The entire setting in the room is filled with candles on the tables, walls, and floor. Look more of a ritual to me. Any wrong turns and this place would be in flames. The tablecloth had my favorite color, pink. Not to mention my favorite flower Pink Primrose a spring flower that means 'first rose' I don't know why it fascinates me so much.
My eyes begin to explore the table some more, two champagne glasses and two bottles of champagne as well as chilling in a bucket on the table.
"Happy Birthday," he whispered.
"Birthday?" I asked confused.
Oh, damn it was my birthday and I forgot, I had so many birthday's I didn't care anymore, and I still don't but at the moment I do just because he's putting in the effort to impress me. It was a show of appreciation even though I told him birthdays were not important to me.
"I'm so sorry I forgot it was my birthday," I said to him. "What kind of person forgets their birthday? I'm such bastard," I said to him. "That's why Veet gave me this necklace," I held it up to show off the simple necklace with a circle and an X in the middle spinning hanging on a black rope.
"It's okay I know you said you don't like celebrating your birthday but since it's your nineteenth. I thought why not surprise you," he said with a smile.
You have no idea how long I've been a woman, I thought to myself. Nineteen sweethearts, I'm far from it.
"Thank you it's all so… there are no words to express how I feel right now, and I love it. I just love it all," I kissed him. "I feel so special. I feel like a cougar," I laughed.
"No, you are a very erotic cougar. You're only two months older than me it isn't a big deal" he looms over me.
He had no idea how much of a relic I am. I'm a damn cougar preying on the boy like I'm really nineteen. I need to break this off before somebody says, 'I love you until my end'. That sure will be the end of him if he stays with me. Then I must watch him die while I stay youthful or I could be selfish and turn him into a vampire, but I'm sure the hunters or the King will kill him for associating himself with me either way.
As we ate and talked, laughed, and teased each other then it was time for dessert, and he came from the kitchen area with half chocolate and red velvet cake. He took me by the hand and place me in his lap both legs on either side of his thighs. He licked the icing off my lips so seductively my body heats up. I haven't had sex with him for a while and since I dated that jerk-ass werewolf Dane no one else touch has been the same.
Currently, we were in the hold of each other arms. His arm around my waist and mine around his shoulders the kiss was intimate as our lips touch. He's pulling me closer to his chest so my boobs would press onto his muscular chest. When the kiss was getting impassioned, he broke it and I let out a sound of frustration, and I open my eyes to see him with that cocky smirk on his face. There was no nervousness it was only excitement and my sexual desires were on the verge of an outburst. The feeling of his body on mine makes my nipples hard and I arch towards him giving him the signal to continue turning me on. I tune out the radio that he turned on that was now playing "Naked" by Marques Houston. One of his hands slid away from my waist and glides up to my side leaving me to quiver.
I have a feeling he wasn't going to kiss me any time soon since his hands are exploring my body. When my eyes open our eyes met and his eyes were a glossy blue filled with desires. I felt my dress zipper going down and his eyes still haven't left mine. He is such a tease even when he was filled with desires himself. He certainly hates to rush things.
He moves my dress off my breast, that was the moment his eyes left mine with a wider smile on his face. He was now cupping my breast my head falls back with a throaty moan. Then something warm and wet covers my nipple. He was making little suckling sounds. He was making my body wanton more and more with each stroke of his tongue. The teasing was becoming unbearable how his soft and moist mouth was on my peaked nipple. I needed him to be inside me but that's not going to happen he wanted me to suffer like I'd made him wait a long time and now it was my turn to mourn the tentative gratification. If I don't have him inside me by now, I will go ballistic and take what I want by dominating him.
The worst thing happens when he removes his lips from my now tender nipples and was about to kiss me when someone knocked. Ryan looked passed me and at the door frowning.
"Get the hell away from my door," he shouted.
There it goes again another knock.
"I said- "
Before he could finish that sentence, I found myself on the ground being swathed by Ryan and I heard heavy steel toe boots coming inside the cabin and I felt the mildly chilled breeze brush against my face.
"Well, well, well if it isn't my favorite girl," I heard a thump coming from the doorway. "Ah, you have a play toy too."
I held onto him and shook my head telling Ryan not to move one bit, and I stood up and zipped myself up. Ryan stood their tense and I stand up to find the son of a bitch, literally. One wrong word and he will be dead within seconds.
"Annabel darling you've been a bad girl," Dane said looking at me observantly tilting his head slightly.
I saw a tall lean muscular man wearing all black reminding me of Blade in Blade Trinity. He just blends in with the nightlife. Dark brown eyes and his tan oval face now look black in the reflection of the candles.
"That's not my name Dane. I go by Anna and why are you here and how the hell did you find me?" I asked.
"You will always be Annabel to me, and I go by Detective Dane now and you need to get rid of the pest beside you," Dane said with distaste.
"His name is Ryan and you are not answering my damn question, why the hell are you here?" I asked and please don't say for me.
"Oh, so you know the damn maniac what the hell is going on? First, he kicks down my damn door, then called you Annabel, and then announced himself as a damn cop," he said showing his anger.
"Nothing in this concern you kid, now be gone," Dane said.
"I don't care if you are a cop or not but I'm coming with her," Ryan said.
"Did I not tell you to back off," Dane said haughtily.
"Ryan, I know this man he's an old friend," I told him, and Dane's eyebrows went up.
I shot him a look that says, 'say nothing' and he had a damn smirk on his face. I walked around the table towards the door and paused sheepishly.
"Ryan, I have to go alone but I promise I'll explain everything later on but for now please go," I entreated him to go.
"I don't trust him," Ryan's eyes narrow at Dane.
"Don't worry boy I won't lay a finger on your girlfriend," Dane said as his eyes glance around the room. "Did I interrupt something," he said complacently.
"I'll be fine I'll be back in no time," I said to him.
He came over places his hands around my neck and kissed me passionately which I understood now to get my mind off Dane. He let go of me and place a kiss on my forehead.
"Call me as soon as they let you out or I'll visit you," he said giving Dane a stern look.
I'm surprised he didn't push any farther in asking me why they call me into the station.
Dane didn't look pleased with the lip-locking action in front of him, so he walked outside, oh well. I was walking outside to find his vehicle. Dane was by his BMW i8 waiting for me to get going with a pinch expression. After we both strapped in saying nothing as we drove to the station the silence bore to my very soul and I could smell his tension and anger.
Damn, he looked good with his very well tidy Side Swept with low fade side haircut. It was sexy with those gages in his ears, he got hotter over the centuries how is that even possible. I remember the night we made love to each other, no, I needed him so badly it wounded me not to have him that night. But all of it turned out to be a mistake when I woke up alone on his straw bed. I felt like one of the girls he messes around with and not like the one he needed the most. People learn from their mistakes and will not repeat them. I felt all alone, lost, and used. No one should ever feel that way.
"You left," I heard him say snapping me out my painful memory.
"What?" I asked.
"You left," he repeats, and his knuckles went pale on the steering. "Why?" he asked as if it pains him to talk about it.
"I did it to keep you and the pack safe from the King. I couldn't risk any of your lives if I could change anything, I would have changed my direction and go the other way. I came to you knowing that you would take me in without questions, me going to your family was a bad idea. A vampire who has a pack is just silliness," I said not looking him in his eyes. "As much as I was having a blast with your family, I knew I had to leave before he catches up to me. I took the easy route, I ran away instead of face my problems, and I'm not proud of what I did to the pack knowing that they'll never forgive me, but I did what I felt was right and I would do it all over again. I rather they all hate me than you all be in danger because of me. You were their alpha and I know you well enough then that you would run away with me and I couldn't let that happen," I explain shaking my head.
"You left without a word I came back and you were gone, and I couldn't sense you anywhere you blocked your trail," Dane said softly. "How is that even possible? You shouldn't have left. A part of me died that night and I can't revive it."
"I know. I didn't want to be found and still don't," I said looking him in the eyes now.
