MEETING HERCULES

"So what do you want to do while waiting?" Jason asked as he ran his nose against the crook of my neck.

I was now sitting on his lap as he had his arms wrapped around my waist.

"I'm not sure we can do what I want." I tell him with a giggle, making him shake his head.

"You know, it's only normal for wolves that have just met to jump right into mating." Jason teased as he kissed my collar eliciting a small moan from my lips. I never knew that I could sound that way, it was unrestricted and full of pleasure.

I felt something grow beneath me, I wasn't innocent or uneducated, I knew that it was his cock. Being in the presence of one's mate would always arouse you, that was the natural reaction of the body.

"Amaya, if we keep this up I won't be able to control myself." Jason whispered in my ear. "Those sounds coming from your lips only encourage me."

"Well, you better stop being so, so, so. . ." I was at a loss for words, it was everything about him that turned me on.

'Hot?' Ares asked in my head as I could sense here eyeing Jason. I knew she wanted to mate, she's been wanting to complete the mating process since we first saw him.

But there wasn't enough time, I needed to control my wolf.

"What is it, Amaya, I should stop being so what?" Jason asked in a dominant tone, one he hadn't used on me.

For some reason this attracted me just as much as his sweet side. He was simply, perfect.

"Nothing." I told Jason as I got up and walked to my bathroom. "Why don't I give you a quick tour of the pack?" I called out.

"That would be great, it's my first time visiting so I've never been around." Jason said as I heard him moving in my room.

"We should change and get out of all of this formal attire before walking around or we'll draw everyone's attention." I told him as I moved from my bathroom to my walk in closet.

"I think you draw everyone's attention wherever you go." He told me, making me blush. Luckily he was in my room and couldn't see as my cheeks turned red.

I couldn't understand why I kept blushing at his words, he wasn't the first wolf I ever flirted with and I had been told much sweeter things. They just felt different when the words came from Jason.

'It's because it's from our mate.' Ares teased me, making me shake my head.

I decided to go with something more comfortable, like my training attire. I just hoped that Jason wouldn't mind. I had heard of Alphas not wanting their mates to show too much skin, I wished he wasn't like that.

'Hasn't he proven to us that he is different?' Ares asked me.

'He has.' I agreed, I guess I simply didn't want to get my hopes up. I didn't want to expect him to be the perfect man, the perfect mate. Sometimes perfection could be boring and it was in those small imperfections that we truly found who we are.

As soon as I was changed I walked back into my room, only to find my mate, shirtless as he searched his bag for something.

I couldn't help but stare, his back was not perfect, there were scars, probably from battle. But his body was so well toned that I had to resist reaching out and touching him.

Jason's head suddenly jerked up, making me gasp as I saw his eyes turn darker than normal. It seemed that I had unconsciously brought his wolf forward.

"Don't do that to me, Mate." I heard him say in a much deeper more primal voice, it was his wolf, he had come forward because of me.

'Hercules.' I heard Ares say in my head.

"Hello, Hercules." I greeted him with a smile. "Do you mind giving control back to your human?" I asked him as I took a step forward.

"You smell delicious, mate." Hercules said as he sniffed the air that was now filled with my arousal. Why did my mate have to be so damned hot?

"Hercules, you need to give Jason back control. If we mate now it won't be as satisfying." I told him as I placed a hand on his chest.

"My human is right, you are a smart and brave one." Hercules said with a chuckle as I felt his chest rumble beneath my palm. "I'll give him back control, but I'll be back tonight." I told me as his eyes went back to their normal shade.

"Back?" I asked Jason.

"Yes." He said with a nod. "You just smelled way too good, my love." Jason said as he lowered his head and captured my lips in his.

No matter how many times we kissed, I don't think I would ever get used to the feeling of his lips on mine. The way I felt my heart beat faster and my core heat up.

All I wanted was more, more of him.

"I saw you without a shirt, and well. . ." I tried to explain to him as soon as our lips parted.

"Calm yourself." He said with a laugh as he went back to his bag and finally fished out a shirt.

"Now, you find a shirt, after we were mere seconds from accidentally completing the mating?" I asked him, making Jason laugh.

"I'm sorry, love, but my wolf is on edge, he just wants you. Trust me, it's not fun in my head right now." He said as he pointed at his temple.

"It's not that fun in mine right now either." I responded with a laugh. "I've been trying to suppress Ares this whole time. If I didn't I'm pretty sure our clothes would be ripped and all over the floor."

Jason laughed and shook his head.

"So where will we go first?" He asked as the sexual tension in the room eased.

"Let's just get out of here." I told him as I held his hand and dragged him out of the door.
