Chapter 22: Dancing with the wolf, by the pool!

"Mr Verrono! Gosh, you scared me!"

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you."

Then he noticed something on her face. He lightly touched her cheek and gently brushed a tear from her sudden stiff self.

His hand was so warm, and Kavyaa couldn't help but feel somewhat relaxed when he gently touched her cheek.

"Were you crying beautiful?" he asked removing his hand from her cheek and concentrating on her somewhat worried features.

Kavyaa almost blinked a little speechless. Did he just call her beautiful?

Stop it, don't jump to conclusions he's just bring polite plus he's got a girlfriend three times more hotter than you.

"Oh? Ummm...No, I wasn't. Something must have pricked my eye." She lied with a short nervous laugh.

{R} You can't hide tears from this wolf.

"Well since you're here, would the lovely Mia care for a dance?"

"Oh? Umm, I'm not much of dancer."

"Oh c'mon, It's just a little dance? Or do I scare you?"

"No you don't Mr Verrono." Her heart skipped a beat as she tried to play her troubled features cool.

Roman, wagged his inner tail, enjoy all the little lies she spoke. There was no denying that he made her truly nervous.

"You sure your  girlfriend won't mind?"

Ethan walked around her in a small circle, discreetly checking her out and gave her a short devlish smile.

"Well, she's not here to catch us?"

Ethan smoothly reminded making her chuckle.

"True."

There was a small part of her, who wished to escape from him. Yet another part of her that wished her to dance.

She couldn't explain it. But the charming Ethan Verrono was like gravity to her.

He was a strong pull, that she wasn't able to take her eyes away from.

"Besides, this is a slow dance, all you have to do is move side to side." He offered his hand.

Kavyaa smiled taking it and suddenly she was pulled in a quick dip.

"Woah!"

She held on to his arm, as she stared into his deep dark blue stormy eyes, quite speechless and nervous as heat easily rose to her cheeks.

"Ofcourse, there will be these moments." He casually said.

"Th..There will?" She slightly stuttured as he slowly pulled her back up in the straight position.

He slowly started to sway with her, making her heart gradually skip stones.

Kavyaa tried not to blush before him as he held her by the waist. She looked down to where she was stepping, making sure not to stumble on her feet.

Ethan swayed her in his arms making her giggle out as he slowly picked up the pace. Kavyaa did her best to hold on to his shoulders and keep up with him.

"See, you're a natural." He complimented making her blush.

"Oh, please, you're just a good lead." She admitted making him laugh.

"So, Jaxson told me you wished to see me?"

His voice was so smooth yet dark, that she couldn't help but get butterflies.

"Oh, yes umm actually there's this school trip on Monday..."

Kavyaa casually explained trying to keep all her troubled nerves trapped, especially when he watched her whilst he twirled her in his arm

Ethan, held her small hand and another hand to the small of her back and listened to her taking in her pleasant scent.

All whilst he felt the pleasant vibes from her.

He didn't seem to care about this silly school trip or her obnoxious teacher. All he truly cared about was her real truth.

Was she a monster?

How could she be with those gentle warm eyes.

But how could he be honest when he was hiding his terrible canine secret from her?

Could she possibly be a witch?

But then again, witches had a distinct reek of pigs and they usually had grey whitish and purplish hair and ruby coloured eyes.

However witches had been long wiped out thanks to the smoker clan over two millenniums ago.

Ethan gazed down at her and admired her beautiful hazel brown eyes, and her natural pink lips she slightly licked.

{R} Bite her.

Worst of all, his horny inner beast simply wished to ravish her out here near the pool.

Of course Ethan wished to taste her, feel her and kiss her in places she'd never even dreamed of.

{E} Calm yourself Roman! We mustn't get attached to her, she's just lamb that will soon be gone once Mark comes for her.

But Roman his inner beast, was more than smitten by the girl beautiful face and charm. He felt something deeper with her. A connection that he didn't quite have with his past lovers and definitely not with his current one.

She was the one that gave her his new powers when she healed him out in the woods.

She had returned back his strength that the a$$hole in Storm Mountain had damaged him with, and he wasn't going to let her go, without giving her his thanks.

Ethan dipped Mia by the pools edge making her gasp in fright. She slowly turned her head to the side and felt his hot breath hover her neck. She felt his lips mere inches away from her skin, that instantly gave her Goosebumps.

"Umm...Mm..Mr VvVerono? Ss..Sur..I mean Sir?" Her heart spiked seeing the water from the side.

"Yes, sweetheart?" He asked still holding her in the dipped position, as she tightly held on to his shoulder and arm.

Roman withheld his possessive growl over her as he took in her lovely scent by her neck discreetly.

{R} What's got her so scared?

"Umm could we like not dance so close to the pool?"

He brought her back up slowly sensing her panicked heart beats. He pulled her gently towards the side and saw her sigh out of relief.

"Does the pool trouble you?"

"Umm.. Yes. I umm...I can't swim." She admitted.

"Oh?"

Roman wagged his tail in delight.

{R} Throw her in the pool!

{E} What?!

{R} C'mon you know you want to. Besides, hasn't she broken a few rules?

{E} True, she's broken quite a few with bringing that boy over to her house whom I wish to kill, but I won't.

{R} What about Cloud? We heard she knocked him out, now how do you think a delicate flower like her could knock out a strong werewolf boy?

{E} All will be revealed soon once I see Cloud myself, but for now...

"Mia, did you purchase a phone recently?"

Roman almost made Ethan drop his hand from her lower back dangerously low, almost tempted to squeeze her butt cheek.

{R} Carefull Ethan, your hand is slipping.

{E} Roman!

Ethan quickly got control of his inner wolf's intention

Her eyes widened as Ethan quickly brought his hand back up before Roman managed to cheekily squeeze her butt.

"Um, how did you..."

"I receive your card bills remember? I also found out that you purchased alot of plants?" He asked in a curious manner making Mia completely stop dancing with him and take a step back.

"Oh, umm yeah! Sorry I know I shouldn't have but if you want me to return them I will. I just had to get a phone because I've made new friends in school and they thought it was weird that I didn't have a phone, since every kid in that prestigious school does and well I don't do email or social media and I thought getting a phone would be the best way to communicate, but if you don't want me to have it. I'll return it! And I'm sorry about the plants too, I had to get them too, I know I bought alot but I have my reasons and I can't explain them now but they're for good reasons!..."

{R} So you love plants?

{E} And mud baths.

{R} Purr.

"Slow down, you don't have to return anything, I was just surprised that you didn't inform me, that's all."

Mia sighed out of relief thinking he was going to be upset with her purchases. But her guardian didn't seem angered at all. She knew who'd be if he was here.

"Hey, you're not going to tell Mark that I got a phone right?"

Ethan easily figured out why Mark didn't want her having one. Kane was no doubt hunting for and it wasn't wise for her to have it.

But then again.

"May I have your phone?"

Kavyaa reached into her small purse on the side of the table and handed it over to him, wondering what he was going to do.

"Look, I'm sorry I purchased it without your permission, I just really needed it."

He quickly dialled his number and got her number and handed it over to her.

"That's ok, and you're right. It's important to have a phone. You can call me anytime you feel the need to."

"Really?"

"Ofcourse Mia, afterall, I'm not just your guardian in this town. I'm your friend too, and I'd appreciate if you call me Ethan."

"Well then, mind signing my authorisation form Ethan?"

{R} Can't wait till she says my name.

{E} Hey your name is Silver remember?

He ignored his inner beast growling annoyingly in his head.

Ethan smiled and pulled out his pen. He swiftly signed her trip form and gave it back to her. Kavyaa put it back into her bag and to show him her thanks, she opened up her arms surprising him and embraced him.

{R} A hug?

Ethan gladly returned her hug and wrapped his arms around her.

"Thankyou for understanding and signing the form, Ethan."

He loved how she said his name.

Kavyaa and Ethan remained in a nice long warm embrace. Kavyaa simply enjoyed the warmth he gave her.

She felt so relaxed and safe in his arms but soon realised that she was hugging him for way too long.

You stupid butthole! Stop having a crush on him, he's got a girlfriend!

"Erm?"

"Sorry, you just smell quite delightful tonight."

"Oh? Thanks, I heard Mr Salviño say that earlier."

{R} How dare he scent her!

{E} Relax Roman, he must have been curious due to her scent.

{R} How can I relax?! Do you know how many damn horny not to mention un mated wolves had their sleezy eyes upon her tonight? Besides! How can I possibly relax, when all I can think about is marking her?!

{E} We can't mark her Roman! She's not even a she-wolf!

{R} I don't care if she is a fly flamingo or a damn hot unicorn!

{E} That's it, no more animal planet for you, you crazy wolf!

{R} The point I'm trying to make Ethan is that will you be ok when other hot blooded wolves set their eyes upon her?

"No." He whispered out taking hold of her face in his hands.

Kavyaa shot him a confused look at what he just said, and why was he looking so suddenly troubled at her?

{R} Then do it Ethan. Claim her. Bite her.

"No." He whispered licking his bottom lip and darting his dark eyes upon her cleavage.

"Umm...No sir?" She repeated making him immediately block out his inner wolf's tempting thoughts.

"I mean, No! Did he say that?!" He quickly asked making her chuckle out.

"Yeah? Why shouldn't he not have said that?"

"No, he shouldn't have said that you Mia."

He looked down at her making her suddenly grow nervous with him. Damn, this man was doing things to her brain and heart that shouldn't happen. His hand still lingered on to her lower back instead slowly shooting shiver down her spine.

"Why not?" She asked with her nervous heart beats.

"Do you really want to know?" He whispered quite close to her ear and that he almost felt like nipping at it.

Footsteps then approached them and Ethan didn't even have to turn around to know who it was.

But Kavyaa noticed and she quickly pushed Ethan away seeing his girlfriend wearing quite a cold poker face towards her.

S: What the hell is going on?!

E: Babe, just calm down, we were just dancing.

"Ethan there you are."

{R} Go away gold digger, I'm busy!

Roman groaned annoyingly in Ethan's head.

"Hey Sasha."

"You must come right away, Klaus needs to see you."

"Can't it wait, I'm having a meeting?"

"I can wait, if you like?"

Sasha than darkly approached Kavyaa and then rested a hand upon her shoulder.

"That won't be necessary, you little pest."

With one hard push at her shoulder, Kavyaa too in a sharp gasp as her body fell backwards, and into the pool.
