Chapter 36

Lola's POV
Our lips synced in a perfect rhythm, passionate yet urgent. He nipped my lower lip, taking it between his teeth and bit gently causing a pleasant chill to run through me.
He raised my hands, securing them above my head, his lips devouring my own. The kiss became more heated, his tongue twirling against mine in an act of dominance, showing me that even in a simple kiss he was in control. His other hand roamed my body, trailing down to grasp my ass and I moaned in response
"Jake." I whispered out of breath, staring into his eyes that were now a deep green, my chest heaving up and down. I bit my lips stifling another moan as he pressed himself against me and my breath hitched feeling the large bulge in his pants
"I want you so bad love." He murmured lowly, planting kisses along my collarbone, kissing down my neck, his tongue coming out in hot licks as he reached my mark. Fuck.
My insides clenched and I felt a throbbing ach in between my legs. He paused all of a sudden, pulling back slightly, his entire body tensed smelling my arousal
"Mine." He growled, his lips attacking mine in a demanding manner, and I responded just the same. I didn't know where my rise of confidence came from, but all I knew was that it was just there.
He kneaded my breasts through the material of the dress moving from one to the other, the soft moans I let out blended with his intense growls. It wasn't until his hand moved under my dress, slowly reaching the place I wanted him to touch the most that he stopped feverishly, realization dawning onto his features
I whined, bringing my face closer to his neck and nibbled his earlobe, daring him to continue.
"Lola," He breathed out, his voice coming out as strained, fighting his inner beast
"Don't stop." I whispered, the desire evident in my tone
"Are you sure? I won't be able to stop once I'm started." He was staring at me, searching for even a slightest pinch of hesitation, but there was none.
"Make me yours." That's all it took for him to lose all the last bit of control be was holding back. Our clothes scattered on the floor as Jake laid me on the bed, torturing me sweetly with that exquisite mouth of his
"Fucking beautiful." He growled, placing kisses up my inner thigh, making heat pool between my legs.
I fisted my hand in his hair, throwing my head backward and moaned loudly as he skillfully worked his magic. He took his sweet time, enjoying my cries of pleasure, making me reach heights I've never reached before
'I love you' He said as he made love to me, his voice ringing in my mind for the first time
It was strange and unexpected when I was able to feel his emotions and hear his thoughts. We became one, two bodies and one soul, or as his kinds calls it, mated.
I woke up the next morning with a hand wrapped around my torso, and I smiled to myself enjoying the feeling of waking up next to him. I could get used to this.
"Go back to sleep." He grumbled, if possible bringing me even closer to him, my head resting on the rigid muscles of his chest
"Morning." I croaked out, fidgeting slightly so I can get a glimpse of him. A blush burnt my face hearing him groan, his member poking my thigh
"Sweetheart, if you keep on doing that then we're going to have a problem getting out of this bed." He huskily edged on, his hand finding its way to my bum. I shivered at the sensations running up and down my spine, images of last night coming to life in my head
I swallowed unevenly and tried to get up but bit my lip feeling a sting. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Jake's smirk, satisfied with his accomplishment. I don't think I'll be able to walk properly right now, but I won't be telling him that of course
"How are you feeling?" I expected to find him grinning cheekily, but instead the look of his face was that of concern. His expression matched that of mine last night when I saw his size.
"A little sore." I spoke truthfully. I watched as he sat up straight, the covers dropping dangerously low, and as agonizing as it was, I kept my eyes focused on his face
"You're everything I've ever asked for." He murmured, his eyes softening, his fingers playing with strands of my hair that probably looked like a bird's nest
I pushed myself in a sitting position, leaning in to place a light kiss on his lips. He responded instantly, his hand tangling through my hair and pulled me closer, my nipples grazing his chest which earned me a low growl on his behalf
"We better take a shower or we'll be late to breakfast." He muttered pulling away. I grinned looking into his now dark irises, noting his arousal. I stifled a giggle and nodded, detangling myself from the sheets and stood up, not giving him a second glance as I walked into the bathroom, purposely swaying my hips, his quick footsteps only making my grin widen
"Fuck breakfast, I'll be eating something much more delicious." He cupped my heat, his hard on poking my ass.
Looks like this is going to be a very long shower
Suffice it to say, Jake and I spent a lot more time than intended in the shower. Once we entered the living room, I definitely caught the sly smirk on Mark and Mia's faces, both seeming to scan us from bottom to top.
"Someone's glowing today." Mia teased, the wicked twinkle in her eyes showing how much she yearned for the juicy details
"How was your first night together?" I inwardly groaned, knowing Mark's intentions. He wanted to confirm his thoughts by tripping either Jake and I into saying something without noticing
"Exquisite." Jake gave my hand a light squeeze
"Yeah, the entire floor could hear Lola's screams." Mark smirked devilishly, his eyes shimmering in glee. My eyes widened in disbelief and my mouth hung open at his sudden confession.
"Huh?" I spluttered, unable to formulate the right words. I probably looked like a gaping fish at a seashore, desperately in need of water. But instead of water I needed some sort of conformation that what he's saying isn't true.
That's when he burst into fits of laughter, dropping onto the sofa and clutching his stomach.
"You should've seen your face." He howled in laughter. Realizing that Jake and Mia were laughing as well, I crossed my arms over my chest and shot them a death glare
"Oh trust me, it is." He snorted, finally recovering from his laughing fit
"This isn't funny!" I huffed, annoyed by their traitorous indulgence with Mark. That son of a gun
"Are you done?" I demanded, not finding the situation funny at all. I felt Jake's hot breath on my ear and shivered involuntary
"Cool down love, he's just joking. Besides, I don't mind them hearing those sexy sounds you make when they know I'm the reason behind them." Holy crap, how am I supposed to keep the images out of my head now?
"See, I told you they sealed the deal." Mark had the audacity to say that out loud, earning him a smack from Mia
"Stop embarrassing her!" She hissed, her lips set in a grim line. I couldn't be more relieved to have Mark here, she always seems to come in and rescue whenever Mark can't keep his mouth shut.
"Mark." Jake warned noticing my discomfort. I didn't understand why my best friends were talking about my sex life in the first place. It's super weird and awkward. But knowing Mark, he probably put a bet on us hence his ecstatic behavior
Mark only snorted, sitting back rather comfortable on the sofa. Seriously, how did this guy become general
'I ask myself the same thing,' Jake voice flooded my head. Ugh, don't tell me that this is how it's going to be from now on? Him hearing my thoughts isn't always appreciable
'You hurt my feelings love.' He faked hurt. I rolled my eyes but couldn't stop the smile from forming. I had an intuition that there actually is a way to stop him from knowing every single idea that crosses my mind, I guess I should just have to find out
In that same moment, my mom and Linda decided to join us, both looking utterly relaxed and carefree, giggling like five year olds. But then, aunty Linda stopped in her tracks, sniffing the air curiously like something has changed.
She knows and the way her beam stretched from ear to ear confirmed it. Damn werewolves and their heightened senses. As if Mark wasn't enough, now Jace's mom will begin rattling about grandbabies, and of course my mom will soon figure out things and say something to embarrass me
"You've mated." It was a statement rather than a question. Mark's chortle of laughter made me snap my head to the left and send him a glare that said shut the hell up or else
"Yes we did." Jake pulled me closer to him, his hand resting on the side of my waist and just as I looked up, I flushed seeing his wolfy grin. I can assure you that I'm as red as a tomato right now.
"Told you so." My eyes set on my mom that was staring at Linda in triumph. Did I miss something? She shared the same expression that Mark did a while ago, which only means that
"Mom, you put a bet on us?" I demanded, narrowing my eyes and folding my arms over my chest. Thanks to the mate bond, I can tell that Jake was just as shocked as I was, not believing that our mothers indeed were conspiring behind our backs.
Aunt Linda's in this too
I groaned spotting mom biting her lip. She usually does that when she's hiding something –and that ladies and gentlemen confirmed my allegation. They were betting on when we'll finally mate.
"Unbelievable." I shook my head extremely frustrated
"If it makes you feel any better, we were putting bets on you two since you were ten years old." She mused cunningly. Gosh if things weren't embarrassing enough, she just had to make things even more uncomfortable.
"Mom!" I scolded
"I so don't want to be you right now." Mia snorted, covering her mouth with the palm of her hand to keep herself from laughing.
"This is so weird." Murmured Mark, clearly amused by the whole situation
"I'm not deaf you know!" I growled, satisfied that they immediately snapped their mouths shut. Good
"Calm down love, you're making a big deal out of it. They're just happy." Jake soothed, his breath tickling my ear. That made my body relax, the tension between my shoulders easing
"Of course we're happy. Lola dear I'm sorry if we made you uncomfortable in any way. It's just that your mom and I always dreamed of this day coming. Well not the sex part but you know what I mean." Aunt Linda interjected, and I think I turned into even a darker shade of red
Um, wow. Is that supposed to make me feel better
"What Linda's trying to say," mom shot her friend a meaningful stare telling her to stop talking or she'll make things worse which I was glad for, seeing you together brings us joy." Setting expectations are what mothers usually do, and we might have been a little carried away–
"You think?" I asked but she purposely ignored my comment.
"But it's not something we can control." I sighed heavily closing my eyes for a brief moment but eventually nodded, convinced.
"Fine." I exclaimed and almost instantly their worried expressions changed into ones of relief. They decided to leave afterwards, not wanting to cause themselves any more trouble and thank goodness they didn't bring up any grandbabies talk.
As expected, Mia and Mark were having a blast with the teasing. I swear that at some point Mark's jaw was about to crack from all that laughing. Jake was trying so hard not to lose himself in the laughter, keeping a stern frown on his face, but I knew better.
Just as I was about to give them a piece of my mind, a knock on the door interrupted my train of thoughts and I watched as a guard stepped into the room clutching the sword that hung on his hip.
Immediately, Jake and Mark straightened up.
"His majesty requests your presence at his study." He said, his eyes swaying from Jake to Mark and lastly to me.
That meant one thing, the council finally set the date to Luke's trial
