Chapter 8:

Ryder's lips are rough against mine. Trying to force them open and show his dominance by inserting his tongue into my mouth. I let him. The electric shocks that run through me when his tongue runs along the side of mine, I feel like I've been struck by lightning.

I don't know whether I should move or not. Maybe if I acknowledge what he's doing he'll stop, and I'm enjoying what he's doing. He's expressing something for me that I didn't think he felt.

His arm is tight around my waist holding me into him almost forcing me to react and kiss him back, to battle my tongue with his. I feel his claws extended and they sink lightly into my skin forcing me further but he's holding himself back so he doesn't hurt me.

When the pressure in my stomach gets to be unbearable I finally move my lips with his. They move together and his hips grind against mine again. He even grunts lowly in his throat.

"Ry, I swe..." Maxon's voice is angry as he pulls the doors open.

Ryder pulls off me and moves quicker than I ever seen him to stand a couple meters away from me. Maxon seems to have forgotten what he originally came in here for, which is Ryder, who is visibly shaking as he runs his hands up over his face to lock into his hair.

Maxon moves just as fast to stand in front of me. His hands come down on my shoulders and Ryder growls but Maxon surprises me more by growling back at him. His fingers continue to move up and over my neck, pressing them down to check my pulse.

"Will he be alright?" My eyes have been watching Ryder the entire time.

Maxon chances a look over his shoulder at his king pacing back and forth in front of the door. He's watching me and after what just happened it's making me uncomfortable. His claws are fully extended now but he has his arms crossed to hide them but I can see that his eyes are shifting between a deep black and their regular hazel.

"You've worked him up, but he should be fine." Maxon says releasing his hold on me and Ryder relaxes his shaking stopping at the same time. "Just don't leave the suite, ok. Ry has some stuff he has to figure out and we need to keep you safe."

Maxon leaves after that and I met Ryder's eyes for a second before he tenses, following behind Maxon. I can still see them through the open doors and I can witness the closeness of their friendship. I jump when Ryder punches the wall and a bit of the wood panelling splinters. Maxon pulls him back and down the hallway talking to him about something.

The tall blonde wolf is watching me. It's Reynolds. He tilts his head in sympathy before he nudges the door closed with it and I'm left alone in the room with my thoughts.

It takes no longer than a couple of seconds for me to drop down on to the floor my hands coming up to cover my eyes, the tears falling out to soak in the bandages still wrapped around them. Not too long later Ellie's hands are wrapped around my wrist and she's pulling my hands away from my face.

"Hey, come on." Her voice is soft as she lifts me up from crumpled position on the floor. "Showering always helps with high stress levels and it'll keep the skin around your wound clean as well. Just don't put direct water pressure on it or soap."

Ellie's surprised when I allow her to help me in the bathroom. Before I was scared of being naked in front of her but I'm becoming more comfortable. My minds in a haze from how I reacted to what Ryder did and what he actually did.

All Ellie does is help me get undressed and she shows more concern when I wince as she pulls my shirt up over my head. When the bandages are gone from around my waist and hands I feel much more relaxed and Ellie seems to notice it as she helps me out of my jeans leaving me in privacy after that.
