CHAPTER 33: IN THE CAVE II

Was that a trick statement meant to make me swoon and drop down my pants or was he really telling the truth?

He brought me to the secret lair of he and his brothers?

Well, if he was telling the truth, then I wouldn’t be happy if I was either Noah or Daniel. Adam had just brought in an intruder who might not be worth the attention and trust in their eyes.

"I would have said you should keep it a secret, but you are leaving the pack soon so I don’t think it is necessary. But still, keep it a secret. Don’t tell Naomi even." He said, stepping back a bit and dropping on one of the comfy sofas.

"Sure I will keep your secret. Although I don’t know whether it is because saying it out would spoil your getaways with other girls whom you might have said the same thing to, or if it is because..." I was still talking, asking myself when I had gotten this brazen but unable to stop myself when all of a sudden Adam’s lips were on mine.

That’s a record time. I thought, before blinking my eyes close and kissing him as softly as he was doing.

It was like he was worshipping my lips. But how fast could he move? It wasn’t his birthday yet.

One second I was talking and airing the views off my mind, and the next second or less than that, he was right up here with me. I wish I was that fast. I would have left the pack a long time ago.

"You still think I am lying??" He asked me, the blue of his eyes getting a shade deeper with lust and some other feeling I really don’t want to guess. It was best to not assume.

"I don’t know. Was the kiss supposed to be some kind of proof? You have kissed tons of girls if that’s it." I said, shrugging my shoulders, stepping away from him a bit. His closeness was idling my brain like a drug.

"But not like that." He muttered, his voice so low that if I hadn’t been so attuned to him, I wouldn’t have heard him. But I had, and it wasn’t helping my cause. Who says he was allowed to go around making such statements around me. Did he really want to be in my pants that badly?

"As much as I want to lick you up now, I wouldn’t do anything you don’t want. So calm your horses down. I just brought you here to apologize and spend time with you and get to know you. Believe whatever you want, but come let’s eat. Again, I’m sorry for being your bully." He said, before turning around and walking toward the table which was filled with plates and trays. For a full minute, I was stuck there on the same point, stupefied.

Did Adam just apologize? Did he just say that he was sorry? Oh my god, this outing was getting messier by the second.

Messier because if he continued on this track, I might be an emotional mess. No, scratch that. I would be an emotional mess.

My body was already humming with a thousand nerves begging for the touch of his hands.

He wants to lick me up?

Jesus Christ. My mind was fast going on an overdrive. My face was terribly hot. It was good that he had turned away after he was done talking.

"Coming or not?" He asked, calling my attention to the matter at hand again. He was standing by one of the chairs that surrounded the rectangular wooden table.

I nodded, fanning my face with my hand before strolling to the table, my movements a bit wobbly, especially as I got closer to him.

He firmly pulled out a chair for me from underneath the table, and I inhaled again at our closeness before sitting down.

"Thank you." I managed to say, before my eyes settled on the dish which he had uncovered. No way this food had come from the cafeteria. It was much better, well it looks that way.

"When did you do all this?" I asked Adam who was still standing staring at me.

"My personal server did this. You can call him a butler though. He knows about the place too. He helped me set up all this. I hope it is to your taste." He answered, before walking up to his own seat and settling down.

"Why?" I asked, blurting out the question that had been on my head since he brought me here. Why was he doing this?

"Like I mentioned before, to apologize for how I treated you all these years and to get to know more about you." He answered, taking up his fork from the cutlery set.

"Yeah, I heard that the first time. But why would you go to this extent? Why do it? The party has already been organized right? Why are you interested in knowing me when I am leaving the pack soon? Why?" There was a lot of whys. I know. But I am just trying to lay emphasis here. Probably because they were much in my head.

"Because I am interested in knowing you, Maya. Isn’t that enough reason? I just..I don’t know..I just feel like it..." He mentioned, dropping his fork on the table.

He was looking flustered now.

Okay this is the first time I am hearing Adam stutter. Woah. This is...surprising.

"I know you are surprised at this, trust me, I am surprised too..but I’m just trying to flow with the current and see where it goes." He added, biting his lips as if in deep thought.

Flow with the current? Whatever that means.

But I just nodded and picked up a fork, and swung into the pasta that looked so appetizing that I couldn’t let it go.

"So, tell me." Adam started, just when I had thrown the pasta into my mouth.

He wouldn’t even let me relish the taste of the food? The meal was so good but the boy was damn impatient.

"Tell me more about you, Maya."

Well, here we go.

Knowing ourselves 101.
