"What was that all about Red?" Marti asked when the got into the taxi.
She was still trying to catch her breath. Sasha had never felt such a jolt in all her life. She'd always know she could sense things but with him and seeing his eyes it had affected her deeply. They had changed before her. Gone were the blue silvery ones she felt she'd get lost in and replaced by pure silver. They were rich and bright. It had spooked her.
"His eyes, Marti, they had changed," she whispered.
"How?" her friend asked.
"I don't know. One minute they were that blue/silver and then they changed to this bright, piercing sliver. I can't explain it. It scared me. I felt like there was something trying to get out of him. How strange is that?"
"Totally strange, Sasha. I can see why you bolted so quickly," Marti said.
The car stopped at the house and the girls walked in. Sasha looked around; she felt like they had been followed, that someone was now watching them. She shook her head and closed the door, locking it before going to shower.

Ehrik had left just after the woman had. He told Vik to stay at the club. He hadn't been happy but Vik knew better then to disobey the alpha when he used that tone. So Ehrik kept to the shadows and followed them. He stayed hidden, his silver eyes glowing. He swore that Sasha had seen him, or at the very least felt him.
He saw her look over her shoulder before closing the door. Somehow looking out into the night, trying to see what was there. He kept to the shadows. He heard her lock the door and then wondered where her room was. He wanted to talk to her, to see her.
Ehrik knew having held her in his arms that she was perfect. He felt they would fit together with ease. He only needed to explain to her what he was. If he could talk to her he was sure she would be okay with him. Hell, he hoped that was the case.
Then he saw an upstairs light turn on. He let his eyes focus and he saw it was her. He saw that the dress she was wearing was gone, having slipped from her silken skin. Then he took notice that nothing clung to her body, she was bare.
Ehrik moved closer. He wanted to see her, to just be near her. His wolf on the other hand wanted to be let loose, to devour his mate. He knew better, even though the urge to let go was there, almost over powering, he kept it in check. He just watched her.
The light turned on in her bathroom and he saw her turning on the water. Her hand touched it to check the temperature. Then she slipped under the streaming water. He had almost lost it then. Moving back into the shadows, he decided it was time to take his leave. If he watched any more he wouldn't be able to control his actions.

Sasha undressed slowly. She made her way into the bathroom truing to get over the feeling she was being watched. She adjusted the water of the shower and then stepped inside. The way it moved over her skin, slithering down her body like a snake made him sigh.
She tilted her head back and let the water run into her hair. Her hands helped, running through it. With her eyes closed instantly she saw him in her eye. He was amazing, darkly handsome. His features were classic. The only thing about him was his eyes. In her mind they stood out most of all.
She saw his eyes when they had changed. The silver coolness of them had scared her most of all. Sasha was always one to want an explanation for things but this had just spooked her. She shook her head, cleared her thoughts and finished washing her body. She would have plenty of time to think about it; right now she needed some peace.
