i saw the werewolf . |
in human form , though ! |
mia buried her face into my chest . |
he threatened me and my family . |
he said if i dont make a potion to poison the guy hed had me try to heal , then he would kill us . |
she looked up at me with tears shimmering in her eyes . |
he ... he changed you on purpose . |
i wrapped my arms around her , holding her close to me . |
sshhh . |
dont worry . |
i wont let him hurt you or your family . |
perhaps changing me will be his mistake . |
im more powerful than i was . |
ill be able to protect you . |
i pressed a kiss to the top of her head , but that wasnt enough . |
itd never be enough . |
she wasnt my sister . |
polite kisses in respectful places werent the only way to show affection for her . |
need slammed into me , and i bent to claim her lips . |
chapter twelve mia ethan propped me on the countertop , and i wrapped my legs around him , instinct kicking in . |
our lips brushed a sensual meeting of mouths . |
he slid his tongue over my lower lip , caressing and teasing . |
if i hadnt been sitting on the counter , my knees wouldve given out . |
i opened my mouth to him , brushing my tongue against his , inviting him in . |
without hesitation , he slipped his tongue inside , and the kiss grew more desperate and heated . |
i cradled the back of his neck , running my hands over his soft , close-cut hair . |
he ran his hands from my waist down to my knees , then he trailed them back up my legs . |
arousal moistened my thighs , and i wanted him more than id ever wanted another man . |
his nostrils flared , and he pulled me from the counter so i pressed snuggly against his body . |
i moaned , unable to stop myself . |
ethan bumped me against the wall on the way out of the kitchen . |
we stayed there a moment , his mouth still devouring mine . |
he kneaded my backside with his large hands . |
i wanted to strip his clothes off him , right then and there . |
his muscular body beneath my hands was divine . |
with him this close , i felt cozy and protected , especially after what happened last night . |
maybe he was right . |
if ethan was a werewolf now , he posed a greater threat to the guy who attacked us . |
i trailed my hands down his front , eager to see what lay beneath his pajama bottoms . |
the bulge pressed tight against me told me how happy he was to be here . |
id never felt like this with anyone else . |
he readjusted our position , pulling me away from the wall again , then he headed toward the living room . |
for a moment , i thought hed stop at the couch , but he continued toward the stairs . |
my breath lodged in my throat . |
this was going to happen . |
the buzzing of my cell phone broke me from my bliss . |
could that be jessa ? |
i couldnt miss the call . |
ethan started up the steps , not worrying about the call , but i pushed against his chest . |
i need to take that . |
cant it wait ? |
it might be my friend , jessa . |
i havent heard from her , and she said she was going to call . |
ive been kind of worried , with all thats going on . |
i didnt want to go into her role in the situation , even though he had a right to know . |
he set me to my feet gently . |
dont take too long . |
i need you , mia . |
i could tell that from the bulge in his pants . |
i wont . |
i promise . |
when i got to my phone , i nearly dropped it : greg . |
mia ? |
is everything okay ? |
ethan was at my side in the span of a heartbeat . |
he picked up my phone and saw the caller id . |
a sigh rushed from his lungs , and he handed it to me . |
ill be in the shower . |
i wanted to cry . |
my body burned for ethan . |
we had a connection and , while the love potion mightve heightened it , our feelings for each other had been there for years under the surface . |
i could tell he cared for me . |
im so sorry , ethan . |
answer the call . |
he brushed his hand over my hair , then he took off upstairs . |
greg , hi , i said , trying to sound like my heart wasnt breaking . |
id vowed not to break his heart before the holidays . |
if only my own wasnt doing the exact thing id hoped to prevent . |
im not interrupting anything , am i ? |
he sounded his usual condescending and wisecracking self . |
when he was like this , i forgot what had drawn us together in the first place . |
fear of being forever alone , i guess . |
but he had been more kind and considerate at the very beginning . |
i had to run for the phone . |
it was the truth . |
thats all . |
whats up ? |
i forced myself to sound more chipper than i was . |
were still on for your parents christmas eve dinner tomorrow , right ? |
maybe afterward we can hang out at my place . |
i have something for you . |
the way he said it made it obvious what he wanted . |
greg and i had never been intimate . |
why he thought that would change because it was christmas eve flew over my head . |
i scoured my brain for an excuse . |
after the dinner , which shouldve been called lunch because of how early it always was , id need to escape home , craft the potion , then take it to jessas shop . |
but no , i couldnt do that . |
i needed the ingredients . |
great , ill pick you up , and well head there together . |
no use taking two cars when well just go back to my place . |
