Reborn

Chapter Nineteen

I woke up to a warm body pressed against my back, their soft breathing in my ear. I rolled over and came face to face with Damien. I smiled softly. I leant forward and gently put my lips against his. It took a few seconds but he woke up and started responding. I pulled away and rested my forehead on his. 

"Good morning." I said with a smile. He opened his eyes and smiled back.

"It certainly is." I pulled me against him again and cuddled into me.

"Now I'm not complaining, but what was with the sudden change of heart?" He asked. 

"I thought I went too far. I kept thinking that I pushed too much and that I'd lost you again. I was heartbroken." I said quietly. It's true. The thought of having lost him again broke me. I'm just as surprised as you are. He sighed.

"Honestly? You almost did. I was starting to feel like you were toying with me because you genuinely hated me and you didn't actually want me." I looked away from him, feeling ashamed.

"At first I did. I hated you and everything you ever did to me. I wanted you to suffer and when I had had enough I was going to leave." I looked up at his wide eyes. 

"But you grew on me." I added with a smile and kissed his nose. 

"Good. I don't want you to leave me. Again." He nuzzled into my neck and kissed my mark, making me gasp.

"I don't plan on it." I can't leave now. We snuggled in a comfortable silence for a little while before we decided that we have to get up. He's got to train the fighters. I gave him a chaste kiss before leaving and going to my room so I could shower. I stepped in and relished in the hot water.

Wish I could be in there with you. I yelped in surprise when I heard Damien's voice in my head. I completely forgot about the mate mindlink. 

Why? There's nothing interesting going on in here. I said cheekily. 

You know damn well why I want to be in there. I shut him out. Damn horny wolf. I finished up and got dressed in my usual clothes. I made my way downstairs and went outside to find Ryan talking to the fighters. He spotted me and ran over. He was about to say something when he saw my neck. A blinding smile took over his face.

"No way!" He yelled. He jumped forward and pulled me into a tight hug. I just laughed and hugged him back.

"Now you can't leave! Hell yeah!" He let go and started jumping around. He's honestly a child. I felt an arm snake around my waist.

"What's he so happy about?" Damien asked as I leant my head on his arm.

"My mark." Damien chuckled. He walked over to Ryan and I laughed when Ryan jumped on him, hugging him the same way he hugged me. They laughed together and walked over to the fighters. I sat on the grass in the shade and watched as they trained. Well I mostly watched Damien. His glistening body in combat was... something else. 

I know that you said you had finished tormenting him, but right now it would just be too easy.  Jordan suggested.

What did you have in mind? I asked her. I heard her chuckle. 

Make him and his wolf all hot and flustered. It'll be fun. She was so evil. But she was right. It would definitely be fun and it's not like it'd be hurting him. Let's go. I waited until he was sparring one on one with one of the fighters.

Damien. I said through the mind link. It sounded like a soft, breathless moan. His head whipped around to look at me. I sent him a small wave. The fighter took the chance and punched him in the jaw. I gasped before laughing. Damien narrowed his eyes at me.

That wasn't nice. He said sternly but I could tell he wasn't actually angry. I stuck my tongue out at him.

Better put that tongue away before I get to it. My jaw dropped at his boldness. A wide grin made its way on to his face at my reaction. 

Looks like we've been challenged. Jordan laughed. Oh its on, pretty boy. I know what he wants most right now. I conjured up a false image of us mating and waited. He looked at me as he got ready to fight again, giving me a warning to behave. I smiled innocently. He started fighting. He got so close to winning when I sent him the image. His eyes grew so wide I thought they were going to fall out.

"Jack!" He yelled my name. He turned and started walking towards me. I quickly got up and started running. I ran into the pack house, him close behind me. I ran up the stairs and into my bedroom. I tried to lock it but it was pushed open before I could. I squealed when he tackled me on to the bed. He straddled my hips and pinned my arms above my head. 

"You are nothing but trouble." He said with a playful growl. 

"Yeah but you love me." His eyes widened. I lifted my head and pressed my lips against his. His hands travelled down to my waist and I quickly took his shirt off. He sat up and returned the favour. 

"Oh my god! Close the door!" We looked over to see Ryan standing in the doorway with his hands over his eyes. Damien growled at him. I pat his chest and sat up, pushing him aside. 

"Ryan get out." I said. He swiftly turned and ran away. I looked at Damien. I cupped his face in my hand.

"Maybe next time."
