A Nurse Among Wolves

Chapter 18: Miren

"I think I should probably warn you guys but" I stopped to take a deep breath "I've never actually dated anyone before" I finish lamely. The room was dead silent for a moment.
"WHAT!?!?" Rowan almost yelled. My face flamed as Torin leaned over and smacked the back of Rowans head.
"He doesn't mean any insult little one" Ash says, running his hand down my back "only that we are surprised that one so beautiful had never been courted before".
"Courted?" I raised an eyebrow at Ash. He seemed to have a habit of using very old fashioned terms for simply things.
Ash cleared his throat "dated, we are just surprised that you have never dated"
I shrug "no one was ever interested in me" I explain, my cheeks flaming even hotter.
"Then we will court you properly" Ash states.
"We'll court you so well!" Rowan shouted jumping up "those other guys you knew where just fools to miss a chance to be with you".
I smiled at his sincere outburst.
"Can we take it slow?" I ask, looking at each of the guys who were all smiling at me.
"Of course" Torin said "we can take this however slow you want".
"All we ask is a chance to make you happy" Roman said "even if that's just holding hands and small hugs" he finished with a blush.
"I'm not a prude!" I squeaked "I just thought we should get to know each other better before...before....before anything serious" I couldn't get more embarrassed. What was I doing! I basically just told them I wanted to have sex! I mean I did want to have sex. The moment I thought that the image of Ash, Torin, Roman and Rowan all naked kissing and worshiping my body, hard muscles rippling appeared in front of my eyes. NO! I shook my head, squeezing my thighs together trying to stop the spread of the throb that had started between them. All the sudden a rumbling came from Ash's chest. The sound was deep and soothing making me want to turn my head and show him my throat. That was an odd thought. But I did has it felt right some how. Ash nuzzled my neck and whispered in my ear "I know you aren't a prude, little one, I saw your bookshelf."
Oh dear god!!! He had see my bookshelf?? How? Wait..he had been there doing work so he really could have seen all my spicy romance novels. I had a special love for shifter romance and had taken special pride in making a display for all the books with scantily clad men on them. I buried my face in Ash's chest and his rumbling turned into what sounded suspiciously like a deep purr. It was soothing and I relaxed into his arms instantly. Magic. That was the only answer, hot guy, shredded ab magic. What the hell had I gotten myself into!
