Mates?

 Time seemed to pause as they both stared into each other's eyes.

 "Can you let go of my cloth? You are holding on to it so tightly that I can't seem to get up." The stranger said in a husky and sexy masculine voice that send shivers down Alyssa's spine.

 She had always prided herself in being uninterested in the opposite sex so much so that she hadn't the bit of interest when Lucas, her mate approached her. So, why the hell was her heart beating so fast at the voice of a stranger? Her cheeks had also warmed so much she must have looked like a tomato.

 She thanked the heavens that their position blocked the light from shining on their faces or else she could have died of embarrassment if he saw her red face.

 He cleared his throat when she seemed to not ear him.

 She then realized her actions and quickly let go of his clothes flustered.
