Used to being alone I stretch the length of the bed ... or try to. My forearm angles upwards as my elbow slides over the boulder of his shoulder, calf diping behind his I freeze. Retracting my limbs gently I look to where the pillow barrier should be only to see Erebus cuddling the pillows, laid on his front, head towards mine.
He looks innocent while sleeping, hair curled above the brow, his lips slightly parted as he snores softly. Crazy to think this is the man that has caused or contributed to the ruin of so many lives. He stirs from his sleep burying his head to the pillow whilst stretching his legs. Pushing up his torso from his forearms his silver eyes scan the room, falling to me. My stomach swirls
"Still here" Rubbing sleep from his eyes
"Can't leave when you locked the door" sitting, scooping the sheets over my breasts.
"And ... what side did I lock the door from exactly ?" Amused when realisation hits me "besides I 'unlocked' the door after I won the deal" I mush a pillow into his perfect features. Laughter rips past his lips muffled by padding. He rips the pillow back tossing it at me with smile, my cheeks coloured
"What's the plan.." Rosalind walks in "oohh, cosy" offering a charming smile instantly, my own a tight line. Erebus brushes back his hair
"Of course" scoffing "you literally just have a bed service for women !" rolling my eyes, he grabs my hand before I have a chance to leave the bed. I look to his fingers for a minute and still pull free
"She's fiesty even in the morning" he glares at her dogging my steps to the closet. Open and slamming doors as well as draws he stands casting shadows from the doorway. Grabbing sportswear and my trainers I try to head for the bathroom. He doesn't move
"Move" Folding my arms, he does the same. Sighing, I try to squeeze by, but he shifts his weight
"Will you stop acting like a child!" Gritting my teeth
"You first" a humourless laugh passes my lips
"Really ? Me ?" Pointing to my chest "You lock me in your room .."
"We made a deal .."
"No, you had me at a disadvantage, I was playing fair !"
"Funny, I still don't hear you complaining about the kiss, just that I caught you of guard," eyes and statement causing me to pause heart all a flutter
"Doesn't change the fact that you have women that just help themselves to your room !" Exasperated "how easy are you ?" He scoffs, grinding my jaw his eyes squint
"Your right. I've slept with a woman or two," his finger tilting my chin, I knock it away
"But never had one stay till the morning" I frown at him "I'd fuck them, it was meaningless they knew it and they'd be gone straight after" his voice hard. Thoughts of him rolling, sweaty beneath the sheets between my thighs, has me flustered
"You're telling me you haven't been doing the same ?" He had a point
"Fair" my temper cooling "although .." Fluttering my lashes at him "mine was never in the bedroom.." muttered only for his ears, I saunter by aware of his eyes to me.
***********
I sit atop the same sky scrapper I ran to yesterday, my feet dangling the edge
"Nothing like the cliff back home" My thoughts aloud as I skim left over pieces of rubble. My mind runs through my already eventful nearly 12 hours with the man who is obviously strong, attractive, an arse arrogant, murdering machine .....
"It's this fever !" I declare to no one "The fever is what has me doing crazy shit !" Exasperated I stand to kick at the stones "if I stay away I'm sure I'll be able to resist doing something stupid" instantly my neck began to heat and my heart quickened
"And where do you think you could go where I wouldn't find you ?" I stiffen to his blunted voice, closing my eyes I turned slowly
"I'm not interested in being your 'mate' love alright so .. for both our sakes I'll take up residence elsewhere" already his head was shaking "I'm not interested in you ... I'm not what your after so unless you wanna go at it till death I'll just.." my hands pointing between us I'm cut of
"I disagree" groaning he begins he's prowl and I side set in my ever decreasing circle "your drawn to me like I'm drawn to you, it's primal" scoffing again I move
"Sorry not in the market for a murder and psychopath !" Crossing my arms and grounding my teeth, his scent pulls at me, frustration sends shiver all over
"And what do you think you are to us ? because trust me, love, your not coming up rosey or do I need to remind you of yesterday ?" My jaw slackens
"What I am to your people is what you are to mine, except mine choose not to follow some fucked up pack leader rules." arms stretched wide while its my turn to shake my head
"Except your forgetting one thing" Pointing at him, an inch from his bare chest "they follow you"
"No, I just take what's mine.."
"I'm not yours!"
"The mark says otherwise lo.."
"Love yeah I know, doesn't mean I want to 'follow' it and for Christ sake put a shirt on !" Exasperated and quite possibly hoping that if he did I might stop seeing him in a degrading manner, a manner involving panting, sweat and heat. The crooked smile returns as if eyes can see my mind
"Come home with me ... " His voice deep, his gravitational pull hooking me. I try to hold my ground. His finger traces my arm and my temperature rises, my neck warms as I resist the urge to bare myself again, teeth grounding
"Come with me .. co operatively or take a ride back on my shoulder" my jaw slackens to the point it opens and once again I'm shut back in the room with a click
