Chapter 25

I stood there looking at Eddie like he had two heads. I didn't think I heard him right until he pulled me into his arms and asked again. "Stay with me?"

I felt tears spring to my eyes hoping beyond hope that he wasn't ready for that because I surely was not. We had only been together for a few weeks and I hadn't even once thought about that.

"Eddie, I'm not-"

He cut me off pulling him closer to him, snuggling his face into my hair. "I don't want to do anything. I'm not ready for that. I just want to hold you."

I could feel him smile into my neck as he kissed it. "I want to be the one you want to hold you while you sleep. Adrian got to and you didn't want it with him, do you want me to hold you while you sleep Sam?"

I felt like all the breath in my body had been sucked out of me. I just stood there in his arms stiff, ridged. Did I want him to hold me? Yes. Hell yes I wanted him to hold me. Was I afraid that it would turn into something more. Yes, yes I did.

"Sam?" Eddie asked now looking at me with concern.

"Eddie, I don't know. You are the one I want to hold me at night while I sleep, but I'm not ready for anything more."

Eddie grabbed me pulling me into a soft kiss. He brushed my bottom lip with his tongue asking for permission to deepen the kiss which I gladly allowed. His tongue met mine in heated fury trying to fight for dominance. He fisted his hands into my hair and I let out a low moan as heat began to spread through my body. It was like nothing I had ever felt before. My legs were quaky and I felt week and dizzy holding onto him so I wouldn't fall. He pulled away too soon and grinned down at me.

"That is as far as I'm ready to go Sam. And even if I was ready, I would wait until you were ready." He gave me another quick kiss. "If you decide to stay, you know where my room is."

I stood there for a few minutes looking like a complete Idiot trying to figure out what I was supposed to do with this offer. I decided that I needed to talk to Rose and Lissa. I took off running in the direction of Adrian's dorm because I could feel that he was with them. It was the strangest freaking feeling in the world. There really are no words to describe the tingly feelings that run through my body when the 'bond' is working. Sometimes, it's really crappy.

As I yanked the door opened to guest housing I nearly plowed into Adrian, Rose and Lissa. I barely had time to stop when Adrian grabbed me by my shoulders looking me over like a madman.

"What the hell is your problem Adrian?" I asked trying to figure out how much Vodka he had in his system.

"You're okay? You're not hurt?" he asked panic in his voice.

"I'm fine, now would you tell me what the hell your issue is?"

Rose and Lissa were looking at me like I had grown a tail and was speaking in Japanese.

"Sam," Lissa said still eyeing me with caution. "Were you feeling strong emotions just a few minutes ago?"

I looked between the three of them and nodded. I was actually starting to get a little worried that something was wrong with me that I didn't know about.

"I…um…Well, Eddie asked me to stay with him tonight and I kind of freaked out a little."

"Well hot damn," Rose said grinning. "You two finally are going to move things up a notch huh?"

I frowned at her and shook my head. "No, we are not ready for that just yet. He just wants to hold me. And that's beside the point. Why are you guys so interested in my feelings?"

"Sam, I was pulled into your head," Adrian said looking at me with curiosity.

"You what?!" I screeched. "Oh hell no. No, I thought it was supposed to be the other way around. Rose told me that it would be me getting sucked into your fucked up neurotic mind. I was supposed to get some privacy." I was starting to panic. I looked between my friends as my breath came in shallow gasps and my world started spinning.

"Sam, you need to calm down." I don't know who was talking to me. I didn't care. This could not be happening. I couldn't even have my own mind. I was sharing it with Adrian and he was going to be able to get in whenever he wanted. It wasn't bad enough that he stalked Rose, Lissa and I while we slept, but now, he could get in while I was awake.

I felt hands pushing me down. "Sam, you're going to pass out if you don't breath. Someone go get Stan or Dimitri quick. Whoever you can find I don't fucking care, just go." That must have been Rose. Lissa would never swear. Everything around me went black, but I knew I hadn't passed out because I could feel and hear everything going on around me. I could tell I wasn't blinking because my eyes stung. I should really blink them, but I just couldn't. I was detached from the world. Something inside me had finally broken. I was not a complete person, but just part of a whole. I may have my body to myself, but my mind was another story. My feelings, thoughts, hopes, dreams, nothing was mine anymore. I didn't know how to handle this news.

"I don't know, she just freaked out," I heard. Lissa.

"She found out Adrian could get into her mind," Rose.

"What do you mean, Adrian can get into her mind," Stan.

I still couldn't move. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't see. My life was being torn apart.

"She was freaking out and I got sucked into her head. Like Rose gets sucked into Lissa's, I got sucked into Sam's," Adrian.

I wanted to say something, anything.

I started to feel the panic rise in my stomach and soon I was no longer in the dark, but looking down at myself. My eyes were dark and vacant.

"Her aura is golden and black. She's in my head." I head Adrian talking as I was looking through his eyes. It was the craziest thing I had ever experienced. It was like when you hear about people who have near death experiences and look down at themselves, except I was looking at myself through Adrian's eyes. Not right in so many ways.

I don't know how long I was stuck in his head. I tried everything to get out, but I couldn't. I concentrated on my mind, my body, and my senses as hard as I could. Someone must have called Eddie to see if he could help because he was now in front of me shaking me.

"Come on Sam. You need to come back to your own body now because if you still want to cuddle tonight, I am so not hugging onto Adrian."

I heard Rose snort and looked over at her choking on her laugh.

"I'm going to pretend I didn't just here that," Stan barked at Eddie.

I rolled my eyes and the next thing I know I was looking into Eddie's eyes. I was back in my own body. I took a deep breath feeling like I had been holding it the entire time.

"Sam, you ever do that to me again and I will literally kick your ass," Rose said pulling me up.

I looked between my friends…well really they were my family and smiled. "Well, it looks like our bond…works both ways; which really sucks ass if you ask me. Now, neither of us is safe."

I may have put on a smile on the outside and joked about it, but on the inside I was screaming for the way things used to be, when my mind was my own. I didn't know how I was going to deal with that. I didn't know what it would mean for Eddie and me to grow into our relationship if Adrian was sucked into my head every time my emotions got a little heated. And Adrian being Adrian probably wouldn't try to get out if things were…well…good. I loved my friends to death, but this bond thing was really starting to scare the crap out of me and I didn't know how I was going to handle it. So for now, I would just put on a smile and act like everything was peachy and figure it out as it came. I just hope I didn't lose my freaking mind in the process…literally.

WOWA yeah i know freaky right???? So if you like where this is going and want more...Review!
