My Human Mate novel Chapter 76

I didn't reply as we both lazed on the couch. Him down the end and my head resting on this muscled thigh with my short legs struggling to reach the other end of the couch. His arm was resting on the back of the couch while his other hand drew lazy shapes and patters into the skin of my upper arm. I couldn't help but close my eyes and relax into the feeling.

"So," I said suddenly sitting up and looking at Michael in excitement. When he confusingly looked back at me I continued my sentence. "What are we gonna do?" My legs were now crossed and one was moving, jigging up and down from all my pent up energy.

Michael let out a tired yawn and looked at me flatly. "Sleep." he answered his eyes slightly brightening at the thought.

"Noooo, that's boring!" I exclaimed. Sleep was the last thing on my mind. I felt like going outside and doing something exciting, not sleeping. "We should go do something fun!"

"I know other fun activities you can do in the bedroom." Michael suggested raising an eyebrow at me and giving me this look that I was secretly drooling over.

"Don't be a pervert and let's go outside." I decided leaving no room for arguing. Since it was summer and the temperature was still half walm out at this time of night (morning?), so I didn't bother with a jumper. I sprung to my feet with a smile plastered on my face. Bounding over to the door, I stopped momentarily as Michael groaned, standing up from the couch and instructed me to put my shoes on.

Figuring that since he got up without much complaint, I abided by his condition and quickly slipped my shoes on.

"I'm guessing there's no way I'm going to get you to go to sleep now?" He questioned with a riased eyebrow. Reluctantly sighing when I said nope, he opened the door and gestured for me to go first.

The cool air was a weird sensation on my skin and I skipped down the at stairs and onto the grass that was slightly damp from the night air.

"What is there to do around here?" I asked with a raised eye brow hoping he suggested something exciting.

"Usually when I go outside I shift and just go for a run." He shrugged his shoulders as he made his way down to me. "Or to the supermarket." He added after a moment with a slight shrug and I couldn't help but smile.

It was hard to see him clearly as there was no moon out tonight, the stars only giving out a small amount of light.

I could however see Michael clad in only a thin pair of trackie pants and that's it, his tanned torso on display for everyone to see as he was making his way over to me. His hands were shoved into the pockets of the pants that hung low on his waist. As I noticed when inside, the band of his boxers couldn't be seen if he was even wearing a pair at all, so as his pants were low on his hips in a innocent way, he gave out a sexy vibe that made me question my morals.

When I questioned him earlier about why he was in trackies and no shirt he said it was only normal to do that. Since being a wolf and shifting often, the cheap summer trackies is what everyone naturally wore to bed. I silently thanked him for this, because when he wasn't looking I could check out his mouth watering body.

"Then shift," I excitedly suggested. "Or is there a place you've discovered while running before or a Special spot. Or we could climb onto the roof!" I said shooting of ideas.

"There's no way I'm letting you on the roof at 4 in the morning while on a sugar high and when you can't see clearly." He stated. He thought for a moment and through the dim light I saw one hand shift from his pocket to run through his already messy hair. "The only special places as you say it are about an hours wolf run away so that's like a 3 hour hike." He explained.

"So then shift." I suggested trying not to sound to excited. From seeing him in his wolf yesterday, I loved him in that form. As well as him not being a smart ass, he was playful and very fun.

Sighing, my fingers trailed from his neck down to his back so I was practically hugging him as he sat infront of me. He nudged his head next to my head, resting his head on my shoulder and I grunted slightly at the weight.

"Why does your head weigh so much?" I questioned him with a teasing tone. "You'd think if someone was as fit as you, their face wouldn't be this heavy.". Dramatically I made myself fall under the weight of his head.

A sound I couldn't really place came from Michael, but if I had to describe it I would say it was mixed between a whine and playful barking sound. It was hard to process it but I knew he was happy.

As I lay on the grass, Michael decided it would be absolutely hilarious the flop his whole body down ontop of me. The wind left my lungs as I laughed and struggled to get my lungs full with the needed oxygen.

"You crushing- me." I gasped to him in a laugh and I felt some of the pressure leave from ontop of me. "Dear lord man, how much do you weigh?!" I joked shoving him completly off me with all my strength so he would fall into the ground. A small growl left his mouth but his ears were flattened so I knew he wasn't angry about the shove.

Next thing I know I'm up and running as fast as I can away from Michael who was once again chasing me, his tongue hanging out as I laughed in joy loving the feeling of being ontop of the world.

We ran and laughed untill I was out of breath, exhaustion taking over me as I flopped down on the grass near the front porch. I jumped when an arm wrapped around my wait, but relaxed instantly when I felt the sparks fizzle on the surface of my skin. Glancing over I was met with the enticing deep drown eyes and a small content smile on Michael's face.

And with that we lay in the grass looking up at the sky filled with starts scattered here and there untill the sun rose above the trees.
