Forever Is A Long Time

Chapter 4

I woke up to find my room dark and looked over to see an alarm clock on the nightstand next to the bed reading 8:30PM. I must have been more tired than I thought. All the commotion from earlier really did drain me. On cue, there was a knock at my door. His scent was so strong that I knew it was him. As if in a trance I got up, turned on the light switch and went to my door. That scent would be the death of me. I cracked the door enough for my face to be in view.

“Brandon, can I help you?” I asked with a light sarcastic tone as I tried to hide the fact that his scent was making me want to jump him then and there.

He was looking at me with what seemed to be amusement.

“Again, what is so amusing?” I asked at this point, sort of annoyed.

“I just like the way you say my name, that’s all.” He said nonchalantly.

“So you knocked on my door, woke me up, just to tell me you like how I say your name?” I asked with a smirk.

“Not exactly,” he said, shoving his hands in his pockets. “More like hoping to just talk to you. Like really talk to you...is that so bad?” He asked, almost with a pleading look.

I caught myself staring into his eyes again as he drew me in. His scent overpowering my thinking process.

You said you would give him a chance. Alexa taunted, in my head. I mentally rolled my eyes at her.

Giving in, I opened the door wide and signaled him to come in. I closed the door behind me as he walked in looking around the room curiously.

“So what exactly did you want to talk about,” I asked, turning to face him, folding my arms across my chest. Brandon turned to face me, his expression neutral. I could tell he was trying to play it cool.

“I just want to get to know you,” he said, sheepishly smiling down at me.

I could feel my cheeks slightly warming up. Who knew a smile could have such an effect on me.

I turned away from him as fast as I could, to avoid him catching my reaction.

“What do you want to know?” I asked, keeping my voice calm. Silence followed for what seemed forever. Curiously, I turned around to see what could possibly be causing him to not answer me. Only to find him standing inches from me, amusement in his eyes.

“Personal space much?” I said with a smirk, raising an eyebrow at him. I was trying so hard to not make it obvious that he took me by surprise.

He chuckled.

Damn it! Why does his voice have to sound like that?

Because he is delicious. Duh. Alexa chimed in.

Shut up.

He reached out and tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear before I could react.

“I want to know everything about you,” he said in a low voice, his face getting closer to mine. “What your favorite food is...what your favorite season is...how you were as a kid...if you like your coffee black or with cream…” his voice becoming more of a whisper.

My eyes, not being able to leave his, as his lips brushed across mine. Before I knew it, my lips had made contact with his. They moved in the most synchronized motion. I had never kissed someone like this before. Not even Nathan. Suddenly, it was as if my body had a mind of its own and my hands had somehow found their way to his neck, then his hair. He pressed himself against me as his arms wrapped around my waist. A light groan escaped his lips as he felt our bodies press against each other. His tongue made its way into my mouth just enough to tease me. I responded by playfully biting his lower lip. He smirked against my lips, his hands sliding down to my sides only to pick me up in one swift move, making me wrap my legs around his torso.

As if a fever had set in, my body became hot. I opened my eyes briefly, breaking my lips away from his for a second. I hadn’t realized I had stopped breathing. His eyes looked full of lust, almost black, as I’m sure mine were as well. His lips came crashing back on mine as he walked us over to the bed. He laid me down on my back then proceeded to kiss my neck softly,until reaching the spot on my neck where he is supposed to mark me. I shuddered as his lips grazed the area. Before he could do anything else, I wrapped my leg around him swiftly, flipping us over, leaving me on top. Teasingly I traced my finger down his chest to his torso as I kept looking him in the eye. Once reaching the hem of his shirt, I playfully tugged at it only to then reach over with my other hand, tearing it in half, exposing his defined abdomen. He looked up at me, his eyes showing an array of emotions all at once. Almost as if he was surprised yet thankful, all at the same time. The lust was obvious but the other two I wasn’t expecting.

Before I could continue admiring his body, he reached up, grabbed my face, pulling it to his. I bit his lip again, this time puncturing it lightly. A single drop of his blood made contact with my tongue, immediately letting a groan escape my lips. He smirked as he began to slowly grind against me. I could feel myself getting wetter by the second.

What is happening to me?

You found your mate, duh. Alexa commented.

She was starting to get on my nerves.

His hand lingered down my body only to find what he was looking for. He swiftly undid my pants and started to pull them down. For a second he seemed to have trouble removing them only to then rip them enough for me to slide out of them with ease. Normally that would have pissed me off but for some reason, I didn’t care. My body just wanted him and I knew he wanted me. I could tell by how hard he became as he kept trying to tease me. A knock suddenly snapped us both out of our trance.

“You gotta be kidding me…,” Brandon groaned under his breath, as a second knock came through.

I got up quickly and walked over to the door. Seeing as I had not even unpacked and was in my underwear, I decided to not open the door.

“Who is it?” I asked, with a hint of annoyance in my voice.

“It’s Nathan.”

Damn it.
