Intimidate me now - K. Green (good beach reads txt) 📗

me answering her while I was looking around the house. It was one floored house, with a living room, kitchen, two bathrooms and one bedroom. The living room was set up good enough for comfort. The couch was in dark brown color, almost black with two armchairs on the side. There were shelves on the sizes and a large TV. Flowers in pots were spread everywhere in the house. I heard a sigh next to me. “Seems like she’s not a talkative one. Do you know what we were talking about?” I nodded looking at my feet. “We were talking about mates. Do you know what mates are?” I nodded once more. “Good, do you know the process of that?” Why she’s asking me so many questions. It makes me confused. I looked the blonde man once again, he narrowed his eyes at me but nodded. “No.” I answered simply and clear.

“I guess that was obvious answer to you Grace” Adrian said.

“You’re annoying.” I blurted out to the ginger haired man and looked at my legs once again. Another thing they have been teaching us, is always tell the truth. Maybe i should just shut up.

“Marking is that mark you have on your neck right now.” the female, Grace said. “Basically you’re half way through it. Mating is when you two have sex.” she gulped and I read her. “Tell me that she knows at least about sex.”

“Do you...” I nodded right away saving her from the sentence and she exhaled in relief. “At least they taught them that” but instead she said. “Basically, Deimos, is your mate. The man who bit you.” I lifted my eyes from my legs and looked up to him. I held his gaze for few moments and I drifted my eyes elsewhere. But not on him.

“Its almost 6pm, it's time for us to go.”

“I am not leaving her with him” the man said again.

“It's her decision to make, not yours.” The female said as she stood up. “Hun, do you want to come with us or stay here?”

“I have to stay behind mates’ side.” I said automatically like a robot

“Like this didn’t sound forced to you?” he raged again.

“Adrian! Out.” The Alpha growled and he didn’t say anything else but leave the house together with the couple. After the door was closed and cold air filled the air, I was left all alone with that unknown man for me.  He was sitting opposite from me on the other couch.

There was only one question which was filling our mind right now.

“What do we do?”

 

We kept staring at each other in silence as the minutes were passing.

“Um…” he started saying as he stood up from the sofa. “I'll go lit up the fireplace in the bedroom” with that he left me alone in the living room. My heart was pounding hard and fast in my chest. I could feel it hitting my ribcage. I took few deep breaths. This man is an unknown for me, which meant I shouldn't get close to him so fast. He's a stranger, who I met yesterday, and talked to him once, how am I getting my mind around him every time he leaves the room.

I didn't hear him walk into the room until he said “The fire is lit up.” I jumped but stayed in my place not moving an inch. I jumped once again when a knock on the front door escaped it. Deimos walked to it eyeing me and opened the door. Another wave if cold hit my bare flesh making me shiver. He then closed the door and turned around, with few bags in hands. He walked back into the bedroom and I could hear the faint noises of opening and closing drawers.

I don't feel like at home, I don't know anyone in here, but what goes about mates and relationships? Sometimes I curse myself why I didn't read enough books at home. Books are entertaining, and lets you pass the time quite fast.

“Grace sent some clothes for you. Go take a shower and get in bed. “ he said and left for the kitchen. I only nodded following the orders. I passed the kitchen and went into the bedroom’s bathroom together with some clothes on my hands. There was a note on the countertop.

Brush for your hair and a toothbrush. Towels are underneath the sink.

I left the clothes on the countertop and took two towels. I placed on the hanger next to the shower and I stripped down. The shower had a glass doors instead of curtains. I turned on the water so it warms a bit. When the water was ready  I stepped into the shower and closed the doors. The doors fogged up by the warm water enough to cover my body.

After I washed my hair with his shampoo, because I didn't find a female one, I opened my eyes, only to find a silhouette leaning on the countertop looking at me. I raised my hand and wiped the glass enough the see through. Deimos was there. His eyes locked on mine, and for the third time tonight, we kept staring at each other.

“Open the doors." he said with a raspy voice and I did what he told me. I opened the doors of the shower. The steam left the closed space and it spread through the room, meanwhile the cold air kissed my skin giving me goosebumps all over my body. I hurried and hid underneath the water. I liked to be warm. While the hot water kept hitting me, I did nothing, waiting for him but he simply said “Continue with the shower."

By the time I finished my shower, I could sense him that he was tired and wanted some sleep. So i left the shower cabin and hurriedly dried myself and put the clothes on me. This pajama was shorts and long sleeved top which had written the words

“it's never too late to sleep”.

He left the bathroom and sat on the bed. I liked how warm the bedroom was. It was end of the autumn season, so the whole forest was in warm colors and most of the animals were making last changed into their hidden holes. A week or two left until the winter have officially came.

He patted the bed and I went on top of it. He went underneath the sheets opening them for me. I didn't wait twice for an invitation and i just went inside the warm sheets.

I couldn't really fall asleep, while on the other hand, Deimos fell asleep momentarily, so I just stared into the flames until my eyes got tired.

Chapter Six

 

It was about 5;30 in the morning when I woke up. Deimos was still sleeping next to me in peace and I decided that it's time for me to get up from bed and start doing something more useful than staying in bed doing nothing. I stood up from bed feeling the cold air and I hurriedly dressed up in skinny jeans and jumper which was really soft, as if you were hugged by someone. I walked in the bathroom glancing behind me and closed the door.

I walked to the mirror and looked at myself. Everything could be so much better if I wasn’t living in there. I mean it makes you wonder what kind of character you would be, no? All females were doing what they were ordered to do, in specific timeline and period, if the term weren’t met, well there are consequences. In here, people did whatever they wanted to. Teens went to high school, elders worked if they wished but it had to be for something which could be used in the pack as well. Like doctors or a lawyer for example. Consider the good memory and physical strength wolves have, none of the studies or work could actually tire them.

I took the black brush from the countertop and started brushing my ginger hair. I was brushing it carefully, because I loved my hair, more than anything. It made me think that I have something on my own, something that I possess that nobody else can touch, but only see. While I was brushing it quietly staring at myself in the large mirror, I was also wondering what breakfast should I make him. Well, I don’t even know if he’s eating breakfast on first place.

I left the brush on the countertop and brushed my teeth fast and left the bathroom for the kitchen. I was looking around the fridge n knew that he don’t eat here, or cook at all. Only thing in here was raw meat, uncooked bacon, some fruits, milk, eggs and a chocolate bar.

I took everything out of the fridge and placed them on the countertop. I turned the oven on and put a pan on it. I placed the bacon in there, and while it was cooking i turned on the coffee machine and started cutting the oranges, apples and pineapple in a small bowl for cereal. The smell of bacon filled the whole house, and I then i knew it was ready to be taken off from the fire, so i just cracked the eggs in another pan and stirred them until they were cook. I found a tray in the one of the cupboards and took it out. I placed everything in there, cup of steaming coffee, together with eggs and bacon and fruits. I was balancing it in one hand opening the other two doors in the house on my way. Large double doors lead to the living room we were last night, and the other one was the other bathroom with another small room with a washing machine and dryer. I closed the bathroom door and walked into the bedroom. He was still sleeping and it was barely 6 am, so I just placed the tray to his nightstand and turned around. I saw some clothes on the floor so I put them in the already piled up laundry basket. So i just took the laundry basket with me.

After everything was in the washing machine I knew that I had to go to the grocery shop soon, plus clean a bit this house. It was in dust, most of it. I found a cloth and started cleaning up the dust after I lit up the fireplace.

It was already half past seven when he showed up in the living room with an empty tray, and I was sitting in the armchair scanning one book which caught my eye. By the time he woke up, I actually did everything in the housework.  The whole house had smell of chemicals with small hint of lemon.

I closed the book when he came into the living only with shorts and sleepy face, yet empty tray. I placed the book on its place and took the tray from him.

“Good morning, and thanks for the breakfast.”

“You’re welcome.” I said quietly and started washing the dishes. He sat at the countertop licking his lips. “I free’d up my schedule today for you.” he said as i stood silent placing the plates to dry. “Me and Grace will show you around the grounds.”

I nodded and turned round only to find him not
