The Lycan’s Contract Mate

“You really don’t have a name for your wolf?”

I asked again and he shook his head.

“Nope, he doesn’t, and I barely even acknowledge him,”

He informed me and I couldn’t believe it.

“Are you for real? My wolf is literally my best friend aside from Win-rose, we talk a lot and she has the best advice most of the time,”

I said and Ae did a hurray, I didn’t lie, Ae has the best advice except when she wants me to jump a male.

“Good for you, mine is tamed and I am in charge, we are friends but not that close and he gives the worst advice,”

He replied and made a face that made me believe his wolf said something sneaky, maybe because he had a human mom and was slightly different from the rest of us.

“Not bad,”

I said and went silent.

“Yeah, time to seal our contract, mate,”

He said and I looked at him for an explanation.

“Huh? I thought the papers will be ready later,”

“Yes, but there are other ways to seal an agreement,”

He informed me.

”How?”

I asked seconds before I got yanked into his arms, I barely had time to process that before his mouth claimed mine, I gasped in shock and his tongue entered my mouth, I froze, not knowing how to react to the unexpected kiss, his lips moved seamlessly over mine and I finally got over the shock and tilted my head, kissing him right back. His big hands cupped my cheeks, taking total control of me, and then swept through my hair, tangling it up, he pulled back for a moment for air and I opened my eyes and watched him, He kissed me again and again, mouth open, both of us panting as he explored me: my upper lip, my

lower lip, the line of my jaw. He laid a trail of hot kisses and each one left the skin aching to be touched again, he claimed my lips in a deeper and more passionate kiss that made my toe coil, I did my best to match his energy as much as I could, my whole body was on fire from his passionate kisses but I wanted more.

“That, my lady, is how you seal a deal,”

He said when we parted, he looked super proud of himself while I was still trying to collect my thoughts.

“Wow,”

That was all I could say, my face was literally burning from the heat of the moment and also from embarrassment.

“Don’t worry, there will be more of this and we can take it further if you want,”

He said with a knowing smile, my body heated up again with the promise of what we might share and I felt my knees go weak and almost gave way.

“Oh, girl, you are in trouble,”

Ae cheered.

“Wow,”

I said. Still dazed from the intensity of his kisses.

“You want more?”

He asked with a sheepish smile.

“Yes, I mean no,”

I rumbled off my head which made him laugh, he leaned close and left a peck on my cheek.

“Good night Ari, thank you for agreeing to help,”

He said and he was out of my room before I could even respond, I was still kind of in la-la-land, where his kisses took me and it took a while to get myself together.

“Oh my gosh, Barrie, you are so embarrassing,”

I scolded myself as I lay on my bed covering my face with my hands, I lay there going over everything we talked about and all my mind could come to was the kiss we shared, I lay there with my hands on my face like a teenager who just got their first kiss, I smiled shyly when I remembered his promise that there will be more, I went to sleep with that thought in mind and dreamt of him coming back to my room and continuing where we left off.

I woke up the next morning and got ready to meet up with Rose. I wanted Kendrix to drop me off and I didn’t want him to wait for me or be late because of me, I was fixing her hair when a knock came on my door.

“Come in the door is open,”

I called out knowing it would either be Raul or Ken, either one of them was welcome.

“You are up early, I expected you to still be in bed,”

Ken said as he walked into my room, I turned to him and smiled, he looked so good in his signature suit, a proper businessman and there was me who was dressed casually in a pair of rugged jeans and a plain tee, I was tempted to send him out so that I would change to better clothing but I scolded myself and reminded me that I was meeting Rose not going to the office or anywhere formal.

“I have to meet up with Rose,”

I told him as I turned back to the mirror and I finished fixing my hair.

“Cool, come here when you are done,”

He commanded and I was up from where I sat and walking towards him, I was done away. He beckoned for me to sit next to him and I did.

“I got this for you to sign,”

He said and I realized he had a file with him, I didn’t even notice until he mentioned it.

“Wait, how come you already have a contract out so early in the morning? Did you already draft it out before you asked me?”

I asked, suspiciously, it was too fast for him not to have done it before coming to ask me.

“Ari, I didn’t even think about it until we talked yesterday, plus, it is literally a single page, I did it when I woke up this morning, just go through and sign, if you want me to add something else then I will, you know why we are signing a contract right?”

he asked and I nodded, taking the paper from him and going through it.

“I know, just in case I decide to run away right? I told you, I won’t, I want to help you,”

I said still going through the paper, it wasn’t complex in any way, just a list of things we stand to gain and the dos and don’ts, there weren’t many don’ts, there was just one which stated that I can’t run away without prior notice, I had no intentions of doing that, at least not right now.

“Be serious Ari, you know that’s not it,”

He scolded.

“I know, I am just joking, I trust you, Ken,”

I replied, I saw a clause that made my whole body heat up, I was once again reminded of the steamy kiss we shared last night, why did he have to include it here?

“Did you really have to add this?”

I asked and he gave me a knowing look.

“I mean, I had to, what’s life without a little fun, I know you want me,”

He said and I looked away, my face heating up.

“Don’t be shy, you are not alone,”

He added.

“You are impossible,”

I said as I collected the pen from him and signed.

“You don’t have anything to worry about Ari, you will not regret doing this with me,”

He told me as he got up, I did too.

“I know, I hope this works out as planned,”

“I hope so too,”

He said and I nodded.

“So can you drop me off on your way to work? I have a wedding to plan and it is less than two weeks away,”

I told him and he smiled.

“Of course, anything for my lady,”

He said and pulled me to him. I expected his kiss this time and I was ready for it, I wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him right back, I couldn’t deny the fact that I was addicted to the taste of his mouth and I wanted so much more.

“We have to leave,”

He said as he eased out of the kiss and dropped another on my forehead, I smiled and he did too and we both stood there staring at each other and not letting go, I wanted to know what was going through his head as he stood watching me because the thoughts that were going through mine would see us not leaving the house today, it was his fault for feeding my head with ideas last night.

“Arielyn!”

I heard Raul call and we both pulled apart so fast that I almost fell, the young boy’s head popped out of my door a few seconds later, and he looked from Ken to me.

“I thought you left already,”

He said to Ken who waved the paper he held.

“I came to get this,”

He said and Raul nodded, turning to me.

“You are going out again?”

He asked and I heard the disappointment in his voice. I haven’t been spending a lot of time with him and that made me feel bad.

“Yeah, Raul, she is, her friend is getting married and she has to help her out,”

Ken told him in my place.

“I know that, can I come with you? I don’t want to stay here, I get bored,”

Raul said and for a moment I thought he was referring to me but he was looking at Ken.

“Are you talking to me or Arielyn?”

Ken asked and Raul pointed at him.

“Sure, you can,”

Ken said and looked at me. It was nice seeing that Raul wanted to go out again, now that I didn’t have to leave, I would make sure to become even more of his friend. I liked both of them a lot and wanted to be a part of their life.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
