Chapter 12: Chapter 12

I nodded, shyly and looked down. I felt Sebastian's fingers touch my chin as he lifted it up so that my hazel eyes met his alluring, dark ones. "You don't need to be embarrassed for staring at your mate, Kat. You can stare at me and touch me all you want because I'm all yours, cupcake."

"Okay." I replied, quietly, still feeling shy and nervous, especially since he looked even hotter with his sleeves rolled up and his buttons undone at the collar.

He took his fingers away from my chin and leaned his head closer to brush his lips against my forehead. He pulled back and started the car. I let out a breath that I didn't realize that I was holding when he had moved closer to me. As he started driving us to my parents' house, I realized that I haven't told him where they lived. So I glanced at him as I started, "My parents' house is on-"

"Johnson Ave, Sin street, no. 10." Sebastian finished my sentence for me, and I looked at him in surprise.

"How did you know?"

He glanced at me as a smirk touched his lips, "Background check, remember?"

"Oh, yeah." I replied as I nodded in understanding.

"So you said that you wanted to get to know me better, right?" He asked me as his hands gripped the steering wheel.

My gaze were on his tattooed, muscular and manly arms as he moved them on the steering wheel. But his question took my attention from them and moved it to his very handsome face. "Yeah, I do before we mate or move in together. I don't want things to be like in the old ages where mates just get married at the spot. I want us to get to know each other better and connect first."

A smile touched his lips and he nodded as he kept his eyes on the road, "I want that too, so what do you want to know first?"

There was something that I have been wanting to ask him since we had lunch together, so I knew that was the right time, "Why is your pack top secret?"

He looked amused at my question and he glanced at me briefly before looking back at the road, "I'm sorry, cupcake, but I can't tell you now. I'm afraid that it's going to scare you away, I'll tell you everything about my pack once you meet them, but not now."

I really wanted to know because I have been very curious about it since I heard him say, 'top secret', but I knew that I had to be patient and understanding towards him. So I let out a small breath, "Okay, Sebastian. I'll wait until then."

"Then what else do you want to know?" He asked me again as he kept his eyes on the road ahead.

"Why do you have so many tattoos? And what are they all about? Not that I don't like them, I actually find them very s*xy, but I'm just curious." I rushed out as I stared at the tattoos on his neck.

Sebastian let out a chuckle in enticing, deep voice, "Curious Kat, the word matches you perfectly. And to answer your question, I have so many tattoos because I love them and some of them were done because of my pack. Each tattoo is about something different, something that I had gone through in my life and I wanted to keep its memory. I'm also very glad that you find them s*xy."

"That's amazing, I would love to see them all and have a closer look some day." I commented with an awed looked on my face as I tried to see what they ones on his neck were about.

His smile widened and he nodded, looking very pleased, "And you will even today if you asked."

I shook my head, "No, I would rather it be on another day after we've gotten closer."

"Okay, as you wish, my one." He replied as he turned the steering wheel to take a sharp turn on the right.

"So what's your favorite color?" I asked him as my gaze moved to his face.

"That's a cute question, I don't really care about colors, but I would say black and red. What are yours?"

"Golden and red. Do you communicate with your wolf a lot? Does it have red fur?" I asked him as I studied his dark eyes since I have noticed his eyes turning red whenever his wolf comes to the surface.

He glanced at me briefly with his smile widening as he replied, "Yes and yes. He wants to see your wolf, but I'm afraid that once he does, we won't be able to control ourselves and he will make me mark you."

As he said the last part, a delightful shiver ran through me as I felt my core tighten with want. I suddenly felt the urge for him to mark me and so did my wolf as she howled in my head, calling out to our mate. Sebastian suddenly turned his head to me and his dark eyes turned reddish as they dropped to the skin on my neck. His fangs started expanding from his gums and pressed against his lips as his gaze moved to my now very hazel eyes.

Both of our wolves were fighting to be on the surface and wanted us to mate and for him to mark me as his. Sebastian stepped on the breaks to stop the car and closed his eyes as he took in sharp breaths and let them out. He was trying to control his wolf and himself, and I was trying to do the same. I took in a shaky breath and let it out.

'What are you waiting for, little Kat? Let our mate mark us! We need him now, we want him to mate with us!'

'Be patient, companion! He will mark us and mate with us, but not until I know him better. Please understand that and wait for me, okay?'

My wolf sounded down as she sighed, 'Okay, I will wait.'

I took in another deep breath and let it out as my eyes returned to their original light hazel color. I looked at Sebastian to see that his fangs had retracted back into his gums and his eyes were now back to their original dark color. He was still breathing heavily as he glanced at me, "See what I'm talking about? Our wolves are both so hyped up for us to mate and for me to mark you."
