"Ok you little brat, we know you're hiding in here somewhere. Don't think that you can get away from us that easily. When we find you, you won't be sneaking out again. After today you will be someone else's problem. Thank God... you have been nothin' but trouble for us, and we sure as hell don't need the cops snoopin' around again. Now I suggest you get your little ass out here before you really make us angry."
Raivyn woke up to voices close to where she had been hiding. The mean people were looking for her, they realized she had slipped out of her room. They couldn't find her, she wouldn't let them so she held her breath and tried to not make a sound. Raivyn had to be patient, she had to get away and find her daddy. That thought brought parts of her dream back to her as she waited for the mean people to go away. If only her dreams were real, she still felt his arms wrapped around her, protecting her. Raivyn whispered softly to herself, "Daddy, where are you... Please... I need you... I'm scared."
She could hear them just outside of the cabinet she was in. She closed her eyes and waited for the door to open and to be found, but it never happened. She heard them walk away and the door to the room close. Did they really give up that easy? Were they just trying to fool her into thinking they actually left when they were really just waiting for her to come out? Raivyn didn't know what to think about it, so she did what she always did, she closed her eyes again and thought of her daddy.
"Daddy I don't know what to do. Do I just stay here and hide or should I get out and try to runaway?" She knew she was being a silly little girl talking to her daddy when he wasn't really there, but it made her feel better anyways. She could pretend that he was there to answer her questions like he always did before her mommy took her away from him. Raivyn felt the tears start to fall but didn't bother to wipe them away. What was the point? They would just continue to fall until she was back where she belonged.
She waited for what felt like forever before she decided to be brave and sneak a peek out into the room. Not seeing anyone or hearing anything, Raivyn crawled out of where she had been hiding and looked around again for another way out other than the door. All of the windows had bars on them and there was only the one door. She didn't have much of a choice but to go back out the door and hope that the mean people were gone. As she went to reach for the handle she heard a woman's voice in her head telling her to hide again quickly. That it wasn't safe yet to go out there. Raivyn did as she was told like a good little girl. As she closed the door to her hiding spot a man walked back into the big room and stood by the door, he was there to stand guard.

Eithen stood there with the man that fate had determined was his, wrapped in his arms. Was he willing to give his all to River? Would River even accept it? It was a chance he wanted to take with every inch of his body. He wanted to taste that mouth again, run his tongue along that lower lip and nibble until it opened and allowed him access. He wanted to feel River's arms wrapped around him and hear him moan in pleasure. Could he take the offer that was being presented to him? He lowered his head and placed a hesitant kiss against River's waiting mouth. He heard himself groan from just that simple touch.
Eithen felt a buzz of electricity hum through his body. He pulled River tighter to him, but he just couldn't seem to get close enough. One hand was placed on River's lower back, the other holding the back of River's neck keeping him in place. Eithen needed this man like he needed the air he breathed, never again would he be without his mate.
River stared into Eithen's eyes, he had never felt like this before. He wasn't even able to explain what it was that he felt. All he knew was that this man holding him made River rethink everything he thought about himself. When Eithen had kissed him, it took his breath away. As their lips touched, he felt that same spark... that connection he had in his dreams with his wolf.
After the first touch, hesitation no longer had a meaning. Mouths tasted, hands roamed and bodies rubbed together, as they both tried to get as close to the other as possible. Before River knew what happened Eithen had him pressed against the wall nipping at his neck, working his way down to where it met his shoulder. River threw his head back as a moan escaped his lips, he never wanted this feeling to end. Eithen's hands seemed to be everywhere at once, skimming down his back, brushing against his chest and grabbing his hips to increase the pressure building between them.
Eithen couldn't get enough, he had to touch and taste everywhere he could reach. He ran his tongue along the side of River's neck as he pressed the lower half of their bodies together, grinding and thrusting. He slid his hands under River's shirt, he needed to feel skin.
River felt Eithen glide his hands across his skin, causing a wave of pleasure to course through him. He brought his hands up to grab the front of Eithen's shirt and before he could think about it he twisted around, now Eithen was the one against the wall.
"If we are doing this, we are going to do things my way," whispered River just before he claimed Eithen's mouth with his own. He ran his hands slowly down the front of Eithen's chest and rested them at the top of his jeans.
They stood there wrapped together, giving and taking, neither knew where one started or the other ended. They both felt the connection with every swipe of tongue, brush of skin and each breath shared, like a continuous flow of electricity. Both were headed for an overload, ready to explode. It was too much, all the raw passion mixed with the emotional stress. River and Eithen knew they were about to cross a line but neither cared. The only sounds in the room were gasps for breath, soft moans and low growls; no words were needed between them.
River wasn't sure what came over him, all he knew is that he needed to take charge of what was happening or chance Eithen thinking that he could control every aspect of his life. That was something that he was not about to let happen.
Eithen was stunned for a moment when River turned things around and he found himself against the wall. How had he lost control of the situation? Any questions or concerns he had, vanished as River forced his tongue into Eithen's mouth. When River told him they were doing things his way, Eithen's body responded like it never had before. From the moment River pushed him against the wall, his cock was hard and straining for release. For once Eithen would gladly give up his control, to this man and only this man, his mate. But would his wolf allow it?
River heard the low growls that came from Eithen as he took the lead. He felt them vibrate in his chest and they turned him on like nothing else had. He pulled the bottom of Eithen's shirt up as he glided his hands over Eithen's body while he placed little nips and bites along Eithen's neck and shoulder. If the low growls and little moans were anything to go by, Eithen enjoyed what River was doing.
He pulled back and looked up into Eithen's eyes. What he saw there made his breath catch. River could see the lust, the desire and the passion, but that was not what made him take another step back away from Eithen. There was no way that River was imagining the fact that Eithen's eyes were glowing. Fucking glowing, what the hell.
"What are you?" River whispered while he stared into those amazing eyes that drew him in every time.
"Later baby, later I will explain it all to you. I promise. Not now, it's not time yet." Eithen replied as he gently pulled River back up against him. River just nodded, and then claimed Eithen's mouth once again. They stood there and rocked against one another, they tasted, they touched and they explored. River grabbed Eithen by the hand and started towards the bed when Eithen's phone started to ring.

Raivyn didn't know how much time had passed since the man came into the room but she knew that she was getting tired again. Maybe she would just sit there and close her eyes for a bit. She was about to close the door to her hiding place all the way when the man started walking towards where she was. She scooted back farther and made sure not to make a sound as she watched him stop just outside of where she was and pick up two of the boxes and carry them back over next to the door. The man stacked them up and then sat down, falling asleep soon after. She could hear the man snoring and that made her feel a little better.
Raivyn had just wrapped her arms around her little legs and laid her head on top of them as she closed her eyes when she heard the woman's voice again in her head. 'Now my little black bird, go quietly while you can, but hurry.' Raivyn felt like she could trust the voice of the woman, so she did as she was told.
Before opening the door to her hiding place, Raivyn closed her eyes and thought of her daddy again. It made her feel safe when she did this, so she talked to him even if he wasn't really there to hear her. 'Daddy I love you and I need you. The nice lady is telling me that it is ok to sneak away from the bad people now. I know that you will find me soon daddy. I have to go now.'
Raivyn slowly climbed down from where she had hidden and tiptoed over to the door, the man never moved, he just kept on snoring really loudly. 'Hurry my little black bird while it is still safe to get out.'
