19. Go Out With Me

"Eden, I—mmph—" Marley was once again cut off as Eden smashed his lips on hers. She placed her hands on his shoulder to push him away but her efforts were in vain as Eden only took it as a sign to continue more intensely. He placed his one hand on the back of her head, ceasing her chances to escape, while his other one firmly held her waist.

His mouth worked passionately against hers, his tongue letting no part of her mouth remain untouched. Once again, unconsciously, Marley melted into his alluring lips and kissed him back. Her fingers gripped his shoulders and pulled him toward herself, making Eden growl in pleasure.

For past half-hour, they both had been lounging on a couch in Marley's living room, reveling in each others presence. When Eden had dropped off Marley, he invited himself into her house. Five minutes later, Marley found herself pushed against her couch with a lusting Eden hovering above her.

Finally, Eden pulled away allowing both of them to breathe. He let go of her head and held her waist with both hands.

"God! You taste so good. How did I survive this long without you?" Eden said, his intense gaze at Marley.

His lust filled eyes forced Marley to bury her face into his shoulder to hide her heated cheeks.

"Stop staring like that." Her voice came muffled.

"Or what?" He mused.

"I—I don't know."

He chuckled, placing his palm on her back and rubbing it in a soothing motion. "You are so cute."

"I am not cute!"

"Yes, you are."

"Shut up!" She sighed defeated.

Eden laughed and his laugh sounded like a beautiful melody to Marley's ears. She still couldn't believe that Eden had apologized to Jason just for her, and moreover, without getting into another fist fight. But then again, he wasn't really humble about that and kept ranting of his great deed throughout their car ride back home.

It baffled Marley how in such a short period of time her feelings blossomed for him. His teasings and indecent remarks now didn't seem so bad, although it still made her flustered. All the stolen kisses sent butterflies bubbling down into her stomach, making her feel fuzzy.

Marley had never dated before and had no experience to compare these new symptoms with, yet she also knew she wouldn't feel the same way with anyone else but him. She was getting more and more trapped into his bewitching charm but she wanted to.

"Eden—" Marley pulled away her face from his warm shoulders and looked into his eyes which were already staring into hers. "I was talking to Rachel and she asked me if..." She trailed off. Her face turned red, thinking what she was about to do. She didn't know that it was going to be this difficult but then again everything with Eden was difficult.

"If?" He mimicked, smiling at her adorable red face.

"If... we ever went out. So, I guess I am asking will you go out with me?" She finished hurriedly.

"Huh?"

"Will you go out with me?" She repeated, slower. Her eyes immediately found her palms lying on her lap. She waited for a whole minute and when heard no reply, she gingerly took a glance at Eden.

Werewolf was gaping at her with a parted mouth. He was on cloud nine but also disappointed with himself for not asking her out before.

Eden had always wondered about taking Marley on a date but squashed the idea in the fear of rejection and throwing her over his shoulder against her will to go for a nice outing didn't seem that romantic. So, he wanted to give her time. Sure, he kissed her and all as he knew Marley wouldn't be able to resist it because of the bond, but she was still capable to say 'no' for a date.
