Blinded Love

An Ending & A New Beginning

I sat on the small love seat waiting for Sterling to finish washing up. Nolan lounged on the couch while Ethan coward by the broken front door. I'm pretty sure it was just incase Sterling tried to kill him once everything was explained. Nolan looked untouched, his tousled dirty blonde hair was the only sign he was in a fight but Ethan had a few cuts and bruises here and there. I had already decided that I would spare Ethan and not tell Sterling every detail of how we met but I also decided that letting him sweat and worry is enough punishment in itself.

"Skylar!" Brody called as he entered the room stark naked.

"Brody! Clothes!" I laughed as I covered my eyes. He chuckled yet still made his way over to hug me anyways. I awkwardly sat there till Nolan spoke up.

"Back room has a second bathroom, you may wash up in there. I'll set an extra pair of clothes out." Nolan said getting up. Both boys left leaving me and Ethan alone.

"I know what I did was wrong and I know I have to pay for it, Nolan already talked with me." Ethan sighed as he fidgeted. Standing up, I made my way over to him. I watched as his Adam's apple bobbed up and down in fear. I stuck my hand out towards him. He looked down at it and raised a brow. Slowly he took my hand. I shook it twice and smiled.

"I forgive you, I mean, you ended up fighting other rogues for me so why not? I say we're even." He smiled and pulled me into a hug.

"I will never pull something like this again! I thought surely I would die tonight." This made me laugh. I pulled back just as Sterling walked in. With wet hair and clean clothes he stood there and just stared at me. As if he was trying to remember every curve, every line of my body, he stared at me. When I went to move he beat me to it. He crossed the room with a few long strides and pulled me into him only to kiss me fiercely.

I was gone for a mere day and he acts as if he hasn't seen me in years. His lips were soft yet firm, moving in sync with my own. His hands traveled up my body only to have one cup the nape of my neck and pull me closer. The other caressed my cheek softly as if he could break me at any moment. My hands had a mind of their own as well, griping at his hair as if he was my lifeline.

"I couldn't." He gasped as he broke for air.

"Couldn't? What?" I asked breathless myself. He pulled back once more to stare me in the eyes.

"I couldn't bare the thought of never seeing you again." I couldn't help but smile. He kissed me again but was interrupted by a throat clearing. I turned to see Brody and Nolan back. Ethan was awkwardly looking in the opposite direction. Heat rose to my cheeks. I hadn't even remembered them due to the distraction of Sterling.

"Explanation? We only have our half of the story." Brody said as he settled onto the couch. Nolan followed suit and took the seat beside him. Ethan kept his place while Sterling and I shared the love seat. It was small but being close to Sterling felt good, it felt right. I sighed but began to tell them my side of things.

"So after you escaped through the bathroom window how did you meet these rogues?" Brody asked. Nolan looked over to Ethan and glared. Ethan went to open his mouth but I quickly interrupted.

"Ethan was getting gas at the station and I jumped in his car when he wasn't looking. A mile down the road he must have noticed a new scent in the vehicle. Right Ethan?" I asked hoping he'd help me out.

"Yeah, I was distracted at first but when I noticed a girl in the back of my jeep I pulled over and asked her what her story was. I smelt you, the Jacob guy, and another beta on her so I just figured she knew about us." Nolan rolled his eyes but I noticed the corner of his lips rise in amusement. In that moment I realized something I hadn't before. Nolan was the older and more built version of Ethan. The blonde hair, their matching hazel eyes, and their smirks, all led me to believe that they were in fact brothers.
