More Than Human

Chapter 78

Hugging my knees to my chest I sat staring out the window down onto the gravel driveway. There was a couple of the pack members down at the gates keeping guard. Daniel was out there but he'd disappeared inside the house a while ago. Hearing the bedroom door click open signalled him coming to see me. He stepped round the bookcase and sat beside me. "They all know their orders," he hesitated reaching out for my hand. I didn't know what to say, well it was more I didn't know how to bring up the phone call I'd just had. "What's on your mind?" He asked.
I let my knees go and stood up "we have three days till the end." I had been referring to the night I could be used as a key to hell as the end, more because I was trying to think of it as the end to the dread inside me than that they'd actually manage to do it.
"Okay we are as prepared as we can be," he knew I was anxious and I knew he was too. We were making each other more anxious. "Wait here," he jumped up and jogged out of the room and down the stairs. A few moments later he was back with two bottles of cider and a large bag of Doritos. "Here," he handed me one of the bottles throwing the Doritos on the window seat. Then after opening the bottle he still had in his hands with the bottle opener on his keys we swapped bottles so he could open the second one. He took a sip while I just picked at the label turning to look out the window. "Drink," he spoke with a low growled purr. I spun back to face him grinning, then took a long sip. He closed the curtains and took the bottle from my hands placing both of them on the bedside table. As his hands slipped over my hips up to my chest he slowly removed my shirt. Once it was off he asked "how you feeling?"
I smiled "it's taken the edge off," I felt a little stupid for not thinking of this.
"Good," he pressed a kiss into my lips, a hot urgent kiss. "We are gonna manage this," we both pressed against each other. "I don't want to p..."
"You are not pushing me, I want this" as I murmured he hooked his thumbs into my jeans loops gently pulling them down. He picked me up by my bum and I hooked my legs round him then my arms over his shoulder pressing in for a kiss that seemed to last hours.
