Tris POV
"Tris, are you alright."
I look up at Tobias. Am I alright no, not really I am petrified and uneasy as to what he might think. I nod my head and I can see him relax a little as he goes to sit on his, our bed. He pats the space next to him and I walk over to sit beside him.
There is less than half a foot between us. I don't look at him, I can't if I want to stay focused and I need to at this time. I take a shaky breath, and close my eyes.
"Tobias, I just need to know what your expectations are here, because if you're expecting…um that than you're going to be disappointed."
"Tris, what are you talking about?" I give him a knowing look. "You mean sex? Don't be stupid Tris, if that was all I was after than I wouldn't be going to you first."
I feel hurt and water fills my eyes, but I will not cry in front of him.
"Am going to go now." I start to get up but Tobias grabs my wrist and brings me back down onto the bed. I look away from him.
"Tris, no that is not what I meant, I meant that I know you aren't like that and I would never do anything to make you feel uncomfortable." He grabs my chin and makes me look at him. "This is all new to me too you know."
I look at him in his deep blue eyes, trying to comprehend what he is saying to me.
"Oh, OH I just assumed."
"Well you assumed wrong. Zeke and Uriah sure, but I just didn't want to be that way." I look back down at my hands, Tobias is no longer holding my wrist.
"I'm scared."
"You're scared… of me?" He inhales sharply and stands quickly off the bed. He walks clear to the other side of the room keeping his back to me. I slowly get up off the bed and walk towards him. I place my hand on his back and my other reaches around his powerful jawline to bring his face to mine. His eyes are closed.
"I'm not scared of you Tobias." He opens his eyes, and i see hurt in them. "I am only scared of what it is I want."
His eyes focus on mine. "And what is it that you want" He says turning his body towards me so that our faces are mere inches apart. "Me?"
I nod, as does he. I place my hand on his chest over his heart. It is racing.
"Are you scared of me too?"
"Terrified." He whispers before our lips melt into each other.
His hands wrap around my waist bringing me closer to him as I rise onto my toes and wrap my hands around his neck while my fingers play with the hair there.
Tobias POV
"Tobias, I just need to know what your expectations are here, because if you're expecting…um that than you're going to be disappointed."
"Tris, what are you talking about?" She looks at me and it takes me only a couple of seconds to decipher what she is telling me. "You mean sex? Don't be stupid Tris, if that was all I was after than I wouldn't be going to you first."
I see hurt flash in her eyes. Oh crap I said something wrong.
"Am going to go now."
She starts to get up but I grab her wrist and bring her back down on the bed. She look away from me.
"Tris, no that is not what I meant, I meant I know you aren't like that and I would never do anything to make you feel uncomfortable." I grab her chin and make her look at me willing for her to understand me. "This is all new to me too you know."
She looks at me for a moment. Her eyes widen and I know she understands what I am telling her.
"Oh, OH I just assumed."
"Well you assumed wrong. Zeke and Uriah sure, but I just didn't want to be that way."
She looks down at her hands. And speaks just barely above a whisper.
"I'm scared."
"You're scared… of me?" I cringe as I quickly get off the bed and walk to the other side of the room.
How can she be scared of me, I try to recall a time where I came off to rough or to strong. All I can think about is how I am when I train her, maybe she saw my jealously when I was worried about Eric. What if she thought more about our night at the waterfall and regrets it. I feel a soft hand on my back and her gentle fingers across my jaw, she forces my face towards her, and I close my eyes not wanting her to see the hurt in them.
"I'm not scared of you Tobias." My eyes open but I can't look her in the eyes not now. "I am only scared of what it is I want."
I glance up at her now, my eyes focusing on her grey orbs. "And what is it that you want "I compulsorily move my body so that I am now facing her, "Me?"
She nods as do I, she places her hand on my chest above my heart. It is racing.
"Are you scared of me too?" She takes a step closer, I lean down to her.
"Terrified." I whisper before our lips connect.
I wrap my hands around her waist bringing her closer to me, I don't want any space to exist between us. I make sure my hold on her is strong but not painful. I want her to be comfortable with me. She rises onto her toes and I feel her fingers grasping the hair on my neck. A soft growl escapes my lips and she smiles into me. I don't want this feeling to end. I need her and I want her though I know that is not going to happen any time soon.
I don't know why I do what I do next, I just couldn't help myself I guess. I lower my hands around her thighs. She gasps between our kisses, when I lift her up off the ground. She wraps her arms around my neck tighter but never stops kissing me I take it as a good sign and grab onto her tighter. She wraps her legs around my waist and I turn us so that her back hits the wall with a soft thud. I pull back slightly to catch my breath.
"Maybe I won't be scared of you anymore." She breathes out shakily.
I smile and press my lips back into her with more force then before. She lets a small moan escape her lips when mine brush up against her neck. I know if I don't stop soon we will get carried away or at least I will and I don't want to be that way with her, not after what she just told me. I stop kissing her which takes all the strength I can muster and rest my forehead to hers while trying to catch my breath. We are sharing the same air. I open my eyes and look at her as she blinks her eyes open. I smile, and chuckle, she blushes, I swoon. I let go of her and slide her down the wall to the floor. She pats her hair down and looks up at me.
"I love you Tobias." My heart skips a beat.
"I love you Tris." I honestly do.
