~MIKE'S POV~
I carefully manage to slip my head underneath Cody's almost weightless body. His frame is so much...smaller. He looks...pale...close to lifeless even. Did I do this?
I ignore my throbbing brain, and instead make my way deeper into the woods. I thought I would never see him again, but his scent being so strong, I just had to find him. My mate. My beautiful and broken mate.
We had never been so close for this long. An hour I have been carrying him on my back, eyes glossed over in a bloody red color. His delicious aroma has my mouth watering uncontrollably, and every so often I catch myself walking in circles, as if following the scent. Such a unique thing it was. A strong mixture of butterscotch and vanilla...how intoxicating... Your mate's scent is what brings you two together. It alone has my tongue practically begging to lap at his neck. To taste it as well as smell it. Oh, Cody. What have you done to me?
Soon enough, we near the hideout along the river, pesky mosquitoes already swarming along Cody's exposed legs. I slip him into the grass, tending to the puffy mounds with licks. His tender skin is irresistibly perfect, especially on his inner thighs. Why? Because every time my tongue glides over those spots the smell of his arousal fans my nose. I need more...so I lick higher-
and higher-
and higher-
Suddenly I huff as my licks are cut off by the hem of his shorts. Damn humans and their need for clothing...
So instead of finishing my job, like my wolf so desperately wants, I watch the bite's swelling go down to nothing, and I shift. My human form is surrounded by a lavender colored mist, circling my body until it's caught in the wind and pulled away. I'm not easily effected by harsh weather, but Cody is, and his lips begin to shade a sickening blue.
We should get inside.
~CODY'S POV~
Darkness. It's all a know at this moment, leaving me to face nothing itself. What accompanies this you ask?
Cold.
The worst mixture of them all. Who would wish for coldness, or darkness? Not me. For all I imagine now is death.
I know what you might be thinking. You wanted death, didn't you? You were the i***t who prayed for your own death to come. But...not like this. I wanted to experience it in reality, and not face it in my mind. In here is where it scares me the most. My mind plays tricks on me. It's telling me that I'll be okay...that Mike is here...
What a fool I am.
Fool...Fool...I would describe myself as nothing less than a fool. I remember my first boyfriend. Todd. Oh, what an attractive male he was. Such a dork, with his shaggy brown locks, and baby eyes. Had the body of a god, yet still had time to do his homework and get a job. Every night he'd call me, telling me how much he'll miss me while he's sitting alone, doing paperwork. I believed him of course.
I was a sucker for those eyes of his.
But day by day I got more suspicious. Why did he spend so long doing paperwork, yet always looked fresh and bright in the mornings? Why did he have weekends in the office too? How come he never complained...or bought anything with the money he earned?
Even though I had all these questions, I never asked him about it. In fact, I just savored the mere hours we could spend together. That is until...the night. He didn't call me, and I soon realized he had left his phone at my place. So me being the amazing boyfriend that I am, walked a few blocks to bring it to his house. Strangely enough, his car was still in his driveway. Hint #1. I must have stood in the yard for 10 minutes, taking deep breaths and telling myself it wasn't what it seemed like. He wouldn't lie to me. Todd loved me...didn't he?
So I shook away those thoughts, and opened the door with my spare key to his apartment. The first thing I noticed when I walked in...was that the hall light was on. Hint #2. I shakily made my way up the hall, thinking 'Oh, he probably just forgot to turn it off'. Seems reasonable, right?
But this made my heart sink to my stomach. Right outside his bedroom door was a shirt...one that wasn't his size... Hint #3. Now, remember how I told you how good looking Todd was? He had a pretty muscular build, and most people could say the same. But that one shirt...that one lime green tank...said it all. It was made for a slim male, probably even smaller than what I could fit in at the time. Why would Todd own one of those?
All my questions were answered when I opened the door. I won't even speak of what was seen by me that night. A fool is what I was. A fool is what I am.
"Cody."
Fool.
"Cody."
It's not real.
"Cody."
No! Stop trying to open your eyes!
"Baby..."
Stop!
I'm suddenly blinded by intense brightness as my eyes snap open.
"Gah-" I turn my head to the side, squeezing my lashes together tightly in an attempt to block out the lighting. After a few seconds of adjustment, I turn towards the person who was continuously whispering my name. The way they said it was spine tingling. I had only heard it pronounced this way once before. But by who?
"Cody..."
A gasp is caught in my throat as I lock gazes with those silver orbs.
"M-Mike...?"
"Cody."
"...Mike..."
"Cody..."
I shakily lift my arms, letting those muscular ones wrap around my waist. I feel so...weak...yet so protected. The male I had been waiting to see for half a year now has finally come to my rescue. But still after all this time-
I have nothing to say. I have no speech prepared...no words to make him magically fall in love with me...nothing...in fact, all I can manage to say is his name. I'm perfectly okay with that too. As tears cascade down my face, coating his bare shoulders, I sob his name without shame.
Wait a second-
B-Bare?
Is he...naked?!
I shove at his chest as hard as I can, which isn't hard at all. "You pervert! Don't hold me in your lap when you're naked!" I screech, face flaring up in a crimson shade. This only causes Mike to flash a smile, holding me tighter.
"Not exactly the reaction I was looking for...but seeing you blush was well worth it." He purrs, nuzzling my hair. After all he put me through he randomly shows up, not to mention naked, he acts as if we're perfectly fine?!
Well...
I'm just going to savor this while it lasts...
