Controlling myself around her

Eric's POV 

I closed my eyes and inhaled the sweet, enticing scent coming from her neck.

''Mine.'' my wolf howled in pleasure, and I noticed my eyes were becoming darker.

I knew it was hard to control myself if I stayed closer to her, so I pulled away from her and moved a bit away while moving my gaze to the floor, so she won't see the color of my eyes.

''Are you okay.'' She asked while moving closer to me.

''No, no, I think something got into my eyes.'' I lied and took in a deep breath to calm my exciting wolf before looking up to her.

''Let's go in.'' I took her hand and led her inside the house.

We got in and sat beside each other without saying a word until she spoke up, 

''Did you meet my aunt.'' she asked.

''No.'' I quickly replied, so she won't notice a thing

''I was really busy with work, but we can go see her when we go back to California.''

''The doctor said I have just a few days to stay at the hospital.''

''Yeah, we just need to run some test on you to see if everything is alright.'' 

She nodded her head and went into deep thought while biting her fingers like a kid

''What are you thinking.'' I asked while pulling her closer to myself

''Nothing.'' she spoke nervously and tried moving away from me, but I pulled her back and made her rest her head on my chest.

''Tell me what you are thinking and don't hide anything away from me.'' I pleaded and ran my fingers through her hair.

We stayed in each other arms in total silence until I noticed I was losing control already.

It's been two years since I was last with a woman, and it's killing me just being with her.

I knew I was losing myself, and it took everything in me to keep my wolf in bay.

''We need to take you back to the hospital.'' I muttered out quickly and gently pulled her away from me because I knew I was finding it difficult to control myself around her.

She grumbled and stood up from the couch while murmuring words like a kid.

I chuckled at her behavior and stood up from the couch 

''Let's go.'' she followed me out of the house to my car, we got to my car, I opened the door and let her in before entering the car and drove off.

We drove in silent for a while before she spoke up 

''Can I ask you a question.'' she asked nervously 

''Yes.'' I replied

She kept quiet for a while, deliberating on what to say before she spoke up 

''What was I like.'' she asked curiously 

I smiled and shook my head 

''You were something else.'' I chuckled softly with my gaze on the road

''Is it in a bad way or good way.'' she asked 

I chuckled softly and glimpsed at her before speaking up 

''You were an amazing person Vicky, very amazing.''
