She wasn't pulling back, or pushing me away. I wasn't ever someone that held back like this... The only thing i wanted more than to kiss right her right now was for her to want me to.

It had been a long time since a wondering if girl wanted me to kiss her not... people were generally easy to read. But Leah... she was written in a whole different language. The corners of my mouth quirked up when she spoke but only for a second until I brought my mouth down on her.

I low hum >

rumble in my chest, the release of the anticipation and the overwhelming sesantion on my stomach.

I pushed down the animal instinct to pull her closer, there was something more here, something that would pass us by if we didn't see it through. The kiss was light and long, and breathtaking.

I leaning in further; breaking the contact only to take steadying breath, and when I kissed her again my lips moved against hers the way se'd kissed me outside. That same feeling of the >

world falling away swept in and I let it. My ither hand lifted to her shoulder and i slide my hand into her hair like the worries of her reaction to it had never entered my mind.

I parted her lips with mine and another new shound felt me when i felt the heat of her breath on my lips.

The wikd instincts swelled up again but I was here to try and claim her, all I wanted was this kiss, I expected nothing beyond this moment. It was new... my heart thumped wildly in my chest.

@BadBoyEmbryCall

The moment his lips touched mine the world around me melted away. The hum of the spirits was gone like he being this close to me had closed the doors on them. Asking them to give us a second to see this through.

My heart stopped for a count before restarting again. And I tried to stop myself thinking ten steps ahead. He always talked about being in the moment, and I rolled my eyes at it. And now, I was trying to be here in the moment.

My fingers curled and fisted up the -

front of his shirt, and I leant into him a little. I didn’t mov into him completely because something told me that the is wasn’t like the others. He wasn’t like the others.

My lips stopped, when his hangs were in my hair. But I did as I promised… I didn’t punch him. Because like before, his touch brought with it a calm and not a madness.

There was swell of sensations growing and perking their head up. My stomach, the hum over my skin, the tingle over my lips. All feeding -

@BadBoyEmbryCall -

This pull towards him.

I fought to catch my breath when he pulled away, and then he was back again. My lips feel open and my tongue entwined itself around him and for the first time, I really teased him.

My hand flatten over his chest, telling him I was listening to the sound of his unspoken words.

@HotHeadSheWolf
I heard her heart change rhythym, felt her hands gripped the front of her shirt. it ws like gravity was hifting us closer togehter... but everything... every single thing she did told me that she wanted me to kiss her.

Leah Clearwater wanted to be kissed... by me? What in the name of the Spirit's was happening here? A question i couldn't answer yet, but i didn't care i just trusted that those answers would come in due time.

tongue against mine. My finger were stil combed into her hair, my hand resting easily on the back of her neck the other moved down her arm and then slipped around her waist. My finger bunching up the back of her shirt now.

I had kissed a lot of people... but now... i couldn't understand hat had been appealing about it. This felt like nothing else i had ever experienced. Not even in the minds of the other guys. My chest was rising and falling faster and my >

@BadBoyEmbryCall

The hum in the air began to flow over my skin. My bare arms started to feel small bumps growing over them. I knew what they were, but I’d never had them in years. Goosebumps? I was kissing someone... no... not someone... I was kissing Embry Call, and I wasn’t questioning it. Because I knew if I started to question this now, there was a likely chance that my walls would go back up.

My hands moved up over his shoulders, slipping over his -

@BadBoyEmbryCall -

neck feeling the warm skin that was the same as mine. And then they were in his hair. His Hair… I was holding Embry Call close, kissing him and he was kissing me back… Tilting my head to the side a little I deepened the kiss, and then in need of a breath I pulled back resting my forehead against his.

Closing my eyes, my chest rising and falling to the beat of his heart, I kept my eyes closed trying to pull some words together.

-

@BadBoyEmbryCall -

“What are you doing to me?”

Of all the things, I found it best to say what you were thinking. And the pounding in my chest wasn’t a reaction I was used to having.

@HotHeadSheWolf
This was like the most vivid dream I had ever had. But how could I dream something I had never felt before?

The way it felt to have her lips against mine, the taste and scent and feel of her overtaking all of my senses. then her hands started to move set trails of fire in their wake. Her fingers were in my hair and shivers bolted down my spine. Hell! mine were hers and I was still breathing!

There was no way I could dream what I felt like to share each breath with her. It >

@HotHeadSheWolf

was happening.

My heart felt like it could punch through my chest when she deepened the kiss. When she lay her forehead against mine i kept my eys shut, my hand slipped back to her cheek... I never touched a woman like that before, I never wanted to. But with her it just seemed like the most natural thing to do.

Her heart was pounding as hard as mine. "I have no idea." I whispered breathlessly, my forehead touched to hers and now I did pull her closer, >

@HotHeadSheWolf < gently.

"But... What it is... is amazing?"

@BadBoyEmbryCall

“Amazing?” Of all the things, something
Amazing coming out of the way this night had gone was surprising.

He sounded like Embry, and not all at the same time. Again it was hard to put into words, but something was different in the way his word sounded to my ear.

My eyes fluttered open when my body moved closer into him, he had moved me… I never let that happen, or more so it wasn’t something men could do. When I dug in, there was no moving me.

-

@BadBoyEmbryCall -

And it was another thing I hadn’t thought of. “I can’t break you…” it was low, a whisper for only our ears.

I hadn’t tried to break him, but the fact that he was still sat her. And for once I hadn’t had to worry about holding him too tight, of pushing him too hard.

My mind was clearly all over the place, so unlike me. With the way it darted around from place to place.

@HotHeadSheWolf

I couldn't help smiled when she echoed the word back to me. Her voice was breathy, I hadn't heard her like this before. The closer she moved, the deeper the feeling of belonging got. And then her words opened up a whole new to me.

She wasn't fragile... I could hurt her. Not unless I set out to and that wasn't going to happen. I didn't need to a check myself with her, or worry about causing her pain accidentally. I flattened my hand against her back and moved it up. Feeling >

@HotHeadSheWolf
< the heat and the defined muscles there.

Now it was my turn to echo her words back. “I can’t break you...” and voicing the thought seemed to break a dam somewhere inside. “Really... Don’t kill me this time,” I whispered and then I pulled her against me the heat of her and the feel of her against me woke up my whole body. My hand slipped to the back of her neck and I kissed her harder than before.

I hadn’t taken hold her like this before because all I’d wanted to do >

@HotHeadSheWolf
< was follow this feeling to be close to and let whatever this feeling was to take hold.

I didn't want to claim her, or paw at her the way I was sure had happened to her too often in the past. But this... This was different this was exploring a new possibility with her.

I grained softly into the kiss, tasting her tongue again and holding her tightly against me. Not painfully tight, just allowing my body to give in the natural instincts it had in a moment like this. It was >

@BadBoyEmbryCall

He understood, of course he understood what I meant without the need of explanation. It was something we all had to learn, to have drilled into our minds. Our strength, our hardness, our need to have more than others, the drive to let go in a world of fragile beings… but this.. him.. me… here and now…

“Spirits.” It had never occurred to me.

My eyes searched his once again. Now I knew when he asked me not to kill him, he was about to do something that would make me want to-

@BadBoyEmbryCall -

My mind flamed to life when his hands took a hold and he grabbed me. The instinct fight back was rampant to the point I had to snap my teeth to stop the reaction to take life.

His lips crushed mine as he pulled me into him. My arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him too. And this time, it wasn’t the slow tentative touches from before.

The pit of my stomach twisted to the point that I could feel a fire starting to come to life. The kisses before were tender, searching -

@BadBoyEmbryCall -

And filled with so much that was unspoken. But this… it was testing, understanding, and freeing all at once.

His tongue danced with mine, and I knew that we shouldn’t know how to do this, and yet that unspoken belonging and peace that came from being this close to him. Made it so that we just knew.

@HotHeadSheWolf
My heart pounded when her strong arms pulled me into her too. Spirit’s! My head swam… heat pulsed through me I softened my hold and my mouth against her, that curiosity satisfied… the prevailing need was still that searching and exploring everything that this was doing to me…

She had to feel this too.

The kiss slowed but stayed heated and deep. When it, stopped took a deep breath and pressed my lips to hers again… and again. My hand on her cheek moved up along her jaw. >

@HotHeadSheWolf
< I wanted to kiss my way along her jaw but restrain the urge. “Wow!” The breathy word slipped out before I knew.

“Still real?” I was asking myself… her… the universe in general.

@BadBoyEmbryCall

It’s was like a switch had been flipped, the growth of that need to learn, to see , to feel was like a fire that spread over the top of water. It was burning hot and yet if you stayed under the water beneath, there was safety.

But was there safety in this? How did I still feel like there was. Like this was the right place for me?

His kissing slowed, mine mirroring him. My lungs burning like that rest of me as I finally took in deep breaths. His hands weren’t holding me -

@BadBoyEmbryCall -

as tightly, and mine were in his hair again. The kisses he placed on my lips were gentle, softer, and still it feed that fire in me.

I didn’t hear him at first. The pounding from our heart had been like drums that had found their rhythms together. But when his words sunk in. I slowly pulled back. Coming back to reality.

“Still real.” I didn’t dream, so he had to be real. This has to be real. And it occurred to me.

“That move should have cost you your hands… -

@BadBoyEmbryCall -

It’s a good thing, in a woman of my word.” I’d promised not to punch him when he stepped back into my home.

@HotHeadSheWolf
the way her was beating in time with mine... it shouldn't be possible. I chuckled softly at her comment.

"I know..." My thumb swept along her jaw again. Her skin was so soft and yet I knew the strength that was beneath it. I had kissed Leah... I had pulled her body into mine and not been punched or laid out for it. "But it was partially your fault... you did point out that we can't break each other. And we all know my reputation for self-control."

My hand moved down the >

@HotHeadSheWolf
< the side of her neck and I smiled.

"How can something feel so delicate... and belong to the strongest person you know?"

@BadBoyEmbryCall

Pulling back my eyebrow raised. He was saying 𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 a lot tonight/ this morning..? Whatever time of day it was.

“You know and you still dared to go through with it? Do you have a death wish?” It’s the only reason I could contemplate for his actions.

My eyes closed, his hand on my neck sent that hum of energy shooting down me, and again I held my breath. This was astonishing, he was the first guy to touch me, where the coolness of his hand didn’t hit me first. -

@BadBoyEmbryCall -

I didn’t need to gear myself up for it, or remind myself not to react to it.

“Wait…” I pulled back a little. “Did you just call me delicate? Because you know I could kill you for spending such rumours about me.”

But I knew what he meant, my hands slipped back down to his chest. He was fit, muscular, well put together. And yet there was this gentle side to his too.

@HotHeadSheWolf
"I'm starting to think I just might." I teased with another small laugh. "Just... curious." I licked my bottom lip and fixed my dark gaze on hers. I felt her go still when she held her breath.

Was it me that was making her feeling like this? I swallowed hard when she pulled back... knowing only too well what she was capable of, but I smiled. She was a woman of her word, like she had said.

"That's not exactly what I said." I whispered... lowering my voice as I dipped my >

@BadBoyEmbryCall

What was wrong with me? How was I Letting myself react to every touch from him, when I didn’t from anyone else?

My gaze remained on him, and I knew
I wasn’t going to say that line about Curiosity killed the cat, because we were anything but. I had been the same way, the question had just arose in my mind, I said the words, and he was the one to step up to test it.

When he leant into me again, that twist in my stomach tighten making sure that the fire in the depths of -

@BadBoyEmbryCall -

My stomach was still alight. My throat bobbed and my breathing caught again, making me chastise myself. I had to get a grip here.

But this, with him. It wasn’t the same.

My hands slipped up, one curled into his hair and the other resting on his back.

“That’s something that has always been me.” Every his voice was causing my body and heart to react. “It’s just how I am made, and—“

The kiss to my throat made me loose my train of thought.

@HotHeadSheWolf
Her fingers were in my hair again and I felt a shiver wind it's way down my spine. She was so close that knew she would feel what it did to me and I wanted her to. I wanted her to hear the erratic sound of my heart sd my lips and tongue explored the places that made hers erratic too.

“The Spirits broke the mould when they made you, Leah.” I kissed her again deeper and with more need. My lips closed over the spot where I felt her pulse. Careful not the leave any her... >

@HotHeadSheWolf
< not that it would last long enough to be seen. I had no desire to leave a mark on her, I wasn't laying a claim. I was opening myself up to her laying everything bare.

So was she, in her own tentative way. That was the only reason I was still here. “I knew there had to be a reason our paths were linked lately.” I kissed her jaw and worked my way towards her ear. “I've never felt anything else like this before,” I whisper and moved my hand over her clothes to rest above her >

@HotHeadSheWolf
< heart.

I want to ask her if she had... But I knew that she would show me her answer her own way. It was like she was a sheet of music snd I had suddenly learned how to read it.
