Chapter 25 (Marissa)

Without opening my eyes I slowly became aware of the soft humming sound that the ceiling fan made as it spun above me.  Barely lifting my lids I could see that the room was dimly lit with the remnants of the last rays of the sun as it made its slow descent downwards and twilight loomed on the horizon. 

Lying there for a moment I let myself breathe in the scent of my mate and let it wash over me like a late day spring shower on a warm sunny afternoon.  It was exhilarating and stirred a hunger deep inside of me that I was certain only one person would ever be ever be able to fully sate.  Zach, my other half, my beloved soul mate.

My mind flitted  to our earlier activities and had me blushing something fierce as I recalled how wantonly that I behaved in Zach’s car.  Who would have thought that I had a secretive naughty hussy inside of me? I know that I didn’t.

Turning over I reached out and expected to wrap my arms around my mate but instead I encountered blank space and a cold sheet.  This was odd, I thought to myself.  Where in the devil would he have gone?

Fully sitting up I took my time in scanning the room and after a few minutes I frowned when I realized that I was in fact, all alone.

Pushing the covers off of me I stood up and stretched, reaching my arms high above me.  I felt different, rejuvenated.  It was a feeling that I had never experienced before.  It was such a complete feeling of euphoria that surpassed anything that I could have ever imagined.  And there was only true reason that I could be experiencing these wonderful things, Zach.   Which goes back to my first question, where was he?

Thinking of Zach and having his scent so fully surrounding me made me just that much more eager to see him.  I needed to be close to him.  I yearned for his gentle touch and wanted him to wrap me up in his broad muscular arms so that I could listen to the soothing sound of the continual beat of his heart.  I really needed my mate.

Intent on finding him I slipped my feet into the well worn flip flops that I had grown accustomed to.  Without Zach near there was a distinct chill in the air that raised tiny goose bumps all along my arms.  Glancing around I spotted one of Zach’s sweat shirts thrown over the chair at his desk.  With a smile curling up at the corners of my lips I strode over to the desk and grabbed it without hesitation.  Pulling it over my head, again, I had to stop and take a second to inhale his rich and spicy aromatic scent.  The scent that sent a slow burn spiraling through my veins. 

The burn was like a small fire that was in desperate need of being stroked and I could only imagine one person stroking that fire until it built up into such a frenzy that I wouldn’t be able to contain myself.  The feeling started deep down in my gut and spread throughout my entire body like a tiny venomous spider weaving her own personal web of desire through me.  Dropping my hands by my side I shivered in anticipation.   Man, I have got to get a grip on myself.  This boy has managed to completely turn me inside out and at this point I’m not sure if that is such a good thing or not.

Letting out a sigh, I shook my head in order to gain some perspective.  I needed to find Zach and I needed to do so quickly before I started to go into dt’s or withdrawals or something.  That’s how unnerving I felt right now; It was getting that bad..  This just wasn't natural.  Turning around I shoved my hands roughly though my hair in agitation and walked out of the room in search for my mate, I needed to know why I was feeling like this.  I needed some answers.
