Surging Desire || CullensxOc

"You're only going to get colder holding onto me" I chuckled running my fingers through Ezra's shoulder length hair. He sighs in comfort, only to snuggle closer to me. His eyes are droopy as he fights to stay awake, trying to listen to the stories from the covens.

All of us are sitting around a fire in the woods, made by Benjamin himself. The male showing off his amazing elemental powers. It's snowing something fierce, and to some it's freezing. The pack are all in their tents sleeping while the rest of us keep watch. Lilith and Ezra choose to stay up a little longer before they go to bed. Though Ezra was fighting to stay awake, I think he liked all of us too much to miss out on what we are doing. Although it wasn't much. The covens were telling stories about the wars they fought in and their lives. Albeit entertaining, I was never one for history.

"Good luck getting him to stop. He's like a leech" Lilith adds watching us with a small smile on her lips.

"M'pretty leech" Ezra slurs rubbing his face to try and wake up. The man is so pretty like this; taking comfort in me and relying on me to take care of him in his most exposed moment. I like that he trusted me, that he felt he could confide in me. I would go above and beyond to make sure he was okay.

"So pretty" I giggled.

I lightly nudge the man, when he looks at me I motion to his tent. A sigh leaves his mouth as he stands up and I grab his arm to move him that way. Ezra follows me in and I help him get relaxed in the sleeping bag. He keeps ahold of my hand as he quickly slips away, his eyes closing and his breathing slowed down. Once I knew he was dead to the world I kissed his cheek and left the tent, zipping it up.

"Hey," Esme greets, "You feeling alright?" She asked. I knew what she meant. Tomorrow was the day we could win or loose. And I don't plan to be the group that doesn't win.

My arms circle around the woman as I hug her tightly from behind. My chin resting on her shoulder, as I push her hair to the side. Placing a delicate kiss on her neck as I inhale her sweet scent.

"We'll be just fine" I promised.

"I think I'm more worried about them," I motioned to Benjamin and Tia. The two were cuddling with Tia on his lap.

Esme cranes her neck to look back at me. "They'll be okay sweetheart. I know you're worried due to Amuns departure with Kebi. But everything will go the way it should."

"And tomorrow?" I asked.

"Well, tomorrow we'll do everything we can to avoid a fight" she replied back.

"Unless someone has a trick up their selve I don't know about that, there will be a fight," I explained, "That's what we have all been practicing so hard for. Because deep down we all know this will end in losses."

"Tomorrow is tomorrow" Esme softly whispers pressing a kiss to my eyelids once she turned around. I just grin and shook my head, I knew it was better not to argue with the woman. Even if she looked hot when arguing back!

Lilith appears in front of us drawing our attention. "Hey sorry to interrupt," she apologized, "But can I talk to you for a moment?"

"I'll leave you to it" Esme said leaving the two of us alone. I follow behind my birth mother as she leads us to the end of our camp. A decent way from the others as they spoke quietly.
