Demon: Book 1

Chapter 31: No Sex

I woke to rain pounding on the roof as lightning lit up my room. Pulling the cover to my chin, I tried to go back to sleep. The noise outside was getting louder.

Sitting up, I rubbed my eyes. A face flashed behind the glass.

"Titus?" I threw off the blankets and hurried to the window. Throwing it open, I moved out of the way so he could climb inside.

"You're soaking wet," I said, closing the window.

"I was worried." He hugged me. "My dad got a call from yours." He tightened his hold. "I'm so sorry, Aden. I didn't mean for anyone to find out."

"It's just as much my fault," I whispered. "I wanted to see you, too."

We parted.

"I'll get you a towel." I slipped from my room to the bathroom. Grabbing a bundle, I hurried back.

Titus took them and started rubbing his hair dry. He slipped off his shorts. I picked them up and went back to the bathroom. I rang them out in the sink and put them over the edge of the tub. When I returned, Titus was sitting on the bed, staring out the window.

He smiled at me. "Come here."

I hurried to him.

Titus put an arm around me. "Are you okay?"

"I'll handle it." I wrung my hands in my lap. "I punched Chris in the face."

Chuckling, Titus kissed the side of my head. "I wish I could've seen it."

"I wish no one else had."

He sighed. "You're all wet."

"It's your fault."

"Yes, it is." Titus lifted my shirt over my head.

I took off my sweats as well and moved with him to the corner. He propped a pillow behind him as I lay on his chest. Pulling the covers over our bodies, Titus draped an arm around my waist.

"When do you have to leave?"

"I thought we could have a sleepover." He kissed the top of my head. "It's been a while."

"Yeah," I breathed. "What about your dad?"

"Either way, he's going to be here in the morning to talk with yours. I'm already in trouble whether I stay or not."

I scooted further up and rested my head on his shoulder. Lightning flashed, and thunder cracked soon after. I flinched and curled into Titus.

"That's pretty close," he laughed.

"Hmm..."

"Are you scared?"

"No," I stated. "It's just loud." Thunder shook the walls.

He laughed softly in my ear. "Are you sure, Aden?"

"I've had a horrible day, so don't make it worse."

"Sorry." He kissed my cheek.

I sat up and pressed my lips to his. He grabbed the back of my head, and we disappeared under the covers. His hand slipped lower. I arched into him and deepened the kiss. We parted to catch our breath.

"You're, you know," he teased.

I gave him an unimpressed look. "So are you, jackass."

I opened my eyes to see the room slowly fill with light. Titus shifted behind me. My hips ached. We clearly took things too far last night. I rolled over and was immediately pulled back. Titus tucked my head under his chin.
