My Demon Mate (BoyxBoy)

MDM - Monster

Phobia (Boyxboy) Part 10

 

I hurried after him, only halfway down the stairs when I could smell the enticing scents from the kitchen, wafting into my noise and awakening my hungry stomach. It was only when I had reached the last step did I see something that made my blood boil.

Devon was flirting with my mate.

At first I’m sure it would just seem like they were chatting but then he started winking and making dirty jokes which caused a few giggles to erupt from Luke’s mouth and I felt my skin prickling. But I absolutely snapped when his arm dropped on top of Luke’s.

I felt my hands clench into fists that I wished I could just use to pound his face in – in fact, why not? I stomped over their ignoring Drew’s worried look and zeroed in on the two unsuspecting figures.

Then I smashed in his face, right in front of an appalled and probably traumatized Luke.

“Ashton!” Drew yelled, half embarrassed and half livid at my actions. At the same time, Devon’s chair clattered as he fell to the floor in pain - “MY NOSE!” He shrieked, blood dripping through the gaps his his fingers. I laughed dryly, “You’re lucky it’s just your nose,” I sneered before I was harshly yanked away and to Drew’s side.

In the meantime Bella had come in from nowhere and took a babbling Luke away somewhere, probably trying to calm him as he seemed to be breathing erratically. I tried to follow him of course but I was once again restricted by an arm that was wrapped tightly around mine.

“What do you think you are doing?!” He hissed; standing so close to me I could practically hear his heart pounding. Not backing down I stepped even closer so we were chest to chest and glared back. “Stopping your brother,” I jabbed an accusing finger at his chest. “From flirting with our mate,” I defended myself.

“He wasn’t flirting with him Ashton; he was simply getting to know him!”

“Then why did he have his arm over Luke’s?”

“Because it just so happened to drop there once for a second, why are acting like this for?! You should know not to get jealous over something this petty especially if it’s Devon, it meant nothing!”

I stopped then, pausing to recollect my thoughts. Why was I acting like this – jealousy? Seeing them even touching seemed to set off something at me that wanted to lock him away so nobody could touch him.

My eyes widened suddenly, is this how Drew felt when Devon flirted with me? Of course not so jealous since he knew that Devon was like that anyway but still....I was suddenly painfully aware of the situation I had landed myself in,  I just wanted to dig a deep whole and hide in it.

I had punched Devon on the nose – though he would probably be able to hear himself, ruined every body’s morning, ruined Drew’s attempt at an apology breakfast and ruined Luke’s image of me. H probably thought I was some sort of temperamental bastard right now; I wouldn’t be surprised if he acted cold towards me now or at least held a grudge or something.

Drew’s arms suddenly slackened its hold on my own and he stepped a little backwards to see my face. “Ashton?” I sniffled and was then able to feel the tears running down my hot face, leaving small path in its wake, I stifled a sob and wrapped my arm around me, another going to my mouth to compress the sound of my heart being shredded inside me.

“Ashton!” This time his voice was more firm rather than a feeble worried voice like before, he tied to pull me in for a hug as he could see I was in n fit state to fight with him anymore but I yelped and ran. I didn’t want him to touch me and make up – I didn’t deserve it.

I ran past him and his voice calling me back as I scrambled frantically through the corridor in my attempt to get out of this house. I felt like I was suffocating, couldn’t think straight, I couldn’t breathe! I panted as I raced through the huge house; momentarily stopping when I went passed the living room door and heard movements in there.

Luke was in there!

I completely forgot about everything that had just happened and relaxed my mind unintentionally just at the thought of him, as my hand reached for the door knob to open it. I peeked in to see what they were doing but something inside me told e not to go in just yet... I guiltily began listening in to their conversation and you have no idea how much I wish I hadn’t after.

“Luke, you now he was just mad, it was just a onetime thing! He could never hurt you or Drew – you’re mates for god’s sake!” Bella’s soft voice now seemed strained and tired as I saw her run her hand through her messy scarlet hair. Luke just sniffled and finally looked up from his lap where he was seated, his blue eyes shimmering with unshed tears. Were they talking about me?

“But he hit Devon, and he’s known Devon longer – it makes sense for him to hit me...” Oh my god they were...did Luke really think I could lay a finger on him in any other way but a pleasurable way and not die inside a little because of it? I thought we had cleared that up, but apparently not.

Luke’s eyes unexpectedly flickered to the door where I was standing and I could see him cringe and hear him whimper in fear. Confused, Bella turned around and her eyes widened as she saw me standing there, her eyes pleading with me to stay calm but I couldn’t. I seriously needed to get out of here and stop putting myself in these situations – I know they’ll only ever hurt me and I’ll never get anything back but I just want to take that risk in hopes of a better time.

I ignored them both and blanked them out, putting up and emotionless mask before slamming the door

I whipped around and tried to restart my fast pace away from here but instead slammed into Drew’s defined body. He was panting as if he had run for miles while his eyes seemed to scream ‘Finally’! I cringed and backed away slowly, luckily for me I was just in front of the front door.

“Stop, wait, we can talk this out...” he pleaded, trying to make a sneaky move and hold me back. I squeezed my eyes and shook my head, moving faster now. “I don’t want to.”

Then I left.....for good.
