Chapter 9: Sickly Mornings

I closed the door behind me and leaned against the wall running my hands over my face. When he said that Harley would be fine in a couple of hours I wasn’t sure if I believed him but after only two he is high on pain killers and mattress surfing down the stair case. The only trace of what had happened in the woods only a few hours ago was a small scar on his skin which would more than likely heal in a few days or so I’ve been told.

We were having such a nice time on the mountain side until Harley had stepped on that trap. Carter had gone crazy when we got back, all of his anger directed at Liam. Apparently the people in the town who were still human have been putting bear traps in the woods for the last couple of months. So we gave him some strong painkillers and waited for it to heal with some disinfectant and now it’s all like a bad dream.

“Hiding are we?” I heard Carter’s voice coming from my right. I turned and saw him mirror my pose against the wall with his hands in his pockets and a lazy smile across his face.

“Maybe.” Yes, yes I am, but could you blame me? It was like a theme park gone wrong out there.

He chuckled at me shaking his head from side to side slightly whilst looking down at the floor before back up at me. Our eyes locked and I could see his blue eyes were darker now, but still so entrancing. His smile dropped to a more seductive one as he took a few steps closer, closing the gap between us. I craned my neck to look at him and let a small smile creep on to my face as my eyes darted between his strong, intense gaze and his plush red lips that seemed more inviting now then they have ever before.

He leaned down so that his fore head was resting against mine while his hands moved from my shoulders down my arms until his fingers were interlaced with mine. He moved our hands above our heads pinning them against the wall while his lips crashed down onto mine. The kiss was slow and soft as my lips moulded against his and a small moan escaped my lips, his body pressed harder against mine as his tongue ran over my bottom lip and then into my mouth.

I gave into his slowly rhythm while my hands itched to be released from their shackles that were his hands. I wiggle my hands free of his with great difficulty and moved them into his hair where I grabbed a fist full tugging at it slightly and bringing him closer to the embrace. His hands braced against the wall for a moment before sliding down my curves all the way down to the back of my thighs where he lifted me up and pressed me against the wall allowing my legs to wrap around his waist.

He broke the kiss and leaned his forehead against mine once again while we both struggled to catch our breaths.

“Maybe we should move from the hallway.” I said in my breathy voice as a small smile was painted on my face.

He smiled back at me letting go of a small chuckle before kissing me again and moving from the wall. He shifted me as he reached for the door handle for the bedroom allowing us to get some privacy before kicking the door shut and walking over towards the bed. He lowered me down onto the bed before following me down.

Breaking the kiss again he reached down and grabbed the hem of my t-shirt, lifting it up and over my head, chucking it aside while my own hands went to work by discarding his own shirt. He pushed me back down on the bed as he bought his lips back down to my neck, placing small butterfly kisses along my jawline and down my neck following the centre line of my body down to my stomach making me arch my back and throw my head back as my body filled with desire.

He came to a stop reaching the waist band of my pants, I pushed my hips up off of the bed making it easier for him to undo the button and pull them off along with my panties before quickly discarding them somewhere on the floor joining the rest of our clothes. The feeling of his lips returned on my stomach as they picked up where they left off only moments ago.

His kisses continued downward until they landed on my clit. I squeezed my eyes shut and fisted my hands in the sheets while my mouth formed a perfect o, my breathing was laboured and my body was quickly building as his tongue was bringing me to a quick and brutal orgasm.

I moved my hands and threaded them in his hair as my body exploded into an earth shattering orgasm. Screaming out his name I rode out my orgasm until I it ended leaving me on a high lying like putty in his hands under him.

I felt the bed shift as he moved from in between my legs to on top of me, his hands ran up and down my thighs for a moment before he spread them further and brought them around his body.  I could feel him there pushing at my entrance; I turned my head and opened my eyes up once again seeing his eyes filled with full desire staring down at me in awe. I reached up and ran my hands along his jaw line and down his chest until they were stopped by his hands, he grabbed my hands and pulled them up next to my head with his fingers intertwined with mine.

He pushed himself into me and started to move starting off slowly while his lips found mine once again. I threw my head back breaking the kiss in an attempt to get some more much needed air, I could my body building once again as his speed increased. I could hear his small grunts join my moans echoing in the room like a melody.

I tightened around him and felt my body erupt into another orgasm just as intense as the last one. He followed me in an orgasm of his own screaming out my name and collapsed on top of me, his breath was ragged and heavy.

We laid there for a few more minutes and I could feel myself drifting off into a peaceful and much needed sleep. He raised his head from its resting place on my chest and looked at me with a self-satisfied smile on his lips before he pulled out leaving me feeling a little empty and rolled over until he was lying next to me, facing me.

His hand came up and brushed the strands of hair out of face tucking it behind my ear and placing a small innocent kiss on my lips. I let my eyes shut and gave into the darkness.

***

I laid there looking up at the ceiling with my hand over my stomach while Carter slept like a baby next to me. Either he can’t feel my pain or he’s ignoring it. I felt my stomach flip for what felt like the millionth time and cringed, please make it stop. I swear I’m never eating anything that Tory hasn’t cooked me ever again. If I have food poisoning I am going to be their worst nightmare.

With a hand covering my mouth I felt a tear fall down my check and land on my pillow, my stomach jumped again but this time it was different. I jumped out of bed and all but ran to the bathroom making it to the toilet just as I emptied everything I had eaten in the past twenty-four hours. I braced myself on the toilet seat resting my head on my arm feeling exhausted and drained even though I had slept through most of the night.

I couldn’t move even if I wanted to.

Letting my eyes flutter shut I focused on my breathing and tried to ignore the thumping of the marching band that was now going on inside of my head.

I heard the bathroom door creek and felt as Carter’s arm went around my waist slowly pulling me to my feet. He gently lifted me up and sat me on the bench top next to the sink so I didn’t fall back down. He slowly pulled my hair back away from my face and tied it into a ponytail stopping it from falling back near my mouth.

He opened up one of the cupboards and pulled out a glass filling it with water and handing it to me with the unsaid message; drink. Grabbing the glass I swallowed as much water as I could try to wash down that disgusting taste in my mouth.

“Easy.” He warned as he snatched the glass back and sat it to the side. I brought my hands up to rest on his shoulders to steady myself and also to make sure that this wasn’t actually a dream. He ran his hands up and down my arms as if to warm me but it was more of comfort.

“Feel better?” he asked leaning in and giving me a little nudge with his head.

“Hmm” I mumbled.

He moved to the side sliding his arm under my knees and the other around my back before lifting me up and carrying me bridal style back into the bedroom and placing me in the bed, pulling the covers back over me. He climbed into the bed after me cradling me against his chest. I could feel his strong heart beat thumping against his chest and his warm breath against the back of my neck. I put my hand on my stomach and thought back, it’s been about a month since he took my pills off of me and now I’m throwing up but I’m exactly sure if I could be pregnant, I didn’t really have any morning sickness with Harley so the throwing up meant nothing to me but if I was going play the food poisoning card with a bunch of werewolves who would be able to my heart beat then I had better be sure.

***

I woke up later in the morning and felt my stomach start to flip again. If I keep going at this rate there’s going to be nothing of me left. I laid there for a while and noticed the curtains closed, pillows were Carter once was and muttering coming from behind the door. I sat up leaning against the bed head and wrapped the blankets around me trying to stop myself from shivering.

The door slowly opened and Harley walked in with a frown on his face while he clutched his teddy. He walked over to the bed and climbed in burring himself in the blankets.

“How are you feeling honey?”

“Hmm.” He muttered into the blanket. Yeah me too.

I bought closer hugging him tightly and kissing the top of his head while drawing small circles on his skin. I heard Carter as he walked into the room shutting the door behind him, he was already dressed in his dark jeans and t-shirt and carrying a small plate with what looked like two pieces of toast on it. He gave me a small smile before his eyes landed on Harley and his smile slipped.

“Harley I thought I said not to come in here.” He scolded him.

“Hmm.”

Carter shook his head and went to pick Harley up but her only screamed and grabbed onto my hand with a death grip that threatened to snap my arm in two. Shit he’s getting strong.

“Just leave him.”

“But his sick, and the last thing we need is for you to get sick.”

“I’ll be fine, now leave him.”

Carter wasn’t happy but he did as he was told for once and sat down next to me. He reached over and grabbed the plate that he had put on the bedside table and brought it over offering me a piece.

“No thanks.” I don’t think I could actually stomach food right now.

“You have to eat.” He said pressing the issue.

No, no I really don’t.

“Eat?” Harley quickly said getting up from his sleeping position and making a grabbing the piece of toast and running out of the room with his teddy dragging behind him.

Trust him think only about food.

Carter turned his attention to me once again and pushed the piece of toast.

“I swear if you keep shoving that in my face, I’ll show you just where you can shove it.” I said getting feed up.

“You have to eat.”

“I’m fine, I’ll eat later.” I said finalizing the conversation and getting up from the bed ignoring my head spin and walking over to find some clothes to get dressed.

I pulled out my track pants and baseball t-shirt before quickly slipping into the bathroom and getting changed. “How are you feeling?” I heard Carter say from the other side of the door.

“Fine. Why?”

“I don’t know, maybe because you were throwing up this morning.”

I thought for a moment about asking him if I was pregnant or if it was just food poising. I opened the door and stared at him narrowing my eyes.

“What?” he said with a smirk while raising an eye brow at me.

“You know what, what’s the verdict?”

He sat down on the bed and motioned for me come and join him. Rolling my eyes and sighing deeply I walked over taking a seat on his lap and putting my arm on his shoulder to steady myself. He put his hand on my stomach and I could see the concentration on his face as he listened for another heartbeat.

“So?” I said after a while getting bored and a little stressed with the not knowing.

He faced me and smiled taking his hand away from my stomach.

“That’s not answer.”

“Where leaving today, so be ready to leave ASAP.”

“Carter!”

“Yes… Which is why you have to eat something.” He said before getting up and walking off towards the door.

Well that wasn’t that hard now was it!
