HIS (BXB) [REWITTEN VERSION] SLOW UPDATES

Chapter 4

Ainsley!!!

  My heated glare falters as Hunter continues to invade my personal space. "No we don't!" I growl! We have nothing to talk about." I insist, pulling away from his hand still on my shoulder. "I don't even know you!" That only seems to make him more determined as he takes another step forward. "I SAID," I hiss through clenched teeth "Leave Me Alone!"

  Of course he doesn't listen, as always it's just my luck that he isn't being influenced by my Charm Speak. Ever since I became aware of my 'gifts' I know if I want to, I can make people do what I want. Human and non-human alike. Sadly it doesn't seem to work on Hunter.

  I freeze as he tucks his face in the crook of my neck, skimming his nose along the column of my neck. The shocked gasps tell me that this isn't normal behaviour for Hunter at all. Wide eyed, I stare at him as he comes back up to eye level. "Like I said, we need to talk." His voice is low, husky and I feel the Charm Speak subtly woven in the words. My body struggles as I fight off the effects of the Charm Speak. How dare he think he can use that on me of all people!

  He hides his surprise as I manage to shake off the effects of his Charm Speak. That aside, his eyes still bore into mine, hypnotizing me with just looking at me. Biting my lip hard enough so that I taste the iron of my blood, I pull myself out of his bottomless gaze. "You're a stubborn one." He murmurs approvingly. "This will be interesting." My heart does the stuttering and flipping thing again as he unleashes an unabashed smile in my direction.

  Taking advantage of my dazed state, he tugs me along the now crowded corridor. "HEY!" I demand as I manage to take repossession of my wrist. Still, my body follows him even though he is no longer hauls me along. My feet place themselves in front of each other, no matter how hard I resist the pull he has created with his Charm Speak.

  I am not as immune to Charm Speak as I thought I was as I am still trailing after Hunter without a clue where he is taking me and why. "Where are you taking me?" The invocation doesn't come out as strong as I want it to. It comes out as a weak whisper instead of a command like I intended it to be. Turning his smoldering eyes on me and I nearly lose my sanity and will to not cave in. "I won't stand for this." My voice squeaks as I shiver as his eyes swil with some type of emotion I don't want to identify.

  He is obviously more experienced in Charm Speak, but as we walk across the walkway between two buildings and a light breeze ruffles my hair and clothes, I feel the grip of his Charm Speak lessen. "This is far enough." My voice is soft but it sounds a lot stronger already, more like myself. "We can talk here." As long as we are not in an enclosed space, I should be able to stand my ground with whatever it is he wants to throw at me.

  He leans casually against one of the pillars, arms folded and his ankles crossed. "I just hope you don't make a scene out of what I am going to tell you." I scoff at the mere mention of me making a scene of whatever he has to say. Motioning my hand for him to start talking, I just want to get this over with already. I just know this is going to bad, and my gut clenches as he shifts his stance slightly.

  "Whatever crush you have on me, it's not going to work." The words leave his lips quite casual, yet I can't respond at all. I stand there frozen and mouth hanging open in shock. "I know this must be hard," He places a hand on my shoulder as I manage to close my mouth with an audible click. "But we are never going to work."

  "You arrogant asshole!" I roar in rage at his retreating back, body quaking with restraining anger. "I don't have a crush on you, you bastard!" His eyes glow as he turns back to me, quick steps and his in my face.

  "Then why the drawing of me?" He challenges, looking triumphant.

  Gnashing my teeth as I want to smack him in the face, preferably with my fist, I take a deep breath. Doing so I unintentionally breath in his alluring scent which clouds my thought process for a few seconds. "The reason I drew that picture of you has nothing to do with me having a crush on you! Something like that will never happen! Even if we were last two on the planet, I wouldn't crush on you! Don't get ahead of yourself you smug bastard!"
