His Possession

Prettier than a flower

MILES'S POV

--

She's so headstrong , it makes my tones tingle with joy . " Come on ." I shrug , I don't understand what the big deal is . If she can swim , she must have loved it at some time . " I said no ." the expression on her face holds no interest to the pool , but the way her blue eyes sparkle as she watches the water . I could tell that her heart desired it , but she was resisting . " Fine ." I shrug , fully knowing that I will get her into this pool , maybe not right now or later , but I will -- some time .

I watch as she turns her back to me , the flow of her white dress swinging and she looks at the flowers , admiring them . I clear my throat and she turns back to me , looking like the prettiest flower in the garden .

" Ready for breakfast ?" I ask as I absentmindedly hold out my hand . I freeze , feeling slightly stupid as she just blankly stares at the palm of my hand . " I don't think so ." she shakes her head , but I don't miss the small smile tugging at her lips before she turns to the door . I bite my bottom lip before lowering my hand and I follow her back to the door . She turns , looking back over her shoulder , her eyes flicking over the room of flowers and I have never been more proud of my indoor flower garden . I never showed anyone this , but when I woke up this morning , I felt the urge to show her , to impress her , but it still did not feel enough . It doesn't feel like she sees me anything more than her kidnapper , the person holding her hostage in a tiny room in the basement of my mansion . She struts down the stairs like she owns the place and I don't mind it one single bit .

" In here ?" she asks as she points at the dining room door and I smile as I stand next to her , pushing the door open for her . " Yep ." her eyes lock with mine and for a moment I felt like I was floating on the waters of her ocean blue orbs and she blinks , breaking our eye contact and she lowers her head walking in . She was about to just sit down and I clear my throat , narrowing my eyes at her . " What are you doing ?" I ask curiously . " Sitting down ." she shrugs and I know I shouldn't get mad , but I do . " You can't just sit down , you have to wait for me to tell you that you can ." I grit out , my dominant side crawling through the cracks . " What ?" she scoffs , as if she could not believe what I was saying . " I mean it Peyton ." I grit out .

She scoffs before walking towards the door , her hips swaying side to side . I use my vamp speed and make my way to the front of her . She freezes on the spot , her eyes fluttering open and shut , her face going bleak as if she has seen a ghost .

" How .. where .. how did you get here so fast ?" her head turns to the side as she glances over her shoulder and I smirk at her . " Well seeing you walk away made me anxious , call it adrenaline ." I shrug and she frowns at me , shaking her head . " No , that was .. that wasn't normal ." the baffled look on her face was making me feel superior , I wish I could tell her who and what I am , but I don't think she could handle the information .

" Well maybe you're hallucinating because the lack of nutrition ." I deadpan , I don't need her asking unwanted questions just yet .

" Are you calling me crazy right now ?" she bellows , her eyes narrowed into slits as she glares at me . " Shut up and sit down ." I bellow back , I hate it when someone yells at me . Her eyes widen , her lips parting . " No ." she glares at me in the most irking way . Without thinking , I raise my hand and my fingers wrap around her slim throat , her eyes widening as she steps back in fright . " I said sit down ." I grit out , the sunshine feeling she gives me fading into dust , my dark and angry side surfacing like a floaty in water . Her hand wraps around my wrist , the warmth of her touch making a shiver run down my spine and I could feel a erection growing in my pants . Her eyes look as if they could pop out at any minute , her lips parted and a light squeal escapes her full lips .

It's funny how the softest sound can snap you out of your darkest places and I suddenly let go , realising that I wasn't just holding onto her to keep her in place , but I was so angry because she raised her voice , I was actually strangling her , cruching her windpipe underneath my strong hold on her throat .

I notice the red marks on her perfect skin and my heart ache's at the sight as she takes deep breaths .

I try to shake the hard breathing feeling off , it felt like it was sitting right on my chest and I look past her , looking straight at the table . " Just sit down Peyton ." I breathe out and I don't miss the way she nervously gulps and then looks over her shoulder to her seart . She nods , slowly backing away from me , her eyes fixed on the floor before she turns and walks to her seat .

I strut back to my seat and pull the chair out , the screeching sound reminding me of her squeal and I suck my bottom lip into my mouth , biting at the soft skin before taking my seat .

I watch her shaky hand raise up to her neck , her fingers sliding over the red finger prints that are mine and I avert my eyes to the door as waiters stride inside , trays in their hands and I couldn't find myself to look at her as we eat .

She scrapes her scrambled eggs around with her fork , picking at it and then putting it down somewhere else . Her toast is cold and the bacon lost it's crips as that too cooled down . The mushroom's sauce spreaded around the plate and all she could do was stare at the food .

" Aren't you going to eat ?" I raise a brow at her . She doesn't look up at me , only sucking in her bottom lip as she holds the fork still on one place . I clear my throat and she puts the fork down , resting her hands on her lap . " Can I go back to my room ?" she breathes out in a mere whisper and I bite down on my teeth , she doesn't want to eat , nor look at me .

Did I hurt her that bad ?

" If I say yes , will you take the food with you and eat ?"

Since she got here , she has been reluctant to eat . I don't know how she's no anorexic .

" Yeah ." she breathes out as she shrugs and I nod , " Fine ."

I grab out my phone and text Elaine .

Me : Come get her and take her back to her room .

Elaine : Coming sir .

Within a minute , Elaine opens the door , standing in the door as she stares at Peyton .

I look over at Peyton as she stares down at her plate , her fork on it and her fingers trail around the edge of it . I clear my throat , " You can go ." I croak out and I can not stop looking at her neck as she grabs her plate , stand up and walk off . My eyes trail over the length of her body , her white dress complementing her glowing skin and dark hair . She looks amazing and I just ruin everything . Everytime we have a moment , I ruin it by getting mad and I hurt her , I physically hurt her and I bet she hates me .

Why can't I control myself more ? Never in my life have I ever hated how I am wired .
