Chapter 13

I walked up the porch steps and held my breath. I was incredibly nervous and felt ridiculous about it. Liam was my mate. This was our house. I had no reason not to waltz right in and be comfortable in my own home. Our home.

I placed my hand on the door knob, taking a deep breath first. Once I was more in control, I turned the handle, but the door didn’t budge. What the fuckery? Our door was never locked.

I tried again, but still nothing. I pounded on the door and heard something drop, followed by multiple cuss words.

“Liam,” I yelled. “What the hell is going on? Open this door before I bust it in!”

His loud footsteps pounded through the house. “You weren’t supposed to be home yet.”

“You’re not supposed to be hiding things from me, so I guess we’re even,” I snapped.

I had foreseen the afternoon going better than this. My walls immediately went up. He was hiding something, which made my blood boil. Now, my poor door was going to pay the price for Liam’s mistakes.

He cracked open the door but stood firmly in place in front of it, so I couldn’t push my way in. I cocked my head at him, glaring.

“Can you give me five more minutes?” he begged.

I shook my head, crossing my arms like a stubborn child. I didn’t like surprises, even ones that made him smile bigger than I’d ever seen before.

His grin broke me, and I threw my hands in the air. “Fine, but only three minutes and then I’m kicking the door in.”

He didn’t even blink before he slammed the door shut in my face. I tried peeking through the windows on the porch to see in, but everything was locked down. It was really annoying.

I counted down the minutes, and when I got down to the ten second mark, I began yelling the numbers, so he had plenty of time to save himself from replacing the front door. I got down to ‘two’ as he pulled the entry open, huffing from his run across the house.

“You’re scary when you don’t get your way.” He bent over at the waist, catching his breath.

“Yeah, well, when your mate goes to bed pissed off at you, then isn’t home when you wake, and when he finally does make it home, he locks you out… I’m sure you can see where my patience ran out. You know, somewhere between what the hell is going on with you and why the shit was the door locked?”

He laughed, shaking his head and further fueling my irritation. I’m not sure which part he thought was funny, because I saw nothing funny about the last twenty-four hours.

He reached a hand out to me. “If you had been home on time yesterday, then you would have known what I had planned, and I wouldn’t have had to go back to the store today or lock you out. Now, you’ve gone and ruined my surprise twice. I should be the one upset with you, but you’re adorable like this and I can’t help but love you even more.
