id been too worried about what greg would think to insist on taking ethan home , especially after all the blood hed lost . |
there was no way the salve couldve totally healed his wounds . |
jessa started her car , and i glanced out the window to see her pulling away . |
one more relationship poised on the brink of ruin . |
chapter nine ethan this dinner with mia and her parents tonight was making me nervous , especially after all wed been through yesterday . |
i grimaced . |
regardless of what had happened , that didnt change our relationship , even if i knew i wanted more than what we were . |
i didnt want the commitment and being with her still felt forbidden . |
besides , i still had no clue why she was in danger . |
there had to be something she hadnt told me . |
if i didnt talk with her soon , this whole thing might get swept under the rug , since i doubted wed be discussing it at the dinner table . |
getting my jeans and shirt on , i decided to go for a walk . |
that would attract far less attention from nolan than going for a drive . |
besides , mia didnt live that far away . |
when i knocked on her front door , no one answered . |
i frowned , glancing back at her car , which was parked in the driveway . |
somehow , i doubted she wasnt home . |
i rang the doorbell a few times , then i knocked again . |
what is it now ? |
she grumbled behind the closed door . |
her eyes widened when she opened it and saw me , and she took a couple steps back . |
i , uh ... . she wore a pair of tiny shorts and a tank top . |
her hair was ruffled from sleep and she didnt appear to be wearing a bra , from the way her nipples hardened as the cold air blew inside her house . |
ethan ! |
mia . |
i nodded , trying my best to keep my gaze at eye level . |
the hard peaks on her chest were tempting the hell out of me . |
the need to brush my fingers over them and hear her moan my name beneath me had my dick swelling . |
damn it ! |
this was getting ridiculous . |
either my hormones were going into overdrive again , or the secret ingredient in the healing salve had been a stupid love potion . |
why would she have concocted a love potion , then added some to a healing salve that shed used on herself ? |
it didnt add up . |
what are you doing here ? |
crossing her arms over her chest , she looked around my shoulder as if expecting to find me with someone else . |
i frowned . |
after last night , i wanted to swing by to see if you were okay . |
besides , we were both stressed , and we didnt get a chance to really talk about whats going on . |
grimacing , she pulled away from the doorway . |
im fine . |
just a few bumps and bruises . |
a few of the bruises in question looked like handprints on her upper arms . |
that fucking asshole . |
from the way shed reacted , i had a feeling ... . |
her gaze drifted down to where i was looking , and she gulped , retreating deeper into the house . |
i followed and shut the door behind me . |
those were ... . |
he was just ... . she grabbed a blanket from the couch , wrapping it around her shoulders . |
it was tense last night . |
he overreacted . |
she looked indecisive for a moment . |
i dont know . |
i took a few steps toward her . |
my anger retreated at the look in her eyes . |
you dont have to defend him to me . |
what he did was wrong . |
plain and simple . |
he shouldnt have touched you that way . |
she sighed and looked up at me . |
i know . |
if nolan put you up to this , then tell him to buzz off . |
i already told him my reasons . |
thats not why im here . |
like i said , i wanted to talk about last night . |
the ... werewolf . |
why is it after you ? |
she chewed on her lower lip . |
i cant really talk right now . |
dinner is at i know perfectly well when dinner is . |
well make it in time . |
if you want my help like you implied last night , then talk . |
while shed covered herself with the blanket , i could still see the outline of her nipples . |
god , how was i supposed to pay attention with her looking like that ? |
if you want , you can get dressed while we talk . |
mia gave me a dubious look , her lips curving in a frown . |
fine , well talk . |
my friend asked me to make a potion for her shop . |
apparently , the potion was for a werewolf who came in disguised as a man . |
i used an ingredient thats supposed to be poisonous to werewolves , not knowing that was what his sick friend might be . |
she leaned against the couch , as if she wasnt expecting us to be here for long . |
didnt you sense that the man was a werewolf ? |
why didnt he tell you ? |
none of this made any sense . |
while i knew she hadnt wanted to tell anyone about being a witch , this werewolf was a member of the supernatural community , too . |
surely the guy would have told her what he or his friend were , in order to get what they needed . |
no , i didnt know werewolves existed . |
i couldnt suppress my laugh , and she shot me a dirty look . |
i thought they were beasts of legend and folklore . |
there were vibes from the guy that caught me off guard , but without having ever met another werewolf , i didnt know thats what i was picking up . |
sighing , she sat on the couch , getting a little more comfortable . |
i wished hed told me . |
i hate to think that i unintentionally hurt someone . |
is there anything you can do to help ? |
i sat on the opposite side of the couch , not wanting to make her feel uncomfortable . |
she threw her head back , laughing rather hysterically . |
well , he certainly asked for it so nicely , didnt he ? |
the look she gave me was haunted . |
maybe he just wants to kill me . |
werewolves are known for their violent tendencies . |
this whole werewolf thing was new to me . |
