Son of a Rouge

Trust Me [°26°]

[Aaden's POV]

I walk back in the house to notice that Ryder isn't waking in front of me anymore. He must've kept on walking and didn't notice I stopped. I rush up the stairs and into Ryder's room. I open the door to be met with him crossing his arms and pacing across the room. I just stand and stare. Back and forth. Back and forth. He doesn't seem to notice me in the door way. He stops and looks at me deep in my eyes.

"Sit" He says, his voice sounding colder than I've ever heard it. I have no reason to object so I just listen to his orders and take a seat on the edge of the bed, facing him. I feel so bad... I don't want him mad at me.

He stops pacing and stands right in front of me. "Do you have any idea what you just did out there?" He says. I'm too scared to say anything back to him, so I don't. I don't want to make this situation even worse for me. I just stare at him with big eyes. He facepalms, "You can't just sit there silent forever. You just put yourself in the most danger ever out there. He could have KILLED you, no regrets. Because you're MY Luna. I put you in the safe room for a reason, because I wanted you SAFE and not dealing with the dirty work I was involved in. But you DEFYED me and came out anyway! Do you KNOW what you just did?!"

I just sit and listen to his words before I feel a warm tear running down my face. I lift up my hand to wipe it away but many others follow it. "But I was-", my voice breaks as I start to cry, "I didn't mean to, I was just worried about you, it was just a mistake... I won't do it again, I'm sorry Ryder."

Ryder takes a deep breath and sighs. He sits next to me on the bed. "You just can't do things like that again... but hopefully this situation doesn't happen again at all", he says, "I forgive you, just don't scare me like that again please. I can't afford to lose you. You're the most important thing I have in this world."

I nod understanding where he's coming from. I look him up and down, worried about all of the cuts and bruises he has. "You got hurt though..." I say quietly. He looks at me confused and then looks over himself, "Oh! You mean all this? I'll heal by tomorrow, wolves heal faster than humans." I nod and mouth "Oh". He smiles, "I do need to shower though, I'm all dirty from fighting, care to join?"

My cheeks turn red, burning with shock and embarrassment. "Huh? Me? With you? In the shower?" I say stumbling over my words barely able to say anything. He smirks at me and pulls my hands into his and holds them both tightly. "Yes Aaden, I promise I won't judge what you look like, I love everything about you already. Trust me."

I take a deep breath, "Will it be weird and have you done this with anyone else?" Ryder just continues to smirk and looks down to shake his head. He lets out a small laugh to show he's amused with my nervousness, "No to both of those questions, trust me."

"Fine..." I say quietly but just loud enough for him to hear me, "Let's go". Ryder gets up off the bed and pulls me up with him still holding both of my hands. He guides me into the bathroom and shuts the door behind the both of us. I gulp down harshly, afraid of what's about to happen. I've never done something like this and don't know what to expect. Ryder takes his shirt off in front of me to reveal his abs and throws his shirt on the floor. My eyes travel down no longer able to look him in his eyes. Wow... he's amazing...

"Come here.." he says in a quiet sexy whisper as he tries to take off my shirt. I cross my arms tighter than ever before so he can't get it off. I don't want him to see how skinny I am compared to him. He's so amazing compared to me. He lets go of my shirt and frowns, "Listen to me... I'm not going to hurt or judge you, don't worry." He says. I loosen my arms and raise them so he can get my shirt off. Once it's off I all of a sudden feel cold.

He throws my shirt to the ground and steps back to look at me. I cross my arms once again all of a sudden feeling insecure about my body. I've never let someone see me like this, ever. Ryder pulls me close to him and places his hands on me. My arms all of a sudden go limp and fall to my side. I feel like melting right here. One hand moves to my back and one to my waist. I can feel his warm body radiating onto me. He leans down and whispers in my ear, "You're perfect Ade, don't ever doubt that."

In the heat of the moment I pull away and take off the rest of my clothes, not feeling ashamed of my body for once. Ryder goes to the shower to turn on the water and the follows suit.

My jaw almost drops. What I'm seeing right now... is the best thing I could have ever witnessed. I don't say a word as he turns around to get in the shower. I stay standing, frozen. He peeks his head out of the shower, "Are you going to join yet Ade?" He says. I snap out of it and quickly get in the shower.

Ryder moves me so I'm standing in front of him. He runs his hands all over my wet body. The water feels so warm and relaxing. I don't even want him to stop at this point. I move slightly to the side.

All I hear is "Ahh". Ryder let out cries of minor pain. I realize, "Omg! Your cuts! I'm sorry!" I say and move back in front of the water. "Don't worry" he says as he grabs a bottle of liquid soap and squeezes it into his hands. He lathers it onto me and squeezes more into his hand to wash himself up. As he's doing that. I do the same for myself and rinse myself off.

He then turns off the shower and steps out. Leaving me waiting for him to hand me a towel. I see him go to a closet and grab two towels. He decides to wrap himself up before he hands me mine. He picks it up off the counter where he sat it and hesitates to give it to me. "Gimme!" I say and he laughs. "Don't mind me, I'm just trying to enjoy the view." He says. I step out the shower and grab the towel myself. I open the door where I'm met with freezing cold air. I head out to his room so I can get dressed.

We both quickly get dressed and I climb into bed. I'm ready to finally relax after all I've been through. I didn't even realize how late it is, it's already dark outside. I look at my phone to see the time, "7:58pm" I mouth silently. Ryder joins me in bed, "Finally, I get to lay down and just chill."

"I know right?" I say.
