Sexting With A Vampire
Chapter 69

Stella

I'm about to join Raphael inside the SUV Evan stole, but Evan picks me up before I even can get into the car.

"Evan!" I snort in amusement and try to reach for the door. He tows me away from the ground, and I laugh even louder. "You've already hugged me goodbye! Put me down!"

My legs dangle over his knees since Evan is a giant, six-foot-five to my tiny five-foot-something. I can't fight him, and his lips are currently nibbling my neck while his arms tighten around me. "Evan..." I warn, but my resolve is already weakening. My legs curl around his tapered waist. "I'm supposed to be going with Raphael..."

Evan completely ignores me, and I try to struggle out of his grip when he sucks on my skin in a ticklish manner. Of course, I can't fight win in a fight, so I kick at his knees.

It makes him laugh against my skin. "Feisty!"

"You get kicks if you try to kidnap me!" I grumpily growl.

"Was I supposed to feel that?" He teases after I kick him again.

"No, I'm just trying to get your attention and make you put me down!"

"By using violence?" Evan shakes his head. "Typical little wolf."

"You said you didn't feel it!"

"I was lying... I'm hurting now... Hurting in my heart because my little wolf is leaving me."

Even though Evan sounds sarcastic, I can see the concern in his eyes. He actually looks sad, and I hug him tightly.

He turns tense before placing his hands on my back as if he didn't expect me to hug him for being clingy.

I whisper into his ear. "We will see you in Lunaris."

I lean back to replace his eyes still closed, long lashes touching the crest of his checks before he opens those eyes. They are red like crimson, glowing slightly, but I don't fear him. My teeth sink into my lip as I touch his cheek. "Who would have known Evan was such a softie on the inside."

He breathes a laugh. "I'm only nice to you."

"And Raphael."

He rolls his eyes, and I beam at him. I replace my mate's relationship amusing. They respect each other; that's why Raphael is patiently waiting for us to say farewell right now." "Anyway," I say. "I should be going."

Evan frown. "I don't want to let you go... I love you, Stella."

He loves me.

It doesn't matter if I've heard it before.

Evan loves me, and everything feels hot and slow.

"I love you too," I whisper and lean closer.

Evan hugs me again, and I melt into him.

My heart is panging, and the moment is intimate when I nuzzle Evan's neck, drawing in the scent of roses from his smooth skin.

"When did you know you loved me?" I ask, needing to hear it.

He smiles against my neck, whispering his answer. "When you assaulted me in the park. I walked there, and you just jumped over me and pressed your sweet, little lips to mine. You blew my mind." I giggle at the memory. "You were so mean to me back then, though."

A low laugh vibrates in his throat. "I found you irresistible and cute. I would have caved if you asked me to be yours."

"Liar..." I huff into his neck. "You would have killed me."

"I would have not."

"You would have bitten me."

He snorts. "No... I wouldn't have hurt you. Not you... Never you..."

I tighten my hold of him. "But you can bite me now. I would like that. Just to make sure you're properly fed."

There is a pause.

And then my words have Evan moving, seeking my eyes before kissing my lips. I nip his lush bottom one, tugging at it gently. He inhales, drawing me in before trailing scorching hot kisses down my neck. He even kisses my jaw, the romantic vampire.

"Tell me this is okay, little wolf," Evan presses his tongue against the sensitive area of my neck. "Tell me I'm allowed to drink from you. I don't want to hurt you..."

My heart is racing and won't calm down at all. There is just something so close-knit and sweet in letting Evan drink from me. It's me showing him that I trust and love him.

I close my eyes. "I allow you to drink from my blood, Evan."

He smiles against my skin. "Don't forget about me while you're on your date with Raphael."

"I would never."

"That's a promise."

Evan bites my neck and drinks his fill. After he is done, I'm put back on the ground. I get into the car and wave Evan goodbye. Raphael is behind the wheel and waves at him too. When the damn SUV isn't moving, I sob. "What are you waiting for, drive! I can't... It's t*****e just standing here with the car."

Raphael looks me over, all worriedly. "Stella... I've spent a month with you, and I know you would murder me if I moved this car. You would spend the entire journey mourning the loss of Evan." "Yeah, but you two wanted to date me one-on-one, so it's fine... Just go. I won't cry or anything."

Raphael chuckles. "Think about the good makeup s*x you will have with Evan when you see him again."

"What if something happens to him while he is away from me?" I counter in an upset tone. "What if someone attacks him?"

Raphael snorts. "Evan is the strongest one out of us three. He will be fine on his own. Trust me."

"But what if he won't..."

The car moves, and Raphael is still looking amused. His eyes catch mine in the rearview mirror.

"Evan will be fine. You don't see it since you care about him so much, but vampire boy is powerful," Raphael speeds up the car. "But your concern is definitely cute... Would you be this upset if I left?" "Of course, I would!" I snap at him. "The mate-bond might not be there yet, but I love you both. You're both my precious, handsome mates."

Raphael almost loses it behind the wheel. "Handsome? That's something my f*****g mother would say!"

"Shut up!" I pick up tissues and throw them at the i***t who is belting out laughter while driving.

Raphael is howling, and a flash of white runs across the road. The car bumps over it, and Raphael hits the brakes.

"s**t!" I exclaim with my eyes bulging out of my head. "What the hell was that?!"

"I don't know..."

Raphael stops the car by the side of the gravel road. There are trees and enclosed pastures and stuff out here. I see cows in the distance, and the sun is behind the clouds. It's a beautiful country road.

"You wait in the car," Raphael tells me strictly. "Let me go and check what we ran over, okay?"

"Okay."

Raphael disappears to the front, and I see him grimace. He peers up at me through the window, seemingly thoughtful.

"Stella, come out here."

Quickly, I open the car door and walk to the front of the hood where Raphael is standing.

My mouth falls open when I see we have run over a sheep. Tears form in my eyes, and I feel terrible. Blood is everywhere, and the sweet, white creature isn't moving.

I'm an animal person, and guilt is gnawing at my heart. This happened because I played with Raphael. I was too into our jokes and laughing that we didn't pay enough attention.

Though, in our defense, the sheep ran across the road...

Regardless, this is still a sad moment.

"Sweet baby..." I whisper. "You didn't deserve to die..."

Raphael places a large hand on my shoulder to gain my attention. "That isn't the worst part..."

I lift my chin, and Raphael points further ahead. It takes me a second, and then I see a baby lamb staring back at us from the grass.

"Oh-my-god!" I squeal in delight. "It's Lambi!"

Raphael jerks his head. "Say what now?"

"Lambi!" I exclaim and look up at Raphael. "His name is Lambi, and since you ran over his mother, you're the new mama sheep now."

Raphael stares at me like I've grown two heads. "What the hell are you talking about? We can't steal a lamb!"

"Yes, we can!" I walk towards Lambi. "Say hello to parenthood, Raphael, because the lamb is coming with us. We will hold a funeral for mama lamb, and then a new adventure awaits you as Lambi's new parent."
