Just A Little Fun

Chapter Twelve - Just A Little Fun

        "You couldn't give me a warning?!" I yelled as I turned around to face the trees behind me. 

        "Now why would I do that? I don't mind." I could practically hear his smirk plastered on his face. 

        "You better wipe that smirk off your face before I do it for you!" I yelled over my shoulder. I mean seriously, I already have a hard enough time keeping myself away from jumping him. I was pulled out of my fast turning inappropriate thoughts when i was shoved from behind and approaching the dirt covered ground fast. 

        I closed me eyes and braced myself to feel the nose crunching impact but it never came. I opened my eyes to to get an eyeful of fur. 

        "Aghghhh" I pushed my self up to find myself sitting on the back of a huge black wolf. "Well, next time you decide to push me, please don't."

        I swung my leg over and slid down his huge body. I walked around to his front to find him smiling the only way a wolf could, with his mouth open, tongue swinging and eyes crinkled. It was a little scary but cute at the same time. 

        "So what now?" He turned his head in answer as if he was saying 'get on'. "But your like seven feet tall! I barely reach your neck!" He rolled his eyes in response and he layed down on his stomach. Giggling, I hopped on him and held on to fur on the nape of his neck. Without warning he took off and in fear of falling backwards I leaned forward and wrapped my arms around his neck and I swear I heard him purr. 

        We weaved through the trees at a speed that could beat a freaking Ferrari. I was screaming at the top of my lungs with the biggest smile.The sunset light streamed through the leaves if the trees and made the forest look so ethereal.  I felt like we were running for hours until eventually he slowed to a stop right at the gate of the castle.

        He shifted and as I averted my eyes he out n a pair of shorts.

        "Did you have fun?"

        "Yes, that was amazing. I wish I could run that fast."

        He mumbled something under his breath, but before I could answer he pulled me up the steps and through the huge wooden doors. We both didn't say a word but the silence was comforting. He held my hand as he puled me through the maze that is the second floor to his bedroom. In his room he walked to the dresser and pulled out a t shirt and threw at me. 

        I changed in the bathroom and when I entered the room he was shirtless and under the covers. He patted the space next to him. Shyly, I pulled down the thigh high shirt and slid under the covers. He wrapped his arm around me and pulled close to him. 

        "Goodnight, Anna."

        "Goodnight, Xavier."
