Fighting (To Be Yours)

Chapter 23

As the song played I reached out and connected with his wolf, feeling them both so closely, and tugged his attention from kill to me. Where Have You Been sounded all around us and I moved my body in time with the music. My hand trailed down my body before raising above my head while my hips slowly turned before the tempo raised. I turned and put his hands on my waist, goading him to dance with me. My butt was pressed firmly against his malehood and I started to move. I knew he would move with me, it was instinct and we'd been doing it since we were eight. His breathing was hard in my ear but I focsused on moving, and keeping us both in line. By the time the intense beat came on, he was starting to come back to me. I could tell from the little grips and tugs he would inflict on my waist. After the song had ended we stood in that position. He wasn't completely there, but his grip on reality was starting to come back. I felt his claws rip through my shirt and press gently on my skin. It wasn't a threat, it was a claim. He wouldn't officially claim me until he knew I was ready, this would only be temporary. A mark that would follow with his scent temporarily clinging to my skin so anyone would know I was his. A mate bond that would only last until I showered it off. I nodded and held onto his arms as his claws pentetrated the skiin that was there before he retracted them. There would be no blood, there was only blood if I wasn't willing or it had been forced upon me. I felt warm, and then hot. So very very hot that I couldn't stand the feel of my clothes on my skin, and the air around me did nothing to help. It was too energized, it was all too much. My skin had grown ten times more sensitive and I could feel everything. The way that life moved around me was so hypnotic that, I'm pretty sure, I swooned deeper into Ander.

"We'll have to mate soon, it's getting harder and harder to control my wolf when males touch you." He whispered in my ear, rubbing the puncture holes he'd made on me. I nodded but wasn't able to talk, I was still trying to fix all of my emotions that ran through my mind. My wolf reached out to his and he hissed in my ear.

"We're leaving." I nodded but I didn't move, my legs weren't capable of holding myself up. He lifted me slightly and walked out until we were in the hall, and put me down. The air was cooler out here, it wasn't charged with any sort of energy. It still was too much. I needed to be covered with something, him.

"Luna, stop thinking dangerous thoughts." He growled, lifting me up again and storming to the training room.

"It's... it's the mate bond. It's messing with us." I didn't trust myself to speak anymore, so I talked to him through the mental link. I groaned and took off my shirt, my eyes widening as I felt how damp it was. I was sweating, I never sweat. Our bodies were built self efficient, we didn't need to sweat.

"Maybe you're having a bad reaction to it." He said, his eyes devouring every piece of skin that was shown to him. I hadn't worn a sports bra, I'd worn an actual bonafide bra complete with lace and a color that wasn't black or beige.

"I think it's a good reaction, and that's absolutely terrifying." I wiped the sweat off of me and put my hair in a pony tail. I stood only in my boyshorts and bra, but there was still heat. With a growl I focused on my body and tried to read what it was telling me. I was hot and I was throbbing, I got that, but from where. I looked down and cocked my head and then blushed deeply.

"I can smell it on you." He slowly walked forward as his eyes raked my whole body. I backed up slowly, my hands braced in front of me and my body slouched. In hindsight, that wasn't a good idea. My breasts spilled over slightly and were more presentable. His eyes blazed amber as he watched me inch back, unease settled in my stomach. In his eyes, I was perilously close to running. I wasn't stupid, I wasn't going to just outright run away from a horny, aggravated wolf; that would mean being caught and all sorts of bad things happening after that.

"Ander, think about this before you pounce." I pleaded, trying my best to keep my voice strong and clear of weakness or fear.

"We've been thinking about it for awhile, now, love." His voice was gruff, but he was still there. I couldn't fight the both of them off, but I could try and focus on one. I let my wolf out fully and stopped backing up, I stood up straight and dug my feet in the Earth. He still walked forward and didn't stop until I was pressed into his front and I could feel all of him on me.
