“Whispers of Hope”

Chapter 13 (Marissa)

The dang fool has done gone and did it again.  He used those sinuous lips to get me back in his bed just like he promised he would.  Stupid, traitorous body of mine I thought to myself while glaring daggers back up at th infidel. 

Zach's cocky smile widened as he watched me from the bathroom doorway.  By the look on his face you would have thought that he could hear exactly what I was thinking.

“I can doll face, mates can talk to each other telepathically.” He smirked while speaking in my head again.

“Stop that” I squealed aloud and smacked my hand palm facing down against the bed.  I was getting more and more frustrated with this irritating boy by the minute.

After several more moments of our own private stare off I told him, “I want to go home” using the  bitchy tone I usually reserved for my sister. 

Being so close to him and inhaling his tempting scent was driving me absolutely crazy.  I felt so discombobulated that I wasn’t even sure which direction I was going in and it was all his fault.  I put all the blame solely on the blue eyed hunk standing across the room grinning at me like an idiot.

And of course he says nothing, just stands there with that same cocky smile and watchful stare.  With annoyance riding me hard, I reached for one of the pillows on his bed and using every bit of strength that I could muster, I threw it at his head.

“Will you stop that!” I hollered at him again breathing a little harder than normal from the exertion.

And of course the idiot catches the pillow easily and continues to flash that superman winning smile back at me.

Enough is enough.  I refused to stay here any longer, especially in this room where said hunk slept.  No way, no how and not in this life time.  I was determined more now than ever to go home.

Pulling away from his tantalizing gaze I stood and started for the door.

“Whoa, where do you think your going Missy?” Zach cautiously asked while straightening his large frame.  It was obvious that he was becoming more alert as I tried to make quick strides across the room in my efforts to get away from him.

I didn’t dare to look in his direction.  I refused to give him the tiniest of chances to pull me back in.  Instead I stretched out my arm to open the door and damn, if that boy didn’t do it again.

I suddenly found myself wrapped up in his large capable arms, with my back flush to his chest and the most incredible scent surrounding me.  My body sank into his heat on its own accord.  It was useless, I wasn’t going anywhere any time soon.

“Mine” he growled lowly at my ear.

I so badly wanted to argue with him but I was left feeling boneless and the words just wouldn’t come out of my mouth. 

As Zach pulled me towards the bed I let him lead and weakly mumbled “Why?...... Why is it that I can’t seem to fight you?”

His loud sigh echoed throughout the room before he spoke to me very calmly, “Our wolves call to each other sweetie, they are true mates, we are mates and it will always be like this.  You and me, together forever.”

He had said those words earlier and at that point in time I didn’t want to hear it because I didn’t understand it.  Heck, I still don’t understand it even now.
