My mate, My exception novel Chapter 20

Jake.

I could look at him all day. He looks hot. Smoking hot. He wear in straight jeans that make his legs look amazing.

"I'm taking you out." Were the first words from his mouth. I simply smile at him and pull him across the threshold into me. I put my arms around him, inhaling his scent. Standing here and inhaling Jake's scent makes me seem like a psycho, but his scent is literally intoxicating. In fact, just smelling his scent now makes me lean into him a little closer as my knees get weak. It's strong, like cologne, but sweet like apples.

"Are you okay with that?" Jake brings me out of my dreamy state with his question.

"Okay with what?" I ask confused.

He chuckles and wraps his hands around my upper arms. "Are you..." He starts, pausing to kiss my left cheek. "okay with me taking..." He moves his lips to my right cheeks "you out tonight?" He finishes kissing me on the lips.

He pulls back for my response and I quickly pull him back to me. My lips meet his again and I make sure he knows my response. I curl my hands around his shirt as my other hand wraps around his neck. He has both of his hands on my hips and after a few seconds he pushes me against the wall next to the door. His tongue is just tracing my lips when we are interrupted.

"Wow sis, you get around a lot more than I thought you did." I hear my brother Jeremy sneer.

I freeze as Jake jumps away from me. I close my eyes and clench my fists, which are now hanging by my sides. Jake shuffles in front of me for a second before he starts toward Jeremy.

"You must be one of Jen's brother's. I'm Jake, her boyfriend." He nicely introduces, sticking his hand out. I'm jumping up and down in my head for the fact that he acknowledged me as his girlfriend.

"Wow. Boyfriend and girlfriend already? Don't get your hopes up too high, bro. She's a loser and will probably break up with you when she finds out you're not perfect." Jeremy sneers and I send him a warning glare at him from behind Jake's view.

Jeremy and I's relationship is rough. He went though a hard time when he first started high school. I heard all of the stories and thought they were just rumors. I thought there was no way that my brother, my Jeremy, was really into the drugs and alcohol.

Truth is though, he was. When I found that the rumors were true I told my parents.

In a way, I saved his life. At the rate he was going he would have ruined his life by the time he finished high school if he would have even finished at all. My parents sent him to a rehab center in New York and he spent his sophomore year there.

"You think I would hurt my sister?" Jeremy asks, referring to Jake's protective stance in front of me.

"I think you already have." Jake simply states. Jeremy's shoulders sag and his eyes soften a tiny bit. It looks like he's about to break down, but then his hard facial expression reappears.

"She may be a useless excuse for a human, but I wouldn't lay a finger on her." He spits. Jake shakes furiously at his comment but I squeeze his arm until Jeremy is up the stairs and out of sight.

I'm instantly embarrassed by Jeremy's attitude. I just want to get out of this house and have my time alone with Jake. Plus, explain this to Jake was going to be a drag.

"It's okay Jake, we should just leave now." I gently sooth, trying to pull him towards the door.

"It is not okay." He firmly speaks, quickly turning towards me and wrapping his arms around my waist. "Are you still okay to leave?"
