memory of what happened that night. He had told me he wasn’t proud about what he did. All that death. “And you watched me—”
“Save my life,” I said, interrupting. “That’s all that matters to me. To anyone. Those men were going to do something terrible to me, and to be fair, they did shoot you first.”
Aaron smiled. “Yeah… so, what do you want me to show you?”
“I don’t know. Anything. Turn into a wolf!”
“Now? Here?”
“Why? Can’t you?”
“No, I can, I just… it’s a little cramped.”
He can turn into a wolf. How awesome is that?
“Later, then,” I said. “We can go outside later. For now, tell me more. How is Jackal?”
“Jackal?”
“Your cousin, right? You told me about him on the phone.”
Aaron had met a bunch of family he didn’t even know about on his trip to Washington State. Turned out his dad wasn’t the only lycanthrope in the family. His great-great grandfather was a werewolf, and he had many—many—kids. Aaron’s dad was a werewolf, but so were a number of Aaron’s distant family.
“Jackal is a girl.”
“A girl?” I asked.
“Yeah… I thought you knew that.”
“No,” I said, folding my arms. “I always thought Jackal was a guy. You kept on telling me how you guys would beat each other up for hours to get tougher. I didn’t think that was the kind of thing a girl would do.”
Oh Gods. Beating each other up for hours. Sweaty, barely clothed, intimate . I felt like such an idiot!
“I’m sorry,” Aaron said, “I should have cleared it up.”
“No, it’s okay, I just… I didn’t ask.”
“Does it bother you?”
“No.”
“Good. It shouldn’t. You’re the only person I want, Amber. You need to believe me. Nothing happened between me and Jackal. I wasn’t lying when I said there had been nobody else since you.”
Meanwhile, I had been sleeping with Damien. Didn’t I just feel like a jack ass ?
“You’re right,” I said, “I’m really sorry.” I sat up and scooched over to him. “Let me make it up to you.”
Aaron smiled. “There’s nothing to make up,” he said.
I went in for his neck and kissed the space beneath his earlobe, drinking in his scent. He didn’t wear cologne, but something about the way he smelt was just… it drew me in. “Did you pass?” I asked.
“What?” Aaron said.
I continued to kiss him, hands now slipping under his shirt and into his chest—over the rigid surface of his abdomen. “Did you pass your father’s tests?”
“I did,” he said, “My father is proud of me.”
“Good,” I said. “Because I have a test for you too.”
“Oh?” Aaron arched his neck and I ran my tongue along his jugular.
“Mhm. I want you to make me scream tonight. Think you can do that?”
I was losing myself. With every touch, every breath, every taste, I was falling more and more under a strange, lust-inducing spell. He wasn’t even doing anything! My body was going crazy just by my touching him. My skin electrified, my heart thumping so hard I could feel it in my toes.
“I think I can do that,” he said.
I hopped off the couch and ran to the bedroom before he could get up, but I wasn’t waiting long. Aaron followed me in, slipping his shirt over his muscular body and tossing it on the ground before sliding onto the bed and arching over me. I couldn’t believe how big he had gotten, but I wasn’t about to question it.
No need to spoil a good thing with talk.
CHAPTER 9
Aaron didn’t hear me get up the next morning. I had prepared my bags the night before, so all I had to do was slip out of bed, get changed, tie my hair up and head on outside—a feat I managed in ten minutes flat. Then, after collecting the duffel bag and my backpack and setting them on the floor by the front door to the house, I approached Aaron’s sleeping body and sat down next to him on the bed.
“Aaron,” I said, kissing him lightly on the forehead.
His eyes sprang open, awake. I saw
