Chapter Fifty-Four: That smile
Chapter Fifty-Four: That smile
Tillie
Slamming the door behind me, I stomped down the stairs of the porch. I was so mad at Scott and my mom that I didn’t know if I
would ever be able to move past it. I loved my parents, but this, this was too much.
It felt like my entire world had been turned upside down and then to have Scott try to tell me what I could and couldn’t do. I
wasn’t a child; I hadn’t lived under their roof in years, and to try to have him parent me now felt... wrong. It wasn’t that I didn’t
want him to still be a parent to me, but I wasn’t a kid anymore, and I didn’t need looking after. If I wanted to be part of the hunt,
then I was damn well going to do what I wanted.
The air had grown cooler and I wished that I had grabbed my sweater from the living room but it did little to cool down my anger.
Wrapping my arms around my middle, I made my way to the path that was closest to the house. The steps creaked on the porch
and I whipped around, pressing my lips together and glaring at whoever had followed me.
Travis held up his hands; he was much closer to me than he should have been. It had to be like some shifter superpower, but I
didn’t know why he had followed me. I’d said that I wanted to be alone and I meant it.
“Sweets, I know you are upset.” He paused, tilting his head to the side. “And while I find it hot as fuck, when you’re all pissed off.
I’m not going inside unless you are with me. You’re my mate and we’re in a territory where a hunt will be held. There is no telling
what is in those woods right now.”
I looked over towards the entrance to the path that I had planned on taking before looking back at him. “What do you mean?”
He dropped his hands, moving closer to me. His walk was more of a prowl, all smooth and kinda scary hot. “What I mean is if I
were one of them and you were the prize... I’d be mapping out this forest so that I could take a bite out of this ass.” He growled
low as he stopped in front of me. His hand moved around to grip my ass cheek almost too hard as he jerked me forward so that I
had to brace my hands on his chest to keep from falling into him.
“Travis.” I bit my lower lip, looking up into his heated gaze. When he looked at me like this, it made my insides melt. It was like he
wanted to devour me whole and nothing was going to get in his way..
Sweets, I’m just telling you what I would do,” He roughly squeezed my ass cheek, his fingers grazing the claiming mark that he
had left, sending a thrill of heat through my body that made my clit pulse. His skin was warm beneath my hands and I couldn’t
help but look at his chest. Were all shifters incredibly fit like him and the others? Now that I thought about it, I had yet to meet
one that didn’t look like they lived at the gym.
“So if I went into the forest to do that, would you come with me?” I asked, biting my lower lip as I ran my fingers over his chest.
primal as the anger I had felt. Just as powerful, it filled me with the need to lead him into the forest. To see just what would
happen if I ran for him.
Would he chase me? Would it be like the hunt that I was planning to enter tonight? I had a feeling that it would be so much
better.
“Sweets, I would follow you to the ends of the earth.” Travis growled out, his hand moving lower until his fingers brushed against
the back of my thigh. His other hand moved to my waist as he sealed his lips to mine. I moved my hand to the back of his neck,
holding him tighter as I brushed my tongue against his lower lip and he moaned. His fingers tightened on my thighs and my hip.
Kissing Travis was like playing with fire and I never wanted it to end. I was glad that he had gotten over being upset with me
about my wanting to claim Gideon.
If anyone should understand what it was like, it should be him. He had claimed me without asking. He had let Ryan claim him. I
had a feeling that of all of my mates, he was the one that was closer to his beast. He was just more primal, more intense than
anyone I had ever met in my entire life.
“We should go before the others come out here and try to change your mind.” He groaned, pulling his lips away from mine before
I could deepen the kiss.
“So you’ll go with me and help me?” I asked. He nodded and I beamed up at him.
“That smile, sweets. It’s going to get me in trouble when you look at me like that I want to give you whatever it is that you want,
so you’ll keep smiling that smile at me.” Travis said, the heat in his eyes turning to something tender. He brought his hand up to
cup the side of my face and I leaned into his touch. “I guess I have to. I can’t have anyone trying to snatch up my cherry girl and
bite this ass but me.”
He swatted my ass before pulling me towards the path that I had been about to take into the woods.
