The Unsuspecting

Chapter 15

*Sean's POV*

    We all reached the point where we're ready to go to bed. I brought Bell up to my bedroom so she can sleep. She seemed to be pretty drained of energy after the day we've had. I went to my closet and found a the smallest shirt I had in there along with a pair of small boxers she can wear to sleep in. She was sitting on the edge of my bed with her eyes closed when I turned around. I stood there and used this chance to just stare at her. Every now and then she gets stuck in her own head like she has so many thoughts bouncing around that she needs to block out the rest of the world in order to sort through it all. It's one of the most attractive things about her. When we're on campus, I'll see all the other students scrolling through social media as a way to pass time, but Bells will sit there in silence and organize her thoughts during her spare time. I wish more than anything that I could hear what she's thinking.

    Unfortunately I know that she could sit like this for hours if she wanted to and I know that she needs some sleep if she's going back to her hometown tomorrow. "Bell" I say to get her attention. She opens her eyes and I get stuck in her deep blue eyes. The urge to mark her neck starts to rise, but I push it down because I know she's not ready for that yet. I was prepared to offer to sleep in one of the guest bedrooms, but I don't know if I'd be able to leave her alone. "I'll show you where the bathroom is so you can get ready for bed." I say.

    She cautiously stands up and follows me a couple doors down the hallway. I open the bathroom door and set the clothes on the counter then turn to her, "Umm, I grabbed some of my smaller clothes you can use to sleep in, and there are spare toothbrushes and toothpaste in the top drawer." I awkwardly look around to see if there's anything else I need to mention. Girls usually spend hours in the bathroom, but what do they usually do during that time? "Umm, there are several female pack members who also use this bathroom, so you could probably find some face soap in here somewhere if you want to wash your face?..." I look at her to see if she's at all interested in looking for any female products. But when I look at her, she's grinning at me like I just said the stupidest thing. What did I say?

    Her eyes gleam a little and it makes me a little nervous because I've never seen that look on her before. She slowly enters the bathroom with her eyes zeroed in on me. She places her hands on my waist and starts to push me backwards until I sit down on the lid of the toilet seat. My heart races as she situates herself onto my lap with her legs on the outside and my hands move to her hips without my consent. She's looking down at me with the most beautiful and seductive smile. I swear she knows exactly what she's doing to me. She slowly moves closer to my face looking directly at my lips. I can't take this torture anymore. I move one hand up to the back of her head and pull her towards me.

    The minute our lips touch I entered absolute bliss. With my enhanced hearing I could tell she stopped breathing entirely. I gently move my lips against hers then backed up an inch so she could take in some air. It still took another second for her to inhale and I was starting to worry a little bit. After her color returned to her face she looked a little embarrassed. I didn't want her to feel embarrassed in front of me so I kissed her softly on the cheek to show her that there's nothing to be embarrassed about. 

    When I looked at her eyes all I could see was worry and sadness. It broke my heart and the need to fix this took me over completely. "What's wrong baby?"

    I saw her shiver a little when I called her baby and I couldn't help the smile on my fade when I saw the affect I had on her after just saying one word. The look in her eyes was still there though so I just waited patiently until she got the nerve to tell me what was on her mind. It took a few moments, but eventually she realized that I wasn't going to change the subject. 

    "In the hallway I got a few strange looks from some of your pack members and you said that there are other girls living in here with you. Sharing the same bathroom as you. It just made me a little worried that some of them were vying for your attention, so I thought I could seduce you... Show you that I can be just as sexy as they can be... It's really stupid I know. I'm not really that type of person who's able to seduce someone and after the kiss, I think my plan really backfired." she said as she looked from my hair to my chest and the wall behind me. 

    I put a finger under her chin so she would look into my eyes, "Bells, you are my mate. My one true love. Our match was made in Heaven. Because of that, we're able to feel things with each other that you wouldn't be able to feel in a regular relationship. When we touch we feel little currents of electricity because we're meant to be on a molecular level." I look into her eyes to make sure that she understands the she's the only one I can ever feel this way about. "Besides, our pack doesn't date people who aren't our mates, so you're the first and only person I have ever and will ever kiss." I say cheekily. She lets out a slight gasp and her eyes widen dramatically in a way that makes her blue eyes lighten and almost glow. 

    "I'm your first kiss?" she asks softly. I nod yes and rub my nose against hers before I go in for another brief kiss. I see her lick her lips afterwards and it makes me want to lean in and lick them myself. She smiles as she thinks through everything she just learned and says, "You're an amazing kisser. I feel like I've only ever kissed frogs before you."

    I know this is meant to be a compliment, but I can't help but reel back when she said that she's kissed other guys. I can't stop the low growl that emits from deep inside, "Exactly how many frogs are we talking about here?"
