Page 75 of His Wild Mate

His head dipped and he captured one of my nipples in his mouth, swirling his tongue and teasing it to a stiff point.

I moaned and then smacked him.

“Your entire family is down the hall and there's no way they can't hear us. Behave.”

A knock on the door had him jerking straight up like he was a little kid who'd just been caught doing something he shouldn't.

“Get out of here and let me finish trying these clothes on.”

He reluctantly agreed and left as Esme walked back in. She didn't make it through the door before he booped her on the nose and took off running.

“Do you want to die an early death, Emmett?” she yelled after him.

His responding laugh echoed down the hallway.

“I swear he's still a child.”

I knew for a fact that was a lie.

Heading back into the bathroom, I put the outfit on without the bra. It was tighter than I was used to but nowhere near asuncomfortable as I expected. The tight jeans were soft and hugged what little curves I had like a second skin. The shirt she'd picked was just loose enough that I wasn't concerned about my nipples showing—something I'd never even considered before Esme brought it up.

I stepped out into the room and her jaw dropped. “Spin.”

“What?”

“Turn around slowly,” she explained.

I did as she asked and returned to find her grinning back at me.

“My brother is going to shit himself when he sees you.”

“Ew. Why would that be a good thing?”

She burst out laughing. “Trust me, it's a great thing. Come on.”

Grabbing my hand, she ran down the hall, dragging me behind her.

Eileen clapped when she saw me. “Much better, my dear. That's a perfect fit for you.”

Emmett turned to see me and his jaw dropped. “Wow. You look gorgeous, sweetheart.”

I blushed, uncertain how to react to his compliment.

“Now I have to take you out. Do you guys want to join us for dinner at Kate's?”

“We'd love to,” his mother answered for all of them.

“Come on, I'll do your hair and makeup,” Esme offered. I didn't know what all that entailed, but I also didn't know how to tell her no. She was so bossy that I didn't think I'd get out of it anyway.

Chapter 19

James and I had tracked the scent all the way back to the ranch, but then lost it much like the last time. I hated to admit it, but I was starting to suspect that whoever was stalking my mate worked at Collier Farms. The thought was almost inconceivable, but it was the only thing that made sense with how the guy's scent just faded in with the rest of the smells there.

Once again, we'd come back empty handed. It frustrated me to no end but not quite in the same way that seeing my gorgeous mate standing there mostly naked on my return frustrated me. Or the frustration of not being able to really touch her. No, this was an angry frustration.

I had no idea that seeing Paige in regular clothes would affect me so much, but damn, I couldn't stop staring at her. Brat-face knew it too and kept catching me. Of course she had to point it out every single time.
