I stared at him thoughtfully as he took my hand in his. This was new to me, he was the first man in years to touch my hand other than Charles. Except he didn't look at me with power hungry eyes as Charles did. Instead Brian was sweet, his eyes filled with young vigor I hadn't seen in a while. “Elizabeth, if you keep staring at me I’m going to suspect you have feelings for me.” “What if I do?” I asked him. He wore a white button down shirt and dark denim jeans. His shirt was tight enough for me to take a long view of his magnificent abs. His eyes stared at me, there brown depths penetrating mine. “Hmm, then we will have to do something about it won't we.” His arms touched my shoulders pushing me against my bedroom door. His hand touched my chin bringing it upward to see him better. His honey colored eyes took possession of mine. Brian's long thin nose and full red lips; the cute pink scar that traveled from his chin to his nose. Our foreheads touched I took in the scent of pine and soil. It smelled fresh as if he had just come back from running. He smiled obviously taking in my scent as I did his. This was one amazing werewolf, had I been so blind to it all along? His hand slid down my hair pulling it from its carefully placed ponytail, making my brown hair fall to my shoulder in curls. His lips met mine moving gently at first, then picking up with passion. I moaned against his lips. I could feel my blood stirring at his touch. His tongue trailed my bottom lip asking for entrance, which I so gladly gave him. What the hell are you doing Elizabeth! I felt Charles's anger through the bond. I ignored him raking my hand through this gorgeous man's black hair. Are you with another man? I feel your arousal Elizabeth! He continued to prattle on and on inside my head. “Do you want to take this..” he trailed off as I realized what he meant. I smiled willing to do anything to piss off Charles. I wanted him to feel what I had been feeling for decades. I pulled Brian's belt loop towing him over to my bed. “This still counts as watching me.” I assured. “Well, let me watch you carefully.”

COMMENTS?

I stared at the ceiling more than amazed at myself. This wolf was an animal and I loved how that go my blood pumping. If Esmerelda could see me now! I laughed silently rubbing my hand up and down Brian's chest. This was supposed to be forbidden for me to ever lie with a wolf. I had to remind myself that these were newer times than when I had grown up. Then again, was this a mother like thing to do? I mean my son was down stairs along with Charity. Well then again my son was way over the senior citizen age in human years. I heard a deep growl rumble from Brian's chest. “What's wrong?” I asked sitting up. “Vampires.” He said lowly before getting out of bed. “Why?” He looked at me with a solemn expression before looking elsewhere. “The royal guards?” I asked. “Yes, I have to go. Please stay inside Elizabeth.” I nodded watching him as he pulled on his shirt. Gosh was I this starved for a man's touch. “Please be safe.” “Yes.” You are killing me Elizabeth. Charles groaned. I could tell he was probably running his hands through his hair. I love you, please come back. If you are trying to teach me a lesson than please you have your revenge. Just make the pain stop Elizabeth please. He pleaded. “If you want the pain to stop, then find a witch and break the bond.” I refuse to break our bond. You belong to me as I do to you. If you have, any doubts I can take them away just as I have done before. “You liar, you took more from me than just my doubts!” I yelled a little too loud. “Are you alright Elizabeth?” Brian asked coming from the bathroom. I shook my head as I watched him leave. I never harmed you physically or mentally, I only influenced your anger. Otherwise, it was just you. I felt tears sting my eyes. “Get out of my head! Leave me alone.” I growled. I will leave you alone, but I love you. When this war is over, I will come to find you. We will live together peacefully and have an heir to the throne. “Charity will have the throne!” I felt his presence slip from my mind. I stood from my bed going over to the window. I bathed myself in the moon's glow. A blur passed my vision going into the castle, into my son's room. I smiled; she was just as clever as her mother was. Hopefully this time they can be together properly.
