Dangerous Heart (Completed)

Oops! (2)

Hawk's POV

Amber running and wrapping her arms around me blew my mind. I was pissed when I seen the guy trying to take her the way they had. I am glad I put her near Mato. I sliced the dumb shits up. It felt good to watch them fall. I heard the yelp from Amber and seen she was looking at the were cat. Cutting him in half, gave me great pleasure. A were cat had hurt her, until I found the actual one, this would do. When the Southern wolf went at me, it woke the beast. Meaning he was old enough to feed Lilth. So I let him eat.

The sensations of her arms around me and her body pulled so tightly against me. Instantly had my beast gone, The feeling that over took my body sent heat right to my groin. Taking me a moment to get my head back I wrapped my arms around her bringing her tighter to me. Mato, graciously offered to clean up the mess I made, so I could take Amber out of the scene.

Standing in the room I seen her staring at me, while I changed my shirt. I paused to glance at her sitting against the head board, legs curled to her chest with her eyes closed. Walking to her I tossed the shirt on her bed, while I sat next her.

"What's wrong Ma Cháñte?" I turned her.

Her green eyes peeked over her knees. "I didn't mean to hug you like that." She squeaked.

I chuckled, placing my hands on her arms. I leaned in, close enough my breath fanned her forehead. "You got a fright and were worried." I gave her a light kiss on her forehead before I added, "I didn't mind at all." I leaned back. Grabbing the shirt I stood up and put it on.

"What was the man with a face like a cat?" I heard her ask.

I sat down on her bed again. "A were cat." I spoke softly. I had a feeling I knew what she wanted to say.

"Were cat, they change into cats?" She peeked up at me.

"They do." I nodded.

"It was one like him that took me the first time." She whispered. "I read in the book that normally it kills most women of any race." There were tears in her eyes. I scooted closer, wrapping my arms around her folded form I picked her up and sat her on my lap.

"I have never met anyone as strong and brave as you." I gushed softly into her ear. "I am sorry for things that have happened in your life." I held her tightly as I felt her body quake with silent sobs.

I held her like that, for a long while. I went over the names in my head of the people that had her. I would take each one. The were cat I would save for last. I wanted to savor his last breath. I noticed she was no longer crying, I looked down to see she had fallen asleep. I scooted farther on to the bed. I put my back against the headboard and held her in my arms. A knock came to the bedroom door. "Come in." I answered.

Mato walked in with my sword and sheath. "I'll put this on your bed." He nodded, placing it there. He turned to ask, "she ok?"

"Yeah, she told me about the were cat." I spoke softly not to wake her.

"Ah, was he the one?" Mato asked.

"No," I shook my head.

"I will have them bring dinner up." He glanced at Amber then to me. Lowering his head in salute and thanks.

He closed the door quietly. I sat there holding Amber's sleeping form. I leaned my head back against the wall and sleep soon found me.

I never dreamed. My sleep was just relaxed darkness. So, I was surprised to see, the dream that played out in my head.

I was holding Amber in my arms at the place we train at. She had her arms around my waist like she had earlier. I was holding on to tightly. She looked up at me with tears streaming down her face. Sliding my hands to cup her cheeks. I leaned down to kiss her lips. My hair becoming a curtain as our lips met and I felt a need to taste her like never before. You could feel my body's hunger for her touch and to feel her skin.

The knock at the door broke me out of the dream and back to the room. I looked at her still curled in my lap. "Come in." I spoke. Amber stirred but did not wake up.

I watched one of the young girls that chatted with Amber move In with a tray of food. I seen the girls' cheeks go pink as she kept her head at her task. Then bowed her head and exited the room quietly.

I looked down at Amber, squeezing her just a bit, I placed my mouth near her ear and spoke "Ma Cháñte we have dinner waiting for us."

I seen her open her eyes, as she turned to look up at me, our lips brushed each other. A jolt of electricity shot through me, both of us sucking in a deep breath. We both looked wide eyed at each other. Amber's eyes darted to my lips and I noticed mine darted to hers. She was the first one to gulp and stand quickly. Getting off the far side of the bed she headed straight to the bathroom. Hearing the bathroom door close, I stood. Walking to my bed, I put then sword in the sheath and propped it near the window.

The jolt sent a flood of heat straight to my groin making it tingle. It had done that when, I was young before Lilth had came along. It never stirred after. She had to be my mate, this had never happened before.

The bathroom door opened, while I was lost in thought. I heard her grab, a plate and the bed crunch down.

I turned to see her eyes looking intently at her plate. "I am sorry," she whispered.

"Do not be sorry," I gave her a brilliant smile. "You just gave me my first kiss." I turned around a bit surprised I said that.

"Y.. Your first?" I heard her fork drop and the words stutter forth.

I turned my head a bit to look back at her and nod. "Growing up we did not act the way it is now. When we courted the woman to marry or our mate it was done according a code of respect. I never got the chance to court, so whatever experiences I should have had I did not. I pushed myself so much to anger and fighting that I never had time to explore this." I waved a hand between us.

Range of emotions played across her face before, she quietly said, "that is the first kiss like that." She went back to her plate. I watched her ears turn bright red.
