Chapter 81 - A dream of home

**Hopes pov**

It has been two days since Mr Bugatti, my father visited me. I don’t know if he’s still there or if he’s gone again..and I don’t really know if I care. I still get blood drawn but they have reduced it to one bag per day. Miss Mercedes took me to the shower the day before yesterday so I hope I get a repeat today, not because I feel dirty but more because it will be a break in the boring life I’m currently living. I’ve probably never slept as much as I do now..I understand that the lack of blood makes me tired but I also want to escape into the dream to be with Callum. My heart feels broken, as if it is bleeding, as if someone has driven a knife into it.
Luna is mostly withdrawn, she gives me strength when I need it, otherwise she stays away. We have tried to link repeatedly but the walls here stop it. I’ve asked Mercedes to go outside, to get some fresh air, but she says she can’t make that decision. I’ve tried to talk to her a little every time she visit me, thinking that if I can get her to relax..to feel safe with me, then maybe I can finally get help to get out of here. She’s very tight-lipped, but I’m not going to give up.
I’ve been thinking about what role she really has here. Mercedes is an expensive, nice car, not a cheap plastic one..yet she seems so subdued..if I had guessed, Dacia or Skoda would have been more appropriate. Could she be related to someone at the table?..Daughter maybe? That should give a high status. Mr Landrover has been pretty absent since my father left..if that’s what he did..he’s given me a few electric shocks and they’ve all been at my instigation..that’s the only fun I guess i have here..to tease him..drive him to the point where he doesn’t care who I am other than one who should learn to know her place..under his boot.
Me and Luna have to practice being able to take the shocks without being paralyzed..the last one didn’t feel as much as the previous ones so we are on the right track, Luna knows what to block, now we just have to manage to time the block, I still need to play theater so they don’t notice what we do though. After looking up at the white ceiling for what feels like an eternity, I close my eyes and imagine Great Falls..

I imagine walking towards the pack house..how everyone who sees me at first looks surprised before they get happy and come running to embrace me. Callum comes out on the stairs to see what all the fuss is about. His hair is tousled, he has dark circles under his eyes and he hasn’t used a razor while I’ve been gone. When he sees me, he blinks a few times..it’s as if what he sees doesn’t want to translate into reality in his brain. I see how his chest rises and falls in deep breaths. His dull eyes regain their luster and shines bright blue at me. He takes the stairs in two steps before a growl escapes his throat and everyone around me takes a step back. They open a path for him and he walks it. In a couple of seconds he is in front of me, he doesn’t say anything, he just takes my face in his hands and gives me a deep kiss. A kiss that contains the same desperation, longing and hunger that I feel myself.
Another type of electricity goes through my body..this one I don’t parry. I embrace it.He lifts me off the ground without our lips losing contact. I run my fingers through his hair, my nails gently scratching his neck before my palms find his spiky cheeks. Our tongues wrestle and dance with each other, we have no time for words..we have no desire for words..we only have desire for each other. He puts an arm under my legs and carries me into the pack house, up the stairs..in the corner of my eye I see Maya and Reece but they have the good sense not to disturb us..Reece puts an arm around Maya’s shoulders and pulls her in to kiss her temple..my focus is back on Callum. We are up on our floor now and he rushes to our door, kicking it open so hard it slams back and closes behind us. I don’t even think about where he is carrying me..but there is only one direction at this point..the bed. When he lays me down on, the contact between our lips is finally broken..but it is replaced by smells and familiar feelings from our room. The light rustle of the soft duvet under my back, Callum’s shoes landing on the nice wooden floor as he kicks them off.
I feel his hands searching for every button and zipper on both him and me that prevents our skin from making contact. Finally, frustration takes over and he unleashes his claws and tears everything to pieces. His breath is hot against me and I revel in the feeling of once again being taken to heights by something as simple as air from another human’s mouth. My skin reacts with goosebumps even though he leaves hot marks everywhere. He kisses, caresses, nibbles and licks every inch he passes. When he gets to my belly button, his tongue first dances in big circles around it, then they get smaller and smaller until he dips his tongue in and makes me scream with longing as my whole abdomen convulses for him. I grab his hair and push him down. His lips and tongue leave my navel and he willingly allows himself to be pushed further down. I’ve been gone so long and I realize I haven’t shaved..a rather silly thought but it hits me regardless..Callum notices it too..he runs his lips back and forth over my soft strands..he catches them between his lips and pulls gently as he grunts in approval. I feel the draft as he draws air in through his nose to smell my scent. It leaves a cold vacuum that makes me so hot and I feel my own pulse beating hard between my legs. I whine a bit..want to make him understand what I need..and he does. He parts his lips over my pussy and his tongue gives my clit a soft kiss. It circles around at the same time as he carefully sucks on the flesh around it. I want to scream with pleasure but no sound comes out..it’s like a heavy cloud stops my euphoria..
“Hope.. you need to shower now”..I frown at the inappropriate comment.. maybe I’m not super fresh but he didn’t complain a few seconds ago..
“Hope...Hope..it’s time for your shower.”
Callum’s voice starts to sound squeaky..feminine..his tongue is as if blown away and so is the warm feeling of his breath..his hands moving between my breasts and hips, gently pinching my nipples is now holding my shoulders, shaking me.
“Miss Hope! Wake up, these two men are going to follow you to the shower today!” Mercedes’ voice erased the last of Callum and I was awake..back between my four white walls.
“These two gentlemen will accompany you to the shower today.” Mercedes is at the foot of my bed. Did she pinch my toes to wake me up?..it feels like she pinched my toes.. Then who was shaking me?”
“Miss Hope..do you hear what I’m saying? Are you listening to me?” I nod and grunt a little.. can’t really formulate a word as half of me is left in the room with Callum.. My stomach throbs angrily and unsatisfied.
“Ok..ok..I’m awake!”..What do you mean the two of them are going to take me to the shower? You took me there last? Why should two men follow me? Feelings of panic begin to rise within me..they are faint, but they are there.
“It is by order of Mr. Landrover. I need to be available in the lab.” I see a glimmer of compassion break through her facade..she knows this is no coincidence..she knows the damn pig ordered this for a reason. I turn my gaze to the two men standing behind her..definitely some type of guerilla men..hired guns maybe?..Ex military?..Both are muscular, short cut and clean shaven. They stand with their legs wide apart and their hands behind their backs. Unlike the patriots seen in similar pictures, these have anything else but love for their motherland in their eyes..I can’t quite put my finger on what it is though, but it makes the feeling of worry in my stomach worse. Luna also reacts..she whines and growls not sure if she should be angry or scared. I stand up and look at Mercedes without saying anything. She takes out a pair of handcuffs of the more exclusive kind. I see that they match my necklace.
“I have to put these on you Hope.. since we know you can partially shift we don’t want to take any chances..even these can give you electric shocks..” She looked guilty because she had to to deliver this information.. Right now I really hope I can save her life when all hell breaks loose..which it must do..soon..
