5 • Eavesdroppers Never Prosper

EMBRY'S POV

"Embry," Rebecca said my name on a whispering breath.

And with that one word, Rebecca began to lean towards me, her face inches from mine as her lips parted in need.

My own lips separated in eager anticipation. I felt her moist breath on my face. Blood began to race through every part of my body, including the area her bottom rested against as she sat on my lap. My eyes closed as her lips moved even closer to me. They flew open again as I felt her mouth press firmly to my cheek.

"Good night Embry...thank you again for everything," Rebecca said softly, before getting up off my lap casually as though she wasn't aware of the raging hard-on I was now sporting.

She felt her way through the darkness and was halfway down the hall, before my brain returned to my head. Jumping up, I followed her and gently grabbed her arm.

"Becks, what time are you going to the hospital tomorrow?" I asked.

"I don't know," she responded. "I'll probably leave around 7 or 8 am."

"I'll see you bright and early then," I told her before turning and heading towards the front door.

"Em, you don't have to do that," Rebecca called out quietly. I loved hearing her call me Em.

"I'll see you tomorrow," I responded.

I walked out the door and made my way to my Jeep. I got in and headed to my house. As I drove, I lifted a hand to my face where I could still feel the imprint of Rebecca's lips on my cheek.

I pulled up next to my house. It really was nothing but a shack that overlooked the ocean. The bedroom, living room, and kitchen were all in one big room. It also had a tiny closet and bathroom included to the left of my "bedroom." It was hardly livable, but in the morning, I could look out the back window and see the water and beach not far below.

I entered the house and quickly stripped off my clothes and ran into the shower, turning it on so that the ice cold water hit my aroused flesh. After I finally got my body to relax, I ran outside, not bothering to get dressed.

I needed to get back to Rebecca, even if it I had to do it as a wolf. I needed to be near her. I thought briefly of Rebecca and Ian having a kid together and instantly phased as rage consumed me. I made my way back to the Black house where I stayed all night, listening to Rebecca's even breathing as she slept, though I heard her tossing and turning a few times throughout the night.

I stayed there until I felt the sun begin to rise. Getting up, I stretched my furry paws out in front of me. Noises started permeating from inside the house and I knew Rebecca was up.

I raced home and phased back to human form. I took another quick shower before dressing in some jean shorts and a white t-shirt. Throwing on some shoes, I ran out to my Jeep and headed back to the Black home.

As soon as I got to the property, I heard Rebecca's voice coming from the back of the house. Instead of entering the home, I followed the pull which connected me to her and made my way to the backyard. Sure enough, Rebecca was standing just a few yards away talking on her cell phone.

"...I think I'm going to stay longer than a week... maybe extend the trip an additional week. I don't want to leave until I know Rach is okay," Rebecca said to whomever she was speaking to.

"Sure, take as much time as you need," I heard Ian's voice reply through the phone. My stomach twisted.

"What are Jake's kids like?" He asked.

"Incredibly cute...I was going to ask maybe...if...you know...you were ready to try yet for a baby." Rebecca said slowly. I did not want to hear this, but I couldn't make myself leave either.
