She's My Angel

Chapter 7

Rhett's POV 

Waking up this morning I felt totally at peace. I had never been this comfortable in all my life and it was all due to my little angel snuggled up against me. She was truly beautiful.

 I know that I have to go slower than usual when introducing her into my world but it was the hardest thing I had to do. I just wanted to touch her all the time. The only reason she has not freaked out about how weird I am around her is because she feels the mating bond. 

The mating bond is growing fast. I can feel it and I haven't even marked her and we haven't mated. 

Looking down at her, my eyes trailed up and down her body. I examined everything, taking in every detail. It wasn't my first time looking her over but this time I was closer. 

Ophelia suddenly made a little noise and opened her eyes while stretching out. 

"Hi." Her little voice was adorable making me smile. She looked nervous and shy about waking up in my arms but I just pull her closer to me. 

"Good morning Ophelia. Did you sleep well?" Along with blushing she nodded. 

"Did you?" She asked me. 

"Actually I had the best nights sleep I have ever had." Ophelia then gave me a smile that I always wanted to see. It lit up her whole face. 

But her smiling was cut short when she made a face of pain. 

Ophelia's POV 

I did sleep good. Better than most nights but now that stupid pain is coming back. My chest felt heavier, like my heart weighed a ton and was about to blow. 

Rhett looks concerned but I don't want him to worry if it's nothing. Maybe I just have had to much caffeine lately. 

"Are you okay?" I smile and nod at him but he does not looked convinced. 

"I really have to to the bathroom." I slipped fast as I could off the bed and practically ran to the bathroom. 

Shit what time is it. I have to be at Fairdale High so I can observe Mrs. Clark. Walking back out into Rhett's room, I see that he now seating up on his bed. 

"Rhett what time is it?" He grabs his phone off the nightstand to look and then replies, "9:47" 

Of course it is. I mumble a few cuss words as I start to leave his room. 

"Ophelia where you going?" I really wanted to slap him then. Does he not care about school?

"Fairdale. Did you forget? I observe Mrs. Clark." Shaking his head he stood up.

"I did not forget but I took care of it. You fell asleep late and were obviously tired so I told Mrs. Clark that we weren't coming today." He replied like it was not a big deal. 

"You what?! Rhett do you know how bad that looks? It looks like I am unreliable and am to busy ditching with her students. It is unprofessional and-" Rhett was standing in front of me and put his index finger on my lips, stopping me mid-rant. 

"She does not think bad of you she is a friend of the family. She understands. Okay?" He leans forward until our lips are less than a few centimeters apart. Nodding he takes his finger off my lips. 

I could not stand it anymore. I pushed up a little until our lips met. Then I was in heaven. 

I wanted more. So much more. I have never acted like this, always being calm and collected when in the presence of a boy but with him all those lessons on acting like a lady went right out the window. 

His hands were greedy feeling me all over. Everywhere they touch feels like it is being set on fire, making me hot. Pushing up on my butt, I end up pushed against a wall with my legs wrapped around his waist. 

"Please don't stop. Please." When he pulled back from kissing me. I urged him on. He trails kisses down my throat, giving light little bites and sucking a certain spot occasionally. If I was standing I would be a puddle on the ground. My hands were currently locked behind his neck and slightly pulling on his hair. It was like my body needed to be closer. 

With a plop I fill the mattress below me. I must be really oblivious because I did not even feel us move. 

I could feel his teeth grazing my neck, it made my knees feel weak. 

"Please Rhett." I whisper hoping he will continue this sweet torture or at least keep touching me but instead he jumps off the bed and away from me.

"I can not keep kissing you right now. You are not ready for me to continue and if we keep going at this pace I will lose control." Turning around he mumbled about taking a shower real quick, leaving me hot and bothered in his room.

After I retreated back to the guest room and took a shower, I pulled on some snug jeans and lose, floral tank-top. Putting back on the flats by the bedroom door I wore yesterday, I headed down the hall way. I had just made it out the door when the pain struck me again. 

Seriously what is wrong with me. It does not feel like its getting better. The pain was spreading to my back and hit hurt so bad. I went back into the guest room and locked the door. Going to the full body mirror I pulled off my top. 

That is when I started panicking. Right above where my heart would be, there are veins. Not like normal veins I have seen pictures of in my AP science classes. No this veins are white and thick. I had white skin but these were pure white and very noticeable. 

I started tracing the veins with my finger and wince when it stings. I turn around and look in the mirror and my eyes go wide when I see that each shoulder blade is covered in white veins. 

Oh god. 

Maybe I am imagining it. Putting on my tank top I looked back at my shoulder blades and you could see the veins, since my shirt don't cover them. 

Pulling out a top with short sleeves, I replace my tank top.  

I needed to get out of here before Rhett saw them. Grabbing my phone I text Beth to come pick me up and send her my phones location so she could use her GPS. 

I just needed to explain to Rhett why I was leaving.
