Mr. Almost Right by Sara S. (free e books to read online txt) 📕

“Your house is beautiful.” I said in awe. His house was far away from the town. It was in the rural no-man’s land that was all natural with trees and meadows everywhere. Snow covered the ground of the meadows making them look mysterious. His house was in the middle of the biggest meadow. It was huge, 3 stories at least. One of the rooms had a terrace with what seemed a spectacular view. Inside was even better. Someone in this house had an eye for interior design. There were Mozart and Monte’s drawings all along the walls and ravishing chandeliers hanging from the ceilings. “Violet, my creator, and adoptive mother, has a keen eye for small details, and that is something she was born with not just because she’s a werewolf. I wonder where she is.” He said. Just then the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen walked into the room. She looked around 30 years old and had shiny, curly, beautiful burgundy hair and the brightest green eyes that makes you wonder is she wears colored contacts. Her complexion was the same light olive skin tone that Jake had. “I heard my name,” she said in a smooth rhythmic voice. “Ah Violet, there you are. I would like to introduce you to Audrey, my mate,” Jake said giving her a look that I couldn’t decipher. “Pleasure to meet you,” I said in a small voice extending my hand. “Pleasure’s all mine,” she replied, ignoring my hand and going straight for a hug. “I’ve heard sooo much about you.” She continued. “Wish I could say the same. I’ve heard nothing about you.” I said, giving Jake an evil looking eye while Violet chuckled. “Come, meet the rest of the family.” She said. She led me into the living room while I had Jake in tow.
There were four people waiting in the living room. Two men and one woman. They were all just as beautiful as Jake and Violet. One man and the woman were sitting close together on the couch the girl almost sitting on his lap, making me think they were together. The other man was standing by the couch and went up to Violet when he saw her. When we walked in everyone turned and looked. The girl had straight full blonde hair that was as golden as the sun. She had beautiful hazel eyes. The man next to her had short curly dark brown hair and dark brown eyes to match. The man next to Violet had short jet-black hair with piercing grey eyes. Both men had serious muscles like Jake’s maybe even more. All of them had the same light olive skin tone as Jake and Violet.
“Audrey, meet Marci,” Violet said gesturing to the girl, “William,” she said gesturing to the man next to Marci, “and Isaac.” She said gesturing towards the man beside her. “Guys, meet Audrey, Jake’s mate.” She finished. William was the first one to speak to me. “Call me Will.” He said with a flirty smile. Marci smacked him and smile at me, not saying anything. “Well it’s great to finally meet you. Jake has been going on and on about you non-stop,” Isaac said. I laughed while Jake blushed. “It’s great to meet you all too.” I said continuing to laugh. “Would you like to hear some embarrassing things about Jake?” Violet asked me with the devil’s smile. I laughed again and was about to answer yes when Jake interrupted me, “No, she wouldn’t. Come on I want to show you around the house.” He said trying to hide his embarrassment, failing miserably. I laughed harder as he pulled me out of the living room and up the stairs.
He brought me to a hallway on the third story of the house. “So just so you know Isaac and Violet are mates, and Marci and Will are mates.” Jake said. “You’re the only one without a mate?” I asked. “Not anymore.” He said giving me a hug from behind as we walked down the hall. “Isaac’s and Violet’s room,” he said pointing to the first door in the hall. “Marci’s and Will’s room,” he said pointing to the second door of the hall. There was one last door here. “And my room.” He said opening the door and bringing me inside. His room was the one with the terrace. And I was right, it had a spectacular view. “It’s an amazing view isn’t it,” Jake interrupts my thoughts. “Yes.” I said, star struck as I look outside. Jake comes closer, “It’s almost as beautiful as you.” He said. I turned around to see if he’s lying but only truth lied in his eyes. He comes even closer, “You’re the most beautiful thing in the world. Don’t ever forget that.” He said leaning down to whisper in my ear, “Mi amor, eres hermosa.” My breathing was coming quicker than usual. I know what he said from Spanish class. It translated to, “My love, you’re beautiful,” he brought his head back up so he was facing me. I looked down, blushing from what he had said. He lifted my chin up and brought his lips to mine. This kiss was even better than the first. Desire for more shot through me and I molded my body to his. I brought my hands to his neck and laced my fingers through his hair. He pulled away to allow us to breathe. When we finally caught our breaths Jake turned to me. “Come on, I want to show you something.” He said grabbing my hand and leading me out of his room.
He brought me down the stairs and out of the front door. “So what is it you want to show me?” I asked. “Close your eyes and I’ll show you.” He said smiling. I did as he told me. He pulled me into his arms, bridal style, and I felt a rush of air go past my face. For some reason I felt like I was high up on something. “When can I open my eyes?” I asked. “Now,” he whispered into my ear. I opened my eyes and was shocked at the view in front of me. I was in a tree with Jake standing beside me. I could see all the other meadows and we were high enough to see over his house. The meadows were all white with snow with dark trim where some trees start. This view would be absolutely breathtaking, especially in the spring, but I couldn’t keep my eyes off Jake. “You know how you said I could ask questions about werewolves?” I asked. He nodded. “Offer still open?” I asked. He nodded again smiling. “Well I was wondering what the werewolves’ special qualities are?” I said. “We can see, hear, and smell better than humans. We also have quicker reflexes than humans. We are stronger and faster than humans. Also more beautiful. Our eyes change color depending on our emotions. We can listen to our mate’s thoughts, I’ll teach you it later. Some of us have special abilities that no other werewolves have.” He stated. “Do you have a special ability?” I asked. “Yes. I have the ability to heal people. If someone is sick or wounded I can heal them. But only to a certain point. If they are on death’s door step the only thing that can save them is being turned. Violet has the ability to control someone’s body. She can manipulate the person’s movement. She only uses it when she has to though. Isaac can turn completely invisible at a moment’s notice. Marci has this pull towards her, makes you want to love her and stay by her side. She has learned to control it most of the time but may slip. Will can control animals; make them do what he wants. Over all we are a pretty powerful family. Oh and werewolves are immortals, only other werewolves can kill us.” He said. “Oh.” I said a little shocked. “Anything else?” he asked. “Can you guys hold your breath?” I asked. “Only for about a day. No longer than that though.” He said. I nodded, ending the conversation.
Jake helped me down the tree and onto safe ground. He looked at his watch. It read noon. “You must be hungry. I’ll have Violet cook whatever you want.” He said. Now that I thought about it I was. “How about a ham sandwich? Oh and I have another question. Do werewolves eat?” I asked. He nodded, “Yes we do but not human food. We eat raw meat. And a ham sandwich will be fine.” We went inside and I had a sandwich while Jake sat beside me talking to me and his family sat in the living room watching TV, pretending not to eavesdrop. “We know your listening.” Jake said while I giggled. The attention on us shifted to the TV for a while but came back to us again. Jake shook his head while I laughed. I learned some cool stuff about my mate. Like his favorite color what he hates and so on. He learned stuff about me too. “So how come Marci and Will don’t go to school here?” I remember asking. “They will eventually. I was sent as a sort of spy to see if there were any other werewolves that would be a threat. But there isn’t so they’ll be enrolling soon.” He replied. “Oh. Jake, how old are you?” I asked. “Well I look 18 which I was when I was turned. But I was born in 1816 so I’m 196 years old.” He said. “Oh.” I said surprised. I was done with my sandwich by then. He grabbed my hand again and led me to his room.
When we got there he grabbed me into a hug and I wrapped my arms around his neck. He pulled away a bit and leaned down to kiss me. The kiss was amazing. Beyond amazing. My blazing desire left me wanting more. Jake sensed it too and pulled away leaving me pouting. Jake chuckled and leaned down to my ear. “El amor, ¿por qué tan triste?” He whispered in Spanish again. It translated to, “Love, why so sad?” I giggled a bit and went on my tip-toes trying to kiss him. I could only reach his chin so the rest was up to him. He gave in and leaned down to kiss me again but pulled away too soon. I looked at him questionably. “I want to, it’s just I’ll never be able to control myself around you till we…bond…” he said. “Bond?” I asked. “Bonding is…well..having uh…..sex…” he said through clenched teeth. “Oh.” I said in a very, very small voice. “Yeah…” he said. That pretty much ended that conversation.
