“That’s where you are wrong, you are mine and I won’t have you looking at any of my brothers.” The fury coursing through my body at the thought that she finds Haldor attractive has me wanting to commit murder.
“That’s rich coming from you, what do you think this is? I saw you with a woman on your lap and you are telling me that I can’t find someone attractive. Well I hate to tell you this but we are in the twentieth century buster and what is good for the goose is good for the gander.” She takes a step closer to me now, if she only knew how close I am to showing her just how much she belongs to me she would keep well away from me. Besides, we had sex once, it’s not as if we married.”
Those words snap my control. She thinks that all we did was have sex. I didn’t want this bond in the first place, but now she is mine and I will be damned if she thinks that she can carry on acting single. Well I will show her how wrong she is, she will have no doubt in her mind who she belongs to and she will never doubt it again.
One minute I am standing by the door and the next I have her flat on her back on the bed, only now realizing that all she was wearing downstairs was my t-shirt. “You will never walk in front of my brothers like this, what the fuck, you are nearly naked.”
“Oh please, I have more clothes on than your dear friend had.” At the mention of Monica again I lower my head taking her lips in a blistering kiss, but she fights me only fuelling my anger more. She turns her head, but I raise my hand and turn her head back and then my lips are kissing her in an intense, no-nonsense way. Her hands try to push me away, but I don’t budge and continue kissing her until she finally runs out of steam, she’s not kissing me back but she’s not pushing me away either.
I don’t know how long I kiss her for but we are both breathless when I finally lift my head as I move to her neck kissing her just behind her ear, my hand has made its way under the t-shirt and is now stroking her nipple.
She’s not participating, but she’s not fighting it either, I can tell by the reaction of her body that she’s enjoying my touch, but she is fighting it. My other hand moves between her legs, stroking over her panties. At first, she closes her legs which has me moving my body between her legs to keep them open and then I am slipping the panties to the side as I slip my finger between her folds. Suddenly she is pushing at me again, her hands at my shoulders.
“You will not touch me after you have just been touching another woman,” she says angrily.
“I was not touching her,” I state as I lift my head and look her in the eye.
“Monica was making coffee, when she brought mine, she sat on my lap, that is it.” I state.
“That is, it? Really, ” she says, “does that mean that you have women sitting on your lap a lot.” Her tone is sarcastic as she glares at me.
“You are my mate, the only woman now for me,” I state and see the look of disbelief on her face as she glares at me.
“I’m not your mate, and you lie,” she snaps, “I would just have to turn around and you would have someone else. I will not sleep with someone that can’t keep it in his pants.” I bring my fist down on the bed angrily. This woman can frustrate me like no one has ever been able to do.
“I will never lie to you; you are my mate and as such you are my other half. I wouldn’t be able to touch another woman even if I wanted to. That is just how we Elemental’s are.” I sit back on my haunches, looking down at her. “Once we find our mate, that is it, you are the only woman for me, and I will be the only man for you.”
She grunts as she turns her head away irritatingly which has me leaning forward and once again taking hold of her jaw with my hand and turning her head until she is once again facing me. “Do you understand me?”
“Do all your women believe in this story? Because I will tell you now that I don’t believe one word that you are saying and as soon as I can, I will be out of here.” The thought of her out there alone has my heart feeling as if it is being squeezed.
“There are no more women, and you belong with me,” I state as I let go of her jaw and get up off the bed, “You don’t understand yet what I am saying but you will see that what I say is true, you will feel the pull as much as I do and you will realize that we need to be together because we are meant to be.” I am standing next to the bed, my hands low on my waist as I look down at her.
“Besides, you can’t leave as the men that had you will be looking for you. They want every woman that has a gift and they won’t give up if you are unprotected again.” She sits up, her arms crossing over her chest as she looks up at me.
“What’s the difference, it seems that I’m just as locked up here,” she says angrily, which has me throwing my hands up in irritation.
“Does it look like you are locked up? You haven’t been well woman, what did you want us to do?” With those words I turn and make my way towards the door, “I suggest you rest, and when you wake up you can come to the front and get breakfast, you will see that we are not keeping you locked up.” I walk out closing the door behind me, this woman can ignite my anger like no one else can but she does the same with everything, my passion for her is blazing but I will not fight with her any longer today.
She will realize that what I say is true, and that she is mine. Making my way to the bar I find most of the men there already. When I enter, they all look around at me, the question in everyone’s mind evident. “What the fuck was that for?” Haldor asks as I approach.
“I don’t want you anywhere near my woman,” I state, I know that I am being unreasonable but knowing that Anastasia finds him attractive has my anger ready to explode.
“I don’t want your woman, it’s not my fucking fault that she thinks I’m handsome.” I glare at his statement taking a step closer to him, I know that Haldor would never try anything with my mate, but my possessiveness is riding me.
“Enough,” Tor says as he walks towards both of us, “we have never had a fight among us because of a woman and we are not going to start now.” He looks directly at me as he continues, “do you understand Ulrich? Sort your shit out and then I want peace among you.” I nod, because I know that he is right, but I have never felt like this about anyone. I knew that finding my mate would be a problem, I didn’t want this but now I will kill anyone that threatens to take it away.
