"Mara?" Liam calls me.
"Oh, sorry, I got lost in my thoughts... No, don't worry, probably no blood needed as it's already on my body. I guess I'll find out later. I'm pretty sure it just needs me to be unconscious or sleeping."
He stays quiet for a little while, then turns to me. What's that expression of his? He looks a bit flustered, and approaches me with a flirtatious smile.
"Does that mean you... want to go straight to sleep when we get... back?"
I want to bite my thumb, but I'll settle for my lower lip. Gosh... Liam Black is afraid I'll ditch him for some witchcraft? Or is he just trying to be playful now? Hm... this is too tempting, isn't it? I sigh.
"Well, you know, it's important to find out what this spell is about, so–"
"Mara!"
His offended expression, oh Moon Goddess, he's too cute! I can't take it anymore and laugh. He frowns.
"You're having fun, aren't you?"
"Terribly," I admit.
He seems a bit offended by my childishness, and I put my arms around him, a bit amused. However, we are alone in the kitchen, and seeing Liam act all possessive over me... it's just too sexy. I can't resist it. I put a quick kiss on his lips, but he's pouting and doesn't respond, just staring at me with an accusatory look. Damn, I think pouting Liam might be cuter than smiling Liam. What do I do now? I tilt my head, unable to hide that smile...
"Don't worry," I chuckle, "I probably don't need to go to bed right away..."
"Good," he retorts, still a bit sulky, "because I'm not letting you. I don't care about all that witchy stuff anymore, I just want you all to myself for a little while."
"I agree," I smile.
He nods, finally satisfied, and this time, comes to put a deeper kiss on my lips. I totally give in, of course. This has become so natural between us, yet I still always feel a bit shy... I wrap my arms around his neck, all possessive. I love those kisses, Moon Goddess. I feel like we've always been together, this is just so natural between us. I'm happy. My wolf is freaking delighted and totally enjoying this too.... Our lips get more playful and more demanding too. I love this. I hear him chuckle as we keep going like teenagers caught in a fiery love.
"You two..."
We freeze, and turn our heads to find Selena standing there with a raised eyebrow and two empty bottles. She sighs.
"If you were looking for some private time, you could have just said you wanted to leave instead of making out in the kitchen..."
Liam and I exchange a look, both embarrassed.
"Sorry..." I mutter.
Despite his red ears, Liam grabs my hand and guides me outside, the two of us basically with our tail between our legs as we walk by Selena's amused eyes...
I'm a bit ashamed, but I can't help but laugh when we get out of there, and Liam puts a kiss on my temple.
"Shall we leave?" he suggests.
"Did you want dessert?"
"Not really."
"Alright, let's go, then," I nod.
We quickly make our way back to the garden to say our goodbyes. I think no one is blind but Nora wishes us good night, with Ben and Kelsi announcing they will be going back to the apartment. To my surprise, Damian Black tells us to be careful on our way back which seems a bit... fatherly for him to say. I'm tempted to think this is his way to say welcome to the family...?
The four of us leave the house, Ben and Kelsi hand in hand, while Liam has his arm around my shoulders.
"Alright, I guess we will see you guys tomorrow?" asks Ben with a wink.
"First thing in the morning," I chuckle, not so embarrassed. "Liam has nothing to eat at his place. Expect us for breakfast."
