Are You My Mate? (Denai) novel Chapter 14

14 /24

He stayed the night, and we slept until twelve with him just holding me. (I wished so much that this was our life and I'm still hoping that this is our near future) "I have to get to work Dean" I say as I yawn. "Go tomorrow," he whines, which brings a smile to my face.

"I'll tell Nelson to take over for me, because he always says that I need a vacation" I say as I rub his cheek, not being able to help myself as he looks into my eyes with a sweet smile on his lips.

"Eww no Dean, I need to brush my teeth," I say as I put my hand over my mouth, so that he can't smell my breath or kiss me. I laugh as he grabs my hands and pulls them down, so that, he can kiss my lips and then all over my face.

''I love you Deni baby," "I love you too Dean'' "So much" He adds as he hugs me tightly, causing my smile to get bigger.

We brush our teeth as my housekeeper cooks us breakfast. She smiles as she watches us eat, which I haven't seen her do in a while. I guess I haven't really eaten at home, since my dad died and Dean also hasn't been here either. (I'm also sure that she knows he is my mate)

After breakfast we go to the back yard and I show him some of the ways that I train. I had to get his mind on something else, because he kept trying to pull me to my room, and I didn't want my housekeeper to hear us. (Just because I'm his mate and I probably smell like him, doesn't mean that I won't be shamed, because we aren't fully mated until he marks me)

I wonder if I let him mark me, will Luna Karen finally accept me. "Probably not" says Areta, but I close her out before she can say anything else. I try not to let those thoughts pop into my mind, because I want to enjoy my time with him.

He pushes me on my childhood swing set, then we go down the slide and I climb across the monkey bars. We haven't played on this in years, or even with each other. I'm surprised when my dads old go cart cranks, and we rode around the yard, getting splashed with mud and dirt, since it had rained earlier that morning.

"I can get you some of my dads old clothes if you want" I say as we walk into the house. "Nah, I need to go home to shower and to change'' "Okay, well I'll see you tomorrow'' I say sadly, wanting him to spend the rest of the day with me. "I'll try to come by later" he says before he kisses my cheek. ''Okay, I'll choose a movie and pick up some snacks," I say excited with the idea.

After he leaves I shower, then I pop up at the office to help out. (It's my second home and I spend more time here than at home anyways) "I knew you wouldn't stay away" says Nelson. "Well I was spending time with Dean, but he had to leave" "Probably called back home by his dear old mom," He says as he rolls his eyes.

"I guess I didn't think about that" I say as I start to feel horrified. (Hopefully he went to convince her into giving me a chance) "Not even the Moon Goddess could convince her" says Areta. "Can you just let me have hope?" I say a little hurt by the truth.

''I'm sorry, but you have to see the truth Denai, because as soon as you accept it, you can move on and it may still hurt, but not as bad" "Okay but we'll talk about this later, because I need to work on getting my mind off of this for a while" she closes herself off and I'm relieved she backed down.

"Lets go out tonight, just you me and Maggie," he says surprising me, because we always have to beg him to come with us. I guess he felt bad for my pitiful sad face. (I'm just so afraid of loosing him)

"I don't know... I don't want to upset Dean" "Dean is not here and you are a responsible girl" he says as he puts his stack of papers away. "I guess, I could use a glass of wine" I say as I stare at the wall and imagine how Dean will try to convince his mom.

"I already let Maggie know, we'll stop by her house to pick her up," He says as he puts his hands on my shoulders. "Where are we going?" "Somewhere that will help you to relax, and to take your mind off of your problems" "A spa?'' "No, but we'll do that next time, because I could sure use a massage"
