Chapter 61: Adore You

Harry

I knew it.

I should have known Spencer could never do that in a million years.

Even if for some reason he could do that, he still wouldn't hurt MY mate. Come on, that was staring everybody in the face. If he were harboring these types of feelings, the first thing he would've done was to tell me to reject Landon.

It would take a special kind of psycho to argue - convincingly, I might add - for the acceptance of my mate, all the while planning to kill him as soon as he gets the chance. That fact always boggled my mind, even with all the evidence against him.

Of course, I could be mad at him for knowing who the shooter was and not telling anyone about it, but he's right. As much as it pains me, killing a grieving widower would give me no satisfaction whatsoever.

I wasn't aware that Mr. Thompson lost his mate and son on the day of the attack, but I can see why that would drive anyone mad with grief. It's too much loss for one person to deal with. As I understand, he lost several relatives that day.

Though it ached me to hear him calling my mate 'that Barnett bastard', sometimes I forget about the incredible amount of loss that took place that day. Entire families were decimated from existence.

It's not a fact that I like to be reminded of, as I'm sure my mate feels the same.

I volunteered with surviving members to deal with the aftermath of that day, so I know first hand the terrible blow they were dealt. No matter how much it pains me, I can't judge Mr. Thompson for his actions.

He was wrong, of course. But so was Landon to make such a decision.

But then again, it was a combination of bad decisions that led us to this. So I can't fault my mate for taking a final stand, however misguided it can be.

Anyway, I'm just glad Spencer was exonerated from the criminal charge against him.

Once my father sentenced him to die, I felt pain like never before. It wasn't like the one I felt when my mate was shot, but it came very close. And Landon didn't die, thank Goddess.

Honestly, I'm so relieved to put this ugly chapter behind us at last.

Really, I can finally breathe again and enjoy my last week of freedom.

I have one week left on my vacation, so I plan on spending it doing what I should be doing with a very hot guy on my bed. Goddess knows I won't have that many opportunities when I'm back at Houston.

After we returned to Regency Falls on Saturday, Landon briefed his Beta over the developments - though he already knew Spencer was cleared of any wrongdoing.

I know Spencer failed to report the identity of the shooter, but fortunately wolf law is not the same as human law. I'm sure in human court, he'd probably be charged with obstruction of justice or accessory to the crime.

But wolf law doesn't work like that. The law only punishes the actions, not the neglect. Unless of course the neglect is criminal. If you leave your baby with the nanny and she lets your child unattended and something happens as a result, that's criminal negligence.

But failing to report the shooter's identity doesn't constitute an infraction under pack law. Though my father could have taken his actions to heart and banished him from the pack if he felt Spencer failed to show loyalty to his Alpha.

But given the identity of the shooter I don't know who could penalize Spencer. I think he already suffered enough damage just by being [falsely] arrested.

Anyway, I'm sure this is going to be the talk of the town. Though it already was before today. By dinner time, everything was normal again in the pack house except for Spencer who was not present in the dining room.

I'm sure he had a lot of issues pending with his mate, so he slept in. I would too under the circumstances. All I know is that I feel so relieved.

"How are you feeling, Harry?" - Felicia asked me as we ate dinner. It was just me and the Barnetts since Spencer was notably absent.

"So relieved, ma'am. I cannot believe I was this close to losing my best friend today." - I replied, breathing out a sigh.

"I can imagine. I'm glad the real culprit came forward, even if in the eleventh hour." - She said, awkwardly.

"Tell me about it. But the worst part was that he would die an innocent man." - I commented, deep in thought. I'd still cry if he were guilty, but dying an innocent man feels way worse.

"Of course! I'm so glad that this ugly chapter can now be closed forever. How are your plans for your final week of vacation?" - She asked in a chipper tone.

As she asked that, Landon gasped at the realization. Not that she's telling something new. But hearing her saying that out loud makes it more real. He frowned at me.

"I plan on making the most of my mate's company while I'm here." - I said, grinning at Landon who looked troubled.

"I'm sorry we only have a week left, but it's the college calendar. We will return on August 21st." - I told him, feeling bad. But it's completely out of my control.

"I know. It just gonna suck without having you here, but I'm trying to make peace with it. Education is important." - Landon said, not wanting me to feel bad.

"Trust me, it's gonna suck not having you around when I'm in Houston, but we'll make it work. It's not that far from here." - I argued, not wanting to bring the mood down.

"Of course, mate." - He agreed, pecking my cheek.

Later that evening, Landon and I were in our room but I could still feel his brooding over this being my last week. We brushed our teeth, got onto the bed and I came close to him.

"I know you're sulking over this being our last week together. But you can either see it as a chance for us to enjoy each other's company or you can stay brooding all week, then I'll be gone and you'll regret it." - I said, looking rather annoyed.

"Wow. OK, then. Let's enjoy each other while we can." - He turned to my side and held me close.

"That's what I'm talking about." - I said, feeling warm and fuzzy inside as he embraced me.

It's really gonna suck without Landon around. It already did just the day I spent away from him last Thursday. But we are not the first mated couple to be separated because of college, nor we'll be the last. It is what it is.

I can't give up on my education because of a dick.

Even though it's a really nice dick.

Plus, I could never abandon Spencer. He's gonna be without his mate as well.

Anyway, there's no day but today.

Or in my case, there's no night like tonight.

After a lot of cuddling, I slowly kiss my way into my mate's body. From his delicious lips to his mate mark, I work my way down his magnificent torso.

I do love my mate's body, but his ripped abdomen gets me every time.

Like a cat, I lick my way to his nipples, causing the bulge in his underwear to twitch. I relish in the pleasure my tongue causes on him. This never gets old.

Landon moans louder when I nibble his aureole, nearly drooling in pleasure. I take my time torturing him, getting him so excited for me. Our eyes glow in lust as I move to the other nipple, ready to make it mine.

My tongue dances around it first, making Landon's body tremble. I go slowly, inch by inch, dancing around his skin with my wet tongue. By the time my teeth grazes his nipple, Landon is squirming.

Soon enough, I continue to explore his body, alternating between kissing and licking my way down. I grabbed the waistband of his underwear to reveal his hard cock ready for me, leaking precum.

I engulfed what I could fit of his length and he moaned loudly. I sucked him like one would taste a lollipop, taking my time. Up and down, my mate trembles with pleasure.

I travel my tongue down to the base, licking his balls while stimulating his shaft manually. I could already sense through our bond he was nearly coming. But that's too soon for my taste.

I readily grab a condom wrapper and the lube, removing my underwear and placing the condom on my hard member. I use my fingers to spread the lubricant on his entrance, teasing him as I go along.

I throw his legs over my shoulder and position myself to penetrate him, carefully, gently. The initial thrusts are slow, sliding inside of him with ease. Landon smiles at my dominion over his body. A mischievous grin takes over my lips as I pick up the pace.

As Landon gets more pleasure out of bottoming, I get greedy.

I thrust deep within him, going in and out with passion and desire. As much as he can take it, I can give it to him. And I freaking love it.

My trusting is now faster, I can feel my wolf almost taking control as I pound his ass hungrily, with deep seated desire and blinding lust. I'm completely enamored by him and the more he enjoys it, so do I.

Momentarily, Landon starts squirming. I can feel him ready to explode, so I grab hold of his cock and with one jerk off movement, he explodes onto his stomach, dirtying my hand in the process.

Feeling him so fulfilled brings me sheer joy and I come profusely, filling up the condom. After disposing of the prophylactic, I collapsed by his side on the bed.

"You're so good at this." - Landon turned around to compliment me, eyes glistening with happiness.

"Thank you, mate. It's all for you." - I said, melting at the gorgeous guy staring at me.

"That's good to know." - He smirked.

"Shower and then you can take your turn too?" - I proposed with a naughty grin.

"It's like you read my mind!" - He agreed, enthusiastically.

Landon jumped out of the bed and into the bathroom. I followed him inside. We take a nice shower where I admire his beautiful physique. My mate is so gorgeous that it will never get old how much I love being intimate with him.

On Sunday, we almost missed breakfast time. I still haven't seen Spencer since yesterday afternoon, but considering what he and Ares just went through, I'm guessing they are making up for the lost time. No judgment from me here.

Tick tock. We will go back to Houston in 7 days.

I had a blast with my mate. We mostly stayed inside but even when we cozy up to just Netflix and chill, I love just being next to him. Doing whatever.

"I don't want to bring the mood down, but I'm gonna miss this very much when you return to college." - He said as we watched 'GLAMOROUS'.

"I'm gonna miss you too, trust me. But we'll still see each other on weekends, so we'll always have this." - I said, resting my head over his chest.

Landon caresses my head and chills run through my spine at my mate's touch. Goddess, I love him.

By nightfall, I finally met Spencer for dinner in the dining room. He was looking radiantly happy and I know that look. I was glad for him, truly. We had a nice evening, though my mate is hellbent on making the most of our last week together.

Not that I'm complaining.

Landon gets me naked and darts for the attack. He brought some cream from the kitchen before we came to the bedroom and he is spreading some on my penis, licking it off.

A loud moan escapes my lips every time he licks my shaft. I'm hard as a rock and he continues to spread cream on me, licking it afterwards like a candy.

His tongue slides my cock and I'm moaning loudly with its soft contact. He's evil. It's highly pleasurable but not enough to make me come. Once again, more cream and then comes his tongue sliding.

As he reaches the tip of my penis, his tongue dances around it. I'm gasping for air at how good this feels.

"I didn't know I was gonna be the desert tonight." - I snickered, trying to catch my breath.

"Oh mate. I've been meaning to try something new." - He said, finishing off the cream. My body is trembling from the extreme pleasure he caused me.

"Please, try anything you want! I'm yours!" - I surrendered, panting.

Landon smiled mischievously at me. He flips me and hover over my body. I'm lying on my stomach, then he pulls me from the sides of my ass, ready for me.

He gently penetrates me on all fours and I see heaven. Quickly, his thrusts become more confident and he's relentless. His hard cock goes in and out of me with ease, causing me to moan uncontrollably.

The pleasure is sky high as he goes deeper, harder.

"Fuck me, Alpha!" - I gasped at the intense pleasure. Landon is emboldened by me and really goes at it, picking up the pace with his deep thrusts that are making me fly off the handle.

I couldn't hold back anymore and erupted on the bed as my mate came profusely. We're both sweaty and our bodies are shaking right now. It's always amazing how we can feel each other's pleasure and excitement.

It's a different feeling when I'm the one topping him, but I can feel it nonetheless.

I guess this is the secret of werewolf relationships. We're so in sync all the time that it's impossible for any mated couple's relationship to fail. Even when they argue a lot - which is not our case.

"I'm so in awe of you." - I said after I removed the dirty sheet from the bed before lying down.

"I'm the one in awe of you, mate. I adore you and each minute I get to spend with you." - He said, making me swoon. I surrendered myself in a long kiss before we went to the bathroom to shower.

Damn, Landon is making a really compelling case for him. I can already tell I'm gonna have to drag my feet to Houston next Sunday. In his arms is where I wanna be. I simply adore him and I cherish every second I get to spend by his side.

A|N: Wow. It's getting hot in here. LOL

I'm glad they're having this nice time because death comes next. Oops!

Random fact: I actually looked up the college calendar before I wrote this. Rice really resumes its classes on August 21st. So does UT, if I'm not mistaken. I really thought they wouldn't return until September.

Love,

Léo.
