Shadow Guy

Chapter Thirteen

The air blew hard against me and I buried my head into his shoulder. I could feel him running faster than he usually would. He seems to be saving and caring a lot lately.... well actually since we met. The longer I went without eating the more the pain grew in my stomach.

When the air finally stopped blowing, I knew we arrived wherever we were going. J.T placed me on the dry earth; I guess we're in the woods. "I'll be back in the minute; I swear I won't be gone longer!" I pleaded with my eyes for him not to leave me alone here and he must have noticed because he brushed his thumb against my cheek and whispered, "I swear I'll be right back"

And then he was gone. I closed my eyes feeling the pain hitting me harder, "Ok, open your eyes," wow that was really fast! I opened my eyes and saw J.T making a small cut on the wrist of a teenage boy. He was blonde and with a long kinda cute nose.

The blood came out straight away and J.T put the boy's arm down coming around to me. He sat me up and placed his leg behind me so that I was leaning back against it and my head on his knee. J.T pulled the boy's wrist and held out to me.

I shook my head, "You have too, you'll die if you don't! You're a half vampire! You can't go long without it!" I saw the urgency in his hazel eyes but I refused. "Please just drink!" he pushed the boy’s wrist to my lips but I turned my head so that the blood smudged my cheek instead of my lips.

I heard him growl but I still wouldn't drink. "Brie, you need too, one way or another you'll have too. You're a vampire and nothing is ever going to change that! We all hate having to do it but it's what helps us survive!" he tried to be calm but I could see it slipping away from him.

The next thing I knew J.T brought the boys wrist to his mouth and drank it, "Now it's your turn!" he pushed the wrist to me and I still wouldn't take it. There was blood on his lips and that's when the smell hit me, it smelt.... just tasty.

Nooo! I can't! "Brie please!" was he actually begging me? I gave in and he placed the wrist to my mouth. The minute I drank the first sip of his blood my eyes widened and I started taking gulps. It did have that metallic taste but it tasted salty.... nice.... addictive.

The feeling started to sink into my legs and arms. My heart started to slow down...wait not mine, his, I could feel the life draining out of him. I stopped drinking and J.T was gone again, most probably putting the boy back from where he found him.

"You feeling better?" I looked up to see J.T staring back down at me with a wild grin in. I nodded and he sat down next to me. "How'd it taste?" I looked at him and narrowed my eyes.

"You're the worst Sha.... J. T" I went quiet and looked down at the floor.

Shit! Why do I keep saying his first name?

"Don't worry, you can say my name as long as you don't say it in front of the other's" I smiled and couldn't help but say,

"You’re actually a softy," he chuckled and then got to his feet.

"We better go," I nodded and expected him to put me on his back but he.... just carried me the same way again! When we arrived back, Shane got a call from John saying they wouldn't be back until tomorrow night but that Matt should be arriving soon.

I decided to go to bed and guess what!?! Shane had to come.... AGAIN! To make sure I wasn't killed. He sat on the chair in the corner watching me as I tried to sleep, "Can you at least not keep looking at me? I can't sleep! Oh, and please don't go all bloody again," he smiled and turned his head.

I lay back down and fell asleep.

I woke in the morning remembering that I didn't change my clothes! I got up and walked up to where Shane was sleeping. Boy, so much for the staying awake to make sure you aren't killed. I slapped his arm and he shot up awake.

"Meet me in the attic, next lesson," he just walked off! That's all he said! I huffed and pulled out a pair of jean shorts, and boy was they short! I took out a white shirt and made a knot at the bottom revealing more than just my belly button.

I put on some ankle socks and white trainers. I tied my hair up in a ponytail and went up to the attic. "Nice," Shane said grinning. I gave him the finger. "Ok, so you've got the punching and kicking so let's have a one on one." My mouth fell open. Is he crazy!?!

Before I could protest, he came at me but somehow, I blocked it with my arm and threw a punch at him. We went on like that for half an hour then we added speed for an hour. We were sweaty and I really wanted to call it a day, he was kicking my ass in this.

I mean I got him a few times but I went flying across the room about a thousand times! I kicked me in the stomach and I went rolling hitting the other wall, it didn't hurt cause he wasn't using his full strength. Just as I was getting up, he swung his leg to hit me but I caught it and punched him in the ribcage before getting to my feet and going for a punch to his face.

Before my hand connected with his face, he caught it and without knowing it he shoved me against the wall holding my hands up above my head. My breathing was uneven and it only got worse.

"You gotta feel it," he said huskily. He slid his hands down my sides, staring off slowly moving his hands down my arms, for some crazy reason I wasn’t protesting. I suppressed a moan as half of his hands touched the side of my breast. He kept moving down to my bare skin and reached my leg.

He kept eye contact with me the whole time, I should be stopping this, so why aren't I? When his hands came into contact with my skin again I wrapped them around his waist and he pulled me away from the wall.

My hands wrapped around his neck and one of his hands went to my back supporting me up as well as the one that was wrapped under my bum. His lips were inches from mine and I could feel his forced breath against my lips faster. My gaze was locked with his.

What the hell am I doing? I've gone along with it; I need to stop it now! I should be kicking his ass! Without knowing it I slammed my lips down on his. God, he tasted so good! He bit down on my bottom lip and I opened up giving him access.

He explored my mouth and I did the same to him. I tugged at his hair lightly and realized he wasn't pulling away either, but wait.... we’re just really annoying friends! But I couldn't stop, I had the will but...I....diddon't want too.

The next thing I knew I was being laid down on a bed, I'm not sure if it was mine or his. He was on top of me with my arms and legs still wrapped around him. I bit down on his lips causing him to bleed slightly, he moaned into my mouth and I smiled to myself.

"J. T!? Brie!?" Shane pulled away as we heard Matt screaming our names from downstairs. In seconds Shane was at the door with his ear to it. I sat up and I realized what the hell I was doing! I looked around and saw I was in his room.

Two seconds and Shane was downstairs talking to Matt. I walked out of his room and walked down the stairs acting like nothing happened, OH MY GOD! I almost.... with.... SHANE! Am I crazy!?! It was actually easy acting as nothing happened.

"Hey, Matt! What the f**k's going on? We got attacked last night," Shane turned to look at me surprised at how good I was covering it up.

"Well we heard the news that some vampires have reached the town, but we have no idea how those certain vampires knew it was you," I nodded at Matt and walked into the living room.

Shane walked in with Matt behind him, Shane's top was drenched and he gave me a grin. THAT MOTHER FUCKER! I didn't keep eye contact with him knowing that I'd most probably say it. Halfway through a movie, Matt had to go out for a few hours and as Matt left to leave, I went into the kitchen.

I was leaning over the sink when I heard the door shut. Great left alone again! I turned around and almost jumped up on the sink, Shane was right behind me. He moved closer, inches away, "Don't even think about it! It was in the moment before and... A thank you for the whole saving me,"

It took hell to keep my voice stern and loud. "Is that why you're breathing faster than normal? The reason why your heart's beating harder? The reason why you smell of restraint?" s**t! How did he know all that? Ok, I'm still kinda human so he can detect that.

I tried to move but before I knew it, he moved his hand under my leg spinning me around and lifting me onto the counter. Moving in between my legs, he stood towering above me and I swear I couldn't breathe. "I...I..." Damn it! I can't finish my stupid sentences!

He chuckled under his breath and that blew it, "Shane? Get lost," he just looked up at me and I pushed him away jumping down from the counter.

"Yeah, but you'll come back and believe me you'll stay next time."

I walked up to my room and fell on the bed, ok so when I said I don't want to be with James it also kinda meant I didn't want to be with Shane....but god he makes me crazy!

But why does he only show that side to me.... it’s kinda like he.... can connect with me. but he ain't my vampire mate because I did a bit of research before and its say's vampires don't have mates, so I guess he's wrong.... but then why do.... oh, dear God forgive me for saying this.... but why do I want him this badly?
