It's Your Call

Chapter Fourteen: Territory

My eyes flutter open to Embry's room filled with bright, warm light. I let out a small groan as I stretch out in his empty bed. The sheet falls off of me, exposing my bare body. I immediately sit up, clutching the sheet tightly to my chest. Memories of last night begin to flood my mind, causing a blush to paint my cheeks crimson. I'm still reminiscing when I hear the bedroom door open.

Embry walks in, his body dripping with beads of water, and a towel held loosely around his waist. He stops at the sight of me and smiles warmly. Walking over, he presses his lips to the top of my head.

"Good morning, beautiful," he murmurs as he runs a hand through my hair.

"E-Embry! What are you doing?" I stammer shyly, pulling the sheet tighter to my chest and turning my eyes away from his nearly bare body.

He simply lets out a low chuckle and begins trailing kisses from my forehead to my neck. My cheeks burn bright red as I try to keep my eyes fixed on anything but his body.

"What's wrong, baby? You see me shirtless all the time, this is no different," he whispers in between kisses.

Clutching the sheet to me with one hand, I try to push Embry back a little. "It's c-completely different! I know you're not wearing anything else under that towel. It just makes me a-a little-"

"Nervous?" Embry growls huskily into my neck before nipping at it gently. "I know, I can feel how nervous I make you. It's satisfying," he smiles. Placing one more kiss to my neck, he pulls away, "We need to get dressed, gotta head over to Sam's for Claire's birthday party. Everyone else is already there except Jared. He had to go buy Claire a present."

I finally look up into his deep brown eyes as he pulls away and notice them visibly darken as they meet mine. I gulp nervously and clutch the sheet tighter to my chest. My eyes subconsciously start trailing down his body and I have to bite the inside of my cheek in order to fight the urge to kiss him.

"If you keep looking at me like that, we won't be needing clothes at all," he growls lowly, leaning his face closer to my own.

My cheeks flush deeper at his words and I nod my head, "S-Sorry, uh, can you toss me some clothes or something," I say, looking around the room.

Embry nods his head and turns to grab one of his shirts out of his closet and a pair of my shorts out of a drawer. He tosses them to me before grabbing me a bra and underwear out too and carrying them over, a matching black set.

He leans down to my ear, placing a light kiss to it, "The faster you get ready, the faster we can come home. I have a surprise for you today," he smiles against my temple before pecking it and walking out of his room to let me change.

I try to shove all of it to the back of my mind as I drop the sheet and begin to get dressed. With a light huff I pull Embry's black shirt over my head and slide on my cut offs shorts. The shirt hangs low, covering the shorts completely. I slide on my pair of vans and grab my phone off the charger. Tossing my hair up into a messy bun, I open the bedroom door, revealing a half dressed wolf boy.

"Ready to go, beautiful?" Embry asks, a crooked grin on his face as he pulls me into him, placing a kiss to my lips.

"Of course," I nod, pulling away with a smile and making my way down the hall. "Say, what're the odds Quil is going completely bonkers right now," I laugh, tossing Embry the keys to his truck.

"Oh very good," he chuckles, catching them and opening the front door for me, "He called me this morning asking if a button down shirt was too formal for a four year old's birthday party. Didn't make it through the phone call without crying."
