Beauty sighs keeping her eyes trained on the ground.
I don't really know how i got it but i got it the day my twin died. We were playing in this old abandoned barn everything went dark. When i woke up he was gone and my back was horribly burned.
God...I'm sorry...he said.
It's not a big deal i barely think about it....I told him.
I know it's not true.....he said. The pain of looking a brother is like looking a part of your soul. I look up at Alarik, catching something in his eyes something sad and distant.
Did he loose someone too? She tought.
We should go to bed. He told her. Taking her hand Alarik guides her over to the bed lowering her on the mattress then he pulls of his shirt and knuckles his pants, stripping down to his boxers. I want to look away but i can't. Every curve of his Herculean body catches the candlelight miles of smooth sloping sinew. Alarik turned noticing her gaze on him. Uh I'll just sleep on the couch....she said...
You'll do no such thing...he replied.
Alarik bends down over Beauty,laying her flat on her back. Hisbhuge hot body is just inches against hers. He blows the candles out above Beauty and rises to his feet.
You'll take the bed. I'll be sleeping over there...he said.
He sinks to the ground his back against the door.
I won't risk someone coming in when you are asleep especially Xander.....
So sleep isn't important to you....she asked.
What j need is for you to be safe...he replied. But you said it yourself. Xander won't look for us here. So there's no reason...
Alarik raises a brow..
I thought u didn't eant to share the bed with me....he said.
I didn't say that exactly...she said flushing.
He's taken so many blows for me. After everything asking him to sleep on the floor doesn t sound right.
Are you asking me to share the bed with you Beauty...he asked in a teasing tone.
I....she trailed still blushing.
Alarik stands up, his lean athletic body casting a long shadow as he takes a step the Beauty.
If that's what you want, i won't say no.he said. He steps closer. But I'll understand if you are still afraid of me.
Alarik I'm not scared of you....you can sleep in the bed.
Are you sure...he asked again.
Yes I'm sure....I gave a curt reply....
She pull the cover back for Alarik..he takes one last look at the door.
It will be fine and if I'm honest ...I feel much safer beside you.
Is that so...he asked with a smile at the corner of his lips.
You have saved my life more than once....
Alarik smiles ...the. he slips into the bedbeside Beauty. The hard angles of his body glinting in the candle light. His tigh brushes against hers and a jolt of electricity rockets through her body.
Sorry I didn't mean to touch you.....he said.
That just startle me....
