I stand in the room she helped create. Long rough cuts of trees make dining tables, people sit from all quadrants together. The strong, the weak and she made it all happen. I smell her before I see her. Her scent driving my senses alive, fingers curl the arms of this ridiculously high backed chair as I sit watching others below me. The connection of her brown eyes is enough to drive me wild but I remain unmoving, my glance sweeping from hers to others. Heart forever beating to hers
**********
I feel his eyes burning, my heart elevated as I try to remain neutral minded. It has become clear to me that any thoughts of him can stir my senses or lead to arousal emitting pheromones. Ones that his wolf can pick up on and a frenzy begins so, I now find myself distant, avoidance being my only friend and for some reason he lets me.
"Sit down peaches" the gruff voice draws my eyes to a half shaven red head, broad shouldered and tattooed from neck to navel, this would be Aven
"Sparrow feet" muttered slumping beside her receiving shoves, my shoulders rubbing back
"Quit it, your knocking the table" grumbles Hughie
"Wind your neck in turkey strips" Aven bellows back sinking teeth into her chicken leg
"Come on Aven" I snicker back "leave two second Hughie out of this" smiling sweetly back. This causes Avens head to roll backwards, her mouth creating large enough volume it echos, my shoulders burning
"Yeah laugh it up you set of bitches" we laugh some more
"Really ? All you got ?" Hughie stands empty tray in hand, silent only for a moment
"Catch you by the stream ?" His eyes glancing between us Aven agrees while I decline
"I've got plans I need to put in to action" Aven groans
"Had to get yourself wified of there peaches didn't ya !" Her reply has my jaw locking. I didn't plan on being a rogue, an outcast to even these people but yet here I sit
"Honestly Aven when I tell you you don't have a choice trust me, you don't" standing I stack my tray to Hughie's winning some more grumbles and saunter past his raised pugh, eyes remaining at my toes.
Chicken pens are wired, seeds are sawd into vegetable patches and live stock is starting to take hold in the border reach, but my favorite past time is the view from my deralick post. Wind whips my hair round my features, my eyes close as the scent of moss fills my lungs the only thing missing is dampened wood. My mind flashes of my past life, past loves and tangles, my once friends. I feel him before I hear him. His presence blankets me, traps me, wraps around me and I'm not sure I can remember how to breathe
**********
I find her where I always knew I would, seated atop the building the night she first fled from me, to escape me and yet here is where I find her while she tries again. Her back to me, wind swirls her around me, filling me up but her scent matches her heart, heavy.
"You avoid me" my words stating facts, her hair Cascades past her shoulder, eyes flickering
"You have not been ... Back" brows arched I find myself struggling, words are not my strength. She sighs heavily turning towards me.
"What do you want Erebus ?" My jaw tenses even in the dough of her eyes I can see her sucking me in, willing me to be near. Maddening woman
"Answers" passes abruptly, raising "those people,.. are they where you go ? That boy who you see ?" My questions flicker to her
"What you asking Erebus, if I'm fucking Hughie ?!" Her arms wrap around her, the mention of his name has my fists balling, like I said maddening. Her brows raise with my pulse, gaze to my fists
"Relax" she snorts "I've not laid with anyone but you" finger edged at me through the distance and I do, relax
"You don't need to go round throwing people from buildings" hands now to the space around her, head tilting. There it is again, sadness. My eyes take in the open space and the out of place bed
"What ? You got your answer now fuck of" seething her feet land with boulder hurdling it from the edge
"No, stay back, stay there" her palms are inches from my chest when I realise my body has carried me to her, inches from her touch, if I just lean ..
"No don't," trying to weave around my large frame "when we .. touch it just it doesn't stop .." pleading with me is only arousing, my lip curls
"I don't .. want .." her breath catches at one skim of my fingers down her forearm
"Please .." breathless I want to soak it in but a single tear drips to the rubble, swallowed by the dried ground. I tilt her chin, baring her dampening features to me, arousal turning to rage
"Why this ?" Fingertips catching the moisture "who did this ?" My voice is harsher than intended
"You" pushing my hands away " you did this to me!" Pushing at me "I didn't want this, I didn't want you and your fucked up abandoned city !" Her body shakes
"I had a family .. I had a home a purpose I wasn't supposed to be here .." her soul moans to mine past the physical and I reach for it. The pounding stops as her body sags to mine, arms cocooning her to me.
"You miss home" whispered to her ear, combining us as one, I bring her back and stay with her while her souls squeezes free the droplets of sorrow
"Free yourself from the sorrow" fingers twirling with the curls "you are ment for me as I am to you, have your time to grieve your past life, what you lost but remember. Here was your home first" her shoulders rub my chest "and remember who took that from you" glossy eyes look to mine
"Don't give a man tears based on a lie he fabricated to keep you" fingers gentle in the lines they leave across her features "I have been honest in who I am to you, it's true you did not choose me but I also didn't ask for you did I now love ?" She smirks at me and I feel a warmth
"Thank you" she sighs into my neck as she crawls her way up to the nape of my neck, breathing in my scent and passing tickling warm air. There goes that stirring again. Clearing my throat I fidget slightly trying to remove her from me, trying to prevent that intention. Finally she moved to get herself a drink so I removed myself, more space the better.
"Are you leaving ?" Ignoring her I continue for the door "wait, ... Please" fingers gentle on my wrist pleading with her, internally I groan
"Please .. stay .." her eyes are wide and round, lips pouty and skin flushed, arousing, her body reaching across the bed to me
"Only if you never leave" her eyes glint "you stay here with me as mine, like you are and I'll stay" her fingers work their way up to my elbow. Seated on the backs of her calves she reels me in until my knees brush the bed. Her fingers dig into my shoulders pulling me over her as the fingers now run through my hair
"Amaris .." a warning, a husky one but a warning "don't .." her teeth graze my lobe, tongue running along my neck. Heat rises to my neck, the smell of copper fills the air from where her canines tug at my skin a spot below my ear stinging while her tongue laps me up
"I'm yours, like your now mine" growls fill the room, engulfing her with me, roughly my hand cups her throat bringing her face to view. My blood runs a trail from her lips to the nape of her neck teeth clenched my palm squeezes slightly eye glimmering to hers. Her palm covers my own eyes unmoving from mine. Pupils dilated I roughly take her lips to mine.
