Loveless

Chapter 10

As I open the door and walk in, Evan flips on the lights. “I'm gonna head to the closet and change. If you need to go get your clothes and stuff you can.” He kisses my forehead again, sending chills through my body. “I'm ok love. Don’t worry about me, just go get changed.” I walk into the closet and shut the door, then start rummaging through my bag for appropriate pajamas, landing on a big shirt and booty shorts. It’s not what I would have packed if I knew I was going to be sleeping next to an extremely attractive man, especially since he might have a hard time controlling himself. I change quickly and open the door to find Evan laying on the bed in just his boxers. I can’t help but look over his entire body. His muscles look huge despite being relaxed and not at all flexing. I hurry over to the bathroom so I can brush my teeth and as I bend over the sink to rinse my mouth I hear a loud growl and flip around. Evan is resting against the door frame. “Ahem. Sorry, I didn’t mean for that to come out.” I can’t help but blush knowing I'm probably teasing him. He takes a step closer to me and I feel myself growing warm, my blush traveling down to my neck and chest, as dampness starts to grow between my thighs sending tingles deep into my core. I try to remind myself to breathe and that I wanted this to be a family friendly evening but everything about this man makes me want to climb him like a tree. As he gets closer I feel like my heart is going to explode. He leans down and puts his arms on either side of me. Resting them on the counter behind me he whispers in my ear. “I thought you said you wanted a “g-rated” sleep over?” His breath on my ear and neck make me even wetter. He takes a deep breath in and whispers again. This time his voice sounds deeper for some reason. “I can smell how much you want me, kitten.”

One of his hands slides under the hem of my shirt and as soon as his fingertips graze my skin a tingling spreads through my body. I begin to have a strong need to feel his skin on mine. I lean into him. I feel his hands pull me close and lift me up onto the counter. I feel his erection against me, making me want him even more. His hands start to roam up my body, slowly spreading sparks throughout me. He starts to kiss and nibble my collarbone, slowly moving to my neck, then my chin, and stops just centimeters in front of my lips. He backs away allowing me to catch my breath. I notice he is also breathing heavily and his eyes are dark with lust. “I-I’m sorry Nora, I shouldn't have come in here. I will grab my clothes and head to my room for the night.” He turns to leave the bathroom. Without thinking I grab his arm sending sparks through both of us. He turns to me with his gold eyes filled with guilt. “You don’t have to do that Evan, I want you to stay here” I say. The guilt on his face fades and is replaced by excitement. “Are you sure Nora? I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable or rushed.” I can't help but smile and blush a little with how caring he’s being. “Yes I'm sure. You don't have to worry that I feel uncomfortable or rushed because If I ever do I promise I will let you know.” He nodded then left the bathroom and headed to the bed. I turn around and splash some cold water on my face to help me cool down.

After I wipe my face dry I head into the bedroom to turn the lights off before Evan stops me by laughing. “Oh no Nora i'm so sorry.” He gets up and walks toward me making my heart flutter again. “It looks like I got a little ahead of myself.” “What do you mean?” I ask. He gestures and says “I left love bites all over your neck.” Although apologizing, he looks proud of himself I thought. When he stands this close to me I can't think straight. I'm immediately enveloped in his scent, making my brain puddy. He reaches up and brushes my bottom lip with his thumb, causing my legs to go weak. Evan notices my legs weakening and puts his arm around me, holding me up against him while he flips the lights off. He pulls me up and carries me to the bed, laying me down and getting in next as he continues to hold me close to him.

As I start to fall asleep Evan begins snoring and I nearly wake him trying to stop myself from laughing. While I lay awake feeling his arms tighten around me I start thinking about what I should do. I love my kids and if they are like the Demmings then it is probably best they're brought here so they can learn how to be like them. Next I start to think about what to do with Evan, who I realize I don't really know anything about. He might know that I'm his mate, but I'm not even sure I know what that means. I decide that I need to spend the time before my kids arrive getting to know this man in order to make the best choice for my family. Evan’s snoring starts to quiet as I finally fall asleep for the first night in a long time that isn't filled with nightmares.
