TWENTY-ONE
We spentthe entirety of the next day studying and exchanging steamy looks every chance we got. Whatever shame I’d felt about wanting him seemed to have vanished entirely.
Breakfast somehow turned into sex on the kitchen table (which I definitely cleaned afterward), lunch turned into couch sex, and dinner turned into actual, honest-to-goodness floor sex.
I’d never wanted to make love on the floor, but damn.
It had its perks.
Dessert turned into a game of eating off of each other’s bodies, and I’m sure you can imagine how that ended.
When we drove back to my dorm the next morning, everything seemed… good.
Really good.
But then we went to my first class.
It was so damn tense. Whether or not anyone was actually staring at Ford, I didn’t know. But I sure felt like every other woman in the room was staring at him, and it messed with me.
A lot.
My wolf made herself known multiple times throughout the day, but never made an appearance. I was insanely uncomfortable and on-edge, waiting for her to take over and attack the first chick she looked at, but she never did.
By the time we got back to Ford’s car after my last class, I jumped him much like I had in my room that first day we met, needing to blow off some steam pronto.
We drove back to the dorm when I was slightly calmer, the car smelling like both of us. His fingers were wrapped securely around my upper thigh, and I clung to his arm, my anxiety strong despite the utter bliss he’d made me feel minutes earlier.
“How am I going to do this for months, Ford?” I whispered, as he parked the car.
“I’ll be here the whole time,” he murmured, plucking me off the seat and setting me on his lap. I hugged him fiercely, my body shaking a bit.
“She’s going to kill someone.”
“She won’t. I’ll make sure of it.”
“She kept trying to come out and then stopping at the last minute, right before my body changed. I swear, she’s going to take over and eat someone just for looking at you.”
His arms tightened around me. “If she takes over, I’ll get you out of there before she can hurt anyone.”
“Teagan attacked some girl on campus though, didn’t she?” I asked, my voice shaking a bit. “Isn’t that why the video was made in the first place?” We’d talked about it at the pack dinner, though Tea hadn’t given me any specifics.
“Yeah. But you know Teagan; she was constantly fighting her wolf. If you listen to yours, she won’t have to do anything like that,” he assured me.
“How do I listen to her?”
“She was trying to tell you that she was uncomfortable, right? That’s why she kept trying to get out. So tomorrow we’ll sit in the very back, where there won’t be so many eyes on us.” His arms remained securely around me, and we were still sitting in his car. “Letting her out more can help, too. The wolves don’t seem to like being cooped up too long.”
I couldn’t blame them for that. I would hate being cooped up like that too.
And… well, sitting in the back was a good idea. Even if it didn’t solve the problem completely, it could make the classes bearable.
“We’ll have to get there earlier,” I said.
“It’ll save you studying time though, since you’ll be able to focus better.”
That was a good point.
I sighed, and nodded against his neck. “That’s a good idea. Thanks, Ford.”
