I didn't like that I made her nervous. I was supposed to protect her. I was supposed to make her feel safe. I took a step back from her in case I was too close.
"You did lose your magic for a while, right?" she asked, taking a step closer to me.
My wolf clawed at my insides, desperate for release. Begging me to move closer to her. I wanted to feel her warm skin under my hands and my lips on hers. I wanted to slide my cock inside her. I wanted to claim her.
Swallowing, I tried to ignore my desires. "Yes. I couldn't shift until that day in class. When I felt like you were in danger. I had to respond."
"Why?" she asked, moving closer to me again.
I could feel her body heat from here. She was too close. I was going to lose control.
"Why did you do that and then stop talking to me?" She moved closer again. We were nearly touching now.
I could smell her arousal. She was just as drawn to me as I was to her.
"Raven, I can't," I said.
She didn't respond, she stood there, staring at me with those green eyes. I couldn't take it anymore.
With a growl, I advanced on her, pushing her up against the wall and boxing her in with my arms.
I didn't wait. My body took over. All I could think about was making her mine.
