"Alright, it's a pajama party in my bed then. I promise I'll be a good boy. Anyway, you can burn my ass if I don't, right?"
He said that with a smile, I can't help but chuckle and nod too. True, there's always the bad witch option, although I'd like to spare him that. He probably doesn't heal from burns as fast as I do... I get a bit of my confidence back, seeing that he's back to his playful self again, and this time, I'm the one to kiss him back, making this a bit longer and enjoyable. I hear him chuckle against my lips, and his fingers get to my tube top... I push him with a frown.
"Hey!"
"Sorry, Mara, but you really shouldn’t play with fire if you can't handle the heat..."
The red gets to my cheeks super fast, and I push him away again, a bit annoyed that he's making fun of me. He's laughing while I jump down from the kitchen counter.
"I'm going to take a shower now if you're done teasing me..."
"Second door on your left, tiger."
"Tiger?"
He shrugs.
"I don't know, that came up first."
Well... I don't hate it. Although I'm still a bit mad, I give him another peck on the lips, just to have the last one, and run off to his bathroom. It's a nice bathroom... and I'm in a hurry to close the door behind me. Moon Goddess, what's going on with me? The mirror takes up half of the wall, and I see my reflection, all flustered and a bit out of breath. Is it still me, acting boldly like this? I touch my cheeks, they feel hotter than ever. I'm going a bit crazy, aren't I? Is it the bond thing making me like this, or just half-naked Liam playing on my twenty-year-old hormones? I need a cold shower...
I leave my clothes on the floor and hop in the shower. I'm dirty as hell, now that I think about it. Sweat, mud, plus the smell of gasoline and cheeseburger... How the hell does he feel like kissing me? I don't go easy on the shampoo and soap, but damn, it feels so good to take a cold shower... I think my temperature is crazier than usual because of that idiot. No matter what, I can't calm down. Easy, Mara. But still, I'm taking a shower at Liam Black's place! Moreover, about to sleep with him as well. How the hell did I even get here...?
I step out of the shower, only to realize I have nothing to change into. A bit embarrassing... I grab the largest towel I can find, noticing it smells like him... not that it bothers me. Quickly putting just my panties back on, I wrap myself in the towel, take a deep breath, and leave the bathroom, trying to not look like I'm panicking about walking around half-naked...
The main room is empty, and our cups are gone from the kitchen counter too. I look around. This place is big, but there aren't that many rooms, actually. I finally find him in the master bedroom, looking in his wardrobe. And he's still half-naked, of course. Is that a werewolf thing? I barely step inside before I have to open my arms to receive some clothes.
"Here."
I look at what he just threw at me, and frown. The top is a simple short-sleeved shirt, but he also gave me a large sweater, and the dark pants look like some huge sweatpants.
"I'm going to be too hot in this," I shake my head.
"Maybe, but if you don't put those on, I'm probably going to be the one who is too hot..." he sighs.
His eyes are on me, and go down to check out my exposed legs, then back up again to my cleavage. Alright, the towel is definitely still too freaking short on both ends. I gulp. Okay, I guess that means I'd better get dressed quickly now before the beast takes over...
I let out a long sigh. It's only been a couple of minutes since I put on the oversized gym clothes or whatever this is, and I'm too hot already. I shake my head.
"This is ridiculous."
"Agreed," he mutters, checking me out from head to toe. "How is it that this looks cute on you?"
I roll my eyes, but I know he's joking a bit. I walk over to push him, a bit annoyed, and he plays back, pushing me so I fall on his bed.
"Good girl," he says, pointing a finger at me. "Stay."
"Seriously?" I raise an eyebrow.
He laughs.
"Don't worry, I'll take a shower, and turn the heat down so you don't get sick or whatever."
"Fine... Can I borrow your phone? I just want to text Kelsi."
"Oh, you can take this one."
He throws the latest smartphone at me. Seriously? He's got such a good phone and he just leaves it in a drawer in an apartment he barely uses? Liam quickly leaves the room, but I don't even have to ask for his password, there isn't one. This thing looks brand new, he really mustn't use it often... I guess their whole mind-linking thing is much simpler to use from one wolf to another, but still. Thankfully, Kelsi's number is super easy to remember... I quickly text her about sleeping elsewhere, that I'm fine, but I don't give any more details. For all I know, my sister could very well be paying for her phone too...
