Mate (GxG) ✔️

Chapter 16

Alex's POV

It's been three hours, three fucking long hours since I saw Maya. She is upstairs in my room studying for her exam on Monday. At first I said she should come tomorrow and get some studying done at Lily's house tonight but she convinced me otherwise.

I wanted her to study tonight because I have something planned for tomorrow. We have our one month anniversary. I have learned through the years that it's very important to keep track of these things. Some girls really like it when you remember dates like these.

I am actually really excited but I wish it was under different circumstances though. I would have liked to fly her out for a weekend get away but I guess I should work with what I have.

At one point during the night I was upstairs on my floor reading a book but I was distracted with Maya's breathing. All I wanted to do was kick that door open and hold her. And by keeping my promise, which I now regret by the way, I made the decision to come sit downstairs.

I haven't seen Maya all week. Ok I did see her for a quick cuddle after school every day but it wasn't longer than an hour. So to say I am frustrated sitting here alone with my thoughts while my girlfriend is upstairs in my bedroom, is an understatement.

We are alone tonight, not that anything would happen but just having some alone time with her is what I need.

Believe me, these last couple of weeks my sweet innocent Maya has turned into something that I have fantasies about. The sexual tension is on another level. Every time we have a passionate make out session, I can feel her body wanting more, her heartbeat is racing and the smell of her arousal makes my head spin.

It takes everything inside me to stop. To stop me from ripping off her clothes and kiss every part of her body. It is literal torture.

I would give anything to make her tremble beneath me but I can't.

Not when she doesn't know everything. Being intimate will put us on a whole other level. So she has to know everything first.

But how do you tell a girl who is so sweet and innocent, that sex with a vampire isn't exactly normal. That having sex means I have to mark her and that means I have to drink from her.

She already thinks I am going to kill her. So telling her that would definitely freak her out.

I have tried to hide everything about me though. I am afraid that if she sees anything relating to me being a vampire that she will freak out. So I have made it a habit not to drink blood in front of her. I actually use the stairs in the house rather than jumping up to my floor. I don't read her mind anymore, not that she would know but I don't trust my mouth about letting it slip someday.

So I try to keep it from her, especially now. She has to focus on school. She doesn't need drama right now.

Regarding my special diet; It isn't going great. My body is weak, I don't have the strength to do anything. It takes longer for me to heal and my skin is so fragile.

Marcelo is enjoying this way to much for my taste. He has been jumping at me every chance he gets. He knows I am weak and he takes advantage because he knows this is the only time he will beat me in a fight.

I actually have a couple of bruises on my waist from yesterday. We had a little battle out by the lake and I was flung into a tree. It wasn't that fun for me.

"Alex" I hear the soft whisper from my mate upstairs. My immediate concern makes me jump up and sprint to my bedroom door.

I slowly open it up and see her laying down with her head on her arms looking at me. "Can I take a break?" she whispers but she knows I can hear her.
