Amy
My blood is heating up. I can feel hot blood running through my veins. Oh, god! Jace is so close to me that I can breathe in his scent. His manly scent is sexy as hell. He smells like collagen and wood. A strange mixture but has got me intoxicated.
"What do I do to you?" I whisper into his hair.
"You really want to know?" he inquires in a tone sexy as hell.
"Yes," I reply and dare to run my hand over his chest. It feels so hard through his shirt. It is no doubt he works out.
"Are you tempting me, Amy?" he asks me with a smile playing on his lips.
"I hope so," I reply with a shy smile.
"Damn it, Amy," he curses and grasps my waist. He puts me on top of the kitchen counter with my legs engulfing his waist. His lips run across my jaw and his breathing tickles my skin. I purse my lips to stifle a giggle.
"I don't think you would want to talk about it," he purrs into my hair.
"What? Is it terrifying?" I grin into his neck.
"No, the opposite," he says.
"Amazing?" I ask.
"That smart mouth can surely be put to good use," he says with hooded eyes.
"We can arrange that," I don't have any idea what I am saying. My mouth clearly has a mind of its own. I kinda like it.
"Can we now?" he says with an evil smirk. My blood boils. I sink my teeth into my bottom lip. I hope I don't leave bruises. His hands caress my bare thighs. I had not realized that my dress had gone up and part of my thighs was exposed. His hands work lazy patterns on my thighs which send delicious tingles to my core.
"You make me lose control," he whispers into my ear. I run my fingers through his hair and he moans into my ear. My insides melt. His hands run up my back in a caress and across the zipper.
"Jace," I don't know what am doing.
"Amy," he whispers across my lips and a delicious tingle runs down my spine to my groin. His lips brush mine again and I can't resist any longer. I pull him closer and his lips crush against mine. The kiss that was meant to be simple and gentle turns into a flaming and urgent kiss reflecting both our desires and lust. I open my mouth for him and his tongue sweeps over mine and they entangle into a dancing rhythm. The kitchen is filled with our moans and groans as we lose ourselves in the kiss. His mouth is so warm it heats my entire being.
Jace pulls out of the kiss leaving me wanting and panting. He untangles himself from my body and I immediately feel cold. I clasp my legs out of embarrassment and regain my composure.
"I'm so sorry, Amy. That was not supposed to happen," he says with a flat tone. He runs his hands through his messy unruly hair. He stands in front of me all calm and serious. My lover who was just making me feel good in the last minutes has already disappeared.
"Oh," is all I can bring myself to say.
"I am going to go now," he says and ticks his hands into the pockets of his jeans. I am too confused to say anything. I just nod to him and he walks out of the kitchen. I sink my head into my palms. I hear the door close and the house goes gravely quiet.
I won't cry.
I won't cry.
I am a big girl.
I repeat this mantra in my head so I won't break into tears. I can feel my eyes pooling with tears. What happened? Did he not like it? Did I do anything wrong? I thought he liked it. The way he held me and kissed me made me feel he liked me, but the way he withdrew from me told me other ways.
I knew this was going too fast. I had a great time at his house with his family. I liked them. Were they really happy to see me? Are they laughing at me now for being a silly girl who jumps into the arms of a man who she just met the night before?
I am now questioning everything. I am questioning my judgment and reasoning. What is wrong with me? Why did I kiss him? Why didn't I keep my distance from him? I should have just given him the damn water instead of saying all that shit that got me into this mess. I don't know what to think. What is the truth and what is the lie? Part of me tells me that I am just overreacting. That Jace had to go home to his family, but the way he just left; like nothing happened between us makes me doubt that.
My head is pounding and I can't stop the thoughts swimming in my head. I get off the counter and take some water. I drag my feet to the bedroom and remove my dress. I head for the shower in hope of refreshing myself. I stay in the shower for a long and get out when my skin would be very pale. I don't seem to care if my skin turns pale or white at that moment. I am too exhausted to mind anything.
The shower seems to have done me some relief. I throw on a nightshirt and enter into bed. I open my laptop to do some work before I sleep. I stare at the book I was editing but my mind is so far away. This is hopeless, I mutter to myself. I turn off the laptop and check my phone for something exciting. There is no message or anything. A stupid side of me hoped Jace would have sent a reassuring message, apologizing for his behavior. Hell! I don't even have his number. How did things happen so fast?
I am surely overreacting. Jace was sweet to me all day. Maybe he had a change of mood or something. He will surely come around. Tomorrow will be a good day. We will talk and smile. Perhaps he will kiss me again and we will makeup, a part of me hoped. I don't want to sink into my thoughts. My mind is filled with negative thoughts right now. I hold onto that thread of hope and cuddle with my pillow. I fall asleep into a dreamless slumber.
Jace I have been sitting at the door to Amy's apartment for hours now. Like a real jerk! She must be asleep by now. What happened? I didn't freak out. My wolf lost control. I started transforming in front of Amy. I could feel my claws digging into Amy's skin. My wolf wanted to mark her. To mark his mate so that everyone will know she is his. Amy is not ready for this. What if she hates me when she finds out exactly who I am? That is all that has been filling my head since I left Amy's kitchen like a chicken. I want to go back in but what will I tell her? She is probably mad at me now. I stand up and stare at the door. "I'm so sorry, Amy," I mutter to myself, remembering the glossy eyes that glared at me with disappointment. Dude, put your shit together, my subconscious screams at me. I turn on my heels and walk out of the apartment block. I walk into the woods remembering the first time I teased Amy about it. Things have been surely happening so fast. My wolf is so eager to burs
AmyI woke up with a light head. I willed myself not to think anything about Jace so that I can focus on my work. I realized that I had lagged behind on the book I was editing. I poured myself some coffee and sat in front of my laptop. I am surprised when I finish the book before one. I haven't eaten anything sensible since morning. I last ate a decent meal at Jace's house. Ugh... There he goes again. He just can't get out of my mind. I can't stop thinking about him. I miss him now.I turn off the laptop and go to the kitchen. I try not to remember that Jace was kissing me on that kitchen counter, but it's hopeless. Jace has probably done something to me. I have never been possessed by someone like this. I have to use possessed because I nolonger have any control over my own feelings. There isn't enough groceries in the kitchen for me to make a decent meal. I hate this day.While I am getting angry at my kitchen, someone knocks at my door. I am not expecti
JaceAmy invites me into her apartment and I enter without thinking twice. I know that I am being too careful with my words but I don't want to ruin this day for Amy and me. I want to be a normal man that Amy wants. She hasn't told me that I am abnormal. Maybe not yet. I really want to show her that I can be a normal boyfriend that she deserves."What are you thinking about?" Amy asks while walking into the kitchen. I follow behind her like a puppy."Nothing. Just you," I reply."What about me?" she inquires, and pours some water for herself into a glass."Everything.""Like?""How nice you are," I reply, and I am rewarded with a smile."Nice?" she raises an eyebrow at me."Yes," I reply, and walk farther into the kitchen."What makes you say so?" she asks with a shy smile."Because I am a jerk and you still went to lunch with me," I reply."I don't think you are a jerk," she shrugs her shoulder.
AmyI am so nervous when I get out of the kitchen. My body is still excited from the recent touches that Jace has been giving me. My legs are wobbly and I am slightly giddy. I wanted to ignore the call and go on with the Jace's rewarding and all that he has in store for me, but mom hasn't called me for a while. She could have something important to tell me."Hello, Amy. I'm sorry if I am disturbing you, switie," her voice is sweet and apologetic as ever."No, mom. It's fine. I wasn't that busy," I lie. I was actually very busy. Oh, and I have a man in my kitchen. I wonder what mom would say about that."I have a work seminar on Wednesday. It is going to be held in town where you are, so I want to visit you after," she says."That would be great, mom. I really miss you," I tell her."I miss you too, dear. That is why I can't miss this chance to see you in your new apartment," she says." Me too. I have a lot of things that I want to ta
JaceIt is quite dark when I leave Amy's apartment. I wanted to stay or drag Amy home with me, but I don't want to be the clingy type of boyfriend. I want to give her some breathing space even though our bodies demand the closeness to each other. I want to hold her till we say goodbye to the sun and good morning to it when we wake up but Amy and I are still new in our relationship. We need to give each other space so we can make sensible decisions. Amy has a job that requires a lot of her attention. I also need her attention. She has to decide on how to satisfy both our needs.I got her phone number. I couldn't make the mistake of going back home without it. Now I can go home with a peaceful mind knowing that I can reach her by just putting on my phone. My car still has her sweet smell. I wish she was in here driving with me to our home. It will be our home soon. I will make sure that happens. We could reach home and I would kiss her until we reach our bedroom. I don't
Amy I am so anxious to when my mom calls me telling me that she is already in town. The seminar is supposed to be ending at five in the evening. She says she will come to my apartment immediately after. I am so excited and nervous. I am just a bundle of nerves and I am afraid I will mess up. I have everything ready for her. I have already cleaned up and organized the entire apartment for her arrival. I really want to show my mom that I am now a grown and independent woman. I just want her to be proud of me. The knock on the door gets me to halt in my tracks. I am in the kitchen getting everything ready with the meal. I have already finished preparing and the only thing left is setting up the table and serving. I ran hastily to the door and take a deep breath before opening it. I don't want to appear a nervous mess when my mom sees me, but I am just too excited. "Mom!" I cry out as I engulf her in a tight bear hug. "Amy, sweetie," she smiles sweetly at me and the entire room heats u
JaceI am fuming with fury and morbid disgust. My body is covered in blood from the wounds I got from the fight. I know that I will heal quickly so that is the least of my concern. I can't get myself to calm down when the evil smirk Dwayne carried on his face when he mentioned Amy's name still replays in my mind. How dare he invade my private territory! I gave up my own park for the sake of peace but that didn't seem enough to him. He still wants more. He wants my mate and my family. He wants to take away the biggest treasures left in my life so that he can ruin my life."He is not going to stop this until he gets what he wants. Until he takes everything from me," I scream out towards Jose who is equally covered in blood. Patrick stands quietly behind me. His arm is still bleeding from the cut one of Dwayne's followers gave him during the fight. Jose nods frantically and I continue shouting over my lungs."I won't let him carry on his plans. He ruined my life an
AmyHaving Jace on top of me in my bed while my mom is asleep on the couch just an earshot away makes me feel so dirty. I just sneaked a man into my room in the middle of the night. Jace quickly removes his shirt and discards it on the floor. His hard muscles stretch out of his body in a sexy masculine way. I bet he works out every day. My fingers itch to draw patterns on his hair dusted chest"Seeing something you like?" he raises an eyebrow at me. I smile at him as he leans in closer toward me so I can have a better look. I run my fingers across his hard chest and sexy abs. He has a scar across his chest on the breast where his heart rests. It looks like a slash or scratch, I can't tell. I trace it with my fingers and place my palm on it to feel his heart bit. It looks like someone wanted to pull out his heart. He places his hand over mine and I look at him."My heart beats for you, baby. I don't think it could still beat if I lose you," his voice is raw with
