The Pentagram Child(146)

“AHH!” I made a sound of frustrated rage and ripped off my mask throwing it across the floor towards the door. If only she had just heard the rest of what I was going to say then she would…

“I tried to do that with mine but it wouldn’t work.”

“Keira!” I shouted her name in shock and she shrugged her shoulders. Then told me the only words I needed to hear…



“I promised you I wouldn’t run.”





Keira





Chapter 35

Done Waiting.





I watched as Draven lifted his head and he said my name as if he had just battled the greatest of wars and come out of it far from the victor. He looked like a man lost and unsure of what his next step should be. In fact the sight took the breath from me in a whoosh that forced my hand to my chest.

“I promised you I wouldn’t run.” I said knowing these were the only words that needed to be said right now. Because the words I had come here with had left me in sight of the man I loved looking worried and broken. No, this wasn’t the picture of a man who had been in the throes of passion with his ex or even someone who had even ever considered it.

No, this was nothing short of a man in despair.

Suddenly he stood quickly and before I had chance to say a word he stormed over to me like a man on a mission. I swear my heartbeat fell into a rhythm that matched each of his determined steps. He came right up to me breathing heavy and I watched in silence as his chest rose and fell with his mounting tension.

“Draven..?” I whispered but his next movement stole my question as he took my face in his hands and said,

“I’m done waiting!” And then he pushed me back against the door and ripped my own mask from me. He threw it to the floor along with his and kissed me like he was trying to imprint his soul onto mine. I briefly heard the crunch of his own mask that he must have stepped on to get closer to me. Well he obviously didn’t care one bit considering he didn’t stop. No, instead he took me further. He took me deeper under his spell and one that was labelled the past.

I felt the kiss fire my nerves and he must have felt the same as I could feel him shuddering against me. His hands found mine and he linked his fingers with my smaller ones before lifting them above my head and pinning me there. I could barely believe this was actually happening. It was like so many cruel dreams of mine all coming together and taking it to a whole new level. It made me want to cry out to the Gods and beg for this to be real, for them to just let us be together. It made me want to battle his world and mine just for the right to hold on to this moment and keep it where it belonged. I just wanted him with every staggered breath I took and every lit cell in my body.

“Draven…” I said breathlessly as his lips tore from mine just long enough to allow me the needed air. He transferred both my hands into one of his to continue to hold me to the door. It was as if he feared I would get away from him if he gave me the chance. Of course this action also freed up one of his hands.

“You won’t need this for the rest of the night.” He said as he first ran his fingertips across my collarbone and then along the stunning necklace he’d given me. I drew in a shocked breath as he snapped it from my neck but he didn’t give me time to worry about it being broken as he fixed the links before dropping it to the floor.

He ran his fingertips slowly down my cheek as his kiss softened slightly, teasing my lips and biting gently. Then I moaned in his mouth and that gentle hand suddenly gripped my neck tightly forcing my head back to the door. It was such an aggressive move I was surprised that it didn’t hurt but the shock of it made my clit pulse in response.

“You’re my girl,” he growled low into my cheek after using his thumb on my chin to turn my head to the side. Then he opened his mouth as if he just wanted to bite me but thought better of his instincts and kissed me instead. His lips kissed their way up my jaw line and up to my ear.

“Say it.” He ordered making me moan again and close my eyes.

“Say it, Keira…say it now!” I didn’t need to ask what it was that he needed to hear as I felt it coming from him in waves of possessiveness. I let my head fall back further onto the door glad that I was being held up by one strong arm above me. Then I let my mouth fall open on first a blissful sigh before speaking the truthful words he needed to hear,

“I’m yours.” As soon as I uttered what felt like a confession his hands left me. I opened my eyes in shock and for an awful moment I thought this was my rejection. I was just about to protest when one look at the animalistic lust in his purple eyes and I knew it was far from over…no, now it was only the beginning. This was proven when he grabbed handfuls of material at the top of my dress and in one swift action completely tore it in two until it barely hung limp from my hips.
