Little Dove

Chapter 9

Emilys POV

The nerve of that guy! It's like he thinks he can just walk in my life and tell me what to do. He makes me so angry... but then he also takes away all the anger and pain, with just one touch. I just don't get it. Mate What the hell was that... "Hello? Is someone there, Can I help you?" I'm looking around to see who said that.. It was really loud, sounded like someone close by.

I see Mr. Landing walk around the corner. "Is everything alright dear? You sound worried. And isn't it time for you to clock out?" "Oh, yes Mr. Landing and no I am okay, just thought I heard someone. Thank you so much for the shift! I'll see you tomorrow" I give him a quick hug and head to the door.

I run over to Phoenix's car and hop in, my heart is racing and I feel almost sick. It's almost like he can sense my fear when he reaches out and puts his hand on my thigh. My breath hitches, and soon I feel calm. "What is wrong Little Dove, you look terrified" he says in a low tone. "Yes.. I just thought I heard someone.. I don't know, it's silly.. I'm hearing things"

I think I peaked his attention.. "Heard someone hmm?" "No forget it... it sounds ridiculous, maybe it's just my lack of sleep lately." "hmm, I beg to differ, you slept pretty good lasts night Little Dove". I blush at the thought that last night was the best sleep I have had in months, cuddled up in his arms.

We start our drive to my home, and I cant help but close my eyes and breath in his scent that is crowding up the car and driving me wild. I take a deep breath "So.. where are we going tonight?" I ask curiously looking at him while he drives with his left hand on the wheel and right arm draped on the center console. He looks incredible. "It is a surprise my dear Emily" My heart pounds in my chest with the sound of my name, I swear he can hear it when he glances over and his eyes flicker to a shade of steel blue and back.

We pull up to my home and he walks with me up to the door as we enter the house. He makes himself comfortable on the couch with the tv remote in hand. "Take your time Little Dove". "How should I dress Phoenix? I don't even know where we are going" He turns and looks at me before I walk upstairs and smiles "Dinner, we will go out to eat and then a surprise afterwards" I smile and run up the stairs to take a quick shower and get dressed.

Phoenix POV

I nearly lost all of my cool in the library, I didn't intend on ruining tonight. I'm glad she was able to forgive me. When she got in the car and told me about hearing someone.. All I could think about was her wolf... She only stopped taking wolfsbane this morning, so there is no way her wolf can recover from the abuse all of those years so quickly, It's unheard of. I need to know why her parents did this to her, why they hid her real life, her real potential, the world she should be living in, away from her.

I wait on the couch flipping through channels while she heads up stairs to clean up for tonight, but start to feel impatient about 15 minutes in. I walk upstairs and smell her scent seeping out from underneath her bedroom door that is slightly pulled open.

Listening in with my heightened Lycan hearing, I don't hear anything in the bedroom so I push the door slightly open and walk in. She walks out of the bathroom in her red lace panties and bra with her damp long hair down. I fight my wolf to not take control.

Emilys POV

I take my shower and take my time like Phoenix said, towel dry my hair, apply some light make up and put my bra and panties on. I walk out of the bathroom to head to the bedroom where I left my clothes on the bed and stop when I see Phoenix with steel blue dark eyes, filled with lust. It feels like my lungs have been syphoned once again and my heart rate picks up.

"Phoenix..I... I... I'm trying to get dressed" I grab the closest thing I can to try and cover up as much of myself, but it barely covers my stomach. Dammit, a hand towel...that is what was the closest thing I could find. How humiliating.

He stalks closer, and closes the distance between us, while putting his hand around the back of my neck and moving my face to look up at him. "Phoenix I.." His eyes so dark, I cant even make out a color, when he moves his face closer to mine and presses his lips passionately against mine. My body is on fire. Ahh An involuntary moan escapes my lips and it fuels his desire more as he deepens the kiss. His tongue entering my mouth exploring everything it possible can, while his left hand moves down my neck, around my breast and lands on my waist to pull me in somehow even more.

I pull back to breath.. "I'm... I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me. You just looked so.. Please forgive me." He says, lust still laced in each word as he breaths heavily. "No... it's okay... I wanted it too..." I look up still panting, and smile at him. I think he heard what he wanted, since he smiled back and left me to finish up.

15 minutes later I am dressed and ready to go. I take one more look in the mirror to seek approval from myself. I chose a dark red off the shoulder long sleeve dress, that came down to my knees, paired with black strappy heels. I know it will be chilly tonight so I will bring my long black pea coat with me.

As I descend the stairs, it's almost like he could sense me coming and was standing at the end of the stairs waiting for me with his hand.

"You look absolutely stunning Emily", he say's as he holds my hand on the last stair, I blush. "Thank you Phoenix, you look very handsome yourself and smell incredible" Too forward Emi..Mmm he does. I stumble back and look around me in a panic. "What was that? Did you say something?" I'm scared.
