Don't Runaway [Book 2]

Chapter 23

Heading back to my... Victor's room I couldn't help but keep a smile on my face. All that heavy weight that I was holding, the disappointment, fear, judgment, everything that I thought was had left. If I died today I think I would die in peace knowing that she didn't forget me. That she was happy and now maybe able to live a life far greater than the one we grow up to know.

But what may have kept my smile up was that she was still the same old Dawn. What everyone said about her, what she said what happened, she grow to love the very thing she hated and made a family. A new family.

"Edea," a strong husky voice called behind me. It wasn't hard to know who called me so I just kept walking. Hoping I could get to the room fast enough to lock the door and just sleep. "Edea!" I just kept going until, as fast as lightning, hit a hard rock. Almost falling on my butt, Victor took my arm and brought me into an embrace. "Are you alright?" with my ear on his chest, right on the nipple, I could hear his heart beat like crazy.

"I'm fine." Trying to pushing him away but that only made him embrace me tighter. "No," I said out of breath changing my mind, "I'm not okay. You're crushing me."

"I'm sorry," he said letting go. "Did you get to see her? Dawn? Well you had too, I mean you haven't seen each other for so long." Was it just me or did he sound like a girl?

"Victor, I did see her. But right now I'm really tired and I haven't been able to sleep all that well. So can you give me some room." I asked as nicely as I could. If Dawn can get along with theses vampires than so can I since she is now one herself.

"Of course," he smiled. Giving him a side smiled in return. I walked around him to get to the room. I wasn't surprised that I could hear his footsteps following mine. Did he think I was inviting me to bed or something?

Walking all the way to the room I didn't say anything. Some where I hoped that he was just going to continue down the hall and down the stairs or something. I didn't want to get on anyone's bad side or start any trouble for Dawn's sake now that I know that she's alive and well. Now standing in front of the door, Victor stood beside me with his shadow showering over me.

I didn't move, didn't reach for the doorknob, I just stood there. Waiting for him to leave. From the corner of my eye I saw his hand reach for the knob, twisted it, and opened the door. "Are you going to go in," I nod my head once in responds. Going through the door I spun around and placed my hand on his chest, trying to avoid any eye contact.

"You can't come in."

"Why not?" he asked.

"This is my... room." I said placing my other hand on the door it shut it.

"This is my room," he said.

"The sign on the door says otherwise. Besides I don't share rooms." I was really trying to do this as nicely as I could.

I could feel a smile curl up, he bent down and whispered in my ear, "You should get use to me because you are my life mate and I won't let you go." I shivered at the tone of his voice as I felt my insides squeeze with excitement. My ears began to burn as he continued to take with his hot breath hitting my skin. "You don't know how bad I wanted to take you my little kitten. Hiding your naked body behind the bed. How you tormented me so. Even now I wished that I jumped you just so I can see this... glorious body of yours. This body that hides from me within these clothes."

I could feel my heart pound so hard it felt like I could have a heart attack. Between my legs I could feel a puddle forming in my underwear. This bastard, I screamed in my head. What was he doing to me? Maybe I gone into Officer Miller's body to much that I developed something.

"Victor," I whispered as my voice trembled.

He stood up to show his height as he looked me in the eyes, "Your eyes are full of lust kitten. Do you want me that badly?" he smiled.

No, yes, no, oh god yes I wanted him. I could see the hunger in his eyes. His sexy tongue licking his lip as he let his fangs slide out. Take me! Take me! The loud voice in my head screamed. Slowly I let my hand travel up his body as far as I could. Gripping the collar of his shirt he let me pull in and then shoved him back making him stumble.

Get a grip Edea.

"Stop that," I almost screamed. "I can't do this. A lot has happened in just a few days, Victor. You show up, your sister attacked my home and almost put me in jail! Then you take me to my sister and I just reunited with her. We have your sister coming for us and that Crevan guy. You want to pretend that nothing's happening and want to get in my pants after we just meet. No, no, I'm not having this. You're clinging onto me and I haven't had time to take in all this. This is coming all too fast so... just back off. Just," I breathed in just to relax myself, "let me be alone."

Like a coward I didn't look at him and just shut the door, and locked it. I stared at the doorknob just to see if he would try to open it. But he didn't. Was he giving me space? Did he really care about me enough to move his needs to the side just for me?

Sighing I walked over to the bed and nested myself inside the bed letting the blanket cover my cold body. Closing my eyes, I just wanted sleep. Just a little. I need to go back. Back to the ocean, so I... can... think.
