The Summer Moon
Chapter 22 -

Tyrese

My body was reeling with pleasure when I pulled back from Malia. She laid back on the table in front of me, her breathing heavy. A smile crossed her face and she began to giggle. Goddess, that was the most beautiful sound.

"What's so funny?" I smiled down at her as I zipped up my pants and adjusted them.

"I can't believe I just let you screw me in a bowling alley, of all places," Malia broke out laughing much harder now, and I couldn't help but join in. I was crazy about her, everything about her was drawing me in. And gosh, when I saw the black lace underwear barely covering her ass as she leaned over to bowl, my wolf just went crazy. I had to have her. I was loving how confident she was getting with me too. She ripped my shirt wide open, which was so hot. I was actually amazed at her strength.

"Maybe if you weren't so irresistible I could behave a little bit better," I winked at her. She looked up at me in surprise, but I could still see the slightest smile on her face.

"There is no way this is my fault!" She scoffed at me and jumped up to a seated position. I laughed again and shook my head.

"Come on gorgeous, let's finish our game," I took her hand and led her back over to our lane. For the rest of the game, I admired her ass but was able to keep my wolf under control. And when it was my turn, I smirked at her every time I noticed her ogling my bare chest. By the end of the game, I noticed she was bending down a little farther with each swing and I chuckled to myself, she was such a tease.

After the game, I turned off all the lights again and locked the place up before Malia and I headed back to my car. I popped open the trunk and dropped my suit jacket inside and shed the remains of my dress shirt.

"What are you doing?" Malia asked me, giving me a puzzled look.

"Changing, someone ruined my shirt," I winked at her and watched as she giggled again. She covered her face to hide the blush I was sure had crossed her cheeks. I pulled on a simple navy t-shirt then grabbed my zip-up hoodie. I closed the trunk and walked around to the side of the car where Malia was already sitting in the passenger seat. "Here," I said as I wrapped my sweater around her body and she smiled at me gratefully. It was getting late and I knew she must be getting chilly. She pressed her hand gently to my cheek, then her lips brushed against mine.

"So I have a question for you," I asked her, kneeling down in front of her. She looked at me eagerly, her big green eyes enchanting me. "Do you want to stay with me tonight? I have an apartment here in the city. I actually used to stay here all the time. I can lend you some clothes to sleep in and take you home in the morning. We could get breakfast at Al's?" I asked. I watched Malia's reaction but it was impossible to read her, she looked me over as if she were trying to decide. "If this is too fast for you or you want to go home though, just say the word. I won't be upset. I can take you home right now if that's what you want," I backtracked, hoping I wasn't scaring her off.

Malia smiled and shook her head. "Sorry, I was just expecting something else. Um, we could stay in the city if that's okay? I'd love to see your apartment, and honestly I'm having the best time tonight, I don't want it to be over so soon." The biggest grin spread across my face. I leaned in to kiss her one last time before going around to the driver's side of the car.

"Wait, what did you think I was going to ask?" I looked over to ask her as I shifted the car into gear.

"Nothing,” she mumbled and I narrowed my eyes at her, trying to figure her out. "It's nothing, I promise," she placed her hand on mine and smiled. I wished she would tell me, but I didn't want to be too pushy. Everything about this night had been amazing and I didn't want to ruin it.

I parked the car in the underground parking garage of my building, then rode the elevator up to the penthouse with Malia's hand in mine. I watched Malia carefully as I opened the door to my apartment and she walked inside. Her eyes went wide and her lips parted as she looked around the large open space.

"This is amazing," she said quietly as she walked towards the leather sofas. "Okay seriously, what do you do? I mean you or your family must be crazy rich, like your house, your car, this," Malia began rambling and I laughed at her. She was right, we did have a lot of money. Being a long-standing alpha family had a lot of perks, and I wanted to share them all with her.

"We run a business, and yes, we're pretty well off," I wrapped my arms around her waist. "Can I show you around?" She looked up at me and nodded eagerly. I took Malia throughout the apartment, showing her the kitchen, washroom, TV room, spare bedroom, and, of course, I saved my room for last. Malia looked at every room in total awe.

We came to a stop in front of my bedroom door and I turned to face her. "Your room?" She mumbled, pointing towards the door behind me. I nodded my head. "Of all the rooms you're not going to show me your bedroom? Are you joking?" Malia's voice got louder as she started laughing. I smiled back at her, then took her hand and led her inside. The moment we stepped in the room, Malia was quiet again as she took it in.

"This is all amazing Ty," she whispered as she sat down on the edge of the bed and continued to look around. Her eyes landed on me last.

"Is everything okay?" I asked, noticing how quiet she was suddenly. I walked towards her slowly and watched as she gave me a small smile.

"It's just, this is all so amazing and everything about this night was amazing, but why are you here with someone like me?" Malia's eyes were sad when they met mine and my wolf was howling, angry that she was upset.

"What?" I looked at her confused. "Someone like you? Smart, funny, caring, gorgeous, and breathtakingly sexy? Why wouldn't I be here with you?" I looked deeply into her eyes, wishing she could feel our mate bond as strong as I could, wishing she knew just how right this was. "Don't doubt this Lia, don't doubt me," I said as I pressed my lips to hers and she reciprocated quickly.

My wolf was howling, I already couldn't wait to get her out of this dress. I could tell Malia was feeling the same way as she eagerly pulled at my shirt. I lifted my arms above my head swiftly and the shirt slid over my body. Her hands blazed down my chest as I fiddled with the zipper on the back of her dress.

Malia slid off the bed to stand in front of me and I watched as the dress fell to the floor. I stared at her in awe. "Fuck, Malia" I groaned. She gave me a sly smile then straddled my hips. Her lips were on mine again, our tongues intertwined. I pulled us back onto the bed and groaned again as Malia began to grind against me. I slid my hands up her back and undid her bra, revealing her perfect breasts.

Kissing down her neck, she moaned lightly and gripped my shoulders. Her hands slid down my chest once again, this time undoing my pants. I quickly raised my hips and slid them off along with my boxers. I kissed down her chest and over her nipples. My hands gripped her ass as she continued to grind against me. Suddenly, Malia reached down and grasped my cock. She looked up through her dark lashes.

"I want you, Ty," She said breathlessly and I was happy to oblige. I yanked her panties off and laid back, holding her on top of me. She positioned herself over me then looked down nervously. I held my hands on her hips and slowly helped her lower down, pleasure rushing through my body as I entered her.

She moaned as her body moved against mine and I watched her with such admiration. How was it possible that this gorgeous girl was my mate? I felt so lucky. As I felt myself coming closer to finishing, I flipped us over and thrust deep into her, picking up the pace. "Ty!" Malia screamed out, digging her nails into my back. Her core pulsed around me as she climaxed and I held her tight. I buried my face into her neck, finishing as well.

I rolled off of her, but kept my arms tight around her waist. I cuddled my body around hers. "Ty?" Malia whispered.

"Yeah baby?" I mumbled as I kissed her shoulder.

"This was the best first date ever," she giggled against me and a huge grin spread across my face.
