Broken soldier

The safe house continued

I woke up on a cloud. A very red satin cloud. Hang on, what? Slowly opening my eyes I try to move to assess any damages. Huh, nothing hurts, I must not have fallen as hard as I thought. I realized then that I am on an enormous bed. A very comfortable one I may add. I look slowly around the dark room. It’s hard to make any details out it’s so dark. I’m startled as I hear a voice ask, Makenzy what all did you hear? Oh, yeah, that. Umm, I start, try to distract with a question I think. So I know that vampires don’t need sleep to survive, so why do you have a bed? My question must have caught him off guard by the look on his face, but my victory was short lived as I answered my own question. Looking down at the bed I could no longer sit there so I stood. He stood with me. Makenzy please tell me what you heard and I will explain. I cough to clear my throat and get my thoughts together. Should I tell him everything? Would he be able to sense that I’m withholding information? Before I can finish my thoughts he is standing in front of me so quickly I didn’t see him move. Damn. I will never get used to some of these things. I just can’t look up at him right now but every time I try to side step around him he is back in front of me. It’s extremely frustrating how fast he is. Finally, before this makes me dizzy, I reach out to steady us and come in contact with his upper abdomen. Wow, that is impressive. He is still fully clothed and making my mouth water. Before I can think to remove my hands, he grabs both handfuls of my ass and lifts me up to him. No longer thinking any rational thoughts, I wrap my legs around his waist. My back is to a wall in less than a second and his lips are crashing down on mine. Jesus Christ! I have never felt such a fierce passion, or burning need for someone else. It is all consuming as we devour each other’s mouths. One hand deliciously pressing against the base of my throat, the other still cupping my ass. I take advantage of my opportunity and rip open the first few buttons of his shirt and explore his deliciously defined chest. Oh I can’t wait to taste the rest of him. His skin is like silk and although touching him is setting me on fire his skin is also cooler to the touch, cooler than a humans should be. Oh. f**k. That thought slaps the s**t out of me and brings reality crashing back down. Breaking the kiss, I attempt to remove myself from him but he is not letting me budge. J, please put me down. I feel him shake his head as he leans it into my neck. I gasp as I feel his hot breath on the base of my neck just below my ear. Do I really have to put you down? he whispers. Yes, I answer breathless and almost in a moan. He smiles into my skin and places a soft kiss on my neck before finally releasing me. I need to know what you heard Mak, he says softly. I take a deep breath not really ready to talk but also not really ready to resume what we just stopped, I ask him. Is it true? Am I your mate? As in your fated mate? The look on his face gave me my answer before he returned to the stoned face composed professional that he is. Waiting for a confirmation, I make my way to the chair in the corner. Yes. I hear, and my world instantly tilts. I have to sit as I’m suddenly dizzy. Again by my side in a flash of wind, J tells me, I’m not sure how far your clearance actually goes and what you know but I promise I will explain everything but it’s getting late in the evening and you haven’t eaten or rested at all. Yes you are my mate, and your well being is my upmost concern. So first please eat something and I will answer any questions you have, then it’s time to rest. We head back down to the kitchen and I eat the prepared salad and it was amazing. It really had been quite a while since I had eaten. As it’s hard to ask questions when your inhaling a salad, I finished quickly and unsure if nervous or anxious, I tested the waters. So, is me being your mate why I’m here? Or does the council honestly believe there is a threat. He thought about his answer before saying, yes and no. And yes. Huh? Please don’t be a smartass I tell him, I’m too tired for that but need answers before I can sleep. Okay, Mak. Yes you being here specifically in this house is because your my mate, this is my personal home, the twins are my roommates for the time being. And yes, there is a very real threat against you. Suddenly struggling to keep my eyes open , I ask the other question I have been avoiding. So umm, where am I supposed to sleep? He chuckles as if there were any other answer, well my bed of course, a smile tugging at the corner of his beautiful lips. Oh, umm. I really don’t want to sleep in the bed you have had I’m sure a lot of s*x in, I say, avoiding his eye contact. Makenzy I assure you, he says as he pushes my chin up to meet his eyes, you are the only woman I intend to have s*x with in my bed, and your the only woman who has ever seen my home. Now, come with me and we will get you comfortable so you can rest, because I fully intend to have you as my breakfast.
