      "Usually when they say in clichè books about boys literally climbing through windows, they don't actually mean it!" I scream at the hooded-boy that is hanging from my window.

      He rolls his eyes at me as I make my way over to the window. Unclasping it and opening it wide enough for him to climb through.

      "Dude! Why are you here!" I shout at him,
Ltrying to cover my semi-nude body. After all, I only had on a white bra and sports leggings - I was half-way through putting clothes on after my shower when the dark-haired boy so rudely interrupted me.

      Hunter stood next to my window, his eyes completely black.

      His hand was twitching as he trying to keep control of it, something was wrong. His face and neck were covered in dark veins as if he was trying to resist something. What was he trying to resist?

     The voice in the back of my head answered that question - for I already knew. You Cecelia, he's trying to resist you.

     Hunter looked up from the ground and slowly made his way towards me, backing me up against the wall with nowhere to run. His body towering over me as I didn't stand chance against his height.

     He very quickly brought both hands up to either sides of my head and slammed them into the wall. Causing it to shake and my breathing to stop. I swallowed hard.

    I should've been afraid. Should've.

      "Hunter...w-what is it." I stuttered, breathing in heavily at how close his face was to mine. It was uncomfortably close, he was a stranger to me. Someone that I barely knew, but yet - was so attracted to in every way possible.

     Hunter swallowed hard, and looked me in the eyes with his pitch-black ones. "Y-you can't leave me." He spoke, his voice disorientated.

      I narrowed my eyes at him, confused as to what he was talking about. " y-you can't, I won't be alone...I need to protect you." He stuttered, careful with what he said. His arms were shaking beside me.

      He released a heavy sigh as the anger in him seemed to cool down." You.... you're going back." Hunter spoke lightly, the hurt showing clear as day.

     "You don't understand how hard it is." He spoke heavily, his hands now crushed into fists as his anger returned. I stared at him with watery eyes.

      "H-how hard what is?" I asked as confidently as I could, obviously struggling with my own voice.

      "How hard it is..." he started, but stopped as he clenched his jaw tightly together as he averted his eyes to my bra. "H-how hard it is not to take you right here, right in this very room and mate with you."

       "To make you mine and only mine for the rest of our silly lives together, y-you smell so good and I'm starting to loose control-l, Cece if you don't run n-now I'll do something you'll r-regret." He struggled, pushing himself off of me and giving me enough time to escape.

     But I didn't budge.

     Instead I placed both of my hands at the side of his face. Cupping his sharp jaw as I ran my fingers over his sharp cheekbones.
