Demon: Book 1

Chapter 19: Marked as Mine

After the fireworks ended, I met up with my parents. We climbed into the car, and my dad pulled out onto the street.

"I think they had more this year," said my mother.

My father laughed. "They have more every year. In ten, we'll be there all night."

My mom glanced at me. "Where did you run off to? We didn't see you once."

"Just hanging out with some friends."

"Did you at least watch the show?" she asked.

"Yeah, we did." I gazed out the window.

She turned around in her seat. "It would've been a shame if you missed it."

"Hmm..." I saw a flash of something and smiled.

My mother continued to discuss things with my dad until we reached home. I was the first one inside and jogged up the stairs.

"Night, Aden," called my mother.

"Goodnight." I slipped into the bathroom and locked the door.

I told Titus to wait an hour for my parents to go to bed before coming over. Taking off my clothes, I tossed them into a pile. I sat down in the tub and turned on the water. Tonight had confirmed it. I was ready to take the next step with Titus. I sank into the water. Surprisingly, I wanted to know what it felt like to have sex with a guy. Knowing Titus, I was doubtful he'd want to be on the receiving end. He was a big man, though.

Maybe I wasn't ready for this.

I grabbed my phone and quickly typed in gay sex in the search bar. Nothing came up, so I added one word and nearly dropped my phone in the water. I quickly exited out and tossed my phone on the bathroom rug.

"Oh my god."

I covered my mouth. I was going to die.

Pulling on shorts, I went to the window and slid it open. I backed up against the wall and stood there waiting. My nerves were making my heart beat faster than normal. This whole thing was going to be ruined because I couldn't relax for five seconds.

Titus appeared and climbed inside. "Hey."

With a small smile, I walked over to him.

He leaned down and kissed me, running his hands down my sides. "Should we continue?"

I nodded and let him lead me to the bed. He pushed me down and climbed on top. Pulling him to me, I dug my fingers into his back. Titus growled and deepened the kiss. This was it. I was going to lose my V-card. It was something I didn't think would happen before I graduated. Sliding my hands to his hips, I slowly pushed his shorts lower. Titus jerked away.

I felt my face flush red. "Sorry."

He smiled and went back to kissing my neck. I just lay there waiting for him to make a move, but that move never came. He explored and kissed every bit of my chest but never went any lower.

When he arrived back at my lips, I tried again. I softly brushed my fingers down his abs to the waistband of his shorts. I hooked my finger in them, but Titus shifted his hips and grabbed my wrists. He pinned them above my head, leaving me completely lost.

Isn't this what he wanted? Titus had told me he had feelings for me, and we nearly did it just over an hour ago. I thought this was what he wanted. It was what I wanted.

I trudged up the mountain, following Titus. Last night, I had gone from confused to annoyed, and now, we were hiking. It wasn't as bad as the first time, but I still hated it.
