Chapter 7 - Hot And Heavy In The Kitchen.

Two Weeks Later....

"No Cole for the thousandth time, I haven't seen or heard from Natalia....why would I lie to you Cole? you're my brother for f***s sake....ok, I will....ok bye, bye"

Angelo hangs up the phone and runs his hand through his hair.

"What did he want this time?"

"He wanted to know if I've seen or heard from you"

"How did he sound?"

I don't know why I'm asking this because I really couldn't give a shit, it must be Lucky.

"Don't blame me bitch, this is all you"

Whatever.

I think to myself whilst rolling my eyes.

"Honestly...he sounded desperate, hurt and sad"

"What? why? he hates me, shouldn't he be happy that I'm gone?"

"You're his mate, Nat"

"Ex-mate, Angelo, he's my ex-mate he rejected me, remember"

"Yer, don't remind me"

Angelo's been gunning for Cole ever since I told him about him being my mate and rejecting me but thanks to myself, Emily and some of the guys, we've been able to calm him down and stop him from getting in his truck and going to attack Cole.

"Wait, did you say he sounded desperate?"

Angelo nods his head.

"When I told him that I hadn't seen or spoken to you, he got angry and accused me of lying to him"

"You are lying to him"

Emily chimes in whilst chewing on her ice cream, yes you heard me right she's chewing on ice cream, anyone who does that is the child of satan in my eyes, that shits not f*****g normal.

"And for good reason babe, anyway, when he was shouting at me he sounded so....just so desperate and sad, I guess he was hoping that you were here"

"Why?"

"Could be one of two reasons, the first one being that this pack is only a few hours away from his so it wouldn't take long for him to get here and the second one is because myself and Natalia have got a bond that is deeper than most peoples"

"What do you mean?"

"Angelo was with me when I shifted into my wolf and because of that, a strong, unbreakable bond was formed between us and our wolves that can't be broken, this is why the moon goddess made it so that our mates are with us when we shift because it makes the bond stronger"

"But instead of having Cole, you had Angelo?"

I nod my head.

"Should I be worried? like is that gonna mess up our bond when I shift?"

"No"

I say whilst chuckling, this girl can be quite dumb when she wants to be.

Angelo also chuckles as he pulls Emily into a hug and kisses her temple.

"No babe it won't, the bond between us is different to mine and Nats and that's because we're mates, whereas she's my sister"

"Oh"

"Anyway, we're gonna go to bed, we've got an early start tomorrow, don't be up all night, Nat"

"Yes daddy"

I said whilst mock saluting him.

"I mean it, Nat, you've got training with Brody tomorrow and he won't give you an easy time, especially if you're late or half asleep"

"Yes, I know Angelo, I have trained with him before, remember"

"Yes but tomorrow is different he's doing weapons training with you and you need to be focused"

"Weapons training, seriously"

Angelo nods his head and I squealed with excitement, alpha Jay has been teasing me these past two weeks about weapons training but he never specified when I'd be doing it.

"Yes so make sure you get an early night, ok, don't make me repeat what happened the day before dads birthday a few years back"

"What happened?"

"Well..."

"Nothing, nothing happened"

I glare at my idiot brother who responded by winking at me and laughing.

"Come on baby, let's go"

"Ok"

"One more episode, Natalia"

"Ok"

As if I'm only watching one more episode, Klaus has just come into it and it's starting to get very interesting.

About a week ago Amy asked me who my favourite Vampire Diaries character is and she was hella offended when I told her that I'd never seen a single episode of it, she also never spoke to me for the entire day because of it, like seriously you would've thought that I'd declared my love for Jay the way she was acting, anyway, she gave me her Netflix info and told me to binge watch it and now...now I understand why she was so pissed, I mean I'm only on the second season but I understand why this show has got such a huge cult following, it's so addictive, not to mention, it's got some pretty hot guys in it.

Two Hours Later...

I look down at my phone and see that it's only eleven thirty, one more episode isn't gonna kill me, right, I get up from the couch and go into the kitchen to get me some snacks and make myself a cup of tea.

The past two weeks have been the best two weeks of my entire life, I've made some great friends in this pack which is gonna make leaving this place even harder if I choose to go back home which at the moment is highly unlikely but Lucky keeps pestering me about when we're gonna see Cole again so she can communicate with Ace, I hate to break her heart but I have too so that she won't get her hopes up and be even more hurt than she was when we left.

I've been training twice a day six days a week, thankfully, I get Sundays off, isn't alpha Jay generous, cue eye roll here, anyway, I train with both the pack and on my own with just Brody who I've come to really like, he's a jackass but he's also a sweetheart and a really nice guy not to mention he's sexy as hell with the body of a Greek god, I swear his mate is one lucky son of a gun when he finds her or him.

Anyway, training has been a breeze for me and I've enjoyed every single minute of it, even though I wasn't allowed to train with my parents pack, I made sure to get private lessons in at the local gym for two years before I left, the owner of the gym is a werewolf and he taught me the basics of what werewolves learn in training, he also taught me a lot in kickboxing and normal boxing.

Angelo was furious when he heard about this and he chewed my ear off for about an hour telling me how irresponsible I was for putting myself in danger but he also couldn't contain his pride especially when he saw me take down one of the packs hardest warriors, apparently only three people have been able to take him down, those three being alpha Jay, Luna Amy and my brother.

Speaking of my brother, he's also had an eventful two weeks with Emily, as you know they're mates and they've been inseparable ever since they found out which is so cute well, sometimes it is, it's not cute when I've gotta witness their PDA moments or more like their OTT PDA moments which seem to get worse and more over the top as the days go on.

The pair marked each other a few days after us being here, at first they didn't mate because Emily wanted to wait until her birthday to make it special which Angelo wasn't happy about but he agreed to it to make Emily happy but her plan lasted a whole two days and they ended up mating now they think they're pregnant because Emily hasn't stopped throwing up and she's got other signs of pregnancy but the three pregnancy tests they took came back with two different results so they're going to see the pack doctor tomorrow, I really hope she is, I'd love to be an auntie.

Anyway, I was in the middle of singing the spanglish version of Havana when I heard a voice that made me jump out of my skin.

"I didn't know you knew Spanish, Nat"

"AAHHH!!, SHIT!!"

I turn around and my breath hitched when I saw a shirtless Brody leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed over his chest, f**k he's so sexy.

"Are you done checking me out?"

Urgh!!.

"f**k you asshole, I almost had a heart attack then, what the hell are you doing up so late?"

"I could ask you the same thing, sweetheart"

"I couldn't sleep, it doesn't help that my body clock is shot to f**k"

"Yer and it's probably not helping that The Vampire Diaries is on as well"

Asshole.

"Whatever, do you want a cup of tea?"

"Sure, only a little milk no sugar, I'm sweet enough"

I roll my eyes, he's so conceited.

"If you say so, Brody"

I make him his tea and give it to him.

"Thanks"

"You're welcome, so what's your reason for being up so late?"

"I just couldn't sleep that's all"

"Oh"

"I came down here to get myself a drink when I heard your beautiful singing voice"

"Pfft beautiful, boy you must be sleep deprived because my voice is anything but beautiful"

"Yes it is"

"No it's not, let me put it like this, if I could describe my voice in anyway then I'd say it sounds more like a dying cat with strep throat being strangled"

Brody chuckles.

"Trust me sweetheart you don't, your voice is amazing, listen"

Brody plays a video on his phone that he recorded of me singing and dancing.

"Oh my god, you recorded me"

"Yep, why wouldn't I? did you see how your sexy ass was moving in that video, how could I not whip out my phone and record it?"

"You're unbelievable"

"Just be glad it was my phone sweetheart, I wanted to whip out my coc..."

I slap my hand over his mouth to stop him from speaking any further.

"You even dare think of finishing that sentence Brody Mitchell and I'll make it impossible for you to ever use your d**k again, do you hear me?"

He nods his head.

"Good, now delete it"

"Hell no"

"Brody, delete it"

"Nope"

He plays the video again annoying me, I tried several times to get the phone from him which resulted in me chasing him around the kitchen and ended with him on his back on the table and me on top of him trying to get his stupid phone.

"Damn sweetheart, if you wanted to touch my body that badly all you had to do was ask"

"Shut up asshole and delete that video otherwise I'll get Angelo too"

I get off him and go back over to the kitchen island.

"Do you think I'm scared of your brother, sweetheart?"

"You're an only child aren't you, Brody"

"What's that got to do with anything?"

"Well, siblings are protective off each other especially big brothers"

"What like Cole is with you?"

My smile drops at the mention of my brother/mate, yes I still call Cole and Angelo my brothers because that's what they are, whether I like it or not, the Vasquez's raised me as their own and they're the only family I've got even if three out of four of them are f****d up, abusive assholes.

"I'm sorry, Nat"

"It's ok"

We sit talking for god knows how long, we were laughing and joking as we got to know each other even more but things took a turn when Brody started to talk about his playboy lifestyle and I asked him a question which turned our innocent conversation into something more.

"What about your mate?"

"I haven't met her yet"

"How do you know it's a she, your mate could be a he?"

"Erm nope, no way, I'm not gay"

"How do you know?"

"Because I'm straight"

"Prove it"

Shit, why did I say that? hopefully he didn't hear me.

Brody smirks at me as he moved closer to me, he cages me in against the kitchen island and presses his body against mine and I could feel how turned on he is, Brody then ran his lips and nose up and down my neck and I had to try really hard to suppress a moan, f**k, what is this guy doing to me?.

"If I was gay Nat then explain to me why ever since I first laid my eyes on you, all I've thought about is kissing your sweet, juicy lips and ravishing your sexy body, explain to me why I wanna f**k you so hard and give you some of the best orgasms of your life that you'll never remember your mates name ever again, explain why every time I look at you, all I want is to feel your hot, sweaty naked body writhe underneath me in pure ecstasy but more importantly Natalia, explain to me why I've had to do everything in my willpower to control myself from bending you over the closest piece of furniture and f*****g you six ways from Sunday not giving a flying f**k as to who's watching us"

Oh my god, oh my f*****g god.

"Be careful Brody, you don't want my big brother to hear you talk like that about me"

"I'm not scared of Angelo, sweetheart"

Brody's face was inches away from mine and I could feel the heat of his breath against my lips.

"Tell me to stop, Natalia"

"Why?"

I ask in a whisper.

"Because I can't control myself any longer, Nat and you should save all of your firsts for your mate"

I look up into Brody's stunning blue eyes and say four words which made him lose his tight grip on his control.

"f**k my mate, Brody"

In a split second Brody smashed his lips against mine in a very hot and passionate kiss, he wrapped his arms around my waist as I wrapped mine around his neck, Lucky was trying to stop me from going any further by begging me to stop and mentioning Cole and the pain he'll be in but that only spurred me on further, he's caused me a lifetime worth of pain so he deserves all of the pain physical, mental and emotional pain that I can give him.

I moaned when Brody's hands slipped underneath my shirt and grabbed my ass pressing me to him forcing me to feel every inch of his erection, he then licked my lower lip asking for permission which I happily gave him and his tongue invaded my mouth massaging my tongue with his.

I squealed into Brody's mouth when he lifted me up and placed me on top of the kitchen counter, he stood in between my legs and wrapped them around his waist as I ran one of my hands through his hair gently tugging on it which earned me a nice little growl from him whilst my other hand was tracing the outline of his amazing abs, f**k he's so hot.

"Oh my god, Brody"

I moaned as I threw my head back in pleasure, Brody was kissing my neck and sucking on my soft spot as he gently caressed my breasts through my shirt, I swear this man is made of pure magic, wherever his lips or hands touched left a very pleasurable tingle on my skin and it felt so f*****g good.

"NATALIA!!"

SHIT!!.

"Oh my god, Brody stop"

"Why?"

He continued to kiss my neck and I had to bite my lip to suppress a moan from coming out of my mouth.

"NATALIA!!"

Oh my f*****g god.

"YES!!"

"ARE YOU OK DOWN THERE?"

"I'M FINE!!"

"OK, WELL HURRY UP AND GET TO BED, BRODY WON'T BE HAPPY IF YOU'RE LATE TO TRAINING TOMORROW!!"

"He's right sweetheart, I might have to punish you if you come late"

Brody whispers in my ear as his hand starts to slowly trace the outline of my panties.

"Oh my god"

I whisper moan completely forgetting about Angelo until he shouted again.

"DID YOU HEAR ME, NAT!!"

"Y..YES, I'M COMING UP NOW!!"

"OK, NIGHT LITTLE SIS!!"

"NIGHT, BIG BRO!!"

When I heard Angelos door shut, I looked down at Brody who was already looking at me and smiling.

"You should go to bed, sweetheart"

What? is he serious?, I felt slightly dejected because I thought he wanted me but I guess I was wrong.

"Yer, goodnight Brody"

I jumped off the counter and was about to walk away from him when he grabbed hold of my hand and pulled me over to him wrapping his free arm around my waist.

"Don't look so sad, sweetheart"

"Why shouldn't I? I thought you wanted me, I thought you liked me"

"I do"

"Then why stop?"

Brody sighs.

"Because sweetheart I want you to be sure, I know you're still a virgin and I don't want you to give it up to someone you'll regret"

"But I won't"

"You don't know that Nat, losing your virginity is a special time for a young lady and I don't want you to regret who you gave yours too, who knows maybe you'll end up forgiving Cole or if you're lucky you'll get a second chance mate and you'll be able to give him it"

"That'll never happen, Brody, second chance mates are a myth and besides, I hate Cole"

"And I don't want you using that hatred to score points with him by using your virginity as a football, do you understand me?"

I nod my head as I look down at the floor feeling embarrassed.

"Look at me, Natalia"

Brody lifts my face up by my chin with his fingers.

"You're a really beautiful and classy girl Nat, you shouldn't give yourself up to just anyone even me, besides, even if I am the lucky bastard who gets to take your virginity, I'd wanna make it special for you and do it somewhere a lot better than here because I'm telling you now, the kitchen counter is no place for a girl especially one like you to lose her virginity"

I chuckled as Brody cupped my face with both of his hands and gently pecked my lips.

"Goodnight, sweetheart"

"Goodnight"

Brody smiles as he leaves the kitchen.

I was also smiling brightly, I really hope tonight was the start of me finally getting some happiness in my life and I don't just mean with Brody because he won't be around forever, he's gonna find his mate soon and whoever that person is, is gonna be a lucky son of a bitch but who knows maybe Brody is the key to me finding happiness with someone else whether that someone else is Cole, a second chance mate or somebody completely different, we'll have to wait and see.
