Already Taken

Chapter Fifteen

"Are you sure about this?" Draven asked Eryn for probably the hundredth time.

  "Please don't ask me again, or I will beat you over the head and blame it on my hormones. Yes, I want to go back to Florida with you. I want to be with you for the rest of my life."

  Draven pulled her into a hug and kissed her. He was glad that she had believed him. And was very grateful that her parents had dinner with them the night before. They were skeptical at first, but by the end of the meal he had their blessings.

   His only reservations was the look in Eryn's eyes yesterday while they were having lunch. He felt like she was up to something,  but she wouldn't admit to anything.

  "I was just making sure that this is what you want. I don't want you to feel like I'm forcing you to go back with me. I will give up my position to Alex and move here, if that is what you really want." Draven told her, looking in her eyes.

  "Stop saying that! I would never ask you to do that. We will go back and start our lives, in your apartment."

"Great, Terri already wants my blood. I'm sure that she's going to love the idea of you moving out to live with me." He rolled his eyes.

   Eryn laughed at him and climbed into the truck. "She will be ok. At least I'm only upstairs now, and not in Ohio." She turned around to look out the back window. "Thank you again for renting a trailer to get my car back. I really didn't mind driving back though."

  He linked their fingers and kissed hers. "I know that you didn't,  but I wanted you to ride with me. Let's go see if Tabby and Devlin are ready to head out."

  "I still can't believe that Tabitha Lackett is a wolf. I've known that girl, pretty much my whole life." Eryn said leaning her head back and closing her eyes.

   Draven chuckled,  "Yeah, we're pretty good at hiding it."

  "Mhm."

   "So little brother, how does it feel to have your sound bound to another?" Draven asked, while the girls had gone to the ladies room before their food arrived.

  "It's truly the greatest feeling ever." Devlin said smiling.

  "I bet that it is. I can't wait for the baby to be born so that I can know that feeling first hand. I can't believe that I'm the oldest and the last one to do the binding ceremony." He whined slightly.

  "Cheer up man. At least you found yours and didn't have to wait, like Nana did."

  "That's true."

  "So Tabby and I were talking, and we think that we should get a couple of motel rooms for the night." Eryn said as her and Tabitha sat back down.

  "I like the sounds of that." Devlin replied,  wiggling his eyebrows at his other half.

  She smacked his arm, laughing. "Wow, I wasn't even thinking about that. You told me that the way up here wasn't a great road trip. So we were thinking that we could stop in Georgia near the theme park, and spend the day there tomorrow."

  "Yeah, that sounds great!" Devlin exclaimed.

  "Are you going to be ok with that?" Draven turned to Eryn.

  "Yeah, why wouldn't it be? I love amusement parks." Eryn answered perplexed.

  "But you're not going to be able to ride any of the rides?" He explained his point.

  "Oh. I didn't even think about that. It will be fine. They have a lazy river and other water activities that I can do. It will be fun!"

  Draven felt his heart swell with love when he seen the excitement shining in her eyes over such a simple thing.

  "I could stay here with you for forever." Eryn mumbled sleepily as her and Draven floated down the lazy river.

  "Mmm, me too." He pulled her closer and kissed her temple. Rubbing her belly.

  "I'm so glad that you came after me Draven. As soon as I left Florida, I felt like I had left a piece of myself behind. I didn't really understand it, but I figured that it had something to do with what you told me. I barely even know you, but I feel as though I can't live without you. I know that I don't feel it as strong as you, but I feel it. I love you." She told him giving him a kiss.

  "I love you too." He said, returning the kiss.
