Alpha's Little Vampire Mate
9. Sexy little wolf.

Marcus's POV:

The hall had almost emptied out. It was past midnight and the other guests had started to retire for the night. My eyes flickered over to Chloe for the millionth time tonight, her beauty captivating me all over like the first time I set my eyes on her. She looked more restless now, staring around frantically as she searched the ballroom. Her actions were disturbing, the thoughts of her wanting to be away from me pulled at my heartstrings. Was this what it felt like for one's mate not to want them back?

My wolf was at ease having her back with us, he was no longer restless but kept telling me to mark her and make her ours. I knew I had to give her time to open up to me and get comfortable with me, but I wondered how long I'd be able to hold back. My whole body was on fire and it was a tug of war trying to keep my excitement down. My cock had been twitching all night!

Her eyes suddenly met mine and she shyly looked away. I could clearly see she found my body attractive, she kept checking me out when she thought I wasn't looking. It gave me a little hope, I had a point to buy my way into her heart. She was so little, her whole body would fit into my arms. The large mounts that sat on her chest were so calling that it made me angry why Lilian dressed her in something so... provocative. I got busy all night glaring at the men who looked at her lustfully, if I could take her away from their eyes and somewhere where only I could look at her tempting body...

She was all mine, my sexy little wolf...

I bent to whisper in her ear, "why are you so restless?"

She tensed up, trying to move away like I'd just told her I ate teenage she-wolves for dinner. "Um... me?" she enquired, turning to see if there was someone behind her.

Her action unsettled me, but I gave her a forced smile; "it is you Chloe, I'm talking to you," I replied.

She faked a laugh. "Who is restless? Me?" She fake laughed some more, bringing an amused smile to my lips. She couldn't pretend for the life of her, even if she wanted to. "I am not restless at all, I love being in your company!" Says the person who's been trying to get away from me.

She squirmed under my intense gaze. It almost seemed like she was intimidated by me and for that, I couldn't blame her. My huge physique was quite intimidating on its own, I also didn't try to hide the fact that I wanted her in my bed and under me. That should have added to her discomfort.

"Who are you looking for?" I asked in a husky voice, almost not recognising my own voice.

"The Beta queen."

"Lilian is quite busy, I'd seen her and Mark sneak out about an hour ago," I said in an amused tone.

I had wanted to lessen the tension, but then she paled. Her eyes were wide in shock, as she stared at me in disbelief. "D... do you mean to tell me that Lily left me here all alone?"

"You're here with me, you aren't alone."

She gulped, giving me a stiff nod. Her whole body stiffened, fear coming off her like hot steams from a pot of scalding water. She tried to detach her arm from mine more forcefully this time, so I let her.

She was angry. She had a deep frown plastered on her face and a look of betrayal. I groaned internally, wondering what offense Lily might have committed.

"Are you okay?" I asked, keeping my voice as straight as I could.

She shook her head negatively, turning to me with large green eyes. "Can I go home now? I feel so tired."

I nodded, giving her a little smile. I saw how her lips slightly parted as she gasped softly. "Just give me a minute," I muttered.

I quickly contacted Mark through the link, telling him how upset Chloe was at Lily. It wasn't up to a second when replied that it was a plan of theirs to buy me more time with Chloe. He said I could take her to my house but begged that I let her return home with them tonight.

As displeased as I was to let her go, I knew I had to if I wanted to gain her trust. I didn't want to crowd her space, I'd let her come to me when she was ready.

I still had an hour with her and I intended to not waste another second. I looked down at her, softly caressing her arm to get her attention. She turned to me, snatching her arm like I'd burnt her.

"They are going to come get you," I said with a straight face. "Let's go over to my house, you can wait there-"

"Oh no, I can walk home on my own," she quickly declined.

"That. Was. An. Order," I said with finality.

Her eyes were casted down, a sullen look graced her beautiful face. I tried to ignore it as I led her out of the ballroom and into one of my cars. Lima was my driver and when he saw Chloe beside me, he began wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

"Fool," I mouthed at him as I tried not to smile. I pulled the door open, offering to help her but she hopped in before I could. I ignored the clawing feeling of rejection, and got in after her.

Our two minutes ride to the royal house was spent in silence. Not once did she bother talking to me. She just kept looking out the window, obviously trying to avoid me.....

I grabbed her hand gently, leading her into the house. I started up the stairs taking her to my room. She stiffened, her feet staying rooted to the ground when she saw my bedroom. "What's wrong?" "Umm... where is this place?"

I couldn't help the chuckle that slipped out of my throat. "It's my bedroom, make yourself comfortable."

"No no," she turned around, beginning to head out the door but I grabbed her back. "I will just wait in the living room."

She wasn't ready for what I did next, because she gasped, too shocked to even resist. I picked her up bridal style, crossed the room and sat her on my bed. "You'll be more comfortable here," I whispered.

I moved away from her and over to the dressing table at the corner of the room. I could feel her eyes on her and thought... why not give her something to look forward to?

So I started by unbuttoning my jacket, taking it off and dropping it on the table. I went on with my shirt and once I'd undone all the buttons, I sluggishly pulled it to me, giving her a look at my muscular back.

I could hear her heart rate picking up, she liked what she saw, obviously. I wouldn't mind showing her more, but she wasn't ready for me yet. I retained a straight face as I turned towards her, letting my eyes do the job.

She squirmed, her legs tightening together as I eyed her body. Her slit had parted and she wasn't aware. My eyes admired her bare legs, then her thighs and rested where the slit stopped. If only I could move the material further up, I'd be able to see what I craved right now.

When my eyes landed on her chest, she started battling with the material, trying to pull it up and hide herself from me. I grunted in disapproval and her eyes widened as she climbed further into the bed. Was she scared of me?

I went to move forward but she yelled, halting my movements. "Stop right there, don't come any closer!"

I stared at her in confusion. Her eyes flickered down and I followed her movement. I wasn't able to hide my excitement. My cock had grown large and was visible, that was what scared her. I looked up to see she was looking at my hard on in wonder.

"Wanna see?" I let out a little laugh when she squeaked, shaking her head in refusal. "Then, do you wanna touch?" I teased further.

She sighed, "please get dressed, I want nothing to do with you," she said in a little voice.

My heart squeezed, the pain of her words hurting deeper than I thought they ever will. "You'll be seeing more of me with lesser or no clothes at all, so better get used to it," I snapped, walking out of the room.

My wolf growled, wanting me to go back in there to her. He was such a selfish boy, using my body for his selfish gains. How could you have a teenager for a mate, don't you think she's too young?

I don't mind at all, you also don't mind.

Well... I do mind, actually...

Liar, my wolf teased. You know her age wouldn't be a problem any longer, we are totally whipped bro...

I snorted, but didn't argue back. I really wanted us to work out but she kept pushing me away and I couldn't take that. I wished she could stay the night, but I knew better...

Quickly contacting Marcus, I asked that they waste no time and come get her out of my house. It was up to a minute when he replied and in three minutes, I could sense them close. It seemed like they'd ran all the way here, because I could hear their pants and footsteps.

Fucking idiots, why were they in such a hurry?

I turned around when my bedroom door flung open and Chloe started to descend the stairs and ran towards the door. She walked right into Lily's arms as they came in. She had sensed them approaching...

"I'm so scared," she whispered to Lily, "let's get out of here."

I ignored her, saying my thanks to Mark and Lily. I turned my attention back to her and now, she was hiding behind Lily like that would eradicate her presence in the room. I knew she'd notice if I spoke, so I signaled for Lily to move aside. She grabbed on quickly, moving into Mark's arm with a smile on her face.

Before Chloe could realize what was happening, I was before her. Her eyes widened in surprise as I grabbed the back of her head and planted my lips to hers.

She didn't kiss back, but didn't push me away. She then gave a sexy moan, which heightened my excitement. I smiled, finally releasing her. "Good night sweetheart." Without waiting for a reply, I walked away from them and towards my bedroom, a satisfied grin plastered on my face...
