It was a week since we had our first kiss, things had been a little awkward, we were trying not to talk about it, but I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss, amber and I hadn't seen each other since that night, she had gotten control of her wolf, she was used to the pain of the transformation.
Things had been quiet since nick's attack, I knew my father was planning something, I could feel it, the next time nick and I would meet, one of us would have to kill each other, nick managed to escape the last time, but I wasn't planning to let him escape the next time.
My father's influenced kept growing as more of the packs were submitting to him out of fear, I knew if he found out about amber he would come for her, she was the only one strong enough to defeat him, so I needed to protect her and keep her away from nick and my dad.
This weekend she was going to Lake Tahoe to visit her parents, and I decided to go with her, it was safer for the pack to stick together, especially now so I asked Stephen and the others to find out what my dad and nick was up to and I decided to go with amber to keep an eye on her, she hasn't seen her parents since the fall.
The Edgewood's were a rich family from California, her dad had a cruise ship, he was a manager at a big firm in new York, her mom was a yoga instructor, she was a total drama queen, she was excited when amber told her she's coming home with some friends, she hardly take her friend's home, because her dad wasn't happy she decided to study history in college, he wanted her to read economics and take a place in the big firm, "the family business"
It was a long ride to Lake Tahoe, she slept halfway through the journey, we still couldn't talk about the kiss, and she was so peaceful when she slept, I couldn't get my eyes off her, I kept cutting glances at her while driving.
Hearing the peaceful beating of her heart, I was falling in love with her, but I didn't know yet, I could still remember the times Aurelia and I travelled to all the places we wanted to; she was an explorer, and she loved visiting places.
One time we went to the Eiffel tower in Paris, I remember we made love under the open sky beneath the tower.
She used to say the stars were a symbol of our fate, each star represents something in a part of our future, I still miss her so much after all these years.
As we arrived at the Edge wood's, Mrs. Edge wood was excited to see her daughter, it has been quite a while, and the Edge woods had a big house, there were lots of artifact used as aesthetic designs, Mr. Edge wood must be quite a collector.
As amber's mom gave us a tour round the house, I could feel her excitement, she was happy to have a new face in the house, I was quite shy honestly
"Your mom seems happy" I said quietly with a smile as I walked beside her
She smiled
"She gets excited when I bring friends over"
"What about your dad?"
I noticed the change on her face, she and dad definitely weren't in good terms
"Dad is probably somewhere around; he loves taking sword fighting lessons with his master Yoshiro"
Wow! Her dad must be scary, as we kept walking someone walked out from one of the rooms, she was shocked to see amber, she was looking kind of pale and skinny, she had an angel tattoo at the side of her left hand, she was wearing a dark singlet, so her shoulders and hands were exposed, she was definitely the wild child,
She must be amber's little sis, from the resemblance it's obvious, as amber noticed her, she rushes to her
"Hey rose"
She was excited to see her as she hugged her really tight; they must be really close, I could smell the weed coming from her breath, she was definitely high, who would have thought.
As rose noticed me, she turned to me
"Who's this cutie sis?"
She reached out her hands to shake me,
"This is Damien, he's my history professor"
"Wow, you are fucking your history professor, damn girl" she had an excited laugh on her face
She's totally crazy, but I like her, amber was shy, I saw her face blush, did she wanted to fuck me?
I definitely wanted to fuck her; I have been having dreams of sex with her since the kiss
"Shut up rose, we are just friends, Professor Damien has been helping me with some stuffs at school"
The statement "just friends" sounded unacceptable in my ears, I didn't think amber and I were still just friends, we had that kiss and I knew she felt the same way I do, but we were just friends, we haven't even gone on a date, maybe this weekend was an opportunity to know if she really feel the same way like I did.
Well, she couldn't fool rose, she definitely knew something was up
"Pleasure to meet you professor just friends" she shook my hands with a mocking look and a smile.
Mrs. Edge wood invited me for dinner, we gathered at the table, there were different types of food, and it looked like a feast,
It was awkward at the table, nobody was speaking, and I could feel Mr. Edge wood staring at me
"So huh sweetheart how's college?" said reluctantly
Mr. Edge wood finally broke the silence, but it was obvious he actually didn't care.
"Oh cut the crap dad, we both know you don't care" Rose cut in with a disrespectful tone
"Come on rose that is no way to talk to your father in front of the guest"
"Its fine rose, college is fine dad, my friends have been helping me" she faked a smile
Mr. Edge wood seemed like a very strict man, but he wasn't half as intimidating as my dad
"You have a lovely home Mr. Edge wood" I said with a short smile
"And the food is lovely ma" eating more from my plate
Mr. Edge wood was getting suspicious with his question; I could feel he didn't trust me, the glances he was giving at me
"So how did you meet my daughter professor, do you usually visit all your students in their houses?"
It was a tricky question,
I knew he was going to ask this and there was no way telling the truth will make any sense to amber's parents, their daughter is now a werewolf and a member of my pack,
"Well sir, amber saved my life, I lost my wife a couple years back, her name was Aurelia, she was the only woman I ever truly loved, after her death I lost a part of myself, until I met your daughter, she brings out the best part of me, she makes me feel invincible, and I just want you to know sir, no matter what I am going to protect her"
The room was silent, I could see amber's mom smiling, now I think she likes me.
After dinner I was in my room, the room was nice; a guy must have lived in this room because there were posters of great basketball players and sport, must have been someone who's an athlete.
I heard a knock
"Come in"
It was Rose, why was she in my room? I was wearing a shirt; I had just finished a bath
"Hey, thanks for dinner"
I said with a smile
"Well that was all mom, it's not every day amber comes home with a hot professor"
She was definitely hitting on me, her expression with her face and her lips was a give off
She was hot too, but definitely not as hot as amber
"What about Dave?"
Rose scoffed, "oh that douche bag, mom never met Dave, and Amber only brings a guy she likes home, which means she must really like you prof,"
Hearing that made me feel better, I was crazy about her
"So, what's the deal with this room, who lived here?"
Suddenly she had a serious sad look on her face
"It was my brother, drew, he died"
What! Amber had a brother.
"What happened" it was clearly sad
We both sat down
"Amber and drew where twin, they were best friends, did everything together, on their eighteenth birthday, dad and mom were away for work, so they decided to throw a party, I was fifteen then, they invited some of their friends in another life, amber was a party girl, drugs, boys, you name it"
She used to be a bad girl too, maybe that's why I am so drawn to her, I still sense that side of her
"So, at the party, amber got so high on drugs and she O'D, we were so worried she was going to die, even though drew was drunk, he tried to take her to the hospital, but the car crashed into the lake.
Amber got out safe, no one knew how she survived, but drew couldn't make it, the cops searched for his body, after a few days they found him dead by the river,
My parents were so angry, dad blamed her for Drew's death, I think he still does
After that, amber blamed herself for everything, she tried to kill herself a few times, but someone was always there to stop her, my parents took her to rehab, lots of therapy.
After high school she went off to college, sometimes in her sleep she still calls out drew, I think the nightmares still hunt her
But for the first time in a while, I saw her happy today and that was because of you.
I think you make her happy again
Thank you, prof,"
She gave me a light punch on my shoulders
After the little conversation with rose, it felt like I finally understand the pain amber had gone through,
She's just like me, carrying that same burden of losing someone and blaming yourself for it.
I heard another knock in my door, it was amber, speaking of the devil, she had that shy look on her face, she was looking so sexy in her night dress
The lingerie exposed her upper body, I could see her nipples pointing out from the dress, I just wanted to hold her and feel her
"Hey, sorry about my dad earlier"
We sat on the bed
"It's cool, have had my shares of dads too"
We both laughed
"Rose told me about drew, why didn't you tell me?"
"It's just I made so many mistakes in my life, and talking about that part of my life reminds me of those mistakes and my dad has blamed me for Drew's death ever since, and even though my mom smile and pretend everything is fine, I know she still blames me, but tonight what you said to my dad, did you mean it?"
She drew closer to me
"Amber, I meant every word, we all make mistakes, when Aurelia died, I blamed myself for her death too, even though I blamed my parents, but it was my fault too, I shouldn't have let my dad talked me into changing her, I should have fought harder to protect her, am going to protect you amber, I promise"
She placed her hands on my face staring right into my eyes
"I Know Damien, I trust you"
She kissed me, she didn't stop
I grabbed her slowly and kept kissing all over her body
"Make love to me Damien"
She quietly whispered into my ears
I quickly grabbed her from her waist and placed her on the bed, I kept kissing her, and her lips were so soft
She moan out quietly
I took her clothes off
Kissed all over her body, from her neck down to her boobs, I sucked both of her tits, they were so warm and tasty, and I could feel her hands pushing my head down to suck more
"Oh that right there"
"That feels good"
I kissed further down to her flat tummy and then I took her pants off and slowly dip my mouth down into her pussy
She gave out a loud moan, grabbing my hair so tight
"I want you inside of me Damien" she said softly
I took my clothes and my pants off and made love to her.
The following day amber parents took us to the beach on a cruise ship, visited a lot of fun places and amber and I was closer than ever, we couldn't get our hands off each other, for a long time I wasn't thinking about Aurelia, I was having the best time of my life, and she was the reason. But things were about to change as I got an emergency call from Stephen, they had found something, and I needed to get back to bare manor.
As amber and I arrived at bare manor, there she was standing in front of me, looking almost the same since I last saw her
They had found her; my mom and she stood there looking so scared like I had never seen before
"Hello Michael"
