As they walked down the road, him limping once or twice and her, burning a little bit but managing to not say a word about it and Axel staring at her every chance he got.
She was not Misha.
He did not know why he did the comparison when he was already very much sure and aware that Misha was gone but he could not help it.
Their differences were so eye glaring that it made him feel like this was all so surreal.
He could have imagined Misha's reaction if she was in this girls shoes.
She would be asking questions, chatting non stop, her energy was something that he would give all his worry possessions to feel again.
And she always smelled of flowers.
But....
This one did not.
Her reaction to him was that of cold and an immense silent treatment, like she could be anywhere but here, like if she was given another choice, she'd happily vanish from him...
Which was obviously how mating worked.
She was supposed to NEED him.
As he was right now.
His wolf sense had heightened and he could tell she was obviously.... Wanting him but that wasn't all he was telling...
She smelt of rain, like the new one that when it touched the grass, brought an ethereal smell that made you want to stay under it, be wet and free....
She smelt of the earth, cold and real... And there.... Like if he touched her, she would welcome him... Please him in a way that he had not felt in.... Years....
And he wanted her.
Oh the gods, how much he wanted her.
"Stop staring" She snapped out of nowhere.
And for some odd reason, he found it extremely adorable "I cannot not stare"
"I don't care what you can or cannot do, I don't want you looking at me" She replied curtly, not even paying attention to him as they both walked.
He decided to obey her request as he looked away and said "What's your name?"
"You never shut up?"
"I do, actually, but to see your face puff up at the sound of my voice as you get mad is quite refreshing"
It puffed again, with red colour filling her cheeks, making his wolf, Alec sigh in contentment as she said "Ravenna"
"Ravenna what?"
"Ravenna will slap your ass right now if you don't shut up"
He heard himself chuckle as he said "Is that thing you like? Slapping male asses? Mines soft though, want to try out?"
She turned crimson now as she looked at the ground "I swear to God if you don't stop saying nonsense, I'd abandon you in the middle of the road and not think twice"
He laughed now "Forgive me, please, I am in dire need of your assistance at the moment"
She did not reply as they continued walking while he stayed quiet.
I want to hear her voice
She doesn't want to hear ours Alec.
She'd get to like it, better now than never. I bet she'd like.mine though, do you think her wolf will? What's her her wolves name? I bet it's drool worthy.
Well, I'm obeying her decision and staying quiet.
Pfft, I bet you'd be moaning her name and not obeying anymore by the end of the night.
He let out a small chuckle, not knowing she had heard as she tensed a bit under him but did not ask any questions as they kept walking down the road until he could see the Motel up close and pointed to it "There"
She gave him a grunt as a reply as they walked to it.
Entering the place made warmth blast to his face although a musky smell to filled his now extremely sensitive nose as he heard her also make a noise at the back of her throat that he realized he liked it.
The boy at the counter did not seem to notice them anyway, just kept going at his phone until Axel pushed himself out of her grasp, and walked to the counter "Hey, Timothy"
The red haired male looked up from his face, a bored look on it "What is it?"
It was times like this that Axel was grateful that teenagers did not bother to listen to him play, except of course, he touched a piano at a child's birthday and they all but marvelled around him "I need a room"
The male searched him, then the female, a small grin coming up on his face "Five hundred bucks"
Axel knew certainly that it was too much for a room in an abandoned place like this, but he was already feeling his legs crank as he was far away from her and so he brought out his credit card "Let's make this quick"
The kids eyes grew wide as he said "You're actually..."
"I'd pay a thousand bucks if you promise to tell no one you saw anyone with a face like mine here" He cut in "Deal?"
The boys eyes now were wide as saucers as he said "Fuck yes"
Axel smiled "Good boy"
*
Rip his shirt right there!
Reina.
He looks so.... Eatable! Why does he look so eatable?!
Raven let out a sigh as she raked a a hand in her hair.
They were now in the room, which to her utter disappointment was not as horrible as she thought.
He was sitting on the chair close to the door while she sat on the bed, confused on what to do.
What exactly could she even d
His face had this look of curiosity as he stared at her like she was some expensive artwork that he knew was worthy but could not really tell what it was.
His brown hair had glints of red in it that she could see under the pale lights of the room and the silence began to choke her as she said "You're quiet"
He looked like he had woken up from a trance when he said "Hmmm?"
"You're quiet" She replied "It's... It's annoying"
There was a slight chuckle he said that made butterflies flutter in her stomach as he said "You said I should be quiet"
"You didn't have to obey me" She said, looking away.
There was nothing again for a while as she heard him say "Come here"
The voice did not sound like the one he had been using ever since they met, it was....
Different...
It made Reina begin to do somersaults in anticipation for what he'd do to her.
The thought made her shudder.
"Ravenna"
She felt her body fall to pieces at the word as she turned, the heat returning now.
His blue eyes were dark now, like a storm was brewing in them as he said "Come sit on my laps"
Her legs moved on its own accord as she walked to him, and then he held her hands, gentle, barely touching... Barely feeling...
Her body yearned for more...
More...
Then he pulled her down, holding her by her waist, and sitting her down on his laps, straddling him as he looked up at her.
A part of her screamed that he had done something to her.
That this...
This obedience wasn't normal.
But when his hands brushed her face, all thoughts flew out of her head "Stop thinking"
Her head arched back on its own accord as he moved to her neck...
Barely touching again...
Barely...
That place cooled as his lips touched it and she hissed, moving on his laps while his hands held her still.
When he raised his head up to meey hers, his eyes....
They...
They made her melt....
"I need your approval" He breathes, his hands now sliding into her jacket, making her eyes close shut again...
She wants thinking.
"Cam I?" Then felt his hand touch the tips of her nipple and she buckled again...
What's...
What's happening to me?
"Say yes" He said... No ordered, demanded...
I'm falling apart, Raven thought, I want you to fix me.
Or maybe she had not said that in her head as she thought because she heard him make a sound from his throat that made her burn more "Wish granted"
