Lucas wraps his hands around Emma’s waist and pulls her closer to him, her breathing hitches as the distance between them is covered. “I might not be gentle,” he whispered into her ears and she could feel her entire being lit instantly, her body coming alive in a way she had never felt before.She caressed his face, “then don’t be…” she replied in a whisper, fear and excitement in her voice.Lucas crashed his lips on hers once more as she felt his arm hold her firmly on her waist, she was too focused on the kiss to feel the pain it caused. His right hand moved up slowly till it got to the straps of her nightgown, she thought he was going to unhook it but he slid behind and then let down her zipper.Emma’s heart skipped as his hand came in contact with her bare back, her skin tingling with sensation. The hairs on her body were standing firmly and her entire being was filled with tension. She broke the kiss and looked at her. She noticed his beautiful blue eyes in the dim night light
With the moon and stars twinkling above them like tiny gems, Max and co drove down the winding road. The Argent mansion was now a distant memory, a fading silhouette against the dark sky. Simon and Samantha's house was located on the outskirts of Beacon Hills, nestled among the trees. It was a cozy and welcoming cottage-style house, with a well-maintained garden in front of it, decorated with a variety of vibrant flowers that seemed to glow in the moonlight.The journey had been lively, with Simon and Samantha making jokes and telling stories that left Lily and Max in stitches. The air was filled with laughter and happiness, a stark contrast to the dark and dangerous events that had taken place earlier in the day. Lily felt grateful to have met amazing friends who could lift her spirits and bring some much-needed joy into her life. She was glad that she had come for this dinner with Max.As Max pulled up to Simon and Samantha's house, Simon turned to Lily with a mischievous grin on h
As Simon and Samantha entered their house, the clock struck midnight, filling the quiet room with its sonorous tolls. Simon looked at Samantha and grinned, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "My legs are back to full functionality. Maybe you should try harder next time when you're trying to damage them," he teased, nudging her playfully.But Samantha was in no mood for jokes. “Shut up Simon, go get some sleep.” She said coldly and headed up the stairs.“Why don’t you make me? Huh?” he teased further.The smile slowly faded from his face as he stood there and watched her climb up the stairs. He could tell that she was feeling sad or kinda depressed and he wondered why. He just thought it wasn’t what he was thinking because that would be insane, but of course not impossible.Her gloomy days had gotten worse since Emma’s arrival in the town, but that matter had been resolved between her and Lucas, so it had to be something else, something he feared would sound insane to the ears.Samanth
Max's heart pounded in his chest as the strange man began to approach him and Lily. He could feel his breaths coming in short gasps as the man's menacing figure drew closer and closer. Instinctively, he pushed Lily gently behind him, trying to shield her from the danger that lay ahead."Run," he whispered hoarsely to her, his voice trembling with fear and desperation. "Run into the woods and hide. I'll come find you. Don't come out until I do."But Lily refused to budge. "I won't leave you," she said, her voice shaking with terror. "I can't. I won't."“Just go Lily, I promise I will be fine and I will come for you,” he screamed in a rush as the man was approaching.“No Max, I am not going anywhere.” Lily said amidst panic, and stood firmly behind him, temporarily forgetting the pain and bleeding on her forehead.Max knew that he couldn't protect both himself and Lily from the Lycan without shifting into his wolf form. He had to make a choice, and quickly; his secret or their safety. H
Lucas jolted awake with a start, his body responding to an instinct he could not name. In the dimly lit room, he saw a dark figure looming over the bed, brandishing a sharp object. Without a second thought, he threw himself over Emma's body, shielding her from the attacker's vicious blow. The blade pierced his left shoulder with a sickening crunch, causing a scream of agony to escape from his lips.As the pain radiated through his body, Lucas instinctively used his wounded elbow to knock the intruder away. The man stumbled backwards, but quickly regained his footing. He lunged forward again, determined to finish what he had started. Lucas, fueled by a primal need to protect his lover, grappled with the man with all his might.“Wake up Emma!!” Lucas yelled, she was obviously a deep sleeper, especially after the affair that they had.Emma was jolted awake by the commotion, her heart racing as she saw the terrifying scene unfolding before her eyes. She turned on the bedside lamp immediat
Emma sat at the head of the bed, her eyes heavy with fatigue, but her mind was racing with a million questions. She wrapped her arms around her legs and gazed at Lucas, who stood watch at the door, his back turned towards her. The room was dimly lit by the dying moonlight that seeped through the small window, casting a pale glow on their faces.Despite the warmth of the blankets around her, Emma shivered uncontrollably. The attack from the Lycan men had left her rattled, and Lucas put in a bad mood. Neither of them had been able to shake off the feeling of fear, anger and danger that still lingered in the air.Emma could tell that something was bothering aside from getting attacked by Lycans, he had come to get her from the underground tunnel after nearly thirty minutes and even though there were little to no scratches on his body, signifying that he won the fight, it felt like he lost. He had that look in his eyes, that of regret and sorrow, Emma couldn’t just understand what it was.
Lucas's heart was still racing from the adrenaline as they arrived at the hospital. The group stepped out of the car and hurried inside, with Max waiting anxiously for them in the hallway."Max, what happened?" Emma asked, her voice laced with concern. Although Lucas had already informed them that Max and Lily got into an accident, she wanted to know the details.Max let out a deep sigh before answering, "We were on our way home right after dropping Samantha and Simon off when we got ambushed by a Lycan. He put an obstacle on the way that caused us an accident, and then he came out of nowhere and attacked us. I managed to fend him off, but Lily was wounded from the accident before it."Samantha's eyes widened with shock and fear. "Is Lily okay?" she asked, her voice shaking, as she slightly forgot about her anger with Lucas.Max nodded reassuringly, "She's fine. Just a little shaken up and a small bruise on her head. The doctors checked her out and said she's going to be okay."Emma b
Lucas steps out of the hospital and takes a deep breath of fresh air. As he walks down the hallway and takes a few turns, he feels like he is being followed and intentionally heads towards an empty room. As he enters, he hears footsteps behind him and turns around to grab the person, only to realize it's Emma."Emma, what are you doing here? Were you spying on me?" Lucas asks, suspicion in his voice."Huh? Of course not. I… I wasn't spying on you," Emma replies, her voice soft and shaky. "I just wanted to talk to you.""Talk about what?" Lucas asks, trying to hide the confusion in his voice. “Last night?” he added immediately as it crossed his thoughts; of course he didn’t want to talk of last night, not the first or second activity.“Yes and no.” Emma shifted her weight from one foot to the other, her eyes avoiding his. "Last night. But not...not about what happened between us," she stammered, her cheeks flushing as she remembered having his lips explore all parts of her body.Lucas
