Chapter 10 – The Plan
I woke up to a strange warmth on my neck. Strange…but pleasant. Then the familiar stubbly sensation of Teren’s jaw brushed my sensitive skin, and I realized the warmth I was feeling was his mouth. I opened my eyes and shifted to look at the black head nibbling on me. He pulled back and smiled at me and for the briefest moment, I wondered if he’d been feeding on me while I slept. I didn’t like that thought, so I pushed it out of my head. He wouldn’t do that. His teeth weren’t out anyway, so he had probably just been reminiscing. Last night had been pretty darn incredible—even for us.
“Sorry if I woke you.”
A languid smile graced my lips. “It’s all right. I think I prefer that to my alarm clock.”
I felt the small wounds in my skin and flushed, realizing how incredibly visible those were going to be to the entire world. Worse than a hickey even. He had been extremely gentle, as gentle as one can be, piercing through flesh, and the wounds were very small; they’d probably be nearly healed by Monday. I’d only have to make it through the weekend with the neon flashing sign upon my neck that screamed—yes, your son bit me…and I enjoyed every darn minute of it. I flushed again, thinking about how I’d unintentionally cleared the house last night.
Teren noticed my changing skin tone. Maybe he even smelled it. He ran a finger over the puncture marks, sweeping my fingers away in the process. “You don’t have to be embarrassed.” He kissed my neck again, right over the wounds. “You’re beautiful…these are beautiful.”
I smiled and rolled my eyes. “They pretty much brand me as yours, don’t they?”
He brought his fingers to my cheek. “I love how much you trust me. I love you so much, Emma. I’d never hurt you.”
I narrowed my eyes at the sudden seriousness in his voice, the sudden glistening in his eyes. I gently cupped his cheek. “I know that, Teren. I love you too.”
After a few soft kisses, we peeled ourselves away from the enormous bed—it was bigger than two of my kitchen tables pushed together—and got dressed for the day. I didn’t have any clothes that even came close to approaching my neck, so I didn’t even bother trying to hide it. I threw on a v-neck shirt, jeans and boots, and brushed out my hair, which I decided to leave down. I might not be able to hide it, but no need to flaunt it. Teren came up behind me after dressing in jeans and a long-sleeve shirt, and brushed aside the hair from my neck to kiss me again. He was sure enjoying the memory. I added that to my growing list of things to reflect on.
Eventually, I was groomed well enough to face his family, and we left the little sanctuary we’d discovered last night. A moment’s embarrassment flashed through me a second before my foot stepped into the dining room, but it left me the second my foot actually did enter the dining room.
