Misconceptions

Chapter 7

Ashley's P.O.V

My lip was busted and my clothes were bloodied and tattered. I tried unlocking the door to Jason's house as quietly as I can, but apparently the door wasn't on my side.

CREEEK

Oh crap why is this door so annoying. Let me try this in a slower manner.

CREEEK

Ah fuck it. I opened the door and flinched at the annoying sound it made. Why is it that my mate had a gorgeous home and for some reason he couldn't even pay a wood guy to fix the damn door! I.will.kill.a.beast.

I closed the door slowly and looked around to make sure that no one was around. After realizing that the coast was clear, I walked up the stairs and tiptoed to a random guest bedroom so that I didn't have to deal with Jason's angry face. I smiled to myself at how sneaky I was....

THUMP!

Seriously!!! I couldn't even walk on my own feet without tripping on some random rug!

My thoughts halted as I looked up and was greeted with stormy grey eyes.

"Where. Have. You.Been?" Jason spoke as his teeth were clenched so tightly I thought they would actually shatter any second now.

My baby has some strong ass teeth.

Jason looked like he was about to murder a beast, and if it wasn't for this very tense and very embarrassing situation, I would have been aroused by how hot and sexy he looked.

I licked my lips as I tried forming a sentence, but my throat went dry and I was suddenly struggling to form any coherent sentence.

"Answer me now Ashley!" he seethed as angry waves were radiating out of him. He pulled me up and against the wall as his hand came down on my busted lip. "Why the hell are your lips bleeding, who the fuck did this to you!" He whispered. I felt the heat of his minty breath on my lips and instead of doing the right thing and kissing the hell out of his beautifully structured lips, I frowned and replied back with as much anger as I possibly could muster.

"Why the hell do you care huh!?" I put my hand over his wrist and held it between my hand tightly. " You are the one who is acting like a complete tool and trying to get rid of me, not even giving me the freedom to choose whether I want to leave or stay!"

"So you are not going to tell me who did this to you?" He whispered as he pulled my bottom lip between his teeth and sucked on it.

I removed my hand from his wrist and put both of my hands on his chest and tried pushing him away. "Are you even listening to me?!"

"Why are you testing me Ashley," He said, as his lips came down on my neck and started kissing slowly and gently. I breathed out as I tried to control my ragging hormones before I spoke out again.

"I'm not testing you Jason," I whispered, as I suddenly began to feel the rising passion and want that was radiating between the both of us.

He took my face between both his hands and looked at me in the eyes, his face only a breath away from my face. "Baby I'm trying really hard to do what is best, not just for me, but for the both of us. Why can't you understand that I am trying to do this because I want to protect you," he spoke as he starred at me intensely, searching my eyes, trying to decipher and figure out where my head was at. As he spoke, I starred at how his long lashes and how well they complemented his nicely shaped eyes. Why did he have to be so beautiful.

He put his forehead on mine, not breaking eye contact, as he moved his body flush against mine. "If you really want to stay, then so be it. I care for you more than you would ever know. You don't know how worried I was about you Ashley, so please lets just got to our room and we can talk about this more okay baby?"

"Okay," I whispered back, feeling my cheeks redden at the sudden closeness and intimacy of the situation.

I yelped as he put his hands underneath my legs and rapped them around his waist, carrying me back to his room. The lights were already on and I was surprised to see how everything was out of place, as if someone was having a tantrum.

He was that affected by our argument huh? Good.

He closed the door behind him and because the lights were turned on, he could finally see how bad I actually looked. A shiver ran down my spine as his eyes continued their path. They began to darken and I could see how hard he was trying to control his anger as he saw the bloody and ripped clothes I jad on me.

"Look I'm fine trust me," I spoke calmly. "I was just with one of my old friends and we were trying to get rid of a few bad dudes who were creating a hammock around town," I continued. "They weren't even wolves and this is not even my blood so there was no actual threat trust me. I do have to say we put them in their place though," I smirked, as I remembered how pathetic the men we beat up looked. Serves them right for trying to harm innocent children.

"I presume this friend of yours is a girl, no?" he asked, as he starred intensely at me waiting for a reply.

Ah shit here we go again.

"So like, why don't we sleep and talk about this tomorrow how about that?" I spoke, as I smiled at him as sweetly as I possibly could. He better not hear how hard my heart is thumping inside my chest right now. Oh dear god I swear I will start praying from now on just please let this storm pass as gently as possible.

My lips were actually starting to hurt as I continued starring at Jason and smiling, waiting for him to say something, anything.

Why the fuck is he not doing anything my lips are hurting from all this fake smiling and I need my beauty sleep dammit! This would all be resolved if I just fell unconscious. Maybe if I held in my breath long enough my wish would come true.

"Stop smiling at me like that it's creepy."
