I woke up with a familiar metallic taste in my mouth. 'Blood.' That one word kept repeating in my head until everything came back to me. Dark snapped and I though he was going to kill me. Obviously he didn't since I was now awake, but I could recall him snapping my neck in vivid detail. Perhaps it all occurred in my head. Maybe he inflicted this pain on me in my brain but not physically. I tried to sit up, but I was gently pushed back down onto the soft mattress.

"Stay still. Let me take care of you."

I stared up into Dark's chocolatey eyes. He might not have been angry, but I sure as hell was. "Why should I?" I spat. "You're the one that hurt me in the first place!"

"I know, (First name), and I'm sorry. So please let me make it up to you." I could see the feeling of regret dancing around in his eyes and hear it in his voice.

"You can make it up to me by getting away from me."

"No, (First name). Let me take care of you." Dark's tanned hand pushed my (hair color) hair away from my face. My fist suddenly connected with his jaw.

'Fuck that hurt!' I held my first in my good hand, gritting my teeth.

"Why the fuck (First name)?!" His now black eyes burned into my soul. I watched as his chest slowly rose and lowered in a steady rhythm. Dark was trying to calm himself down. "Okay. You know what? I deserved that. Did you hurt your hand? Here let me see it."

Before I could refuse, he was holding my fist in his hand, his slender fingers trailing over my knuckles. Dark was pressing on my hand in a careful manner, like he was trying to prevent causing me more harm than he already has. "It should be fine. Your hand will probably bruise, but the pain should be gone soon." Dark kissed my hand before letting go.

Dark's gentle mannerism calmed me down. I'm surprised he didn't hit me or knock me out when I punched him. I guess I should swallow my pride and apologize. "I'm sorry for hitting you, Dark." I drew in a shaky breath. "I was just angry."

"It's okay, kitten. Like I said before, I deserved it." Dark's eyes flashed black for a moment, before quickly returning to their normal color. "Just don't let it happen again."
