This first time Emmett felt Paul’s warmth was when the shifter was in wolf form. They had collided in confrontation and Emmett was embarrassingly incapacitated by the intoxicating sensation of heat. From that day on he craved a second taste of Paul’s hot skin. It was like a lesser form of his need for blood. The thought never left him, it was always there nagging him in the back of his mind. He felt depressingly cold compared to the shifter and desperately want the heat back.
So when Paul came to relieve him from guard duty at the Bella’s house, Emmett knew had to act and to act smartly. He walked over to the wolf, trying to make his stance as non-threatening as possible, which was a hard task considering what a beast we was. Coming to about a foot away from Paul, Emmett stopped. A low growl past the wolf’s up turned lips as a warning. Any closer and Emmett’s quest for warmth would turn into something entirely different.
Emmett crouched down. “ I don’t want to hurt you Paul. If I was going to I already would have” he said in the most comforting voice he could muster. The wolf relaxed a fraction, though his lithe form was still ready to pounce any second. Slowly, as not to scare, Emmett extended his hand. Gray eyes watched him, but he kept on going until finally his fingers brushed through deliciously warm fur. Emmett closed his eyes, basking in the wonderful feeling.
But it wasn’t enough, he needed more. Almost out of its own volition, Emmett body moved closer and embraced the wolf. Heat seeped through the fabric of his shirt and the skin of his chest tingled. He was breathing quick, unnecessary breaths, riding the wave of warmth as it spilled over him.
One minute he was holding the wolf and the next something quite smaller but equally hot was in his arms. “ Vampires are so fuckin’ weird” Paul commented before tangling his hands in Emmett’s hair and pulling him in for a kiss. Emmett realized with an inner smile that this was one addiction that he could grow to like.
