I jerk awake confused forgetting where I was. When the pounding comes again it’s accompanied by Maloki yelling for Eric to open the damn door. Not good. I hear Eric come out of his room and wow he looks good when he’s still pretty much asleep. He heads for the door.
He pauses to look at me on his way to the door, “Maybe you should act like you’re still asleep”.
I nod laying back I close my eyes and try to slow my breathing.
I hear the door open and Eric’s voice, “Would you shut up already! What do you want”?
“Where is she”, Maloki asks.
“She’s sleeping. Though how she slept through you pounding on the door I have no idea”, I hear a slight growl in Eric’s voice and I can’t stop my bodies reaction as my heart speeds up.
“You had better not have touched her”, Maloki growls back. It’s odd since I’ve never actually heard him angry.
“What are you going to do if I did, she’s not yours”, not going well at all.
I hear a shuffle and slowly I open my eyes as though I’m just waking up and jump a little to see Maloki standing over me.
“What are you doing here”, I ask him.
“No one could find you after dinner and we’ve been looking all over for you”, Maloki replies as he kneels down by the couch.
“I didn’t mean to make you worry I started reading and didn’t realize how late it was and Eric let me sleep on the couch instead of having to find my way back to the initiate’s room”, I say. I look over Maloki’s shoulder and see Eric just watching.
“It’s almost three in the morning why don’t you let her get some sleep she has training bright and early” Eric says as he moves holding open the door.
Maloki gives me a look and I know he’s not comfortable with it but I don’t really want to leave, “I’m fine I’ll find you at breakfast before you leave tomorrow”, I tell him.
“You better”, Maloki replies as he stands and heads for the door where he pauses. “You better keep your hands to yourself”, and he walks out.
Eric closes the door and turns back to me, “We should get back to sleep”.
He has a strange look on his face and I stand up as he heads to his room, “Wait”.
He stops but doesn’t turn around so I walk over till I’m right in front of him. I’m not exactly sure what pushed me to do it since I know I’m not that aggressive but I wrap my arms around his neck and push myself up onto my toes. He just looks at me for a second before he smiles and wraps his arms around me hugging me. I roll my eyes but as he leaned into the hug he was much closer and I turned my face to his and press my lips to his. Surprised he pulls back and looks into my eyes before leaning in slowly.
He stops an inch from my lips and feeling his hot breath against my lips I can’t stop myself as I move in the rest of the way. His lips are soft and gentle as they move against my own. After a moment he pulls back which surprises me. One of his hands leaves my back and he runs his thumb across my bottom lip.
“We should really get some sleep”, he sighs out.
“Uh huh”, is all I can muster my eyes still locked on his full lips.
He chuckles and holds my chin as he presses another kiss to my lips before pulling away and heading to his room. I just stand there for another minute before I shake myself off and lay back down. I can hear Maloki in my head yelling at me for that but I can’t find it in myself to care right now.
I wake in the morning to the smell of coffee and Eric sitting on the couch shaking my shoulder, “Time to wake up”.
I grumble and pull the blanket over my head. I’m almost asleep when Eric pulls the blanket off the couch laughing.
“Not funny”, I glare at him and notice the cup of coffee on the table I grab it and take a huge drink from it.
“That was mine you know”, he says.
“Well, now it’s mine”, I stick out my tongue at him. He laughs and heads back to the kitchen and returns with another cup. “What time is it”, I ask as he sits beside me.
“Almost five I figured you would need time to stop by your room and change into your training clothes before breakfast”, he stands up. “I’ll give you a few minutes to change”, and heads to his room.
I stretch as I stand up and quickly change clothes. I’m just sitting back down when he comes back out dressed in loose training style pants and a black shirt. I down the last of the coffee quickly and take my cup into the kitchen going ahead and washing it.
“Making yourself at home”, he makes it sound like a question. I turn to find him leaning against the wall.
“I just didn’t want to be rude leaving dishes around”, I fight the blush rising up.
He pushes away from the wall smiling, “I wasn’t serious come on we should get going before Maloki comes looking for you again”.
He follows behind me as I head for the door and when I start to pull it open he pushes it closed again and I turn to find him extremely close to me.
“Hi”, I say.
He just smiles and his hand that isn’t pressing against the door finds its way to my hip and he leans in kissing me. This kiss is so much different than the one last night. This one has so much more passion as he presses his lips hard against my own. My hands come up around his back pulling him closer to my body. I gasp when he lightly bites my lip and he takes advantage of it pushing his tongue into my mouth. I moan softly against his mouth my fingers curling and dragging down his back.
He pulls away sharply and I lean against the door for support while I catch my breath. I watch as he brings his breathing back to normal as well. When his eyes meet my own I inhale quickly from the intense fire burning in them.
“We should go before I lose control and don’t let you leave”, he says as he reaches to open the door.
I’m still pressed against the door so he can’t open it. I’m pretty sure my lust took over when my hands find their way to his stomach and move slowly feeling every muscle up to his shoulders. I watch as the fire that had dimmed in his eyes came back full force. I move my hand down over his arms and link my fingers with his own.
I move and press a light kiss under his jaw when there’s a sudden knocking at the door. We both pull back and Eric pulls the door open and I see both Maloki and Kristopher in the doorway.
“We came to make sure she made it breakfast”, Maloki says stepping into the room and grabs hold of the hand that was still in Eric’s and pulls me out the door.
When I look back I see Eric outside his door watching us leave when I stop suddenly wrenching my hand out of Maloki’s. They both stop and turn to look at me. I turn around and walk back to Eric. I can see the question in his eyes as I get closer but I just smile and wrap my arm around his and pull him along back to Maloki and Kristopher. Maloki looks pissed but I can a smirk on Kristopher’s face.
“I already had an escort back to my room but I appreciate the offer”, I say and lead Eric past both of them.
We walk for a few minutes before Eric starts laughing, “Maloki’s face was priceless I thought he was going to explode”.
I roll my eyes, “Yeah, I think he is actually angrier with me because I kinda promised them I would stay away from you until I knew exactly what I was feeling for you”.
He raises his eyebrow at that and I can see some disappointment in his face, “Well maybe you should do that then”.
I try to keep my arm wrapped around his but he pulls away and walks away, “Eric don’t”, I started but he turned the corner ignoring me.
I’m still standing there when Maloki and Kristopher come up beside me. I somehow know they had seen what had happened. Neither of them says anything as we go to the initiate’s room and I automatically grab training clothes and change quickly. I just sit quietly at breakfast not eating much but Kristopher gets some food into me. I keep looking around for him but he’s not anywhere around.
Kristopher nudges my shoulder and I look at him, “It’ll be fine he’s just upset”.
“I didn’t mean for it to come out that way”, I say staring at the table.
“I’m pretty sure he’s just not used to girls who don’t just fall at his feet”, he laughs and I blush. “You didn’t do anything did you”?
“Not much we kissed twice but that was it”, I say.
“Look it’s obvious he likes you he just doesn’t understand we’re worried that it’s too fast. It’s only been four days since you got here? He’s more experienced than you and we don’t want him to push you into anything too soon”.
I nod knowing he’s right. I only had my first kiss last night and I was about to push it too far this morning after that kiss and I know I’m not ready for that yet. I need to figure everything out before I can be with him, which meant not being near him for a while.
Over the next week it was easy to avoid Eric since it seemed he was ignoring me as well. The only time I saw him was during training and even then he stayed as far from me as possible. We had started fighting each other and so far I was doing well staying in the middle of the rankings. I knew Christian was worried since I spent most of my time alone but I told him I just needed time to think.
By the time Saturday was here I knew what I wanted and I was going to get it. I was walking through the Chasm when I heard my name called and I turned to see Alexander catching up to me. I rolled my eyes but waited for him.
“Where are you going”, he asked when he caught up to me.
“Just walking around”, I say not wanting him to know where I had been headed.
“Oh, mind if I join you we haven’t really spent much time together since we got here”, he says.
I continue walking and he just keeps talking about everything that had been going on and I can tell he’s rambling.
“Was there something you needed Alexander”, I say as I stop in a random hallway and turn to him.
“Yeah there was actually”, he says.
The next thing I know he’s kissing me. My eyes widen and I try to pull away but he has his hands wrapped around my back and my arms are pinned to my side by his.
I finally get his lips off mine, “What the hell Alexander”?
“I like you and I have for a while and I thought you liked me too”, he says finally letting me go.
“I don’t like you like that, I thought we were friends but that’s it”, I say wanting to let him down softly.
“Are you serious”, he says as he moves closer to me. I step back before taking a different approach and shifting to the side so there was nothing behind me.
“What gave you the idea I liked you like that”, I ask him.
“I just know you do”, he says still walking towards me.
“I need time to think about this”, I say.
Thankfully he stops coming closer, “I guess that’s fine. Come find me when you’re done”.
I watch as he walks away and I rush up the stairs and stop when I realize I’m in Eric’s hallway. I step in front of his door and take a deep breath before knocking. There’s no answer and I don’t hear anything inside so I turn to leave. I glance back at the door right before I reach the stairs and almost fall when I crash into someone but strong arms catch me. I look up at those grey eyes I’ve been missing all week.
He lets me go when I have my balance back, “What are you doing here Ana”?
“I needed to talk to you”, I say.
“Where are your bodyguards? Shouldn’t you be attached to their hip”, he says walking past me to his room.
Great he’s still angry. I follow him to his door, “Eric”, I put my hand on his forearm as he puts his key in the door and he looks at me, “please let me explain”.
He doesn’t say anything just pushes his door open and steps in and I expect it to close immediately but to my relief he doesn’t and I go in. I watch as he immediately goes into the kitchen. I sigh and follow him and I stop to lean against the doorway while he starts washing up dishes he apparently didn’t get to. I can see the tension in his muscles as he works.
“I’m sorry”, I say and he immediately stops what he’s doing and turns around.
“I’m sorry”, I say and he immediately stops what he’s doing and turns around.
I’m surprised by the anger I see in his eyes, “For what”?
“For making you angry with me”, I say.
He rolls his eyes and moves towards me, “Why would you promise them that you would stay away from me”.
I look away from him, “I’ve never done this before and they felt I was rushing in to it. I felt we were rushing. That night was my first kiss and before they knocked the next morning I can’t say that I wouldn’t have done something I would have regretted the moment it ended. I was letting my body take control and I’m not ready to go there”.
I refused to look at him and I knew my face was bright red so I was surprised when his hand was on my chin tilting my head up to look at him.
He was smiling, “I was really your first kiss? So you’ve never kissed anyone else”?
“Well, almost”, I tell him.
“Almost”, he asks raising an eyebrow.
“When I was on my way here I ran into Alexander”, he had a questioning look on his face, “the other transfer from Amity. I knew back there he liked me and tried to stay away from him and I hoped since Cayla; another transfer, liked him he would leave me alone but I guess I thought wrong. He kind of grabbed me and kissed me and when I finally got him to let go I told him I didn’t like him like that. I don’t think he really listened though”.
“Why do you think he didn’t listen”, Eric asks and I can see him getting angry again.
“He said he just knew I liked him and to get him to go away I kind of said I needed to think about everything”, he let go of me.
“Why would you tell him that? He’s gonna think he actually has a chance”, Eric says.
“He wasn’t going to take no right then I just needed some time to think”, suddenly his eyes snapped to mine.
“What do you mean he wasn’t going to take no for an answer”, I stepped back at the anger in his eyes. He closed his eyes and when he opened them he was calmer and he reached out cupping my face in one hand, “I’m sorry I’m not angry with you”.
“When I first came up here and when I apologized you seemed pretty angry with me”, I say.
“I didn’t get why you felt the need to stay away from me. I thought things were going great and then it just threw me that you would want to stay away from me. I have to admit that I’m not used to it”, he tells me as he pulls me into his arms.
“I think that last part is why they want me to stay away from you. They’re like family and they want to protect me. I really like you though and I want to at least try and see where this goes”, I reply wrapping my arms around him. “I just need this to go slow”.
He smiled and I leaned my head against his chest, “We’ll go as slow as you need”.
“What were you planning to do tonight”, I ask him.
“Well I was gonna stay in and mope”, he says.
I pull back, “Somehow I doubt that”.
He smiled, “I was gonna get a tattoo I’m supposed to be there soon”.
“What are you getting”?
“I’m not really sure I usually just let Liam do whatever he wants. I just know he’s gonna work on my side”.
“So”, I run my eyes over his chest, “you’ll be shirtless then”. He nods, “Can I come watch”?
“Why would you want to come watch”, he asked confused.
I tilt my head to the side and run my hand over the tattoos on his neck one at a time while he stares at me, “I love tattoos”, I pause and turn to head to the door, “and seeing you shirtless is definitely a plus”. I smirk at him.
We get to the tattoo parlor quickly and thankfully Liam isn’t busy so he gets to work quickly. I just sit by him and watch as the skin on his side turns black. I stare as the lines flow across his skin and begins to take the shape of lake surrounded by trees at night. I notice Eric starting to wince as the needle moves up over his ribs.
“Is it bad”, I ask him.
“Just some spots” he says. “Though nothing I can’t handle”, he smirks.
I smile and shake my head and scoot my chair closer, “So, how far down do these go”, I ask as I run my fingers over the tattoos on his chest and stomach. I smirk when I see that each muscle tenses as my fingers touch his skin.
“Maybe one day you’ll find out”, he cocks his eyebrow at me as my hand reaches the top of his pants.
I blush lightly and pull my hand back but he surprises me when he catches my hand and brings it to his mouth and presses a kiss to the back of it. Rather than letting go we hold hands while Liam works on the tattoo talking about nothing in particular. Looking up when I hear someone cough I see Kristopher standing just behind Liam.
“Made up your mind then”, he asks.
I look at Eric and reply, “Yeah, I know how you all feel I just have to give this a chance”.
Kristopher is smiling when I look up, “Actually I think you two would be good together. I just wanted to make sure that this was what you really wanted”. He then looked at Eric, “And if you hurt her I won’t be responsible for what I do”.
Eric nods and Kristopher walks away, “I think he likes you better than me”.
“Of course he does I’m awesome” I tell him and he laughs.
We sit in silence while Liam puts the finishing touches on Eric’s tattoo and I can definitely say it looks amazing. Once it’s covered and against my suggestions has his shirt back on we head out and towards the cafeteria for dinner.
Before we get there I stop him, “Maybe we could have dinner in your room I’ll cook”.
“You cook”, he asks.
“I love to cook”, with that we change direction and head back to his room.
I go straight to the kitchen to see what he has. I find the ingredients to make fettuccine alfredo and get started by putting some water on to boil and make quick work of putting the meal together. When I finish I put some into a couple bowls and join Eric on the couch where he spent the time reading while I cooked.
“This is really good”, he says after his first bite and digs into the pasta.
“Thanks”, we finish eating quickly and I move closer to him on the couch and lean against his side. “Will you read to me”, I ask him.
“Why”, he asks as he pulls me closer into his side.
“I like to hear you talk”, I reply and he grabs the book he was reading before dinner back out and starts reading to me. I close my eyes and move so I’m lying on the couch using his thigh as a pillow and let his voice drift over me.
I’m not sure when I fell asleep but it’s still dark when I wake up on Eric’s couch with the same comforter and pillow from the night before. I smile and fall back to sleep quickly.
