"Did you tell her?" Gatlin snapped her arms suddenly folding over her chest.
"No... No... I mean she doesn't know, know but she knows something is going on" Gatlin huffed dropping her arms then grabbing Onyx by his large muscular bicep practically dragging him into the room and slamming the door.
"Y—You shouldn't do that" he glanced down to the contact of their bodies. Her fingers grasping his arm which seemed to tense further under her hold.
"Right..." she muttered practically ripping her hand away and quickly folding her arms once again "you were saying any way?" She encouraged him to continue as she backed away to the furthest point in the room.
"Eliza" Onyx sighed brushing his fingers through his neatly combed back hair "she knows something is wrong."
"How?" Gatlin asked despite their awkwardness when they are together anytime she had seen Onyx with Eliza they were sickeningly sweet towards each other.
"I've been..." he closed his eyes struggling to even get out the words "distant and.." another sigh "being with her hasn't been the same."
"If 'being with her' means what I think it does I don't want to hear about your s*x life, Onyx" Gatlin shook her head at the man wondering why he couldn't seem to hold his part of the bargain "maybe you should spend more time there say your sick or something and go home for the rest of the month till I leave. You love her, don't you? You want to be with her then don't do anything to screw it up" it was quite the laughable situation even Gatlin could admit that with her pep talking her mate to be with someone else. It was quite comical really in her eyes.
"I do love her but—"
"No, no, Onyx no but you said it yourself" Gatlin was quick to cut him off not even wanting to hear what he had to say. Her face physically cringing at what was about to come from his mouth.
"Gatlin" he growled out her name and the sound alone sent a shiver up her spine. Gatlin didn't like it when they were alone, when they were near especially when they hadn't figured out a way to get rid of the bond after all there hadn't been any case of that sort of situation before. "Listen to me. I know what I said" he began to step closer "I remember everything I said to you, okay but the more I'm here with you the more this bond is growing..." Onyx was standing over her when he stopped. His silver eyes staring down At the short brunette "I don't know if it will stop and believe me only a few weeks ago even the day we met I believed I couldn't even look at another girl but..." A single hand reached out and Gatlin was tempted to run looking around for an escape route but then his fingers touched the skin of her cheek and everything stopped. Her sage eyes met his and nothing mattered it was as if everything melted away at the simple gesture. His fingers rest across her jaw and the side of her neck while his thumb gently stroked her heating cheek "but here we are and I can't stop looking at you" the words were a whisper as Onyx began to lean closer. The sane part of Gatlin's brain screamed for her to push him away but the other part was melting into him letting herself inch closer till their noses grazed against one another but to her relief, the door burst open and Onyx jumped away.
"Hey..." Arro greeted his eyes examining the situation he just walked in on.
"Hey what's up?" She attempted to sound as casual as possible.
"I just saw, Nyx come in awhile ago thought I would come in and let him know Liz is still here sitting in her car" Arro glanced to Gatlin a smirk curling the corner of his lips with a very knowing look.
"Right" Onyx cleared his throat before brushing his fingers through his hair once again now completely messing up its once neatly combed placing "I better go check on her then" he avoided both their eyes quickly making his way from the room while Arro continued to smirk.
"Thank you" Gatlin groaned out once Onyx had disappeared from view.
"Things getting hot and heavy?" Onyx teased.
"To close for comfort" Gatlin stepped over to the bedside and collapsed onto it causing Arro to chuckle.
"You know getting it on with your mate isn't usually a bad thing" the young Alpha made his way to her side and slumped down onto the bed.
"It is when you're mate is already with someone that they announced to the whole pack..." with a shrug she attempted to make light of it "plus I have plans."
"Plans on getting into my cousins pants" Arro laughed.
"That wasn't the case" Gatlin defended.
"It didn't look that way from where I was standing" for a moment the humour disappeared from Arro's face as he looked down at the she-wolf "at the end of the day, Linz he can say he has picked her till he is blue in the face but he will always be drawn and always want you" his blue eyes narrowed as they looked her over "and you will too" giving her a pat on the knee before standing back up and walked towards the door "I figured you needed help this time but I won't be here every time and your will power to stay apart with grow harder and harder to control..." Arro slapped a hand on the doorway "think about it" he said before leaving the room and leaving a very frustrated and confused Gatlin.
