Chapter 14
Elizabeth's pancakes were the best breakfast I have had in so long! It took so much self control to not moan at the taste of them. Once breakfast was over Tommy and I headed back to my apartment. I needed to get out of these clothes and shower. When we arrived Tommy seemed unsure if he should leave or stay, I knew I should put him out of his misery but watching his confused face was too adorable. It looked like he was having an internal struggle and I watched on in my evil amusement. Ok I am not evil, but he really looked adorable trying to figure out how not to push too far.
I had only learned we were mates and after only knowing him for a short time. No wonder he is unsure, but what he doesn't know is that I fell for him the first day I saw him. I had pushed my thoughts of him away because I had thought he was human and I was trying to lay low. Now that I knew what he was and what we were, I was happy! I had someone in my life again, someone who cared about me and there was no way I was going to let go.
"Come on." I say finally taking his hand and leading him inside with me.
I hear him let out a sigh of relief as we walk, and I chuckle a little he really was worried I wanted him to leave. I never want to be away from him again to be honest! I have felt so alone and seeing how Tommy cares for me makes me want to keep him close to me.
When we get inside he takes a seat on my couch and awkwardly sites with both hands flat on his knees. I can't help but laugh at this, what happened to cool confident Tommy?
"Why are so awkward?" I blurt out watching him as I remove my shoes.
"I'm not!" He says quickly and loudly.
He tries to move and look more natural but only makes him look goofy.
I walk over to to the couch and sit beside him. He gives me a glance and looks away quickly, now I am starting to worry. Did I do something wrong?
"Tommy, what's wrong? Did I upset you?" I ask meekly.
His eyes grow wide and a look of guilt washes over his face.
"No of course not Maya! I'm sorry! I just wasn't sure how you felt about us after everything. I mean last night and this morning was so nice but I wasn't sure if it was just a fluke thing. Or if maybe you are not ready to be that close again." He stammers on a little longer before I place my finger on his lips to make him stop talking.
"I am so happy to have you. You have no idea how alone I have felt since I came here. I have no one Tommy, no family, no friends. I am so happy!" I admit happily.
His face softens at my words and he brushes my cheek with his thumb and I lean into the touch.
"I will always be there for you! I just want to make sure you are ready to be my mate." He says.
"I am." I reply confidently.
This is enough to make us inch closer to each other both of us wanting to remove the space between us. When we are a breath away he stops and locks his eyes on mine.
"Can I kiss you?" He asks in a deep whisper.
"Please." I say.
As soon as the word leaves my mouth, his lips are pressed firmly against mine. The kiss is chaste at first, he seems to want to take things slow. I on the other hand feel like my whole body is on fire, and I want more. My attraction to Tommy has grown suddenly and I feel like I need to be closer to him. I inch forward almost sitting in his lap and kiss him harder. He groans and I can feel his body tense, and I know he is restraining himself to not go too far. I pull away leaving both of breathless.
"Why are you holding back?" I ask annoyed.
"Because if I let go, I won't be able to stop." He says through his clench jaw.
I gaze over his face and my eyes travel lower down his body and the heat inside me grows.
"I don't want you to stop." I say simply.
His eyes meet mine and they ask me if I am sure. I lean closer to him and kiss him softly.
"Don't stop." I tell him between kisses.
He groans again, still trying to give me space, but I have had enough. I climb into his lap and kiss him harder and I feel his tense muscles relax and he wraps his arms around my waist. That's more like it! Our kiss deepens and it becomes passionate and intense, making me want him more. I reach down and slip my hand under the hem of his shirt and brush my fingers along his bare skin. He shivers under my touch and I being pulling the shirt up and up and over his head. He looks at me with burning eyes and they travel down my body and he smirks. I run my hands along his exposed chest and kiss him again.
His hands travel under my shirt and up my back until he reaches my bra strap, with a rough tug he rips it off and it falls down my shoulders. He breaks our kiss a quickly pulls my shirt off until I am bare in front of him. His stare is intense, and he starts to kiss down my neck and along my shoulder. I grab onto his hair and try to pull him closer if that's even possible, and he groans louder while his lips brush kisses down my body.
"Should we move this to the bedroom?" He asks looking up at me.
I can't speak I am too overwhelmed with the sensations I was experiencing already, so I nodded. He picks me up under my thighs and walks us to my room, gently placing my on the bed and climbing slowly on top of me kissing along my stomach and chest before finding my lips again.
I was falling apart already, and we had only begun, there was no way we were leaving this apartment today.
