Are you okay?

Chapter 48

Evangeline

"come here" he nodded and grabbed my hand, pulling me towards him.

"no, we need to go, there's only an hour left before midnight" I whined whilst trying to get us back to the door.

"it won't take long, come here" he insisted.

I gave in and let him bring me to where he had been standing.
"just do what I say, okay?"

"okay" I look at him concerned

He positioned me in front of him, both his hands on my hips to keep me pressed against him.
"don't be scared" he whispered

He pulled his gun out, which had clearly been in his back pocket the whole time we'd been talking. He didn't say anything as he placed it in my hands. I'd never held one and I think that was pretty obvious to him.
"you need to learn how to use it, in case one day I can't"

I hated when he said things like that.

His hands now lay over mine and both his legs where tight against my side.
"bring it up and aim - look at where you want to hit" he raised my hands up, with the gun still tight in my grip.

"where do I want to hit?" I glance back at him to see an amused expression on his face.
In my opinion, that was a valid question.

"just aim for the box," he pointed.

I nodded in acknowledgment

"and when you're ready pull the trigger" his voice had sent tingling sensations all over me.

Now is not the time, however.

I looked at the box across from us. It sat there innocently minding its business and here I was about to injure it.

"you can do it"

I position it right in front of my line of view, his hands where still placed over mine.
"there?" I question

"pull the trigger and we'll see"

That wasn't much help.

I took a deep breath in and did as he told me too, even though it was terrifying.
I didn't like the power these things possessed at all.

"you did it" he almost seemed relieved, I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

I open my eyes to see, in fact I had done it.
Go me!

"okay one more time" he let go of me and stood back. I instantly felt the cold surround me once again. It was unpleasant.

"no, no, no" I began to sputter as I watched him back away from me.

"you'll be fine" he laughed, pushing me back, "just do that exactly again"

I let out a deep breath before turning back around to see the injured box, I had to shoot the poor thing again.

I lift the gun up again, now it felt noticeably heavier as he wasn't taking the weight for it anymore.
I took a deep breath and did exactly what I did before, however I was second guessing after every move I made.
This really wasn't suppose to be a scary thing but for me it was.

"you gotta open your eyes princess"

"I don't want to" I reply

"just do it" he laughed quietly, "rip it off like a bandaid"

I took another deep breath and finally pulled the trigger.
My body relaxed when I realised i'd done it.

"oh I did it" I grin

"don't sound so surprised Evie"he walked towards me, his heat wrapping around me once again. He took the gun and clicked a few things before placing it back in his pocket.

I genuinely hope I never have to touch that thing again. If i'm the one pulling the fucking trigger, something awful has clearly happened.

"we need to go now" I tug at his arm.

"so?" he smirked, wrapping his arms around my waist, "they don't need us"
A gleam in his eyes formed that usually had my knees buckling but I was brave and I stayed strong.

"don't look at me like that" my voice was hushed

"look at you like what?" his grin only grew bigger and my knees weaker

Stay strong Eva

"you know what you're doing" I placed my hands against him, I could feel his heart racing, i'm positive mine was doing the same.

"do I?" his lips traced along my neck and along my jaw.

I slowly let my body fall into motion with his as he pushed us up against a wall.
We were still outside and the wall was cold against my back as I was pressed against it. The cold air surrounded us, yet I didn't feel so cold anymore.

"I love you" he continuously uttered as his lips marked my body, kiss after kiss.
It was taking every part of me not to scream out but we were very much not alone.

"what if someone comes out here?" I whisper breathlessly

"they won't" he muttered as he hoisted me up. My legs wrapped around him, allowing me to hold myself up.

"you sure of that?"

I could feel the metal of his belt against my leg as he unbuckled it. My stomach did a flip as he pulled my dress up and began pulling at my underwear.

"I can be" his voice was low, "i'll fucking kill anyone who walks out that door"

My head fell back as he pushed against me. I couldn't control the sounds that escaped my lips.

"quiet baby," he hushed, "they're all trained to come running when you scream" his breathing was heavy against my skin.

I had to hold my mouth shut.

"good girl" he hummed

UGHHHH

They're was loud cheering from inside. It was midnight.
That didn't stop either of us.

"happy new year sunshine"

"happy new year angel" I breathed as his lips met mine.

~~~~

"where the hell where you two?" Jax looked up at us as we walked back in. He seemed mildly pissed.

Nathan waved him off, ignoring him completely.
"Happy new year to you too then Nathaniel" Jax huffed and took another sip of his drink.

I made my way, slowly, to Mila, who was grinning on the floor.
I slid down beside her but winced as I hit the floor.
"Oh shit" she giggled

"shut up" I glare at her, but that only caused her to laugh harder.

"you can't even sit" she wheezed

"it is not funny" I say through gritted teeth.

I caught the amused look on Nate's face from across the room. Glad he could still walk and sit comfortably after he rearranged my insides.

"he fucked you right through to the new year"

That he did.
