Chapter Ten
Lucianna's POV
I was really weird!
I got happy knowing that Jacob would come home, coming home to me.
Home.
Aww! Do I really have a home I could call mine, now? This feels sooo good! If I only scratch Jacob's rude behavior, and that he was fucking someone else, off of this experience, everything was doing great.
Though that was not my reality. Sigh.
I still thought there was something good in my mate, no man was made of darkness. There must be something good in him.
Like, letting me stay at his home?
Nah, that was part of his responsibility. You're his mate.
How about when he kiss me passionately?
Though its good, he was rough. He also fucked another woman after you.
Okay, I think the other half of my mind was trying to oppose every good thing I had think of. And its saddening that I agreed to every opposition.
Damn, there really is nothing good in him?
No! This was my dream, finding and having my mate was what I lived for! Jacob helped me survive loneliness and darkness without him even knowing.
Because he was my mate.
And we will be together until my last breath. At least until then, I wouldn't be alone.
That was enough for me.
I looked at what I cooked after I placed them on the table. I decided to cook sausages, bacons, eggs and pancakes. I didn't think I would have more time to cook heavier meal so I opted to the easy ones.
"All done!" I clapped my hands and smiled. "Now, the only one missing is the customer." I walked out of the kitchen and upon stepping in the middle of the living room, I heard heavy paw steps.
Jacob's presence quickly enveloped my senses. His scent lingered on my nose, and it smelled heavenly! I inhaled deep, filling my lungs with his scent and it was so much better than the scent that he left around the house.
I hear him coming from the front so I run to the windows and took a peak outside.
Here he comes… here he comes.
The way my mind was quickly filled with Jacob's scent and presence made me bend. Ugh, this shouldn't be what I would be feeling when he clearly fucked another woman but the pull between us acted like poison in my head!
A huge black wolf jumped out of the forest and landed swiftly on the front yard. His paws brushed on the grass of the lawn and my mouth dropped when the wolf quickly shape-shifted into human form.
I gasped loudly and covered my mouth immediately when I saw Jacob! Being naked was normal to wolves regardless of gender but fuck!!! Jacob's body was far from what I'd seen so far!
His could be defined as a perfect work of a sculptor and that body screams of pleasure! That hard chest, stone-hard abs, muscular biceps, a perfect V-line and ohhh God! He was hard!
Was his manhood aroused and hard or not yet? Damn! That was one big meat rod right there!
My eyes were wide open while my tongue was stuck on my upper lip as I continued gawking at his member. I don't know how sex feels but upon seeing that, I was drooling!
Oh, the way it sways when he walks--
'I can see you're enjoying the view.' said a voice in my head. It was Jacob!
My eyes darted up to Jacob's face and our eyes met! I quickly hid myself and out of the window! My heart was beating like crazy! Fuck! I swear I saw him smirked at me! Jacob has probably felt like I was too amazed with his--
Damn it. I was amazed.
I heard his footsteps on the porch and I closed my eyes shut. I could feel my heartbeat as if my heart transferred to my ears. It was making me anxious!
Okay, wait, let's think fast.
He have no clothes on, and he thinks he was so mighty that I drooled over him--which was true--but okay, fuck I couldn't lose!
Clearing my throat, I faced the door and held on the handle.
I was Jacob's mate, I have responsibilities and one of them was greeting him when he comes home. I don't care if he couldn't uphold his responsibilities to me, I would still do my part.
I opened the door with a huge smile, wind was brushing off my hair the moment the air outside came in the house.
"Welcome home!" I beamed but deep inside, my heart was beating loud and rapid.
Jacob has a frown in his forehead and a smirk on his lips when he looked at me. I tried my best to look at his face, just focus there, but I could feel my lips trembling as I force to smile.
Fuck, Jacob was in front of me, naked!
Get a grip, Lucianna. Get a grip, little wolf down below. No matter how big and tasty that meat looked right now, never forget someone else had a taste of that last night!
Then let's taste it too! My wolf giggled, enjoying the view ten times more than I was. I didn't mind her distracting suggestion and just went on with my act.
I knew his expression meant he was testing my resolve. And yes, I was attracted, drowned hard into his physique but *clears throat* I wouldn't show it.
He called me weak, maybe this feeling was one of the things I needed to fight just to prove to him I was not.
"You've seen me naked, you should have prepared clothes for me before I reached the door rather than gawked at me." he smirked again and I was not sure if he was trying to suppress a smile but what I was sure of was my face were burning.
I knew he had a point right there! I should mind my moves around him, it seemed to me that he was looking for my purpose and what I could do for him.
I may have looked like a ripe tomato by now because of shame!
I was not able to answer him because it was not an accusation, I really were gawking at his body. So I just gave him an awkward smile, not intended but it came out like that.
He sighed, then his eyes travelled on my body. I got conscious with what I was covered with, I'm only in my towel because I didn't had the thought of changing into clothes before cooking!
"Are you trying to seduce me wearing that piece of fabric?" he scoffed. "It's annoying. Just get me a towel in one sink cabinets."
My smile faded fast from what he said. First, I did had the thought of seducing him but not like this yet he shoved it to my face without any hesitation. And second, I was annoying? Fine, I might had some shortcomings but to call me annoying when I was trying my best to be a good mate for him was not cool.
And definitely not cooling my head.
"Still in a daze? Why don't you offer your towel instead? I bet you can't wait to take it off for me." he crossed his arms in front of his chest, having another smirk plastered on his face.
The prick was trying to test me again. Huh! I wouldn't lose to your game, Jacob!
Without any delay, I grabbed the towel wrapped on my naked body. His eyes left mine and wandered down my body. His eyes moved to watch my nakedness in a slow, torturing way.
But I was in for a fight.
I walked closer to him and stopped before the head of his manhood make contact with my skin. I think it turned larger, and harder. Looking down to it, I secretly complimented it in my head.
Slowly but without hesitation, I wrapped the towel on his waist, roughly twisting the top for tighter hold which made him groan his protest but didn't stop me.
"Now." I said, looking up to meet his eyes. "You can stop nagging like a housewife."
I heard a growl from his chest, showing how he disliked what I said but I copied the same smirk he has been giving me the moment he arrived.
"Are you starting to show who you are and the first step is not being mindful of your words?" his voice was deep, penetrating my soul. His tone enough was a warning, like he was trying to reach my fear but I had protected that a long time ago.
"I did not think I should. I'm just returning the flavor you offered to me since I came here. How does it taste?" I took a step back and crossed my arms on my chest like his current posture.
Jacob chuckled silently while shaking his head. "Not bad. I should let you have more of it, it sure tastes good."
My smirk faded and I realized getting back at him with rude words were not enough to shake his guts.
The way he kept at hawking on my nakedness started making me conscious that I wanted to run upstairs, or cover myself with anything. But I stood still.
"Alpha Jaco--" it was Harley! He was coming from the side of the house. I completely forgot about him before I exhibition my bare body in front of Jacob with the door open!
"Shit!" Jacob cursed, grabbing me on my waist and carrying me away from the door. He slammed the door closed, hugging on my body tight for support since he moved with his inhumane speed.
I guess he doesn't want his third-in-command to see me naked, huh?
"What happened--" I hear Harley coming closer.
"Stay outside. Everything is good in here." Jacob said, clenching my body tighter to him that I gasped for air.
He looked down at me. Our chest in contact, his eyes drowning mine, and his manhood poking on my stomach. I swear, air left my lungs the moment that hard meat rod touches me!
There was something in Jacob's eyes, and it seemed to me that he was thinking of something. I couldn't put words into it. Was he aroused? Well, his hard-on clearly shows that. But was I the reason for it?
Jacob exhaled slowly and his hot mint breath lingered on my face.
"Go upstairs and get dress." he said, letting me go.
"What about y--"
"Just go." he snapped. He turned his back on me and I watched as he ran his fingers on his hair. "Now, Lucianna." he whispered with rasp voice, not bothering to look at me.
I didn't ask any question and just started walking away from him. I was still naked, and thinking that Harley was outside made me run upstairs in shame.
Once inside my room, I quickly looked for some clothes but stopped halfway.
I knew it now.
The way he looked at me, I knew what words befitted that gaze.
Jacob was desiring my body. His control slowly crept away from his grasp and I fucking run away from the possibility that we would finally fuck--
Footsteps outside my room was heard and I knew that it was Jacob. The way the scent lingers on my nose says it was him! I bet he was going to his room!
Jacob was losing control. He was still fighting his urges to hold me, to complete the mating with me, and I fucking let him win by following his command and running away!
I didn't need to think of anything, I knew what I needed to do! I needed to end this game and win.
Win him over.
I opened the door of my room the same time I heard his footsteps right outside my bedroom. Jacob looked at me, trying to hide his shock and just showed a tired look.
I noticed how his eyes shine, though. And even if he tried and focus on my face, I knew he could see my nakedness right in front of him.
"I told you to get dress--"
"No." I said, letting go of the door and stared at him with fiery eyes.
"What?" he frowned.
"I said 'no'." and the next thing I did was grabbed the towel on his waist, pulling it off, taking away its purpose of covering his manhood.
He wanted a game, but I was no longer in the mood to play along.
