The Travelers Wish (The Wattys 2016)

Chapter 43

He squirmed holding his hands awkwardly out beside him, not sure what to do.

Did I just cross a line?

Shock registered on his face.

Embarrassed I pulled back.

"I'm sorry.."

I apologized , stepping back.

He gulped, and caught his breath, and soon a cocky grin was plastered to his face.

"I'm not!"

He grabbed my arms and jerked me to his chest.

He held me tight, pinning me against him, tucking my head under his chin in a simple embrace.

He just held me.

He closed his eyes, sighing.

Being held by him was amazing.

My pounding heart began to relax, and I snaked my arms around his back.

"If anyone should be sorry it's me, Iv never done this before, you just caught me off guard, that's all."

He said through a smile.

Man he put off a lot of body heat as a human.

Way different then his partly cold blooded mutant form, which though put off some heat, wasn't exactly warm.

I snuggled into his chest.

He smelled amazing.

Like rausin, hair gel and of course pizza.

"Don't worry, ill go easy on you."

I teased.

"You better not, easy aint half as fun."

He laughed pulling me back to look him in the eyes, our lips just inches away.

"Lets try that again, shall we?"

He said gently.

I nodded.

He leaned in and ever so lightly planted a soft kiss on my lips.

He pulled back smiling madly, like he'd just accomplished an impossibly daunting task.

He did a small fist pump using only his wrist.

"What was that for?"

I asked curiously.

"Ohh nothing, just first one of my brothers to kiss a girl."

I playfully rolled my eyes.

"If you'd call that a kiss."

I stood up on my toes and kissed him hard, teasing his lower lip with my teeth.

I pulled back, and his facial expression looked like he was on ecstasy.

Not that Iv ever seen any one on ecstasy, I'm just assuming that is what they would look like.

Soon a wry mischievous smile was on his face.

His hands found there way to my waist, gripping it tight.

"You know that whole see then learn thing, you do that was passed on to me and my brothers?"

He quickly turned, moving me so I was the one pressed against the wall.

He grabbed my hands, holding them above my head.

"This should be fun."

Learning instantly he kissed me hard.

Harder then I had kissed him, and this time I returned the kiss.

I tried to put my arms down, but he held them there.

Oh, 2 can play at this game.

He may have strength but Iv got experience.

I began placing small quick kisses on his lips, then began trailing them to his cheek, down his neck, kissing each spot harder and harder till I reached his collar bone, I gently teased the spot with my mouth.

I felt him shudder and moan quietly, dropping my hands to wrap his own around my waist, pulling me any closer and I'd probably stop breathing.

He kissed me again, this time more passionate, he mimicked my movements and soon we were having an all out tongue war, my hands running through his hair.

Panting he pulled me against his chest again.

kissing my head, he muffled into my hair.

"That was amazing, how did you learn to do all that with your mouth?!"

"Well, douchebag or not, my ex did teach me a couple things, make out wise anyways."

I laughed into his shoulder.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN PLEASE RETURN TO YOUR SEATS, THE SECOND HALF OF THE CIRCUS, WILL BEGIN MOMENTARILY."

The ringmasters voice echoed everywhere.

"Well that's our que Romeo."

I said pulling out of his embrace and slipping my arm around his.

"Time to go get ready for Finale."

I pulled towards the exit door.

"And lets not tell your family about this just yet ok? When the time is right we will tell them."

We made our way past the dressing room when a voice called out from behind me.

"Well Cousin, A catcher?

I took you for more of a flyer type."

My arm still linked with Raphs we turned to face my brother, who was seated on a large wooden crate, tapping rausin onto his shoes, preparing for his High Wire act.

He was talking about me and Raphael, he must think he's my boyfriend.

Is he?

"Oh no Felix, Catchers are where it's at."

I smiled up at Raph.

"It's all in the Arms."

I winked at my brother, tapping my "man" on his well built arms.
