Sweet Temptation by N. J. (read more books .TXT) 📕

I was about to tell her it was none of her business when Logan stepped up and offered his hand:

“I’m Logan, Mandy’s guide for the day”. Vicky’s eyes nearly popped out, she widened them so much. Typical girl, I muttered under my breath.

“Excuse me?” I heard her. Oops! That was not meant for her ear. I glanced at Logan to see him hide his laughter behind a cough.

“Nothing” I said cheekily and went to a seat at the far end of the class.

I really needed to shut my big mouth. What would Logan think of me now? I didn’t even want to know the answer, so I just pretended to disappear in my seat after Ms. Lebrun was done presenting me and my sister to the class. As predicted, she ate up all the attention which was really embarrassing. Why did I have to be in her class too? As I looked up, I saw Logan smiling in my direction. Did I mention he had white perfect teeth? He could be a model or something.

Logan’s P.O.V:

After the class ended, I went to her table to walk her to our next period.

“Amanda?” I called for the third time. She looked far away. Was it because of a guy? She’s ours, my wolf said angrily. Her thoughts better be about me not another man. I only met her some time ago but I was already behaving like a jealous boyfriend. I called her again because I didn’t like the direction of my thoughts. She turned slowly.

““I was just saying that we should go to our next class.” I said. She glanced around embarrassed as if I caught her doing something embarrassing. So maybe, just maybe she did think about me after all.

“Really?” She answered in a voice slightly breathless. Damn, she needed to stop doing that. It would help neither of us if I lose control in front of her. I gathered her wolf was dormant yet so I didn’t want to frighten her. Besides, I wanted to woo her. Yeah, I wanted to do that, I realized with surprise. I never had trouble getting any girl I wanted before, but for some reason unknown to me, I wanted to be different for her. She was not like everyone after her since she was my one and only woman. Only, she didn’t know it yet.

As we walked, I couldn’t resist but put a hand on the small of her back. She fitted perfectly in my arm, I thought.

That’s because she belonged there, was my wolf’s answer.

He was right though.

“Mandy?” a voice called behind us.

I sensed Amanda’s posture change immediately. I didn’t know who the person who called her was, but I disliked her on the spot. No one hurt my mate.

Turning slowly, my mate answered: “Yes, Vicky?” She had on her face a fake smile. I didn’t like it at all.

I was about to ask the girl to back off but she beat me.

“Why don’t you present us?” She said in a voice she must have hoped would get me at her feet. No way in hell, lady. She reeked of desperation and hatred.

Amanda was about to answer but I didn’t give her the chance. Clearly, this girl would eat her alive.

“I’m Logan, Mandy’s guide for the day”. Her eyes went so wide I thought they would pop out.

Typical girl, I heard my mate say. Oh, so my girl had a bit of back bone in her, I thought with satisfaction. I was trying to hide my amusement when Mean Girl turned to her.

“Excuse me?” This time, she was not flirty anymore.

My mate’s answer was angry. She left me there with Mean Girl or Vicky, whatever her name was, and went to sit in the back. I could sense her sadness. I followed her and sat next to her, but her eyes were downcast. Did she really think that I would be interested in a girl as superficial as Vicky when I had her? I needed to make her see how beautiful she was. Somehow, I knew someone did some damage to her self-confidence. Whoever that was, I would kill him or her if he or she went near my mate ever again, I vowed silently.

Mandy’s P.O.V

Not wanting further embarrassment for the day, I hurried to my next period without waiting for Logan. I wanted to ask him some questions but thanks to Vicky’s intervention, I couldn’t ask them now. I was still lost in my thoughts that I hadn’t heard Logan approaching. Turning, I watched him open the door to A.P. French for me. The guy was fast and quiet, I thought.

“Why didn’t you wait for me, Amanda?” Logan asked after we went to sit together in the back. I could have found a seat far from him, but his sent was so intoxicating. A heady smell of spice and wood, I thought after taking a good sniff. What the hell? Did I just sniff him like a dog? I didn’t get a chance to ponder more on the subject because Logan was suddenly touching my hand.

“Amanda, don’t you want to speak to me?” He asked again looking hurt by my silence.

“No, it’s not that, Logan.” Before I could continue, Logan cut my off.

“Say it again.” He looked very possessive at the moment.

“Say what?” I asked coyly even though I knew what he wanted.

“Say my name, Amanda.” He growled.

“Logan.” I said slowly. His eyes seemed to change color, from cool blue to bluish black. Oh, my! The temperature seemed to increase suddenly. A sizzle of electricity passed between us. Or at least I felt it in my entire being.

“Did you feel that?” He asked still not breaking eye contact. Unable to say anything, I just nodded.

Before Logan could add anything, the students began to fill in the class and after my routine presentation; Mr. Coleman proceeded with his lessons.

During the whole class, I was stealing a look at Logan’s direction and I was happy to see him doing the same and each time giving me one of his sexy smiles.

When the bell rang, I waited patiently for him to walk me to my next class. Before I went to change in the girls’ locker, Logan pulled me aside.

“Can I have your number?” He whispered.

Happy to oblige, I gave him my number and he gave me his.

With a goofy smile, I entered the girls’ locker.

“Hello, you must be the new girl. I’m Sunny and this is my friend Kat”, a dark haired beauty with cool blue eyes said. Her friend was a cute little thing, a petite brunette with hazel eyes and dimples.

“Hello, I’m Amanda, but you can call me Mandy.” The girls were nice.

“Cool! Just stick with us. Some of the girls in school are going to be mean to you because you have Logan following you everywhere.”

I laughed at that. “We just met today, guys. But don’t worry; I’m not going to let them walk over me.”

At that, we high fived and exited the locker.

After introducing me to the class, Mr. Herman made us into five group of six each. We were playing volley ball.

A girl with a nasty expression on her face approached me next to the net.

“You better watch your back, girl. We don’t treat anyone like a princess here.” I didn’t deign to answer her which made her all the angrier.

Fifteen minutes later, my team beat the girl’s. The bell rang to signal the end of the period.

Surprised, I saw Logan waiting by the girls’ locker.

“Logan!” I called with a big smile on my face.

“Mandy!” He went to my side and bent down to kiss my cheek. Blushing, I hide my face in his chest.

Logan laughed at my expression. Am I turning into a blusher now? I thought annoyed.

“Mandy, what are you doing there?” He asked after some time but she put his arms around me at the same time as if he wanted to keep me there.

“Hiding?” I replied looking up.

“Don’t ever hide from me sweetheart.” Logan murmured in my ear. That made me blush more furiously as I felt a tremor ran through my body. He must have felt it too because he held me closer.

“Logan, we just met this morning!” I said, pressing my hands on my face but this time I looked up to see him smile down to me. His eyes were bluish black again.

“So?” He shrugged while he took my bag, put an arm around my shoulder and walked to the next period.

Logan’s P.O.V

I waited for her by the girls’ locker room. She was wearing a white t-shirt that did little for the imagination. I wanted to cover her but at the same time I wanted to keep looking at her breasts. She still had her skinny black jeans. I noticed she kept her high heeled shoes on. Her face was flushed from the gym. She looked really hot right now but I had to force myself to calm down. This was not the place to have indecent thoughts.

“Logan!” She said my name again with a big smile on her face. I was delighted that she kept saying it for me. She looked breathtaking smiling.

“Mandy!” I said with a smile of my own. I bent to kiss her on the cheek because I couldn’t stop myself. Blushing, she hid in my chest. She looked adorable when she blushed.

“Mandy, what are you doing there?” I asked after some time. I wrapped my arms around her to keep her there. I had her where I wanted her.

“Hiding?” Came her small response. I tightened my hold on her. I saw the students looking at us curiously, especially the girls. I didn’t care as long as I had Mandy in my arms. Instead, I focused on her.

“Don’t ever hide from me sweetheart.” I murmured in my ear. At that, I felt her shiver. So she was not immune to me. I pulled her closer against my chest.

“Logan, we just met this morning!” She answered while she pressed her hands on burning her face; however, this time she looked up. My body was answering. Not good!

“So?” I shrugged while I took her bag, slung an arm around her shoulder and walked to the next period.

Thankfully she didn’t argue anymore instead she put an arm around my waist and snuggled a bit closer. Lord! I could get used to this. It was taking all my self-control to keep my body in check as I concentrated not to embarrass myself. Everyone was looking at us in the hallway. Mandy didn’t seem to be bother, thank God. I wanted people to know that she was mine and anyone who messed up with her will answer to me from now on.

I dropped her in Physics while I went back to the gym. This was the only period we didn’t have together. I already felt her loss even though we were just going to be apart for forty-five minutes. After I emerged from the locker room, I met my friends and brother.

“Yo, who was that hot chick you were just with?” Dan asked. Meet my little brother. He was just a year younger than me but he was one of the players in school.

“That was my mate” I asked nonchalantly. Silence greeted
