MissSparrow101: Hi, love. Glad to know you like Eleanor. Thank you so much for still reading and reviewing!

Lori: Hi, hon! Mort didn't do anything on purpose. He didn't go out in order to bug Ellie. He had to go for promoting his work. He doesn't really get that Isabelle likes him. But Eleanor does. So, thank you so much for your review, love. I am glad you liked it!

Chapter 10

Eleanor was sitting on her bed, thinking. Her eyes were fixated on the closet door when she felt a pair of lips on the back of her neck. She jumped and Mort's chuckle caused her to turn around. She found him smiling gently and she felt her cheeks blush in embarrassment.

"A penny for your thoughts, Ellie." He said with a smile and she shook her head.

"Nothing." She muttered and he frowned.

"Are you alright? Perhaps you're not feeling well?" he asked as he touched her cheek, his fingers lingering on her soft skin.

"N-no, I'm fine. Just…bored." She muttered and he smirked.

"Come with me." He said as he took her hand and pulled her to his room. Eleanor blinked but followed him nonetheless. He walked to his desk and sat down in his chair before he pulled her to his lap. She tensed but he placed a kiss to her cheek before he reached a hand to his laptop. He opened a file and rubbed her back.

"Give it a read. It's my new story." He said and she looked at him with wide eyes.

"You want me to read it?" she asked.

"Yep. I want you to read it and then tell me what you think. I only have the first couple of chapters ready. I want to know if it's worth continuing it or not." He said close to her ear, his breath brushing over the shell of it.

"Me?" she said and he nodded. Turning away from his eyes she leaned slightly forward and he pushed the chair closer to the desk so she could read it better. He leaned back and placed his hands on her hips as she made her self comfortable on his lap.

She started reading slowly, gradually relaxing sitting in his arms. Mort watched with anticipation the emotions that passed over her face as she read and he chuckled when he saw her tongue sticking out in disgust.

"Sorry, I had to put blood in that." He said laughing and she turned to look at him half smiling.

"Of course." She said as she returned to her reading. He settled his gaze on her neck and he used one of his hands to rub her shoulder gently. He leaned closer and rested his chin on her shoulder as he wrapped his arms around her waist. He placed a kiss to the side of her neck, feeling her shiver as he did so.

"So, what do you think, sweetheart?" he asked and she cleared her throat.

"I-I think it's good. Scary…but nicely written." She said as he nuzzled his nose in her neck.

"What about the love story?" he asked and she shifted in his arms.

"I don't know yet…I'll have to read the rest of it." She said and he smiled at how serious she sounded.

"Alright then. I'll try to finish it soon for you." He whispered as he gently nipped her ear.

"I am hungry." She said suddenly and he smiled.

"Me too…."

"Mort!" she said almost pouting and he placed a kiss to her cheek before he patted her thigh.

"Alright, alright. I'll order pizza. Go and sit on the couch. I'll bring a movie." He said as she stood up. She nodded and walked down to the living room while he picked his phone to order the food.

He made the order and then took a movie from his room and headed for the living room. He found her sitting on the couch looking at the television and plopped down next to her. She looked at him and he smiled.

"I ordered." He stated and she nodded.

"I got his movie for you the other day but I don't know if you'll like it. I tried to make it…girly." He said as he showed her a DVD case.

"Little Women." She said with a smile and he nodded nervously.

"Have you seen it?" he asked.

"Yes, but I don't mind seeing it again." She said and he smiled back at her.

"Okay." He said softly and she leaned close to place a kiss to his cheek. His eyes closed at the contact and his hand flew to her head to keep her close. He looked at her before he kissed her mouth gently. Eleanor's eyes closed and her hands settled on his back on their own accord. He groaned and pulled her forward, his arms rubbing her back.

"I love you." He gasped as he broke the connection to place soft kisses on her face. Eleanor's eyes widened when those words left his mouth and her arms tightened around him as response.

"You believe me, don't you?" he asked in her ear and she found herself nodding. Of course she knew that, his actions proved it those last weeks. The man was there only to please her. He never denied her anything she asked except from one thing; to let her go.

She shook her head from her thoughts when she felt his hand sliding under her top.

"W-what about the movie?" she asked and Mort's hand froze against her stomach.

"Of course." He whispered before he moved away. He put the movie in the player and the pizza arrived a few minutes later. That evening, she didn't resist lying in his arms until she fell asleep.

End of chapter 10

Author's note: Thank you for reading! I know it's short but it has to be. This is a filler chapter before something serious happens. Please review! :)
