“You’re welcome,” he says, squeezing me tighter.
“We don’t have to do this,” Jeremy breaks in by saying.
“The danger could be gone Jer, if this works we will be free,” I say.
“Or we could be in more trouble than before. It’s a high risk, high reward situation and I don’t want to take a high risk with you.”
He’s so sweet even when he’s being stubborn. I know he only wants me safe but this could end safer than running and hiding. But he’s right, it could also end worse.
I don’t respond, I’m not sure what to say. I feel terrible that he’s so stressed about our safety all the time.
“Jer, I think we have to. One day, the hunters will catch up with us no matter how hard we work to stay hidden. If not them, it’ll be Ryan. We have a three thousand year old vampire after us. We need the community’s help if we want to stay safe,” Nic says honestly.
Now I know how Nic was convinced this is the best plan. If he didn’t think so then we wouldn’t be doing it. Jeremy must know that too.
“Okay,” Jeremy concedes, “but at the first sign of trouble we run.”
He doesn’t wait for a response, getting up and leaving the room.
I snuggle deeper into Nic and ask, “is he okay?”
“He will be,” Jay responds.
I hop up and follow Jeremy, wanting to comfort him. I don’t want him alone when he’s upset.
Nic let me go, so I’m assuming he thinks I’m doing the right thing. That gives me confidence.
I can hear Jeremy in his room, so I knock softly at the door. When I don’t get a response, I knock a little harder.
The door swings open hard, “Nic, I’m fine… oh.”
He stops when he notices it’s me by the door.
“Hi,” I say with a little wave.
“Aly, I just need a few minutes to calm down,” he confesses.
“Let me help,” I say.
I know the best way to help Jeremy calm down. I step forward and place a hand on his chest, slowly making my way down to the hem of his shirt. Grabbing the edge, I start to move it over his head.
Jeremy presses against me and lines every inch of his body up with mine.
“Strip.”
I do as commanded, taking all my clothing off until I’m standing naked before him.
He stares at every inch of me with a fire burning in his eyes.
He runs his hands down my body until he stops, cupping me.
“Your turn,” I demand.
He raises an eyebrow at me but complies, stripping his clothes off.
He comes back, pushing two fingers in me immediately, making me rock against him.
With a hand on my throat, he flips me around until my back is pressed up against his front.
