Chapter 4 - Waking up to the Wolf

Lacey

I wake up feeling warmer than I'm used to. I try to roll over to get out of my bed but there is something preventing me from moving. I lock down and see a tan muscular arm wrapped around my waist. I furrow my brows confused on what is going on. I'm sure that I'm still in my room judging by the giant plushie I'm cuddling. I turn my head and see the last person that I want to wake up to: Wolf.

The memories of last night flood my brain and I remember practically begging him to sleep in my bed because I was scared. My face heats and I'm thankful that he is still asleep. I try to disentangle myself before he wakes up and sees me practically snuggling with him, but my movement rouses him. He pulls me against him, my back now pressing into his chest. Thank goodness he slept with his shirt on or I would be even more embarrassed.

"Five more minutes little mouse. I'm so comfy." Wolf grumbles sleepily.

"You promised you wouldn't touch me Wolf." I say but I don't move.

"I wasn't going to cuddle you, but you wouldn't stop whimpering in your sleep unless I was holding you. We both needed the rest." He says nuzzling his face into my neck. Little sparks dance along the skin that he is nuzzling and I take a deep breath to control my heart rate. Why does this man make me so nervous?

"Why are you so warm?" I whine.

"I run hot little mouse. If you're too hot, just take off the blanket." Wolf says squeezing me tighter against him.

I try squirming away from him to get some space between us but stop when I hear Wolf inhale quickly.

"Be careful. You're playing a dangerous game." He says and I feel his breath tickling my ear. I settle down and reach over to my bedside table to grab my phone. I look at the time and see it's 8:14. Thank goodness I don't have anything until 10:00.

"Let me up. I need to pee and brush my teeth." I lightly shove at Wolf and he lets me go. I go and take care of my business. After using the bathroom and brushing my teeth I brush my hair and do two French braids to get it out of my face. After exiting the bathroom I look over to see Wolf grabbing a tooth brush and a stack of clothes from I bag that he must have brought.

"Do you mind if I use your shower? I'll be quick." He asks looking over at me briefly.

"That's fine." I respond.

While Wolf is showering I get dressed in my black backless leotard and a pair of neutral tights. I put on a pair of sweat pants over it because it's cold outside and then I go about packing my bag so I can just relax for a bit after. I already have my shoes, extra hair things, and my bandaids packed. I refill my water and put it in the side mesh compartment and I pack a few snacks in the bag. By the time I'm done and back in my bed reading a book, Wolf comes out dressed and smelling faintly of my soap. I giggle.

"Why are you laughing little mouse?"

"You smell like a girl." I snort.

Wolf comes over to where I'm snuggled up and takes my book out of my hands. I reach up and try to snatch it back but he just holds it higher.

"Give it back Wolf. I was at a really good part." I stand on my bed and try to lunge at him.

"Oh I'm sure. Let me see what dirty things you're reading." Wolf says and his eyes begin scanning the page. "Oh my little mouse. Are these the things you want me to do to you."

I feel my face get red from anger and embarrassment and I I try to grab to book from him again. "No dammit. Just give me the book back. I don't want you touching me at all." I say.

Wolf looks at me and just winks. He hands my book back and I finally sit back down so I can read some more. Instead of leaving like I expected, Wolf sits down of the other side of my bed and just stares at me.

"Didn't your mother ever tell you staring was rude." I snap looking up at him.

"It's not my fault you look so beautiful. I want to eat you up." Wolf says his eyes intensely looking me up and down.

"Is that why you call me little mouse? I'm just prey." I ask.

"I wish. I would love to chase you and hunt you down." He says scooting closer but still not touching me.

"Yeah you love the chase don't you Wolf?As soon as you have me you'll just discard me. No thanks." I snark.

"You not that easily forgettable darling. No if and when I have you, I won't be discarding you." Wolf says his eyes full of promise.

"Mhmm. You tell that to all the girls don't you." I say. "Anyway we have to head out soon Wolf. Do you have what you need for class?" I roll out of bed and slip on my converse. I grab my bag and walk to the door.

"Yeah it's in my bag. Come on little mouse." Wolf opens the door and we head out.
