Her Son Kaden

25| Tub of Lies

This song was stuck in my head (mainly the chorus) when I wrote this. "Bed of Lies" by Nicki Minaj ft. Skylar Grey

I made my way toward the bed as Kaden slammed the door shut. He took off his suit and practicality tore off his tie while doing so. He was left in a nice white shirt that I now noticed had a few splotches of Axel's blood staining it.

He frowned at me and linked his hands behind his head. His eyes closed briefly. I think he was trying to calm himself.

"What can he make you feel that I can't?!" Kaden exploded at me after a minute, causing me to jump, and began pacing around our room. His face was reddened by rage and his nostrils flared.

I sat on the bed and glared at him.

"What can that fleabag mutt make you feel?!" Kaden growled and tossed a lamp of all things toward me and I ducked as it shattered against the wall. I looked at him in shock. My temper rocketed.

"Loved! He actually shows me love!" I yelled.

Kaden snapped his head to me and looked me over with a frown.

"He's not your mate, I am! His damn feelings shouldn't matter to you! His lips shouldn't have been against yours! His body shouldn't have touched yours!" Kaden bellowed and stalked over to the bed and pulled me up so I was standing in front of him.

Without a word he gripped my wrist and pulled me toward the bathroom. He flung open the door and tugged me inside only to shut us both in together.

He pushed me up against the bathroom door with one arm and his free hand grabbed my jaw before he smushed and toyed my lips with his fingers.

"Only I can touch or kiss your lips." He snarled and his hands then were both gripping my waist. With a growl he pulled me from the door and turned me in front of the mirror so I could see my reflection.

He studied me his eyes dark. Then without a word he ripped away my dress and left me only in my undergarments... which happened to be very showing. I yelped softly and he only growled and pointed to my reflection. I tried to cover myself, but he swatted my hands away. He held my shoulders.

"All of that belongs to me. I'm the only one who will ever touch you again, do you understand? Only me! You are my mate. Not his. Not anyone else's. Mine." Kaden growled and let me go.

I looked at the ground too confused and overwhelmed to meet his gaze. He stepped away from me and huffed.

I heard the water beginning to run. It seemed he'd started the water for a bath; I looked up in surprise.

"Get in. You reek of that mutt." He ordered and for a moment I was about to protest, but the look he gave me silenced my words. I glanced at his still bloody hands and grimaced.

I slunk passed him and he growled and started adding stuff to the bath water and soon it was full of bubbles. I looked from him to the tub and back.

"I'm not leaving this room. Now strip and get in the goddam tub or I'll force you in there, and you wouldn't like that sweetheart." Kaden growled and I gulped and hurriedly undressed and hopped in the water. I sat low so the bubbles covered me. Thankfully the water wasn't too hot, no, it was a calming warm.

He turned and soon the sink was running water and then it stopped. My mate turned back around with cleaned hands and I inwardly sighed.

Kaden's eyes were a bit darker as I looked at him again and my heart jumped as he crouched beside the tub. I eyed him suspiciously as he grabbed a towel and soap.
