Chapter 62: Chapter 62
I got up and headed to the shower, surprisingly turning on the cold water to soother me. I was going to test my bullets today, just to make sure they’re working properly. Each new bullet I make has to be tested.
I skipped breakfast and headed straight to the backyard, my gun in hand.
I made sure no one was there before aiming at a far away tree. I ran after the first shot to the tree and inspected it, a smile on my face.
"Clean shot" I remarked "Perfect"
"You know breakfast is the most important meal of the day" I heard Ethan’s voice from behind me and turned to see him walking towards me. I had to say he looked extra sexy today, the shirt he was wearing fit him perfectly and showed off his abs and arms. I couldn’t help but imagine those arms holding me, running down my sides and---wait WHAT?! What the hell was I thinking? "I brought you this"
For the first time I noticed the blueberry muffin in his hand and I took it with shaky fingers.
"Uh Thank-" I stopped myself and cleared my throat, surprised at the lust in my voice "thanks"
"Something wrong?" he asked and the sound of his voice made me shiver, the arousal was slowly taking over the ache I felt
"N-no" I stuttered and looked at his face, I had a strong urge to run my hands all over his face, arms, through his hair. God damn it what was up with me "I-I think I should go"
Ethan stepped in front of me "What’s wrong Lily?"
I couldn’t help but take a step closer to him, my breathing ragged. I watched as he gulped, noticing my dark eyes. I really don’t know what was going on with me, my body was burning so bad it hurt.
"Lily?" And that did it. The sound of my name from him made me close the distance between us and pressing my body to his. I went to his earlobe, nipping it and planting kisses trailing down to his neck. Ethan’s arms wrapped around me tightly. "Lily" he repeated huskily
"Ethan" I breathed and he growled, his grip tightening, as he grabbed my hair roughly, but not enough to hurt, and tilting my head upwards as he started sucking and kissing along my neck, teasing me by getting close to my mark and then completely avoiding it. I moaned and hugged him to me, urging him to continue. "Pl-please" I couldn’t believe the words came out of my mouth but they actually worked as Ethan started kissing and sucking on my mark. My breathing hitched and my legs felt weak as he supported me.
I didn’t know why I was acting that way, turned on so much by Ethan it was completely weird, it was like I was going through--
"Oh crap" I said coming to my senses and stepping away from Ethan who looked at me hungrily "OH CRAP"
I ran to my room as fast as I can and closed the door, how the hell could I have not noticed? I guess I didn’t expect it. Females usually have heat after a month or so from the marking but alpha mates get it sooner. I groaned as I buried my head in my pillow, I couldn’t believe I just did that.
"Lily? Lily! I know you’re in here" I heard Ethan say "Look what happened out there?"
"Nothing" I said too humiliated to tell him I’m in heat "Just go away Ethan" I could already feel my body reacting to the distance between me and my mate and I had to control myself so I wouldn’t go out there and jump him "Just please go away"
Ethan stayed quiet for a while before he sighed "Fine but I’ll be coming back later"
I didn’t answer and heard his footsteps on the stairs. I kept shifting on the bed, trying to sleep but I couldn’t, my wolf was trying to take over so our mate could help us get over the heat and that was not something I was ready to do.
I could feel myself sweating and got up and changed into a tank top and shorts trying to cool off. I had a feeling this was going to be a long day.
Ethan’s P.O.V.
"She’s hasn’t come out for a while" I said as I sat on the couch in the living room "I really don’t know what’s wrong"
"That’s weird, Lily hates sitting in her room for too long" Xavier answered "Maybe I should go check on her"
I nodded and walked with him upstairs to Lily’s door, Xavier knocked and tried to open it but found it locked.
"Lily?" he called and was answered with a grunt "Can you come out"
"No" Lily’s voice was strained, tired "I’m just going to stay in my room today"
"What?!" I said shocked "What about our date?" Xavier looked surprised, huh I guess he didn’t know about our date.
"Not today Ethan" Lily answered "please"
"Give me a fucking reason Lily" I hissed maybe too angrily but I was really excited that she gave me another chance, what was going on?
Lily was silent for a while before she mumbled something I couldn’t get.
"What?!" I said and I heard her groan
"I’m in heat" she said so low I almost didn’t hear, everyone was silent and then I chuckled. I heard a thump in her room and her muttering ’asshole’
"I’m sorry I just totally forgot about that" I said and she groaned.
"So did I"
I stayed silent for a while "let me in Lily"
"What?! No"
Xavier glared at me and I knew what he was thinking so I just shook my head to let him know i wasn’t planning on sleeping with her.
"please"
"NO"
