Chapter 22

 We walked down into Rory's bedroom. I curled up on his bed as he started shoving clothes in a duffel bag.

"I hope your Aunt comes. It'll be like a big house party" I smiled.

Rory shook his head at me without smiling. "I hope she comes for Shawn and Jolie's sake."

"I know" I said soberly. "Do you think their bond is as strong as ours?" I had been thinking about this lately. I might have been  presumptuous in thinking that Rory and my relationship was better than theirs, but it seemed as if ours was stronger somehow. We had known each other the same amount of time, yet ours was more in some way.

"I think it's because we slept together. It made our bond stronger in a way, solidified it more."

"Yeah" I agreed. It sounded right. I wondered how his mom left his dad. I wasn't going to bring it up, but I couldn't imagine leaving Rory, or the pain that it would cause me. He was perfect for me in so many ways. I loved him so much. It didn't matter that I was only seventeen, I would want him forever; until the end of time.

I focused on Rory again as I came out of my thoughts. He was staring at me with an unfathomable look in his eyes. I automatically searched him, smiling to myself, glad that it was finally coming naturally to me. I felt like a freight train hit me with the love that was coming from him.

He swiftly walked over and laid down on top of me. "Thank you" he said nuzzling my neck.

"For what?" I asked.

"For wanting me." He didn't let me respond as his lips crashed down onto mine. Heat flooded my body as I pulled his shirt off. I rubbed my hands over his hard chest and abs. He put his hand under my shirt. I pulled my legs up and wrapped them around his legs. His tongue traced my lips as I let out a tiny whimper of pleasure. He pulled his head away but I lifted mine up and held onto his neck so I could kiss him again. My tongue slid over his and I pushed my hips into him.

"Okay, stop" he said breathlessly, pushing himself up by the arms. I clung to him still with my arms and legs around him. I kissed along his jaw before he pushed me off of him.

I pouted.

"I don't think I'll be allowed to stay at your house if I can't keep my hands off of you." He glanced down at my bare stomach. "Oh god, why do you torture me." He grabbed his shirt from the bed and walked out of his room.

A huge smile spread on my face. I couldn't wait until he came to my house. It would be fun torturing him.

Rory came back into his room with his toothbrush. "Come on" he said as he tried to not look at me.

I laughed at him. "What's wrong Rory?"I asked, walking over to him.

"Your turning me on right now and it's torture" he whispered.

I held in another laugh. This was going to be so much fun. I stood on the tips of my toes and grazed my lips down the edge of his jaw.

He grabbed my forearm. "Please, stop" he pleaded.

"Okay" I said lightly. I swayed my hips as I walked past him and up the steps.

He growled behind me and I laughed again.

Shawn and Jolie were coming down the hall from Shawn's room. I linked my arm through Jolie's as we walked into the kitchen.

"We need to do this for our children" Nana was saying.

"I know, but I'm a grown woman do you understand how I feel?" Camilia asked.

"I do. Just think of it as some serious family time" Nana smiled. "Obviously our families are joined now." She gestured to Rory, Shawn, Jolie and I.
