Chapter 8

The next morning I wake up in pure bliss. Last night was amazing. George finally marked me. It was such a special moment. It wasn’t just a bite on the neck (But really it actually was) it was 2 people coming together and bonding together.
It’s truly is the best experience yet.
I woke up and stretched my arms and legs out like normal, expecting to hit George but I didn’t. I didn’t touch anything actually.

I sit up on my elbows some more, and see that it’s just me in the bed.

No George.

That buttcheek!
“Babe?” I call out. Nothing, no response. I sit up fully in the bed and see a note on George’s pillow.
Good morning, Beautiful! I’m sorry I wasn’t there to see your pretty little face wake up but my wolf was antsy. I went for a run, see you later Sweetie.

I get out of bed and go to the bathroom. Checking my phone, I see that it’s almost noon.
My eyes widen. I never sleep this late! I wonder when George left. I was about to leave the bathroom, when something on my neck catches my attention.
It’s my mark, or well George’s.
It’s beautiful, 2 wolf heads wrapped up in each other.
I run my fingers over it to make sure it’s real.
“Perfect,” I find myself saying.
I finish getting ready for the day and then head out to the kitchen. Deciding on pancakes for breakfast.
I’m in the middle cutting fresh fruit when George comes in with no shirt on.
“Hey Baby. How was your run?” I ask him, cutting some pineapple.
George is angry at something, and I intend to find out what.
“Fine,” He snaps at me. “I’m going to take a shower,” He tells me and then turns and starts to walk towards the bedroom.
I drop the knife on the counter and walk after him.
“What’s wrong George?” I ask him.

“Nothing, I’m fine.”
I grab his arm and force him to look at me. “We both know that’s not true. George I am your mate. You marked be remember? You can’t keep things from me!” I tell him.
He sighs. “I need to talk to you about something…” he trails off.
“Okay? I’m all ears,” I tell him.
He removes my hand. “Not now Darling. It’s not the right time. Later, after dinner tonight. How about we have dinner, go for a swim and then I’ll talk to you about it okay? Sound good?”

I nod my head and peck his lips. He kisses my softly again before going to the bathroom, and I’m off to finish the food.

Later that night, I find George cooking. It’s so sexy when a man can cook. I inhale deeply and take in the sweet and savory smell of his meal.
“It smells amazing, Baby!” I comment, taking a seat at the counter and watch him do his thing.
“Not as amazing as you smell,” He says with a smirk and I feel my cheeks heat up. Cheesy I know. but it gets me every time.

I recover quickly from my blush, “So do I get a taste?”
“No, but it’s almost done. How about you open a bottle of wine?” He suggest and I give him a weird look. He does know I’m 18 right?

“Okay,” I tell him and get up and find a bottle. I pour him a glass and hand it too him. He looks at me oddly.
“Aren’t you gonna have some?”
“I mean, I don’t want the Crowned Prince to tell on me for underage drinking.” I tell him with a smirk.
“I won’t tell if you don’t,” he says with a smirk.
George sets the table, and puts the food out. He pulls a lighter out and lights two candle sticks.
I sit down and watch him once again. “Am I missing something?”
“What? I can’t treat my girl to a nice dinner?” he ask while sitting down, after making sure I have everything I need.
“Never said that. I’ve just never had someone do this for me.”
“Well get use to it.” He tells me with a smile. I can’t help but smile back.
After George’s amazing dinner, we find ourselves cuddling on the couch with a fire crackling in the background.
George wraps an arm around me and I snuggle into his side. “How did I get so lucky?” I ask him, and plant a kiss on his lips.
We sit and listen to each other’s heart beats and watching the fire.
After a little bit of us sitting in silence, George speaks up.
“How about a swim?” he asks. My cabin is located right next to a lake that just happens to lead to a private swimming area. I love swimming, I use to swim here all the time as a child.
“Sure,” I say while nodding my head. We both get up and go get on our suits. George gets his on faster and heads out to the water before I get done. I grab us some towels and then head out after him.
I look down at my suit, it’s one of my favorites. It’s black of course. Gotta go with a classic color.
Walking up to the water, I see that George is already swimming. I smile at his head pops out of the water, a smile plastered to his face. His eyes turn lustful when he sees me.
I raise my arms up in question and spin. “What do you think?” I ask him, grinning.
“Why don’t you dress like all the time?” He asks with a chuckle.
“So…I take it you like it?”
“Very much,” He practically groans. I take a step into the water, and then jump the rest of the way in. Once I surface, I start swimming toward him.
I get near him, and wrap my legs around his torso. He encircles me with his arms.
“You are so beautiful,” He whispers in my ear. I shiver from the comment.
“Thank you,” I say with a blush. I rest my head on his shoulder. “I like this,” I tell him honestly.
“Me too. You and I, alone. It’s peaceful and relaxing.”
I listen to his heartbeats. “I wish it was this way all of the time,”
“It can be. That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. I think we should move in together. Into a house of our own. Just you and me,” He says. I look at him in the eye.
I’m speechless. I wasn’t expecting this at all.
“So what do you think?” He asks me, he looks nervous.
“I think that’s a great idea.” I tell him honestly. He breaks into a smile.

“So will you move in with me?” he asks.
“Babe, there’s no way I will go another day not living with you!” I say and he kisses me. I pull back and he looks at me with worry in his eyes. “I will move in with you, if you do one thing for me,” I inquire.

“Yeah, anything for my princess!”
I lean forward and whisper in his ear. He smirks at me and nods his head.
