I slept the whole drive back to the house. Kendra was driving and she made me feel uncomfortable but I was too tired to care. I just let Josh hold me and rock me as he whispered sweet nothings into my ear. When we pulled into the driveway, after dropping off the others at the pack house, my body finally really relaxed. As my thoughts began to calm, I looked Josh over. We were both covered in dry blood and dirt. He had dark circles under his eyes and his hair was longer than normal and messy. His once stumbled beard was now much longer, as if he hadn't shaved in a while.
Running his hand through his hair, he sighed and pushed open the door. Stretching out, I climbed out of his lap and winced with the sharp pain of putting pressure on my foot. Growling, he quickly jumped out of the car and picked me up, "I'll get the pack doctor over here right now."
I shook my head, "Let him help the others. Cris can fix this."
Kendra moved over to us, "I'm gonna go help at the pack house. We'll talk in the morning."
Josh nodded, "Yes."
She looked at me and smiled, "It was nice to meet you."
"You too, thank you."
"Happy to help." Pulling off her shirt, she headed for the forest to shift.
The front door flew open and Bailey came flying through the door with Cris hot on her tail. Josh gently sat me down on the hood of the car as Bailey practically tackled him to the ground.
"Bubba!" She cried and held him tighter, "Are you okay? What happened? Please..."
Cris pulled me out of my thought as he moved to me, "It's good to see you safe JoJo."
"You too." I squeezed his hand, "I missed you."
"I missed you too JoJo. You need to be safer, you can't let that happen again."
Looking at my hands in embarrassment, I nodded. "I'm sorry."
He shook his head, "Don't be, we're just all really worried about you."
Nodding, I looked down at my foot and took the opportunity to change the subject. "Could you re-break my foot?"
He looked it over and sighed, "This will hurt."
Josh moved to my side as he scooped up my hand, "Can I bring you into the house first?"
I nodded in agreement, "Sure."
He easily snatched me up as he followed Cris and Bailey into the house and toward the living room. I looked around in confusion, "Where is everyone?"
"Pack house, helping the females."
"Go help them, I'll be fine."
Josh set me down on the couch, "Stop. Let Cris help you."
Biting the inside of my cheek, I nodded. Josh sat down and placed me on his lap and buried his face into my hair as he wrapped his arms firmly around me.
Cris sat on the coffee table as he pulled my foot into his lap. Anxiety pulsed through me with the anticipation. I held tight to Josh as Cris felt along my bones and prepared to break my foot. In one quick motion, he snapped the bone.
Yelling out in pain, I hid my in my hands as I trembled. Josh whimpered as he kissed along my neck, giving me a pleasurable distraction. Cris quickly wrapped up my foot after setting it properly.
"You'll be fine."
Josh growled, "Where'd you learn all this?"
He shrugged, "I trained with Jo and Josiah for awhile and it was part of the training. JoJo has re-set a few bones for me."
"Smart."
Cris nodded and stepped back, "Bay and I will go help the others, give you the house to you two tonight.,
My cheek flushed bright red, "Make sure you help Connor and Brooke. Talk to Kass and have her reassure Brooke that Connor won't hurt her and won't be mad about anything that happened to her."
Bailey nodded, "Okay, don't worry, we got this." She held Cris' hand, "Feel better and you might wanna clean up. You two look like hell."
"Thanks."
She giggled and pulled Cris out the front door.
Josh moved me off his lap, "So..."
"Yeah?"
"Do you wanna talk?"
"No. Do you?"
His shoulders relaxed, "No. I just want to lose myself in you." He buried his head in my hair and took in a shaky breath, "I need you."
Standing, I held his hand and pulled him to his feet, "Let's shower."
His eyes widened and he nodded, "Okay."
Leading him up the stairs to his room, I relaxed as an overwhelming sence of safety washed through me. No one could get me here with Josh so close. Opening the bathroom door, I pulled off his shirt and tossed it in the hamper.
He growled behind me, "You have to warn me Josie."
Looking over my shoulder, I nodded, "Are you coming?"
He looked me over in confusion, "Are you sure?"
Biting my lip, I blushed, "Well, we both need showers so we might as well save some water."
He smirked, "Save some water?"
"Honestly, I just can't be out of arms reach of you. You're the only thing keeping me from falling apart."
He grew serious and pulled me into his arms, "Same rules as last time?"
I bit my lip nervously, "No. No rules this time."
His jaw clenched and eyes flashed black with his wolf. "Okay."
Turning, I moved to the shower and turned on the hot water. Taking deep breaths, I climbed into the boiling water and let the blood and dirt run off of me. I listened as Josh turned on his iPod and undressed. He cleared his throat, "Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Because if I get in there, there will be no turning back."
Giggling, I pulled open the glass door, "Get in here."
His eyes darkened as he looked me over in hunger. He grabbed a hand towel, not taking his eyes off me. Stepping back to give him room, he stepped into the hot water. His black hair clung to his face as the dirt and blood washed off of him. It took all my self control to not look him over completely.
He smirked, "You can look."
My bit my bottom lip and turned around in the water, "I know."
He moved closer, pressing himself against me as he kissing my shoulder softly, "Then why don't you?"
"Because I need to get clean before I lose all control."
He chuckled and the sensation of his stomach muscles rolling against my back sent list pooling into my stomach. "I can help you with that." His voice was deep and husky, filled with desire. He squeezed some of his body wash into the washcloth, he ran it over his chest and quickly scrubbed his face, chest, arms and hair. He did this until he was sparkling.
Giggling, I moved out of the way of the spray to let him rinse off. "Clean?"
He chuckled and let the soap run off him, "Yep. Enjoy the show?"
"I did actually but thought it was going to take a different direction."
He smirked as he squeezed the soap into his hands, "Our first time won't be in a shower."
Feeling bold, I moved closer to him, resting my hand on his chest, "What if I want it to be."
He shook his head as he fought back his wolf, "Be careful Jo."
Taking his hands I moved them to my waist, "Like before."
His jaw tightened and eyes went wild with desire. He ran his soapy hands up and down my back, over my hips, up my stomach, along my arms and through my hair. His touch sent me into a haze of lust that pulsed through me. His hands all over me gave me a pleasure I had never felt before, I moaned as he moved me into the water and rinsed me off. But it wasn't enough, I needed to feel his lips on me.
He seemed to read my mind as he gripped my hips, pressing me flush against him as his lips found there way to his mark in my neck. Gasping, I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled myself closer, begging for more. He happily complied as his hands moved down my body and he pulled my legs around his waist. Releasing my neck from his sucking and nibbling, he pressed his forehead to mine.
His voice was raspy with need, "Are you sure?"
Moaning in frustration, I nodded, "Yes."
Growling, he shoved open the glass door and began his assault on my neck once again as he walked us to the bed.
It didn't matter that the vampires and hybrids were still out there looking for me, wanting me dead. It didn't matter that a war was brewing and life was about to change. No, in that moment, nothing mattered but my love for Josh and his love for me. We were the only two people in the world and nothing could pull me out of the trance we were locked in. I let myself go, completely giving everything over to Josh.
Reality can wait for tomorrow.
