"What?" Adeline gasped and jumped up only to stumble and be caught by him. She was so close to him that she could smell his cologne and by God, the smell was just too good.

"You okay?" He asked, stabling her and making her sit on the chair.

​​

"Oh yeah, I'm fine." She answered looking ahead. She realised that her friends were now looking at her. Damm, she had practically fallen into the arms of a baller and attracted the attention of the whole table.

"Umm.." She mumbled. "These are my friends; Marshall, Elizabeth and Christine." She pointed at them.

"Hello, " Xavier gave him a dazzling smile making Christine swooned at him. "I hope my girlfriend isn't annoying."

"Hey!" Adeline glared at him and hit him with her elbow making him chuckle.

"Not at all." Elizabeth smiled. "She's a great addition to us."

"That's great." Xavier gave her a wink. "Do you mind if I and my friends sit with you? We would love to talk with you guys."

"Oh yes," Christine jumped in to answer. "You sure can!" She had a sexy smile on her face.

Xavier smiled at her and had her make googly eyes at him again. He turned around and titled his head once in their direction. All his four friends got up and walked toward them.

"Alright," Xavier started as they came near. "This is Agustin, Ethan, Dante, Dylan and Sloth, oh I mean Seth." Xavier grinned at the end.

"Haha," Seth replied sarcastically and rolled his eyes.

They all took their place by bringing in some chairs and Xavier sat next to Adeline.

Adeline felt a little disheartened. Here she wanted to make friends but Xavier had popped in again. She was fine being friends with his group but that also meant that she was in the group because of him.

"Hey," he whispered, coming close to her ear, making goosebumps irrupt on her body. "Why are you sulking?"

Adeline wanted to punch him for that. Why were boys so clueless? He was lucky that she was not a violent person and settled at glaring. "Really? You don't know!" She hissed.

"If I did then I won't have asked." He felt a little angry, yet calmed down. "What are you upset about?" He asked gently. His mate was fragile.

"The fact that I wanted to sit with my friends but you come in with yours upsets me." She hissed with blaming eyes.

Xavier leaned back a little and looked at her. His eyes never left her face even when Adeline lowered hers out of embarrassment and looked at everyone sneakily on the table to be busy.

He leaned in and whispered in her ear. "I think it's time people know you are mine babe." His whispers caused her goosebumps to erupt.

"People don—I am not yours!" Her face burned at his words.

"You are, " he whispered. "And I know that you know it too. Babe, the goosebumps make a statement on how I affect you." He continued his whispering and with his finger, he caressed the goosebumps on her arm.

Damm, he was right. Her panties her damp. She wasn't used to the feeling but with him, it was often. The lust was undeniable. She had to sleep with someone.

"S—shut up." She mumbled. Looking away from his piercing gaze, she continued to pay attention to her food. That was more important than him. The panty wetter boy.

"Oh come on now, " he whispered in her ear. "Don't ignore me." He nudged her side.

Fuck, she felt hotter by the growing second. At this rate she was going to faint or worse, her heart would explode!

She narrowed her eyes at him. "What are you trying to do?!"

"Seduce you, " he answered without any problems. "I love getting you. . . red."

"Yo—" she choked a bit. "Do you not have any shame?"

"Babe, I won't have attracted you if I did and stayed away, looking for the right opportunity." He answered.

"And you decided to dive in, "

"I did make you my girl, now didn't I?" He winked.

Adeline opened her mouth to say something and in return, he raised his eyebrow. He seems to be ready for the challenge, sighing she closed her mouth and looked the other way. She started or continued eating her food.

When they were almost done with their lunch the bell rang. The guys said goodbyes and silently walked back. They didn't seem to open up and so did her new friends. It was a bit awkward.

Xavier was looking down at his mate who was saying bye to people. He loved her from top to bottom. That little curvy figure she had and he just couldn't stop. It was one that he had to resist but her curves and that ass was simply irresistible. He wanted to grope it, massage it and for sure, spank it. And hell he knew that if he got a taste of it, he knew that he won't stop.

So he settled for the next best thing.

He pinched her waist.

"Eh!" Adeline squealed loudly. Her eyes widened and she placed a hand where he and pinched her. Her eyes were still widened.

"What's wrong?" Christine asked.

"Everything okay?" Elizabeth asked. She looked concerned.

"Oh yes," Adeline replied. "I stubbed my toe." She then spoke with gritted teeth next. "Surprisingly hurtful."

"Oh yes, that is." Christine agreed. She stubbed her toes regularly and it hurt like hell every time. The current little accident hurt more than the previous one.

They all left and Adeline waited a bit. They still had five minutes and a warning bell to go by.

Turning around she hissed at him. "What was that?"

"What was what?" He cutely tilted his head. Why was she always this cute? "What are talking about?"

Whenever he tilted his head he looked way too cute to be true. Adeline felt like she had developed another personality inside her. Something that had more of a wild side. To think, It might be her inner animal.

God, now she had a horny animal inside her because of him.

"Seriously?!" She hissed. "That's mature of you!"

"So that is mature?" He repeated with mirth dancing in those dark eyes. "Alright then." Saying he started pinching her again.

"Ah! Stop it!" She screamed. Stumbling while grabbing her bag, she screamed and ran out.

"Oh come on," he taunted running behind her. "I thought this was mature!"
