Chapter 21: The kiss

2118 Words
We made our way home and Romulus played with Lisa, running with her on his shoulders, while Annie talked Fenris’ ear off. It was so sweet seeing Romulus show this softer side to himself, I wish he didn’t hate me so much, I was starting to think I’d have no choice but to reject him as a mate. I had no doubt he’d reject me too, but Jax was right, my heart ached just thinking about it, they would probably all reject me and I worried how I would survive that much heartache. When we got back, Lisa took both Fenris and Romulus’s hands and pulled them along to come play with her. Annie dragged me to my room for privacy and made me put on the black jeans and red tank top tucked into them. I admit, for once, I did feel nice and feminine not having to wear sweatpants, I didn’t even know I had a waist! I would have a nice hour glass figure if I lost weight. My hair had grown since I’d been out of the asylum, I let it grow almost to my waist, but I didn’t know what to do to make it look nice, so always kept it In a low ponytail. Annie pulled my hair tie out and got out the hair products she’d bought me. She used the products and ran her fingers through my hair and by the end, my curls looked beautiful and healthy and bouncy, making them look thick and luscious. We literally had a cliché girl’s night in the end while Lisa stayed with Romeo and Savannah, Annie didn’t trust anyone besides her brothers or the alpha and Luna with Lisa alone. She didn’t think anyone would hurt her, she just worried about her witnessing a challenge or fight or some other violent incident. She bought foundation to match my black skin tone, and then did some contour, all of which I knew nothing about except what she was telling me. She put on eyeshadow that was a shimmery champagne color, did this cool thing with a pencil eyeliner, where she pencilled my waterline in black but stopped just before halfway, making my eyes look somehow larger and more doe like, but when she did a sharp cat eye my eyes looked almond shaped and beautiful, especially after using mascara and some false eyelashes. For my lips she used a black lip liner to fill in my lips and put red lipstick over the top so that it was such a dark red it was almost gothic. “You’re done!” She cooed and made me look in the mirror. I honestly didn’t recognize myself at all, for the first time in my life I felt desirable and attractive. She put a black choker on me and said the look was complete. I thought maybe we would just hang out in my room, but she wanted to show off my new look while I did not. I felt too self-conscious, what if everyone laughed at me for trying too hard, or told me what a waste of time it was because I was ugly? She ignored my protests and dragged me out of the room and down the stairs. No one said anything mean, but maybe that was just because Annie was with me? Jax came over to me and with his hands on my hips, he leaned in and whispered, “still want me to take your virginity?” I pushed him away playfully, and he winked at me. Fenris was in the kitchen making food for himself. Annie pushed me towards him. “Don’t she look good!” She said. Fenris looked up from his plate of food, but he had his cold and unreadable face on, so I had no clue what he was thinking. His gaze travelled over my body and up to my face, but I couldn’t figure out whether he liked what he saw or if he thought it was laughable. Annie pulled Jax out of the kitchen, I didn’t know why she was so insistent on me and Fenris being alone, I knew he didn’t like me like that. At least, I didn’t think he did? He walked over to me when we were alone and touched the choker around my neck lightly. “You like wearing chokers and collars?” He asked. He said it casually enough, and so I casually replied, “yes.” “Do you like collars with leads attached too?” When I frowned in confusion, he said, “In the bedroom, do you like a guy in control of you? Using a lead to guide you where he wants you and what he wants you to do for him.” I blushed hotly, I had never expected Fenris to talk about such Intimate things before, not to me, not to anyone for that matter. He always seemed so quiet and sensible compared to his brothers. “Uh, well, umm, I’m still a virgin, so I haven’t tried, but I think I’d like to be dominated by a man because I’m submissive and enjoy someone else being in control.” My cheeks burned so hotly, why had I said all that! Fenris came closer to me and grabbing my chin, he tilted my head up to meet his eyes. “Do you think you’d enjoy being dominated in bed?” I could only nod, and I swear he got that dark male look guys get when they’re turned on. He moved us back until my back hit the counter, and he leaned his hands on either side of me, trapping me in between him. He looked down at me, our faces so close, and quietly said, “would you let me dominate you? S.lap your a.rse hard when you misbehave, use a collar and a lead to pull you down to suck my c***k?” Was this really happening? Was Fenris, the cold and distant one, really talking dirty to me right now? His words were so hot I thought I might pass out from hearing them. I barely managed a nod, afraid if I spoke, nothing would come out. He bit his lower lip and whispered, “kiss me.” My heart was pounding so hard, I knew he’d be able to hear it. Kiss him? Was this some mean joke? Did he mean it? Had Annie been right that he liked me? All these questions raced through my mind. Sounding breathy, I whispered, “I don’t really know how to kiss.” This seemed to turn him on more and without another word he leaned down and pressed his lips to mine. He kissed me surprisingly softly, and it was long and slow and oh so lovely. Jax was right about the kiss thing with your true mate. It did something, I felt like I wanted to hold on to Fenris and never let him go, my feelings for him intensified and I think I loved him. Could you love someone that quickly? I don’t know, all I knew was that I wanted him, forever. Someone walked into the kitchen, and Fenris quickly broke the kiss and moved away from me. When they got what they wanted and left, I asked him, “are you embarrassed of me?” Fenris gave me a cold look and replied, “it’s been a while since I’ve been with a female and I let my frustrations get the better of me, that’s all. This was a mistake, and it won’t happen again.” He left after that, and all I wanted to do was run to my room and cry. Had he not felt the same feelings as me? Jax found his way back into the kitchen while Annie was distracted by Lisa and Romeo. “Hey, what’s going on?” He asked. I tried so hard not to cry, but I guess he’d seen my eyes filled with tears, and of course, that damn kindness people show that always set the tears off, they fell and Jax came and hugged me. “Babe, what’s wrong?” He asked. Since when did Jax babe me? I’d noticed he’d started doing that more and more instead of the usual dude or Rose, lately it would be babe or darling. “Fenris kissed me, it was nice, and I thought maybe, just for a second, someone was kissing me because they actually liked me. He said it was a mistake, and he let his horniness get in the way.” Jax rubbed my back and after some time he said, “I like you.” “Yes, as a friend,” I snorted. He pulled back to look at me and said, “yeah, but don’t they always say to marry your best friend or some s.hit?” I grinned at him and teasingly said, “oh, you want to marry me now?” He laughed at his own slip up and said, “ok, that came out wrong, what I’m trying to say is that I’ll happily kiss you because I like you, I think you are beautiful, and I like kissing,” he winked at the end. I went to shake my head no, but he was already leaning in and pressing his lips against mine. The kiss was really good, and for a moment I allowed myself to enjoy it before doubt and insecurity set in. I pulled away and put my hand on his chest when he tried to lean in to kiss me again. “You know I want more than just casual fun Jax, plus, you’ve just made it so that our feelings for one another has intensified, you feel it too right? The mate bond?” “Yeah, I didn’t think of that at the time, I was too busy being a perv over you. Sorry.” I felt more comfortable with Jax so I made myself ask him, “are you going to reject me when it’s time?” He became as unreadable as his brother and stepped back, creating distance between us. “I don’t know, it’s a lot to accept when it comes to me, I need someone who’s going to accept me and all my crazy.” “I accept you.” He snorted a laugh at that and said, “you always give me lectures about how wrong it is to kill. I’m never going to stop, it’s something I need to do, and I can’t just lay in bed at night knowing innocent people and children are going to die because I decided to stop killing other killers. You wouldn’t believe how many supernaturals out there use their powers and unnatural strength to subdue their victims, that’s all some of them live for, to kill and cause misery and pain to humans.” “And the humans you kill?” I asked. “Believe it or not but some of them are worse than the monsters themselves.” I nodded. “I accept that.” “Rose, don’t just say that because you want me, you need to really mean it otherwise, it’s going to come between us if we accept one another.” “I do mean it.” Annie came in, so we couldn’t talk about it anymore. Romulus joined her and while Annie was bantering with Jax, Romulus came and stood beside me. Leaning down, he whispered, “you look pretty.” I frowned at him, and he said, “I know I’ve been a d.ick to you, I’m sorry for that, but you really do look pretty.” I used my annoyance to have the courage to say, “so you’re only being nice to me now because I’m pretty?” “No, I like you as a person and I like that you seem to make Jax happy, and maybe a little less dangerous to society.” “Why have you been so mean then?” He looked down at the floor and answered, “because I can be a shallow prick, I admit I tend to go for a girl based on her looks, but then I’m not really looking to settle down with anyone, so I don’t care about her personality. I guess I should get to know you more though, seeing as you’re meant to be my true mate.” “Aren’t you just going to reject me?” He smiled at the irritation in my voice and answered, “I should still get to know you before making such a big decision, besides, I have no doubt you’ll be rejecting me too.”
