Chapter 128 -
Chapter Eleven
It was a story the demon had told us while we were growing up when he came to the packhouse to spend time with the others. I could still remember the animated way that he imitated Eli, Own, and Drake. Or the high-pitched way that he would talk when he pretended to be Abby in the stories.
Sam still kept the same apartment for the times that he and Abby spent alone together. More often than not, he was at the family house that sat deep in the packlands. Wanting to be closer to Abby and the others, even though he always said otherwise.
"So, what did you want to do after Moonlight?" I asked, moving over to the stairwell beside Sid. "I think you already know what I want to do, Evy." Sid smirked, giving me a heated look. He wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling my body closer to his. "We still have to find out just how many times I can make you come with that rose."
"Sid, someone might hear you." I growled, looking down the hallway to make sure that no one was around to hear him. There was no one, but I still worried given how many shifters and other creatures called this place home.
"Relax, Evy. No one is around."
I bit my lower lip, looking at him through my lashes as I trailed my hand up his chest.
"No one will hear me, but they might hear you, though." He flattened his hand against my waist, moving it down to my hip. "Or maybe they won't. I could always keep your mouth busy." His lips slid into a slow, sexy smile.
"You could, but I know how much you like it when I moan for you." I let out a breathy growl, moving my hand lower, before I moaned his name. "Sid."
"Mmm, you know just how to get me going." He groaned, his hand moved lower from my waist to cup my ass. Giving the cheek a rough squeeze, he let out a growl of his own. "If you keep it
up, we won't be going to Moonlight, and I want to take you out for your birthday weekend." "Fine, I'll behave."
"Where is the fun in that? I like it when you're bad, Evy." Sid squeezed my ass again, massaging it, before he playfully swatted my bottom.
"Be bad with me?" I asked, looking up at him and biting my lower lip.
"Always." He said, opening the door that led to the floor his apartment was on and guiding me into the hallway that led to his apartment. He pulled out the keys, unlocking the door. Pushing the door open, he held his hand out to let me enter first.
I stepped inside the apartment, taking off my shoes and leaving them by the door. It was dark, but I didn't need the light to see where everything was. One of the perks of being a shifter was that my eyesight was better than a human's, and I could see just fine from the light that shone through the big windows that lined his living room and kitchen.
There was a dark leather couch that took up most of the living room, and a television hung on the same wall as the door. Beneath the television was a small shelf bolted to the wall that held several DVD cases along with a DVD player. The titles were all documentaries that Sid liked to watch over and over again.
It was a bit of a nerdy thing that he liked, but it was something about him that I loved. We could curl up on the couch on rainy days and watch things about the world that I had never seen before. See amazing things that looked like they were pure magic. Like they couldn't be real. Then again, people didn't believe in wolf shifters or dragons. Yet, that was what we were. Sid closed the door behind us, turning on the light and tossing his keys on the little shelf beneath the television. "I got a new documentary about the sea if we have some downtime this weekend."
"Really?" I asked, moving over to look at the DVDs to see which one it was. Sure enough, there was a new one with the cellophane wrapper still covering it. I picked it up, looking at the synopsis. "Oh, this was one that Cami told me about."
"She wants to see it? Maybe I'll have to bring it over for a movie night at the dorm." Sid grazed his fingertips over my elbow as he passed by me.
"I think you just want to cuddle with us again." I looked over my shoulder at him, watching a slow smile slip across his lips.
"I wouldn't say no."
The last time that we had a movie night had been the first time that I had almost kissed Cami. The three of us sitting on my bed, watching a documentary that Sid had brought over along with the old eighties horror movie that Cami and I wanted to watch.
The three of us had cuddled together, with me in the middle. It had felt so right, but I'd been worried about messing things up and making things awkward between Cami and me. I knew that things with Sid wouldn't change even if we both slept with another person together.
He was a dragon; it was easy for him to separate his feelings from one person and the other. But Cami was human, she wasn't used to that kind of thing. She wouldn't know that things with us weren't a forever thing. That it would just be us having fun while we waited for our fated mates. I wasn't going to do that to her. Sid hadn't pressured me. Teased me, yes, but never more than that.
"I got you something too." Sid said before he walked deeper into the apartment, making his way past the living room and into the kitchen.
"What is it?"
"Look at the shelf, Evy." He called out on his way to the bedroom.
