Chapter XXIII - Shower Heads, I Love You
"Is this your house?"
"It belongs to all of us, though Caspian makes most of the decision regarding the house, the rest of us couldn't care less."
Once Constantine regained control of himself, he drove me to this mansion not too far out of town, but very well hidden by mature trees and the long winding driveway.
Even now I'm not sure how much control he has over himself. Once in a while I catch him clenching his jaw or balling his fists around the steering wheel till his knuckle turn white.
He opens the massive door to the sight of an impressive grand foyer. The foyer has a high ceiling with a dome skylight. It opens up to a grand staircase. The gleaming marble floor reflects the light from the skylight as well as the huge crystal chandelier that hangs in the middle of the room. Everything is in cream, accented with black and gold. Either side of the staircase opens up to other areas of the house. This is even more impressive than the pack house.
"Caspian likes everything lavish," remarks Constantine as he leads me up the staircase.
We walk pass several doors on the second floor until we reach the end of the hallway. He opens the last door to our left and wait for me to get in.
"This is my room," he informs me as we step in. His room is easily four size bigger than my bedroom. The walls are grey. Everything else is in black and white with a little splashes of red here and there. There's a massive king size bed in the middle of the far wall with a huge red, black and white abstract painting behind it. A sitting area, with a sofa, chairs and an ottoman is at the front, facing a big screen TV.
"You can have a shower in here. There are fresh towels in the bathroom," he says as he pushes his en-suite bathroom door open. He hands me some clothing items.
"You want me to take a shower?" I ask, incredulous.
He leans back against the wall with his head back and his eyes closed, looking tortured. "Every time I smell him on you, I feel like my control is slipping away. I'm trying very hard not to go to him now and rip his heart right out of his chest," he growls.
Okay...we don't want that now, do we? So I quickly grab the garments and step into the bathroom, locking the door behind me.
His bathroom is impressive too. There's a deep clawfoot tub right in the middle of the huge bathroom, but it's the shower that draws my attention.
The glass enclosed shower has a granite bench and nine shower heads including the biggest rain shower at the top. Aahhh yes...if I had a shower like this, I'd never leave my bathroom. I use his shampoo and soap too. I think I smell like Constantine now.
After drying off with a thick fluffy towel, I put my underwear back on. There's no way I'm going to walk around without any underwear on. His white shirt comes down just a few inches above my knees. His boxer shorts disappear underneath his shirt. It makes it look like I wasn't wearing any pants.
When I open the door, he's sitting on the sofa with his Macbook on. "Are you finally done?" he asks with a lift of his eyebrow. He's looking much more relaxed now. A little amused smile tilts the corners of his lips.
I just poke my tongue out. I did stay quite a long time in there. I stayed until my skin turns pruney. I blame it all on the shower heads.
"I think I'm in love with your shower heads," I announce.
"Are you now?" he drawls lazily as he gets to his feet. "Didn't think I would have to compete with shower heads."
His eyes zone in on my bare legs as soon as I step out of the bathroom. His eyes smolder and his face grows serious.
"You look so sexy in my shirt." he says as he steps in closer. "Now you smell like you're supposed to...like you...and my shampoo and soap."
"What do I smell like?"
His hands grip my waist, as he playfully, but roughly pulls me closer, making me gasp. My heart is hammering in my chest. His thick dark eyelashes sweep down over his cheeks as he closes his eyes and his nostrils flare when he takes a deep breath close to my neck. It sends shivers up and down my spine.
"Delicious," he murmurs. His warm breath fanning my neck. "Now tell me again that you're mine."
"I'm yours."
He opens his eyes and I'm mesmerized. His beautiful grey eyes are so piercing... and hungry.
"Goddess, you are beautiful," he whispers huskily. "And all mine," his voice sounds so possessive. His intense grey eyes studying my features, then his sooty black eyelashes sweep down as they focus on my lips.
His breathing quickens, so does mine. He leans down slowly as if waiting for my reaction. My lips part, my eyes flutter shut and suddenly his lips are on mine. Soft and warm at first, but electricity and fireworks explode through me and he deepens the kiss. His arms circle my waist, pulling me flush against him. My arms go around his neck. My fingers tangle in his silky hair. My heart feels like it's about to explode it my chest.
We both pull back for air at the same time, staring at each other. Breathing hard.
I pull myself up on a tiptoe and he eagerly leans down for more kiss. Our lips touch and move together. His lips grow more urgent and his tongue find entrance into my mouth. Our tongues tangle and slide together. Teasing, tasting each other. Oh goddess, I'm drunk on his taste.
"Mine..." he mouths against my skin as he moves his mouth across my jaw and down my neck hungrily, kissing nipping and licking. Constantine... I bite my lip, but a moan escapes. He slams his lips back on mine. He presses my body tighter against his and I roll my hips, making him moan against my mouth. Then he rips his mouth off of me. His breathing ragged. I can hear the rapid beating of his heart along with my own.
My lips are red and swollen, and my heart is still beating fast. I know my hair is all over the place.
Hunger is still evident in his silver grey eyes as he stares at me. "Oh goddess..." he groans as he closes his eyes and runs his fingers through his very tousled hair.
"Unless you want to get marked and mated right here and now, we'd better get out of the here," he says gruffly. "Are you hungry? Let's go get you some food," he sounds desperate to get out.
He walks in front of me and lead me downstairs and into a massive modern kitchen. All granite, built in appliances, and white cabinets.
There's a woman, about two or three years older than I am perhaps, wiping the kitchen counter. Human, by the smell of her.
Her eyes light up when she sees Constantine. I recognize a massive crush when I see one.
"Mr Constantine. I didn't know you're home this early," she says breathlessly. She pushes her chest up and smiles flirtatiously up to him. I can hear her heartbeats speed up.
Her smile falters as soon as she notices me. Constantine pulls me closer and wraps his arm around my waist. "Yeah, we skip school. Found something better to do today," he remarks carelessly, not taking his eyes off me. "Genesis, this is our cook, Lora. Lora, this is my girl Genesis."
"Hi," I flash her a friendly smile as I wrap my arms around Constantine. That's right, I'm marking my territory. She glares at me.
"I'm hungry, let's get something to eat," he murmurs into my ear with a wicked smile that says he knows what I'm doing.
"I'd like my dessert first," he mumbles against my skin before he kisses and licks and nips me along my jawline and down my neck. Oh goddess, what his sexy mouth can do to me. My brain stops working.
"Costa.." I sigh as I run my fingers through his silky hair.
Lora clears her throat loudly. "Would you like me to prepare you something for lunch?"
"No...we'll make a sandwich or something," says Constantine against my neck. "You can go, we'll order pizza for tonight."
I don't think she's very happy. I can hear her stomps her feet and bangs the door shut on her way out.
"Do you know that she has a crush on you?"
"Yeah, I don't want her to get anymore ideas. I don't want to deal with unwanted attention..." his lips begin teasing me behind my ear.
Oh fuzzy bunnies...cuddly slippers...or whatever. That feels so good. I clamp my mouth to stop myself from moaning. His mouth is magic.
"You smell so good," he murmurs huskily, nuzzling my neck.
Oh my...I try to think straight. "If you don't want any trouble like that, why'd you hire a young woman?"
"Caspian did," is his only answer as he runs his hand around my hip and pushes me against the kitchen counter. He grinds his body into mine. Delicious chills run up and down my spine. "Costa..." I moan breathlessly. He groans deep in his throat as his other hand goes into my hair. He tilts my head at an angle to his liking and slams his lips onto mine hungrily. I loose all thoughts as I grab his hair and pull while my other hand moves over his solid wide shoulder and back. His lips are hot and demanding. His hand moves down to stroke my bare thigh.
"We should stop.." he mumbles against my lips before he covers them with his again. "Umm..yeah," I agree as I draw deeper into his kiss. "Now," he says again before his tongue delves inside my mouth. Our bodies strain to get closer. Our tongues tangle together. "Mmm..hmm.." I agree as he sucks my bottom lip.
Constantine tears his mouth away from mine with a deep groan. His breathing uneven.
He places both hands on the counter on either side of me and he closes his eyes for a second. Then he opens them again and without turning, he calmly says, "Hello guys."
I try to regain my heartbeat before I slowly peek around him to see three other lycans standing by the entrance of the kitchen with various levels of amusement on their faces.
*****************************************************
Hmm...well, okay. I hope you like this chapter. Anyway, now I have a problem deciding how far should I go into this mature situation. I don't want to offend anybody. I don't really know how young my readers are either. This is the first time I'm doing this. So next time should I stop here? Should I do less? Should I go further? Should I go all the way but in a different book for mature content? Should I do away with mature content all together, because they're overrated anyways right? ;D Hahahaa...
Do leave me comments pls.
Thank you so much for your votes and comments. You guys are awesome!
