I wrapped my arms around her , my hands roaming her back .
The feel of her skin through the thin lace of her top sent sparks running through me , fuck she felt s o good .
I throbbed against her , biting back a growl of approval as she leant into me , her fingers grazing the back of my neck .
I nuzzled my nose against her neck , her fresh floral scent clouding my senses as she sighed softly , her lips grazing my earlobe .
My eyes flashed and the urge to kiss her grew stronger , but I couldn’t … ” Liam … ” She moaned breathlessly , the tantalising scent of her arousal seeping into the air .
Fuck … I squeezed her ass , kissing her neck sensually .
The moment my lips trailed along her collar bones , she whimpered loudly , sighing in pure bliss the moment my lips touched her mark .
Extra sensitive .
I’ll change it .
One day I’ll make the
memory less painful … somehow .
I wouldn’t last long enough .
The negative dark thoughts came to the forefront of my mind and the doubts grew as the darkness tried to push forward .
Not this time .
I kissed her harder , sucking slightly on her slender neck , guilt wracking me at what I had done .
I had no right to ” Hey … ” She pulled back suddenly , cupping my face as I looked away from her .
” I’m fine .
” I said , unable to look her in the eye .
” You’re not … ” She said softly , reaching u p she placed a soft kiss on the corner of m y lips .
Our eyes met , before my gaze fell to her lips .
This pull … I was torn .
Torn by the animalistic side that wanted to consume her completely , to devour her and fuck her senseless , to the other side that felt guilt for what I had put her through .
Just then , my phone rang .
I was pulled from my thoughts as I slid it out of my pocket .
” Shit , it’s Dad … ” ” You’re meant to be under house arrest .
” She whispered , her gorgeous eyes widening as I answered the call .
” Yeah ? “” You’re meant to be home , Liam .
” Dad’s voice came .
Before I could reply , Raven took the phone from me
“ I asked him to stay … ” She said , her cheeks were burning and I fucking swear i t felt like we were kids or something .
I guess it is my own fucking fault .
I heard Dad sigh .
” Raven , I understand you’re mates , but I can’t risk him losing control .
Just come stay here with him .
” ” We’ll be ok .
Uncle , trust me .
” Raven said , despite her blush deepening at Dad’s unbothered tone as he invited her to stay .
” No Raven , rules are rules .
Either you both get the hell over here or Liam can come back , alone .
I am not going to change my mind on that .
” Raven pouted .
” Ok just for today … I’m so tired .
” She pleaded , and I raised an eyebrow .
She didn’t seem tired a few moments ago .
I smirked at that , pulling her close by her hot – as – hell hips .
Goddess , I love her body ” Raven .
” Dad growled .
” Uncle please ! Pretty please ….
” ” Ok fine , first thing in the morning I want him back here .
That’s an order .
” Dad’s voice was firm , but Raven being Raven , simply smiled and nodded , totally un phased .
She did know Dad couldn’t see her nod , right ? She hung up and frowned at me .
” You know , this is your fault ! ” ” Yeah , I know .
” Her frown vanished and she looked at me apologetically .
” I didn’t mean I cut her off , placing a finger on her lips .
” I know … ” I said , giving her a small smile .
She looked up at me , wrapping her fingers around my wrist and kissing my fingertip .
” Let’s get some rest .
Now I feel like Uncle El’s eyes are watching us .
” She grumbled .
” He ain’t no fucking angel .
” ” I know ! I’ve heard the stories !
” She said , taking her heels off .
My eyes fell on her ass .
I looked away smoothly , trying to ignore the hard – on in my jeans .
I removed my own boots and got into bed .
I wasn’t going to take my shirt off , not wanting her to see my back .
Although shifting seemed to have helped the healing , that or the darkness … I wasn’t sure .
I never thought she’d trust me to be anywhere alone around her anymore , not after what I had fucking done , but she did .
The mate bond calmed the growing storm inside of me but I knew my time was running out .
There wasn’t much left until the blood moon and with every passing day , I felt that darkness pushing to the surface , stronger and more powerful .
One I would do my best not to let take over .
It was hard because , although I was trying , it was consuming me completely .
Earlier , when I wanted to rip Owen apart , I had felt my wolf stir and decided to shift .
It did help , that and touching Raven now that I had strengthened the bond but I didn’t want to tell her that she helped because her tolerating me to this extent was enough .
After what I did , she should have fucking put a restraining order on me .
I wasn’t going to abuse that .
Dad had wanted me to stay away from her , but I know he gets that we just can’t stay away from one another .
She was the very oxygen I needed .
I didn’t blame him though , not after I had hurt her and had put him through a lot , Him and Mom .
Even if it was the last thing I did , I would try to fix all this crap , or at least make it less painful for them all .
She was snuggled into my arms now and had fallen asleep pretty fast .
All night I didn’t want to sleep , I actually wasn’t able to when I had a fucking hard on from just looking at her .
