bathing
suit?"
    "If that's what
you want to call it." He replies huskily looking over my
body.
    I blush. "Okay,
where are we swimming?"
    He stands up
carrying me to out of the room. I turn my head trying to see where
we're going. I see his living room and through the French doors is
an underground pool. He walks outside and sets me down on a patio
chair. He kisses my lips softly. "I need to change. I'll be right
back." I nod and watch the water. Thinking over the past half hour
I'm still a little shocked. I didn't even know my dad worked for
Lennox. I hear the doors open and my heart rate picks up at the
sight of him coming towards me in black board shorts and nothing
else.
    I look away and
walk to the edge of the pool and dip my toe in. It's the perfect
temperature. I jump in and Lennox does the same. I surface and wipe
the hair out of my face.
    "My dad works for
you?"
    "Yes. Most of the
pack does."
    "Do you like
being the Alpha?" He nods. I want to ask him why he's choosing to
claim me. I bite my lip and think of other things to ask him. "Why
did you choose me? You don't even know me." I blurt.
    His expression
doesn't change as he looks at me. "I might not know everything
about you but I can tell you're different."
    "I'm not
different."
    "Yes, you are.
You're better." He states.
    I shake my head.
This is what he comes up with? This is why he wants me? "I'm not
better than anyone." I disagree again. "You're going to be very
disappointed when you see that."
    "You're perfect.
That statement alone tells me that."
    I decide to drop
the subject. It could have been worse. At least he didn't say he
likes me because of my looks. "You're not at all concerned about
potentially having pups as small as I am?"
    He growls lowly
in his throat. "No, the only concern I have about that is wanting
to claim you at this moment. Don't talk about making pups if you
want to leave here a virgin."
    My mouth drops
open and I look away blushing. There's something about knowing he
wants me that makes my blood rush through my veins. I feel my
nipples tighten and I get even more embarrassed. I know he notices,
he never misses a thing. I start to back away from him.
    "Don't move
another inch." I freeze. I can hear his breathing has changed; he's
fighting with his wolf. "Don't move away from me, it makes me think
of chasing you, mating you."
    I nod. When he's
in control of himself I say, "I should go home. I need to shower
before dinner." He doesn't reply. He just gets out and pulls me out
after him. We walk to a lounge chair with towels on it and he wraps
a towel around my shoulders. He doesn't towel off but walks into
the house and I follow him.
    We go out of the
front door and he lifts me up into his truck and drives me back
home. I know there's going to be a lot of questions. Good thing I
told Marta most of it or it would be even worse.

    Happy Birthday
!
    Alpha Lennox
Hall
    I glance at the
door one last time and pull away. Frustrated as hell. Three times
we were interrupted; twice I was on the verge of lifting my hips
and grinding myself against her. She is so small and perfect.
Holding her cemented the fact that I won't want another as badly as
I do her.
    I was working my
way through her defenses then her parents showed up. Things
changed, she was more aware than the first time. She responded but
she was still wary of me. Taking her to the pool was another bad
idea. I couldn't stop staring at her. She has no idea what she can
do with one look. When she started talking about pups, I lost it.
My plan to make her feel safe with me evaporated. I saw the shock
when I told her she shouldn't talk about it if she wants to keep
her virginity. Dammit!
    I need her to
trust me. Yet, I want her to know how badly I want her, too. I know
I have to take it slow but I doubt I can. The mark I left on her
neck is evidence enough. I almost marked her today and she would
have let me. I don't know if it’s her innocence, or if she trusts
me not to mark her
