The kiss didn't last long because Xander suddenly pulled away and started kissing down my neck. When his lips came in contact with my newly made mark it was like a bolt of lighting ran through my body. A loud gasp came out of my mouth and I felt Xander smirk against my skin.
"An 'adorable' guy couldn't make you feel like that." Xander said with a smirk as he pulled away from me. I could feel the warmth in my cheeks and my heart was beating rapidly.
I glared up at him before smacking his chest. "Shut up." Xander let out a loud laugh and rested his forehead against mine. I couldn't help but to smile at the sound.
We stayed in a peaceful silence for quite some time, just enjoying the feeling of being together and connected on a higher level then before.
"Its late we should probably head out now." Xander broke the silence. My eyes had been closed and I was halfway to sleep when he spoke so I jerked my head up in surprise. I rapidly blinked my tired eyes ,trying to regain my vision, and looked to see Xander staring at me lovingly.
"Okay." I answered when his words finally registered in my mind. A yawn came out of my mouth as I slowly climbed to my feet. Xander was standing a few feet away and when I slightly stumbled he chuckled and came towards me. He placed his arms around me before effortlessly lifting me into his arms.
I sighed happily and wrapped my arms around his neck. My head rested on his chest and I felt content. When we made it back to the car Xander gently placed me in the passenger seat before jogging around to his side.
The ride home was pretty much spent in silence and when we finally did arrive at my house Xander took the keys out of the ignition and climbed out of the car. He opened my door and grabbed my hand, helping me out.
I smiled when Xander clasped my hand, interlocking our fingers. We walked up to my door in silence and stopped on the porch. I turned to my mate and let a big smile come onto my lips.
"I had a great time tonight." I spoke honestly. Xander grinned down at me before clasping his arms around my waist and bringing my body to his. I smiled and placed my hands on his chest.
"So did I, even though you cant ice skate to save your life." He joked. I gasped and frowned up at him.
"I thought I did pretty good." I stated with a pout.
"Mmhmm." Xander answered before lowering his head down to mine. My breath caught in my throat as he gently placed a small and tender kiss on my lips. He then dropped down to my neck. Xander took in a deep breath of my scent before laying a feather light kiss to my mark.
"Thanks mom." I answer when she finally pulled away. She smiled before stepping back to my fathers side. I frowned and looked down at my feet, I could feel my dad staring at me but I didn't want to look up.
"Paisley." My dad started. I sighed and rested my eyes on him. He didst look angery anymore but he did look worried.
"What?" I questioned. He sighed and ran a hand through the dark hair that we both shared.
"Are you sure that your not moving to fast?" He finally questioned. I nodded my head.
"Im sure." I answered after a moment. Dad smiled at me before taking me into a hug.
"Im glad that you're happy but you better hold off that mating for a while or Im getting out my shotgun." He spoke teasingly burns I could hear the slight seriousness in his voice.
