I woke up to the sun shinning brightly in my room, groaning and turning around to face the other direction, but I ran right into a warm, hard wall. I froze in my place, when I felt something snake around me on my waist leaving that tingling sensation were it touched my skin. I jumped up automatically, with my eyes wide open and out of reach from the warm body. Standing next to my bed, I covered my mouth shocked as I looked down to see what, or more importantly who was in my bed.
Lorenzo was in my bed, the blankets barely covered his lower half and what I could see was bare skin. I knew he had a body, but I didn't know his body was this good, he wasn't a meat head but he was toned. His body was delicious to look at, and my fingers tingled to touch him, but I held myself back. My face flared up, and I could feel it as my eyes trailed up his body along the lines of his abs to his hard chest. I couldn't stop the shivers that started from my toes and ran up to my head just looking at him. Lorenzo looked peaceful like a child in my bed, his hair was a mess but It looked cute, as it stood out all over the place.
Lorenzo stirred, and moaned flipping over facing where I had been laying and his hands seemed to be searching for me. He found my pillow and hugged it close to him, and I giggled watching him. He was so adorable and innocent but how the hell did he get in my bed.
"Ella." He mumbled in his sleep, and it melted my heart. I sat back on my bed next to him. and put my hand on his face. He twitched as his face tensed, but he slowly started to relax as his eyes started to flutter open. I pulled my hand back as he sat up with the pillows still in his arms groggy. He swayed a little while he sat with his back against my head board and looked around my room, his eyes fell on me and he smiled. I smiled back and watched him come to...Goddess he was so cute.
"Hey." my voice was a whisper as I smiled back at him
'Look at him, he's so cute.'
"He just woke up."
'Lick his body, I want to taste him.'
I mentally gapped at my wolf's words. "Shut up, I'm not about to lick him." I shook my head and pushed her to the back.
"Hey beautiful." Lorenzo's voice was rough, and it was hot, I mean all men voices are hot when they are half asleep half awake. He laid back down slowly still looking at me as I smiled back watching him. He is mine, and that thought was slowly starting to sinking in.
He looked at me a little confused releasing the pillow he had been holding, and opened his arms out to me. I sat there for a few seconds taking him in before laying back down next to him resting my head on his arm. He was warm, but that was expected from us wolves. Lorenzo was strong and it gave me comfort, knowing he was mine and he would be able to protect me. Then I remembered what happened and how he ended up in my room, and in my bed.
\FLASHBACK/
I had spent all day with Lorenzo, getting to know him, understanding him better and him understanding me. He told me he loved me, and I told him I loved him. Actually I told him first and you know what, I do love him. I love him, and I always will love him, he is my mate after all. When we came back to the pack house he had kissed me on the porch before leaving me, and saying goodnight. He hadn't come in because he had to do patrol runs at night with the rest of the pack like always. And once he left I went straight to my room to sleep but once in bed I couldn't sleep as I tossed and turned for a few hours.
It was hot, then cold, the bed was to hard, then to soft, to lumpy, I just couldn't find my spot. At one point I threw all the blankets and pillows off the bed and just laid there facing up at the ceiling. Why wasn't I sleeping? I groaned thinking to myself.
Its because you want your mate. We both want him.
She was right, but I just wanted to sleep.
Getting out of bed and hopefully a cold glass of water would help.
Or better milk and cookies
I perked up at my wolfs words, but dragged myself out of bed wearing only a large shirt and boy shorts as I left my room and headed straight for the kitchen. Everyone was asleep, and I knew this because the pack house was quiet. I tip toed down the stairs to the kitchen, and hunted for some Oreo's.
I normally kept a stash under the sink so that no one would steal them -cough- Tanya. I opened up the sink cupboard and sure enough they were there waiting for me. Bending down and picking them up, I heard the front door open, and then thud close, soft foots steps could be heard entering the house. Closing the cupboard real quiet, I waited for whoever it was to pass.
Rain and ocean, the scent was sweet and comforting. My body tingled and I smiled, but someone else was with him, dirt and smoke, could it be Paul?
"Did you catch the scent on your run?" Paul's voice
"Yea, I told Alpha Hart, we'd set up people in that area, hopefully it shows up again and we can catch them." Lorenzo's voice sounded worried, the foot steps stopped right before entering the kitchen. But stood frozen clutching the bag of Oreo's and quietly tried grabbing a cup for milk. The lights weren't on but I knew they could still hear me and see if they walked into the kitchen.
"I'm going to head home and to bed." Lorenzo spoke again and cleared his throat.
"Same, night Laz." Paul's foot steps were light as he left back out the front door.
"Night Paul" Lorenzo said right after. Everything got quiet as I waited to see if anyone would walk in but I didn't hear anything. I continued fishing for a glass and grabbed the milk out of the fridge. Pouring my self a glass and putting back the milk, I grabbed my stuff and quietly walked back to my bedroom. At least that's what I thought, tiptoeing back out of the kitchen I never expected to feel hands wrap around my waist almost making me lose my cookies, and spill half my milk. I yelped surprised when the tingly feelings came back.
"Boo," a husky voice said in my ear. His warm breath tickled my ear and cheek. I pushed myself away from him frowning while Lorenzo smirked watching me.
"Damn it Enzo, you almost made me lose my cookies." I pouted at him and he chuckled. Milk droplets fell from my fingers, and I licked it up.
He took a step closer, circled his arms around me, while watching my lips as I licked up the milk on my fingers. "I'm sorry. If you lost your cookies, I would help you find them." He playfully teased winking at me, I sighed rolling my eyes at him.
Pushing him back I stepped out of his arms, he smelt like the woods, rain and ocean mixed together. If I didn't back away from him...who knows what I would do.
"I um...I'm eating Oreo's, do you want any?" I showed him my bag of cookies and he looked at them, then to me.
"Sure why not." He said shrugging, so we both went up stairs to my room. Lorenzo sat on the bean bag on floor in front of my little coffee table. I was going to sit on my bed but before I could be grabbed me and pulled me on top of him. I nestled into him as I placed the cookies on the coffee table, grabbing the remote I flipped the tv on, changed it to a random station. Looking back at Enzo I noticed his attention was on my neck.
He wants to claim us.
'I don't know if I'm ready.' He noticed I had caught him as he quickly looked away. I leaned forward and grabbed a few cookies, sitting back and poking his shoulder, He turned his head and I shoved a cookie in my mouth. He just looked down at me, an Oreo cookie in him mouth as he tried to smile around it.
"Why are you so happy?" I asked threw a mouth full of cookie.
"Because I'm with you." He wrapped his arms around me and held me tight as I laughed rolling my eyes at him and smiled.
An hour had pasted and we had finished about 10 cookies while watching tv. Neither one of us spoke the whole time after wards, just stole glances here and there. After the program had ended he kissed my head and stood up with me saying goodbye at my door. Lorenzo was leaving for the night because it was late and he still needed to run home. The thought of him leaving, made both myself and my wolf sad, but soon it wouldn't be like that. Once he was gone, I laid back in bed still not completely comfortable.
Just get up and see him, you should have gone home with him, to OUR home.
'I'm not going to do that.'
'And why not?'
I mentally frowned at my wolf. 'Because I'm not a whore and if Enzo wanted us, he should have stayed.'
Suddenly there was a soft knock on my door making me sit up, placing my back against the head board. The door opened slowly, and Lorenzo popped his head in. My heart raced seeing him, as I tried keeping my breathing steady. He wore nothing but a pare of shorts, as he walked in my room his eyes never leaving mine. Closing the door behind him and walking over to the bed, he just stood there. My hands itched wanting to run them up and down his body, wanting to touch him any way I could.
He placed his hands on my bed, and panther crawled over to me. He made me feel like prey, only once breaking eye contact, it was slightly intimidating but at the same time exciting. I shrunk back into the bed my head now flat with the pillows as he crawled on top of me. His hands were on either side of my face, keeping his weight supported by his hands. His eyes finally broke from mine and focused on my lips, the way he watched me made me feel things in my body I hadn't before. I shivered with want and need for him.
Slowly like he was unsure, he leaned down and gently pressed his lips to mine. It sent sparks through my body and I instantly wrapped my arms around his neck and brought him down on top of me. His chest pressed against me, as one hands slipped down my side to play with the hem of my shirt. I wanted him, and I could feel through the kisses he was giving me, he wanted me too. His lips were suddenly very eager against mine, kissing me with more passion. It left me breathless, and I had to pull out of the kiss to breath as he kissed down my neck.
A low moan escaped my lips making me arch my back as he licked the spot meant for him to claim me. I dug my nails into his back at the sudden sensation of pleasure that racked my body while he nibbled the claiming spot. My wolf purred inside me, she was loving the attention he was giving us, as she tried to push herself forward to take control.
But did I want him to claim me?
Yes please, let him.
The sudden realization of him being this close to me, licking my neck and the spot for the claiming, hit me. I wanted Lorenzo to claim me, but was it right now? No, not here, not with my pack members in the house. But I felt it once he canines ran across the skin on my shoulder. I suddenly pushed him back but he was much stronger then me, he froze for a second, as he took a deep breath. His body shook, while he inhaled deeply trying to calm himself, he slowly pulled back looking at me. His breathing was heavy and so was mine, as his eyes glowed brightly and I knew he was battling his wolf.
"Enzo, I...I can't not-" His face softened and he cut me off by placing one finger on my lips.
"Shhh." He cooed, and smiled loving me at me. "Its ok, I know, when your ready babe, I'll wait. I'll always wait for you ok."
Why was he so good to me?
He's our mate, he will always be good to us
"Thank you." I whispered back, I hid my face in his neck, nuzzling him before kissing his jaw then his lips. Lorenzo rolled so he was laying next to me and pulled me into his arms holing me close. He kissed the top of my head as he rubbed my back, he just held me as I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
\FLASHBACK END/
"Ella?" Lorenzo's voice broke my thought, as I looked back at him. He had the pillow propping his head up, watching me confused and concerned.
"Yes?" I asked confused, had he spoken to me?
"Are you hungry?"
As if I wasn't about to answer question quick enough my stomach answered for me with a loud growl, which made me giggle.
"Ill take that as a yes. Go get dressed I wanna take you somewhere." He smiled at me, leaning forward and giving me quick kiss on my forehead before he jumped out of my bed and walked over to the door.
I sat up watching him walk to my door. "Where are you going to take me?" I asked as he opened the door, and stopped just before taking a step out. He turned around to look at me and gave me his breath taking smirk.
"You'll see."
