When Darkness Calls

Towls

"I want a different room." I stated once again.

"And I said no. Now get into the bed. unless you want to stand there all night like an idiot." He rolled his eyes at me.

I huffed, crossing my arms over my chest as i turned to walk away.

"Where do you think your going?" He groaned.

I'd been purposefully being more then a handful all day since we got back here. In hopes that he would get sick of me.

"I'm going for a walk." I snapped.

"First of all no. and who takes walks at 11:00?" I heard him stand and walk around the bed.

"I do, and I will." I reached for the door handle but was quickly pulled backwards.

"Your getting on my last nerves babe." He suddenly threw me over his shoulder and was walking back across the room.

"Put me down"! I squirmed then resorted to kicking him in the stomach, using his shoulder as a step and leapt for the door.

I reached it and swung it open with force before quickly slamming it closed again.

He pounded on the door.

"Open Blake! Dammit or I swear ill rip it off the hinges"!

"Shush"! I hushed him. "Your gonna wake the whole house!" I tsked him.

"Blake." he growled.

"I'm going for a walk." I said as I began to walk down the hall.

But soon he was by my side keeping pace with me.

"Im going with." He muttered.

I stayed quiet as we walked down the stairs, I tip-toed but he didn't even bother, and cringed everytime I heard someone mutter a curse word behind their door as we passed.

When we got outside to the edge of the treeline he glanced me before taking his shirt over his head.

"What are you doing"! I asked baffled as I watched his muscles ripple as his arms were above his head. His V-line and abs were quite defined, and when I looked up he was smirking.

"I like this shirt and I ain't ruining it". he pointed out like I was stupid.

"Oh woah now-" I said in realization. "I'm not shifting. when I said walk I meant walk." I turned to walk along the edge of the trees.

"Why not walk on all fours huh?" He caught up to me.

"Let it go." i warned.

"No way. You know, that night, you know before I burned your pack house down", he chuckled but I didn't look at him, "I asked around, no ones ever seen your wolf, whys that?"

I stayed quiet.

"And earlier, you were fighting your shift to, what's up with that?" He quizzed. "Is there something wrong with it"? The questions were innocent enough, but the way he said a them, as if he was mocking me.

"Damon I swear to goddess, drop it." I snapped.

"Eventually I'll know, so you might as well-"

"Damon!" I growled.

"Fine fine, since you won't answer me that, what's with you and Aspen"? He stopped me and forced me to face him.

"None of your damn business." I again crossed my arms over my chest.

"Oh but babe, it is very much my business." He narrowed his eyes. "Sum it up. Now."

I stayed quiet for a few moments, thinking that the reason I wanted a walk was to clear my head, time away from him. Since I haven't had a moment to actually process the last 2 days on my own, without someone expecting me to be strong about it.
