Reflections Beginning (Book 2 Reflections Series)

Chapter 19 – Far too many things going wrong ©

In the morning I was awoken early by my Dad hammering on the door to get up and that we had half an hour. I groaned but pushed myself out of bed in the darkness. It’s the bloody weekend and I have to get up earlier than when I went to school! This sucks so much.

I had a quick shower and then stumbled back into my bedroom to find Caden stretched out on the bed and still sound asleep. He loved me. He truly loved me. I was still floored by it even now that he felt that way for me.

I stroked my finger across his incredibly kissable lips that had apparently kissed a lot of girls. I felt a stab of jealousy until I realised that if he loved me then the only person he would be kissing from now on would be me, which cheered me up immensely.

“Charlotte.” I snapped away from my musings to see a heated glimmer in his eyes “Kiss me.” He murmured.

I felt a thrill go through me as I lowered my lips to his. I tried every trick I had learnt off him until Caden groaned loudly, wrestled me onto the bed and took control of the kiss. I was swept away in his world of bliss as he licked, teased and generally paid homage to my mouth with his.

He hissed in a breath when there was a loud banging on the door. Caden almost instantly was in Warrior mode thinking that the noise was a threat. His kisses became fiercer while his hands went wild with exploration.

“Coming Dad, just give me a minute.” I tried to say between his passion filled kisses and possessive growls.

“Mine Charlotte you are mine.” His words were thickly uttered but I still felt a kick of desire rush into my abdomen that he wanted to claim me so very badly.

He ground his hips against mine and I moaned at the instant throbbing in the very depths of my being. His fingers bit into my sides until I yelped and he seemed to come back into himself, shaking his head and loosening his fingers grip.

“God Charlotte I apologize.” He said sincerely “I have so much trouble controlling my powers and myself around you.” He pulled my top up to see bruises already forming in an almost perfect placement of where his fingers had been. I heard him almost groan in despair.

“That's fine don’t worry.” I told him as I pulled my top down.

“Here am I telling you that I will not rush you and then I do this. Please forgive me Charlotte.” His voice was so full of remorse.

“Sure I’ve had worse than that believe me.” I whispered finally and he hitched in a breath.

“From another man?” He demanded jealously, his eyes heightened once again with his power.

“Ah no I‘m pretty sure we discussed that last night.” I told him ruefully.

I heard Dad bang on the door again, only this time yelling out to meet us in Ben’s office within ten minutes. I yelled back an agreement only to turn back to see Caden fighting for control with himself.

“Promise me you will never let another man touch you.” He looked at me fiercely and I frowned. Hadn’t I already told him that no guy wanted a bar of me? “Promise me Charlotte.” He demanded.

“Geez chill out Caden. No guy wants to touch me so there’s no problem there. But I promise alright.” I told him reassuringly “Now go get dressed I’ve got to Time it today so we need to get a move on.” I explained and he looked at me strangely before going to get ready.

With a great deal of protesting and arguments, Caden finally let me Time it to go back to Saturday afternoon and the records room at the school. Uh time travel gave you such a sense of dejavu sometimes.

I shook my head rapidly to find the two guys looking at me strangely. I took a deep breath to still my racing heart which was when I realised I was still holding my folder in my hands. I quickly stuffed it back in as they turned to leave but I shook my head and made a gesture to stay still.

“Caden I need you to listen. Christine is going to walk through that door. She is going to try and take her folder but we need to capture her okay?” I explained in his mind so we made no noise.

“Fine but how do you know this Charlotte?” He asked and I looked at him but rolled my eyes.
