a piercing pair of cool blue ice. My breath caught in my throat. He was tall and lean with a devilish air around him. He had messy blond hair that looked like he ran his hand in them. He flashed me a megawatt smile but somehow it did nothing to my insides. Logan tightened his hold on my shoulder and tugged me closer to him.

“Mandy, this is my brother Dan. Dan, meet my mate Mandy.” Logan did the presentation with clenched teeth. Was he jealous of his own brother? Wait! He just said that word “mate” again in that possessive voice of his.

I liked possessive Logan. In fact, no one had ever been possessive toward me. I’m going to keep Logan, I thought to myself.

“Nice to meet you, Dan”. I said and offered my hand for a hand shake but Logan slapped Dan’s hand when his hand almost shook mine.

I look at Logan curiously while Dan just laughed.

“Keep your hand for yourself”. He growled. Wow! The guy was very possessive. Not giving me time to answer, he directed me to the direction of the cafeteria.

I saw they have a table for themselves. I was full of hot guys. Jesus! I almost fanned my face. Never in my life have I ever seen a table packed with testosterone. It was overwhelming.

The guys all turn in our direction when they saw us and called Logan. He took a seat as they made room for him. Where would I sit? He pulled me on his lap. I guess that answered my question.

“Guys, meet my mate, Mandy”. He announced proudly. I blushed at the approving gaze I received.

“Welcome to the family, Mandy”. That came from Dan.

“Lucky man! You got a gorgeous mate.” That one came from a dark haired guy. He had haze eyes. I blushed more furiously.

His friends made me feel welcome. I was so happy. I knew my parents will love him too. Logan fed me the whole time and the guys didn’t comment even though they were looking at him curiously. Maybe he was not used to do that or I’m special? Either way I was happy to have him.

Feeling bold, I fed him as well and he kissed my cheek afterward. I wanted him to kiss my lips though. As if he could read my mind, he leaned in my ear and whispered in slightly husky voice.

“Later, Mandy”. He watched me with intent eyes as he said that. His eyes promised much more than kisses. I felt wet in between my legs. I’ve never felt such attraction toward any guy I dated before, but Logan didn’t scare me anymore.

I just nodded as I couldn’t answer him. I felt him grow hard beneath my thighs. I squirmed as if to get more friction.

“Don’t move, Mandy”. He said in a pleading voice. I felt powerful at his pained voice, but decided to be merciful.

Thankfully, we had to go to class. Sighing, Logan took me to class while he held my hand this time. I was beginning to be used to the stares we received.

The teacher made me introduce myself to the class and I sat next to Logan. There was nothing much to do as it was nearly the end of the school year, so we could do whatever we wanted in Ms. Jane’s class.

 

Logan’s P.O.V.

I felt Mandy’s eyes on me in Arts. I knew she wanted to ask questions. As we had free time, I prepared myself to answer whatever she wanted to know. As far as she was concerned, she seemed totally clueless about werewolves’ existence. I needed to give her some time. But one thing was for sure: I’m never going to let her go. I waited patiently for her questions and concentrated to keep myself in check because her proximity was not helping my lust on little bit.

“Logan? Can I ask you something?” Ah, it didn’t take too long.

“Anything you want, honey”. She smiled at that. She scooted closer to me and placed her head on my shoulder.

“Why your eyes change color?” I didn’t answer right away. Her sent was distracting me.

“Logan?” She asked laughing. One of her hands came resting on my thigh. I felt myself grew hard.

Not wanting to beat around the bush, I told her the truth, praying she won’t be scared.

“Because I’m a shifter.” I looked at her closely to her reaction. Her eyes grew wide.

“Really? Like a big dog or something?” She was actually excited. I let out the breath I
 wasn’t aware I was holding.

“A werewolf. You’re one too, Mandy”. I watched her face, still no fear or anything close to revulsion.

“Do you believe me?” I was actually curious about her answer to that seeing that her parents hadn’t told anything about her heritage yet.

“I do”, she said it in a solemn voice, but for me, that simple “I do” meant more, like she was accepting to be my mate.

I had to fight my urge to take her away and have my wicked ways with her. She was tantalizing me with those soft inviting lips of her. And her eyes! Jesus, I had to close my eyes because otherwise, I’ll do something I might regret later. After taking a deep breath, I took a sniff of her sent which was mixed with her arousal. I grew immediately hard again. I looked at her and her eyes turned a deep shade of green. Damn it all! I couldn’t resist the invitation there. I bent down to kiss when suddenly someone was shouting Mandy’s name angrily.

“Amanda!” We both turned around to see Tracy standing in the door of Arts class. She marched right at Mandy’s direction, her person radiating hatred. The whole class was silent. I stood in front of Mandy because I didn’t want Tracy to get to her but Mandy told me calmly:

“I can handle her, Logan. Don’t worry”. Of course I was worried. Tracy had a cutting tongue and Mandy looked so fragile.

“Really, I’ll be fine.” She said placing a soothing hand on my face.

I searched her eyes to see if she was telling the truth or was just being brave. She let me look and when she saw that I believed her, she turned to face Tracy. Before she even could form a word, Tracy was pulling at her hair. Her long beautiful midnight black hair was everywhere. I was ready to tear apart Tracy’s head, but a look from Dan across the room stopped me.

“She got this”, he mouthed.

“You bitch, who do you think you are getting everyone's  attention in MY school?” Tracy spat in her face. Not about to let Tracy get away, Mandy threw a punch in her stomach which had Tracy immediately release her hold on her hair. She stumbled on the floor, clutching her stomach.

Everyone in the class was cheering while Ms. Jane pretended she didn’t see anything.

My Mandy was a big girl, no one messes with her. I felt my heart jumping with joy. I loved her all the more. Yeah, I love her.

She turned to look at me and gave me one of her beautiful smile. She was amazing. I couldn’t wait to tell my parents and our pack.

Tracy’s friends were helping her. “This is not the end.” She threatened on last time before getting out. The bell just rang at that time.

I scooped her up in my arms and twirled her. She was laughing while she held on to my neck with both hands. When I put her down, I kissed her softly on the lips. I grew immediately hard at the taste of her. She tasted better than my favorite dessert. She was pliant in my arms; but as much as I liked kissing her, we needed to get going. I picked up her back and we both went to the parking lot. We held hand as we walked and everyone was applauding in our direction, some students cheered as we walked out of the school. I looked at her and she had the biggest smile I have ever seen on her face, I was so proud of her. As if sensing my eyes, she turned her head and squeezed
