Trying Not To Love You ~ JHTBY Book II

10. 'Abilities'

I glanced over my shoulder and looked around the living room. The coast is clear.

I crept from behind the corner and started slowly making my way towards the door. Just as I had my hand on the door knob, two arms shot out of nowhere and jerked me into a strong chest. By the sparks that ignited, I knew it was Gaige.

"Uh uh uh..." He whispered into my ear and I involuntarily shivered. "You should know by now that I'll catch you every time, babydoll."

"I know," I huffed, crossing my arms and pouting. Gaige kissed my pout and sat us down on the couch pulling a blanket over us, laughing.

"Oh, don't pout Aria. It'll be over soon," Gaige said and I chose to ignore him. It had been almost two days since we mated and Gaige made good on that promise he made to my dad. He hasn't let me out of his sight...quite literally! I can barely even go to the bathroom without him standing outside the door. Oh and forget about school - not that I'm complaining about that - but it's damn frustrating!

Three times already - four now - I had tried sneaking out of the house to do something other than sitting on the couch watching made-for-T.V. movies and DVD's. God knows that I love Gaige and I know he is trying to protect me...but he could ease up a little.

A few minutes passed and Gaige sighed. "Aria, I know it's boring stuck in this house, but babe, I'm just trying to keep you safe. I don't know what I would do without you, babydoll," he said and kissed my shoulder.

"I know, Gaige. I'm sorry that I've been acting this way...it's just....I don't know. I'm bored as hell!"

He laughed at me and smiled. "I know." He leaned in and kissed me on the lips. Suddenly - and I have no idea what came over me - I grabbed his face and held him to me. I bit at his lip and he groaned into my mouth.

I straddled him and pushed him back on the couch. His tongue delved into my mouth and massaged mine. I moaned and started to grind my hips into his. He growled when I started kissing his neck. His hands roamed around my body and traced around the edge of my lacy underwear. His hand slowly slipped in and massaged me; rubbing me and slowly pumping his fingers in and out, in and out.

I moaned and tightened around his fingers, screaming when I hit my climax. As I slowly rode it out I reached down his basketball shorts and gripped his hardness. I rubbed up and down, increasing my pace over time. As I did, I looked into his eyes and smirked evilly when he came into my hand. I licked my hand clean and fell on top of him, breathing in his scent.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my head. "Well that escalated quickly."

I laughed and nodded. "Yeah. I don't know what came over me," I said.

"Who gives a damn," he said and I laughed again.

"...Gaige....Gaige....Gaige," I said, repeatedly poking at his sleeping face. He groaned, tightening his arms around my waist. I rolled my eyes, then an evil idea popped into my head. "Gaige I'm pregnant!"

That did the trick.

Gaige shot up off of the couch and went tumbling to the floor. I stared at his confused face and burst out laughing. He growled at me. "That's not funny, Aria," he said glaring at me half playfully.

"It so was," I said through laughter. He reached up, pulling me down next to him and started tickling me.

"Oh, was it?" I nodded, still laughing. "Well we'll see," he said and tickled me harder.

"Ahhh! Ok ok it wasn't funny," I choked out and he stopped.

"That's what I thought, babydoll."

I calmed my breathing and stood up. "You hungry? Cause I am," I said walking to the kitchen. I stood on my tip-toes looking through the top cabinets, reaching for a bowl. Gaige then came up behind me and handed me the bowl I was reaching for. "Thank you," I said and kissed him lightly.
