After talking with Gideon and waiting for a while for Mikhail to return I must have passed out in the chair because the next thing I know I feel my body being jostled around slightly. I open my eyes a little to see that I’m looking up into Mikhail’s face as he carries me in his arm towards the bedroom. I closed my eyes again and snuggle in deeper to the feeling of his chest. His arms tighten on me slightly as if to bring me closer as I was trying to get to him. He walks over to the bed and sits down while still holding me in his arms. He pulls me up a bit so my head is near his shoulder and he lowers his face into my shoulder letting out a sigh of relief. That sound made me frown a bit with concern, wondering what could be troubling him so much. 

“Is something wrong?” I whisper to him in a slightly sleepy voice. 

“It’s nothing you need to concern yourself with mate.” He says skirting around whatever it is, “I just missed you.” I smile a little at that but I know inside even if he did miss me something else is clearly on his mind but he doesn’t want to tell me. Hurt grips in heart to think that he might not trust me still? Will he ever trust me enough to tell me things or will there always be this wall between us? That thought makes my wolf whimper and my body cuddles deeper into him as if trying to break through it. It’s hard knowing that in the short time I’ve known him he’s been able to dig his claws into me so deep. This whole mate bond was new to me and all I knew about was what I could remember from when I was a young girl and seeing my parents. Actually experiencing it for myself was a completely different story. It’ like heaven and hell all rolled up into one.

He nuzzled his face into my neck and little tingles raced through me effectively waking me up. His tongue licked his mark on my neck and let out a tiny moan my body shuddering in his hold. I felt his smile against my skin as if he enjoy how my body responded to his touch, “You taste so sweet Elena.” He whispers in a husky voice to me, “Mmm—My sweet Elena” He purrs as he starts leaving gently kisses on my neck.  Heat races through my veins and ignites a tiny fire inside of me. Suddenly feeling a little nervous I push myself away from him creating a tiny space between us hoping it will help me to think straight . I look up and see him looking down at me with a sexy smirk and my breath catches in my chest. 

His eyes search my face and then he pulls me back into him pressing his lips into mine in a hot kiss that make me moan into his mouth. He bites onto my lower lip and it stings for a second but when his tongue slide over it I forget about it. His tongue slides into my mouth and I’m surprised by the invasion and unsure what I should do. This is the first time anyone has ever kissed me like this. His tongue seems to be plundering my mouth and when I hesitantly meet it with mine it seems to please him because he let out a deep provocative growl that send shivers through my body. Soon I’m straddling him on the bed our bodies pressed intimately against each other. 

His hand move down my waist and then to my butt where he grips me tightly and then grinds me into him. I pull back from the kiss with a loud moan over the sensation he is sending through my body and this time I can’t blame it on the blood. He is placing kisses down my jaws and to my neck as I dig my nails into the flesh of his shoulders, my body trembling from his attack. His hands slight back up from my butt and are somehow under the shirt I’m wearing. His hands slowly running up my back makes me bite my lip from the intensity of feelings surging through me. I want him to stop but at the same time I need him to keep going. 

I pull back a little breaking away from his assault to look at him. His eyes meet mine and they are glowing bright red again as they had been earlier. They aren’t angry as they had been before this time they are full of fiery lust. I stare into them and then bring on of my hands up to his face lightly touching his cheek. The words come tumbling out of my mouth before I can stop them, “You’re eyes—”  

He looks up at me in confusion, “What are you talking about?” I can’t stop staring into them. They are so mesmerizing and dangerous. I can feel the fire in me getting hotter and Mikhail’s eyes narrow a little as though he’s sensing the changes in me and he gives a throaty growl as he picks me up with ease and then throws me back down onto the bed my back hitting the mattress. Mikhail get on top of me, shoving his leg between mine so our legs are intertwined. My heart is beating wildly against my chest as I stare up at him. He lowers his face into my neck and goes right to his mark and my body stiffens up. Dangerous, is the only word my mind is screaming right now. Mikhail is acting oddly and had been since he came back into the room. I brought my hands up to his chest and pushed him to try and get him to ease up a little but he let out a growl at my action that had me body stilling completely. 

“Submit to me.” He says to me and then his tongue slides across his bite. My wolf comes racing towards the surface as if he were calling her to him and I had no choice in the matter. My eyes flashed silver and the hands pressed into his chest slowly closed fisting the material. This seems to please him because he purrs into my ear as his lips press to the mark in a teasing manner. What are you doing Elena? Push him the hell away! I’m screaming at myself internally but my body wasn’t responding to my commands. Growling low in my chest I finally broke the weird hold and was able to reign in my wolf. I push against Mikhail as hard as I could but that seemed to do nothing right now. It was like his was made of solid steel or something. 

“Get off me!” I say to him feeling frustrated by whats happening and wanting some space. He doesn’t make any attempt to move off me. I feel my body giving in, “Please…” I whine. His body trembles under my hands and I can feel a strange power radiating out of him into my hands. I blink a couple times just staring down at where my hands are pressed against him. He growls as he leans his body into my touch. I look up as he pulls his head back so he can look down at me, “Just submit to me—“ His red eyes flashing and his voice sounding a bit tense. My wolf races towards the surface again my eyes turning silver and my canines lengthening. I growled up at him and his words. I wasn’t just going to submit to him all willy nilly. If he wanted that then he was going to have to earn it, not force it. 

I quickly brought my knee up smashing it into him. His eyes closed and his body tensed up in pain. I quickly used the distraction and pushed him off of me. He fell onto his back hold himself. I jumped on top of him grabbing a hold of his shirt and lift him up a bit with my strength. His eyes snapped open and he glared up at me but I wasn’t going to be intimidated by him. I open my mouth and let out a roar into his face, challenging him. 

“What do I look like to you? Some weak wolf that will just fall in line?” I growl low and vicious in my chest, “You want my submission so badly than you’re going to have to earn it because you won’t get it any other way.” I slam his body into the mattress, “Let this be a lessoned learned baby.” I say relaxing a bit and slapping him lightly on his cheek as I watched his eyes fade back into there usual broody blue. I peeled myself off of him and walked across the room toward the bathroom closing and locking the door behind me. I let out a shaky breath and let my body collapse to the ground. I had no idea what that was back there but something is seriously going on and I need to figure it out, quickly.
