"Tomorrow.. tomorrow we go on a rescue attempt, we - we are gonna get the rest of his pard.. save them Asher. We are going to save them from Raina, bring them here."
She lies there, not crying any more, talking quietly, her head on the sheet below her. "Jason can't go. So cover story is that .. oh no, this is gonna sound bad .. cover story is that Gabe took me for his mate. It's the easiest one to explain the mark of his neck."
"My scars are gone already - and this will look days old, it will have healed by daylight - and you know Raina, Asher. She will want to see the evidence herself."
"Had to be this way, had to do it - my back again. Only way we could save them."
Stated softly as he gently took her chin in his hand, turning her to look at him.
"I don't own you but you are still mine, ma petite. You are still marked as mine. But it is your life, not mine. But you do know that any master vampires there will know you are marked, don't you? They will sense it."
my back still, my choice Asher - I we had a story for that too.. We were going to say that - since it'a a social call - and a ball that night, we were going to say that .."
She closes her eyes to his gaze "..that I had pleased my master and he had allowed me to go. And I was gonna simply be mysterious and aloof and say that I don't have permission to say who you are"
You're just going to leave? Just gonna walk away? She pushed herself slowly the bed, and raised up, finally able to get up at last - a hiss of pain when she attempted to straighten up. Biting her lip in pain, she took tottering, uneven steps toward him. Carefully, one foot at a time.
"I don't want you to go Asher, why are you leaving? Immortal beloved, please don't go.. She reached him finally, put a hand out to him.
Freezing at her words, wincing. Feeling a heat within, the need to cry hard within. Wanting to keep walking. To not see her like this. To not think of that man in the next room. What he had done to her. That she had been willing in his arms. He couldn't think of that. Just of her. His lady.
Turning, not a word as he pulled her to him, gathering her into his arms. His mouth hard on hers, bruising, taking the kiss without a thought. And then his words, in her mind.
I thought you dying! I heard you scream and the blood and the fear and it was Julianna all over again. My love stolen from me when I wasn't there!
For a moment it feels like he is going to leave - just walk out..but then she is in his arms and he his holding her again, kissing her again.. and his words - his words.. No, no beloved, don't think that, no. I'm not dying, not .. His lips hard on hers, hurting, hungry.
I will not leave you, beloved, we are together, never again, not again - not you, won't ever leave you..
Letting her feel the love, the need, and the fear that possessed him in that moment. Holding her tight, kissing her feverently as he let it wash over her, followed by just desire, just love, just her. His.
She stilled then nearly burst into tears again, feeling his love for her, his anguish and overwhelming fear for her safety, and his desire for her, who she was, what she was - she was...his.
beloved, be calm - beloved.. She finally found the strength to pull away from that kiss, to pull back, to look into his eyes. Beloved, we cannot remain like this alnight. I must sleep sometime and you likely need to feed -
Shivering at the sensation, his tongue on her back. Sudden memories of another time, another person - quickly pushed down, and the sensations themselves felt.
With that, and the mark opened wide, she feels the pleasure his lips brings - sends the emotion, and the feeling through to him, wanting him to feel what his closeness, what his touch does to her, wanting him to feel the need rising within.
Caressing gently as his tongue leaves her back, smoothing, tender touches as he kisses the back of her neck.
"If you are asked? Perhaps tell them that you are part of a new triumverate but that the others are as new as you and that Monsieur Rapist is merely training you to were life for your vampiric Master."
Mmmmhmmm, that sounds wondef - what did you say?"She leans up on her elbows and looks at him.
"Asher - beloved, please don't say that. For all that has happened if I can forgive and move on - I'm the one that asked that my back be torn. I'm the one that asked them to do it - to stay true to the story."
"He asked to hold me to - help me bear the pain of getting my back ripped open again. He didn't have to Asher. But he wanted to help me - please don't call him that."
Pushing herself away from him and off the bed, standing so quickly that she sees spots in front of her eyes. Trying to focus, she shakes her head and glares at him.
"Wait just a fucking minute. He made a mistake - I was there, we both know it. The beast got control. But it hurt both of us, not just me. It hurt him too. I was inside his head, Asher. He knows what he did - and so do I. Nothing is going to take away from the fact that it happened. I'm getting over it, healing."
"And he is helping me heal. Just as I am helping him. This has nothing to do with continued violation or disrespect. I had the opportunity to leave the pard. I had the opportunity to choose another alpha."
"I won't do it. I care about these people, my brother - I care about him too much. And if I can learn to live again, to move beyond it..then dammit you do to."
"I may be marked by you - I may be yours, Asher - but I will remain true to myself no matter what."
She stares in shock, her face turning pale. Seeing the hard look on Gabe's face behind him, her face falls, and she lowers her head to look at the floor.
Her voice dead, cold. "Asher, please - I would like you to go home. Please leave. I - will be in contact with - I'll call you later. Please."
She turns silently, and slowly makes her way out to the porch, starts walking away towards her house - her clothes, everything left behind.

"This is all I will take tonight. When you return? I shall feed once more."
Laying beside her though the bed reeked of the weres, lapping at the wounds, gathering every drop until they stopped bleeding.
