“Hmm?”
“Your hands.”
“What about them?”
“They are under my t-shirt.”
He chuckled. “They are where they want to be. You have no idea how badly I want to touch you. Keeping them on your back is fine, right?”
“How much I know, that part of my body is called a breast.”
While his hands were on her back she didn’t say anything, but little by little his right hand moved and now he was cupping her breast.
James didn’t want to move his hand. That part of her flesh was round and tantalizingly soft with a hard bud at the peak, and it filled his palm perfectly.
“I thought we were talking about my left hand.” As if to prove his point, the fingers of his left hand moved along her spine, and she shivered.
“The position of that hand is also questionable.”, Cornelia said. Everywhere he touched her was electrifying.
“But you are touching me without obstructions. It’s fair that we are equals.”, James protested. Her hands were on his back.
“You could put a t-shirt on.”, Cornelia said.
James was not discouraged. “Aren’t I the considerate one? I don’t have it on because I want to make things easier for you. Admit it, you love touching me. It feels good, right?”
Cornelia stared at the cheeky young man who didn’t look like a teenage boy. He reminded her of a hungry wolf who wanted to eat her up.
James stared into her deep brown eyes. “You have no idea how happy I am that I get to hold you, Cora. Your scent, your flavors, your everything is out of this world, and the fact that you are holding onto me is making everything several folds better.”
Cornelia’s eyes darted from James’ blue eyes to his lips and back up again as she was torn between her desire to kiss him more, and her reasoning which screamed that they should stop. She knew that he had only a flimsy towel around his midsection, and her t-shirt and shorts didn’t provide much coverage either.
She was aroused and she definitely felt his erection pressing on her thigh. If they didn’t stop, they might go all the way and she was not sure if that was a good idea. Just until a few minutes ago, she was confident that leaving was the best choice, yet James melted all her arguments away with one hug and a kiss and she was aware that she was sinking deeper with every next heartbeat.
Should she continue resisting this madness that was reinforced by the pull of nature?
James’ hands on Cornelia’s skin felt good, like they belonged there, and she really wanted to kiss him more.
Her breath hitched when his thumb moved over her hardened nipple, sending an electric current straight to her core.
Somehow, he knew exactly where and how to touch her in order to set her body ablaze. Other than his impressive physique, James’ mind also put her in awe, and now this. Was he really just a teenager?
Seeing that Cornelia’s eyes were getting clouded with lust, James gave himself a mental high-five. He got her to lower her guard completely and she was his. He inched closer, and their lips touched when…
‘KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK!’
James cursed under his breath. What’s up with that timing?
Unsure who was on the other side of the door, he pulled a blanket and covered Cornelia with it, feeling that her t-shirt and shorts were too revealing.
“WHAT!?”, James shouted at the door.
“It’s time for breakfast.”, Maya’s voice sounded. She didn’t open the door. “I called and texted you, but you didn’t respond, so I came to let you know that your presence is…”
“FINE!”, James interrupted Maya. He got the message and was not in the mood for pleasantries.
Hearing Maya’s steps diminishing as she walked away, James turned to Cornelia who lifted the blanket all the way to her chin. It was obvious that she was embarrassed.
He felt like crying. The mood was ruined!
“I think you should dress up, so we can go.”, she said.
“Dress up?”, he asked like he had no idea what she was talking about. “If we are in your realm, this type of garment would be acceptable.” He glanced at the towel that somehow was still set around his waist, but it didn’t do much to conceal the tent that was formed in his crotch area.
Cornelia’s eyes flashed in understanding. If he wears clothes that were common for witches, he would be totally exposed! “You will need to wear more clothes.”
James smirked. “Do I hear that my mate won’t like other women looking at me?”
Cornelia paused. Was she jealous? “Nonsense.”
James chuckled and yanked the blanket out of Cornelia’s hold.
“It’s perfectly fine to be possessive of your mate.”, James said. “I won’t give you any reason to suspect my loyalty, Cora. I am yours and yours only.”
He was hovering above her, and Cornelia thought that he will kiss her again, but in one swift move he rolled them over, ending up on his back with Cornelia on top of him.
“We should go to breakfast.”, she reminded him.
“I’m not holding you.”, he said while waving his hands to make a point that she was not restricted.
Cornelia was in a predicament. Their position was intimate and outrageous, and she could definitely feel his erection at the cradle of her thighs. There was nothing holding her down on him, but why was it so difficult to increase the distance between them?
His cocky smile irritated her, and she knew that he could see through her. Her desire to stick close to him was tangible.
“Cora”, James called while running his fingers along the groove of her spine under her t-shirt. “Now that we are dating, you also have privileges.”
“Like?”
“Like…” He paused to lick his lips. “You get to hug me and touch me and kiss me whenever you feel like it. Don’t you…?”
His next words were muffled by her kiss because she really wanted to kiss him again, and she did.
…
James and Cornelia entered the dining room to see that Dayson and Talia were there with Jaeden, Maya, George, Dawn, Gideon, Mindy, Petra, Erik, and Zack, and there was another face James didn’t approve of. Calvin, the reporter from WW Magazine. James remembered him because Calvin interviewed Marcy and then James after that.
At that time, Cornelia was not present, and this might be a problem.
James’s mind was racing. Why was the reporter there? Was he trustworthy? What if he publishes in his article how the young Alpha of the Red Moon pack was with a woman? That probably won’t mean much for anyone else, but Alpha Edward would definitely pick up that Cornelia was someone important.
James’ instinct was to stay away from Cornelia because if the reporter doesn’t see them being close, they would avoid many troubles, but contrary to his instincts, his hold on Cornelia tightened as he pulled her closer to him.
