My Wolf-man

Chapter 23 ~ The Mansion

"Come back out!" he called. I'd retreated back into the bathroom when Aiden grinned at me walking out in my towel. He thought I was teasing him but truthbetold I'd actually forgotten that I didn't live alone anymore.

I sighed, putting on my underwear, a pair of light blue faded jeans and a loose grey jumper.

I pushed open the bathroom door, and raced over to the bed, jumping on Aiden.

"Oof," he let out when I landed on his chest. "I didn't say come out and crush me."

"Well this is what you're gonna get. Deal with it," I replied.

"Ooh feisty," he grinned.

I rolled off him and spread myself out on the bed. Aiden hopped up and brought me the same fluffy blanket from the plane from out of the cupboard resting against the wall.

My face lit up instantly when I recognised it. "You brought it with you?"

"I knew you liked it."

"Thanks," I said with a smile. He spread it over us and I snuggled up to him.

"So how did you like my family?" he asked me finally.

"They were really nice! Your Ma is so pretty!"

"Yeah. Wolves don't age as quickly as normal humans so she's still looks quite young."

"Cool! That means I'll always stay somewhat like me and not some crippled old lady. You don't want a crippled old lady."

"You'll still be beautiful at any age Luna," he responded.

I blushed a shade of pink. "Right," I dismissed.

"I thought I'd show you our room because you looked a little uncomfortable."

"Yeah well I'm not really a people's person."

"I know you aren't," he said, kissing me on the forehead.

"But I was talking to Zander when you finally came. I didn't feel uncomfortable there."

He froze. "Well.."

"Aiden.." I prodded. Obviously I knew what the answer was, I just felt like making him say it out loud.

"Maybe I wanted to come back to the room?"

"That sounds more like a question than an answer to me," I laughed. I sat up and hovered over he top of him. "Are you sure it's not because some overprotective wolf somewhere with crystal blue eyes was a little jealous? Maybe just a tad?" I suggested with a grin.

"What! Noooo way," he dismissed, but the twinkle in his eyes clearly let him down.

"I think it might be," I grinned.

"Fine. Maybe a bit," he answered with a sigh.

"Ha!" I giggled. "And anyway, I could feel the jealousy rolling off you in waves."

"Oh could you know? Because you're top stuff at this telepathy are you?" he joked.

"Yes. As a matter of fact I am," I answered, pointing my head up to the sky.

"Prove it," he replied, plastering a determined expression across his face.

"Well I can totally tell you're in denial," I said with a  laugh.

"Hey now that's not even proper," he replied tickling my sides.

"Ahh stop," I squealed, squirming away from him. He grabbed me and pulled my back against his chest.
