Scarlet's Mate

Part Nineteen

My mouth drops open, move in with him?  He wants me to actually move in with him?  I close my mouth and stare into his golden eyes, they're staring back at me waiting for me to say yes.  I want to, I do, I would love to be near Elliot all the time.  But my grandma would never let me do that, especially if I told her about the attack.

"Elliot," I start but he covers my mouth with his finger stopping me.

"Before you say no, it doesn't have to be today.  We can wait a couple weeks.  It would be so much easier to make sure you're safe if I'm with you all the time.  I will never let anything else happen to you Scarlet, no matter what you decide.  But just think about it," he drops his hands and smiles down at me.

"Okay," is all I can say.

"Okay?"  Elliot questions.

"Yes, okay, I'll move in with you, but I have to talk to my grandma about it.  Depending on what she says will determine when we can do it.  I turn 18 in about 8 weeks so, after that she won't have a say anymore," I shrugged.

Elliot grabs me by the waist and picks me up, swinging me around.  We both are laughing as he sets me back down, "it will be amazing!"  He promises.

I look at him and smile, I don't know how I got so lucky to have been matched with someone as amazing as Elliot.  Derek cleared his throat, "do you guys want some alone time?"

I had completely forgotten about Rayne and Derek, I look over smiling apologetically towards them, "you guys don't have to go if you don't want to."

"No, it's totally fine!  It will give us a chance to get to know each other better," Rayne smiled over at Derek then turned and walked towards me, "call me, or text me if you need anything," she gave me a quick hug then gathered her things.

"Same here," Derek walked over and gently patted me on the head, "take it easy killer."

He then went over to Rayne and they started to discuss where they were going to go as they headed out the door. 

Elliot grabs my hand and I follow him as he leads me to my room.  He sits down on my bed, "can I see them?"

He gestures to my stomach.  My heart races at the thought of taking off my shirt in front of Elliot, not only am I anxious about his reaction, but also because I'm not wearing a bra.  I hesitate for a moment then go to close my bedroom door.  I'm about to grab the bottom of my shirt when I see my window out the corner of my eye.

I walk over and yank the curtains shut, the room suddenly becomes darker, I stumble over to the desk and am about to turn on the lamp when Elliot speaks out, "another wolf thing, I have excellent vision, I can see almost as easily in the dark as I can in the light.  So if you're more comfortable with the light off, that's okay."

I drop my hand, my vision becomes slightly adjusted to the dark, just enough that I can see shapes and avoid walking into them.  I make my way back to where I started.  I hesitantly reach for my shirt and slowly take it off.  I drop it to the floor and just stand still.  Elliot controlled his reaction, not making any noise. 

He stands up and slowly reaches out for me, he pulls me closer to him and sits back down.  I stand awkwardly, not really sure what to do with myself.  His hand starts to gently trace the bite marks on my stomach.  I gasp when he reaches the ones on my breast, his touch was gentle but still sent electricity through me.

I wrap my arms around his neck and press myself to him, I hungrily slam my lips against his.  He reaches behind my back then lays down, pulling me on top of him.  I straddle his body and lightly move my hips back and forth as I kiss him.  He breathes out a groan and flips us so he's on top of me.
