Welcome to my home

Rose
The first thing I see when I open my eyes is skin, pale skin, a chest … my heart starts beating faster and faster, but I hear a voice …
„Good morning dear” It’s Lucians voice.
„Where are we? This isn’t the room at the pack.”
„In honest, you did ask me to take you away. I hope you like it. This is my room.”
„Your room?”
„My room.” He smiled at me like I was a child asking too many stupid questions. I can’t help it. That is what I do when I am nervous. And I am right now. If it wasn’t for that pain … I should ask him about that.
„Uhm … I want to ask you something.”
„Sure love.”
„The pain … Do you know why … I mean, is it normal after … I mean … I did some reading about … but …”
He kissed me. To make me stop talking, or in my case stop blabbing stupid things. I guess it is true what they say, that you can stop a woman from talking by kissing her.
„It is not normal for that pain after an intimate act. The pain you felt was because, in lack of better terms. You and Matteo completed the mating and after he cheated on you. Do you understand what I am trying to tell you?”
I was looking at him like a deer caught in the headlight of a car.
„Because he did what he did. Even if it was … like that…”
„And after he slept with someone else.”
„Oh … and if we … you know … uhm …”
I am blushing like a mad man. Why can’t I just say those words? In a normal conversation I used them, that was before. And he is not helping me, he is just looking at me with love in his eyes and a small smile. Like everything I say or do is funny.
„Please stop.”
„Stop what love?”
„You are making me all … I don’t know … never mind …”
„I like the way you blush. And the fact that you can talk about it, in any way that you can is a good sign. You are strong.”
„Sure, so strong… quick question … Where is the bathroom?”
„It is the door next to the television.”
„Thanks.”
I kiss him lightly on the lips and go to the bathroom. It is a nice white one, not big but not small either. It has a shower that can hold two people … Rose stop with the dirty thoughts … a sink and a toilet. I wonder if I can find a toothbrush … what the … wait a second …
„Did you just do that? How did you know?” I screamed with the door closed because there was a large glass with two toothbrushes that suddenly appeared in front of me.
„Yes, I did. You are welcome. Now hurry. I miss you already.”
„Thank you.”
I rush through my morning routine. I even consider taking a shower, but then I remember taking one before I left. I didn’t even have spare clothes with me.
I got out of the bathroom. And he was already dressed. Waiting for me on the bed.
„Are we going somewhere?”
„My father invited us for lunch. At his place. No. You can’t say no.”
„Ok. But I don’t think he will like me at all. I mean look at me and then look at you. You’re handsome. I am plain.”
He started growing in size. It was his beast coming out. This is not a good thing, to upset the beast. I thought my mother raised no fool, but time and time again I prove her wrong.
„Rose Love Mine” his voice was low and animalistic.
„I am sorry.” I was looking at the ground, as a sign of submission, to make the beast feel better.
„No Sorry Rose Mate Rose Same” it is hard to understand the beast because he only speaks in simple words, were Lucian is very articulate. What I think he is trying to say that I am his mate as in his equal.
I raise my eyes to look at him. He is hunched in a weird position because he wants to look me in the eyes.
„You are so good looking even now. So muscular. I am human, weak.”
„Rose No Human.”
„What? Please come back so you can explain what that means.”
„Rose No Mad.”
„I am not mad. I want to know. Please tell me.” It feels like I have been crying for a lifetime, but there I have it, more tears. I have no idea how I haven’t dehydrated by now.
He reaches for my cheek and brushes his finger on my cheek to dry my tears.
„Rose No Cry Rose Love”
„I love you too big guy.”
He gives me a toothy smile. He has a ton of sharp teeth, like a shark, rows upon rows, it is captivating to look at him. Sure enough, he relaxes and Lucian is in front of me, shirtless.
„I think that you like me seeing you shirtless.”
„Maybe.”
„Well I do like it. But we are meeting your father? Now?”
„First of all. Did I hear it right or did you say you love me? And second here, new shirt.”
„Yes, I admit to saying it. Do not get used to it. I plan on saying it very infrequent. I like your magic, and the shirt.”
„Now, a little preparation. The room, my room is here with magic. You have to hold my hand. Anything you see out there please do not let go of my hand. Understand?”
„Yes. Hold you hand. Magic room. Scary outside. Hold your hand.”
He was smiling ear to ear. Amused by my attempt to joke. I smiled back at him.
„You are something else. And maybe my father can elaborate as to why my beast told you that you are not human.”
„Thank you. And can I kiss you?”
I should not have to ask but in my defence, he is taller than me by one head. Making it impossible to do it if he doesn’t tilt his head.
He wraps his arms around me. Kisses me, at first it is soft but as I reach my arm around his head. We start wanting a stronger kiss, deeper. I want to taste him and he wants to explore my mouth with his tongue. It feels like a thousand sparks and fireworks … he can kiss like no tomorrow. I whimper a little when he parts, just one more second, one more feathery kiss.
I look around me and it feels like I am very far from home. Light is nowhere to be seen, dark clouds above, and no people, or animals around.
„Where are we?”
„Welcome to my home. Where I was raised. My fathers home. I should have told you, but I was afraid of your reaction. Say something.”
„Is it? What I think it is?”
