Lost Without You (A werewolf romance)

44. My Love

Amelia Lovecraft

"You don't have a shirt on." I pointed out to Lincoln, who got into the driver's seat.
He settled in, sighing he looked down at his abs. "I know." He smirked.
"You might wanna cover yourself up." I muttered. What am I even saying? "It's cold outside." It's warmer than usual outside. Please shut up Amelia.
He chuckled, placing his elbow on my seat, leaning my way.
"Is it cold outside Mia? Or are you a little distracted." Lincoln spoke, his eyes travelled from my eyes to my lips.
"Ha! You wish!" I crossed my arms.
"Too bad." His face was now just centimetres away from from mine. Oh goddess he's going to kiss me. I closed my eyes. His breath fanned my face. Did I want to push him away or pull him in for a desperate kiss?

My eyes snapped open to see Lincoln eyeing me with amusement, whilst his hand shuffled at the back seat. He pulled out a white T-shirt.
"Happy?" He teased, slipping on the T-shirt over his head and pulling it down.

I looked out the window, completely embarrassed about the awkward situation he put me in. Lincoln started the engine and began to drive. Once we had got on the road, his warm large hand held mine that laid on my lap. I laced my fingers through his, laying back in my seat. This was perfect. The comfortable silence we shared.

Heera kept prancing back in my head, pushing me to ask Lincoln something.

"How's Kai?" I asked.
Lincoln smiled at me before focusing back on the road. "He misses Heera. But I've made him a promise." He stopped talking for a second, and chuckled. "Is she worried about him?"

I could feel Heera wagging her fluffy tail, ears perked up, looking all cute. "Yeah." I smiled.

He let out a laugh, "he's howling like a wacko up there." He pointed to his head, shaking it. "I gotta let him out again, tonight. He's fucking hyped now." I couldn't help but laugh with him.

Soon we arrived in front of my house. I stepped out as Lincoln opened the door for me.
"You know that isn't necessary right?" I pointed to Luke's Jeep parked on the opposite side of the road. He's been on duty, guarding our house since the day I had come back from Lincoln's house.
"It's always necessary. I'm taking no chances." He gently pulled me by the arm, making me land on his chest. I sighed placing my cheek on him. I missed the excitement that builds inside your body at your mate's touch, but just Lincoln holding me now felt comforting enough.

"I miss the sparks you give me every time I touch you." He kissed my forehead. "But I'm not complaining, this will suffice for now. You've at least given me a second chance." He hugged me tight. I tilted my head to look at him. How did this man just read my mind?

"Good night Lincoln." I stepped back.
"Good night my love."

Two days later...

"Don't you have other important things to do?" I asked as I placed my lab coat on the chair.

"Like what?" He grunted.

"You know, Alpha duties?" I crossed my hands looking at Lincoln with a smile. He was seated behind my desk, on my chair. Meddling with the paperweight I had.

Ever since the night Lincoln dropped me off home, he made time to come see me at work, during lunch hours. He has been pressuring me to stop driving, because he wanted to drop me off and pick me up. Today, he's surprisingly here before me. Seated in my place as if he owns the darn thing.
