Chapter 30 - 29: Frustrations

ISHI POV:

I got back to my house and closed the door loudly, making sure to lock it behind me. I don't know what's gotten into me! I've never been this irritable before.

She stirs all sorts of emotions and impulses in me. She is without a doubt, a very attractive female. She is a fast learner, and surprisingly light on her feet. The way her golden eyes shone in the sunlight as she was counter attacking earlier… The urge to devour her came over me. I ended up being more rough with her than I should have been.

I find it even more frustrating that she doesn't seem the least bit fazed by me! I couldn't help but stare at her exposed chest earlier, My desires were barely concealed. She wasn't even the least bit bothered! Either she is extremely dense or she doesn't see me that way.

I felt intense frustration and anger surge through me, I threw a vase nearby and shattered it. I growled, trying to suppress my rage. I leaned against the wall and slid down it until I was crouched on the floor with my head in my hands. I closed my eyes and tried to calm down.

The image of her in the showers surfaced in my mind, she was naked and completely unaware that I was watching. I watched every drop of water run down her body; from neck, down her breasts, along her stomach, down between her legs… I was envious of each droplet that trailed along her flawless and soft skin… I wished it was my tongue instead..

"AAAHH!" I yelled in frustration as I stood up and angrily stalked out of my house and across the wooden rope bridge to the next tree where Layla lived.

I banged on her door, tempted to just bust in. I waited until I heard her purr from inside, "Ishi, you can come in."

I came in and locked the door behind me. I went around the corner to her large bed where she was. She was propped up on her elbow reading a book, wearing a thin nightgown.

Layla is a black panther, she has dark skin, dark hair, and brilliant eyes. She is well toned and has a decent bust. We have been sleeping with each other for a few years now, whenever the urge arose.

I stalked into the room, ready to pounce on her. Being so close to Mika all day, and the sight of her in the shower…

I climbed on Layla, with a dangerous gleam in my eyes, ready to play out my darkest wishes on her.

"What 'as you so bothered latelay ?" She said, with her deep seductive voice.

I didn't bother to answer her. I know what the answer is.. or more accurately 'who' it is. Layla and I used to hook up once a week at most. Since I met Mika I've been visiting her almost every day.

"Shut up." I growled at her as I grabbed at her dress and tore it off her with more force than necessary.

"Ishi!" She looked at me in surprise .

"What?" I snarled, fully annoyed. "Don't want it?" I reached my free hand down between her legs, and started moving my fingers slowly. I wasn't going to give her the chance to say no.

The shocked look on her face was quickly replaced with one of desire as she made a low guttural growl, laced her fingers behind my head, and pulled me in for a deep kiss.

That was all I needed. I found myself keeping my eyes closed, imagining a particular red head underneath me. I deftly maneuvered my hands and kissed all the right spots, softening her up before I unleashed the beast inside me.

ISOLA POV:

Ishi wasn't at home, which meant that she off screwing Layla again. I sighed as I turned and headed across the bridge to Layla's house.

My sister has always been responsible, so I can't understand why she beat Mika into a such a state. The poor girl has bruises all over her body, which were on full display in that skimpy outfit Ishi made her wear. I have no idea what's going on inside her head, but I need to talk to her about it.

I stopped outside Layla's house, paused with my arm in the air and ready to knock. I could hear My sister and Layla going at it. I didn't particularly want to hear what was happening, but it was so loud that I couldn't help it.

It sounded like Ishi was being rough, I could hear Layla telling her to stop. Ishi growled angrily in warning before the noises continued, escalating, then abruptly stopped with two cries.

I felt myself blush, then shook my head. 'Mating is nothing to be shy about!' I boldly knocked on the door before they could start their next round, "Ishi! We need to talk!"

I could just hear Ishi's footsteps from the bedroom in the back of the house which didn't even pause when Layla told her not to come back for a while.

Ishi unlocked the door and walked out to meet me. She waved me on and we walked back to her house.

Once we got inside I closed the door behind me and said, "Ishi, what is going on with you?!"

"With me? I'm fine. Question is, Isola, what happened to make you come out of your hideout?" Ishi said, with her cat eyes squinting at me as she went over and sat on the sofa.

"I HAD to come all the way here because I'm worried! Ishi, what in the world has gotten into you?" I sat across from her.

"I'm fine." She said with a bitterness.

"You aren't fine. The Ishi I know is always responsible, cool, level-headed, and polite. You have been all over the place lately. You are irritable and cold, you won't talk to me about what's bothering you!"

"It's nothing. I'm fine." She said as she crossed her legs and relaxed on the sofa, as if everything was actually fine. The edge in her voice was not as convincing as her body language.

"You can stop saying that. We both know better. If you were fine you would have had a little restraint when 'training' Mika today." I said back, making my annoyance clear.

Despite her cool act, her eyes betrayed her. She looked concerned and guilty.

"She looked fine when I left her." Ishi said.

"Some injuries don't show up right away. I know you know better. She was covered in bruises when she got home. She was so exhausted that I had to struggle to keep her awake long enough to eat before she fell asleep." The look of guilt on her face intensified. "The Ishi I know is strict, but never brutal. What I saw today was not okay! She's as weak as a kitten."

Ishi sighed. She leaned forward, head in her hands and her elbows resting on her knees. "I'm sorry." She almost whispered, "I don't know what's wrong with me."

My heart ached for my sister. I leaned forward and put my hand on her. Ishi has always been there for me. She supports me and my work, defends me, and makes sure I'm well taken care of. She is the only thing that ever been able to pull me from my books. We know each other as well as we know ourselves, and I can tell something is bothering her.

"Is it because of Layla?" I asked.

She snorted, which is her usual sarcastic response.

"Do you think you are upset because she will be leaving us next month? I mean, I know you said you didn't have feelings for her, but things change. Maybe you actually like her now and you don't want her to go."

"That's definitely not it." Ishi grumbled.

"Are you sure?" I asked, "sometimes the heart and mind think differently."

"I don't give a shit where she goes or who she f***s. I've never had feelings for her and I never will. She's not my type." Ishi said with brutal honesty.

She has never said 'not my type' before. Which makes me wonder if she knows someone who IS her type. She seems to be in a bad mood right now so I won't prod further.

"Sorry. I just wanted to make sure. I wouldn't want you to have any regrets." I said placatingly.

"Don't worry. I won't." Ishi grumbled.

"I wont pry further, since you are already upset. I do hope you will tell me when you are ready. I love you, sister." I tapped my forehead to hers affectionately and she smiled back at me.

"Thank you." She said, sounding a little less grumpy.

I got up from the couch and said, "I am going to head back now, but Ishi, please take it easy on her tomorrow. I trusted you to train her, not beat her to a pulp. She needs to work on the Ki maneuvers to improve her Vitality as well, please."

She nodded in lieu of a response. I paused at the door and called back, "Love you!"

She rolled her eyes and threw a pillow at me while calling back, "Love you too, you hermit!"

It was around midnight and the walkways were empty, however I still wore a hood to hide my identity just in case. They won't be back for another couple weeks, but you can never be too careful.
