Eden

Chapter 16: Thomas

I wake up and whimper.
I love how comfortable I am I his arms.
"Darling?" I smile at the nickname and I yawn.
"Morning."
"I've added more to the list." He mumbles and I kiss him
"Baby, did you sleep at all?"
He doesn't sorry
"Jonah you didn't have to work all night."
"I sure did." He says and I smile
"Cmon, rest. I'll work on the rest." I say and he closes his eyes.
I start working when I hear him growl.
My body shudders, instantly submitting
I look back but he's still asleep, nothing to see there.
I hear his growls a couple more times, I kiss his head and get back to work.
So clearly my father had a plan to keep me away from someone. Someone Male.
Think Eden, think.
Who did I meet once my dad left?
Thomas. I met Thomas.
I bite my lip and look away.

Eden past PoV:
I keep running through the city and I feel my heart beat crazy.
I dash past the usual streets and head into the dodgy part of town.
"Girl!" A man calls and I panic
"N-no." I squeak
"Please I know who you are."
"You do?"
"Yes, you're Eden right? Fugitive? Come in." The man has blonde hair and blue eyes.
He seems to be around my age.
"Please don't turn me in." I sob
"Of course not!" A woman laughs
I look around at the people, ranging ages. Different hair, skin, eyes. Clearly not related.
There are at least ten people.
"We are all hiding from the law Eden. We sent Tom here to find you." A woman says, I look at the man I now know as Tom.
He grins
"I'm Charlie." The woman smiles and I nod
"I'm Armada." Another girl says, she's around my age too.
She blushes when making eye contact with Tom.
I look down
"I'm Dan!" A boy squeaks
"I'm Gareth, Dans Dad." A man laughs
"I'm Noya." A girl smiles and I smile back
There are other people my age.
"So, what's your story Eden?"
"Uhm, I don't wanna talk about it." I whisper
It's all too real. Fras and James on the hunting team...
I shudder.
"Well, come with us. We've been expecting you for awhile, we have a room here. You're welcome to stay with our little family." Charlie smiles and I smile back
"No, I shouldn't impose. Plus I would only draw more attention here." I frown
"Please darling, no one ever comes here." She giggles

Thomas past PoV:
I saw the way Armada looked at me, especially after last night.
We'd become friends with benefits.
We both understand it's just till we meet our mates.
She keeps biting her lip as we eat dinner.
Eden didn't want to come down, I don't mind though.
"Tom? Can we talk in private?" She asks, sweetly
I cock my head but nod
"Course." I smile

We step into her room, past the kids bunks.
She kisses me hungrily.
"Arma." I groan and she moans.
"Please Tom, I need you." She pants.
"I need you too baby." I growl and she smiles
I pick her up and she gasps out.
"I can't wait till after dinner Tom." She whimpers
"Who said anything about that?" I smirk, locking her door, pressing her against the wall.
I pull her shirt off and she moans.
I like the tiny noises she makes, every movement earns me one.
I pull her shorts off and she unbuttons my shirt.
She moans and I kiss her neck.
She moans as I leave a hickey above her breast.
As she unbuckles my belt, I hook my thumbs around he hips Of her panties.
"T-Tom, we should be careful they dint hear us." She says and I nod, placing my hand over her mouth.
She rolls her eyes and pries my hand away
"Baby, you want to be safe?" I ask, she would be the one to get pregnant after all.
"No, I want to feel all of you. Like our first time." She says and I nod
"Bed or here?"
"Start here, till I can't stand." She grins and I nod
I push into her and her walls clamp down on me
"T-Tom." She whispers, trying to collect herself.
Is this really all we are? Just friends who screw?
No, we can't be.
I begin moving inside her and she bites her lips o she doesn't let it out.
Her legs are trembling, I can tell she's close.
"Tom!" She yells and I clamp a hand over her mouth.
She comes all over me and j groan, bucking up into her.
She nips my hand gently
"I-I'm Okay." She gasps, coming down from her high.
"You sure?" I whisper and she nods.
I manage to rile her up again and she whimpers
"Fuck Armada, I'm gonna-"
I finish inside her and she lets go too. I pull away, my seed still sleeping out of her core.
She stumbles often trying to put her clothes on
"Baby? Need a hand?" I ask, after cleaning us both up.
"Please?" She squeaks and I help her pull her clothes on.
"Armada? I hope you know this isn't just a game with us." I say and she smiles
"Good." She says and kisses me
"Just please don't tell them?" She begs
"Of course." I smile
I tell her to go back to dinner as to not arouse any suspicions.
She nods and I smell her on my clothes.
I groan, why do I feel this way.
She isn't mine.
But boy do I want her to be.

Took a lil break to get to know Thomas and why he feels for Eden.
