Claiming His Tempting Mate
Chapter 15

Savannah's POV

"Where are you taking me exactly?" This is the 7th time I am asking. But this man beside me didn'tgive any heed to my question yet kept driving which is driving me crazy. Sneering, I turned my headto look at the side. It's better to ignore this man. I must say his temptation is unbearable butsomehow his arrogance really gets on my nerves.

I closed my eyes, inhaling the cold air filling my nostrils. The car we are sitting in has no roof so I canview the blue sky above. The seat was so comfortable as I leaned more into it. I have agree, ridingMcLaren Elva is a greatest experience. Afterall who could always get the chance to ride this exclusivesports car? I guess I am a lucky one. As I was about to drift in my dreamland when I felt a warmthing touch my thigh. I opened my eyes only to see a giant hand cupping my thigh and rubbing itslowly. The thin layer of material in between is not helping either.

"What are you doing?" I glared at him.

He didn't look at me but I can clearly see his smirk forming on his lips "what?"

I rolled my eyes. Is he trying to look innocent? Because he could be anything but innocent. Angerbubbled inside me. First he grabbed mom's attention then he didn’t reply to my question and nowhe is acting like an innocent being. Nerve of this man.

~ He looked sexy~ Red's voice rang in my mind.

~Shut up. Can't you see he is ignoring my question?~ I barked in my head.

~ you are too loudly ~ Red rolled her eyes. My eyes widened. Is she my wolf or his? Because at thismoment I felt like my own wolf is the first enemy. I blocked her immediately not wanting to hearanymore nonsense.

Then I heard a chuckle beside me "frustrated?"

"Shut up” I snapped.

"What did I do? It's your own wolf"

My eyes widened in an instant. How did he know about it? I stared at him with disbelief. He glancedsideways before chuckling again.

"I can feel her excitement. She is more open minded than you"

"What did you say?" How dare he.

"Isn't it? At least she says it true when her human form does not want to accept it" his words hit thesoft spot of my heart. I pressed my lips and refrained myself to reply anything. Red is always excitedwhenever Hardwick is with us. Though I always give in at the end, I still have some restrictions formyself. The betrayal of the past always haunts me whenever I try to open myself.

His hand roamed in a slow circle over my thigh. I don't want to admit it but he'll, it feels really goodwhen he touches me. I felt like all the cells of my body had awakened again. I glared at his handwhich was almost covering my slim thigh. How big is he? He can grab my thigh with just one hand.Shaking my head I pushed his hand away.. suddenly I felt coldness on my skin.

"If you really want to touch then touch yours" I snapped.

"I am already touching what's mine” that was his reply before placing his hand again. And I thoughthe would stop? Fuck me, no mater how much I hate to admit but I liked the way he touches me.Wonderful, now my own body is the traitor one. For the rest of the ride I did not speak, nor did hesay anything. It was almost 6 in the evening when the car finally stopped.

"We have reached?" I looked around but couldn't replace anything. Why did he stop suddenly in themiddle?

He didn't reply but shutting down the engine he got out of the car before walking towards my side.He opened the door then stretched his hand. I looked at his hand then placed mine. Once I standon my feet I can hear the sound of waves. And immediately my eyes widened.

Sea? Oh my god, fucking beach? Excitement runs through every cell of my body. He took me tofucking beach? I looked at him and found him always gazing at those dominating brown orbs."Excited?" He smirked like he sensed the changing of my body reaction.

"It's a beach?" Seriously I know it is but what the hell, I want to confirm it from him.

"I thought you would like this" he tugged my body towards him and curled his arm around mywaist. His masculine patchouli smell filled my nostrils. God, his woody and earthy smells drove mecrazy until I lost all my senses. I took a deep breath to calm my heart.

Calm down, calm down. I recited these words inwardly.

"Ready?" I heard him ask again. I nodded my head and heaved a sigh.

He took me to the side and as I walked I could see the tiny shine of light a little far away. As wewalked closer the light became wider and I gasped. I could not believe it. There's a tiny path whichwas filled with string lights on each side and in the middle there was a tent. He led me towards thetent and the decorated table inside the tent came into view. Dishes , napkins and glasses arebeautifully decorated on the table with scented candles and a bunch of rose flowers in the middle."This..." I was speechless. This kind of arrangement was something I never expected. Especially notfrom the man beside me.

"You like it?" He asked, smiling down at me.

I looked at him with astonishment, "I..." Biting my lips I nodded "I love it. It's so beautiful” and this istrue. A fucking truth that flattered my heart.

"Good, I am glad to hear that" he pulled a chair for me. Thanking me, I sat down.

"You did this? All of this?" I asked.

He nodded as he sat in front of me. I looked at his handsome face. This is not what I craved for sucha long time. To go on dates with my mate and he becoming the prince charming for me. But allthose wishes never came true until today. I craved it when I was Avan's mate. But he always stayedbusy or he would say it's improper for us to go on dates when others don't know about us beingmates. But now I have not expected nor had any fantasy of having a date night. Yet, it still getsfulfilled like a dream comes true. Have I ever expected something like this to happen?

The answer will always be a big No. But now it felt like everything changed. Maybe for good.Clearing my throat I blinked a few times "why did you put so much effort only for this date?"

"For you" that was his reply. There's no hesitation nor any rush. It was just two tiny words yet itsomehow managed to dig deeply in my heart.

For me?

"Why?"

He gazed at me "why not? You are mine and it's my responsibility to make you happy. Though ourinteractions are just for a short period of time but I will do everything that makes you smile”

A strange feeling started crawling inside my heart "you just did it to make me smile?”

"Your happiness matters to me. No matter how hard or efforts it takes, I will do it in a heartbeat"

~ And you thought he was annoying ~ comes Red's mocking in my head. ~ he is our mate and he istaking all efforts to make us happy. Go kiss him ~

I shook her away not wanting to cause any disturbance. Then a smile suddenly formed on my lips"thank you. It's beautiful but I never expected it" I felt blush hitting my face.

He smirked "should we order?"

I nodded. Just then a man who looked young wearing a waiter's uniform walked inside. I wassurprised. I haven't seen anyone before we entered the tent but now where did he come from out ofnowhere?

"Should we serve master?" He asked, lowering his head.

Hardwick nodded "get it done"

The waiters nodded then gestured his hand and a few more waiters followed in holding trays. Iwatched as they started serving the food before leaving the tent. Once they disappeared from theview I heard Hardwick's voice again.

"Should we start?"

"Huh?" I turned my head to look at him.

"Foods will get cold if you just stare at me like that?" He smirked. I lowered my head and looked atthe food.

"This..."

"All your favourite" he replied even before I could ask.

"How do you know all this?" I asked with surprise. This man never failed to amaze me. I glanced atthe food again. These are all I love the most. Especially that prawn one.

"Luna told me," he shrugged.

"Mom? " I frowned "she didn’t said anything about it"

"l asked her"

"You asked her?"

He nodded "I wanted to know what you like to eat and she is the only one who can help me"

I hated it. I hated to admit that I am truly moved. He not only planned this beautiful decorationstarting with the selection of place yet he went forward to know about my likings too? Which girlwill stay still if she witnesses such a thing? Such a romantic gesture that could flatter anyone withouttrying hard.

"You didn't need to work that hard for me," I said slowly.

"You are my mate, and this is nothing. The only thing that matters to me is YOU. And about theseefforts it's worth everytime you smile looking at it"

Please don't. Don't do such a thing. Because I couldn't handle it and at the end will end up fallingfor him. My heart has never moved like this. This is what feels like having a mate right? Being lovedand cared for and most importantly being treated to this extent. We didn't talk much after that butstarted to enjoy the food. I must say, those dishes are so delicious that I could not help myself buteat till I am satisfied. He was so gentle that he even peeled the prawns for me. Can this night bemore enjoyable than this?

After the meal we sat on the sand enjoying the view of the waves that were splashing around. Thispeaceful environment is something that calmed both heart and mind.

"Thank you for this night" I whispered but I know he can hear me. My heart jumped when he pulledme closer.

"If you want to thank me then why don't you thank me properly. This verbal thanking is notacceptable” he said huskily. We are so close that I can feel his breath fanning my cheeks.

"Then how do you want me to thank you?" I said but my voice comes out more like whispering."Hmmm _like this" then he claimed my lips for a heated kiss. He nibbled my bottom lips then lickedit before taking it in his mouth. He was not gentle but his kiss made me curl my toe in excitement.My whole body burns with desire.

"Mmm..." I moaned when he pushed his hot tongue inside my mouth. My tongue duelled with himfor a hot fight but in the end he was the one who was more dominant and I couldn't help but givein.

He left my lips leaving me panting hard but he didn't stop but continued to kiss down to my necknibbling my skin on the way.

"Oh..." I closed my eyes as the pleasure shot me. I held his shoulder for support and he pushed medown on sand still kissing my neck hungrily.

"So damn good" he said huskily between kisses. "I have been waiting for you for so many years. Andnow that you are here, I am not letting you go no matter what" with these words he bite my neckcausing me to moan loudly.

"Yes, baby .. moan for me, moan my name" he cooed in my ear.

"Hardwick." I moaned when I felt him cupping my breast on my clothes. His hand firmly kneadedmy soft spot giving a squeeze.

"Yes, just like that. Do you know how sexy you are looking right now? All moaning and at my mercy"he said again.

Damn his husky tone. I felt like I was exploding. His kisses and hands are creating too muchpressure that I felt hotness pooling in my core.

"I will make you feel so happy today" he bit my earlobe then dragged his hand down from mybreast over my stomach then lowering more. I gasped when he slipped his hand under my dressand trailing it up through my inner thigh.

"What ..." I closed my eyes as he kissed me again.

"Shhh... just enjoy it" he cooed again.

"Oh..." I closed my as his hand slipped inside my panties touching the most private part. Fire ignitedinside me and I felt getting wet down there.

"Hm.... So wet already" he chuckled against my ear which instantly made me blush. God, I amembarrassed. I turned my head to the other side, closing my eyes tightly.

"No" he almost roared before cupping my jaw he turned me to look at him. His blazing dominatingorbs glared down "you are not allowed to hide that blush. It gives me pleasure to see I am thereason behind this. And you are going to show me that" saying this he slipping his one digit insideme.

"Ah .." I arched my back gasping.

"Can you feel it? Look how wet you are for me. Only for me" he added another finger and I winced. Ifelt burning. I don't think I can handle so much pressure.

"Sh...you can... there's much more I want to do with you. Be prepared" he leaned down and kissedme again.

His finger stroked me like there's no tomorrow. Sliding out then again sliding in gives me all thepleasure and makes me a moaning mess.

"You feel so good baby" he said between kisses. I felt my walls around his fingers start to clench."Oh god..." I moaned, feeling the tightness.

"Yes, just like that. Clench hard as much as you can. Let me know how much that light little pussy ofyours likes it" he cooed in my ear as he fastened his pace.

"Hardwick..." I moaned loudly as the pressure started to build in my core.

"Yes, baby, cum for me, come for your mate"

And then I exploded. Hot liquid covered his fingers as he started to rub my clitoris. I laid panting onthe sand trying to catch my breath. What was that? I have never felt this kind of feeling before."Enjoyed?" He smirked as he pulled out his fingers which were glistening with my release. Before Iknew it he shoved his fingers inside his mouth and closed his eyes as he tasted "hmm..so good andso sweet as I expected” he moaned.

I stared at him with wide eyes. He really did not....

He chuckled when he saw my expression before leaning down "you had your first orgasam baby,and I am going to give you more"

"What-" before I could say he sealed my lips again for another heated kiss.

I never thought this smooth date night would turn into something wild like this. So hot and havingmy first release. My body burnt with pleasure with his kisses and I pulled him even more closermaking him groan.

"All MINE" he growled between kisses making me shiver with delight.
