Hunter was beyond mesmerized watching Isabelle marveling at the pink stars. He was the one doing the magic but he knew with every part of him that the real magic is Isabelle. Suddenly his five hundred years of slumber were worth it. Noticing the eyes of Hunter on her, she calmed down and moved closer to him. His heart was beating heavily and he tried his best not to unleash his inner demons. Isabelle got close, suddenly feeling braver than she had ever been in her life, she wrapped her arms around Hunter.
"If this is your way of wooing me, consider me wooed." Hunter wrapped his arms around her waist and drew her closer shortening the space between them. Time seemed to have paused and the only thing they could hear is the sound of their heart throbbing. Hunter, with all his heightened sense, was deaf and blind to his surroundings. It was safe to say that the world started from where she was standing and ended where he stood. There were unable to know who came close, all they knew was their lips locked. Isabelle deepened the kiss as every cell in her body was screaming in ecstasy. Hunter traced his hands up and found his hands moved to her bosom and cupped it making Isabelle moan. Her carnal sound was nothing but a sweet melody to Hunter making him lose more control. He moved to her neck, nibbled, and sucked it, he was overwhelmed with the urge to mark her and mate her. He had no idea which feeling was greater, he knew taking this further will result in him doing the two. So, he used all his might to push himself back and created space between them.
"What's wrong?" Isabelle asked as she came closer and Hunter moved back. She feared that her inexperience was a major turn-off for Hunter. She blamed herself for not having more practice before meeting Hunter.
"I might lose control and that's going to be bad." Hunter stated the fact and felt ashamed as he couldn't control himself. Isabelle breathed a sigh of relief as her greatest fear turned out not to be the problem. She went close to him and smiled and felt happy as Hunter respected her enough to keep himself in check.
"I am yours, down to my last DNA, I'm all yours. So, do with me as you please." She assured him. When he touched her, she felt the butterfly flutter and her inside giddied up with joy. Hunter knew he would still mark her and mate her, but he didn't want that now. He carried her inside to change their cloth and plan on how to tell everyone. Hunter smirked as he imagined how Amy would react when they tell her.
Hunter offered Isabelle one of his shirts to put on and also left to give them the privacy of changing into it. Isabelle was happy that her mate was a gentleman and not one of the savage Alphas she has heard of. After drying herself and putting on the shirt she went down to join Hunter who was waiting for her in the kitchen. He was just putting on his pants which hug his thigh tightly displaying how muscular he is. His abs were out on display for Isabelle to watch and she certainly took her time to memorize every inch of It. They took their time to openly marvel at each other and memorize the skin they had exposed. Hunter watched her straight legs and exposed thigh and smile inwardly knowing it all belonged to him. After watching each other, Hunter offered her hot tea, and she sat on the kitchen island to drink it while they talk.
"So, how should we tell people?" she asked as she sips the tea. She was sitting with her leg crossed and her lime smell was too intoxicating for Isabelle. Unlike humans, that doesn't have a heightened sense it was easier for her to calm herself after what they did in the lake. For Hunter it's different, he could smell her and hear the blood pumping in her veins, his perception of time is also different since he is faster. For Hunter, Isabelle just casually sitting before him is nothing short of torture, sweet torture.
"Erm," he coughed as he felt his throat dry up "whatever you decide." People's opinions never mattered to him.
She looked away deep in thought, Hunter took the time to capture her facial expressions. Isabelle saw the sunglass she gave Hunter lying in the corner and she smiled, it gave her the answer to what she had just been thinking of.
"I prefer it stays hidden for now because I don't want to be the center of attention just yet." She knew how the world would upturn when they found out that Hunter's mate is a mere human. She also knew sooner than later the truth would be known and things would change so she just want to be a teenage girl that has just fallen in love just a little longer.
Hunter understood and also think it was the best option. Thinking of how annoying the journalists were also made it clear that Isabelle made the best option. Isabelle yawned showing a sign of being tired. She is still a human and it was way past her bedtime, she wanted to text her parents but she had no idea where her phone was or what she would tell them.
'Hello mom, your daughter is mated to the most powerful being and she is not coming back tonight She smiled at how silly that would be.
"Let us go to bed." Said Hunter.
"Carry me." She stretched her arms apart and pouted. Hunter smiled at the gesture and thought how cute and innocent she looked. He carried her bridal style to his room. It was their first night together and Hunter was unable to stop his heart from beating fast. Hunter knew he would never be able to calm down his nerves so he made a mental note to leave the moment she slept off.
"Hunter, you are my ADONIS." She said as she drifted off to sleep. Isabelle has never slept off this easily in her life but today it was easy because Hunter was beside her. She felt complete and it was like the whole world is for her and nothing could bother her, no not even school. Hunter watched her a little longer and left after he was sure she was fast asleep.
"This is going to be a long night." He sighed as headed to where he left the whisky Jacob got him.
