I am Not That Strong

***Alexei's POV***

Fucking, sexy, little tease. Christ alone. Lend me your strength.

Gavin is driving me crazy. Here I am, trying, my best, to show him how much I want to have an actual connection with him. Can he let me? No!

"Ready." I heavily pant out. At this rate, I will have calluses by the time we reach New York. I slide on my shoes while grabbing the keys.

"Hold on." Gavin runs into the bathroom. I watch as he applies the cherry lip balm to his lips. He is going to need that. I plan on making those lips plump as peaches later.

I am strong. I am willing to wait. But, if this little succubus keeps teasing me, I might fail. Believe me, I am not THAT strong. I want him.

Gavin and I enter the elevator. I make sure to stay as close as possible without smothering him. I do not want to run him off. I have a habit of being clingy. It is definitely a flaw.

I scan each person as they join us on the elevator. Thankfully, this is a busy hotel. I end up behind Gavin with his hips nestled nicely between my hands. I take the opportunity to slide my hands down into his pockets, pulling him against me, for his protection.

"Where are we going?" Gavin whispers from below me. I stare down at him, in wonder. How is he so devastatingly handsome. His cherub lips sit pressed together lightly. They are kissable. I want to taste them.

"Italian food." I whisper back without emotion.

"Surprise." Gavin giggles as if we just shared a joke. It's Italy, what do you expect?

I, politely, hold on to Gavin as everyone else steps off of the elevator. I am eager to get out of the tin box, but I also like to make sure that no one rubs up against my little nurse. He is mine.

Once we walk out of the hotel, I grab Gavin's hand. This is a date. I want to make sure he feels like he is the center of my attention.

"You look very nice." I talk to Gavin as we walk down the sidewalk. 

"Thank you. I tried." Gavin smiles at me letting his dimples tuck into his cheeks. He is pure magic.

Gavin points to sites that I have not been able to see before. Being stuck in a hospital room lends no room for being a tourist. During this visit, we were only focused on Seb's health. Now that he is going in a good direction, I can afford to take in the view. Although, I will say, the best view is standing beside me. Gavin nestles under my arm as if he knows he belongs there.

"I'm ordering pizza." Gavin announces abruptly. He can have whatever he likes. It makes no difference to me.

"Sure." I agree quickly.

"With garlic. And onions. You aren't allergic to anchovies, are you?" I swear I hear a snicker in Gavin's voice as he makes my stomach roll. That's fucking hideous. He is a monster.

"Allergic? No. I do prefer not to taste that rancid concoction on your breath all night." I admit sternly. Have mercy on me, for the love of god.

"Oh, I didn't know you had any intentions of tasting me." Gavin snarkily snaps back.

This fucking guy! 

"Not if you load your breath with garbage, I don't." The threat is really just an appeal to his greater senses. Truth be told, I'm going to eat that ass one day and I don't actually care if his mouth tastes like a vile combination of aromatics and fish. It wouldn't stop me. But I do prefer his generally sweet scent to that of rancid sea water.
