The Brotherhood- Tempted Book 1

Layer 25

Layla woke up with a headache like she had never felt before. She rubbed her head and moaned in pain as she tried to sit up but the whole room spun.

"Ow..." She whimpered.

She laid her head back down on the pillow and looked around slowly, when she saw Malicious sitting up sleeping next to her with a book on his chest. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen, it melted her heart. She tried to sit up once more this time she got really dizzy and a shooting pain shot through her head and she let out a little whimper, loud enough to wake up Malicious. He shot up and looked right down at her.

"Are you okay?" He asked in a panic.

She smiled "My head hurts horribly."

"I'm glad your awake." He said and bit right into his wrist and put it to her mouth she tried to push it away, but her instants took over and she gripped his wrist and bit down.

Malicious was expecting it to be so much more painful than it was, but her bite was soft and elegant.

"Take all you need." He whispered as he scooted behind her so she could lay on his chest, he wondered if he touched her hair...if she would be okay with that, it looked soft he bet it was super soft. He carefully grabbed a small piece and ran it though his fingers, it was softer than he thought it would be and she didn't seem to mind at all.

After about fifteen minutes of feeding Layla licked his wrist quickening the healing process, he smiled down at her noticing how much better she looked.

"Layla keep feeding." He stated.

She pushed his hand away.

"No...I'm am done."

"Are you sure?" He asked worried.

"Yes...I fine Malicious, thank you."

"Does your head hurt?" He asked.

"Oh...Ah...No, I feel so much better actually."

"That's good...we were all worried when you passed out."

"I am so sorry...I do not know what happened, I just remember coming down stairs to get something to eat since I felt nauseated and then I got very dizzy and it all went black."

"You didn't feed Layla, why didn't you tell me you needed it so badly that you were getting that close to blood lust...you cannot let yourself cross that line or ever get that close again."

"I didn't mean to Malicious.... I haven't done this very long and I didn't think I needed it yet."

"Damn it Layla, if you need my blood just say it, I would have given it to you the second you asked!" He shouted.

"I'm sorry...I..."

"You could have gotten sick...Or attacked someone one!" He shouted as he got up and wrapped his wrist with a bandage.

"Malicious I..."

"What if we would have been down in the city with the humans...You could have killed people, Hell what if you were weak and couldn't have shimmered and Reapers were coming after you!" He yelled.

She just let him yell as the anger flooded him, but as she looked closer at him it wasn't anger as much as it was worry, but the thought of any of the bad things he was saying happed scared her, what if any of that did happen?

"YOU COULD HAVE DIED!" He finally screamed and rubbed his chest.

She smiled and got up off the bed and cupped his cheeks.

"Malicious, I'm right here, and I'm fine because of you."

He let out a heavy worried breath.

"You just had me so worried."
