Are You My Mate? (Denai) novel Chapter 8

As he sits I realize that the waiter left our drinks on the table. He kisses my hand, after I put my drink down and I smile shyly as I avoid his eyes.

"Look at me mate" He says as he lifts my chin, after I glance at him and then turn away. ''Do you want something to drink?" I ask nervously as he looks into my eyes. I've waited years for this moment and now I can't handle it. (I don't know how to process everything)

"There is nothing that I want more than you Deni baby," "I wish I could take you home with me" he says as he pinches my chin. "What's wrong?" he asks. I guess he can tell I'm nervous. "I'm worried about the mating process" (And about being so close to him, even though, it's what I have always wanted)

"Will you wait a little while until I'm ready before you mark me?" He looks at my neck and then he nods. "I guess we can wait a little while," "You don't have a problem with mating do you?" He asks as he lightly squeezes my hand.

"I'm nervous about that too Dean" "I promise I won't hurt you baby" "I just want all of the other male wolves to know that you're my mate, so that they won't bother you," ''I work so much that the only men I talk to I work with, and Jaison whenever we cross paths which thankfully isn't often" He makes a face, causing me to smile.

"Is it like kissing?" "Mating... it's a million times better than kissing," he says with dark eyes, causing mine to grow surprised. ''And I can't wait to make you mine baby" he says as he leans over to give me another kiss, leaving our lips pressed together for at least a minute, it felt like.

''I want to give you a real kiss so bad" He says as he rubs his thumb across my lips, going back to looking at them. I don't say anything because I don't know what to say. (Isn't what we're doing a real kiss, our lips are touching?)

"Her friend is uuuh... she needs help" says Rodrick the future Beta. "Oh no, poor Maggie," She moves her hands around, as she explains something to a booth full of uninterested wolves. "I usually tell her when she's had too many," "Yeah, she's definitely had too many" he says as he turns to look at her again.

"Well, I'll see you later Dean," I say as I go to slide out of my chair. "You can't leave me for her, I'm your mate!" "I'm your first priority now," he says panicked, as he grabs my arm. "I... I thought that you wanted to get back to your friends" "We're fine Luna, someone will take her home" says Rodrick bringing an embarrassed smile to my face.

"Don't tell anyone else" says Dean hurting my heart. "I want everyone to find out at our next pack

meeting," he says as he pulls me towards his body, to side hug me. We turn when we hear his friends laughing loudly at Maggie as she dozes off.

"Can I just take her home today?" "She has never been this bad before, and I will make sure to let her know that I may not be able to come with her every time she wants a drinking buddy," "Okay baby" he says as he lifts my chin to peck my lips.

Then he wraps his arm around my waist, and walks me over to Maggie and his friends. ''They'll carry her, you just stay close to me baby," he says when I try to go to her. "Okay"
