Chapter 75: Violet

Simon left; my stomach dropped. Every time he wasn’t in close proximity, I missed him. My mind ran through the night, how perfect being with him had felt. I was scared for nothing. I should have known better; he was gentle and didn’t laugh. Greta was right. I’m glad I worked up the nerve to go join him in the shower. My mind drifted to the image of him in the shower, leaning against the wall. Back muscles contracted, beyond strong, flowing into his gorgeous ass. Not to mention his member protruding from his profile, not daring to go down. It was now or never, is what I told myself. And I couldn’t think of a better way to lose my virginity.

I counted to ten and then got off the bed to go take a shower. I didn’t want to start too soon after he left in case he heard the shower going and then decided to come back and join me. I didn’t want him to lose who he was, just because he had a mate. I was supposed to make him a better Alpha. That’s how relationships were. Each person in the couple, making the other better in some way.

I let the water run to get hot. I wasn’t sure how I would feel after my first time. I was definitely sore but didn’t feel any different than before. Just maybe more complete. I looked at the mark Simon gave me and ran a finger over it. Tingles shot down my neck, going to my extremities. That was going to be tender for a while.

I walked in the shower and let the hot water flow over me. Thinking about how he made me feel last night and this morning. An explosion was the closest thing I could compare it to. I cleansed my body; I always loved the feeling of being clean. I wrapped a big towel around my body and walked into the Bedroom. Simon was there leaning against the door staring at me with a serious expression on his face.

“The meeting is over, so soon?” I asked. He didn’t respond, only stared. I could feel my brows furrow. “What’s wrong?”

His eyes met mine, no playfulness lingered there. “They want to meet you.”

I looked from one eye then to the next trying to understand why that was a problem. “I don’t understand. Why do you look so serious? Are they going to kill me or something?”

“Don’t joke.” He pulled me into his chest. “Some of them may not accept you and that can cause a problem for our pack.”

I pulled away from him. There was a wet stain on his shirt from my hair. “Worst case scenario, I bind them until they listen.” I smirked at him.

A soft chuckle left his throat. “That could work.”

“I mean it’s better to do it now than postpone it to later. Let me go get changed and I’ll meet these big bad wolves.” I laughed and pulled away, but Simon grabbed my arm and pulled me back to him. He tilted my head up and kissed me.

“Thank you.” He whispered against my lips.

I looked into his golden eyes. “We are in this together. And to be honest, if they want to raise hell, they don’t know who they are dealing with.”

“Very true.” He smiled. I pulled away from him, but he grabbed my towel and pulled it away from my body. He smacked my ass. “Go get some clothes on that sexy ass of yours.”

I turned and grabbed the towel he held in his hands. “If you wouldn’t distract me, I would be dressed already.” I went into the dresser and pulled out a pair of leggings. “How dressed up do I need to be?”

“You can wear whatever you want. This isn’t a formal meeting.” He said, taking a seat in one of the armchairs in front of the television.

I pulled out an oversized sweater, along with the sexy underwear Amy picked out for me. ‘Shear was in’ she said. I could feel Simon watching me as I pulled on the thong. “Slower.” He growled from the chair.

I slowed as I pulled the straps of the thong over my hips. I slowly put the shear bra on, leaving nothing to the imagination. Simon was almost drooling in his chair. I could hear a guttural growl coming from the chair. I turned so he could see everything.

“I’m going to rip those off of you later.” He said in a husky voice. He looked uncomfortable, the bulge in the front of his pants growing, I could see it from across the room.

I bit my lip as I slid on my leggings and then pulled the sweater over the top. It hung off of one shoulder. I looked at him and he just stared. I went to the closet and pulled out a pair of high heeled boots that would go with this outfit. An attempt to dress it up. I wasn’t sure what I was going to be walking into. But at least I wanted to look as if I made an attempt.

I went to the bathroom and grabbed a hair tie from the sink. It was one of Simon’s. I didn’t want to take the time and try to find one of mine. I pulled my hair up in a quick messy bun and walked out. Simon was standing next to the door. “Ready?” He offered me his arm.

“Yep.” I smiled and took his arm. We walked out of the bedroom and down the hall. “Why does it feel like I’m about to walk into a battle.” I laughed nervously.

“You are-- kind of.”

“That doesn’t help. What can I expect?”

“There are four couples. Two couples I am not worried about. One couple would be hesitant and the last one will be down right against us.” He looked down at me and gave me a half smile. “You will like Tiffany, she’s a sweetheart, her mate Tristan is an ass, but he means well.”

I nodded to the names.

“Luis and Teresa are nice as well, but they are more reserved. James and Sarah are older and prefer the old ways but have been coming around to the newer way of doing things. They may question us as a mated pair. And the last couple, Garrett and Layla, I’m not sure what they will do. They won’t like us together, since you aren’t wolf.”

“Oh.” Was all I could think of to say. It wasn’t our fault we were mated. The moon goddess chose. Remus, Simon’s wolf, was my familiar. That was out of my hands. It was out of Simon’s hands as well. “Would you have preferred a wolf?”

“Fuck no.” He replied instantly. “I couldn’t even dream up anyone better than you. You are my dream. You are perfect. And fuck these other Alphas and their Lunas if they can’t accept us. Like you said, we are in this together.”

I laughed. We approached a door, and he stopped in front of it. I could hear people talking on the other side and one person laughed loudly.

“Ready?” Simon looked down at me.

“Yep, let’s do this.” I smiled at him.

He pushed the door open to reveal a large table with the four couples around it. The man at the far end looked over at the door and spit his water across the table, drenching those across from him. No one moved, not even to wipe themselves off. Everyone’s mouth dropped open as they stared at me when I walked in.
