The Majestic rising (Finished)

Almost and then not

Penelope Pov:

Waking up had never been harder, it felt like a sledgehammer, no refraze, it felt like a wrecking ball had hit me and slammed me into a mountain. “awake love?” The voice was soothing and warm. I tried opening my eyes but it was too hard. “Gabe?” I asked, not entirely sure but partly sure that it was him. “hmm” he answered back. “Hungry” he asked, the bed dipping where he sat, I was on my side and I could feel him sitting around where my belly was. “I don't know” I said, he chuckled. “Can I pick you up?” He asked, I nodded, as he placed his arms under my legs and my neck, instead of pulling me up, he pulled me closer to the bedside, I was slightly confused until I felt something pulling out of me. “Liam and King were not keen on separating,” Gabe said. “Bath?” he asked, I scrunched my eyes together and nodded again, “Its okay love, I got you” He kissed my forehead and I could feel the motion of us walking out the room and into the bathroom. While still carrying me, he turned on the shower and stepped into it. he let the water take over his body first and then over mine after a while, probably to get it to warm up. As my body was warming my eyes started cooperating more and I could open them, then the first thing I saw was blood amber eyes. “Hi there beautiful” His white teeth were shown as he gave me a heart melting smile. “hi” I tried to say, but my voice gave out. He placed me on my feet and stepped into the water with me, he never let go of his hold around my body, and honestly I could probably not even stand on my legs right now. One arm was around my back and held me steady, pressing my entire body up against him. “How many times did he make you c*m?” He asked, I was mesmerized by his eyes, and even though I heard the question, it was like it didn't even register in my brain, all I could think about was this man infront of me, and for some reason missing the feeling of him inside of me, not like I actually knew the feeling, but still felt like I did somehow. Gabe was looking at me with big question marks in his eyes, I moved closer and my lips touched his, I kissed him gently and pulled back to see his reaction. “I would love to comply, but I do not think this is a..” I was not really enjoying the way to gentlemanly rejection, so I went for another kiss, placing my hands on his chest. He stiffened but pretty much just stood there. “love” He tried as I stopped him from talking by kissing him deeper, this time taking him talking to me as an invitation to use my tongue. He was still for a moment, when his hands pulled me unto him. “You asked for it” his deep husky voice was intoxicating and I was pretty much in control. Or so I thought until he was in on my Idea. The control I had disappeared, his tung got me wrapped and all I could do was give in and let him do what he wanted. “Can you stand?” He asked, I was reluctant in letting him go so I shook my head. “Are you lying?” I was getting the words registered in my mind and nodded. “and why would you do that?” He asked after my answer, he kissed my neck as he was trying to get my legs off his body and onto the floor. “Don't want to” I tried to continue, but my words were probably not coming out. He stepped out of the shower and towards the sink. A stream of cold water started flowing but I was not getting down. I did not want to. “Drink, and we will talk” he said, sweetly but finally. I shook my head, buried my face in his neck. He sighed, bent down and came up again, he forced my head towards him, as he kissed me the water he had taken from the tab ran down my sore throat and some down my chin onto my skin. “Now, why did you lie love?” He sounded confused, humored and slightly concerned. “Don't know, I just don't want to get off you” as I said the words out loud, I realized what kind of spoiled ass child I sounded like. I could feel myself flush and was about to get down, even though my entire body was screaming for me not to, I felt ridiculous for not doing it in the first place. “don't” he said as I tried squirming my way down his body, he held my legs tight to himself. “don't if it hurts that much.” I was confused. “Liam told me that you were embarrassed, and I actually enjoy making you embarrassed, but when he told me just now that it was physically hurting you to do whatever you were doing. I now dont enjoy it” he looked me straight in my face, I was looking down and trying to make the tears that was forcing their way to the surface to stay the f**k away. “i'm sorry” I got out. He hugged me so tight that I was having a hard time breathing. “No, i'm sorry. Just because you have mated with Liam and King, does not mean you know what is going on” I swallowed what felt like a rock that was in my throat. “Now, love” He said as he brushed my cheek with his hand. “What do you want?” I was not questioning what I wanted, I was questioning whether I should tell him and be a total child wanting my way, or just let the moment that we clearly had, fade more away. As I was trying to figure out what to do, a big thud came from the bathroom door. “I swear to whatever god you believe in Gabe, if you do not take her right now and make whatever is hurting, confusing and making her doubt herself go away, I will make sure you NEVER get to mark her. Am I Clear?” Liam was yelling on the other side of the door, one he could clearly break down. I flinched as Gabe stood up and went into the stream of hot water again. It hit my face first and as I adjusted to the fact that water was running down my face, Gabe leaned in and placed his forehead to mine. “I hate he can feel you now, it pisses me off, that I am not able to read you.” I flinched when the word hate came on his lips and honestly I don't think I heard the rest of what he said. “I am a dominant person” I swallowed, he was going to reject me, I was not what he wanted. Every thought I could have to get my self esteem down was there. I was not hearing anything as he was talking and talking, my eyes were shut, but I am sure if they were open I would not be able to see anything, I dizzy and nauseated. I was going to throw up. And just like that, I did. all out on Gabe, his entire body was covered in my vomit and my entire body was rejecting anything touching it. “I TOLD YOU!” I could hear liam's voice booming beside us, and just like that everything went quiet.

Gabes POV:

I was struggling with the emotions Liam was throwing at me, when her entire body went limp. I stopped everything and so did Liam. Looking at the tiny body in my arms going pale and limp was terrifying. “What?” I started saying. “Why would you reject her?” Liam said, almost crying, not knowing what to do, full well knowing I'm stronger and more dominant but still wanting to make me submit because of what he thinks happened. “I did not” I said, as I let the shower wash away the last bit of vomit on me and her. “But she clearly” He started, I gave him a death stare and he shut up, I loved him to bits but f**k im annyed that he is the only one knowing her emotions right now. Liam wrapped a towel over me, I did not let her go, her head resting on my shoulder and the body that was desperately cleansing to me was now hanging lifeless instead. Liam said nothing as we walked from his room into mine. I sat on the bed and rested my body on the headrest. Liam came in together with TJ and Curt. “What happened?” TJ asked as he sat beside us on the bed. “I don't know,” I said and looked for answers in Liam. “her hole body wanted you, and when she felt like you wanted her to let go, her body just wanted to stay as it was. At some point she started to feel embarrassed and like a spoiled child.” Liam took a breath, clearly trying not to cry as the feelings he felt second hand was bottling up inside him, he cleared his throat. “And out of nowhere, these condescending feelings started, just vomiting out of her” he was breaking and as much as I wanted to hold him and say it was okay, I knew that letting go of her would be even worse. Curt wrapped his arms around Liam from behind and started stroking his belly. “All out of nowhere, they just came and they continued until this black pit of her giving up,” He stopped trying to figure out what even happened. “It sounds like the chymera females” Curt suddenly said. “What?” TJ asked. “When a female has chosen a male mate, and the male does not want to be chosen, the female goes into a spiral of self loathing and condescending thoughts to justify why he did not want her. And shortly after that if the male does not make sure he rejects her probably, she will… run away from that feeling, sometimes by actually running away and sometimes by” he gestured to the still limb body in my arms. “fainting” I clarified. Curt nodded, I took a deep breath. “I did not reject her, hell I would die for her.” I said as I stroked the naked body that was on mine. “I know, but I think the feelings overpowered her rational thoughts and you probably said a word that tricked her to think you rejected her.” Curt said, making it my fault. “And what word would that be?” I was getting annoyed. “Say the last thing you told her before she fainted,” TJ said, trying to help. I thought back and breathed hard. “I am a dominant person” I said, “That would probably not have done it, what did you say before that?” I looked at Curt as he tried his best not to sound too angry at me. I again was thinking about my choice of words when Liam came to my rescue. “I hate he can feel you now, it pisses me off, that I am not able to read you.” I looked at Liam as he talked. “Hate,” TJ said. I looked at him on the bed. “what?” I asked him. He shook his head. “All I heard was the first two words, I hate” He said, and it dawned on me, just like Penelope, TJ was a child so they would share the same feelings. I never think about my word choice, because everyone knows my feelings, so even if I say something I regret they would know right after my feelings. But she would not, she would hear me say I hate, and she would think I had rejected her. The whole room was quiet. “I got it” I said, looking at Liam. “One more chance, I will do it right” I said and looked my pup right in the eyes. He nodded and went to take TJ off the bed and grabbed Curts hand on the way out. “I love you” I said to the door before it shut, the warm feeling from all three of them was all I needed. Now the waiting game was on, I had to wait until she woke up, I had to relax her, make her believe in herself and in me again, and if I was lucky I would get to mate and mark this gorgeous person in front of me.
