The Last of the Old Ones

Amber

Chapter Eighteen: Amber

Finally, graduation morning was here! There was no fancy ceremony or anything, but I would get the results of my final test which determined if I passed or not. It would also determine if I could finally pursue Colin or not since he was absolutely determined that he was not going to be a distraction to me amidst my schooling and testing. If we had a future together, I needed to excel in my studies because I would be filling big shoes. Colin was to take Joseph's place so if I was staying by his side, I would step into Elizabeth's position. It had been brought up a few times how I was hoped to be married to Colin before I ever had to be put in hiding. It's funny how things had progressed toward that, I didn't feel trapped with him or pressure to make that decision, but I was genuinely falling for him more and more every day. But it was more than that, it was a primal need I felt for him, I always found myself fantasizing about what he would do to me when he finally could...

Joseph cleared his throat, pulling me from my dirty thoughts, "Amber, I am proud to tell you that you have passed with flying colors."

His smile was genuine as he showed me my scores. Relief also flashed behind his eyes, he knew it was getting harder and harder to keep Colin and I focused on what we needed to be concentrating on. Apparently, when Colin and I were together there was an "aura" about us, him and Elizabeth had claimed. They said they had only ever seen it once before, around my parents. The only others of our kind they knew to be true soulmates. What that meant for us, I wasn't sure yet, but I did know we were getting tired of denying ourselves the needs we felt.

Joseph told me to take the rest of the day off and that we would discuss options for my future later next week. I immediately went to find Colin to tell him the good news. I found him in the hallway with Astrid, outside his room, they were no doubt talking about the work they had just finished up for Colin's dad but both froze as they saw me approaching.

"Well?" Astrid asked.

"I'm free from studies for now!" I smiled and raised my arms in victory. Colin let out a whoop and they both congratulated me.

"So your school studies are done, I know something else Colin wants you studying and by the look of you two, he's not going to be able to hold back much longer... I'll see you later!" Astrid giggled as she turned and walked away leaving us in his doorway. I turned fully to Colin, laughing at Astrid as he crashed his lips into mine. I laced my arms around his neck and he ran his hands down my sides to my butt. He lifted me into him and carried me backwards into his room, shutting the door behind us. In that moment, I could tell, all bets were off, he was about let every feral urge win.

Colin held me as he sat back down on his bed, keeping me in his lap. His lips only left mine to trail kisses down my neck. My head rolled back involuntarily, giving him better access as my breathing became heavier. My body felt like it was on fire, my only relief was where his lips and skin touched. His hands found the hem of my shirt and lifted it off me in one fluid movement, the air on my bare skin forming goosebumps. I pulled his lips back to mine as I ground my hips down into his lap. I ran my tongue against his lower lip, begging for his to let me in. He parted his lips, his tongue met mine then explored every inch of my mouth it could reach. The hardness I felt growing beneath me was enough to drive me mad. I moaned into the kiss, earning a growl back from him. That was enough for him to flip us on the bed, him now hoovering over me. He pulled his shirt and tossed it in the same general direction as mine. He lowered himself to me to start kissing down my neck again, hungrier this time, he kissed to the edge of my bra, I arched my back so he could dispose of it. My upper half now fully on display for him, he took a minute to admire the sight below him and I swear his mouth began to water. His hands traced up my sides to then rest where the fabric had just cupped, he leaned into my left breast first, circling my nipple with his tongue, giving a soft suck to make it hard then repeating the same to my right breast.
