Blood and Chocolate

Chapter Four

I don't know how much time passes before Ethan stops. When I open my eyes, I realize that the city is close by. We must have gone far. My knees feel weak when I step foot off of Ethan's back and I take a moment to look around. We are in front of a hotel and, what seems to be, a small plaza. Kind of like a rest for the people that travel on ground.

My sight is blurry from crying in the run. I am exhausted and I wasn't even the one running. I gasp when I feel someone put an arm around me.

"It's just me." Ethan whispers in my ear.

It's so good to hear his voice. It immediately calms me down. "I have a situation."

I try to turn around but he stops me by clasping my shoulders down.

"I am naked." He says.

Ethan and I have never has sex. In fact, believe it or not, I am a virgin. So you can say that the bitch is all an act. This actually makes me blush a little.

I sort of laugh but nod and make my way to the plaza. I find a store and buy some khaki shorts then make my way back out. I make my way into the woods and stop, closing my eyes, "Here." I say raising my hand.

He gets them and I hear as he zips them up.

"Okay." He announces.

I open my eyes and smile at him. "Good."

He rolls his eyes at me. "Please, anyone would kill to see me naked."

I laugh. "Not this chick."

"You're telling me that my girlfriend doesn't find me attractive?"

I smile." I most definitely do."

He kisses me and then we stand there for a moment, with our foreheads touching.

"Do you think Michael's okay?" I whisper.

His arms around me tighten. "He is. I am having Daniel inform me everything."

I nod with a sigh.

"Now, lets get you some rest," he says taking my hand.

I let him pull me to the hotel where we rent a room with my credit card. I fall asleep the moment my head touches the pillow.

I look at the black Mercedes and roll my eyes at Ethan. "Did it have to be a nice car?"

He shrugs. "We needed a fast car, now let's go."

We get in the car and get on the road. After showering and eating breakfast at the hotel, Ethan knew that it was time to get going do he went to 'get' a car, or steal anyway. I have been eating more chocolate than usual. I am just too anxious, thinking about Michael all the time and I can't let my wolf take advantage of that. I just want to see Michael and make sure he's okay. I mean I am leaving the dream! On the run with my hot boyfriend! This is supposed to be exciting but it's not! I am just so worried.

I can't let myself think of all the things I made Michael go through. I just can't but I think that it will kill me to think about how much I hurt him.

"Now, we will come across other packs." Ethan interrupts my thought.

I turn to look at him questionably.

"When thy happens, be human. I will tell them you are my human mate and ask for permission to cross the territory. No matter what, you keep your human act, okay?"

I nod. "Okay."

"You are a great actress so I'm not worried about that."

This is why I love Ethan, he always finds a way to make me laugh.
