The Spirit's Obsession {Sequel to Entwined Fire} - #Wattys2016

Rollercoaster mood swings

I giggled causing Zak to smile "How can I do it when you keep laughing?"

"It tickles." I responded pressing my lips together hard.

His hand touched my tummy but I was laughing again. "Well hell you're going to have to deal with it." He chuckled and continued rubbing cream into my tummy.

Zak was between my legs as I laid on the bed taking his time with cream that I had ordered, it was suppose to reduce scarring. Fingers crossed.

"I know you had your reasons.. For keeping me at a distance but I wish you hadn't.. I could have been doing this for you every day." Zak spoke doing small circles.

"I guess I was worried." I sighing.

"About what?"

"About you not finding me attractive anymore. I guess I worried you would find me repulsive."

A frown set upon his face hard as he looked at me. "Never. There is no difference in this one and the one upon your cheek." He replied taking it in.

"Only that it's bigger... You know how I felt about that one. It took me a while to believe you actually liked me and that you weren't with me because of my face. Like through guilt. You know?"

"You thought that?" He asked making me nod.

"Yeah. Paranoid wasn't I? I didn't mean for it to sound as bad but yeah.."

"Well.. You got me wrong them." He stretched and pulled his shirt off before crawling up the bed and placing his head on my tummy.

"Hmm... I've missed this." I smiled stroking his bare back.

"Same.. You have magic fingers." He sighed. I buried them into the thickness of his hair and massaging his scalp making him smile.

After a while he took my hand in his and held it close to his face I ran my thumb pad across his face making him kiss my fingers before he fell asleep.

He was supposedly meant to be some big bad ass demon hunter. Someone had taken him and replaced him with well... I don't know. Maybe it was because we finally spent some time together?

I knew in the morning the electric would be back on and we'd go back to almost ignoring each other's company. Not that I wanted that to happen but he was so consumed in work.

I stroked his hair back causing a small sigh to leave his lips. I kissed his head and reached over blowing the small tea light out.

Pressure seemed to appear on my throat making me groan, thinking it could have been Zak with his arm thrown over me thinking it was my waist as I slept.

I opened my eyes for them to fall closed again under the heaviness of sleep.

"You disgust me." A voice growled making my eyes open.

I was met with pure rage and anger. Eyes bulging and teeth baring anger as Zak's hands squeeze my throat cutting off my oxygen fast.

"Z-z-"

"Shut the fuck up. You were right. To be paranoid. You make my skin crawl. You're disgusting."

Tears filled my eyes from fear and the harsh words leaving his mouth. I dug my nails into the backs of his hand making him yell in anger pulling them away.
