I slip my phone under my pillow and fall asleep surrounded by warmth.
CHAPTER 14:
I wake up to someone’s hand around my waist and a hand over my breast, my back is against a hard warm chest while my legs are dangled with someone’s heavy ones in front of mine. I can feel someone’s breath on the back of my neck too. My face is resting on something smooth yet hard and warm, I can feel something warm near my face and my arm is over someone’s ripped stomach while their much larger hand is holding my arm in place. The person behind me squeezes me into them as if protectively and I can feel something by my bottom and its hard …oh god!
“Talon! What the hell?” I open my eyes quickly and try move away from Talon that’s behind me but that only makes me move closer into Tyler’s side, causing Tyler to chuckle and pull me closer into him.
“Angel don’t act like you’ve never felt that before. Obviously Im’ma get excited with that sweet ass next to me…” Talon snickers trying to pull me closer to him as I move closer to Tyler.
“What’s wrong with you? No I’ve never felt that before THERE and I don’t see Tyler here sporting one and I’m next to him too!” I yell at Talon who’s only smirking at this point.
“Are you sure about that babe?” Tyler says from next to me as he flips me on my side pulling my leg over his thigh and pushing his evident boner into me.
“Oh my god.” I don’t mean for it to come out as a moan.
What is wrong with me? I never used to have such an attraction to guys like this before, of course I was interested in them but when they would try to get intimate I would just push them away, now that all these gorgeous guys are into me I can’t control myself. Such a hoe…
“You’re still a virgin aren’t you?” Talon whispers in my ears and I shiver as I feel his lips on my neck and his hand is on my waist going under my shirt. I can’t help but feel tingles in places there shouldn't be. Tyler still has me pulled up close into him with his arousal still hard pushing against me, his one hand is on my hip moving toward my ass.
No way, this isn’t happening….
I freeze for a moment as their hands explore my body, I wiggle under their hold and try to get up but as I lift my body Talon grabs my waist and throws me down on the bed and puts his large hard body on top of mine, pushing against me and holding me tight in his grasp.
Baby, we know you want this, we want this and our wolves want it too.” I look up at Talons eyes above me and his eyes are darker than before, filled with longing. I look at Tyler whose face is right next to mine. Tyler nuzzles my neck and takes a deep breathe of my scent as he closes his eyes, when his eyes open they are darker than Talons. At this point I’m petrified.
I should have listened to Jax, they're going to hurt me…
“Please stop, I don’t want this. Please I have a boyfriend... please.” I feel the tear that I’ve been holding in escape. I look at both of their desire filled faces as they change into one of shock and guilt while their eyes slowly go back to their normal beautiful colour.
“Oh my god baby! I’m sorry.” Talon says as he pulls me into a hug so that I’m sitting on his lap.
“We weren’t going to hurt you, we promise, we would never hurt you Lex.” Tyler says from behind me as he kisses my cheek and rubs my back.
“Our wolves took over, there’s something about you, it drives our wolves crazy with want. We haven’t had a strong female around here for so long. I guess it our wolves lost control.” Talon says as he hands me to Tyler so he can hold me, they pass me around as if I weigh nothing.
Tyler whispers in my ear, “Damn… I’m so sorry …you were so scared …I’m so sorry…Please forgive us love.” I hear Tyler stutter in my ear as he holds me tight and his head is in the crack of my neck.
I look over to Talon who is behind Tyler on the edge of the bed with watery eyes yet no tears fall, that’s when I feel Tyler shudder underneath me...they’re both crying. I hold Talons hand and I pull Tyler's face up and look into his face wiping the tears away with my other free hand. There sadness makes me sad and all I want to do right now is comfort them even though I should be screaming and yelling at them to stay away. I don’t know why but I don’t want to hurt these boys. Their pain is my pain and that feeling is confusing the living shit outta me.
“Please don’t cry…it’s okay, its fine, it was just a mistake right….I’m fine. I forgive you. Just don’t scare me like that again, you guys are supposed to protect me...” I look at both of them then give each of them a hug. Smiles are back on their gorgeous faces.
“So you still want us to be your protectors? Even after what we did? I don’t think Alpha John will let us look after you…” Tyler says as he looks down ashamed.
“Well…I’m not going to tell him about this and I hope you guys won’t either. I want you guys as my protector’s okay… even after this... I still trust you guys. Please let’s keep this between us, I don't want to create drama when I just arrived.” I beg them.
“Thank you so much Lexi.” they both sound relieved. “Let’s get you fed.”
After getting dressing I follow them downstairs.
They make me breakfast and stack my plate fill of pancakes with cinnamon and syrup. Tyler makes me hot chocolate since it’s a cold morning and I don’t drink coffee or tea. Johnny comes strolling down the stairs with a ruffled face and pillow lines still etched on his skin, obviously just woken up wearing his hoody and long track pants.
“Mornin Angel, you sleep well?” I see Tyler and Talon look at each other and tense next to me when Johnny asks me; he gives me half a hug over the counter and kisses my forehead just like my dad always used to.
The boys beside me relax after I say, “Yeah, thank you so much for letting me stay over, I was exhausted.” I look at the clock in the kitchen and quickly drop my plate in the dishwasher. “Jeesh, it’s already 9 o’clock. I guess I better get going soon, I’m supposed to spend time with my friends today.”
“I wish you didn’t have to leave.” Alex says as she comes down from the stairs and gives me hug.
“I know, I’ve had such a great time but I need to get back. I will come and visit you guys as often as I can though, I promise.” I reply with a smile.
“Yeah you better, we’re going to miss you babe! We’ve put our numbers in your phone so if you need anything just let us know.” the twins give me a hug as Talon tells me this.
“My numbers there too, if you need ANYTHING Angel, you phone me and I’ll be there!” Johnny whispers in my ear as he gives me his usual bear hug.
Why do they keep calling me Angel? The way they say it, not like a sign of endearment but like it’s my name?
We say our goodbyes and Alex hugs me and cries again when I let go, as if she might lose me again.
I get in the car as I see Johnny holding Alex in his arms as she weeps into his chest. Why is she so sad that I’m leaving?
As I drive away looking in my rear view mirror, I feel like I’m leaving a piece of my heart behind. I’m so happy I finally found them and that they’ve so easily welcomed me to their family. I’m overwhelmed by all the things I found out in the time I was with them, I nearly forget that I still have to deal with Jax and most probably Drake when I get home. I’m so tired though, I think I’ll go have a nap before I text them that I’m back. I’m going to need all the energy I can get
to face them and keep this secret from them.
CHAPTER 15:
As I get outta my car and start walking toward our house, the clouds open up and start pouring rain. By the time I reach the door I’m soaking wet. I open the door to a dark house, all the curtains closed and I know that moms not here since her handbag that usually sits on the table near the door is missing.
I walk into my room and look through my windows it’s all gloomy and dark outside with the rain and lightning whipping down. I pull off my shirt and shorts so that I’m in my lacey purple underwear and black bra. I walk to the bathroom to get a towel to dry my hair and on my walk back to my room I hit a hard bare chest that wasn’t there a minute ago.
“Drake! What the hell! You nearly gave me a heart attack! What is wrong with you! How did you get in here? Haven’t you heard of knocking?” I yell at him and pull the towel that I was drying my hair with over my body and stomp to my room to get clothes but I don’t get a chance to reach my drawers because Drake grabs my shoulders and pushes me into my door closing it behind me.
“Don’t fucking shout at me Lexi, where were you? Why did you disobey me?” he bangs me into the door. I shudder at the pain that goes through my spine at the impact and the anger that is radiating off of Drake. I finally understand what Ronny said about his "other side".
This pisses me off and little as I am, I try my hardest to push his chest using all my strength but all the self-defense classes dad taught me isn’t helping me at this moment because he doesn’t even budge, my towel drops and I don’t even care.
“Don’t disobey you? Who do you think you are? I can do whatever the fuck I want and NO ONE, specifically NOT YOU is going to stop me! What is wrong with you? Why are you so mad? I just visited an old friend, what is your problem? I came back didn’t I?” I yell at him trying to control the tears from trickling over.
“Don’t do that Lexi, you’re making it sound like it isn’t a big deal when it is! All I wanted to know was where you were going and who you were seeing? Why did you make such a big deal about it?” He asks as his voice wavers. I can see he is trying to calm himself down. His hands are on the door on either side of my head blocking me in and his face is right in front of mine, then he lifts his head as if he’s smelling the air.
Could he smell the twins on me? He looks back at me and I can see through the light coming from my window from the lightning that his once beautiful hazel eyes are now black, he stares down at me, intimidating me, making me tremble with fear.
“Who the FUCK did you see?” he roars as he puts his hands on the side of my arms and pushes me into the door hard, my feet are dangling a few inches above the ground. With the force from the door on my back and head I’m winded and can’t seem to grasp enough air into my lungs. If it wasn’t for his hands that are still on my arms I probably would fall to the floor. His hands are so tight around my arms that I know for certain that I’m going to be left with bruises. I’m so shocked by his behavior and mood swing that I’m at a loss for words. I want to yell at him but the words won’t come out as I stare into his black eyes.
“Why can’t you just tell me? What’s the big secret? It’s not safe out there! Don’t you understand that you are MINE? No one else fucking touches you but ME!” he growls at me as he pushes his body into mine so I can’t move making me shove against the door again hurting my shoulder blades. His nose is now so close to mine, his face shows so much anger and I can feel his breath on my lips. I’ve never been more terrified in my existence; I don’t understand why he is treating me like this.
I feel the tears that I’ve been hiding start to fall down my cheek as I whisper afraid he might hurt me more. “It’s not safe out there? Where is it safe? Here? With you?” he looks down at my red arms and a bruise that’s he’s caused is already forming on my left arm, his eyes turn back to brown and his face softens as guilt takes over his features.
“Fuck…” he raises his hand and I cringe, I turn my head and put my one hand up to cover my face to stop the blow that I’m waiting to hit my face but it doesn’t come.
“Oh God Lexi, fuck…I messed up! I’m so sorry, please… I didn’t mean to hurt you.” he steps away from me and all his weight that was holding me up is gone and I fall to the floor and cry out in pain.
“Babe I’m so sorry, please forgive me, please Lex…” He rushes to me and picks my half naked quivering body and places me on the bed. He climbs in the bed next to me and holds me against his warm naked chest carefully so he doesn’t hurt me; he then pulls me to his lap so I'm straddling him.
I’m still crying like a baby and I cover my face with my hands so he can’t see, I try push him away from me but this only makes him hold me tighter against him, whispering how sorry he is in my ear and brushing my back gently. I know I should hate him and end whatever we have before we start something serious but I feel guilty about how much I enjoyed the twin’s touch that in a sick way I see this as the punishment I deserve.
I cry into his shoulder and finally give into his warm loving touch and wrap my arms around his neck, I put my head in the crook of his neck trying to control my cries and smell him, his scent makes me feel at ease, not completely though.
He lifts my head to look at him and he moves the wet hair from my face slightly cupping my jaw in his big hands. I can see how sad and sorry he is as he kisses the tears that have fallen on my puffy rosy cheeks. His hair is also wet and messy, his blond hair has a few long pieces that have fallen so his eyes are partially covered, I lift my trembling hand and gently move his hair so I can see those beautiful eyes I love so much, looking into them immediately calms me. He takes my hand and kisses it.
“Lexi I will NEVER hurt you again… I promise you that… I’m so sorry. You don’t have to tell me where you went, you’re back safe now and that’s all that matters. All I ask from you is that you let me know you’re safe. I thought I was going to die when you didn’t come back, I was so worried babe. Please don’t ever do that to me again…” he says softly as he looks me in my eyes and wipes away the remaining tears.
I don’t know what to say so I just nod, although I’m calm I’m still afraid he might hurt me again and I just don’t know what to say to him at this moment. I need some time to think about everything that has happened. I hate that I cried in front of him, I don’t want him to think I’m weak and that I will just accept this behavior from him, we both made a mistake and we handled it the wrong way but I won’t let him think that it’s okay to push me around. It’s not.
“Lexi? Are you okay? I’m so sorry, I never meant to hurt you but I was so mad and I can smell someone else’s sce…deodorant on you and I just thought you were seeing another guy and I just flipped. I’m sorry Lex it won’t happen again.” Drake says as he kisses me corner of my lips
“Drake...it can’t happen again. It can’t. I don’t like that side of you and I know you never meant to hurt me but you did and that scares me. You scared me. It can’t happen again Drake.”
After witnessing the episode Drake threw I decide that its safer for me to lie, I was going to tell him the somewhat truth like I did my mom but Drake as well as the others are hiding things from me, I know it and I think it’s just safer for mom and I if I lie about the situation.
So with all the conviction in me, I lie to the best of my ability.
“Drake…I visited my friend Alex, she used to live near me until she moved, I lost touch with her then ran into her at the supermarket. She stays in Colters Grove, the next town over. Anyway, we just went out to eat and she introduced me to some of her family that was visiting her, it’s probably her cousins that you smell. Drake they know I’m dating you and I only want you.”
I look him in the eyes, I can see he is convinced when he smiles and shows me his white teeth, I know I’ve pleased him. “Thank you babe, I only want you and you already have me, I’m so sorry… I never want to hurt you again. You don’t have to be afraid of me. That will never happen again.” He says as he raises
his lips towards mine.
“I missed you so much Lex…” he says before our lips meet and the pain that took over my body lessens. Our lips move together as if they’ve missed the others company. I realize that we are still half naked when my chest touches the skin of his warm chest, he’s in just his gym shorts and I’m in underwear. His hands are on my hips gently squeezing them as his tongue asks for entrance at my lips and they part as I invite him in. His tongue is so warm, so soft and his taste is minty, he moans in my mouth as I lower my body into his. His hands are now holding onto my ass as our mouths devour each other. His hand moves over my stomach then rests on waist.
“Lexi babe you taste so sweet, I want you so bad…” he growls in my ear as he shifts us so that he’s on top of me now with my legs wrapped around his waist.
I feel the pain in my back from hitting the door, I can deal with this pain as long as he continues taking my mind off everything he did to hurt me. He puts his one hand on my upper thigh and the other is next to my head holding himself up. Our lips are still together, our tongues colliding, intensifying the pleasure as he moves his body against mine to a rhythm, the thought of us being only separated by a few pieces of fabric makes me moan out loud when he grinds against me one more time.
“Baby if you keep moaning like that I don’t know if I can control myself …” he whispers in my ear in a gruff voice. I let out a husky giggle against his mouth. “Oh god baby that’s sexy… you swear you’ve never done any of this before?” he says against my mouth trailing kisses down my neck.
I don’t know where my boldness comes from but I tell him exactly what I’m thinking, “Nah… I haven’t… but it feels…. so good….” I groan as he brings his mouth back to my lips.
He whispers against my lips looking into my eyes, “Let me take care of you babe. Let me show you how much you mean to me…” he trails off as he starts kissing down my neck and chest, his other hand reaches behind my back and unclasps my bra with ease. He definitely has experience with these things.
