Ellie POV
I walked into the bathroom, over thinking again and making up scenarios in my head. I splashed cold water on my face and neck. I swear I felt his thumb lightly brushing against my cheek, atleast my body was acting as though it was. Luckily I'm not a boy and can hide my arousal or I could imagine a very embarrassing conversation happening.
My mind was still caught up in a frenzy ever since he lifted me up into the trees. The imagination was let loose and uncontrolled.
I kept picturing him slowly sliding my bathers to the side and inserting a finger while he held me in the air. He was so incredibly strong, he could do it. My mind went dirtier with thoughts of his tongue sliding through my wetness as I grinded on his face with my fingers gripping into him.
It wasn't just my imagination wanting him to touch me, I actually wanted him to do it. I could feel myself getting wet again thinking about it.
I went to close the door but stopping myself from closing it completely, leaving it open a touch. I mean if he wanted to join I wouldn't protest. I could just test it out so I can settle my thoughts. Check if I was losing my mind or if my desire was met with his own.
While the warer sprayed over my back, I stood there for a moment trying to decide what to do.
We're friends. best friends in fact, how could I be willing to risk that. I'm just stressed and looking for comfort but the wrong kind, a distraction for my upcoming shift
I started slowly washing myself. Taking a bit more time than usual incase he's still in the kitchen.
I heard the bathroom door click shut. I turned to face the door kind of hoping to see him on this side of it. I was only met with a view of the wooden door.
Why am I feeling so disappointed that he wasn't there? See, get out your head. It has to be the full moon nearly rising for me to be thinking like this, I'm being crazy. It's Dusty, my bestfriend, these feelings will pass.
Could you imagine that f**k up though? Could completely ruin our friendship if it went sour. I turned off the hot water and stood shivering under the cold to clear my mind from heated thoughts.
I got out the shower and dried myself. After I lathered myself in moisturiser, I grabbed my navy satin pajamas off the side and put them on.
I opened the bathroom door to see he had snacks and water on the bedside table. Everything was normal and how it should be.
"What are we watching?" I asked as I settled on the bed next to him.
"Something old school for a laugh" Dusty replied looking at the TV. He seemed on edge for someone putting something on for a laugh.
I grabbed a packet of chips and started cramming them in my mouth.
Focus on the food. Focus on the movie. Don't think about climbing into his lap and..... oh my gosh, stop it Ellie!
We sat there in the semi dark watching the movie together. It was an odd silence as we normally comment throughout the movie. Is it me? Am I being weird? Why does the air feel so thick with tension?
"What's wrong?" I finally asked.
"Nothing, just a lot on my mind" He muttered
"The Alpha training?" I queried
"Yeah I suppose. I'm pretty tired, happy to go to sleep?" he asked.
"Yeah sure" I answered not knowing if his answer was the truth. He climbed under the covers and rolled his back to me. I did the same with a sigh. Something is going on and it needs to be sorted before my birthday.
"Dusty?" I asked
"Mmm..."
"Are you sure you're alright?" I asked again
"Yes, I am. It's a big week this week. Really it's a week for you. Let's focus on that and celebrate all things you" He replied.
"Dusty?"
"Ellie if you ask if I'm ok again I'm going to have to kick you out of bed" He sighed
"No but are you going to pick me for Beta?" I hesitantly asked
He rolled over and had his face close to mine as he said "I think we both know the answer to that Ellie. So can we go to sleep now?"
I'm glad it was dark so he couldn't see the huge smile on my face.
I snuggled down into my covers and easily fell asleep.
