Love Torment

24

"It's not the end of the world."

************

I blacked out. I completely blacked out. There was NO SHAME in admitting I had a problem. That was always the first step to recovery.

When I came to, I was panting, squirming within someone's hold, and partly growling? That last bit was weird. My breathing was heavy and I tried to stay within the hold Siege had on me. His chest was pressed against mine. His head turned away from me and his arms folded on the wall. I was firmly pinned against the wall.

When my senses began going back into focus, I was met with his clear grey eyes. I recognized those eyes anywhere. Was I confused as to how they went from green to grey? Nope, we weren't human so... whatever.

What I was worried about was the proximity we had acquired. It was cozy. As I looked at him, I felt myself begin to calm down.

"Keep still or I'll put a leash on you." Siege told me lowly. Siege already had a smooth deep voice, I felt it at the pit of my stomach each time he spoke.

I felt myself NOT calm all the way down.

He was struggling to keep me down. I was struggling to keep myself down. The intensity of my emotions was overwhelming. I need to destroy something. I needed blood.

On a regular, Monday morning I would have NEVER let any Hill Billy regard me in such a manner. THAT especially went to Siege, I knew my worth but that unpleasantly unmannered young man was, sorta kinda maybe debatably, debatably, helping me.

"Calm DOWN..." He repeated his words, he sounded more agitated than before. He scanned my face. I wasn't sure what he was searching for

I reminded myself to breathe.

In...

Out...

In...

Out...

In...

Out...

...AND his weight was getting heavy.

"You're just like your father." He mumbled to me as he pushed himself off but still keeping his arms at both sides of my body to keep me in place.

I tilted my head up at him with a sigh. His face was shadowed by the darkness. Even so, I could see the look of hatred he was using to mask his face.

That prick.

Strangely enough, his eyes told a different story. His eyes showed an emotion of conflict. TRY AS HE MAY HE DIDN'T EVEN BELIEVE HIS LIES.

"Whatever, Siege." I whispered out to him. Feeling the tiredness seep through, I was in no mood for him. I thought I would be ready but whatever happened drained the hell out of me.

How could such looks be wasted on such a guy? WHY!?

"This is going to get you into trouble. We're not allowed to show our abilities to the humans..." Siege let out lowly as he kept his gaze fixated on mine. The only thing that my brain was thinking about was that he didn't smell half bad.

"Yeah..." I agreed as I continued to maintain eye contact. Somewhere along the line, his mask of hatred slipped off. His conflicted look took over his entire face.

Okay, his face wasn't wasted anymore...

With a tired smile lifted my arm and put my hand onto his chest. My heart skipped a beat as emotions ran through me alarmingly. I could see things. Memories and thoughts.

None of them belonged to me.

Seige didn't brush away my hand. His eyes were fixated on mine, he was in a trance.

"Mine..."

A whisper.

But a firm statement.

Mine.

One word.

I could feel his heartbeat accelerated along with his emotions of confliction. He had it BAD.

I was just that amazing...

That left a bright smile on my face as I dropped my hand. I could tell that he was very determined to hate me. I wasn't going to make it easy for him. My energy was restored, just like that.

"What are you mining for? I don't see any...gold around." I couldn't help but remark with the lamest of puns at his odd statement as I wiggled my eyebrows using my 'dad joke' voice.

He didn't say anything. He didn't react. He simply zoned back in from his trance and gave me a stony glare.

Tough crowd...

"You're gold." He mumbled. His glare was still there but for a fraction of some time, he smiled.

My heart skipped yet another beat as my smile was way past my eyes.

"What?" My tone was laced with overeager joy at the sheer fact that he replied so swiftly and easily.

"I didn't say anything." He told me as it was a simple truth. His expression suggested I was the crazy one.

For a moment I believed him. The look of seriousness he gave me was playing mind games!

Oh.

He was good.

I intensified my gaze at him as I furrowed up my eyebrows in confusion. I was about to argue my case but he pushed himself away from me, creating a slight wind that sent chills in my direction.

He wasted no time to turn himself to take the few strides needed to reach the door. He had his hand on the door handle when he turned and offered me eyes of...less mean intent.

"After the game, tomorrow, we should talk." He told me before he pushed down the handle to open the door.

"What game? Finish your sentences." I told him. Giving the outline of his back was a major frown down.

"Hockey match, at the sports festival tomorrow." He said slightly turning his head so that he was giving me his side.

"Okay." I replied with a shrug. He turned back completely to give me a look of confusion. I knew he was expecting a remark but he kinda saved my butt so...

I owed Mister.

"Perfect, it's not a date." He told me carefully as he turned back to open the door.

"Debatable." I told him as I walked closer to him and stopped myself beside him. He had opened the door, letting the light shine on us, perfectly showing ourselves. Seige wasn't looking at me but I had a bright smile on my face.

"I mean, my thoughts weren't even close to being there. Why were your thoughts wandering in that rather forbidden area?" I questioned him as I gave him a little playful bump with my shoulder.

His head turned to me and his eyes scanned down my body. It was quick. Once he realized what he just did, he turned away from me and walked away without a word.

It was going to be easier than expected.
