HOLD CARRAMEL FOR THE FIRST TIME

James' POV

The walk back from the park had me smiling brighter than the fucking sun. She is finally all mine. The tiny little bean that promised to come to my room in a couple minutes, is all mine mine mine. And I wouldn't change one thing about it. I sigh in awe as I throw my self onto my bed. If one of the wolves saw me like this they'd probably all tease me for how love struck I look, though Sloan is already the first to say something.

'You're a love struck fool that's all sappy and gross. Ha. Could never ben me. I'm not as moved as you are by her charms.' Sloan claims. My answer is interrupted by a timid light knock at the door. The smell of honey and sunshine making me stumble as I lift myself off the bed.

I grin wildly as I head towards the door.

'Oh my Goddess! It's our Carramel-Bear! Hurry up and open the door for my princeling you stupid oaf.'

I snort loudly as I grip the handle and turn it open. 'Yeah, definitely not a love struck fool.' I chuckle at him. His response is only to hurry me up. I swing the door open to find my tiny bean fluttering his hands in the air as if he was trying to decide whether or not knock again.

I lean against the door as I watch Carramel's face turn a blood beet red and her eyes stick to my chest like glue. "Hello, Carramel." I greet, smiling at her lovingly even though she can't see it.

"H-hi, James. Uhh, sorry if I'm early, I wasn't sure …" Her words end in a squeak as I impatiently pull her into my arms crushing her small frame against the same chest she was just starting at.

I shut the door with my foot as I half carry Carramel to my bed. She giggles as I press kisses all over her face as she tries to hide beneath me chin. I throw her on the bed playfully and give her a little growl. She squeals again as she goes to hide behind one of the pillows settled on my bed.

"Please don't eat me you ugly monster!" She calls out and I snort in amusement. I'm a damn fine piece of meat if I do say so myself.

"Ugly monster?!" I exclaim, grabbing Carramel's foot to tug her into laying down on my bed. I lean over the edge my hands coming down on either side of her head as I look down at her in mock hurt. "I'm the fairest princess in the land so you better take that back."

"Never!" Carramel giggles as she raises the pillow she had been hiding behind to smack me in the face. My face is shocked when it falls back down onto her lap and the happy laughter that emits from my beautiful Mate only makes me smile. I chuckle and shake my head as I sit on the bed, leaning against my headboard as I gaze at her lovingly. Carramel sits up her smile still kissing a blush onto her roses cheeks as she looks at me shyly. She keeps her distance on the other side of the bed but my Rut wants to have her plastered onto my very skin.

"Come here, bean." I call and the way her eyes light up and her cheeks glow roses as she crawls over, makes my heart melt all over again. She settles in my lap timidly her back against one arm and her legs thrown over mine. My arms come to cage us in from the world so I can stare at her beautiful caramel skin and her luscious curls in peace.

Sloan tries to push forward too but I stop himherknowing that my baby beans little omega heart wouldn't be able to take the overstimulation all at once.

"I like your room." Carramel whispers up to my attentive ears. I raise my head a little to take in my room, never really have paid attention to it. I guess that's my privilege talking. Being raised as the future Alpha, as tiring and spiteful as it can be, also has its perks, like getting one of the suites on the top floor of the pack house. All Unmated wolves after they turn sixteen live here in the house, but after they meet and Mate with their soulmate, they either move into an empty house or have the pack build them their dream home.

"Thank you, love." I say to her shy form nestled so sweetly in my arms. "I been meaning to ask you about your birthday."

"It's in five days."

"Did you want to do something for it? Skip school? Eat some cake? Jump off the Empire United Building?" Carramel giggles at the suggestions, her hand coming up to hit lightly at my chest.

"No. I just want ice cream and can we go to the beach? I've never been." I stare at her plump lips making sure I heard her right … yeah that's why I'm staring at them.

"You've never been to the beach before?" I gap at her dumbfounded. Her eyes raise to mine at my tone only to squeal and lower them once she sees me staring at them.

She blushes furiously as a crinkle kisses her gorgeous face. "No. I never got the chance to."

I frown thinking about all the trips I took with my family and friends. "Not even with your family? Where do you go on vacations?" I wonder aloud not understanding how anyone can reach the age of sixteen without going to the beach at least once. I'm pulled out of my thoughts when I hear a sniffle, I looks down instantly, my worry spiking when I see Carramel with her head down, lowered in what seems like shame as she avoids my eyes.

"I don't have a family." She whispers and the way she says it, the words heartbroken and watery and in such pain, I wish I could take my insensitive words and shove them straight back into my dumb big mouth.

'Oh look, you big fat bitch you made my baby cry.' Sloan bitches at me, though I don't need any reminder of how shitty and inconsiderate I've been to my bean today.

I tighten my hold on Carramel and begin to press kisses to every surface I can reach. Her neck. Her lips. Her forehead. Her shoulder. Her neck. She started giggling around the kiss to her forehead but by that time I was already addicted to the sounds of her giggles and the breathy sighs that's coming my way.

I lift her chin so that her eyes are looking at me even if they glance down every couple of seconds. I press a feather light kiss to her mouth loving the way she tried to follow me as I pull away. "Perfect." I whisper as I stare at her. Carramel's answering blush and smile make my heart skip a beat, but the dumb thing picks up its pace in no time when Carramel puts her tiny little hands on either side of my face and pulls my lips closer to her cherry red ones.

I let my baby take the lead and it has Sloan and I swooning at the fact that she's taking such initiative. She presses little fluttering kisses to the corners of my mouth and then fully on my lips that has me smiling between each one. When she pecks my bottom lip and lifts her gorgeous eyes to look at me, I growl out in contentment. My hand thats curls around her back, comes up to slip beneath her shirt to kiss her bare back with my fingertips. The way she whimpers and shivers into our pecks and kisses has my dick straining to get to her in thoughts of fucking her into the bed with my Marks and scent covering her like a blanket.

I pull away from my little bean, trying to keep myself under control so I don't go too fast for me or her. I've never been one for touching, an effect of being alienated for more than half my life so I can train. As much as I adore Carramel I'm not quite sure I'm ready for that yet. But the way she follows my lips and pout as I pull away, I can tell my shy little vixen is going to be hard to deny.

I chuckle that the pretty little lip that's pouting away at our little bit of newfound space as she smacks me in the chest again.

"Teasing isn't very nice." Carramel tells me cheekily but shyly, hiding herself under my chin from my curious eyes.

"Well pouting is adorable so keep it up, bean." I tell her in response giving her a content sigh and a little peck on the top of her head. She huffs in response and goes to move off of my lap but I hold her tightly before lifting her head with my fingers and giving her another peck on her plush lips. She sighs in contentment and settles back in my arms without further complaint making me shake my head as I hold my Carramel-baby for the first time.
