'Jee.. you look awful, what happened to him?'

Somehow they're always asking Josh things. It's not like I can talk or something.

'He decided to start fighting with the werewolves alpha.'

I almost fall when I want to walk a bit further away from him.. but he supports me.

'Where were you going?' He asks trying to suppress a laugh.
'I wanted to get away from you.'
'Oh?' He turns me around, ducks down a bit and holds his face close to mine, 'and why is that?'
'Because I've got business to do,' I bite the corner of my lips in order to not get pulled in by his words, 'so if you would allow me.'
'We will continue this later.'
'I don't think so,' I state as I escape his grip.

'So I would like to discuss some things.. is there a way for me to speak to a leader?' 'Of course, follow me.' 'Wait just like that? No asking who he his or?' Josh replies surprised.
'You would have been living under a rock if you don't know who he is and besides he has a trustworthy face.. you could learn from that.'

Roasted.
I give him a smile and follow the centaur.

After a rather quick conversation I have the centaurs on my side.

Now I'm sitting on a couch in a small house.. it's surprising there even are houses here, well only three or four.

I've been waiting for Josh to return from what he's doing.. well, I know what he's doing.. he's in the human world because I was busy.

I might have been sleeping a bit when I notice two arms slowly moving down over my chest.. not where the scars are but just next to it and I feel warm breath behind my ear.

'Hey,' I say but don't move an inch. 'How did it go?'
'I was done within five to ten minute,' I respond with a yawn.
'So you've been waiting for me?'
'If that's what you want to hear.'
'You little shit,' he says with a chuckle, walks around the couch and sits down next to me.

Well.. that's a challenge since I'm sitting in the middle of the couch and it's literally impossible to sit next to me.

I feel how I get lifted up and put down again a few seconds later, my body now against his.

'And what did you do?' I ask generally interested. 'I tried to cheer up our friends by playing some Uno.. it didn't really go as planned. They miss you a lot Ted and I don't think they'll give up searching for you.. which makes me feel like a total dick since I know why you aren't around. I would love to say you're alright, but I can't and it just sucks.'

I nod since I'm lost for words.

'Anyway.. we had some unfinished business.' 'Did we?' I ask totally playing along with him.
'If you weren't in this amount of pain right now you would feel it.'

I can't seem to keep the swallow of fear quiet.

'You know I'm just messing around right?' He asks seriously.
'I know.. it's just like.. I don't know like..'
'You're scared.' 'I want to say no.. but I don't want to lie.'

He changes his position from behind me to in front of me and gently tells me to slump down against the armrest by pushing me softly.
He pins my legs down between his legs and my arms he pins next to my body, his head is hovering above mine.
Why this is necessary? I don't know.

'What are you afraid of?'
'I don't know.. just the whole experience I guess,' I lie to him.. of course I know why I'm scared.
'Is it because you've seen my anger issues and you're afraid of what I could do in that situation?'
'Partly.. I'm just afraid you will.. hurt me by wanting to dominate over me and.. and you've told me plenty of times to stop because otherwise you can't hold back. It's just that I don't know what to expect.'
'I know that must be difficult and I would love to tell you but.. but it's something we both are going to learn at the same time.'

I sigh but kiss him, knowing he had been waiting for that.

'

'Teddy?' 'Hm?'

We've just been sitting opposite from eachother on the couch.

'When is the last time you had plasma?'
'Two days ago.. I guess,' I answer.
'I figured.. I could tell from your eye colour.'

'Josh..' I bite my lip.. am I really going to ask him this? 'Yes?'

I take a deep breath.

'Can I feed from you?'
'I didn't expect that sentence to ever leave your mouth,' he laughs shortly, 'go ahead honey.'

'Where do you want me to.. you know.' 'Whatever is the most comfortable position for you.'
'The neck,' I mumble quickly.
'I figured.'

I tillt his head backwards to have more access to his.. neck.

I can feel he's tense so I places a few kisses on his neck first.

When I feel his body is more relaxed I push my fangs into his skin.
A quiet gasp escapes his lips and his fingernails dig down in my shoulders. I wait for him to calm down again before I start drinking.

I feel his fingers run through my hair and the sweet sound of him humming.. he's zoning out and I don't blame him.

I take more than usual and I know that but it doesn't reach my mind until I feel how he's getting a bit uneasy. I tap his skin to tell him nothing is wrong and I'm still in control of it.

Just a few seconds later I pull back, close the wound and get rid of the excess blood.

'You scared me for a second.' 'Welcome to my side of the relationship,' I reply sarcastically.

He turns us around within seconds.

'Let's go back to our natural roles.' 'Josh.. I just fed from you, not the time for kisses,' I state dryly.

He places a kiss on my cheek and looks me in the eyes.

'What are you up to?' I ask because I don't trust the look he has in those sparkling eyes. 'Why do you think I'm up to something?' 'Because you have a seductive look in your eyes,' I say and touch his nose.

The chance to even get my hand away from his nose doesn't exist. He takes my wrist and pins my hand down on the armrest behind me.. I whimper in the process of it.

'Sorry.. are you okay?'
'Do you need my other hand up there as well?' I ask and ignore his question.
'If it's possible.' 'The problem was,' I move my arm up slowly, 'that,' I lay my hand on top of the other one, 'you did it to quickly.'

'Are you okay?' He repeats.
'I'm fine.. just be careful okay.'

He nods and places yet another kiss down on my cheek.

'Take this.' 'Why?' I ask holding the unknown ball of something in my hand. 'Because it will get rid of the blood taste in your mouth.'
'I don't mind it.'
'But I do.. are you going to eat it or do I need to help you?' He asks with a grin.

'

'Josh.. can you.. stop for a second?' I ask trying to catch my breath.
'Need a break?' 'I don't know what your lung capacity is but jeez,' I mutter still out of breath. He laughs. 'Apparently higher then yours.'

'You know..' 'Hm?' He carefully places a finger in my neck. 'If this wasn't bruised right now.. it would still be purple.'

I swallow lightly and let the words spin around in my head.

'Too bad I decided to fight a few days ago.' He laughs quietly.
'Yea.. too bad.'
