(Beckham)
I woke up in the arms of an angel. Literally. Eva had snuck out of bed, and Damon had snuggled up to my side with his arm stretched out on top of me. Eva was giggling at the foot of the bed, snapping photographs of us on her phone, I'm sure to send to Mason and Lexi later on.
"Eva," groaned Damon sexually as his hand started moving towards my pec as if he was going to squeeze it like he would a woman's breast. Terrified, I pushed him off the side of the bed.
"What the fuck!" yelled Damon, as he hit the ground hard.
Eva was now bent over from laughing so hard. I flew out of bed and scooped Eva into my arms, tossing her lightly back on the bed and stretching my body over hers. Eva's mouth was open in shock, none of us had really shown her our supernatural speed yet.
Damon was still sitting on the floor confused.
"I hate to break up the love fest this morning, but would someone mind telling me why I was pushed on the floor just a second ago?" he asked, the sarcasm in his voice apparent.
Eva grinned at me and I moved off of her. She pulled up the pictures on her phone and triumphantly showed Damon the one she had taken where he was about to fondle my chest. Damon shook his head in disbelief, flushing a dark red color. I had never seen him do that before and it sent both Eva and I into a rush of hysterics.
I had always been the outlier of the group. Damon and Mason had known each other for centuries before I came into the picture, and although I considered them my brothers, I had never bonded with them the way they had bonded with each other. It was nice to see Damon laugh in my presence though, since I knew he was furious about my attempts to date Eva. Damon stood up and stalked towards Eva.
"Don't pretend you aren't going to use those pictures for private time later, Eva," he said to her slyly.
Now it was Eva's turn to blush. I knew our little virgin wasn't having any "private" time, not that it didn't turn me on ferociously to think of her having some. Despite Damon's presence, I felt myself growing hard at the thought. Eva looked so amazingly beautiful sitting in her bed, her hair sexily mussed, and a flush still on her cheeks. Last night had been my first time getting to spend the night with her, and despite Damon's less than ideal presence, I had savored every second of holding her soft body in my arms.
Damon picked up his phone and swore.
"I've got weights and then team meetings in ten minutes because of our bye week," he told Eva regretfully. "You work tonight right? Let me know when you're going home, and I'll come get you. Then, we're going to talk about last night."
He kissed her lips softly, and a small ball of fury welled up inside of me at the sight of his lips on something that was mine. I shook it off, and averted my eyes when he deepened it. He then swiftly walked out of the room without saying anything to me. Typical asshole Damon.
I turned to look at Eva. She was looking after Damon, her eyes soft with love. I could tell she was already missing him. My stomach began acting up again. The more time I spent with Eva, the more I felt like she was mine, that she had always been mine.
Sometimes in my dreams, images would flutter through my mind, so clear that they seemed like memories more than anything else. I was always with Eva in them. Kissing Eva, loving Eva, wanting Eva. It was a bitter pill to swallow that Eva haunted my every moment, waking and asleep, yet I didn't occupy all of hers. I almost didn't want my dreams to be memories of something we had both forgotten. What could be worse than knowing that I had once been her everything, and that somehow I had lost her?
Eva turned towards me and smiled. I hadn't forgotten that something had happened last night while she was out with Lexi. I had learned though that Eva wasn't a big sharer. She would clam up if you tried to push her into telling you something. She had to tell me on her own time even if it drove me crazy from not knowing what was bothering her.
What happened last night was just one of the things I was waiting for her to talk to me about. The other, was where she kept disappearing to around me. She would often go into a trance, not responding despite my repeated attempts to rouse her. When she would come out of it she would try to play it off like it was nothing, but I had noticed she would get really quiet afterwards, like she was studying something in her mind.
I hadn't been crazy about Eva going to a club without one of us. Anyone who met her basically became her stalker, and I wasn't sure that Lexi was up to the task of protecting her. I tried to temper back my overprotectiveness though. That was Damon's job to be the arrogant, overprotective bastard. If he wasn't careful, it would eventually push Eva away. Wouldn't that be nice…
Lexi was a conundrum to me. I didn't know if the other guys noticed, but she was always popping around no matter what we were doing. Of course, she always had a perfectly reasonable explanation for why she was there too, but it still seemed suspicious. I got that she wanted to be best friends with Eva, but there was something about her that rubbed me wrong. Like everything she was doing wasn't as it seemed.
"Beckham?" Eva said, her voice bringing me out of my reverie. She was looking at me inquiringly. I grinned reassuringly at her.
"Want to get breakfast with me? And then I thought we could catch a movie before your shift?" I asked her hopefully. It wasn't often that Damon was busy, and I could be ensured that he wouldn't interrupt us. I was grateful that Mason was held up on his tour. I knew he was probably dying right now, literally and figuratively, without being able to see her in person. I was still quizzical how he was going to go so long without feeding on anything but the emotions generated during his concerts. I was pretty sure he had been having some sort of sexual activity every day before he met Eva.
"Can we go see your new movie?" she asked hopefully. I groaned. I hated watching myself in movies. And trying to gauge if she was liking it the whole time would be miserable.
"I saw Beyond Eden. You were breathtaking in it," she told me, her eyes lighting up as she described her favorite parts. Suddenly her seeing as many movies of mine as possible didn't seem like such a bad idea. Damon and Mason had both been able to impress her with their skills, I needed to start trying to impress her with mine.
As was her new habit according to Damon, Eva got dressed in her closet. I hated to break it to her, but it got me hot just thinking about her changing clothes in the same room as me, even if I couldn't see anything. Eva emerged from the closet, looking amazing as usual in tight black skinny jeans, and an off the shoulder black top. She applied some red lipstick in a mirror and I struggled to hide my reaction. Visions of those lips wrapped around my cock surged into my head and I had to start thinking of movie quotes to calm myself down.
Unaware of my thoughts, Eva put her arm in mine. I grabbed a baseball cap to try and disguise myself until we could make it to the car waiting out front. This was going to be an incredible day.
