TRICKS & EXPRESSIONS

SHAWN "Good one, who's next?" Ivan asks nodding towards Jasper and I. Valerie has her back towards me and I can't watch her expressions. "Oh, that's my favorite song, let's dance!" Evie says excitedly and starts dragging Valerie to the dance floor. "You go to dance floor, I've something to do. Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Valerie says and turns to look at me. She starts walking towards me and my wolf is scratching inside me wanting to take his mate. While walking towards me, she's looking at me and I see her gulping. She doesn't stop in front of me like I expected, but walks past me. I frown and turn to look at her. My frown turns into a smirk when I notice her glancing at me through her shoulders. She definitely wants me to follow her and I do just that. We are walking in the woods now. She's walking ahead and I'm following her as well as checking her out. Hey, it's not my fault that she looks so sexy. If you look at her now, you can never guess that she was once a shy girl. "I brought you here so that you can talk, not for you to check my back." She says still walking ahead. "I like the view." I tell her and she immediately turns to glare at me. However, her cheeks are pink. "Pervert." She mutters and I smirk at her. "What do you want to tell me?" she asks. "I never said I wanted to 'tell' you anything." I say and she glares at me. "You said you wanted to 'talk'." She says through gritted teeth. "I never said that." I tell her while smirking. I'm doing to this to play with her. "That's it. I'm leaving!" Valerie says to me and turns to leave. In a flash, I storm towards her and hold her in my arms. My arms are wrapped around her waist and electricity spreads all through my body. It feels good to hold her again especially when she isn't complaining. Her hands are placed on my chest while she's looking at me and blinking repeatedly. Not wasting any time, I lower my head and place a kiss on her soft pink cheeks. "I did want to tell you something though." I whisper near her ears and smirk when the goose bumps are back on her soft skin. To tease her more, I place a kiss just beneath her earlobe and she shivers. "Tell me what?" she asks, trying to push me away. It doesn't work because that makes me tighten my grip on her and bring her more closer. I look at her and gulp. This is my chance....one mistake from me and I'm screwed! "That I'm sorry." I say and kiss her cheeks. "Sorry for everything I did in the past. Sorry for making you leave your own Pack." I tell her and she's just staring at me. It looks like she never expected me to say that and she's right...I never apologise to anyone! After few minutes of silence, she finally speaks, "why are you apologising?" "I realised that what I thought was fun wasn't funny at all." I tell her honestly, rubbing the backside of my neck and notice the corner of her lips lifting to form a smile. She moves closer to me and my wolf roars his lusty head. He wanted to take her, his mate, right now. Even though I want the same thing, I know if I do something like that now, I will lose Valerie. Her one hand is wrapped around my neck while the other one is placed on my chest. She's standing on her tip toes, leaning closer while my wolf howls inside me. Her lips are inches apart from mine and I smirk slightly. "I want to tell you something too." She whispers in a very soft voice. "Tell me what?" I ask her and my eyes are only focused on her lips. I want her. "That it won't be so easy." She says quickly shoving me away and smirking at me while I growl at her. Valerie is walking backwards looking at me and smirking even though I am growling at her. VALERIE "Get back here." Shawn snarls at me while I continue smirking at him. I never expected him to apologise and I also know he meant what he said but hey, I want to play tough too. I won't make it that easy for him. Two years can't be forgotten that easily with a two seconds sorry. "You can't order me around al-pha." I say tautly to tick his nerves and turn around to walk back home. In a second, I'm caught by my waist and flipped around so that I'm crashed against his chest. Solid chest. My wolf is shaking her tail inside me and I want to punch her. She's enjoying this, enjoying his touch. I will never admit to anyone that I like it too. There are tingles in my body wherever he's touching me. "Don't walk away from me." He says while growling at me. Yeah right! The rhino is sorry. I try fighting him and realise that Shawn is stronger than me, whether I like it or not. All my efforts of pushing him are useless because I can't even make him move an inch. I am an alpha too for heavens sake! It's the same though. Some male wolves are physically stronger than me but due to my power of controlling the water, I come out as the strongest because they are no match to that. Nelson used to easily defeat me when we used to fight while training. I used to get so pissed off that, I would start using my powers with anger, completely soaking him. All of a sudden, I'm pushed against a tree trunk by Shawn who is still holding my waist. Before I can utter a word of protest, he crashed his lips against mine, shocking me. My breath gets caught in my throat all of a sudden while my wolf howls inside me. I know she's connecting with his wolf. I didn't tick his nerves so that he can kiss me but damn, it feels good! The electricity is racing inside my whole body while we are connected like this. He tastes so good and I feel heat rolling inside my body, my heartbeat increases all of a sudden and for some reason, it makes me happy. Forget Shawn the bully for now, just focus on Shawn the mate. For this moment, I feel happy. I feel the sense of belonging to my mate. That thought just makes me happier and I kiss him back. I wrap my arms around his neck not to play with him this time, but to hold him and enjoy the feeling spreading inside me through that contact. I moan a little when he presses me closer to him. Our bodies flush against each other. I whimper when he pulls away because the kiss makes me desperately crave for a next. Immediately, he starts kissing my jaws and continues trailing kisses until he reaches my shoulder blade. I'm just leaning and enjoying whatever my mate is doing to me, but when I feel him lick the area something in me just snaps. As much as I want him to mark me, I can't let him do that. Not just yet. I have a commitment towards my Pack and getting marked by him will eventually make me leave my Pack since the wolves always prefer their mates. I want Mark Ambrose dead first because only then, I'll be assured that my Pack is safe. In order to kill Mark, I need to still be the Alpha of my Pack. With whatever little self-control I have in me, I shove him away. It catches him by surprise because he stumbles back a few steps. I can't look him in the eye after I do that. Before Shawn can catch me and continue what he's doing, I run from there. I run away from my mate! Tears are continuously flowing in my eyes. I'm crying because I want Shawn to mark me and be with him. I'm crying because I feel that I'm being selfish for thinking only about me and my mate when I have promised to protect a Pack. The same Pack that loves me and made me who I am today! Shawn isn't chasing me and that tells me that he's either pissed off or hurt, which only makes more tears to flow down my cheeks. I head to the ocean because it always calms my mind and that is what I need right now.
