Her Burning Desire
Chapter 20

Melony

After the day that I had, I just needed to let my mind take a break. Let loose a little bit. Theodore and I had a nice little dinner together. We talked about today's events some. I told him my feelings towards my parents. Theodore's response to me though absolutely melted my heart. It makes me happy to know he will support me in any decision I make. He just seemed to be worried that I would reject him or leave him behind as my mate. I have only known Theodore for a little while now, but I honestly don't think I could ever leave him. I am falling for him more and more. I can only hope he feels the same way I do.

After we got done talking about my parents, I just wanted to do something silly and have fun. We have another exhausting day ahead of us tomorrow, so why not have some fun before we have to get serious? I didn't tell Theodore what I was doing, I was just hoping he would follow along and join me. I have never gone skinny dipping before. It sounded adventurous and exciting. The thought we could be caught at any minute. I was thrilled. I started stripping my clothes and threw them behind me as I ran for the pool. Before I jumped in, I asked Theo to join me and I wasn't sure if he would at first. When I came back up from the water, I saw Theodore jumping in to join me and I started to get excited all over again.

I swam over to Theodore and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Melony, this is crazy. It's late at night and someone could come down any minute and see us. My guards will think someone is trying to break into the house."

I placed my finger over his l!ps. "Shhhh, Theodore. Relax. Have some fun with me. I have never done anything like this before. I am enjoying the fact I get to do it with you. The fact we could be caught only makes this all more exciting. Please just have some fun with me." I gave him my best puppy dog eyes.

"I can handle being caught, Mel. What I can't handle is what I will do once we are caught. You are out here in the open right now, completely n.aked. If someone catches us, they will see you. I can't get in trouble for skinny dipping in my own pool. I could get in trouble for killing an innocent bystander because they saw my mate n.aked." He let out a threatening growl. His possessiveness always makes me swoon. I'm sure it will get annoying eventually. Right now, I love it. I take a good look at my mate and he is sculpted perfectly. Every inch of him begs for my attention. I can feel his delicious abs pressed up against me. His strong jaw line makes me want to run my fingers across it. His lips are perfectly full and beg to be kissed. I ran my finger along his jaw, up to his lips, lightly pulling on the bottom l!p as I removed my hand. I instantly replaced my finger with my lips. I needed to kiss him. I need those sparks. I crave them.

Theo has one hand around my waist, while my legs are wrapped around his. He brings his other hand up and cups the back of my head, deepening the k!ss. I ran my tongue along his lips begging for entrance. His touch makes me moan as I feel the tingles of the mate bond dance over my body. I need more. I tug on his hair some to get better access.

"F**k Mel. You can't pull on me like that unless you want me to lose all control. I am trying really hard to keep it together here." Theo says breathlessly.

I decided I don't care anymore. I love this man. I would gladly spend the rest of my life with him as my mate and where his mark proudly. Let's test the water here.

I kissed his neck, nipping at his sensitive spots. I took my l!ps to his ear and whispered softly. "Then lose control, Alpha."

Theodore's grip on me got tighter as he froze in place. I think he is having an internal battle with himself and Jackson. He probably thinks I am just caught up in the moment. I want him though, I need him. Just when I am about to encourage him on, I hear the bushes on the side of the house move and a light starts to shine our way.

"HEY! Who's there! The pool is closed!"

"S*IT, run Mel! I can't have my guards see you like this!" Theo started pushing me up out of the water.

I looked down on him and pulled at his hand, giving him the biggest smile I could muster.

"Only if they can catch us first. Come on Theo, run with me. Let's not get caught then." He gives me a smirk, as he knows the game I am playing. He jumps out and grabs my hand as he runs. My clothes have been soaked from when Theo jumped in so I just tossed them in the bushes. Theo grabs his white button-up shirt and throws it over my head while he yanks his jeans on. We were still running back to the house trying to escape when we could hear the guard gaining on us. "Hey! stop! We will catch you! Dang kids!" They shouted.

We made it to the stairs and didn't have time to run all the way to the Alphas floor, so we stopped on the second level, which belongs to the Beta. We hid around the corner and tried not to make a sound. We see the guards turn toward the stairs and try to sniff someone out or hear the slightest noise. They end up taking off toward the front door, probably thinking that running into the packhouse was just a distraction for them.

Theo and I look at each other and just bust out laughing. It's like we are two teenagers all over again. I went to head toward the stairs to go to our floor and bump into Theodore, causing me to stumble back some and knock over a stand in the hallway. As Theodore bends to pick the stand up, the bedroom door beside it flew open, and Theo jumps in front of us to protect me.

Theo is ready to protect what's his and the person on the other side is ready to battle it out with a wet paper bag. I couldn't help but laugh hysterically at the sight before me. Theo calms down and then takes the sight of everything in, and joins in on my laughter. Todd finally figures out who he is trying to attack and backs up by crossing his arms. He doesn't seem to replace this fun. Todd is in his boxers, hair all ruffled, sleep evident in his eyes, with a lamp in his hands. He was going to attack us with a lamp!

I have tears falling down my face at this point, while I hold my belly from the laughter. "TODD! hahahaha! Were you going to attack us with a lamp?! Hahaha! You realize you are a wolf, right?! You can literally turn into a wolf and kill people and were going to attack your intruder with a lamp?! Hahaha!" Theodore replaces this all amusing as well.

"Okay Luna, it really isn't that funny!" Todd huffs.

Oh but my Beta, it really is." Theo counters.

Todd grumbles, making his way back to his room taking his lamp with him. "ha ha so hilarious. Alpha...pfff. Luna.. Pfff. children I swear." Todd mumbles all the way in until his door shuts.

We stood their laughing until we were able to gain some control of ourselves. When we finally stopped, Theo reached up to wipe the tears off my face from our laughter. I grabbed his hand and ran back to the stairs.

We finally made it to Theodore's room. I walked in and started to look around his room a little bit.

"I needed that laugh today, Mel. I needed the fun you gave me. I can't remember the last time I have smiled or anything like that before. You bring so much happiness into my life. I would never have done anything like that before. It was.... exhilarating." Theodore thanked me.

"I had a good time with you tonight also. I have never done anything like that before. I just wanted to have some fun. Except I wanted the fun to be with my mate. I want to laugh like that with you for the rest of my life, Theo. I want to make you happy and see your smile every single day. I want to share all of my first with you...every...last.. one, of them." I am now standing in front of him. I am putting myself out there right now. Its sink or swim time. I really hope we can swim.
