Chapter 5

• He smirked and chuckled a little as though that were funny.
• “I was really drunk when I said that!” He admitted. That was no excuse. He sat on the sill next to me. I felt his eyes trailing over my form. I instinctively covered up before he could insult my body.
• “What’re you hiding for?” He asked.
• “I just…I know you guys don’t want me here but I came to support my best friend ok. She’s always been there for me and she’s really excited to find her mate,” I explained.
• “I never said I didn’t want you,” Isaiah said.
• “Here?!” I added the missing word for him.
• He didn’t say anything in response to that.
• “You’re turning eighteen tomorrow. We gotta stay up till midnight and ring it in,” said Isaiah matter-of-factly.
• “Um, ok,” I said cautiously, remembering what Noah had said about Angie using this opportunity to try to humiliate me.
• “Ok,” said Isaiah getting up and holding out his hand.
• I tried to shake the hand but he hoisted me up and pulled me out of the house.
• “Hey, n-no please I can’t swim!” I cried.
• Noah looked up worried. Angie looked pissed off to see me actually here encroaching on her quadruplet time. Jillian cheered when she saw me and Chet grinned. Isaiah pulled me along the dock. The dive from here would be into very deep water. He pulled me right in with him. I screamed and swallowed mouthfuls of water, spluttering. Before I could thrash about too much, Isaiah had me in his arms, bridal style, while he treaded water with me. I kept my arms around his neck holding on for dear life. Noah was staring at me, his eyes displayed anger and something else…
• “Put your legs around me. It’ll be easier,” said Isaiah.
• I did as I was told without thinking too much about it. I faced him with my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. He swam with me this way quite effortlessly. I was staring straight into his green eyes.
• “I like your bathing suit…how it has little frilly sleeves,” chuckled Isaiah.
• “I don’t like my arms,” I blurted out. “So I always wear sleeves.”
• “What’s wrong with your arms?” He asked.
• “They’re huge!” I cried. Why was I telling him all these things? How was I comfortable with the meanest Quad?
• He snickered. Here came the insult.
• “You’re tiny. You’re insane what’re you talking about,” he chuckled.
• The insult wasn’t very insulting. Tiny? Was he insane?
• I suddenly became aware of his body and mine. I was a foot shorter and he must have weighed at least a hundred pounds more than me but it was all lean muscle. He was broad shouldered. His biceps and triceps were bulging. I could feel his rock hard abs against my soft tummy under the water. His chest was hard. He caught me staring and laughed. He flexed his pecs like those male exotic dancers did and I blushed deeply. His arms were around my waist. I wiggled in his grip a bit. That was when I felt it a huge hard bulge poking me nestled against my bikini bottoms. I gasped and Isaiah smirked.
• “See I’m not lying,” he said. “I like what I see.” His voice was husky. It made my stomach clench. Heat ignited in my lower belly.
• Isaiah rocked his hips against me a little.
• “Don’t,” I protested weakly. He stopped immediately to my relief. I didn’t wanna be used by him and his brothers and go back to school on Monday feeling like a stupid slut.
• “May I ask why?” He said rather politely.
• I said the only thing I could think of. “I’m saving myself for my mate.”
• “So you’re a virgin?” He said, his green eyes darkening.
• “You knew that already. Can’t you smell it?” I asked.
• Alphas and other powerful wolves could smell if a she-wolf was mated or unmarked.
• “Yeah I can smell it,” he said softly.
• Water splashed in my face. I squealed. I had been so engrossed in my strangely captivating and intimate conversation with Isaiah I had forgotten we were here with others. Angie has splashed me. She tossed her head back laughing.
• “Clingy much?” She said snidely at my embrace of Isaiah.
• He was still holding me in the deep cool water and didn’t seem willing to let me go anytime soon. He had me thinking all kind of dirty thoughts I usually didn’t think, like what would he say about my other body parts. What part on me would be his favourite? Which part of him would be my favourite? I already had a strong contender making itself known as it continued to poke against my bikini bottoms. My core started to get wet in anticipation of him. Oh no. This was embarrassing. Everyone would smell my body overreacting to Isaiah’s touch. I bit my lip.
• “Hey! Come on, come over here, we’re having a splash war,” said Angie, just as bossy as when we were kids. She knew I couldn’t swim.
• “She can’t swim!” called Isaiah.
• “So both of you come here then!” Angie practically growled.
• “f**k off!” Called Isaiah eliciting laughter from Jonah.
• Maybe that was his catch phrase or something. I had taken things so harshly the other night.
• “Sorry,” I whispered to him, blushing.
• “For what?” He asked, looking truly confused.
• “For spoiling your fun,” I said sheepishly, frowning.
• He had to babysit me because I couldn’t swim. He chuckled.
• “You are my fun, you little i***t,” he said.
• “Hey!” I squealed at being called i***t.
• “What?” Growled Isaiah making me tremble as he pressed his nose against mine and allowed his eyes to turn black.
• He edged even closer, his eyes half-closed and his lips parted,
• “Don’t kiss me,” I whispered.
• “Why not, Star?” He whispered. He knew my name.
• “I’m saving it all for my mate,” I said, using the same excuse.
• “Damn, that’s one lucky mate!” growled Isaiah playfully.
• I giggled. I stayed like that for a very long time just holding onto Isaiah, enjoying the water and the feel of his body. Something hit me. How did I not think of this before?
• “Hey you probably have a girlfriend?” I said sadly.
• “No,” he chuckled.
• “What about Angie?” I asked.
• “She’s Jonah’s whatever the hell they are. They don’t use labels or whatever,” he muttered.
• Huh, so she did not have a claim for all four of them. She was barely holding on to her claim of the one. I smiled. I didn’t care what Noah said. I was already here and like Isaiah said I should ring in my birthday and have some fun!
