Ashton's P.O.V.
After telling him we had to set some rules, he lead me upstairs to his room with a confused look on his face. I felt scared and uncomfortable in his room, but my wolf was at peace being surronded by his scent, which made me even more uncomfortable. He motioned for me to sit down next to him on his large bed, which was obviously big enough for two.
I only shook my head no. Instead, I stood awkwardly in the middle of the room. "So, what do you mean by rules?" He suddenly asked, breaking the silence. I took a deep breath and began my explanation.
"I mean setting boundaries. One, no touching." I said, scratching my shoulder nervously. Touching was very bad for my anxiety. I looked up to see his face full of shock.
"My wolf will go crazy! So will yours!" Lukas stood up, his face flushed with disbelief. I picked at the scabs on my shoulder, still scratching, and looked back down.
"No touching." I repeated, causing him to sigh deeply. "Please, Ashton." He said and I felt his hand caressing my right cheek softly. I gasped and backed away, my body shaking with fear.
He looked confused and stepped closer, suddenly bringing me into his strong arms. "Listen, Ashton. I need these touches. We need these touches. Our wolves especially. I promise I wont take it any farther than this, we will wait until you're ready. Okay?" Lukas told me, his voice in a low, calming tone.
Oodly enough, the feeling of his arms around me didnt startle me. Nor did it scare me. In fact, it calmed me. And that's what scared me.
I couldn't trust my voice right then and nodded, continuing with my rules. "No yelling, or mean words." I say, him agreeing immediately. "Go on, I'm listening." He says, sitting on the bed, and holding me on his lap gently.
"I won't shower with you, or change in front of you. And you cant ask me about any time before I moved here." I finish, looking up to stare in his eyes nervously. He seemed very conflicted before sighing. "Fine, but I know one day you will become comfortable enough with me to share these things." He says, talking like he knows everything about me.
I rolled my eyes and yawned as I felt myself being lowered onto the bed and having Lukas cuddle me from behind. My wolf purred, and strangely, I fell asleep within seconds.
