Her arousal
RENEE'S POV
I stepped into the house, swinging my hips to the sound of the music drumming from my headphones.
I slipped my headphones on in the car, avoiding Renees's and Bane's conversation. Yeah, I like to avoid those lovey-dovey conversations that seem to get awkward really quick. Especially when they give each other that 'look'. You know, that 'look' that leads them in to the bedroom.
"I'm not the type to call you back tomorrow
But the way you wrappin 'round me is a prob.."
I danced into the kitchen and grabbed a spoon and my left over pint of ice cream out of the freezer.
"Ain't nobody tryna save ya. Baby, get that paper
Probably got a lot of other bitches owe you favors Pussy so good, I had to save that shit for- SHIT."
I nearly dropped my spoon from the sudden entrance. I didnt even hear the back door open up. He was standing there, staring at me.
Bane
Dear lord, save me from doing or saying or even thinking of anything stupid.
His shorts hung on to his torso just barely, giving me a view of his V line. Sweat occupied his shirtless chest, shining against his tanned soft flesh as it mazed down his abs. I couldn't help but notice the beads of sweat that clung to his hair.
He turned around to close the door shut. The tattoos on his back seemed to glisten with moisture and perspiration. Each move he made, seemed to expose another muscle. I can only imagine his strength and what he can do to me.
Dear lord, forgive me for my unholy thoughts.
He turned back around and our eyes met. A part of me wanted to look away and pretend like he wasn't here, but I just couldn't.
Say something fool I thought to myself. This is getting awkward.
"Ice cream?" I held up the pint of my strawberry cheesecake ice cream and a spoon.
Something unbelievable happened soon after.
He....smirked. I mean, its not a full smile but its close enough right? Well for me its enough, I mean come on, I was so used to the grimace looks and nonchalant faces but now it was something different.
"No." The smirk faded away as quickly as it came and the old look of carelessness returned.
"Okay."
He pulled a water bottle from the refrigerator and walked pass me, leaving behind the musky smell of him. A man smell. A smell I wouldn't mind smelling in the be-
I need help.
I took a deep breath to calm myself and walked out behind him, clearly leaving enough distance between us to avoid any thoughts of me following him.
He was beautiful, godly almost. It might seem weird, but for some reason, I wanted him. I craved him. I was turned on by him. Why?...
BANE'S POV
Why was she back here? Could she not stay at Aniyah's house? Or at least stay in the room we offered her upstairs?
After her weird stare down, I grabbed my water from the refrigerator and walked passed her. The sound of her heart rate intensified, racing inside of her like a beating drum.
I had to get away from her.
I walked out and began walking down the hall toward the staircase. My attention soon turned to the foot steps not to far behind, walking my direction as well.
I focused back on getting away from her as quickly as possible. Then it hit me like a whirlwind. Her arousal.
I stopped dead in my tracks. Her smell was like a dangerous drug, tempting to pull me in. I was desperately trying to focus on anything but that smell but it was too hard. A slight bump against my back caught me off guard.
"Shit, Im sorry." She mumbled. "I was looking down and- are you okay?"
I wanted to turn and look at her, reassuring her that I was just fine, especially without her. But I couldn't turn to look at her. I knew I would only be left with two choices if I do; either ridding of her completely by killing her, or taking her upstairs to my room and destroying her body.
Take her.
My wolf was howling for me to proceed with my second option. But I refuse.
"Um hey?"
I couldn't dare look at her. I knew my eyes were unnatural now and I couldn't introduce her into this world that way. Aniyah would kill me.
My canines extended without my complete control, it was my wolf's control. He was struggling to disregard my decision and mark her anyway. My other side never had this much control over me. This was something he wanted but I did not.
"Um hey are you cool?"
She walked around me to look at me but I pushed pass her before she could dare see me.
"Im fine." I growled.
I paced up the staircase toward my room, struggling to hold back the need to run, which would reveal my unnatural speed to her.
The windows of my room shook as I slammed my room door shut. I ran my fingers through my hair. My mind was racing and debating with the other side of me.
I refuse to take her, but he is refusing my decision.
My wolf was repeating to me that we could. We can have her. We can take care of her. We can protect her.
But no, we can not.
I refuse to take and mark a human. I refuse to make her mine. I always thought about finding my mate but the goddess has cursed me with a human mate. Fragile creatures that was always put into danger in our world.
Nothing but flesh and weak bone.
Why couldn't I have been given a she wolf?
With a she-wolf I could be sure she could protect herself and our future pups.
I could barely think because I could sense her so near.
I was desperately trying to avoid her but my wolf was looking for her. Out of all the sounds in the house, he would specifically look for her movement. Out of all the various smells, he would search for hers.
I couldn't take it.
I reached out for Alpha Bane's link and I reached him, urging to speak to him. He welcomed me to his office and I went to it.
Entering, I know he could sense my strain, my personal battle but he promised to let me handle it without any speeches or attempts to change my mind. "Alpha." I lowered my head slightly.
