He laughed and nodded, and then with one final kiss on my forehead, he pulled me by the hand around the car and into his apartment. We ran up the stairs and he unlocked the door, and motioned down the hall towards the bathroom. I nodded as I really knew the way. I’ve been there once before,afterall.

He settled into the living room as I went to clean myself up. I poured water on my face and swished some mouthwash three separate times until I was confident that the my mouth was clean andfresh.

I reached my hand down my shirt to adjust my breasts in my bra, emphasizing my cleavage as much as I could. I then stepped back and admired myself in the mirror and shrugged. It was as good as it was goingtoget.

I ran my hands through my silky brown hair, and realized just how happy I was that I looked more like myself now than I had in the past few months. I’m glad James wasn’t turned off by the new look, and I was excited for him to explore the new me. Or, the old me,really.

I went to join him in the living room but he had disappeared. I looked around the room and crossed my arms. “Where yougettoo?”

I heard a growl from down the hallway and I followed the noise. I pressed my ear up against his bedroom door and I heard him on the other side. I knocked quietly and waited for a response, and when an even louder growl omitted from the other side, I slowly opened the door to peek through. He was lying on the bed, his head propped up on the headboard, biting his lip with anticipation. I raised my eyebrow at him and leaned against the door frame. “Oh, so you think that’s where it’s going to go, hey?” Of course, that was where it was going to go, but it was fun to tease him,anyway.

He grinned mischievously but cocked his eyebrow. “Wishful thinking, perhaps.” He beckoned me forward and I couldn’tresist.

I closed the door behind me, kicked off my shoes, and ran forward and jumped on him on the bed. The mattress sprung and it took a moment to orient myself, but I crawled across the bed on top of him and laid down flat as our bodies pressed up against each other. I could feel the growling in his chest. His smile was intoxicating as his eyes sparkled, and I wanted nothing more than to rip the clothes off of hisfirmbody.

“The other night was such a whirlwind,” he said as he ran his fingers through my hair. “I want to savor you tonight, slowly, and take everything in. I want to explore every inch of your body, and get to know you inside out.” His fingers tightened in my hair as he pulled my head forward, and he kissed me on the nose. It was such a gentle and soft gesture, but I couldn’t help but moan. I wanted more than just a kiss onthenose.

I pressed myself forward and gyrated my hips into his own, and I heard him moan back. He ran his hands down through my hair and over my face, along my jaw and tilted my chin up to kiss me on the lips. His mouth was warm and he tasted sweet, and I pressed my face into his as I plunged my tongue into his mouth, and teased him with the tip of my tongue. He kissed me back fiercely and wrapped his arms tight around me. He rolled us over so he pinned me on the bed, and he pulled my hands up to either side of my head, locking me down in anironcladgrip.

His body was hot and I could feel his need between his legs pressing against me. I writhed under his body as he kissed me passionately. His tongue plunged deeper in my mouth and I needed to devour him. I needed his entire body, completely. I wanted to feel his naked body against mine and take him inside me like we had the other night. The physical need in my body built until I couldn’t handle it anymore. I pulled my mouth away from his and looked up at himdesperately.

“I need you,” I said. “Right now. I reallyneedyou.”

“Shh,” he responded. He removed one of his hands and pressed his fingertip against my lip. “I don’t want to rush this. I want this to beperfect.”

I moaned, but nodded reluctantly. My body ached, and I needed him to fuck me. I didn’t know what he had planned, but I had a feeling it was going to drive me absolutelycrazy.

He ran his hands over my eyes, and I closed them. I then felt him move on top of me as he reached for something next to the bed. A moment later, he was tying a scarf around my eyes as a blindfold. I smiled and bit my lip as he kissed me on the forehead, then the nose, then the lips, and thenmychin.

“Lower,” I moaned. He laughed and kissed my lips again. “Eventually,” he teased and then he bit my lipgently.

I rolled my head back on the bed and groaned. “I’m not really good at taking things slow,” I said. I ran my hands down my body and settled between my legs with one hand on myself and the other on him. I grabbed him and felt him grow harder in my hand. He laughed and reached down and pulled my hands back up to either side of my face. “Don’t make me tie your handsup,too.”

A bit my lip and moaned. “You might have to, otherwise who knows whatI’lldo.”

He kissed me passionately again, our tongues flicking and twisting together in each other’s mouths, exploring every inch of each other that wecould.

He then pulled away from me and tied my hands to the headboard. I’d never been tied up before, but it was exhilarating. I trusted him completely and wanted nothing more than to have him take my entire body ashisown.

I then felt him push himself off the bed, and the room went dark as he turned the lights out. I waited a few moments, alone, and heard the ignition of a match. He lit candles around the bed, and the scent of vanilla wafted over to me. I couldn’t help but smile. I can see what he was doing, but the flicker of the candlelight cast shadows through my blindfold. He then put on some soft music, something classical that I didn’t recognize. When he started humming along to it as if it was his favourite song, I realized that there was much more to this man that I initially thought. He wasn’t just some incredibly sexy, strong wolf-shifter, he liked classical music, gourmet food, and God knows what else. I couldn’t believe how lucky I was that I had him all tomyself.

I then bit my lip harder as I realized that I probably didn’t necessarily have him all tomyself.

I didn’t want to ruin the mood, but I had to ask. “James?”

The mattress gave way as he sat down next to me on the bed and ran his hand over my stomach. “Yeah,babe?”

“Do you seeanybodyelse?”

The room went silent for a moment and then he let out a hearty laugh. “No, just you.” He leaned forward and kissed me on the lips. “Why, are you dating anyonerightnow?”

I shook my head and moaned into his kiss. “No, not at themoment.”

“Good, if you don’t mind, I like to keep you all formyself.”

I rolled my eyes as best I could under the blindfold, and then realized he couldn’t see them and shrugged my shoulders instead. “Well, no promises,” I teased. “But for tonight, I suppose I can be all yours.” I grinned and he laughed backatme.

“I guess that’ll do for now,” he said as he bit my lip again and then kissed his way along my jawline. He hovered his lips near where the vampire bite was and I felt his body stiffen, but a moment later he kept kissing and didn’t pay itanymind.
