I understand, I knew you wouldn’t have just chosen to break this off, so I knew that there was more to all of this, he tells me, walking over to my closet to pull out one of my bags as we started to pack some clothes for me.
I grabbed his arm and he looked down at me, setting the bag on the floor to give me his full attention. I’m so sorry, Joey, you don’t understand how sorry I am. I should’ve stood up for myself and I should’ve stood up for you better and I’m just so incredibly sorry for all of this bullshit.
He shakes his head. It’s okay, baby, I understand. You’re going through a lot.
I smile, wrapping my hand around his neck to pull his lips down to mine to have the first kiss we’ve had in the past week or however many days. His tongue ran over mine and I realized that the 15 minutes was almost up of the time we had to get our stuff before we had to leave, so I had to pull away, making him whine before trying to connect our lips again.
I know, but we have to leave soon, right ? We’re taking them to the guest house, I ask him against his lips.
He nods his head, going back into alpha mode to pick up the bag on the floor to continue putting stuff into it. My hand runs over the back of his jeans, making him stand up to give me a smirk. Hey, you’re the one that told me we have to get ready.
I nodded, grabbing a few more things before walking out with him to the living room where Emilie already sits, playing with her fingers. I reach into my back pocket to get her phone before handing it to her as she gives me a grateful smile. Joey sits next to my sister, wrapping his arm around her shoulder as she stuff her phone in her bag.
You okay ? Joey asks her.
I’m just confused, she says and I basically facepalm when I realize that she still has no idea what just happened because she has no idea that werewolves even exist. We all look up when Mom and Dad walk in with bags in their hands as we all stand up to go to the car.
Cody and Melissa stand outside of a big SUV and once they see me, they run over to give me huge hugs. Melissa kisses my cheek as she holds me tightly. Are you okay ?
I nod my head. Yeah, we’re alright.
Mom, Dad, and Emilie put all their bags in the back before they start to pile into the back. I stop my mom as she starts to get in to pull her away for a bit. She looks at her husband and daughter as they get in before walking back towards the house as Joey talks to someone that looks slightly familiar with Cody and Melissa by the hood of the car.
I’m going to ride with Joey because we still have some stuff that we need to talk about, but if you don’t mind trying to explain the whole werewolf thing to Emilie, it would be great. I could ask Cody and Melissa to help explain because they have more experience with it, but I rather ease her into it instead of just having to tell her when she’s already at the camp where there will already be a bunch of wolves around her, I tell my mom.
She nods her head. Yeah, that’s perfectly fine. I will definitely need help from Cody or Melissa because like I told you, I don’t know too much about all of this stuff.
I give her a soft smile before pulling her into another hug. I’m so sorry, Mom.
She shakes her head against my chest, setting her hands on my shoulders as she pulls away from the hug. Don’t apologize, I finally get to meet Joey’s parents and see where my baby has been staying the past few months.
I smile, leaning down to kiss her cheek. I love you.
I love you too, also, should we be worried about Gigi and Grandpa ?
My eyes widened, remembering that their house was only a few minutes away and I immediately turned to Joey, who felt my panic as he looked over at me from his conversation with his beta. What is it ?
My grandparents, should we be worried ? I ask.
He pulls his phone out before pressing a few buttons and holding it up to his ear. He walks away for a few minutes as he talks to whoever is on the other line, probably telling them where to go and see if they’re okay. Once he gets off the call, he turns back towards my mom and I. I’m having some people go check, but I’ll let Cody and Melissa know the address, so you guys can go there and get them in the car because it’s better to be safe than sorry, so they’ll come with us to the guest house.
My mom sighs, kissing my cheek before giving me a soft smile. More people to explain this crazy situation to.
It’ll all be okay, Mom, I’ll see you there. As soon as we get there, I’ll come and check up on you guys and maybe I’ll have you meet Lila and Conner, Joey’s parents, I tell her.
That would be great, she tells me before kissing my cheek again and getting in the car along with Cody, who was driving, and Melissa. We watched them pull away as Joey wraps his arm around my waist before he guides me to his car. When we get in, he starts it to let the heat run over my body before looking over at me.
I love you, you know that ?
I love you too, I tell him, holding his hand in mine before placing it against my chest so he could feel my heartbeat underneath his palm, knowing how it calms him down in stressful situations. His eyes close as we just sit there in silence, together for the first time in about a week.
Kade’s POV
As we were driving to the pack house, I was trying to figure out what to say because I felt like there were so many thing that I needed to say, but none of them would come out. One of Joey’s hands was still intertwined in mine as the other drove down the road, a little under the speed limit to have more time with me. I squeezed his hand as he came out of his little zone that he was in in his head before looking at me for a second.
What ? He asks.
I just… I’m so sorry, Joey. I’ve been such a bad mate the past week or so and I know that I hurt you so much and I don’t know how to really apologize, I tell him and I notice the way his face goes soft when I start talking. His hand squeezes mine before bringing it up to his lips to place a soft kiss on the top of it.
Don’t apologize, you were cornered by your father, but don’t focus on that. It’s in the past, so let’s just move forward from this, alright ?
I nodded my head. Can I do anything to make it up ? It’ll make me feel better.
He chuckles, shaking his head. No, baby, it’s all good. Trust me.
I decide to take a risk and entwine our hands before sliding my hand down his chest to his stomach before landing in between his crotch to lightly rub on him. His lips rise into a smirk as he glances over at me as I give him the most innocent look that I can give him as I continue the movement with my hand. So you don’t want me doing this ?
Oh, no, this is good, he tells me as I move closer to him as I give him a soft smile as I start to palm him through the thick denim fabric that covers what I desperately wanted to touch. He continues to drive, slightly slowing his speed even more to give me more time to touch him.
As he stops at a stoplight, I use the opportunity to start unbuttoning his jeans before sticking my hand in to touch him for the first time in what feels like forever. His breath comes out shaky as the light turns green and he continues forward with both of his hands against the wheel. He keeps glancing at me periodically as I continue my assault on his growing member in my hands.
Kade, is this what you want to do ? Because we could go to the pack house and wait for your family to get there, he tells me as he lets out a little hum of pleasure once he’s finished talking.
Fuck that, they still have to go to my grandparents house first, so they’ll take a bit of time. We can say that we stopped somewhere to talk or whatever because I haven’t had you inside of me in so long, Joey, I tell him in a low voice as I feel the pressure growing between my own legs to press against the cloth of my briefs. When my thumb skimmed over the tip of his cock, his foot pressed a little too hard on the break, which made us lurch forward before he recovered and slowed down a bit.
