She grabbed the bottle and took a big swing directly from it, sitting down on a chair.
Jasper looked at her curiously. "But whatever happened sweetie ? Is something wrong ? I saw Connor drive you home".
"Do you know that thing when you notice something, and then kind of can't see anything else, but keep focusing on that thing ?" She asked him.
He grinned and sent her a questioning look. "Well yeah that might have happened
"Hey sweetest girl, what is wrong ?" Jasper had just found her rolled up on the couch crying her eyes out and he looked very worried.A small sob escaped her and she handed him the tabloid before cradling herself again. She didn’t want to talk about it, but she knew she couldn't pretend it was nothing.Jasper read the short article and looked at the pictures, then he looked at her with compassion. "Oh sweetie I am so sorry. But before we cry those pretty eyes out, are we sure there really is something there ?""It says so and you can see the pictures". She sobbed again. She just felt really stupid
She just wanted to run away when Jasper rang Connor’s doorbell, but he had a tight grip on her arm, like he had read her mind."Hi Ami, hi Jasper, come on in. You are the first ones here". Connor opened the door smiling at them."Hi Connor, and thanks for having us". Jasper said, giving him a hug before walking inside.Ami didn't know what to do with herself. She couldn't make herself look at him, afraid she would break down. Even if they were not together she had kept thinking of him as her Connor, and now she felt he wasn’t anymore.
"Connor are you out back ?" A woman's voice sounded behind them and Connor’s lips left hers for the first time in 10 minutes.He turned to watch the woman walking towards them. "Hi sis, well you are looking at me aren't you ?""Now don't be such a brat kiddo, be a gentleman and introduce us. And you must be Ami, please be Ami". His sister looked at her.Ami couldn't help smiling, his sister looked a lot like a female version of him. They had the same hair colour, same eyes and same smile and she kind of sounded like him too. "Hi, and yes I am Ami".
"Are the two of you coming up for some food or is eating each other's faces enough". Jasper said, throwing a beach ball at them.“So the wrong analogy to use about a..”. Joel mumbled, making Ally slap his shoulder, shushing him. Ami ignored them but stuck out her tongue at Jasper. She swimmed for the ladder anyway. Everyone else had gotten out of the water 20 minutes ago. Someone had finished up the food and set the table.Connor grabbed her when she tried to get up the ladder, turning her in his arm and kissing her again. She could feel the cold metal of the ladder against her back.
"I kind of expected you to stay for the night". Jasper looked at her, they were driving back to her apartment.She turned onto the freeway. "I can't say I didn't really want to, but I think it is better to wait just a little. Last time everything went too fast, I do not want to repeat that mistake"."You might be right sweetie, but I am so happy for the two of you. You are so perfect together, like two half of a whole". He smiled at her.She sighed, for the first time in more than 6 months she actually felt whole, but she had a tiny flock of jittery butterflies in her stomach. "I just hope we are both i
"I think I want to see if Linda is on skype, I haven't talked to her face to face since I got here". She said, pulling out her phone.They had just finished eating their lunch after a busy morning of recordings.Connor looked over at her. "Why not ? You haven't fallen out or something have you ?""No not at all, and I have texted her. To be honest, you are the reason. I knew how she would react to you being here. She has kind of been pressuring me to contact you and I just couldn't handle having to discuss it…It was easier to keep you secret on text". She looked at him apologetically.
"Are you busy ? Or do you wanna come up for a bit ?" Ami looked at Connor, suddenly feeling a bit shy as he pulled up in front of her building.They had not movedon to sex yet, and that part scared her a bit. It had been rather amazing, but it had also pushed her boundaries a lot, probably beyond what she felt comfortable with.He looked at her for a moment, like he wanted to make sure she really meant it. "No plans, so yeah why not".He parked the car and came to open her door, lacing his fingers with her as they walked inside.Ami didn'
She looked at him, breathing in slowly a couple of times. “Connor, I love you…Wolf or not”.“Really ?” He looked so relieved. “I love you too”.“Just don’t shed in the bed or scratch the furniture”. She said with a small grin. “But why didn’t you tell me earlier ?”He chuckled softly, then he stepped up to her, pulling her into his arms. “I didn't want to scare you".She looked up, her eyes locked into his. "You won't Connor. And you are definitely not scaring me by staying either".He growled, c
6 years later "Are you okay baby ?" Connor looked at her with concern across the table. They were sitting in a nice restaurant having dinner. She smiled a calm smile and put a hand on her stomach. "There was just a little bandit in here who felt like using mommy's bladder as a soccer ball". "Oh he is gonna be such a little trouble maker that one". He looked at her lovingly, his eyes so warm and soft. Amelia sent him a lopsided smile. "Yes, I have an inkling that he is going to be very much like his daddy, our little wolf cub". "Do you even know how exquisitely beautiful you are when you are pregnant ?" He grabbed her hand, squeezing it softly. She pulled a face at him. "Oh yeah, It is not like I look like a beached whale at all". "Then you are the most beautiful beached whale ever. I can't seem to keep my eyes or hands off you". He said with a cheeky wink. She arched one eyebrow. "Uh honey, that actually isn't anything new. That has never really been your strong side". He ju
"It is time, Ami". Linda stuck her head in the door and she nodded, taking one last look in the mirror. She felt beautiful and hoped that Connor would feel the same. They had landed in Denmark late in the afternoon the day before and she had spent the night at her parents house with Linda. She walked to the waiting limo and Linda helped her inside. "Oh Ami you look stunning, Connor is so gonna cry when he sees you". "Well the way his hormones are acting up these days I actually fear a whole other reaction". Amelia said giggling and Linda broke down laughing at the thought. She still didn't know where they were going, but she did have an idea and she loved Connor even more for doing this. No Hollywood glamour and paps, just their family and friends in the beautiful Danish summer. And it was an exceptionally beautiful summer day in the beginning of August with the sun high in the sky and the fields heavy with crops as they drove through the landscape. She wasn't nervous. She kne
Two weeks later "Are you okay Connor ?" Joel asked him. He was waiting aboard the private jet with Joel, his family and friends. They waited for his sister and Amelia to arrive. He had managed to keep the wedding plans a secret for her and now it was the day before their wedding. He really hoped he had made the right choice and that she would be happy. He breathed in deeply, his right hand was trembling, but it always did that when he got stressed, one of the few little reminders he still had of his ordeal. "Well I am just nervous if this is the right way to do it, if she is going to be happy". "Don't worry Connor. I am sure that it is the perfect wedding and she is going to love it". Joel put a reassuring hand on his shoulder. Then the limousine drove up next to the plane and Amelia got out with his sister. As always she looked stunning and soon she would finally be his wife, his forever. His Wolf howled with delight. He walked over to the stairs and greeted them. His sister
"Conner you have to let me leave the bed, If I am to plan a wedding". She looked at him. It was about a week later and he had practically kept her hostage in the house. Apparently it was impossible for him to keep his hands off her for more than 15 minutes unless he was sleeping. Not that she complained, so absolutely not, but they had a wedding to plan and only two weeks until the big day and that kind of demanded that she had just a bit of time without his hands and body all over her. He made a really pouting face. "Right now ? Can't it wait just for half an hour or so ?" "Conner you said that yesterday and how much did I get done ?" She asked him, arching one eyebrow. He rolled his eyes and smiled sweetly. "Well you almost made it out the front door one time". "Yes and then you had to kiss me goodbye right ? And threw me over your shoulder like a caveman carrying me back to bed". She crossed her arms and looked at him sternly. His fingers were caressing her thighs. "It wasn
"Ami ?" She heard Connor’s voice and turned towards it. She was standing in the garden in the warm evening, a glass of white wine in her hand. He came towards her from the house and she smiled at him. He was walking almost normally now and she was so proud of him, he had really worked hard. She thought he looked amazing. He had let his beard grow back out, but was keeping it short and trimmed and he was wearing a pair of very well fitting jeans and a green button down shirt, with the top buttons open. He gently took the glas from her and put it on the table. "Sweetie, I have something I want to ask you, but you have to promise to really think about it and answer me honestly okay ?" "Of course Connor, what is it ?" She looked at him wondering what this could be about. He grabbed both her hands and kneeled in front of her, her heart felt like it skipped a couple of beats. "Ami, this time I can do it right and you deserve that". "I love you above anything else and that I will alw
Josh had arrived in London without trouble, but to a big media circus. Everyone wanted to know where he had been and what had happened, and then he got spoiled by his mother, at least that was what his texts said. Connor had made a lot of progress both physically and psychologically himself, especially after accepting Amelia's help. His wolf was also a huge help and a week later he could leave the hospital to go home. They had feared coming home to a destroyed house, but he had called his father and incredibly enough his house had only suffered minor damage, which had already been fixed. When they arrived in LA the city was almost unrecognisable, of course it wasn't all back to normal, but it had been cleaned and people were rebuilding everywhere. They spend the first week returning to a somewhat normal life, talking about what they wanted to do now. Amelia wasn't longer sure she wanted to pursue a singing career. She needed some more time to think, and he had said he would supp
When Amelia woke up the next morning, she was pretty sure she still had feathers in her mouth as she had actually bitten a hole in his pillow trying not to scream. Her cheeks got heated by the memory, it had been so amazing. He really knew some tricks. Even with the situation being as it was and she knew that no matter what, she would never go wanting in that area, but for his sake she hoped he would be able to actually make love to her fully, sooner or later. She could hear that Connor was still asleep, his breathing deep and steady. He was pressed against her, one arm under her head and the other protecting around her waist, the hand resting on her stomach. One of his long legs was wrapped over her legs and she was pretty happy that she didn't have to pee, because she couldn't move at all, instead she snuggled closer to him. "Morning my love". His voice still heavy with sleep, when he nuzzled his nose against her neck, she turned her face to kiss him softly. They got up and dr
*Connor* "Baby, I was thinking if you would like to stay here with me tonight ?" Connor let a finger trail gently over her cheek, he really hoped that she wanted to stay with him. She looked at him lovingly, he loved that she was looking at him like that again. "Of course, I would love that". The bed was wide enough to fit them both, if they just stayed close together and none of them had a problem with that. After he had brushed his teeth, he stripped down to his boxers and crawled into bed. Even though not all of his feeling senses had returned, he still wanted her as close as possible. Luckily he could now feel her kisses on his mouth and neck, he could feel her hands in his hair and he could feel her soft skin and enticing curves under his hands. She came out from the bathroom and he looked at her, she was wearing one of his t-shirts, having her hair loose down around her shoulders. In his eyes she was the most beautiful and sexy just like this. "Come here my beautiful". H
"Hi Josh, are you okay ?" Amelia said as she walked into his room. It was evening and Conner had gotten hold of a hairdresser to do something about his hair and beard, so she decided to check on Josh. He smiled at her. His jaw was rather badly bruised, but otherwise he looked like himself. "Hi Ami, what have you done with Conner ?" "He is getting a shave and a haircut, thank God". She said with a small grin and sat down in the other chair. “He was starting to look like a werewolf” Josh nodded. "Well that was about time, but how is he ? I talked to the doctor, apparently he has been working really hard since the day he disappeared". "Yes he has really made progress, his legs are almost functioning normally now. He needs to keep up his sessions with the psychologist for some time, but he is a lot better and he has gotten the feeling back in his face and partially on the arms and hands". She smiled happily. Josh smiled back at her and winced, it clearly hurt to smile. "I am so happ
