"Did I hurt you?" He murmured, those luminescent blue eyes looking down at her in worry.
In a daze she lifted a slightly unsteady hand and felt for the two punctures on her neck. "You bit me." She said in a disbelieving tone.
She saw him wince and his eyes fixed on some unknown spot on the floor beside her shoulder. "I know. I'm sorry... that - that wasn't supposed to happen."
She slid her hand beneath his chin and lifted it so that he was looking at her. She spoke only when his eyes focused on her. "Then why did it? I mean - you can control yourself pretty well and..."
He shook his head as if confused, giving him an unusual vulnerable quality. "I don't know -" he sighed and dropped his head so that it lay against the hollow of her throat, "it was like some kind of compulsion- this need to taste you everywhere, just like I was touching you everywhere... my biting you seemed to complete something..."
Beneath him she went stiff. "Kai."
He rolled onto his side and took her with him, pulling her thigh over his leg as he did so. His hands buried in her hair as he watched a panicked expression come into her face. "What is it?"
"You bit me... just like that guy did... and you said that if we had sex after that then I would become..." she trailed of, looking up at him in horror.
He sighed and brushed his hair away from his face as he pulled her closer to him with his other arm. "I know, I'm sorry." He lifted one shoulder in a shrug, his expression showing that his regret was real. "But it's too late now. By now, the change has been set in motion."
Hannah felt a flash of fear go through her and she shivered involuntarily. "This isn't going to end well is it?"
He looked down at her and cupped her face in his hands. He ignored her question as he rose up on one elbow, asking a question of his own. "You regret it?"
Hannah felt her cheeks burn and couldn't hold his gaze. "I regret being pulled into this..." then she gave a cheeky smile, "I don't regret having the best sex of the century though." Then she had the pleasure of watching him give her that rare but incredible smile. She couldn't help but reach out a finger and trace it. His lips were so perfect... everything about him was perfect. That was, until she got to the part where he was a wolf man who had gotten her involved in something way over her head.
However, like he said... it was too late now. But there was something she still didn't know. "Kai... you still haven't told me why they're after you. You've never once brought it up." As soon as she mentioned it, she felt his whole body tense up against hers and his hand on her hair tightened. When he didn't say anything after a while, she pulled slightly away from him and rolled onto her back, pulling a long t-shirt that he had thrown earlier on the floor and covering herself up. Never a good omen for the conversation to follow. She sat up, clutching the piece of cloth to her. "You're not going to tell me are you?" She murmured, the momentary high feeling she'd been feeling slipping away as if it had never been. Shaking her head she stood up. "Well, we have to go don't we? I'll just take a shower and then we can go."
She moved away from him and left the walk in closet, going to the bathroom and shutting the door before leaning back on it. Why had she thought that sleeping with him would somehow change things? Apparently all it had done was mutate her somehow and left her feeling hollow. He still didn't trust her, and she wondered if he ever would. Dropping the towel she went to the shower stall and slipped inside, sliding the glass shut before turning on the hot water.
All her muscles were aching - but at least the itch that had plagued her skin was gone. Well that's something, Hannah told herself as she dipped her head under the hot jet of water; her hair to soaking it all up and then she sighed with pleasure as the water began a steady stream down her back.
A few minutes later she lifted her head when she heard the door slide open and felt a cold draft seep into the warm fogged stall. She turned away from the spray, brushing clinging hair from her face and turning wide eyes on a still naked Kai.
Before she could fully turn to look at him, he slid an arm around her waist and jerked her against him, then he pushed them both back under the spray. Hannah gasped and placed both hands on the tiles in front of her.
"Kai-"
His mouth landed on the side of her neck and she fell still. "It's not that I don't want to tell you it's just that I-"
"Forget it." She interrupted trying to shrug him off, but he remained where he was. His mouth at her neck. His arms around her waist and his front plastered to her back... with interesting consequences to his body. She shivered as she felt his erection pressing into her lower back.
Kai gave a weary sigh. "They want me dead because... because our Leader's daughter claims that I raped her." His every word sounding like it was being torn from him.
Hannah went stiff for a second, struggling to understand what he had said. Then suddenly she was turning in his arms and facing him, framing his clenched jaw between her hands as the water poured over them both, plastering that amazing hair to his body and hers as they stood pressed close together.
"That's impossible." She said with such conviction that he couldn't help but smile despite the conversation they were about to have.
