Born Into Darkness Ch. 11

Sophie

"Uhm... Roxana can I have my hand back?" Sophie calmly asked Roxana.

Instead of a response she was pushed to the side and her back collided with Dean's chest. She looked up and smiled, but quickly turned it into a frown. Both Kell and Dean still had their weapons out, ready to kill the poor injured man where he stood.

She understood where they were coming from, but the poor guy looked like he could barely lift a finger.

Facing the guys, she grabbed them by their hands and pulled them out into the main room. Sophie pointed to two bean bag chairs.

The guys looked at each other, smirked, then shook their heads.

"Sit down." Sophie said.

She earned another head shake from the both of them; she had enough of this. Tip toeing she pressed her nail in each of their ear lobes making them squirm.

Kell hissed in pain; while Dean bent down to lessen the pain.

What a bunch of babies. How is Kell scared of a little bit of rubbing alcohol? Yet when he got stabbed in the shoulder he didn't even flinch; instead he laughed. And when Dean was in Cujo mode, he didn't squirm when a bullet grazed his side and is now on his knees right now begging for her to let go.

They are so confusing sometimes.

Releasing them, they all but dove for the chairs, making Sophie laugh.

Sobering up, Sophie put on her serious face and stared down at them. "You guys need to chill out. That guy in there is Roxy's mate-"

"How do you know?" Dean asked cupping his injured ear.

They obviously didn't see how the guy looked up at Roxana; his eyes no longer were in pain but softened at the sight of her. It was so romantic.

And even though Roxana was about to rip her hand off when she shined the flashlight in her mate's eyes causing him to groan it was nice to see her protect her mate.

God knows how she did what she did when Roxana kissed Dean on the cheek, but she knew where Roxana was coming from.

You protect what's yours.

"You guys are so slow! Didn't you see the way Roxana was looking at him?" Sophie said placing her hands on her hips.

Kell scoffed, while Dean crossed his bulky arms over his chest making him look all the more sexy. She definitely couldn't wait to get him alone... Nope, nope, she can't think like this right now.

"Listen woman, we don't know who that is and it doesn't matter if he's Roxana's mate. He's a Shifter and a threat." Kell huffed.

Sophie's eyes narrowed into slits. "Usted no me acaba de llamar me mujer... [You did not just call me woman]"

Dean winced and gave Kell a sympathetic look.

Marching up to the six foot whatever brute, Sophie looked down at him and poked Kell on the center of his forehead. "Don't you dare call me woman, you man."

"Oh yeah... and what are you going to do about it Sophie dear?" Kell said covering his forehead with his hand, from getting poked.

"You... You..." Sophie muttered.

Kell chuckled. "You what? What are you going to do?"

Her blood boiled. It was time to take matters into her hands and hurt him where it counts. "No more cookies... and I'm not cooking anymore. It's too bad because I was going to treat you guys to something special. Humph."

Kell froze and threw himself on the floor and clasped his hands together. "I'm so, so, so, so, so, so, so sorry. I'm a stupid idiot. I was just being protective. Right, Dean?"

"What? You didn't keep your fucking mouth shut, you idiot. I'm on her side. I'm not about to starve for you." Dean said anxiously.

Hm. She has a smart mate. For that they were forgiven. But she was still pissed at the both of them.

"Fine." Sophie walked away and went to explore. Dean tagged along, while Kell flopped back on to the beanbag chair and breathed out a sigh of relief.

Dean

Damn, even when Sophie was mad, she looked sexy and hot as hell.

How can a woman be mad and sexy at the same time; he didn't have on fucking clue, but Sophie made it possible.

His beast growled in agreement.

He ran to the direction where she wandered off to and lost sight of her; but the best part of being a Shifter and her mate was that he could follow her scent; her amazing sweet pea scent.

Following her scent, it led to his gym. She was walking around; touching his weapons and poking random things, like the dummy he used as a punching bag. For some reason he liked that Sophie was walking around the place, trying to get familiar with everything, it made him all warm and fuzzy.

What the fuck was happening to him? He was turning into such a peach.

First he was calling her cute and adorable and now he was feeling shit like 'warm and fuzzy' emotions.

And for some reason he was ok with that, because it was Sophie. His Sophie. His mate.

But now that he sees her here, Dean felt kind of bad that he took her out of her normal world and exposed her to his. This world was too brutal and cruel for someone as sweet as Sophie.

She was tiny, vulnerable and human. But if she did accept him as his mate and he turns her, she'll be immortal like him, but he will forever have the guilt of pulling her out of her normal life in the back of his mind.

"Are you just going to stare at me like a creep?" Sophie's voice snapped him back to the present.

Smiling, he walked to her and wrapped his arms around her waist, then placed his face in her hair, loving how soft it was; how good it felt tickling his face.

"I wasn't staring baby, I was thinking." He mumbled.

Sophie turned in his arms. Better for him, he positioned his face so that it was now on the crook of her neck so he could inhale her sugary scent.

"Can I ask what you were thinking about?" Sophie asked. He felt her small hands run up and down his back giving him chills, it felt so good. No one he's ever been with did that to him; heck half the shit Sophie does no one ever did for him.

"I will as long as you keep doing that," He mumbled against her neck. Sophie's small hands slipped under his shirt and started running up and down his back again, giving him goose bumps. "I was thinking about how you're so tiny and I feel so possessive over you."

Sophie laughed. "That you are Dean, but I love it, even the growling," She used her nails to lightly graze his back and he growled in delight, causing Sophie to giggle. "I've been meaning to ask you a couple questions."

It was only fair that he were to be the one to answer his mate's questions. "Alright, shoot."

"Uhmm..." Right now if he were to pull away from Sophie to see the expression, she's probably biting her lip and the fates know how much that turns him on. "What kind of powers do you have?"

Scoffing at her first question, "Sweetness, I'm a god I can practically do anything. You name it." He said with his face still on Sophie's neck.

Sophie pulled away, making him pout and causing her to laugh at him.

He couldn't help but smile as his mate scrunched up her nose while she thought of a way to prove to her that he possessed the powers he had.

"Can you turn invisi-" before Sophie could finish her sentence he vanished before her eyes making her gasp. "Holy honey in a biscuit; that's so flipping cool... Ok you can appear again... Dean?"

He took the opportunity to pinch Sophie's plump ass making her squeak and jerk in surprise, everything she did always put a smile on his face.

Appearing again, he couldn't help but beam at Sophie as she rubbed her butt cheek while she pouted.

"Aw sorry baby, did I hurt you?" He walked towards her, only to have her push him away. Now he felt bad, but it was so worth it. "Is my Sophie mad at me?"

"Yes. I. Am." Sophie stomped her foot on the mat and crossed her arms over her own chest then continued to pout. Dean bent down and pecked Sophie softly on the mouth. She blushed and moved away from him.

Good thing she moved away, he would've taken the innocent kiss and turns it into something more, M- for mature and ending with his mate panting and moaning out his name.

Naked.

"Explain to me more in detail, about this mate thing. I feel it, I'm not going to lie, but it's hard to really go along with it if I don't know what's fully going on." Sophie said in a more serious tone.

Taking a deep breath, Dean crouched down and pressed his back against the matted wall. He patted the empty space next to him, indicating Sophie to join him, because it's going to be a long explanation.

Sophie sat down with him, but was too far for his liking. So he pulled her onto his lap and had her straddle him. His beasts growled in appreciation.

His mate scrunched her nose again. "This is kinda inappropriate..."

"No it's not... this is." Dean said.

Before Sophie could question him; he pulled her sweater over her head and nuzzled his face in between her soft breasts.

Sophie jerked, but did nothing to stop him; which made him smirk.

His mate was a little minx.

He nibbled his way up her neck and grazed his teeth where her neck and shoulder connected.

Sophie moved, arching her back, making him growl at his oh so sensitive mate. He found her sweet spot.

How did he know? Well his mate's scent all of a sudden got stronger and he bet all of King Midas' gold that her core was weeping with her sweet juices.

He couldn't resist, he needed to know. And if he was correct, may the gods and goddesses help them both; because they're coming out of this room mated and Sophie knocked up with his first kid.

He slipped his hands down Sophie's tights and cupped her pussy, causing his now aroused mate to moan out in delight.

He was indeed correct. Her sweet nectar coated her panties and now his fingers; making his dick hard as fuck.

Pushing aside her panties, he ran a finger up and down her wet slit causing Sophie to sway her hips forward and back.

It was the hottest thing he saw. His mate all hot and bothered; her curly hair was loose making her look exotic, lips all swollen and now her lower lip was caught in between her teeth; that simple action made his member pulsate with need.

Somehow with all this going on, his conscience told him that this was all wrong. He knew Sophie was a virgin and new to all of this. When it's time, it'll be in his bed and it wouldn't be sex, but making love.

His beast whimpered with need, but Dean ignored him.

Slowly, he removed his hand out of Sophie's tights and pulled her small curvaceous body away from his.

His sweet mate whimpered, making him want to take her right there and now, but he stopped himself.

His beast on the other hand had thought differently. His teeth elongated and his claws grew. And he bet his eyes must be glowing gold right now.

Sophie looked up and into his eyes, blushed, then looked down ashamed.

Catching her chin between his pointer finger and thumb, he lifted her face so she was looking back into his eyes.

"Don't be embarrassed, baby." He said pecking her softly on the lips.

"I know Dean but... I don't normally do that; I never felt like that before... all of this is new to me." Sophie said in a hushed tone.

"Believe me honey, I know. It's all new to me too." Dean said resting his forehead against hers.

"So... before things got all heated, you were explaining this mate thing." Sophie said.

"Ok... So, Shifters are a rare kind, we appear sporadically. For example, when I found out that I was Shifter, I was in human years eighteen. And my primary animal is a black wolf, but I'm triple the size of an ordinary wolf." Dean explained.

Sophie nodded her head and smiled. "Yes you are. I swear when I first saw you I thought you were a bear but then I saw the ears and the tail. I have to say. Your wolf is very pretty."

Dean growled at the word pretty, making Sophie giggle. He knew she said it just to get under his skin. He tackled her so she was on her back and he was on top.

"My wolf isn't 'pretty' my wolf is manly." He growled.

"Oh sorry babycakes, I meant manly, very, very manly. You can be the big bad wolf and I'm little red. What do you think?" Sophie said rubbing her nose against Dean's.

He wasn't going to lie, he liked the idea of Sophie in red... lingerie that is.

"Hey... uhm... Dean. Your little friend there is poking me." Sophie said as she smirked.

Dean growled again. "I'm not little... I'm far from it baby."

"Oh, I bet you are mi corazón [my heart], I believe you." Sophie said sitting up.

Dean wasn't about to let Sophie put space in between them. He sat up and pressed his back against the matted wall again and pulled her body over his so she was straddling him once more, only this time they were in control of their hormones.

"I like the nickname. Mi corazón." Dean said giving it a try.

Sophie pouted. "Even more then Babycakes?"

Dean shook his head. "No baby, nothing beats babycakes. I love that one the most."

His mate squinted her eyes adorably, making her look sassy. "Are you just saying that to make me feel better?"

He held a hand over his heart. "Scout's honor. Now back to the subject. When I first shifted, Kell was the one to help me through it; because he was the only one I knew who was like me. It was pretty easy after the third shift then the powers came in and boy was that fun. I remember I burnt Kell's eyebrows off when I learnt about fire abilities."

Sophie laughed. "Aw poor guy."

"Anyways, no one ever told me what a mate was. I literally learned it from Kell after I met you. A Shifter is given a mate because we are one of the most powerful creatures in the whole pantheon. We are the top of the food chain. Kell told me that when the first Shifter came into the picture, the titans were mostly in Chaos and were scared of being over ruled. So they came up with the idea of a weakness for a Shifter."

"A mate." She said.

Dean chuckled and rubbed his nose against hers. "Correct baby, and when a Shifter mates, they mate for life. Yes its pair becomes immortal, but they can be killed. And if one is killed, the other also dies." Dean said playing with Sophie's hair.

"What can kill a Shifter, beside the whole killing the other one? And are all these rogue people Shifters too?" Sophie asked as she allowed Dean to play with her hair, which mostly consisted of wrapping strands of hair around his finger and rubbing against his cheek.

"Well there are enchanted knives and daggers... but I'm pretty sure Kane got rid of them all." Dean said sticking his hand in Sophie's hair. He was so allured by how her curly raven hair curled around his fingers as if it had a mind of its own, and it smelled so good, like earth and sunshine.

"Who's Kane?" Sophie asked.

He loved how Sophie was so determined to learn more about his kind. It was lowering the level of guilt inside him. "He's the first Shifter."

"Oh... Dean..." Sophie sang as she cupped his face, making him look into her soft brown eyes.

Honest to god he will never get tired of looking at her pretty round face. He wondered if their kids will come out looking more like her or him... or even them both.

Damn, he never thought about kids before. Ever since he met Sophie, all he wanted was to mate with her and knock her up as soon as possible, so she can be all round and plump with his kid. He wanted a whole house full of rascals running around, mini Deans and mini Sophies.

"Yeah love bug?" His response made Sophie smile. It wasn't a small shy smile she usually gives him but a full blown smile, illuminating her face and making her brown eyes shine. "I'm guessing you like love bug?"

"I freaking love it. It's so cute and... oh, let me shut up before I embarrass myself. What I was going to say was if... I can see your wolf? Pretty, please?" Sophie begged bringing his face down into her soft, plump breasts. It was difficult to breathe yes, but he would rather pass out from the lack of oxygen than move his face. His beast growled in agreement, even though his primary beast had no voice it still managed to communicate to him with growls. Over the centuries his beast and Dean learned to be in sync, it would growl in agreement, disapproval or when danger was near.

Dean nodded and moved Sophie so she was sitting crisscross applesauce and looking up at him. And of course, his mind decided to shove its head in the gutter and conjured up the image of Sophie on her knees taking his now pulsating, rock hard member out of his pants, to cup him and lick and suck him till the brink of insanity, all while looking into his eyes.

"Dean, are you ok?" Sophie said as she started getting up. He saw her get on her hands and knees, right then all the blood went straight to his dick.

"Baby..." Dean said palming himself down. It didn't help one fucking bit. "I'm in a bit of a pickle right now," He said.

Sophie's eyebrows scrunched together in confusion; that was until her eyes trailed down to his hand that was pressing down on his dick. "Oh...I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to, baby really. But, how? What? What did I do?"

"You have to understand, everything you do gets me hard. And my beast agrees and is less civil than I am and is urging me to take you right here right now like the animal I am, but I'm not no matter... how sexy you look on all four with your ass in the air and... the two second window you gave and I got a peek of your mouthwatering caramel nipple..." By the end of the sentence Dean was stalking Sophie and he knew for a fact that his eyes were gold.

He inhaled deeply and grinned. He made his little innocent mate horny... very, very horny indeed. Her sweet pea scent all of a sudden got stronger and smelt delicious.

"Dean, you were going to show me your wolf." His Sophie said breathlessly.

Growling, he crouched down and made eye to eye contact with Sophie. "I will, but after this we're going to my room... we have some matters I want to discuss with you... my oh so sweet, innocent mate."

With that he started stripping; pulling his shirt over his head then his shoes, socks and pants. He hooked his thumbs on the bands of his boxers then looked over his to see his mate unconsciously bite her lower lip. He chuckled and pulled them down; bam, in his full blown birthday suit.

Sophie

Was he bold or was he bold? She couldn't help but look right at his small... scratch that, big twitching friend.

How in the world will that thing fit into her small thing? Damn, why couldn't she be experienced already like most 26 year old women?

But then again, the only boyfriend she had was Danny, and he definitely didn't deserve her cookie. Wow, she just called her virginity a cookie, how childish was that?

The big question was, if she was ready to give Dean her cookie? She just met the guy and she felt like she knew him her whole life and then some. Was she ready to get into bed and 'make love' as he said, with him? Was she ready to be naked in front of him?

Dean has already seen her half naked and did do some pretty steamy stuff with his finger...and mouth.

Fuck it. YOLO, she's game.

Damn, she can't wait to call Mandy.

FUCK! Mandy, oh damn she's going to die tonight a virgin, she forgot to call her and Maria that she was ok. But she was busy with finding Dean and stuff... how was she going to explain herself to Mandy, let alone Maria?

YOLO? Ugh, she sounds like one of her co-workers at her hospital. She was such a goofball. Shit, her job. Shit, she missed graduation, whatever she wasn't going to go anyways, she'll just go pick up her diploma; fuck yeah bitches, she's officially a nurse. But her job, damn she hopes she still had one as of right now, if she didn't... well then she's fucked.

Oh no, she's good, she has a two weeks off to recover from the whole Danny situation. Thank the Lord! That's one problem solved.

Something cold and wet touched her neck, causing her to snap out of her thoughts. She saw Dean's wolf form; he took up most of the freaking gym. He was huge!
