56- The Blood Stone

I go back to his room, opening the door I see... It's empty. So much for having a strict time limit.... though I change out of my normal clothes into one of his shirts laying on the bed with a content sigh though as soon as I do the door opens, Xaden freezes for just a second taking in what I assume what I'm wearing drinking in the sight.

I look over, " And here I thought I was going to be the one that's late." I see a small grin as he closes the door his eyes not going away from his shirt on me. " Your lucky." He responds lowly, one hand coming out to reach for the loose fabric of the shirt. " This looks good on you."

" Where were you?" 

" Talking to Garrick." He responds sitting down on the bed next to me. " About?" I question further as he leans over brushing a few stray hairs from my face. He shrugs, " I really don't remember... All I could think about was you coming to my room."

I roll my eyes not able to hide the small grin that appeared. " Yea ok... way to lay it on thick..." He smiled at me reaction and shrugged, " Can you blame me? Thinking about you... Then I come in here to you wearing my shirt and looking sexy as hell.. Distracting me..making me forget about all my thoughts?"

He snakes his arm around my waist pulling me closer, " You have no idea how much it bothered me knowing you needing to talk to him... I've just wanted to be alone with you all day." I lean on him sighing, " Well now I'm here.. and beyond tired."

He pulls me in his lap holding me close. " Me too." he says softly moving his lips to my neck placing soft kisses " Just wanting to hold you like this alllllll day. How was your little talk?"

" Eh."

" Just Eh?" He teases poking me lightly in the side. " Give me more then that."

" She's doing fine.... still hates me ofcourse. But fine."

He was quiet for a few seconds, mulling over my response before his embrace is a little tighter " She's damn stubborn, it might take awhile but she'll come around...eventually. And if she doesn't then that's her own damn problem. You just need to stop caring so much."

" I can't. We promised to Liam to protect her. I can't just leave her alone."

" You assigned Aaric to her. She'll be fine. She's not at Basgiath anymore where all those assholes would try to kill her she's with her own here. Now just relax." I feel him run his fingers softly through my hair playing with the platinum grey strands. " Your so beautiful you know that?"

I pull back looking at him whisch his eyes seem to search mine. " There you are.. I thought I had you half asleep there." Again his eyes trail down with a boyish grin. " Your driving me crazy sitting here looking like that."

" It's literally just a shirt..."

His hands drifted down to my lips tracing small circles, " But it's MY shirt. And seeing you with it... the urge just to rip it off of you.." his eyes darkened as he spoke " Just reminding me how much I love seeing you in my bed, How much I love feeling you in my arms, only for my eyes to see."
