New Discovery

The temperature in the room continued to increase as they continued.

Moving to her chest he continued to taste her skin as he lifted her further up the bed causing her towel to slide from her onto the bed.

Chills on her skin made her shiver under his touch. Moving from one side to the other pulling each bud into his mouth she began to arch her back beneath him.

Going lower still, he began to kiss her stomach and sides. Her breath hitched in anticipation of what was to come.

Making his way lower he placed his hands on each inner thigh as his mouth found her center. Her breath becoming uneven as she discovered this new sensation.

Nate inserted a single finger as he focused on her button. Her juices flowing over his hand as he found the appropriate rhythm for her.

As he continued he could feel her tighten around his finger as she rose to the top of her climax. Her back arching as her legs widened in release.

Staying in place until she had come back down, he used his mouth to clean up her juices before moving to his position beside her on the bed holding her close to him.

Her heart pounding in her chest as she pulsated uncontrollably on her way back to calm.

Leaning down he kissed her forehead, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah", she replied breathlessly.

Patting her on her back, he held her gently allowing her to relax.

'This is who I love', he thought to himself.

Nate did not ask for more from her and allowed her to rest beside him for as long as she deemed fit. When she was ready, he assisted her in sitting up and watched as she moved to the bathroom.

Once she was in the bathroom, Nate took out his phone and texted Axel advising that he had no clothes to wear and had already taken a shower.

The laughing emojis that Axel sent seemed to be endless. Apparently this situation is hilarious to him.

Nate shook his head as he replied back, "Come on man. Help me out."

"Alright. Don't panic. Give me a few. I will let you know when the bag is outside the door.", Axel replied.

Ten minutes went by before the text came to his phone showing a bag outside the door. Making sure the towel was secure around his waist, Nate opened the door hoping to not be seen. However to his discomfort, there stood the guys all waiting with their phones taking photos of the scene. Nate felt horrified, grabbing the bag as quickly as he could and closing the door.

Turning around quickly clutching the bag to his chest he was met with Charlotte standing their in her pajamas with a confused look on her face.

Quickly recovering he simply stated, "I needed clothes." He then quickly made his way to the bathroom and changed into sweatpants and a t-shirt.

Coming out of the bathroom to his phone going off to many messages, he picked it up only to find that every message from the guys consisted of a photo of him in the towel gathering the bag of clothes.

Looking up at the ceiling and realizing that they would forever hold these photos over his head just to tease him with them, became a reality.

Shaking his head to get that image out of his head, he then made his way to the chair by the bed and sat down.

Placing the gun that had been given to him on the night stand and the extra ammo in the drawer.

Charlotte stood up from her seat on the bed and took his hand pulling him back to the bed, "Let's go to sleep."

Crawling into bed and patting the spot beside herself, Nate crawled in and lay down.

Reaching over she turned out the light and made her way back to his side.

Putting his arm under her head, he allowed her to find comfort in his embrace. He did not have to say anything for her to feel how much he cared for her.

The relationship between the two had evolved. It had went from friends, to enemies, to friends, to lovers. She appreciated that he did not attempt to own her nor attach himself to her without her permission.

The comfortable connection and exchange of feelings felt natural.....not forced....nor expected.

The feeling of someone expecting things from you to center themselves and reassure their own insecurities slowly creates discomfort in a way that feels off.

Charlotte slowly drifted to sleep as Nate lay awake listening to the noises of the house. Eventually he fell asleep as well while holding her in his arms.

Down stairs Bull was in a video call with Jeh going over each moment as it had transpired the day of the attack. Though upset, Jeh felt satisfied with the reaction of the team including the newest member.

Bull advised how Nate and Charlotte had known each other before he began his training including the fallout from movie night. Explaining the boys background and what example he had from his Mother as to how to act made it clear that his decision may have been a result of his upbringing. Bull advised of the downfall of Nate, what had been done to him by the team prior to bringing him onboard, including the depression.

He then advised of the speeding car in the rain and how Nate reacted without a second thought to protect Charlotte. Giving all the details of that day as well as all the days that followed so that Jeh could gather a full picture of the boy.

"I trust your judgement, Bull. If you say he is a good kid, then I support the decision. So he is a fast learner? How did he do with target practice?", Jeh asked.

"Perfect score not adding in the sniper rifle. I had not trained him on that yet.", Bull said like a proud father.

Jeh smiled at the pride showing in Bull's demeanor. He knew that Bull did not allow everyone to get close to him, therefore this kid must be special. "Alright then, well done! I look forward to meeting him.", Jeh announced.

"Yes, Sir.", Bull said clearly with a smile.

"What are your thoughts of me returning to the mansion myself to check on things?", Jeh inquired.

Bull had already expected this question and answered without hesitation, "At this time protecting her is our priority. I am not 100% sure what is known at this time and feel that if you come it will be a larger target to protect being that it will be two people as opposed to one."

Jeh nodded his head as he considered this. "Okay, then I will have a video call with my baby girl tomorrow and will wait for the threat to be contained before coming back."

"Thank you, Sir.", Bull said in relief.

Turning his attention to a different matter, Jeh asked about Evan and how the relationship had been between Charlotte and Evan.

Bull's face became darker at once as he began to speak, "He is possessive of our little girl. Very jealous, making it difficult for her to not have to worry about his feelings more than her own."

Jeh could see the change in Bull and knew how serious his feelings were by his reaction. Nodding in agreement Jeh awaited Bull telling more to the story.

"She talked to me about the relationship. It came to light that once she did not give her affection freely to him, he became disconnected and hardly spent any time with her at all, keeping away from the apartment for all hours. During that time is when She and Nate began being friends again. This is also the time that Nate saved her from the speeding car.", he continued. "I believe that if this had not happened when it did, she had intentions of breaking things off with the Young Mr. Morningstar."

"Doesn't seem like he deserves our little girl.", Jeh said in a dark tone.

"No.......No he doesn't.", Bull said matching the same tone.

"I received notification from Old Mr. Morningstar that the attack had been planned by a member of his clan. There had been an altercation at a meeting and said person had been out of line and taken outside as well as demoted upon the order of Young Mr. Morningstar. Young Mr. Morningstar became that person's target and the order for his girlfriend to be executed had been arranged.", Bull said clearly.

"I see.", Jeh said as he knitted his brows in thought. "Let's keep up what we have going right now. Her safest place is with you guys right now. I know you will keep her safe."

"Yes, Sir.", Bull said confidently.

"Alright, get some rest and tell all the guys I appreciate them and will spoil all of you once everything is behind us with this matter.", Jeh concluded with a smile.

Bull nodded in agreement and the video call ended.

'Time for sleep. Tomorrow the hunt begins.', Bull thought to himself as he headed to his room leaving guards on duty in his absence.
