The Magi Hunter (Editing)

Chapter 7 - Caged

Previsouly in The Magi Hunter:

"What is this?" I looked at him with a shocked expression, as he lifted his hand up to scratch his neck, something I had seen many boys do when nervous. I turned to look him in the eye, but he held my gaze nevertheless.

"A bond-mark by the Moon goddess."

"Which means?" I raised one eyebrow, seeing no logic in what he was saying.

"It's a mate mark, which appears when your mate has bit you."

"I don't have a mate, darling." I looked at him, a smile appearing on my lips, at the verge of letting out a laugh.

"Yes, you do. The moon goddess has decided so."

I shook my head, not believing a word he was saying.

"And who would that be?" I asked jokingly.

He looked angry at me now, his eyes not leaving mine as he stepped closer to me. Placing one hand on each side of my head, caging me between him and the wall. My smile faltered as I felt the tension build up between us, and the urge to touch him got stronger as he spoke the words.

"Me."

"You?" I looked doubtingly over at him, but I still felt the nervousness deep into my bones.

"Yes, me." His voice got darker, and he pressed his body closer to mine.

"You're kidding right? You want to kill me! I heard so myself. Is this some kind of sick plan to capture me and torture me?" Despite the fact that I was pressed between the wall and him like ham in a sandwich, I took my face closer to his, looking him in the eye as I said so.

"How can you say that?! You have clearly felt the bond yourself, and that mark on your neck is proof enough." Our faces was now only a centimeter apart, and I could hear the anger and desperation in his voice, but his eyes looked scared somehow.

"Oh, really. How come?" I said sarcastically, although I did know what he meant by that. I just wasn't ready to admit it to myself yet.

"If you weren't my mate, you would have been dead by now." A growl erupted from his chest, and I could feel the vibrations all the way through my own.

"Really now?" He raised an eyebrow at me, like asking me how I would dare to ask him something like that.
I moved slightly, making him be aware of how close we were standing. His eyes flickered back and forth from my eyes to my lips, leaning in closer. Forgetting all about the ongoing conversation between us.

"Oh? You think you could escape me?" He didn't look into my eyes anymore, as our lips was almost brushing where we stood.
Just as our lips were about to meet I turned my head, so he ended up kissing my cheek instead.
I heard him laugh into my neck, brushing air there as well, making shivers run down my spine.
'just ignore it' my mind told me. 'I've never felt this weak in my whole life, becoming weak in the knees just because one person laughed in my neck, making me shiver.

"So that's how you want it, little bird?" He whispered in my ear, his warm breath making me warm all over.
His lips trailed small kisses down my neck. Butterflies erupting in my stomach for every kiss. My knees felt weak, and I had a hard time standing straight. My breath coming out in uneven puffs, as he came closer to the place where my neck and shoulder met. Where my mark was. When he kissed it, very gently, a moan almost escaped my lips, but I managed to contain it just in time. I felt his lips curve up in a smile into my skin.
Continuing kissing my mark, he let go of my arms to hold around my waist instead, which only made my skin tingle by his touch, feeling warm all over. I was breathing heavily by now, having a hard time containing myself.
My hands went to his neck almost as if out of instinct, clutching his hair. My mind was getting foggy, like I've never felt anything like this before, I felt helpless. Weak. But despite all of this, it felt right in some weird way.

"Please..." I whispered.

"Please, what little bird?" He murmured into my skin.

"...stop."

I felt him chuckle. "Is that really what you want." By every word, I felt his lips brush over my mark, sending waves of electricity through my body each time.

"Yes." I managed to speak more steadily, and not like I was out of breath.

"So you don't want me to continue doing this?" He sucked on my mark, making a moan escape my lips for the first time.

'Yes, I want you to continue doing that'. It was getting harder to contain myself, and I knew if I didn't break loose from him now, I would probably melt into him like a puddle.

"No, I do-don't want you to con-continue doing th-that." I managed to stutter out.

He pulled away from my neck, looking me straight in the eye. Without saying a single word he leaned forward and kissed me right on the lips.
I stood there shocked for a moment, not knowing what to do or how to react. Somehow my lips began moving on their own, fitting perfectly with his, like it was mean to be.
My thoughts were no longer with me, and the little reason I had had left just a second ago was like washed away.
My hands held tighter around his neck, drawing him closer to me. I felt him relax as well, as his once very tense shoulders grew soft.
I have no idea how long we stood there tangled in each other, but at last we broke apart. My mind a complete mess, and with ragged breath.

"What did you say again?" Hailen looked into my eyes, all sparkly and full of life. His tone was playful, but even so you could hear the little challenge lying in the words.

"Nothing. Nothing at all."
