But check out the new story I started called "Openly Straight"

Enjoy!

Luke's POV

All I've done for the past week at home is...nothing. Parker has done everything for me, though it's sweet that he wants to help out, it got old really fast. 

All I hear him say is "Do you need anything?", "Oh let me do that for you.", or even "Let me help you take a shower."

I swear to got if he does one more thing for me I'll explode. The doctor even said I was meant to start doing things on my own again and Parker just isn't helping.

Well, he's helping, but not in the way he's supposed to.

Standing up slowly, I begin to make my way down the hall and to the bathroom, but as if sensing that I stood up, Parker comes shooting out of his own room and placing an arm around my waist.

 "Let me help you with-"

"I can do it by myself,"

"No you can't"

"I'm not an invalid, Parker. I can do it by myself, just a bit slower than normal." I tried pushing on his chest to make him back away from me, but it was no use. With his stupid werewolf strength, he just wouldn't budge.

He sighed and took a step back, running a hand through his short brown hair. "I know I'm hovering way too much, but I can't help it. I really can't, it's in my blood to protect my mate. I would give my life for you in a second and...I love you, so much. I just want to help you any way I can."

Parker pulled me into his arms so that my arms were folded against his chest and my head went into the crook of his neck. His arms were wrapped around me as I spoke, "And you can, just- I need to do some things on my own. I am healing and I can handle most anything. I haven't fainted at all and I don't need you to baby me."

He kissed my forehead, "I know, Luke. I know."

Parker's POV

"Hey, I'm going to go to the store okay? Do you need anything?"  I asked Luke as I walked into the living room. He looked up from the movie he was watching, which by the looks of it would be The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

He shook his head and then held his arms out, motioning me over. I smiled and when over to him, leaning down to kiss him.

I grabbed his face and pushed my tongue inside of his mouth, moving my lips against his more feverishly. I suddenly got this urge and I pushed him back on the couch gently so that I was lying on top of him.

I put one hand on either side of his head and tilted my head to the right a bit more, to get a better angle and wedged both of my legs in between his.

I pulled back slightly, beathing hard, only to trail small kisses from the corner of his mouth to the spot below his ear, above my mark, where I knew I could make him moan.

And moan he did.

"Seriously? I asked you to go to the store to buy stuff for dinner like twenty minutes ago. Can you stop swallowing each other for five seconds? I really need to get started on dinner."

I groaned and pulled away from Luke's neck where there were about five new hickeys. Resting my forehead against his, I closed my eyes and inhaled his scent.

"Alright, alright, I'm going. I'm sorry I just can't help it. The need to be near him is getting stronger and I don't know why. I feel like I need to be with him 24/7."

My mom gained a knowing look and I frowned. "What?" 

"I'm going to be blunt and you are going to answer me honestly and then you are going to the store, okay?" She had an annoyingly sweat smile on her face and I knew this was going to be an embarrassing.

"You haven't mated yet have you?" She asked, crossing her arms. I choked. "Mom, really? My god! No, not yet." 

"What does that mean? Is it as bad as you make it out to be?" Luke whispered from below me. I lifted myself up to look down at him, causing our groins to rub together. I groaned out loud, almost forgetting my mom was there.

I would have, too, if she haden't cleared her throat again.

I blinked, "Right, sorry. I looked down at him and brought my mouth next to his ear, "For werewolves, mating is like sealing the deal. It mixes our scents to show other werewolves that you're mine. Kind of like a contract saying you can never leave me."

He smiled, "Yeah but, like, what is it? I don't really know what that means in, you know, like human terms."

I pecked him on the lips and then looked him straight in those bright blue eyes of his. "It means that we have-"

I kissed his jaw, "Crazy-"

I kissed his neck, "Hot-"

I kissed just below his ear before bringing my lips to rest on his ear lobe, "Sex."

And I smiled in success when I heard his breathing hitch. Pulling back, I laughed when I saw how red his face was. "It's okay, not until you're ready."

He sighed in relief as I stood up. I grabbed the keys from my mom's hand, double checking that I had everything I needed, and walked down the driveway to my Jeep.

I pulled out of the driveway and made my way to the store.

Pulling into the driveway, I turned the car off and got out, grabbing all the groceries with both my hands. Once inside, I placed them all down on the counter and saw my mom walk into the kitchen. 

"Thank you. I'll put these away and then start dinner." I nodded and walked out of the kitchen, heading up the stairs. But, I stopped midway up when I smelled something that didn't belong in our house.

I sprinted up the rest of the stairs and slammed Luke's bedroom door open, only to see Nick sitting there on Luke's bed.

They both looked up, their eyes going wide. "What in the hell, are you doing here?! I thought I told you to leave and never come back!" I was basically yelling but I didn't really care. 

I gripped the front of his shirt in my hands and yanked him up so he was standing in front of me. I brought him close to my face and grit out, "You have health insurance right?" He nodded, eyes wide.

A slow smile spread across my face, "Good." I threw him down and then dragged him towards me by his ankles. "This might require you to use it." I clamped my hand around his thigh and squeezed until I heard a satisfying crack and his scream of pain.

I then proceeded to drag him down the stairs and throw him outside, "If you ever come back, I will end you." 

I stormed back inside and into Luke's room where he wasstill sitting in his bed. I took two big steps and brought him up in a hug and stuck my face into his neck, breathing deeply. 

"I'm so glad you're okay. I don't know what I would have done if something happened like last time-"

"Last time? What do you mean?" He asked stepping back. 

"Shit." I rubbed my hand down my face and sighed, looking up a Luke. I mean, I might as well tell him, right?

"Okay so remember when you said you couldn't remember what happened after you hit your head?"

He nodded.

"Okay well, Nick was the person who caused you're head injury. He- uh- pushed you." I said scratching the back of my neck.

He sat there and for some reason he didn't really seem surprised. "Why don't you look surprised?" He shrugged, "Because I'm not. It's not the first time he has every been violent. I mean I was kind of expecting something because I broke up with him. But, I hadn't expected him to try and kill me and before you freak out, it's okay."

"He what?!" Why did I let him go? I should have killed him on the spot. I can't believe I let him get away so easily.

I was pacing the room now and I could see Luke walking towards me. He placed his hands on my shoulders and forced me to look him in the eyes. "Hey, it's okay. I don't care what he does to me. I still have you, I'll always have you."

I pulled him closer to me, our bodies flush against each other. "But he-" He shook his head, "I Love You, not him. You."

I smiled bigger than I ever have before and kissed him as hard as I could. But, I pulled back. "Wait, wait, wait."

He looked up at me, "What?"

I smiled at him, rubbing my nose with his, "I love you, too."
