Chapter 9: Calm and Collected... Or Not.

EPOV

When Tabitha said she wanted to come back to my house with me; I couldn't believe it.

I had never wanted anyone so badly in my life, and I had only known her two days.

I still barely knew her, but I knew I truly loved her with every inch of my being. And that was enough for me.

As I drove both of us back to my place my hands shook while they gripped the steering wheel. I gulped nervously and risked a quick glance at Tabby. She was staring out the car window, watching the tall trees as we zoomed past them. Her breathing was perfectly normal.

Why was I freaking out? When I had had sex before, and gotten amazing feedback from all four girls.

I knew Tabby was a virgin, because her sister had said so the day before. And she looked calm and collected.

I didn't want to disappoint her sexually. How much of a loser would I look like then?

I stared out the window and tried to regulate my breathing. I clasped my hands together to keep them from shaking. I focused on the trees, all the while trying and failing to block out my own thoughts. I loved him so much more that I ever thought possible. I wanted to give myself to him.

But suddenly, a wave of terror washed over me. What if I couldn't satisfy him sexually? Why did I need to be so cocky all of a sudden and ask to come over? How much of a loser would I look like then?

As we pulled into the driveway I took a deep breath to steady myself.

Embry turned off the engine and got out of the truck without a word. He jogged around to my door and opened it for me. Staying silent, he took my hand and led me up the porch steps and into the small house.

Once we were inside he turned to face me. "It's not much, but its home." he said, blushing slightly.

I looked around the small living room and noticed each nook and cranny had more character in it than the last. It was more heart-warming than any house I had been in before. There were photographs everywhere; of the wolf pack, of Embry with an older woman I assumed to be his mother. A massive shelving unit held a huge stereo and was overflowing with books and CD's. The couch was covered in a massive throw blanked that had a giant picture of a wolf on it.

"I love it." I finally spoke.

He took a deep breath and gave me a disbelieving look. "You do?"

"Yes. It's perfect. It's just the kind of place I would love to live in." I said, still staring st everything.

"Would you?" he breathed.

"Yeah, that's what I just said."

"No, I mean. Would you maybe... I dunno, wanna move in with me? And live here?" He asked, his eyes never meeting mine.

"Really?" I couldn't help but smile like an idiot. "Embry, do you really mean that?"

"Of course I do. Tabby, I love you so much. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

"I love you too." I smiled

And with that he pulled me into his arms and kissed me. At that moment I was filled with so much love and devotion, that I couldn't help but let a small tear trickle down my cheek.

At that moment, Embry pulled back looking concerned. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah." I sniffed. "I'm just so glad I found you."

He smiled and kissed me again. After a few seconds the kiss deepened and I remembered why I asked to come over in the first place.

I looked up and saw that Embry's eyes were filled with lust and want. I watched him swallow slowly before he spoke.

"Baby? Do you want to come upstairs?"

"I thought you'd never ask?" I smiled and kissed him again before he took me by the hand and brought me upstairs.
