The Werewolf's Chapter 83: Nervousness

Chapter 83: Nervousness.

Jabi.

He carries

in his arms and he doesn’t stop running until we are out of the woods and on the streets. Darrien doesn’t let go of ; I am worried about the people in my pack. Darrien doesn’t seem to want to go back. I don’t know what transpired before he found

but I need to know.

"Are you okay?’’ he asks

almost like he can read my mind.

I manage a nod as he grips my waist tighter. My eyes stay on his face "Is everyone okay? Did you get to Beau safely?"

"A lot of people got hurt, I don’t know them so I can’t tell you who survived but Beau is fine. He is handling everything.’’ He pauses and I see the confliction in his eyes "Do you want to go back?’’

This man is amazing.

"I want to be with you," I answer him honestly.

Being with makes

feel safe. I am tired of the feeling of uncertainty. Deciding to live ans I can’t be thinking about others but myself—at least until I get stronger.

We keep going until we are in front of a building, my head is pressed to against his chest. The feelings from just being in his arms are everything. I lose myself in him completely until we are inside a house. My eyes were closed the whole ti, but once he puts

down on a couch, I open them to him watching

with this intent stare. I feel shivers down my spine as he reaches for

and brushes a strand of hair from my eyes. Everything about this situation is overwhelming. Having soone that cares about

so much. I never thought I would have that and this man in front of

is looking at

like he would do anything for .

’’How do you feel?’’ he asks calmly.

I try to sit up but he shakes his head, I stay on my back in submission. He is worried about .

’’I feel okay. He didn’t hurt .’’ that is the truth. The vampire that took

didn’t know what he was doing. If anything he felt like taking

was the only solution. I don’t know his story or why he did what he did but I also don’t think he is a bad person.

’’What can I do to make you feel better? I am losing my mind right now. I need to do sothing for you.’’ His voice sounds pained.

’’You’ve done everything.’’

There is nothing he needs to do again. I am here with him, safe from the outside world. That is more than enough but he doesn’t seem to think he has done enough.

’’Do you want to have a bath, are you hungry?’’ he rambles still watching

on the edge of the bed. I look around the room for the first ti. This is not his house; this place is different. it must be the apartnt he was talking about. The walls are a light grey. The room is quite small, apart from the bed and a tv on the wall there is no other furniture. The place doesn’t even look lived in but it is also very modern and extravagant.

’’I don’t mind a shower.’’

I feel sticky and dirty. A shower sounds really nice right now. He stands up from next to

and tries to carry

in his arms ’’I can walk,’’ I try to tell him but the look on his face has

cowering. I don’t want to disappoint him right now. There is sothing about the way he is acting. He wants to take care of

and I can’t refuse him that right now.

The butterflies in my stomach attack

at once as his hands touch my bare skin. I have never felt anything like this from a touch.

What?

He carries

into a door and I look at the tiled walls. Unlike the room, this place looks like heaven. The bathroom is very bright, there is a shower, the biggest tub I have ever seen, a sink and the toilet. It is very spacious. I could stay in this tub all night.

He places

on the edge of the tub and I sit down as I watch him open the tap and prep everything for a bath. I don’t know what is happening but this seems like he intends to help . even though I am completely fine and can do this on my own. I have never had anyone be this concerned about .

Never.

’’I can do this myself Dar,’’ I call his na. he looks at

and I can’t help but stare back at him. the fact that we are here acting like everything is right with the world, even though there are vampires out to get

and my kind makes this even more terrifying.

’’I want to help you, please let

help you,’’ the sound of his voice tugs at my heartstrings. He sounds so vulnerable; I never imagined a vulnerability this strong coming from him.

"Okay,’’ he reaches for my shirt and I let him take it off. There is nothing sexual about what is going on. My heart is racing against my chest, this is a first for . Soone wanting to take care of . I do my shorts without his help and watch him as he pours shower gel into the water.

"You a hot water kinda guy or just lukewarm?’’ he raises a brow in question.

"Hot water."

He opens the hot water tap and closes the cold, testing the water with his fingers. I sit there in just my underwear watching him with so much love and admiration.

"The water is perfect now.’’

I stand on my feet and he turns away as I take off my boxers and climb into the tub. The water is actually perfect. ’’I will be right outside,’’ he says and I nod nervously.

He walks out of the bathroom and I close my eyes as I try to enjoy this. I have never been in a tub before. This is freaking relaxing. Is this how my new life is going to be? Can I get used to this? To Darrien taking care of ? what happens if he doesn’t want

anymore. I don’t know if I can go through the pain of losing everything that I have co to love so much.

I hear the door open and he walks in again. There is a look in his eyes that I haven’t seen before. I don’t know what it is "Can I join you in there?’’ he asks with a hint of nervousness.

Am I making him nervous?

"You an in the bathtub?’’ you can’t fault

for asking him. I don’t know what he wants with . there is this line that has been drawn between us and I can’t tell if he wants to cross it. I really don’t know what is going on in his head.

"Yes, I won’t do anything. I just want to be with you.’’

My heart is dancing against the confinents of my rib cage. It feels ecstatic like I am in heaven from just those words. He wants to be close to . Darrien, this beautiful perfect man wants to be close to

and I want all that he wants and more. I want him to hold . I want him to kiss , I will take a lot more than just being close to .

My breathing becos heavy as I manage a nod. He smiles from my response and my heart lts from that beautiful smile.

He takes off his clothes and unlike him I don’t turn away. I want to see him in all his glory. I knew he was perfect even before I saw him naked but now, I can confirm that he is. My eyes stay fixated to him as he walks into the tub naked and perfect. This tub is big enough for the both of us, we wouldn’t even have to squeeze together but Darrien shifts close to

that our bodies press together.

"Relax,’’ he breathes into my ear.

I didn’t even realise my hands are shaking until he grabs unto them to calm

down "Do I make you uncomfortable?’’

I shake my head imdiately.

He sighs "You make

nervous.’’ He confesses and my heart jolts in excitent. The fact that I have so effect on him is everything to . I want him to want

as much as I want him. "You’re just a kid, I shouldn’t feel this way.’’

I don’t know what to say about those words. I could argue with him and tell him that I am sixteen. That I am not a kid but he is right. I am a kid. Supposed to be innocent but the thoughts I have right now are not so innocent with him in this bathtub naked.

Shoot.
