Chris's POV

It's hard to keep your eyes on the road when someone so beautiful is sleeping in the passenger seat.

 Nicole. Her name, her face, her smile.......Everything about her is so captivating. I saw her chest rise and fall peacefully. Her lips quivered a bit as she shivered. Quickly, I closed the window and draped my coat over her, she relaxed a bit. Then her eyes fluttered open. God, she's here to kill me, I swear.

"Thanks," she said, pulling the coat closer to her body. I can wear this coat for the rest of my life without washing it. God, why do I sound like a teenage girl? 'Because you're in love,' my wolf answered for me. Before I could think anything more stupid, Nicole said, "Why is it taking so long? When we were going to the hotel, it took half as much time."

I smiled at her impatience. "Because ma chérie, there's been an accident and the road is closed."

"Oh. Did someone die?"

"Yes," I said, letting out a breath, "the driver of the Ford. He was drunk."

She winced a bit. "So we'll get ho-," she corrected herself, "to your house in......?."

"Thirty minutes. If there's not traffic on the main road."

"Good, let me grab a few z's till then," saying this, she shifted in the seat, rested her head back and closed her eyes. That's when I decided, I'm gonna stop playing the good boy I never was.

*****

"How was it?" Claire squealed as we entered.

"Good," I and Nicole both said at the same time. We both looked at each other with surprise.

"Oooh, sounds like you're already getting along." I didn't like the way she said "getting along". So Nicole, where do you wanna crash?"

Nicole shivered when she looked at Claire and said, "In Chris's room."

"Oh, didn't enjoy my company?" Claire asked, pretending to be offended, but i knew she was jumping with joy for me inside.

"No, it's not that. I just felt like it," she rambled.

"Okay......Take your nightdress and I'll shift the rest of the stuff in the morning."

She didn't wait for another second before getting her clothes and staggered towards my room, she must be really sleepy. I looked at Claire for explanation but she just shrugged. And I could easily tell that this was all her doing but hey, who am I to complain? I went to my room to see Nicole come out of the bathroom in her pjs. I licked my lips, Nicole saw that and glared, then blushed. She hesitantly slipped under the covers, while I changed. It was an awkward moment, even for me, though I'd bagged quite a number of girls. Maybe because this one was special, without even telling me that she wanted me too.

I pulled the covers and dipped into my bed. Then, an idea struck me, with a smirk on my face, I moved towards Nicole and draped an arm over her waist. Startled, she almost jumped in air. She tried to pull my arm off her, but in vain. “Chris, let go,” she said.

“Not a chance baby doll.”

“Chris, let go now or I’ll scream.”

“You know very well that no one’s gonna hear you. You shouldn’t have led me on without expecting this.”
