Chapter Twenty-Two

When we got home-. Home.. That's interesting. I didn't know how long I considered Roman's house to be my home. The simple thought brought a smile to my face. Home. Shaking the silly thought out of my head, I revert my attention back to Roman who was currently playing a video game with Maxie. In about an hour we were going to have to start to head out to dinner with my parents so before all that mess happens, I'd like to just focus on now and just enjoy it.

"What the heck Max, why'd you kill me!" Roman yelled, angrily while standing up. I couldn't help but chuckle at how comical the two were. Roman may be older but right now they both seemed to be the same age. Maxie laughed evilly while pulling out another grenade at Roman which resulted in Roman to be a sore loser once again. I got up and told the two that I would head upstairs. Might as well take a shower since I'm up here before we have to head out. A soft hum left my lips as I took my clothes. I stepped into the shower, toes flinching as they touched the chilled ceramic floor. My mind was in shreds; I would never get that picture out of my mind. I turned the dial, old and metallic, releasing thousands of lukewarm drops, darkening my hair and trickled down my back. turning the water on high and letting it beat over my head in steamy rivulets. Not long after getting in the shower I didn't notice someone getting in as well, I closed my eyes and let the water just relax me. It wasn't until I felt arms wrap around my waist did my eyes opened quickly while I let out a gasp, I quickly turned my body around only to become chest to chest with Roman.

"Why are you in here?!" I practically seethed with embarrassment.

"Just wanted to be with you.." I watch him as the water runs over my skin like a caress. How had I fallen in love with this man? This wildly snake that had twined around my own wolf's heart from the first meeting of eyes. His words warmed my heart and I had to fight back the 'Aww' that wanted to so desperately come out. Slowly, I raise a hand and cup his cheek, leaning close to kiss him gently. Feeling his hands glide over my water slick body, pulling me close to him and disregarding the fact that I was naked and wet and that he was naked as well; and pulls me deeper into the kiss. My hand trailed down his abs and to his abdomen, he tapped my thigh signaling for me to jump up which I did. I wrapped my legs around his waist still keeping our lips together. Our lips were perfectly in sync, I pulled back a bit to stare into his eyes. Roman's hand that wasn't holding me ran along and skimmed my spine causing goosebumps to form despite the warm water that was spraying on us. Soft pants escaped me as Roman moved from my lips to my neck, forming bruises wherever he could. My hips seemed to have a mind of their own and began grinding against Roman's abdomen. My mind was foggy and the heat of the shower along with the steam wasn't helping me cool down. He came back to my lips and kissed me feverishly making me feel like I would melt any second.

From my lips he moved to my earlobe and nibbled it slightly causing a moan to erupt from me before slamming me against the shower dial but I paid no mind. It wasn't until freezing cold water sprayed on us like a bucket of ice water, I let out a small scream and squirmed at the sudden coldness. It didn't help that my squirming caused Roman to lose his balance and slip with me in his arms, I desperately tried to grab something but me being me thought it was smart to pull the curtain causing it to fall not long after us. Roman quickly caught the curtain rod before it could hit me. The water annoyingly spraying on us didn't help the situation.

Everything happened so fast that I just couldn't believe it. There was no way this just happened. I couldn't help the cackle of laughter that bubbled out of my mouth, I leaned against Roman's chest and laughed loudly as he looked at me weirdly and concerned. I just couldn't stop laughing and I don't mean like a cute giggle like laughter, I mean I sounded like the hyenas from the Lion King. Then the most embarrassing thing happened.. I freaking snorted; but did that stop me from laughing like a maniac.. No. Once I snorted Roman began to laugh along with me.

"Y-You sounded like a baby pig!" He couldn't even say that full sentence from how much he was laughing. God I loved his laughter- Wait did he just say I sounded like a pig.

"Roman!" I slapped his chest. "You're so mean!" Once we calmed down, I noticed the full extent of what just happened.

"Oh god Rome are you okay!?" I asked once concerned hit me. This just had to happen to me didn't it.

He inspected me a bit checking if I was hurt before answering. "I'm alright." He smiled at me reassuringly before asking. " Are you okay? Does anything hurt?"
