away.” I huffed not really meaning it, making him laugh again. Then he slid his body further down and leant his head on one hand with his elbow to the bed. This was enough of an action to tell me he wanted to talk about things. I was silent as he looked down at me and it didn’t take long before he broke me.
“I may have overreacted,” I admitted and he raised one eyebrow no doubt mocking me.
“Really? You overreact…never.” Oh yes, he was definitely mocking me.
“Oi!” I shouted smacking him playfully on the arm, happy now we were at least making light of the situation and no longer arguing about it. But Draven and I arguing, then ending up having hot steamy sex usually went hand in hand. Not that I was complaining as we could both be quite hot headed and if this was one way of letting off that steam before actually being able to talk about it in an orderly manner then so be it…if needs must and all that, I thought giggling to myself, exhausted after my third orgasm.
“Okay so what can I say, I saw her and freaked out.” And it was the truth.
“I would have liked the chance to prepare you but her return was unexpected and therefore I was not granted the blessing of time to do so.”
“Then why did you tell Zagan you were ready for me if you weren’t?” I asked thinking this was odd, until I received his answer that was.
“Because she came to me moments before you walked through the door. I didn’t know what to do other than restrain you…and well, we both know how well that worked out don’t we?” he said sounding angrier at himself than with me.
“Ah, well that would explain that but I think it’s time to tell me who she is…I mean really is because I gotta tell you, the sight of her freaks me the Hell out Draven!”
“I know love,” he replied with sympathetic eyes that held just the slightest amount of guilt, a guilt he didn’t need to feel.
“First you should know that she is someone I trust in…deeply.” When I gave him a look that said it all there wasn’t much he could say to argue against the reasons behind it. Not when the amount of people who had betrayed us seemed to be mounting and time became something to dread as old enemies seemed to be worming their way out of the woodwork getting ready to strike.
“Please know that after all we have been through I do not make that statement lightly,” he added before I could speak my thoughts aloud.
“Okay, so you trust her, I get it but… should I?” I asked knowing this question would most likely go straight over his head as ‘the green eyed monster’ was still a fairly new concept for him. He was more of a ‘My woman!’ or ‘Touch her and die!’ kinda guy, so sitting quietly on the sidelines and having no choice but to sit through the jealousy wasn’t something he understood all too well.
Although maybe I was wrong as he had to deal with the whole Dickhead Alex thing.
“I am not following.” Nope, not wrong, I thought groaning to myself. Also the memory of him attacking Lucius at the council meeting hit me like a thunderbolt as I was still unsure half the time what was real or just a dream from the last nine months.
“You attacked Lucius!” I shouted and it was as if something else finally clicked.
“You’re jealous!” Trust him to get it now I thought bitterly.
“No I am not and don’t change the subject,” I snapped and he laughed at me saying,
“Why not, you just changed the subject to that blood sucking…”
“Eh…Draven, kettle…black,” I reminded him and when I got his confused look I stupidly thought that the next thing the conversation needed were charade style actions. So I first did the kissing a fake person action then moved on to the classic ‘I want to suck your blood’ action, pretending I then had fangs.
This accomplished two things, the first was Draven looking at me as though I had lost my mind and then Draven losing his mind by roaring with laughter, close to the point of
