So excited for what's to come! Enjoy!
Twenty-Five: Our World
Jane's POV
My heart was beating rapidly inside of my chest. Pounding so loudly that it was all I could hear, drowning out the waves and wind and... Seth.
Seth was Seth again.
I guess, he never really wasn't Seth, but now he was human Seth. Breathing, seeing, walking on two feet Seth who was suddenly coming right towards me.
He was naked.
I blinked a few times. Had he always been naked? I discreetly remembered him being nude the last time he spontaneously combusted into an animal, but everything was much too fuzzy in my mind to fully make out.
It was like my vision was blurry but instead of my eyes it was my head that couldn't see straight. The more I tried to get it to work the more it got fogged. I felt like I was dizzy a little bit. Numb.
I felt familiar, warm fingers against my cheeks, not enough to pull me from my daze, but a heat powerful enough for me to blink one more time, and notice him kneeling in front of me.
Seth's mouth was moving. His mouth was moving but I couldn't hear him. Or... could I? It was like his words were distant, his voice running away with the wind. Why was my heartbeat still so loud? And a buzzing- no, a ringing. A ringing. It was ringing.
Everything was ringing.
I squeezed my eyes tightly together. I just wanted it to stop. The sound was getting louder and louder. It was too loud. It was overwhelming. I couldn't hear my heartbeat anymore and that frightened me, but there was no stopping it.
I felt my body give out as I gave into the inevitable. Though I had no idea what was happening, I knew that I was powerless to fight against it.
And then, everything went dark.
I came to as my body was being swayed back and forth.
It was a terrible and irrational thought, but I swore for just a moment that I had somehow been thrown in the ocean and was slowly drowning. Honeslty, I had to give myself credit, it really wasn't that psychotic of a thought. Given my luck as of late, I wouldn't have been surprised if a vampire or wolf or headless corpe showed up out of nowhere and threw me in the water him-
I gasped up, realization swarming through my mind at an accelerated pace. I might have been in shock before, but that somehow aided in me digesting everything that had happened right now at the speed of light.
"Hey, hey, Jane," I heard a familiar and calming voice above all the panic, gently coaxing me to calm down.
My eyes lifted up to see Seth's face only a few inches above mine.
"Seth?" I asked, my voice small.
"It's okay, Jane," He set me down on the edge of the bed (I hadn't even realized we were inside) and then wrapped a blanket around me. I looked down, realizing that I also hadn't remembered that I was completely naked.
I tightly wrapped the blanket around my naked body. The possibility that whoever, whatever that was had seen me naked like this, had seen what Seth and I did...
"Seth," My mouth dropped. "Who- what- what happened?" My voice was hoarse and raw. I sounded as terrible as I felt, that was for sure.
"A vampire," Seth mumbled, his eyes wide and alert as he quickly rushed around the room collecting our things.
I gasped. "What?"
"Jane." He had suddenly grabbed my face in his hands again. "You're not hurt, are you?" His face was a mix of panic and regret as he examined every inch of my skin, not even trying to be discreet.
I shook my head.
"Are you sure?" He pushed, his forehead crinkling in concern. "I threw you back really hard. I'm so sorry," Seth's eyes watered. "I didn't mean to hurt you, Jane, but he was right there and lunged for you and I-,"
"He was?" My eyes bulged. "I hadn't even seen him."
Seth gulped. "You sure you're okay?" He stood up, blinking the tears from his eyes so that they were clear again.
I nodded. Words seemed to have left me at this point.
"Good." Seth pulled my head up to meet his. "I know you're confused, okay? I will explain everything, I promise. But right now, I need your help, Jane. It's not safe here. This is very important. We need to leave. We need to leave right now. Do you understand?"
Panic and fear rose in my chest as I quickly nodded my head. Seth was always calm. Even when the vampire had been at my back door. Even when that same person had tricked me into sleeping with him. He always maintained an aura of calmness and control in order to make me feel safe.
Seth wasn't calm right now.
I pulled away from his grasp. "Okay," I quickly blurted, reaching for my clothes off of the floor with shaky fingers. "Let's get out of here."
We worked quickly, having packed up what little belongings we brought in less than a minute, undoubtedly leaving items left behind, though, neither of us cared that much. I was feeding off of Seth's stress; Seth was a werewolf, so if he was worried, ordinary human me should be even more afraid.
Seth grabbed my hand, hastily pulling me towards the garage. Only, as we passed the large windows in the living room on our way out, something off in the distance caught my eye.
There, where we had just been, was a fire.
A moment later, Seth threw our bags into the backseat and I just barely managed to close my passenger side door before he peeled out.
Silence remained between us as he tossed me his phone.
"Can you call Jake?" He asked me, his jaw rigid and his hands wrapped tightly around the steering wheel. After a second he forced his eyes to mine. "Please," He added softer.
I nodded, quickly scrolling to his number and then putting it on speaker phone.
He answered on the third ring.
"Hey Sethy!" Jake's cheerful and usually joking voice rang through the phone. It was so out of place it was almost cringe-worthy. "How's your getaway go-,"
"Vampire," Seth suddenly cut him off. His voice was serious and left little room for anything but. "Tried to kill Jane. We're coming home."
A few seconds of silence came from the phone, until, "Where? When? What?"
I felt like I was getting dizzy again, and so I let my head drop back against the seat and closed my eyes.
I felt warm fingers reach for the phone out of my hand. He stroked the back of his finger down my wrist twice before reaching for it.
I just focused on my breathing.
"We were on the beach," Seth replied quickly. "I didn't even smell him- I wasn't paying attention and then he was just... he tried to jump on Jane. I pushed her out of the way and I killed him."
I gulped. Seth killed someone. The realization was hard to digest. Surely, a vampire wasn't a person, but lately the lines seemed to be getting blurry. If vampires weren't people than why were werewolves considered ones? How did murder change between creatures? Something about it made my stomach hurt.
"Where are you?" Jacob asked, and even though the phone I could tell that he had started running. "Where are you right now?"
"We're in the car," Seth answered. "Heading home. Can you intercept us?"
"We're coming," Jacob answered definitively.
I actually let out a breath of relief. For some reason, having all of the pack around right now made me feel much better than just having Seth.
"Seth?"
A pause.
"We have no idea why vampires are after Jane, which means two things. There might be more, and if there are, right now, you are the only person standing between you and that person. Don't let your guard down. Be careful."
The line went dead.
Seth's knuckles turned white against the steering wheel.
After a while of the call being dropped but Seth not making any inclination to turn his very bright phone screen off, I reached into his lap and pulled it towards me. I hit the lock button and then set it in the center console.
"Seth," I began.
"Jane," He cut me off, his eyes not leaving the road. "I really need you not to talk right now." I cringed. Wow; I hadn't expected that. "It's not you, really," He quickly clarified. "I just need you to not talk or touch me or do anything that could distract me. You heard what Jake said; I just really need to focus, love. I'm not trying to be mean I'm just-,"
"Stop," I held my hands up. "I understand. I'm going to try to get some sleep, anyways."
"Alright," Seth whispered, his eyes still on the road but his voice much softer. A second later, "I really wish I could hold your hand right now."
My lips twitched. "I guess I should be flattered that just holding my hand serves as a distraction for you."
"Jane," Seth looked pained. "Please, stop."
"Right," I blew the hair out of my eyes, laying back and closing my eyes.
Only, the last thing I could possibly do right now would be sleep. In fact, I knew that I only said that to make Seth feel like he could stop worrying about me. Quite obviously, he had a lot on his plate right now, which was why it was easy for me to remain completely possible with all the questions surging through my mind.
Question 1: Were there, like, hundreds of vampires around every turn? Because I've only met these werewolves recently and already been in danger from two and contact with a handful more?
Question 2: Was I vamp bait? What did they want with me? Was it normal for them to come after the same person twice?
Okay, maybe that was more than just one question, but I thought that I should probably write these down.
After what felt like hours of painful silence, I jumped when Seth suddenly let out an audible, long, deep breath and then reached for my hand.
I interlaced mine tightly with his, grateful to finally be able to talk.
"The rest of the p-," I blushed. I couldn't help it. "Ugh, you guys are here?"
Seth squeezed my hand. "The pack's here, Jane," He gave me a reassuring smile. "And Jake texted me and said that they didn't catch any scents. We're safe. You're safe."
I took a steadying breath and then nodded my head at him.
"Are you okay?" Seth asked gently, his face and his voice and his whole demeanor back to the Seth that I knew.
I bit the corner of my lip and nodded. I reminded myself that this wasn't the time nor place for tears.
"I'm okay," I whispered back, but my voice shook just a little bit, giving me away.
"Jane," Seth moaned. "I'm so sorry. Really." His eyes bore into mine. Of course, he was; I already knew that, so it bothered me that he seemed so intent on making me believe him. "I shouldn't have pushed you like that. It was too rough. I just- ugh- it was the first thing I could think to do."
My mouth dropped. "That's what you're worrying about?"
He looked me up and down. "Yeah."
I shook my head. "That's not even on my mind right now, Seth Clearwater. You saved my life, you don't need to apologize for how you did it."
Seth frowned. "What is on your mind, Janesie?"
I blew a piece of hair out of my face before tilting my head to steady my eyes with his. "Honestly, I'm just interested in why vampires can't seem to stay away from me."
"You and me both, sweetheart," Seth muttered, pulling my hand into his lap.
"So, this isn't... normal?"
Seth shot me a patronizing expression.
I sighed. "I was beginning to come to that conclusion."
"It's fine," Seth nodded as to convince himself and then ran his thumb along my hand. "I mean, it's not fine," He clarified once he noted my critical expression. "It's very not fine, but I'll never let anything happen to you or anyone hurt you. You know that, right?"
I smiled gently at him. "Yes, Seth. Not that you needed any proof, but you throwing me halfway across the beach was a little bit of an inclination."
He shook his head at me. "I'm serious," He stated sternly, his voice filled with emotion. "Nothing's going to happen to you regardless. So, even in the time until we figure out what's going on, there's really nothing to worry about."
I knew that all Seth was doing right now was trying to convince me that all was well, but it sounded downright ridiculous not to worry about being killed when I had almost died so many times in the last few weeks.
"Jane?" His voice was coaxing and warm.
"What?" I whispered over to him.
"You sure you're okay?"
I let out a long breath. "I... think so. I don't know, Seth. Is it immature if I really don't want to talk about it?"
"Of course not," Seth reassured me. "We'll probably be talking with the pack about it all night, anyways."
My stomach dropped.
Great.
The rest of the drive was much less stressful than the first half. Though Seth vetoed music, he did spend a lot of the time talking about random, casual things that adequately got my mind away from almost being murdered... again.
Only, when we pulled into Sam and Emily's driveway, my heart sunk. There were so many cars. So many cars. The lawn was full and we had to drive a little waze away. I realized that Seth could sense my nerves once we parked the car and started walking towards the front door.
"Everything's going to be okay," He wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "You have nothing to be nervous about, Jane. This is what we do. We protect people from vampires; these people just aren't usually so important to us."
I leaned into his side. "Why do we always come to Sam's house even though Jake's the alpha- did I say that right?" I asked, changing the subject with a question that I had always wanted to know.
"You did. That's a long story," Seth laughed.
I frowned. "Don't I get to know it?"
Seth raised his eyebrows at me. "Of course, you do. I wasn't saying that meaning I wasn't going to tell you, just that right now's probably not the best time."
"I'm sorry," I crossed my arms tightly. "I think I'm just in a weird mood."
"You're perfectly fine, Jane," Seth hugged me tighter. "It's been a long night."
Lena popped out from behind the front door and started jumping over to me.
"And it's only just beginning," I moaned, just as she barrel hugged me and hung on like a koala.
"Easy," Seth chuckled, making sure that I stayed standing.
"Are you alive?" Lena jumped back down onto her own two feet.
"Barely," I grinned.
"Thank God," Lena rolled her eyes. "You're the only girlfriend I've ever had and I'm pretty sure you're an anomaly so you need to stay alive. Okay? Fuck, you're like a walking nightmare."
I rolled my eyes, walking up the porch to where Embry was holding the door for us.
"Is she this sweet to you, too?" I asked Embry with a roll of my eyes.
"Always," He smacked her butt as she walked in and I suppressed a laugh. Lena and Embry had to be two of the raunchiest people put together into a somehow adorable couple.
"Awe, Jane," Surprisingly, Leah was the first to hug me aside from my very upfront friend. She squeezed me tightly before pulling away. "You're supposed to be into werewolves not vampires, remember?" She squeezed my shoulders.
I shrugged. "I must just be getting my mythological creatures confused.
Leah chuckled. "I'm glad you're okay," She told me.
"We are too!" The funny one married to Kim who I always seemed to forget the name of (what is it... Jared, yes!) added as he brushed past us. "Sethy here was a walking zombie when you left him; imagine if you actually died? Then we'd be left to deal with him!"
"Jared," Kim sighed, shaking her head.
Jared laughed, but leaned down to give her a big kiss. He went to pull away but she latched her arms around his neck and smiled sweetly at him. Whispering something that the rest of the room wasn't privilege to hear, he leaned in and kissed her once more.
I blushed and looked towards my feet. Now that I knew about imprinting, it was impossible not to notice the infatuation and love among the couples. Infatuation wasn't the right word, but there was an element to each of them that was different because of the imprint that was hard to explain. It was just obvious that every guy was entirely enamored with their girl. They adored them.
"Oh, Jane," Lena's mom jutted her lower lip before smiling sympathetically at me. She held her hands out in ofference of a hug, and I couldn't explain how much gratitude I felt towards her for being the first one to ask if it was okay to hug me or not.
I stepped into her and let her give me a tight hug, rubbing my back a few times before I stepped away. I fought back tears; sometimes a hug from a good mom was all you needed.
"Sweetheart," Emily was next. She gave me a warm hug of her own that was so familiar and comforting because she always managed to somehow smell like freshly baked bread. "I'm so sorry. That must have been terrifying."
"It's okay," I brushed off her concern. Honestly, I despised all this attention. "Where are all the kids?"
"Sleeping," She smiled at me. "They'd love to see you soon. They've been asking Nessie and Claire."
"Oh, right," I chuckled. "I forgot it's five in the morning. I'm so sorry for waking you all up," I spoke to the room as a whole.
"I think I speak for everyone here when I say 'shut up, Jane'!" Embry grinned at me.
Lena laughed wildly, while the rest of the room either nodded in agreement or rolled their eyes.
I smiled. "My bad."
Seth rubbed my back. Surprised, I turned around to notice that Seth still had his hand on the small of my back. He gave me a supportive smile and I gave him a questioning one of my own. It was obvious that Seth was freaked out, but he had hardly said a word since we got here, and he still had his hand on me like he was worried about leaving me alone, even in a room filled with werewolves.
There was a tiredness behind his eyes that freaked me out. "Why don't we sit down?" I suggested.
Seth nodded quickly.
"Good idea," Embry agreed. "Move over, woman." He shoved Lena off of her chair but then caught her and pulled her into his lap before she ever hit the floor.
"You're so annoying," Lena told him seriously, but the smile on her face gave her away.
I took a seat where she had been while Seth pulled up a chair close to me.
"Sorry," Jacob walked through the side door with a few more people: Quil, his wife Claire, Renesmee, their son Jason, and Sam and Emily's son, the shy one whom I hated to admit I forgot the name of.
"Hey," Jake's expression fell to that of concern. "You guys okay?" He looked at Seth and then me. "Jane?"
I nodded. "I'm fine."
"She's freaked out," Seth disagreed with me.
I gasped just the tiniest bit. "Seth," I mumbled, noticing how the room quieted and the tone of the conversation went light to serious all of a sudden.
He cocked his head at me. "It's true, Jane."
I bit the corner of my lip, looking into my lap. "I'm fine."
"Did you recognize the face?" Jacob asked me.
I shook my head. "I didn't even see him."
"I didn't," Seth spoke slowly. "I've never seen him before."
"Do you have any," Quil cleared his throat. "I mean, is there any way the Cullen's could look at the thing?"
I cringed.
"No. He's already been taken care of," Seth replied.
I frowned. "You mean he's dead," I suddenly turned towards him. Seth's eyes widened. "Right?" I pushed. "You did kill him, correct?"
"That thing's not a him, Jane," Sam snarled, his arms crossed as he leaned against the wall.
"Yeah, they're monsters, Jane. Bad, creepy, cold things," Jared agreed.
I noticed Nessie frown but she kept her lips pressed together. I was suddenly annoyed; that was her family they were talking about.
"Still," I mumbled. "You killed someone."
"Those things aren't even alive!" Sam suddenly shot at me.
Tears immediately sprung up in my eyes, and then, in a moment of pure and total frustration mixed with a whole bunch of fear and confusion, I lost it.
"Don't yell at me!" I screamed, leaning forward in my chair.
Sam's eyes widened as the room as a whole gasped at my outburst. It was so unlike me that I could tell even Seth was surprised.
Then, I felt his hands touch my shoulders. Seth pulled me back in my seat as I suddenly became extremely embarrassed.
"Ugh," I mumbled after a moment of extended silence. "Please."
Lena giggled.
I narrowed my eyes at her, and she covered her mouth with her hand.
"Let's, ugh, just stick to the situation at hand, yeah?" Paul offered, a warm smile on his face.
I nodded, grateful for that uncomfortable situation to be over with.
"What are you thinking, Jane?" Jacob suddenly asked, his eyes filled with patient concern and understanding. I could tell how he was the alpha; he had an incredible way of taking control of situations, though he seemed very in touch with everyone's feelings.
"I just," I moaned and then rubbed my face. "I'm tired," I suddenly blurted. "I'm tired and I'm sticky from being on the beach and I'm just confused. I'm so confused. And I know that I'm probably wrong about this but I don't want to think about anyone getting murdered because of me, regardless of whatever or whoever he was."
A beat passed.
"What were you doing on the beach at three am?" Lena blurted.
My entire face engulfed in heat.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me," Lena burst out laughing. "You wonderful little whore! I'm so proud of you!" She leaned over the seat to give me a hug.
"Lena!" Scarlett scolded.
"So glad we covered that," I pushed her away. "Anything else?"
"So," Embry began slowly, his eyes lost in thought.
"Dude," Seth's voice was suddenly harsh. "Stop."
Did I mention I loved Seth?
"Look," He held his hands up. "I'm not trying to make anyone uncomfortable, but I'm just putting two and two together, here. Weren't you two, ugh, getting freaky the last time this happened?"
Lena gasped. "Oh my God, Jane! That's true!"
I turned to Seth. I felt like crying again. "I'm done with this conversation," I told him seriously, begging in my tone.
Seth pulled me to him. "Embry and Lena need to leave."
"What?" Lena gasped.
At the same time Embry exclaimed, "What did I do?"
"Great idea!" Mr. Lahote agreed, pointing towards the exit.
"If you two can't have a mature conversation we don't want you here," Seth agreed. I felt Lena's eyes look for mine, but I kept my gaze firmly locked on my hands in my lap.
A few more complaints and multiple grumbles later, Lena and Embry left the kitchen. I should have probably let her stay; she was my best friend after all, but honestly, right now in the moment I was pretty pissed at her. She had embarrassed me in front of a room of people and parents.
"Sorry about that," Scarlett smiled guiltily.
I took a deep breath. "Well, now that we've put to rest the idea that I'm some sort of vampire sex symbol," I heard Seth chuckle from next to me. "What now?"
"Well," Jacob sighed. "We need to figure out why they're coming for you Jane. What's interesting to me is that in both instances, vampires seemed to come from places far away, right to you. It wasn't like they stumbled upon you, it was like they came for you."
I gulped.
"Great. You're like vampire cat-nip," Jared nodded.
"But why me?" I heard myself asking. "I mean, I wasn't even a part of this world until recently. How do they even know who I am? Let alone want to kill me."
A few gazes around the table suddenly caught around the table. I felt as if everyone was having their own, personal and very secret conversations without me.
"What?" I finally asked.
Jared began to speak but Jacob held his hand up.
"Jane," He began slowly.
"Maybe we should wait to have this talk," Seth suggested from behind me.
I turned towards him, confused. His face filled with lines of concern only confused me more.
"What?" I asked. "Why?"
Seth shook his head. "Not tonight. Trust me, okay?"
I frowned. "But I want to talk about it now."
"Just," Seth began, his face uneasy. "No, I don't think so. No."
I narrowed my eyes at him. "Why?"
"I think that we might need some information on your parents, Jane," Jacob finally blurted.
The room was so quiet, I swore that I could have heard a pin drop.
I opened my mouth but then shut it. I did that a few more times before I finally was able to speak.
"My parents," I had to clear my throat. "Had absolutely nothing to do with this."
Jacob looked at his lap.
"I-,"
"I think we should call it a night," Scarlett popped in.
"I agree," Emily stood up. "Jane, Seth, you'll stay here."
"Thanks, but I- I would really just like to go home," I whispered, feeling the flood gates coming rapidly and wanting nothing more than to crawl underneath my covers and forget about this whole, terrible night.
"You need to stay here, where we can protect you, until further notice," Sam explained, though from the distance he put between us, I could tell that he was a tad worried about saying "no" to me considering my prior outburst.
"What?" I froze. "No, Seth!" I turned to him. "I don't want to leave my home. I can't stay here."
Seth, suddenly looking extremely tired, ran his hand over top of his face. "Just for tonight, Jane, please? We'll talk tomorrow, I promise."
I swallowed down the lump in my throat. I was so overwhelmed with feelings right now. I felt like a nascence for doing anything other than agreeing with them and thanking them for their help, but I also felt anger towards them for their world... their world in which brought me Seth, but also brought me fear and danger. Humiliation at Lena and Embry's insinuation was still inside of me along with pure dread and sadness at the suggestion that my parents had anything to do with this.
I nodded. "I'm sorry," I squeaked, my throat closing up.
Seth's eyes softened. "Don't be sorry, Jane," He wrapped an arm around my back and pushed me to his chest. With shaking fingers, I grabbed a bunch of his shirt as he started moving me backwards towards the stairs. I felt my knees give out from under me as Seth pulled me into his arms, cradling me tightly to his chest as he walked us upstairs.
Once inside the bedroom, Seth set me on the bed and then went to close the door. I looked around, déjà vu hitting me instantaneously.
"You know," I began softly.
Seth pressed his back against the door and closed his eyes for a moment too long before looking down at me. "What?"
"The last time I was in this room was the first time I ever met you."
Seth stared at me for a few seconds before beginning to slowly walk over to me.
"I remember thinking that you were the most beautiful girl I had ever seen," He told me simply.
I fought a smile. Smiling seemed impossible at this point, but then Seth spoke to me.
"You make everything better," I felt my eyes tearing up before I saw it occlude my vision. "Seriously. I feel like my whole world is falling apart and you say one thing to me and I feel whole again. You're just... I just- I love you, Seth."
"Jane." He reached for me off of the bed and then pulled me to his chest.
I couldn't help it anymore.
I cried gently as he wrapped his strong, hot arms around me. I felt so safe when Seth was holding me like this, and I needed the comfort so much right now.
"I'm sorry that didn't go so well," He whispered into my ear. "It's okay, baby. Let it out and we'll figure it out. I love you, too," He cooed into my ear.
I nodded my head and then pulled my head back to angrily swipe at my eyes. "I- I'm sorry. Do you think Lena's mad at me?"
Seth rolled his eyes. "Lena and Embry have a hard time being appropriate. They should be apologizing to you, Jane."
I shrugged. "I don't like anyone being mad at me."
"I think you're delirious, Jane," Seth told me softly, brushing my cheeks with his thumbs. "Let's go to sleep."
I shook my head. "I need to shower. I feel disgusting."
"Jane," Seth's voice was gentle but assertive. "You will for sure fall asleep while showering."
"Can't you help me?" I frowned.
Seth's lips pulled up into the first genuine smile he shared with me since the altercation. "Always, love," He whispered sweetly.
Seth and I's shower was nothing like the one past. For one thing, we didn't have sex, and for another, it consisted of me practically sleeping on Seth's chest as he washed my hair and got sand out of places that were embarrassing for his hands to wash, though I was too tired to really care.
After, he helped me into a towel and handed me a toothbrush. I didn't even bother brushing my hair before getting into bed. It was going to be hell in the morning, but I was too tired.
"Do you want a shirt?" Seth asked me gently, going to the dresser across the room.
I shook my head as I rested it against the pillow.
"Alright, baby," Seth whispered before dropping his towel and searching for clothes for himself.
I frowned. "Don't put anything on," I mumbled, sleepy and incoherent.
Seth raised an eyebrow at me. "No?"
I shook my head. "Come here."
He stared at me for a few seconds before doing what I demanded. Naked, Seth slipped into bed next to me and didn't hesitate to pull me towards him. My chest pressed into his hot one, and though I felt him shiver, it was obvious that he was going to keep this completely platonic as he started rubbing my back in slow circles.
"Sleep well, Jane," He whispered into my ear. "I'll be right here all night."
I moaned and pushed on his chest just enough so that I could kiss him.
He kissed me back, though when he went to pull away I latched my leg around his torso and slid my hand down his stomach.
Seth's breath caught in his throat when I wrapped my hand around the length of him.
"Jane," He half moaned and half asked.
"I want you," I whispered with my eyes closed, parting my lips in hopes that he would kiss me.
"You're exhausted, baby," He stoked my cheeks in his hands.
"I don't care," I mumbled. "I want to fall asleep that close to you. It makes me feel so safe, Seth. It's hard to explain. Please?"
Seth's lips gently brushed against my own. "Of course, Jane," He explained slowly. "I just don't want to take advantage of you."
"I go into another world when you're touching me," I mumbled. "I need that. I need you."
"Okay, Jane," Seth kissed me deeper, and then rolled ontop of me.
Thoughts!? I'll update ASAP *cheers for fast updating from such a slightly author!*
