Shit. His mom. Wasn't it a little too early for the meet your parents stage? I listened carefully, I could hear some shuffling and then a groan.
"Mom!" Damien almost yelled, "She isn't here. I just dropped her home!"
"Don't lie to me," I heard his mom say. I could hear their footsteps coming closer. I did the only sane thing I could think of. I jumped from the bed and ran into the bathroom, locking it.
A few minutes, I could hear them enter the room. I held my breath, so that she couldn't smell me.
"See?" Damien said, "She isn't here.”
"When am I meeting her?" his mom asked.
"I'll bring her home when she's ready. We haven't even completed our mating yet."
"Fine." his mom grumbled. "Be sure to tell her that I want you meet her. Sooner rather than later."
Silence. And then his mother spoke again, "Do you at least have a picture? I want to see how she looks. I need cute grandbabies."
I almost choked. Grandkids? What the fuck?!
Belatedly I realized that I was naked. I quietly put on a bathrobe.
"You can come out now young lady!" I heard her shout. Shit. Shit. Was she talking to me?
What should I do? Go out or stay here? Oh my... This was a hard decision.
"Hanna," Damien said and I slowly opened the bathroom door. His mom stood in front of me. She was beautiful. Damien clearly got his features from her. My eyes went to Damien. He stood near the bed. He gave me a small, apologetic smile.
"So you’re Hanna," His mom said.
A blush coveted my face but I held out my hand. "Yes. Nice to meet you Mrs. Black."
She raises one eyebrow, holding my gaze. I wanted to loom away but I didn't. A part of my mind told me that this was a test. And I would pass it.
"Why were you hiding in the bathroom?" she asked. I blushed a deeper red, if possible.
"Uh... I guess I wasn't ready to meet the parents as yet," I tried to chuckle, but miserably failed.
"So Damien was right?" she frowned.
"About the mating?" I asked, to be sure.
"Yes. About the mating." she said.
"Yes."
She turned around and looked at Damien. My eyes also went to him. He was staring at me. Then his gaze went to his mother. It was as if they were communicating with each other with their eyes.
A minute later, she turned towards me. "Welcome to the family honey!" she grinned and hugged me. My eyes almost popped out of my head. What? I stared at Damien in shock. His eyes didn't give anything away. His face was blank.
His mom pulled back. "Oh, and please call me Mary."
I managed a smile.
"You complete your mating process, I'll get out of the way!" she said with enthusiasm. Without waiting for anyone to say anything, she almost ran out of the room.
"Uh..." I said after a long five minutes. "That was fun."
Damien's face gave nothing away. And it scared me. Then it hit me that he was going to say something before Mary interrupted.
"You were going to say something?" I prompted, hoping to get a reaction from him.
His eyes skimmed over me. "I want you to answer honestly Hanna," he said. I nodded. "Do you think that you're stuck with me because I marked you?"
"What? No!" my reply was almost immediate. He smiled.
"Really? That's good."
"You were saying something," I prompted again.
"I was saying that I'm glad I mated you. Mistake or not." he said. I caught myself and him by surprise when I jumped into his arms and hugged him. So he did want me?
"Yes Hanna. I do want you." he said, I could hear the smile in his voice.
"Shit!" I cursed. "Did I say that out loud?"
He pushed me back. "You will not curse okay?"
"Um... Okay?" I said in confusion.
He smirked. "I will not mark you until I marry you. Neither will we have sex until then."
I stared at him in disbelief. What?! WHAT??!! It was blackmail!
I glared at him. "I will think about it," I said. He grinned. Then I added. "If you ask properly Alpha."
This time he stared at me in disbelief. I gave him a sickly sweet smile, before walking out of the room. I found my way to the kitchen and started looking in all the cupboards for something to eat. The only thing I found was some instant noodles. I groaned.
I heard him behind me. "Why don't you have food?" I asked.
"Because I usually eat out," he replied. I turned around and glared at him. I picked up the phone and dialed the pizza place's number. He raised his eyebrows at me.
"What pizza do you want?" I asked.
"Pepperoni." he answered.
As soon as I gave the order and put the phone down, he pulled me to him. "You're so sexy when you take control." he said.
I almost melted. He brought his lips to mine. I kissed him back eagerly. His mouth felt heavenly on mine. He nibbled on my bottom lip and I moaned. My hands explored his bare torso. Just as I was about to slide my hands into his shorts, he pulled back. His eyes were dark with desire, but he smirked.
"Uh huh. Not until you marry me."
I glared at him. "Ask me and maybe I might."
"You want a romantic proposal?" he asked. He looked nervous. I frowned. Romantic? I didn't know. But I did want to be asked. I couldn't marry him just because he ordered me to.
"I want to be asked." I said. He frowned.
"That's very vague."
"Well... It's up to you. I don't want to marry you just because you ordered me to."
His eyebrows furrowed. He didn't say anything. Instead, he took my hand and led me to the living room. He turned on the television and handed me the remote.
"I'll be right back," he said and I shrugged. I watched Suits, mentally drooling over the sexiness that was Harvey Specter.
The doorbell rang, and I quickly hopped to the door, hoping that it was the pizza. I opened the door and it was pizza, but the person who was delivering it surprised me.
"Rico!!" I grinned and hugged him, forgetting all about the pizza. Thankfully, he had good reflexes and he moved the pizza away from me before I smashed it.
"Han?" he seemed surprised.
"Yup!" I said happily. Rico was my neighbor when I lived with my parents. He moves to another territory when he was eighteen.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
I pulled back. "I should be asking you that!"
He smirked. "Deliver boy sweetie."
I narrowed my eyes at him. "Honestly, how come you came back?"
His grin fell. "Dad had some problem with the biz. And about coming here, no one else was there, therefore, I had to play delivery boy."
I laughed. Rico's dad owned Pizza Mania and I shouldn't have been surprised that he was here. Before I could say anything, I heard Damien come behind me.
"Here you go," he said handing Rico the money and taking the pizza from him.
Rico's eyes widened. He gave me a questioning look and I shrugged.
"Aren't you going to leave?" Damien snapped. I turned around in surprise, about to snap at him. But the look on his face stopped me.
"Yeah, sorry." Rico said. He looked at me. Unexpectedly, he hugged me and kissed my cheek. "See you around Han. Don't be a stranger."
"Nope. I'll drop by tomorrow." I grinned at him. Seconds later, I was pulled into the house and against the door.
Damien looks at me, anger glistening in his eyes. "What the fuck was that Hanna?" he growled.
I frowned in confusion. "What? Rico's a childhood friend."
"Who wants to have sex with you," he stated.
I stayed silent. Want to? Try already had! He realized this because he took a step back.
"You've had sex with him, haven't you?" he asked.
I nodded. That was a long time ago. We were both teenagers.
"Let’s eat." he muttered and I noticed that the boxes were already on the table. Fuck. Was he mad?
I sat down and ate in silence. It was suffocating.
"It was a long time ago," I muttered.
He raised an eyebrow. "I don't care Hanna. I don't understand how you can flirt with him, when you already have a mate."
"I wasn't flirting!" I protested.
"What would you do if I hugged some other woman and kissed her?" he snapped.
Instantly jealously flared inside me. I growled. He raised one eyebrow at me. I realized what he thought. How he felt. I looked down. "I'm sorry."
He stopped eating and kneeled before me.
"All this is new to me Hanna. I haven't been in a relationship. And I am a possessive man. I have never shared anything and I'm not going to start now." he said. His tone and face said that he was dead serious. "We may have been bound by mistake, but everything happens for a reason. That's why, I'm asking you to be my wife. Marry me."
He took out a beautiful ring. It had an oval emerald in the middle.
"Yes." I whispered. He grinned before slipping the ring in. He kissed the ring and then me.
The next words he whispered had me wet.
"I may not have been able to take your virginity, but I will claim that pretty ass of yours bunny."
