Chapter 18 (edited)

                                    

                                          
Dad took Adrien to a different room to "talk". And I have no idea what going on there. But I know what's happening with Kyle. Tyler and Jay are giving him a piece of their mind which may or may not include some punches. Well, he deserved that and more for keeping secrets in the family. 
                          
It's already dark outside and been 20 minutes, 20 fucking minutes since dad and Adrien went to "talk" and Kyle and the boys went out to sort their matter. And I'm left here to bite my nails in anticipation.  
                          
"Nails? If you bite one more time you'll be biting your fingers. Stop worrying everything will be alright. Dad knows we love him and we know that Adrien is a good guy. So just relax. " Flicker told me.
                          
  
" You know usually I'm the one consoling you. It's weird to see the role change. " I told her. Before she could reply I heard footsteps coming toward me and with the mouth-watering aroma in the air, I know who's coming. It only increases my anticipation.
                          
  
He came to me with a smile on his face, never knew a smile could calm my nerves this way. And the only thing in my mind is to jump on him right now right here. But all my actions came to halt when dad enter the room. I look at dad to get an idea of his mood or thoughts.
                          
He just came to me and hug me and said, " You really find a good one here. And I told him what would happen if he ever broke your heart." The last part came out with a menacing tone directed toward Adrien and I fight my urge to roll my eyes at his protectiveness.
                          
  
Dad cleared his throat and ask looking around, "Where's your brother?"
                          
  
"Outside with Jay and Tyler, talking," I replied with relief written on my face.
                          
I turn to Adrien and ask him and dad for dinner. Don't judge me this day has been really tiring and now when everything is sorted I'm starving.
                          
  
After 10 minutes boys join us for dinner and I clearly can see bruises on Kyle's face. I smirked at him and he glares at me. Then I turn to Tyler and ask, " What happen to you?"
                          

"He was stupid. " Kyle replied and Tyler growled at him.
                          
  
"I didn't know stupidity can make his nose bleed. " Dad laughed at them.
                          
  
" He was being stupid by making fun of Kyle about how he enjoyed his grounding, which resulted in this," Jay explained pointing at Tyler's face. 
                          
We laughed at each other as we ate our dinner. And after that dad and the boys said their farewell for the night and Kyle went to his room so it's just me and Adrien.  I can feel the tension in the air, it's like an electric charge pulling us together. And I so much want to take our relationship further but I know I have to wait till I tell him about werewolf things because I don't think I can stop myself from marking him if we start. We both are staring at each other knowing fully well that it's time to part our ways and go to our rooms but not wanting to go different ways. Even if it's just a different room. I sighed and extended my hand for him which he took without hesitation. I need to feel this connection, to feel him. This charge in the air is getting more and more suffocating, calling me to release this tension. I know he can feel it too as I see the change in his breathing and with heavy steps we start walking toward his room. 
                          
" What did you and dad talk about? He seemed genuinely impressed by you." I asked him to delay the part where I have to go to my room and to distract us.
                          
  
" You look really surprised with the fact that your dad is impressed with me. Did you think I couldn't impress him or do you think I'm not worthy enough? " He said with fake hurt in his voice.
                          
  
"You know what I meant. So stop being a drama queen. " I said while drawing a small pattern on his hand as we reached his door. He laughed and pulled me in.
                          
  
" Just about normal things that every dad asks any boy their daughter thinks is the one with some threats. Nothing unusual." He said looking in my eyes, he inhaled deeply, and in one swift move, he had me pinned against the door. 
                          
His eyes bored into mine before they flicked down to my mouth and lingered there. His tongue slipped out to wet his lips as his eyes shifted to mine. I closed my eyes as his fingers traced a line on my cheek,  down to the hollow on my throat where my pulse was beating wildly.
                          
  
"Just a taste." He inhaled deeply.
                          
  
My hands fisted to prevent myself from touching him and to hold the last strands of my control.
" Kiss me." He said, sucking my bottom lip between his, licking and biting lightly.
                          
  
And then he put his arm around me, pulling me against his body while his other hand secured the back of my neck. His lips became hard and demanding challenging me to kiss back. His kissed turned almost desperate as I kissed him back.
                          
  
The world became hazy and I felt my teeth aching to touch his skin, to graze at his neck. 
"Stop." I protested against his lips, my palms flattening against his chest to push him away. He let me go, we were both panting.
                          
  
He exhaled slowly, and I heard him swallow as he rest his forehead against mine.
                          
  
" I..... We need.... need to stop...... There is something that..... I need to tell you before we..... " I said while tried fumbling to find the right words through my clouded brain.
                          
  
He look at me with an expression that I could only understand as fear and take a step back. I hold his hand tightly as he takes his hand away from the back of my neck and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
                          
  
" It's nothing like that. " I said reading his expression as I saw wheels turning in his head.
                          
  
" It was......amazing... I don't even have the right word to describe it. Trust me it's taking every ounce of control to stop myself from kissing you. " I assured him.
                          
  
" Then why are you stopping yourself. " He asked with hurt written all over him.
                          
  
" Because I need to tell you something about me, that I should have told you earlier. But I was scared..... scared of losing you. " I told him, " We will talk about this tomorrow. It's a long conversation and I need to show you something. "
                          
  
I bid my goodbye and start walking to my room with a heavy heart. Flicker is whining in my head to go back to our mate. I know we can't go back cause I wouldn't be able to control myself. And I'm scared of his reaction but I also know that I scared him too. I didn't want to leave him hanging like this but I need to prepare myself for the talk. And goddess knows I need all the strength I could gather.
