I gasp as I look into his eyes. There is no green. They are golden. Bright. Almost glowing like an animals eyes do when a light gets shone on them.
“Do you understand me Alexia? You are mine. I want to be very clear here.” He smoothes some hair at the top of my head with one of his hands, and he lets his hand trail through the full length of it. He rests his hand on my hip and squeezes his hand a little. I am now the one who feels like I’m under a spell. One cast by him.
“Just breathe Alexia.” I take a big breath of air and exhale slowly.
“Yours?” Is all that I can manage to ask. But I am rewarded with a big smile.
“Yes mine.” He says and wraps his arms around me and I bury my face in his chest again.
I know later on I am going to wish that I had asked him to explain further what he actually meant. But right now all I can think about is the fact that Logan has just given me the best kiss of my life. I’m pretty sure, that this will be ‘that’ kiss that all others are gauged against. But I know that none will ever beat it.
A loud phone melody breaks us apart a little, he gets his phone out of his pocket, but he keeps his hand on my waist to stop me going too far.
“Yeah.....ok......yes......I’m on my way” he looks at me apologetically.
“I’m really sorry, but something has happened at home and I need to get back to help sort it out. Can I pick you up for school in the morning?” He asks whilst trailing his finger in little circles on my hip.
“Yeah ok, I’d like that.” I say a little shyly.
“Ok, well I really need to go” he says as he starts walking toward his truck, but taking my hand so I have to follow him. Just before he gets in he turns back to me and pulls me into him again and gives me a soft, closed mouth kiss on the lips.
“Promise me something?” He says looking a little worried. I scrunch my eyebrows together in confusion, wondering what he wants me to promise.
“Don’t sit out side tonight, and don’t go looking for any wolves.” What? How does he know that I sit outside?
“What...” I start to say and again I get interrupted.
“Just promise me that you will stay inside tonight.” He says again in a serious tone, and I can tell that this is something that is really important to him.
“Ok yes, I promise I’ll stay inside tonight.” Right now I would most likley agree to anything he asks. He nods his head up and down and stares at me for a while longer. I can tell he’s fighting with himself about leaving. I know he doesn’t have a great relationship with his dad, and I don’t want to be the cause of it getting any worse, so I take two steps back breaking our connection.
“Go Logan, your family needs your help. Don’t worry, I promise I’ll stay indoors. I keep my promises.” I say with a smile and continue taking small steps backwards so I don’t change my mind and ask him to spend a little more time with me instead.
He sighs and gets into his truck. He doesn’t drive off straight away though, he pulls upto the porch where I’m stood waiting to wave goodbye to him.
“Go inside and lock your door, I’ll be back in the morning. Good night Alexia.” Is it even possible that I find him even sexier when he’s acting all protective over me?
“Good night Logan.” I reply with a small wave of my fingers. I watch him start to drive down the path then turn and go inside. I notice my phone buzzing in my pocket, must be Amber checking to see if I’m ok. I take it out and realise that it must have been going off while I was with Logan and I didn’t notice.
I also didn’t notice the dark shadow hiding in the tree line. The one thats been there for a while, watching us.
Watching me.
Chapter Eleven
Myths and Legends
Logans POV
I can’t believe I’m driving away from her already. What has just happened is a big deal. I don’t think she realises how big of a big deal it actually is. No, I know she doesn’t realise. Because she doesn’t know anything of my world, apart from what she’s seen in films or read in books. She doesn’t know what it means to be mates. To be honest, I’m a werewolf and I didn’t totally get it, until I met her. I’m sure she doesn’t even think any of that stuff is real. It's all just myths and legends. That I’m just a myth.
Unfortunately for her, Alexia is now a part of it. Well, she could choose to reject me, but I’m not going to let that happen. Not now that I know what having just a little of her is like. My head is constantly clouded by her. My thoughts are always about her. What she’s doing and who’s she with.
When I’m actually with her, I can’t think straight. Its like there is this thick blanket of fog all around me. It dulls down all my senses. I involuntary tune out everything else apart from what she is saying. I find myself counting her heart beats. I love when it speeds up when she
