Stone leaned forward so that his face hovered next to mine and his warmth breath tickled my mouth and my nose.
I moved so that my lips were his ear before I giggled the words "Your tattoos turn me on."
A deep dark guttural noise that sounded like it had been lodged in his throat for a while now made its way out of him.
I let out a laugh and I kissed him on the jaw before the pain took over me.
Chapter Thirty-One
Chapter Thirty-One
It was midnight by the time we got back to my apartment building. My current position was off the floor and in the embrace of the two bulky tattooed arms.
"You didn’t have to carry me all the way back." I told Stone as I prodded his chest.
I tried to stop him back at the parlour from picking me up bridal style. His response was to send me a glare and tighten his hold on me.
If I was being honest with myself then I had no objections to getting transported in the large arms. However, I felt bad that he had carried me from the tattoo place to his bike and then from his bike to my floor in the apartment building
"I promise that I’m okay now." I assured him while looking up at his ridiculously good-looking face that currently looked stressed.
He grumbled "Ella."
"There is nothing wrong with me." I tried to convince him "I only half fainted...twice."
"There is no such thing as half fainting." He said in the form of a deep noise as he frowned down at me.
Letting out a huff, I considered throwing myself over his shoulder and sticking my head down his t-shirt to see his tattoo.
He had still not told me what it was, and I was growing impatient.
Before I could weigh up the pros and cons of pouncing on him, he set me down gently on the floor in front of my apartment so I could open the door.
I fumbled with my keys and the lock meanwhile Stone kept ahold of my waist and made sure I did not fall over.
His voice was husky and strained as he admitted "You really scared me back there."
I pushed open the door but I did not go in and instead, I turned around and faced him with a small smile.
"I am fine, Lurch." I repeated to him for the millionth time "Did I not mention before that I don't handle pain well and I usually faint?"
"No," He growled, "You did not mention that."
If he was on edge about the whole tattoo thing, then I was dreading seeing him when it was my time of the month, and I fainted a lot.
Stone followed me into the living room and sat on the sofa as he dragged me to also sit down.
