Mauve curled on the bed with Jael. She rested her head on his chest as he fiddled with her hair. Neither of them said a word as she tried to listen to his heartbeat.
She was dressed in her nightdress while all he had on was a pair of pants and no shirt. Typical. The cover sheets were pulled up all the way to her legs.
She was pretty much ready to sleep now but she found that she wasn't sleepy. Today has been eventful and draining.
She was sure it must have been even worse for Jael. He didn't see him until it was almost ti for the last al.
The last al went without incident and she did see Kieran. He loved the sa as usual. She had barely gotten a chance to speak to him but it was understandable considering everything that was going on.
"What are you thinking about?" He asked.
She lifted her head slightly to look at him and saw that he was looking down at her. Mauve adjusted so she was lying on her front.
She rested her hands on his bare chest, using them to prop her head up so she could see his face more easily.
"About how stressful your day must have been."
"You have no idea," he said and for a second his mask fell off. "But don't worry about it. I had it all sorted out."
She frowned, "I heard about the young vampire."
"Yeah," he groaned. "The good news is he is fine but the wounds will definitely leave a mark."
"I am sure, I heard it was terrible."
"It was, I will spare you the gory details but at least his wounds are closing. They would need more than just a couple of days to heal."
"Oh my," she shook her head.
She didn't want to think of the pain he must be going through. She already had an encounter with a Paler and she would wish the experience on her worst enemy.
"But he will be fine. As soon as he is fit enough to travel he will return back to his parents. The problem is having to reassure the rest of the squad. I am sure they are all traumatized by the incident. This is the first major injury anyone has gotten from attacking a Paler."
"I am sorry about that." It sounded so bad and she could tell this was going to take a toll on all of them, especially Jael.
"It's not your place to apologize," he said.
"I know," she said. "I just wished there was so way I could help."
"I can think of all sorts of ways," he said as his eyes strayed to her lips.
"Really? What are they?" She asked. "I will help in any way I can."
Jael blinked, his eyes returning to her eyes. He didn't even hide that he was not expecting her response.
"Are you pretending to not know what I an?" He asked with a raised brow.
Mauve turned bright red. She knew exactly what he ant and was trying to put on an act but here he was ruining her bluff.
He smirked, staring intensely. "I guess you do know what I an," he said.
"Yes," she replied and looked away from him, hiding her face in his chest.
"Don't get shy on now," he replied and adjusted her head so she was looking at him again. "Are you taking back your offer to help?"
Mauve closed her eyes and shook her head. It was hard to et his gaze, it didn't help that he was looking at her like that.
"Well, I'd like to see how you'd help because I need all the help I can get."
"I don't know," she replied, opening her eyes but still refusing to et his gaze. "You tell what you want to do."
Jael took a sharp breath. "Mauve when you say it like that, I can't hold myself back."
"I am sure I can take it," she replied.
Mauve watched Jael's eyes widen. His reaction was the only reason why she wasn't dying of embarrassnt right now.
However, he recovered quickly as he smirked and flipped her over so she had her back to the bed while he hovered over her.
Mauve squealed at the sudden movent. She looked up at him and by the look in his eyes, she could tell she might have bit a little more than she could chew.
He pressed his lower half on her and Mauve could tell he was ready to go.
"Are you sure about that?" He asked. His eyes scanned her face as she spoke. "You wouldn't say those words lightly right."
Mauve's breath caught in her throat, his fangs were grown and his blue eyes glowed. It was crazy that was all she needed to say to get a reaction from him.
"Have I ever said sothing I couldn't do? I'm sure my track record speaks for ."
Mauve's face was bright red at this point. If she had to say another corny line. She would bury herself under the bed.
"I keep trying to hold back but you keep teasing ." He leaned closer to her," Note that if you cry for to stop, I won't."
His desire made his voice raspy and Mauve couldn't help but feel a bit of pride that it was because of her.
He pulled his lips away from her ear and moved to her lips. Mauve closed her eyes and his cold lips touched her.
He kissed her hard, her soft lips molding to his control. Gently but surely he coerced them open and sucked on her tongue.
She could feel his fangs against her tongue but that aroused her even more.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and he turned so she was atop him. He placed his hand on her lower back and pressed her against himself. Did he feel bigger?
