I decided to take my own shower, so I went into the bathroom and started the water. Once I got under the hot spray, I sighed, the steam rising around me. My core was throbbing, and my breasts felt tight. I couldn't help but imagine myself in the shower with him, his hands stroking my body, massaging and pulling at my breasts. His fingers sliding through my folds.
"Rune!" The voice sounded in my head and my lust filled daydreams faded like smoke. The voice didn't say anything else, but it was enough to make me finish my shower quickly. Ares was waiting for me on the couch with a huge pile of snacks on the table in front of him. There was also an oversized cup filled with blood.
"Is that going to help you at all?" I asked, gesturing to it.
He went stiff. "It will fill me up, but it probably won't help with my energy."
I opened my mouth to offer my vein to him again, but he shook his head before I could even get the words out.
"I took way too much yesterday. I could have killed you. I'll be fine. You just need to work on recovering. I'm so fucking sorry." He shook his head, his face distressed.
Surprising myself…and him, I slid onto the couch and straddled him, holding his gorgeous face between my palms. "I would do it for you a million times over," I whispered, unfamiliar emotions sliding through my chest.
Ares trembled under my touch. And then he closed his eyes as if he was pained.
"Thank you,” he whispered. There was a long pause, and suddenly he was grabbing me and pulling me against him. His lips crashed against mine, our tongues tangling as he licked and sucked at my mouth. His hands traveled up and down my waist and my back, and my hands moved to his shirt, pulling him closer towards me, because it didn't feel like I could ever get close enough. When we separated, we were both breathing heavy. My lips felt swollen and bruised, and everything in me wanted more.
He shook his head as if he was trying to shake off the stupor.
"Let's get you fed, and that movie going, sweetheart. When I finally take you, it's going to be when you’re one hundred percent.”
My chest and cheeks flushed as the mental imagery flooded my brain. And I realized…just how much I wanted that.
I snuggled into him as he turned onPretty Woman, an oldie but a goodie I thought, and we passed the day lazing about in each other's arms.
It was perfect.
CHAPTER 13
RUNE
The next week flew by. Ares made me take it easy for a few more days and insisted on taking care of my every need. I felt a bit spoiled…and cooped up by his imposed rest period.
And so was my wolf.
This was showcasing itself with the anxiety in my chest and the way the usually perfect eggs benedict in front of me currently tasted like ash.
“Is everything alright, Rune?” Marcia asked, and I tried to make my body language less ridiculous.
“Everything’s good.”
“But you haven’t eaten anything,” she pressed with a frown.
I could feel Ares’s frown as well, boring into the side of my head as he tried to read my mind.
"I'm not hungry," I groaned, sounding like a sullen child.
"What's wrong, baby?" Ares asked, his voice amused at my attitude because he seemed to find everything I did cute.
For some reason I turned to him and stuck my tongue at him petulantly…
My wolf whined inside me.
Suddenly it hit me. My wolf. She seemed like…she wanted to come out.
"Can we go to the forest today? With the memories I have, I don’t remember transforming into my wolf, but I think…she needs out." My gaze automatically went to Marcia to see if she was going to be weirded out by that, though her boss was already a vampire so a wolf shouldn't be that much of a stretch.
She didn't seem bothered at all by what I said…or shocked for that matter. Ares had probably caught everyone up on what I was…but it was still strange.
