Calix Pov:

   I woke up with Amani in my arms fast asleep and from the looks of it, it seemed like she was having a great dream by the way her lips turned upwards into a pretty smile. Throughout the night she would curl up next to me and I'd hold her until she got too hot, then she would pull away and turn the other way around. That cycle repeated all throughout the night and the times where I would doze off, her sudden movements would send me on high alert and keep me awake.

  I guess it's going to have to be something I need to get used to, because I really thought that sleeping with your mate would be like heaven on earth, but at this rate it's going to turn into a nightmare real quick.

  Was this normal? I mean everything is a work in progress, but weren't mates supposed to automatically click like right off the bat?

  Maybe it's because she's human and doesn't feel the mate bond like I do. I admit that I do forget that she's human sometimes, but I constantly get reminded of it every time she opens her mouth or does something stupid. At first I did slightly have a problem with it, but now I appreciate the fact that we were paired together because I have definitely learned patience through it.

  I wanted to make her breakfast again, but I didn't want to leave her side. To put it lightly, I was conflicted with the choices of staying by her side and basking in her presence a bit longer or putting a smile on that pretty face first thing in the morning with some delicious food. God she had me wrapped around her little finger and didn't even know it, or maybe she did and was using that knowledge to her advantage by putting me through the ringer. Hell, it sure seemed like it with all the shit I had to put up with from her, but I didn't mind in the slightest, in fact I think it's kind of growing on me.

  She stirred in her sleep for the hundredth time and for a second I thought she was going to turn around again, but when I heard her heart practically beating out of her chest I determined that wasn't the case. She does make a convincing fake sleeper though, just not with me. I decided to not interrupt her while she was in the middle of her act and instead play along.

  She was curled up on top of me with her leg perched up on my own, giving me a full view of that scrumptious ass of hers.

  Was she doing this on purpose? With all the games she plays I'm pretty sure I wasn't too far off in my assumption and she was in fact fully aware of what she was doing to me. All of her nonexistent hard work was definitely paying off and even working overtime. Normally I'd give in, but she was down for the whole day yesterday from when I feasted on her the day before.

  I had work yesterday as well, so as much as I wanted to stay with her I really couldn't. My paperwork had already been stacking up from last week when I first met her and I really couldn't put it off anymore but that didn't stop me from checking on her. I had one of the pack nurses stay and watch over her because I couldn't and I even stationed my personal guards around the house to make sure she was safe.

  I left my office every hour and shifted into my wolf going back to check on her and make sure she was okay. I know that I didn't have to and it was probably overkill, but I really missed her and the day went by agonizingly slow without her presence around me.

  See this is what I mean when I say that she had me basically whipped? I've never acted this way with anyone before and it goes without saying that she was domesticating me, unbeknownst to her.

  She snuggled into me more letting out a small sigh of content as she got more comfortable. She looked so adorable right now with her rosy cheeks and nose and her lips turned slightly up into a little smile. It made me smile.... That was until she rocked her bottom half against mine causing me to groan as precum soaked the front of my now tight boxers.

  All she had to do was breathe in my direction and I'd be completely entranced, so this....... This was torture, especially when I'm trying so hard to restrain myself.

..............Fucking temptress.

  I don't know why she wanted to test my patience if she knew she couldn't handle the consequences because look where that got her:...on fucking bed rest. No matter how hard I try to understand her way of thinking, I can never wrap my brain around it.

It's beyond me.

   When her knee brushed against my hard-on she stiffened like she didn't know that was going to happen as she retreated it down on my thigh where she previously had it and started to 'wake up'. This is what I mean when I say she can't handle the consequences of her actions. Oh well, It's too early for her to be getting her throat stretched anyway.

Typical cop out.

    "Good Morning sleeping beauty." I said as I brushed a few strands of hair out of her face, earning a smack on the wrist. "Well damn, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." I stated blankly.

  "No, I just woke up in the wrong bed entirely." She said as she sat up whipping the covers off of her lower body and getting out of bed. Her plump ass was turned towards me in the process due to the rising of the t-shirt she was in and I couldn't help but stare.

  She must've sensed my eyes on her almost completely exposed ass as she snatched the blanket off the bed attempting to cover her bottom half and exposed my fully erect cock poking through my boxers. When she saw it she mumbled, 'Gross' under her breath as she headed to the bathroom.

  It did make me want to show her how 'gross' I could be when it came to her, but I reframed. While I waited for her to finish her shower, (More like rain from hell with how hot she usually has the water temperature.) I got out a black fitted mock turtleneck Henley that would accentuate my muscular arms as well as my toned back and abs, giving her a good piece of eye candy. As for my pants and shoes, I decided on some black loose legged Armani slacks and black Jaxxton Patent loafers.

  I heard her talking on the phone to her friend about their outing today and it wasn't my intention to pry, but when you can hear up to a few kilometers away like I can, it just kind of happens. In all honesty it kind of made me a little jealous because she sounded like she was looking forward to it, unlike whenever I mention hanging out with her. Don't get me wrong I'm happy that she's happy to hang out with her friend, I just wish I could invoke that same reaction.

  While Amani was doing her morning routine I was thinking of ways for us to get along better, but nothing came to mind. When I tried taking her out to dinner that didn't work, so I was at a loss and quite frankly sucked when it came to stuff like that, but it didn't matter, because I'd figure it out for her. If taking her out to dinner didn't work, I doubt something subtle like a picnic would work because she seemed like the type of girl who liked to be spoiled and luckily for her, I had every intention to do so and then some.

  I really do try to spoil her, but it's like she's working against me in that aspect. Maybe if I take her on a shopping spree and let her shop till her heart's content, then maybe, just maybe she'll see me in a different light.

  When I told her that I'd give her the money she paid for her deposit back plus an inconvenience fee for the trouble, she wouldn't stand for it. I knew that if it was anyone else that she'd accept it in a heartbeat, but it's like she has it drilled in her mind that I'm the bad guy and all I want to do is love her, like genuinely love her. I only have her best interests at heart and the only way to show her that I'm not out to get her is to change my tactics when approaching her.

  I could've waited until later, but I think she'd be rather excited to go on a shopping spree tomorrow and it'd give her something to look forward to, because I was planning to take the day off anyway; that way we could have the whole day together. I heard the shower turn off and after a while of waiting for her to come out I heard her faint voice whisper a 'Shit' before she opened the bathroom door on high alert peeking her head through it. Her eyes scanned the room in a frenzy scanning the area like a prey making sure the coast was clear of predators, before they landed on me with an irritated glint, which was immediately followed by a look of disdain. "Were you waiting for me to come out?" She asked cautiously.

  I stood up and she instinctively closed the door a little more, pulling her head back in the doorway slightly. Well that's not the reaction I was hoping for, but it's to be expected seeing as the last time we were in a similar setting she wound up on her back in blissful agony and I wouldn't mind inflicting it again, in fact I wanted to.

  "Yes, there is something I want to discuss with you." I said, grabbing my clothes off the bed.

  "Can it wait until I'm dressed?" She asked, looking at me expectantly. Damn, well she sure wasn't taking any chances with me, but maybe that's a good thing; because she'd definitely watch her mouth around me for sure.

  "Well it could, but I'd rather ask now, so you can think about it. With that being said, would you like to go on a shopping spree with me?" I asked her and she raised her eyebrow slightly before looking down in thought.

  "I forgot to mention that there won't be a spending limit and we can go to whatever store you want and you can get whatever you want." I told her, causing her eyes to instantly light up at the words no limit and I knew right then and there that I had hit the jackpot. She hesitated for a moment before saying," "I'll think about it."

  At this point I'll take anything as an answer and I sure as hell didn't hear a no. "Okay great. I'll let you get dressed and when I get back from work, you can tell me then yeah?" I said, unable to stop the wide grin from spreading on my face.

  She nodded her head slightly as she looked at me with the same look she had when she first popped her head in the room, which was basically telling me get the fuck out. "I'll be going to one of the other bathrooms to get dressed and then I'll go ahead and head out, so no need to see me off." I told her jokingly, trying to lighten the mood.

  I began to walk away towards the door once I realized that she wasn't going to say anything as she watched me exit the room before closing the door. Maybe it's too soon for me to joke with her.

  I went to the next bathroom over to get ready for my day at the office. I always kept spare towels in the guest bathroom as well as soaps and toothbrushes. The thing is, they were meant for the male members of my pack for when our meetings ran late into the night, and usually when that happened some of them who had a longer ways to go would just stay the night. Meaning that I didn't have any feminine products available such as feminine hygiene products, because I held onto the belief that I would someday meet my mate, and lucky me, it actually came to pass. All the more reason why going shopping with her was imperative. That is if she agreed.

  When I got out of the shower and finished shaving, I heard her exit the room. I wanted to see what she was wearing, so I wrapped a towel around my waist and headed in her direction.

  Knowing her, it's likely that she would try something just to piss me off. She must've heard me coming because her pace as she was going down the stairs quickened. I wonder if she forgot that I could outrun her?

  It goes without saying that she was obviously trying to hide something. Of course I caught up with her in record time and even took the time to analyze her clothes as I passed her oblivious figure. She had on a red dress with a deep v-line neckline showing off her cleavage which was meant for my eyes only.

  I took a seat on the sofa which was the one closest to the door that she'd have to pass in order to get to the front door as she was coming down the stairs looking over her shoulder to make sure I wasn't following her. She almost rushed past me before noticing my presence and stopping.

  "Going somewhere?" I asked as she let out an annoyed sigh. I should be the one doing that. The way the dress hugged her body was unreal as she shifted her weight on her right leg and I wanted to do nothing more than rip it off of her.

  She sure was bold today for wearing that in front of me thinking I was going to let her go out in it. "I'm going out with my friend today, you know this." She said putting her hands on her hips in protest. The nerve of the beautiful creature in front of me was something to marvel at for sure.

  "Not in that you're not, besides no one is here so what's the rush for." I asked calmly more so than I was originally planning to at least. "She'll be here any minute, so I wanted to wait outside for her so she wouldn't have to come in. Also, what's wrong with my outfit?" She questioned looking down at her dress before raising her head and tapping her pointer finger on her hip.

  "You don't have to ask because you know exactly what's wrong with it, otherwise why would you go through the trouble of trying to rush downstairs in order to avoid me seeing you?" I asked as I stood up.

  "But, if you really don't know what's wrong with it, I could always show you." I continued, as I headed in her direction, causing her to take a step back.

  All I had to do was move the neckline to the side and her breast would be exposed. "Fine I'll go change." She announced, giving in. "Damn right you will." I said as she turned around, probably rolling her eyes. I watched as she got further from my view before I noticed something crucial. "Amani?" I called as she turned around which only confirmed my suspicions as her dress contorted around her body.

  "What?" She asked, turning around. "Are you...." I paused as I looked at her ass not noticing a panty line. "Not wearing underwear?"
