Not ready yet

-Eve POV-

I see how Dr. Rose leaves the room and I’m not ready to do all those examinations in the morning. But I’m not ready to talk to Adam, either.

“Babe? Are you alright?” I hear Adam’s voice near my ear. I sigh internally, “Yes, cowboy, I’m alright. Just tired, that’s it.”

“Cowboy? Is that how you’re calling me from now on?” Adam chuckles.

“You don’t like it? I thought it suits you; you like country stuff, don’t you? I’m sorry, I -”

“Shhhh.. It’s fine, you’re right. I’m all about the country stuff. It’s sweet. Thanks, babe.”

“But what about ‘babe’, couldn’t you think off anything more original?” I say to him. I can’t see his face, but I know he thinks about it, and I smile.

“Well, uhhh.. I’ve been calling you ‘little one’ for ages now. And I still like it, but I wanted to call you something more ‘mate-worthy’.” Adam says, a bit overwhelmed and uneasily.

Now it’s my turn to chuckle. “It’s fine, you silly one. I like ‘little one’, it feels comfortable. But I guess I can use a new nickname as well, something more ‘mate-worthy’ indeed.” I smile. “But I don’t like the ‘babe-thing’. So cut that off. Try something else…”

“Damn, conditions too, huh? What about ‘princess’, ‘cuddles’ or ‘sweetie’?”

I roll my eyes.

“I can see that, little one. I guess that’s a ‘no’. Well, I’ll come with something else. But right now, you need to catch some sleep. I think I can better go, now.”

I try to sit up in my bed and say: “No! Please, stay Adam! I’m feeling better when you are around. Why? Why do you want to go? I’ve plenty of space left in this bed, as you can see.”

“Yeah, about that. Why does a little girl like you, needs a big bed like this?” Adam says with laughter shining through his sentence.

“Well, I just love to sleep diagonally and enjoying the freedom. But don’t you dare changing the subject! Why, Adam?”

Adam sighs and changes his position so he can look at me. “Because, you little one, this is not easy for me. I’ve troubles containing my wolf right now. Well, not only now, every time I see you, actually. But especially in this kind of environments.”

I’m confused. What is he talking about? He can just go outside and give his wolf a nice run, right? What has it to do with me? I notice Adam sees I’m confused. So he continues:

“You’re laying in a bed, right now. In nothing more than an oversized t-shirt and God knows what’s below there..” He points out to the blanket, in the area where my legs are ending. “I can see your beautiful face, I can smell you’re incredibly overwhelming scent and I can’t stop thinking about the shower.” His voice becomes raspy when he says: “I’ve never been with a girl before, and I’m anxious about that. But my wolf doesn’t care. He’s ready to take you, right here and right now. Call it instinct.”

I’m shocked. What the hell was I thinking? Why didn’t I think about this before. Oh I feel so stupid, again! I’ve so much to learn. All I can say is: “Ohh…”

Adam smiles. “Yes, ‘Ooohh..’ suits this conversation. But I’ve already touched some of your skin, what isn’t seeing daylight that much, and now I’m addicted to it. Honestly: I couldn’t see that much of your gorgeous body, that morning. The steam from the hot water was ruining my sight and I was too busy kissing those amazing lips. But, it was enough to know I need to keep more distance, because I’m afraid I can’t stop on time anymore.”

He hesitates, but he says: “... You’ve told me about Ted and what happened back there. And you haven’t been with a guy, either. I’m surprised you can kiss like this, to be honest..”

I want to protest, to let him know I’m not a completely newbie about all this, but he doesn’t let me.

“No, Eve. I’ve seen you with other guys, remember? Maybe it was all meant to be - but I’ve always watched you. Made sure, nobody touches you inappropriate or something. You’ve always been the most gorgeous girl from your classes, and now we know why; you’re a woman. Not a little girl. But yeah, I just know you’re also new to this, Eve. And that’s OK. We found out, together. But you’re not ready, I can tell.”

I smile. I know he’s right. I'm not ready to take step two, in fact: a few days earlier I had no idea what step two was about, but I know how to kiss and I'm ready to show him. I caress his cheek and give him a kiss. Not a soft one, but demanding. I’m in charge now. He thinks he knows me, but I had tricks of my own, back then, I knew how I had to escape the observent eyes of Joshua and Adam... The moment I need some breath, I let go of his lips.

“You think you know me, that’s adorable, but you’ve much to learn about me, cowboy. I have secrets of my own. I’m not the complete virgin you think I am.” I say to him.

Eve looks into a stunned face, Adam doesn’t know how to react. “... Well, I believe you. You can’t have learned this by just reading girly magazines, that’s for sure..” and he touches his lips, still surprised by Eve’s dominating kiss.

“But, I’m telling you. You’re playing with fire over here, little one.” Adam gives Eve a small kiss on her lips and stands up.

I look at him, and I see the bulge. I chuckle: “I’m just trying to train that lack of containment, that’s all.”

Adam sighs and stares back at me. His voice turns into a deep and lower segment, I see his eyes darkens and he says: “Be careful, kitty. Adam has warned you about me. He thinks he’s containing me, but the truth is: he can’t. I don’t want to hurt or scare you, you’re my mate as well.”

Adam’s taking a few steps closer to me and his face is now almost touching mine. “But I’m a wolf too - you know how horny we are. So, think about the next steps your taking.” He lowers his face and buries his nose into the V-lines of my t-shirt. I’m shocked, completely overwhelmed and I freeze in place. I feel how Adam is licking my cleavage and I’m liking it. No, that’s not a good description. I'm loving it. I want more! I feel how my body is reacting to his touches and my flower is leaking already.

A moan is leaving my mouth when he blows at my skin. “Like he said, kitty, you’re not ready. I know you want more - but you’re not ready.”

He inhales a deep breath while his nose is at my neck, and I hear his voice saying: “You smell amazing by the way.. Soon you’ll be mine. I promise.”

I feel butterflies all over my stomach by the thought of it. Adam’s walking back at the same spot he was before all this, and I can see how his eyes are turning green again.

“Eve? Are you OK? What did he do to you? I’m so sorry…” Adam says, completely shocked. I can see he feels guilty, so I comfort him.

“No, no.. Don’t worry Adam! Ace did nothing, well nothing bad..” I say to him, and I can feel my skin’s still burning from Adam’s tongue at my chest before.

Adam notices. “Oh God, Ace. What did you do? You’ve ruined my girl, you dickhead.”

I chuckle while I see how Adam’s having a internal conversation with his inner-self.

“Don’t worry, Adam. He was taking over your body to warn me. Yes, he warned me. I was - uhhh - I was pushing the boundaries. And he was right. I need to be more careful.” I say to him.

Adam looks at me and says: “I’ve told you, I can’t control him. Well, not always. I’m not sure why, but it seems druids have more troubles keeping the lead when it comes to the inner-beast.” He paused and sniffes the air. “But that’s not all, I can smell he left us a present. But I guess it’s not the right time to open it.” He smiles, referring to my leaking flower. He walks to the door and says: “Get some sleep, I’ll be here around 7, tomorrow morning.”

And without waiting at my response, he left the room.
