Food & Play

The moment she grabbed the burger and sat back, making her boobs bounce, I wondered what went through that mind of hers. Her cheeks were flushed, and the familiar squeeze of her thighs gave it away; I had seduced enough women to know when I had an effect on them.
When I sucked on her finger, I didn’t miss how her body reacted to me.Fuck, she’s so perfect.A temptation that I was succumbing to; I felt a rush of pleasure go through me as she inhaled sharply, her heart thudding like a thousand beats of a drum.
A sudden sound from the TV brought us out of our eye lock and she gasped, yanking her hand away, glaring at me- or trying to.
“Don’t behave like an animal,” she said quickly, picking up her can.
I smirked, watching her. She had pushed her sleeves up a little, and I could see the runes on her wrists. The urge to take her hand in mine and kiss those marks was strong. I wanted to know if they hurt.
I looked away and at the horrible movie she had chosen. I knew she did it on purpose. The movie was sickening and super disturbing, but if she wanted to watch it, watch it we shall.
“So, are mates like dog treats to you guys?” she asked. I looked at her, confused for a second.
“Are all your examples going to be linked to dogs?” I asked, amused.
“Well yeah… or food,” she mumbled, but I heard. “What I mean is, like, is a mate like a treat? So, like a dog, you pounce on it just because it’s a treat meant for you? You don’t even know the person, yet you want them to be a part of your life?” I never would have put it like that.
“Well, I don’t think I’d compare a mate to a treat,” I said, taking a pizza slice. “A treat is more like arandom sexy woman or something that looks good and you want a piece of. Once you’re done, you forget about it and move on.” I glanced at her. She was frowning, but she said nothing, so I continued.
“A mate is more like your world. Something that you need to survive, that without them, you feel like you can’t breathe. You wish their every pain was yours, that you could take away all their fears, worries and sorrows. Someone you would die for, even kill for... but at the same time, someone you can’t live without. Or at least that’s how it is for me,” I said quietly, looking into those startling blue eyes of hers.
I didn’t want to say more; I didn’t want to tell her that every moment spent with her was breaking me. That I was falling for her. She was made for me, but that was not the only reason. It was her, as a person, that I was falling for in the short time I had known her. I hadn’t missed how she had attended to the old man in the diner; the way she had asked for another coffee or sliced his pie…
The way she made me feel when she eyed food, the way I could tell when she was deep in thought… and, dare I admit, her quirky personality was so cute.
She was known as the witch of darkness. I didn’t know why, but they said she was born from darkness itself. Regardless of all that crap, I could tell she was pure.
“That’s not always true, is it?” she asked quietly, picking up the burger and taking a big bite.
“It’s meant to be, but it’s true that there are monsters amongst us, just as there are in any species, even humans. We can’t all be flagged as the same. I know I can’t force your opinion to change, but tell me, are all witches bad?”
“No…” she replied, frowning. “But most are… I was told when I was younger that the darkness within me influences those around me.”
“That’s a load of crap. They just needed excuses for their own shit. My uncle, the Lycan King, has a dark aura. When he’s in the room, it’s strong and it’s suffocating. You know, it’s pure darkness, but it does not mean he’s a bad person. He was willing to sacrifice himself to save our kind. If you saw him, you wouldn’t think that. Even Marcel, the Rogue Alpha, didn’t think he’d ever help them... that was what Endora fed him. And… I know that not all those rogues deserved happiness, but they have been given a chance at a new life…” I felt her tense, her eyes fixed on the burger.
“They will be punished for the wrongs they committed. Not all of them deserve to be pardoned. But Kiara, the Queen, she can tell when a person lies. Those who hurt you will pay, and those who actually regret their actions could get a lighter sentence. Nothing changes the fact that you were abused by our kind, and I will make sure they pay for their crimes,” I promised her, frowning. I didn’t want to mention it, but since it came up…
She looked at me, but I couldn’t read her emotions.
“Do you think that will make things better?”
“Not at all,” I said bitterly. I wished it would, but it couldn’t. “Nothing can take away the pain and trauma you were subjected to.”
She didn’t reply, lost in thought, and I made the mistake of looking at the TV. Okay, this movie was going to make me throw up. It was the wrong moment to look at it.Okay, fuck, I’m done.I grabbed the remote.
“We are not watching this,” I said firmly, wanting to gag.
“Hey, you said I could choose!” she exclaimed, placing her plate down as she tried to grab the remote.
“Yes, a movie, not something so repulsive. We’re trying to eat, and he’s just given them laxatives; I’m going to throw up,” I argued, holding the remote out of reach, managing to pause the movie on a very horrible scene.Damn…
“No! I want to watch it!”
“More like you want to see me suffer.” I frowned.
