Enemies or mates?

Chapter 7

Ivy's pov

He has no choice but to grip my legs or we'll both fall over. His back is pushed against the wall and my arms wrap around his neck. I push the damp hair out of his face as he glances at my lips. My cheeks heat up and I inhale deeply causing my chest to rise and fall with the motion. His eyes snap back to mine as if he just realized what he was doing. His voice his laced with malice, "Move Ivy," he says trying to push me away, but I just tighten my legs bringing us closer.

The wind from the water blows against my skin causing me to lock my jaw so that he can't notice my discomfort. "Tell me why you hate Kiowa so much and i'll move. " He continues to try to push me away from him. Instead I hold on tighter. No space is left between us and my breath hitches. The cold air bites at my skin as it becomes increasingly hard to fend off my chattering teeth.

"Tell me, " I snap and that one little sentence is all my jaw needs to start chattering. Fang notices and sighs. All the tension and anger leaves his body with that sigh.

"Okay, we can talk about this later. Right now you need to get inside before you come down with something." He once again try's to move me off him, but more gently. I shake my head fiercely. "Angel, your cold and I am not going to have this argument. I don' hate your little play toy. I just don't find it appropriate to be hanging off him in this place. "

My jaw drops at what he's insinuating and the way he says it with such detachment stings just a little more than it should. "Kiowa is not my play toy. He's my friend nothing more," I keep my voice even staring into his eyes.

"Anyone can tell that the two of you are screwing. You cuddle up to him every chance you get. I mean less than twenty minutes ago you had a water fight. We're all adults here. " I role my eyes at his jealousy.

"If we're all adults here then why are you throwing a little pissy fit over Kiowa. The only reason I can think of for it concerning you at all is if you like me. So Fang i'm only going to ask you one question. Are jealous of my friendship with Kiowa? " I smirk as shock registers on his face. But it doesn't last long as I lock my arms and clench my teeth.

Fang groans standing up out of the water as I still cling to him. He grips my exposed thighs and turns so now my back is against the rocks. I shiver as the air hits my wet skin. "I'm going to let go Ivy, and so are you. We're going to walk inside and your going to go to your room and take a warm shower so you don't get sick. In no way am I jealous of your boy toy, so I'm sorry but if that was what you were wishing to accomplish. You should know that I would've already had to have feeling for you which I don't.

"It would be nice to be friends, but I can understand if you don't want to while you have this crush on me. " I glare at him but don't let go, so he changes tactics a bit. "What if we just go to my room and after we're both warm we can continue this conversation right where we left off okay?" He no longer seems mad just concerned and maybe slightly cold himself. I sigh knowing its the best i'm going to get. It'll help considering I cant hold a conversation right now with my jaw locked tight.

We quickly climb out grabbing our towels and speed walking inside.At some point of our walk Aiden picks me up and within seconds we're in a room almost Identical to mine, but the guys clothes in a pile next a chair clearly indicate its Fang's room. He carries me to the bathroom and turns on the shower letting it heat up. The water swirls around the smooth rock bottom of shower. He turns to me where I have my arms crossed over my chest trying to cover up more than what my sheer shawl allows.

"I didn't bring any clothes with me. I think it would be better if I went to my own room. " I say and for the first time ever I feel self conscious of my body. I drop my arms anyway not wanting him to know how he makes me feel. I straighten my spine causing my shawl to drop open. His eyes drop for a millisecond but I notice which causes me to blush from head to toe. He quickly walks out of the bathroom closing the door and yelling through to tell me where the clean towels are.
