Born of Ice

Chapter Eight

   She felt as if her head was in a vice with the squeezing pressure at her temples. As she gained consciousness she felt the pain taking over with every second she was awake. She prayed for the dark void she was coming out of, remembering that when she was in it she hadn't felt the pain wracking her body. She heard a faint rumble of a man's voice talking and a woman's voice answering as her body began to tremble. She felt someone hold onto her hand, rubbing their thumb back and forth against it as the talking continued. Why did everything seem so far away? She felt a cooling sensation moving up her arm offering relief to the endless pain moving in waves throughout her body. The darkness came back for her as the sensation hit her heart and she went blissfully back into it with a willingness as if she were feeding.
   Eric sat in a chair next to Tisha's bed, rubbing his thumb back and forth against her hand as he felt the waves of pain running through her. Bonding was hell on earth as far as he was concerned. He wasn't going to be able to prolong the bonding much longer as he felt the waves of pain even through her drug induced sleep. He was hesitant to complete the bonding even knowing it would end her suffering. What if she didn't want to be bonded to him? She would be tied to him for eternity if he completed the bonding and he didn't want her to hate him for it. He was lost in his thoughts for awhile before he felt her coming to again. She let a groan slip her lips as her consciousness returned in full force. He held her hand as her eyes slowly opened to peer around her. She locked eyes with him, her voice coming out as a hoarse whisper.
"What is happening to me?"
"It's the bonding. We have kept you sedated for a little while but I needed to talk to you before we decided what to do about it. We can complete the bonding which will end the pain once it is done or we can continue to sedate you and I will leave which will slowly end the bonding as the bond weakens. If we come in contact again it will return. The choice is yours, just know if you choose to complete the bonding there is no taking it back."
"I want.. I want to complete the bonding."
"Are you sure of this?"
   She nodded her head as she peered at him. He felt as if a weight had been lifted from his chest as he stood slowly to walk over to the door. He dipped out for only a moment before clicking the door closed and locking it. He shut machines off and unhooked her from the wires that were monitoring her. She watched as something sparked inside of him as he worked. With a final nod to encourage him, she watched with heated eyes as he stripped his shirt off and climbed onto the bed she was laying in. He held himself over top of her giving her one last chance to change her mind. With an unsteady hand, she reached up to grab a handful of his hair to pull his face down to hers. As their lips melded together, she heard a growl rumble from his chest as heat began to emanate from him. She felt the hospital gown get pulled from her as his rough hands began to roam freely. She felt his body begin to vibrate as his hand dipped lower, finding her core with his fingers. He broke the kiss to move lower, his tongue running down her neck, his teeth nipping as he went. Her body began to hum with the attention he was giving her. As his fingers entered, he bit down on her breast causing her to arch up off the bed as stars burst in front of her eyes.
   She felt him draw on her breast as his fingers worked her. His fingers withdrew as he licked the twin holes closed as she shuddered. She vaguely heard a zipper and fabric moving before his face appeared back into her view. He melded their lips together as he wedged himself between her thighs. With a groan, he entered her. He lifted his head up as he began a slow pace. His head dropped again, burying it at her throat as his body vibrated with restraint as he continued his slow pace. She turned her head over, seeing the pounding pulse at his throat. She licked her lips as her body arched into his. She shifted as they went and latched onto his throat with a feminine growl. His body jerked and began to pick up the pace as she fed from his throat. As she licked her bite closed, he growled at the snap of his restraint. The pace was merciless as he pistoned in and out. She felt the wave building to dangerous heights. He was beginning to pant as his body hummed with his anticipated release. He let a roar loose as they found release within minutes of each other. Her soft mewling cries of release slowly died down as he collapsed with her, rolling onto his side pulling her against him as they lost consciousness together. Her last thoughts being how she no longer felt the pain that had been wracking her body.
