her gaze and pushed the leftover food around her plate, until he dropped the chair back down, and put his hand on her fingers, stilling the frantic movement. A surge of heat and electricity shot up his arm, and Nikita inhaled sharply and tried to pull her hand away. When he wouldn't let her, she bit her lip, and his wolf snarled.
    "Don't do that. The only marks I want to see on your body are the ones I put there."
    Now, why the fuck had he said that? Instead of continuing to pull away, his little human smiled, and finally looked at him again.
    "Don’t say things like that unless you mean them. I'm not one of your Barbie doll girlfriends, you know. You've never shown the slightest bit of interest in me. So don't think that I'm an easy lay, just because I've fallen in your lap, so to speak."
    "When exactly did I give the impression that you would be an easy lay, squirt?" His annoyance at her assumption made his voice gruffer than he intended it to be, and she flinched.
    "You didn't. I'm sorry." Her answer was barely above a whisper and tugged at his heart strings.
    "Come here."
    He let go off her hand and opened his arms wide, in the age old offer of comfort, and like a frightened foal she complied. She burrowed into him as though her life depended on it, and he pulled her close and simply held her, his wolf for once content at having his mate in his arms.
    "What's this all about, squirt?"
     

Chapter Four
     
    Surrounded by Raoul, his thundering heart beat under her ear, the world narrowed to just this moment in his arms, and her worries flew away. He stroked lazy circles over her back, careful to not to touch the areas marked by the claws, and she tensed.
    "Will I have scars?"
    He stilled his movement, and his deep sigh reverberated through her. Wordlessly he picked her up and carried her back into the bedroom, and she blinked when he deposited her in front of the full length mirror he had set up in one corner. From this angle she had a clear view of the bed behind them, and heat rose in her cheeks when it dawned on her why he had that mirror there. He wasn't a vain man, so she'd wondered why it was there. He cupped her chin and raised her head up until her gaze connected with his in the mirror.
    "What do you see when you look into the mirror, girl?"
    The way he said girl sent moisture seeping past her pussy lips , and his nostrils flared, as though he could smell how wet she was.
    His fingers dug into her skin with just enough force to focus her on him.
    "Well, answer me. I want to know why you have such a goddamn low opinion of yourself. What. Do. You. See?"
    "I-I…" Nikita flinched when his grip grew painful , and he slid his hand down to her throat, and squeezed. She pulled back in a desperate attempt to draw air into her lungs, panic clouding her brain for that terrifying second until she realized that she could indeed breathe, as long as she stayed pinned to him.
    He raised an eyebrow and cocked his head waiting for her answer, and he released his hold on her slightly when she swallowed hard.
    "I see me. Just little old me. I'm nothing special."
    Raoul waited and simply continued to look at her, holding her captive with his eyes alone, until every nerve ending tingled, and she squeezed her thighs together to relieve the insistent throbbing in her clit.
    "Don't even think about it, girl. Trust me, my fingers are itching to put you over my knee, and to spank that perfect ass until it's red raw."
    Heaven help her, those words should not turn her on so much that her juices were now trickling down her inner thigh. He was bound to notice , and she screwed her eyes shut so she wouldn’t have to witness it in the mirror. Instantly he moved. One hand wrapped in her hair he pulled her head up with an almost feral growl, and kicked her legs apart with his foot.
    "I said, look at yourself in the mirror and tell me what you see."
    Her scalp stung, and the sharp pain brought tears to her eyes.
    "Please, Raoul…"
    The slap to her
