He fell on the side walk behind her with a startled yelp as his hand crushed his cup of cider. Spattering her pants and shoes with it and causing her to jerk and move so that her back was up against the store window, staring down at him with those beautiful wide violet eyes of hers.
He could feel a flush of embarrassment coloring his cheeks as he stared back. And for the first time in his ancient life of dealing with humans, felt at a loss. But he knew that if he didn't do something, and fast, the girl would likely think him a creep trying to pull something on her and kick the crap out of him.
Which he would admit to deserving for checking out her ass. Sort of.
And so, thinking quickly- Adrian flipped himself up off of his back and without breaking eye contact with her, slowly got back to his feet again and then said, "Well I guess what they say is true. Don't step on a crack or you'll fall and break you're back."
She narrowed her eyes at him just a bit and said in a frost tone that positively sent shivers down his spine and did other things to his cock and balls, "I thought the saying was, don't step on a crack or you'll break your mother's back."
Causing Adrian to look horrified for a moment before he stuck his full bottom lip out in a mock pout, making sure that it trembled a bit as he said weakly, "No. Not mummy. Anyone but mummy." She looked at him funny and he inwardly sighed and stopped being a smartass since his humor and wit were getting him nowhere and fast as the girl suddenly asked,
"You were checking out my ass, weren't you?" There was a slight hint of annoyance in her tone that made anything he thought of saying to her next seem like a bloody trap of some kind. In fact, his self preservation instincts were practically screaming at him to ignore the question altogether as he opened and closed his mouth several times before finally settling on a nice firm head shake.
Which in mid shake somehow turned into a not so nice nod earning him a glare from his girl a moment before she sighed and muttered, "Come with me." As she grasped his cider covered wrist and dragged him around the corner of the building so that they were both in an alley between buildings where he found himself being pushed up against one of the brick walls rather roughly and blinked down at her as she brought his sticky hand up to her mouth and began to lick off the cider.
And at the first touch of her tongue against his skin, several things happened all at once.
1) The whole myth about a reaper's heart starting to beat only when they met their true destined mate. Turns out that was true since Adrian's heart began to beat wildly in his chest. Somewhere just behind his ribs.
2) His eyes- His useless for anything but work eyes, suddenly showed him the future. His. Future.
He could see it all from beginning to end. He could see himself with the girl before him now, on his knees, pressing her back against a wall or door, his mouth on her sex. Drinking her sweetness down, devouring her cream. One of her hands tightly fisted in his hair and the other gripping one of his shoulders as she tried to buck her hips in ecstasy.
He could see visions of them together, both in the bedroom and in other places doing other things. But nothing made his inhuman heart beat quite like the vision of her standing in her kitchen/their kitchen? Fixing a pot of tomato soup, wearing a maroon colored sweater that hugged her body to perfection. And he could easily see why.
When she turned her body in the vision, he could easily make out the outline of a slightly basketball sized swollen stomach. And he felt his breath hitch in his throat at how beautiful she looked.
Closing his green gold eyes for a moment, he felt almost overwhelmed by everything that he had just seen when the vision stopped and he then felt a small pair of feminine hands on his ass as he heard his mate say. "You checked out my ass so this is only fair." And had to choke back the urge to laugh hysterically at her words and grab her and pin her against the building at his back and ravish her senseless.
However doing so in the current day and age was considered bad, not to mention it may hurt any and all future endeavors he may plan so that they could get together. However until then...
Those small hands fell away from his ass and he almost let out a pathetic whimper but instead managed to bite the sound back as he slowly opened his eyes and clenched his jaw until he thought he broke two or three of his teeth from the sheer force he put behind it as he watched, from under lowered lashes as his mate walked away from him and disappeared.
