Ray and I had not spoken despite the fact we had been on the road now for three hours.
We were now stuck in traffic and he clicked the radio off and looked over at me.
'You liked me and I was not just too forceful with you but a complete and utter asshole. I apologise'. Ray frowned uncomfortably, he grabbed my hand and I felt the fire emulating from his burning hot skin.
'So you thought driving me all the way to Crimson Falls would make up for your rudeness? And the fact somehow everyone knows what happened?'. I snapped my hand back and looked out the window.
He let out an exerted breath in defeat.
'My ex was not.. happy that you and I had gotten close. I do not know how she found out about it, but she did'. He grumbled.
I stared at him, feeling much angrier.
'So playing with my feelings was.. what exactly? An act to make your ex jealous?'.
I squeezed my eyes shut, as I felt my magic getting overbearing again.
I needed to calm down.. or giving Ray a little cut was the least of our problems..
He placed his hand under my chin and smiled softly at me.
'You can hurt me again if it makes you feel any better'. He offered, smiling teasingly at me.
I pushed him away sharply and glared at him.
'I am not a tool to be used, Ray. So quit it'.
He frowned at me in response.
'I did not mean what I said, I was embarrassed that you actually managed to hurt me'.
'No, everyone is right about me. I am the weakest member of the Coven and I have learnt to accept that'. I sighed.
He grabbed my hand again, despite probably being shocked by a slight bolt of lightning, in doing so.
'I only joined the Coven to get close to you, Aria.. but you never even gave me a second look'. He sighed.
I stared at him in utter disbelief.
'I still remember when we first met at Ball that the Cluster Coven had arranged a few years ago. And that thin laced jet black dress, which hung off of your little shoulders'. He chuckled softly.
'WHAT!?'. I gasped in shock.
'You refused to dance with me'. He laughed, stroking my hand slightly.
I took a deep breath and frowned again at him.
Now that I thought about it, I vaguely remembered being approached by many Warlock's from that Coven.. my father would have loved it if I had ended up getting married off to another Coven; he would no longer appear weak for keeping such a weak Witch.
I did not even look up to the Warlock's that had approached me. I had previously twisted my ankle; I had been climbing a large oak tree back home.
Despite my injury, my mother forced me to go to the stupid little gathering of our Covens.
'I was infatuated with you from that day.. but I know I will never be worthy of you'. He frowned, letting go of my hand.
Honks from the traffic lined up behind us started to begin and he resumed driving immediately.
'Ray'. I whispered, I placed my hand on his.
He sucked in a sharp breath and then slowly released it, but kept driving.
I could feel an incredible heat emanating from his palm and oddly I knew we had some kind of spark.
To avoid such awkwardness, I quickly turned the radio station back on and smiled timidly.
I swear I saw an all-knowing little smirk reach his lips.. but I also knew that I was smiling too.
As we began to get closer to the town, I stuck my head out the window in awe.
I had never seen such busy streets; people were running along with shopping bags, walking with hot beverages in flasks, people lounging around on the streets. People here looked so happy.
'Look how pretty everything is!'. I gasped, bright lights were twinkling as the sun reflected from them.
Ray simply laughed in response.
'It may be a dangerous Town but Crimson Falls is well known for their residents living life to its fullest'. He grinned at me.
'Ah here we are'. He chuckled, at my excitement.
It was not often that I had left my home without family members.. so this was such an exciting moment for me..
We stopped just outside an Apartment that was painted a pale yellow.. oddly fitting considering my lightning magic.
Both Ray and I stopped in our tracks, frowning, as a sharp forest-like scent hit our nostrils.. it was almost like the smell of burnt firewood and the smell of fresh pine.. Humans would not be able to notice how different a Werewolf's scent was but magic users did.
A male placed his hands on our shoulders and we had to pretend to be human.
'You guys must be new, my name is Braxton. You look like you could use some help moving in'. He smiled politely at us, oblivious to what we really were.
I took a deep breath, as I took in his VERY unusual appearance.
This man was clearly a Werewolf belonging to one of the local Packs.. and he was incredibly handsome.
One side of his hair was completely shaven, revealing sharp and thick tribal tattoos along where his hair should have been. The other side of his hair was long and wild curls reached just past his chest.
But what I found more breath-taking about the male was his beautiful unusual eye colour; he had one green eye and the other was white as snow.
Ray cleared his throat uncomfortably and the Werewolf seemed amused with my obvious complete attention on him.
'Aria'. I muttered, completely forgetting about my cover.
Ray stared at me in concern.. and I gulped. Why oh why was I not able to lie to this man?
'Nice to meet you Aria'. He held out his hand politely in greeting.
Thankfully my stomach saved me, as it let out a loud growl.
He raised his eyebrows at me and I let out a little laugh.
'It was nice meeting you Braxton'. I nodded.
Ray grabbed a hold of my hand and we ran inside the Apartment.
'That.. what the hell was that?'. He snapped, pushing me up against a wall.
He was scowling at me with an irritated and jealous look on his face.
'I.. do not know'. I gulped.
'You are not going to be able to do this, Aria'. He frowned.
'All that wolf did was smile and you were practically begging him to take you'. He added, unhappily.
He then grabbed my chin staring into my eyes.
'What I would give to have you look at me like that'.
I could not help but release a little giggle in response.
'What!?'. He muttered, in an annoyed tone.
'You are actually jealous'. I grinned, enjoying his emotions.
He pushed his forehead against mine and let out an unhappy sigh.
'You make it impossible to hide my emotions'. He sighed.
I suddenly felt very hot, as I realised I was still pressed up against the wall.
His lips were inches away.
'Will you kiss me again?'. I whispered, awkwardly.
He stared at me in shock.
'Are you serious?'.
'Is that a no?'. I smirked softly.
Before I could say more, his tongue hungrily assaulted mine.
His kisses were so desperate, it made my knees go weak and he picked me up, placing me onto the bed that had no sheets on it.
He unzipped the back of my dress and slid it down my body.
I blushed deeply, clutching at his arm in awkwardness, yet obvious desire.
'Ray.. I do not want to hurt you'. I whispered.
He smirked at me in reaction.
'Then relax and do not overthink it'.
It was then that his tongue began to explore my neck and then led down to my breasts.
I gulped, as I felt his warm tongue running down my waist.
'Ray'. I gasped softly, as I clutched the bed.
I then felt his breath between my legs and I could not help but cry out in shock and excitement, at the unknown feeling that I now felt.
He kept moving like this for some time and I could not help but squeeze my eyes shut, as I cried out.
My body moved on its own; I grabbed a hold of his hair and let out a loud scream, as my body jolted and spasmed against his tongue.
He then pulled back and eyed me lustfully.
'Do you want more?'.
'I do not know.. I am scared'. I frowned.
I then looked down at him and blushed profusely.
I never thought a man could be so excited, from doing that.
'I have not ever done these things before'. I whispered.
'Go and freshen up, I will start bringing your belongings in'. He smiled, suddenly ignoring his desires.
I sat up and felt guilty.
'I am sorry'. I gulped
He chuckled softly at me.
'Do not do that. I can be patient with you'.
And with that he left the room and I simply stared down at my nakedness..
So that was what it felt like to lose control? It was like unlike anything I had ever imagined.
I could not help but feel curious about what other feelings and experiences such lust could bring..
And why all of a sudden did the Werewolf's odd piercing eyes enter my mind?
Were they anything like us? Or were they completely different?
I sighed, as I imagined Braxton vividly in my mind.
