DESIRED (BWWM)

The Issue Of Age Part Two

Renee's pov

I look at myself in the mirror after Elijah leaves, feeling my heart beating in my chest. The way he looked at me just now, let's just say that if my underwear had been on it would be ruined.

I touch my cheek and shake my head trying to get rid of the butterflies in my stomach.
"Get your shit together Renée," I mutter to myself before putting on Elijah's black t-shirt which stops to about mid thigh and hangs loosely.

I sigh before pulling up the red boxer shorts and sigh again when they fall back down.

"Great," I say sarcastically, deciding to ditch it all together. I walk out the bathroom with the red shorts in my hands to meet a very sexy, very shirtless Elijah.

He's laying on the bed with both his hands behind his head as he stares up at the ceiling.

"Hey," I say just loud enough to gain his attention and hold my breath when he turns his head in my direction. I watch as his eyes travel up and down my body setting fire in its wake.

He bites his lips as his eyes linger on my exposed thighs. "Cazzo," he mutters running his eyes up and down my body for the second time.

"The pants couldn't fit," I say in an attempt to break the undeniable sexual tension.

"Okay," he says snapping his head up to meet my eyes and I watch in amazement as a light pink stains his cheeks.

"Are you blushing?" I ask smiling and he clears his throat before answering.

"No.....yes..... well you kind of caught me of guard Mia Vita," he replies sitting up and running his hands through his hair.

I smile to myself loving that I can make him as flustered as he always makes me. I place the shorts on the small dresser and walk over to him.

"Why can't you just admit you were blushing?" I question, dropping  myself down on the bed and he instantly pulls me up to him.
"Because I wasn't fücking blushing," he answers turning my body so that my back is laying on his chest and his arms are around my stomach.

"Well you make me blush all the time," I say inhaling his scent and sighing when he tightens his hold on me. "Lijah?" I ask yawning sleepily and basking in his comfortable warmth.

"Baby?" He replies laying his chin on my head.

"You said that you won't do anything I don't want you to right?"
"Si baby," he replies and I feel my insides doing somersaults at his continuous use of endearments.

"What if...... what if I wanted you to do something?" I ask holding my breath as I wait for his reply.

"What do you mean Mia Vita?" He asks in a husky voice and I turn my body so that I'm facing him. He takes my legs laying it on either side of him so that I'm straddling him.

"What if I.... what if I wanted to forget that I'm seventeen?" I say to him my heart running a marathon in my chest.

What the hell I'm I doing?

Elijah stares at my hair avoiding my eyes before finally speaking.
"Renée I've killed people in cold blood, without so much as blinking my eyes. I've done horrible things baby, unspeakable things and that's not even the worst part. And here I am in bed with the daughter of my wife,"

He stops speaking and looks at me, finally meeting my eyes. "When I ask you to wait it isn't because of you," he says kissing my forehead.

"I ask you to wait because of me. I've done insidious things Renée, at least let me do something right for a change"

I bite my lip, staring into his now familiar blue eyes.
"My birthday is February the sixth," I say with a smile on my face.

I've.
Lost.
  My.
   Mind.

"I know," he replies with a smirk on his, the tense atmosphere now disappearing.

"How do you know that?" I ask adjusting myself so my back is once again resting on his chest.

"I have my ways," he says kissing my neck and I tilt my head to the opposite side giving him more room.

"Come on baby lets sleep," Elijah says closing his eyes and I follow his lead, resting my head on his tattooed chest.

"I feel alive when I'm with you. I don't feel like I'm broken," I whisper closing my eyes and sighing contentedly when he pulls me closer.

"I'm right here Mia Vita. I'm not going anywhere," is the last words I hear before I drift off to sleep.
