Wildfire

Chapter 14

I was watching the snow fall outside the window from the bedroom thinking about home and Blaine. It’s weird thinking about him honestly but lately he’s been on mind a lot. I miss him like crazy. Being away was hard, I could feel our bond wanting me to go and be with him. Truth is if it wasn’t for Clyde coming into my life the chances that me and Blaine would have been together are high. Don’t get me wrong though I don’t regret Clyde and I never will, he was the love of my life. Just for some reason here lately Blaine’s been in my head a lot. Maybe I just miss my best friend.

I was leaned back against James and he was leaning against the headboard. We had just got done finding some more rouges earlier. I could tell we were getting closer. We’ve been finding more rouges coming out of hiding lately. Something going on I can feel it. After we finally throw the rouge down into the basement we just let Sierra take over. She’s seriously the best interrogator ever so we all can rest easy knowing that if anyone can get answers it’s her.

“ What are you thinking about?” James asks me, I can feel him rest his chin on my shoulder. I’m so comfortable being in his arms.

“ I’m just thinking of home,” I tell him. “Guess I’m just starting to miss my family, Blaine, and old pack. I wish we’d had more leads. It’s just tiring I guess.. but I won’t give up.”

I can feel him holding me tighter. “We will get them one day baby I promise,” he says.

“I know,” I move to the side so I can see his face. I smile at him and look into those beautiful brown eyes and kiss him. Goodness this is one sexy ass man. We aren't in love with each other emotionally but damn physically? It was amazing being with him.

James and I had a heart to heart after a couple weeks of us doing whatever we were doing. I told him the truth about how I felt. That I didn’t think I could love him no matter how hard I tried and he understood. He told me he gave his heart away along time ago and never felt the same after. So he was happy with not making things complicated between us, just keeping it as friends with benefits.

Suddenly Sierra mind links everyone to come down stairs. I try to get up but James pulls me back down to give me a kiss. I can’t help but kiss back and smile. It sometimes made me sad knowing I that I couldn’t fall in love with this man, I tried but you can't force love when it's not there. No matter how hard you wish.

“Milly is going to come kick our ass if we don’t go!” I tell him. He sighs and gets up.

While we walk to the door the damn guy slaps my ass. I glared at him playfully . We finally head down stairs to see everyone was already there. I stare at James an he just shrugs while having a huge grin on his face. Finally we all sit down and stare at Sierra. She looked at everyone sternly and told us the one thing we’ve all been wanting to hear.

“I’ve got a lead."
