Forbidden Fruit

Sinisa opened her eyes when she felt movement, Knight must be awake. She watched him as he glanced at her, then got up. It took him a few minutes to gather most of his leather's and sit down.

"You're not going to shove that in my face again, are you?" Sinisa commented from beneath her cloak of fur as Knight struggled to tie his bracer in place properly. He stopped and looked directly at the pile of fur on the bed.

"The last time I asked for your assistance..." Knight just stopped and turned away from her. When he reached down to pull his bracer tie, he heard Sinisa move behind him.

"You did not ask, last time." Knight felt her hand on his arm and he looked at it. He turned his wrist toward's her, but he kept his eye's low. "You really have not done this before, have you?" Knight just hissed and turned his face away as she pulled the tie's of his bracer tight. "If that is true? There is something you should know then." Sinisa took his other arm in her hand.

"What?"Knight finally looked at her, his irritation plainly evident on his face.

"I was also untouched, when I meant you." Sinisa whimpered. She tried to focus on the tie's. Knights demeanor suddenly changed, he expected an insult, not a confession form her. He examined her closely, as she pulled the last tie tight and released his hand carefully.

"There is another in your mind. A human boy... before our time." Knight tried to understand. Even when he first took her flesh, her mind turned to thoughts of that boy. He had assumed, she had known his touch, until she started to laugh hysterically. "I don't understand? What is so amusing?"

"Reading my mind is not as useful as it seem's. Johab was more innocent then I was, he would never. He hardly had the courage too kiss me." Sinisa giggled a bit then smiled at Knight. Her amusement drove his irritation over the edge. This was not something he found any amusement in at all. His mind started to burn, with his own painful past.

"You have no ideal how it is for Wraith." Knight snarled as he got up."To be rejected by a Queen... to know not even a single comfort." A pale skin fist slammed against the table and Sinisa backed away slowly.

"I just meant, it is not as embarrassing as you think. I..."

"You should not presume, to know what I think." Knight glared coldly at her and Sinisa backed into the wall behind her. Knight walked toward's her like a predator and Sinisa started to tremble.

"I meant no offense." Sinisa declared. Knight was over her in an instant and she cringed at his breath on her flesh.

"I am well aware of the mental game's female's play. You are nothing more then a moments weakness to me." Knight's growl was threatening and Sinisa tried hard to contain her fear. She honestly thought the angry Wraith might kill her and suddenly, she did not want to die. When a tear fell down her cheek she felt Knights claw gently touch it.

"Wait here." The tone's of his voice where calm, but Sinisa did not dare look. Even when she heard his foot steps move a crossed the room. She stayed still, her back pressed against the wall. When Knight looked back at her from the door she had not moved a single inch. Knight started to realize his mistake. She truly did mean no offense by her word's. Her declaration of innocents, might not have been an attempt at manipulation like he had originally thought. Unfortunately, any attempt to fix his mistake might only escalate the situation, so he left quietly.

Knight stopped just inside the doorway to his quarters. The sound Sinisa made was mesmerizing. She obviously did not hear him enter since her back was toward's the door. The Wraith tried hard not to disturb her once he was inside the room.
