Damian watches his naked mate run franticly into his bathroom. "What are you doing?" he calls out still in the same spot he was when he told her.
"I'm taking a shower! What do you think I'm doing?" She yells back, then the sound of the water follows. "Go get Blair for me please" she asks sounding panicked.
"What do you need Blair fo-" he started to say, but Lena popped her head from the side of the bathroom door. "Damian stop with the questions, and go get her" she hisses.
Damien stood there a moment stunned at first, because no ever talked to him that way before. He was the one telling ours around him what to do, but now he was the one being order around. The thing that surprised him most was that it was turning him on.
"Damian" Lena snaps catching his attention again. "Stop staring at me like that, and go get Blair" she urges, but then realizes his wolf was taking over. 'Not now' she thought to herself. His eyes were almost pitch black making his primal instincts kick it. Lena would be lying if she said she wasn't affected by it.
Damians commonsense was now clouded by the hunger to devour his mate sexually. Just like last night he began to walk over her like a predator, and nothing around him matter at that moment. The only thing that had him and his wolf undivided attention, was the exquisite naked she-wolf hiding behind the bathroom door.
"Damian" Lena pronounces slowly backing away from the door. "Did you forget my father is on his way over here" She reminded in the same tone.
Stopping right in front of her, both breathing heavily. Damian studies her for a brief moment before he reaches out, grabbing ahold of her head with his right hand. The other sneaks around her waist as he lowers his face to her.
"Mine" he growls deeply that Lena could feel the rumble in his chest. She didn't get time to respond, because Damian pulls her in capturing her lips to his. The possessive way he was kissing her had Lena mind go blank as well as forgetting her father was on his way.
That was still a banging at the bedroom door had that passionate fog disappearing.
"Damn you, and your wolf" Lena scowls pushing out of his iron like hold.
"They'll go away" He advises pulling her back to him.
"And so will you, go get Blair for me" She points out trying to get out of his hold, but he wasn't having it.
"Damian Shaw, so help me. If you don't let me go and do what I asked so I can get showered before my father and goddess knows who else gets here. I promise you I'll never let you touch me again" She warns sternly.
"You wouldn't be so cruel" Damian frowns.
"Do you want to test me, and find out?" She counters raising an eyebrow at him.
"Please, I need to get as much protein as I can in my system with the way you make me work in the bed-"Ashton started to comment back, but Blair cuts him off.
"Don't you dare finish that sentence" She hisses throwing a piece of her bacon at him. Ashton just catches the piece of meat smirking at her before taking a bite. This had Lena in a fits of laughter watching them interacting like middle schoolers.
Soon Lena's laughter was cut off when her father stormed in the dining area fuming. Her father stood there red face at 6'3, and 225 pounds of solid muscle. He scanned the room with those sea green eyes that all warriors had, and landed on three set of curious eyes.
"YOU" he raged pointing at his daughter. Lena's spin stiffen at the tone he used, and the look in his eye that said 'You're never leaving my sight again'. "GET IN THE CAR! WE ARE LEAVING" her order through clench teeth.
"Why? I'm having breakfast with Blair?" Lena asks trying to control her voice.
"Hi Uncle Jared" Blair spoke like it was just like any other day.
"Blair, I hope everything is going well for you" Jared responded changing his tone a little. Even though he was her uncle, and cared for her dearly. He couldn't make her leave without her parents' permission, and at the moment he couldn't get ahold of them.
