Reborn

Chapter Fifteen

"We should go hunting tomorrow," He told me. "Then we can start getting prepared. Not knowing how many there are is worrying so we have to make sure we're ready for anything."

I was quick to agree, though slightly surprised he admitted to being worried at all. It wasn't like him to be honest when it came to something that was troubling him; I usually just had to guess and try get him to talk about it.

Smiling, I pressed my lips to his cheek. "We should get dressed though. The others aren't going to stay out much longer."

"I'll lock them out."

"Shadow, be serious." I spoke with a laugh.

"Oh, I am." He glanced at me, a wicked grin on his face. He moved his hand to trail along my body again, so lightly it tickled.

"Shadow!" I whined, torn between staying in bed with him and getting up so nobody interrupts us when we weren't dressed. I knew Alec would never let me forget it if he happened to walk in on us. Though I wasn't particularly close to Vince, I also knew he wouldn't either and that was the last thing I wanted.

"It's my house," Shadow reminded me, leaning in to press his lips to my neck. My eyes closed as he started to kiss his way down my neck, shifting so he was now hovering over me. "We can do what we want."

"Oh, there are a lot of things  I want right now," I admitted, my voice barely louder than a whisper as his hand grazed the side of my breast. "But I don't think we have enough time."

"We have enough time for what I want." He murmured, his hands now travellimg over my stomach, to the skin between my belly button and bikini line. It had always been a spot that sent pleasant shivers down my spine and this time was no different.

"I'm not having sex with you for the first time when we're both worried about other things." I tried to regain some control of the situation but the second his hand moved between my legs, I moaned. "Okay, fuck it."

It was safe to say we didn't get much talking done after that. The only sounds that could be heard were our moans and groans, our hands roaming each other's bodies once again. We didn't have sex - even Shadow agreed it was best to wait - but we certainly had trouble keeping our hands (and lips) off each other. It was like we couldn't. As much as I couldn't stop touching him, he couldn't stop touching me, though I wasn't complaining. He definitely knew what he was doing with his mouth, his hands and that tongue...

"You better have clothes on because I'm coming in anyway!" I heard Alec's voice call from the hallway, his words making me smile. If he'd arrived just fifteen minutes earlier, he'd have caught us.

"You are not seeing my girlfriend naked, Alec!" Shadow called back. We were both sat in the kitchen, trying to come up with a plan for the coming attack when they came back. "Besides, you're a little too late for that!"

I shot Shadow a mortified look but he merely laughed in response, just as Alec entered the kitchen to see that we were indeed wearing clothes.

"Damn it," He groaned, eyes alight in amusement. "Times like these I wish I was Edward fucking Cullen so I could read Shadow's mind and see what I missed."

"Excuse me?" I heard Leah's voice sound from behind him, not seeming very pleased. "You want to see Violet naked?"

"I don't even want to know how many times you have seen Twilight to know that." I spoke at the same time.

"Who do you think had to watch it with her?" Alec asked me, motioning towards Leah who was now stood beside him. Glancing down at her, he pulled her into his arms. "Sorry babe, you know I'm only joking."
