Secrets of the Moon

12

My body feels super hot, like very hot.

Why do I feel like I am on fire right now? What is wrong with me?

My eyes slowly open to peek through the blinding sun beams shining toward my face. I try to turn away from the rays but am stuck in place by a strong force.

"Hmmm, good morning."

A shiver runs down my back as I feel a slight kiss on the back of my neck.

I turn my head to see Ethan laying down beside me on the bed.

"What are you doing here? How did I get home last night?"

"I drove you home in your car. You were so tired, I didn't have the heart to wake you up. I carried you up the stairs and laid you down on your bed. I was going to leave so you could sleep peacefully but you grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go so I had no choice but to stay."

"Did I really not let you leave last night?"

"Yeah, you even told me not to leave. Why is that a bad thing? Am I not allowed to stay the night with my beautiful girlfriend?"

His arms tighten around my waist as he kisses the back of my neck again. A warm feeling creeps up my stomach as I try to resist and fall into his temptation.

"Ethan, please don't . You are making it very hard for me right now."

He laughs, "I highly doubt that. I know something that is even harder if you are interested to know."

My face turns red as I realize the meaning behind his words.

"Don't say things like that ever again, it is too improper to say those things out loud."

"It's just the two of us here so I think it is okay."

His arms loosen their grasp around my waist for me to be able to turn around and face him. His lips immediately press against mine as I try to find my breath. I pull away from his kiss and try to push him away from me a little. His lips continue their torture down my neck to my chest.

"Ethan, we shouldn't do this. We need to get ready to go to the shoot for today."

"Can't we just stay a little bit longer like this? You know you want to," he whispers against my skin.

I take a deep breath and try to compose my voice as much as I can.

"I wish we could but we really need to get ready to go now."

I feel him sigh as he reluctantly pulls away from me and climbs out of the bed. He walks over to a duffel bag that is laying on the floor and pulls out some clothes.

"Since when did you have a bag of your clothes here at my house?"

He smiles, "I figured I would need them since you didn't let me leave last night. I had a friend bring them over to me."

"A friend? What friend? Do I know them?"

"No not yet anyways. I just asked someone from the pack to bring me a bag of my clothes since I wasn't able to go back home last night."

"Oh I'm sorry I made you stay."

"It's okay, I don't mind at all."

"By the way, when can I meet your friends or the rest of your family?"

"You want to meet the rest of my family," Ethan asks with surprise.

"Yeah if that is okay with you."

"You won't be afraid to meet them even though they are also wolves?"
