Mr. Possessive

Chapter 22.

Chapter 22.

"What did you say?" My temper boiling, but I kept my one deadly calm.

"About what?" His voice was tight but I could hear a twinge of worry in it.

His ignorance made me wanted to smack him. Hard. All the lust and happiness I felt only a moment ago disappeared.

"Turn the car around. Drop me of at my apartment."

His head snapped towards mine and clenched his jaw when he saw how angry I was.

"That's where we're going."

"No. We are going to your place. Not mine. You never asked me." I turned towards him, not being able to reign in my temper any longer. "Who the fuck gave you the permission to make this choice for me?"

"The thought of not being with you every night encouraged me make this decision. I love you Maya and I want you with me all the time." His voice might have soft and made me melt a bit but it wasn't enough to forgive hm.

"Oh buzz off Elijah. All you had to do was ask and I would have said yes. Because the thought of not being with you every night messes up my brain too."

"Really?" His hopeful voice and happiness filled eyes didn't distract me from displaying my point. Sort of.

"I'm not finished." I snapped. My mind swirled with anger and a hint of desperation that he understood where I stood with his decision. I tried to soften my voice, choosing another tactic.

"Elijah please try to understand what I'm saying. You didn't ask me. You took that decision from me." Tears well up my eyes, thinking maybe I was overreacting but my past would leave me alone. The fear always resided in the corner of my brain. Elijah is my only saving grace. My haven and I need to be able to go to him to run away from my demons.

I felt us stopping and I lifted my eyes to see the car stop sideways. Elijah's eyes drilled into me but I still couldn't look at him. Not wanting my brokenness so in the open.

"Angel look at me." I closed my eyes instead, fighting for some strength. I immediately got it as soon as I felt a hand clasp my chin, shifting my eyes towards him. As soon as my eyes met his. It was like all restrains broke free. He swooped into me, or maybe it was me who initiated it but we were on each other. Our lips on a battle and neither of us wanting it to finish.

After what felt like ages, we drifted apart and somehow I found myself of Elijah's lap. His arms tightly binding us together.

"I'm sorry" His voice breaking the silence that was only filled with our heavy breathings. His eyes told me understood and that was enough for now.

I lifted my hands and place them on his cheeks and placed my forehead on his. Need to touch him was so much.

"My need to have you overshadowed every other thought and I didn't think about how you would feel about it and I will always regret that. Angel please forgive me." The anguish in his voice made me feel like a bitch. And I was willing to fix it.

"Ask me." I said, my lips turning up in a smile. It felt right. I wanted this too.

His own lips spread in a wide smile and seeing his gorgeous smile a wishful giggle left me. "Move in with me Maya Campbell. Please?"

I reclined until my back touched the steering wheel and lifted my finger, pretending to think about it. Elijah sat there, still that devilish smile on his face. He waiting his own arms lifted behind his head looking relaxed. The bastard knew.

"Of course I will Elijah Frost. All you had to do was ask."

A sheepish look took place on his face and tensed up. "What?"
