[attr="class","textieno"] It was words that hadn’t meant to come out no matter how true they were. She tempted him. She tempted him more than any other lady out there he had spent time with. Perhaps it was the control she made him feel the need to fight for. The courage she gave him to be a better person. He was more than comfortable around her and she made it easy for him to show affection. So easy in fact he ended up getting too close for comfort. ”Yeah…” but there was also another side to the temptation. There was the side that the wolf wanted and that was to take the rabbit and consume every bit of her. The dangerous side of the temptation that scared him for her safety against himself. ”I shouldn’t feel that way and I know I shouldn’t. but it feels good when you are around.” He was getting too used to that factor too. It was going to be hard when he didn’t have her to run to.[break]
”I shouldn’t have said that. Sorry.” He felt almost embarrassed that a little rabbit could do that for him. Almost like he should be ashamed at the power she gave him. [break]
She soon said that she had never experienced her were-side and that it was something she had been scolded for back at home. His brows furrowed. He supposed he could see why since Hybrids were entirely frowned upon in most cultures. There wasn’t a single law that protected them and they were pretty much on their own when it came to things. If there world got torn apart… who cared? No one. He gave her a small smile and a nod of his head. ”You shouldn’t let someone control who you are.” he said. ”No matter if they are family. Stay true to yourself.” and he did his best to live by that also. He hated being a hybrid but it was who he was. ”Because whether you hide it or not you will always remain a hybrid. You will always be disapproved of.” He learned that the hard way as well. Once his Boss figured out he could turn into a wolf he took advantage of it and used the wolf – or tried to – to his advantage. The only bad thing about it was the wolf was highly unstable and didn’t listen to much command. The wolf had his own agenda and the boss wanted to keep such a thing close.[break]
Her next set of words forced him to close his eyes and remain silent listening about Ives and her brother. She cared for them but he could hear it in her words that she wondered if they cared for her in return. ”I’m sure they were devastated.” he said though his voice held little to no emotion. He couldn’t speak for them nor could he speak of their actions. He wished he could. He wished he could give her some kind of comfort but he knew well he couldn’t. At her question he was quiet and right when he was about to answer it she stopped him. He nodded his head. ”You will see them soon.” he said and nuzzled her. He could still feel her shivering and it made him frown a little. ”Wish I could warm you up faster. Only way I know how is with direct body heat….. Skin to skin.”

[attr="class","textieno"]She didn't sound too convinced with what he said but he supposed she would do what she wanted anyway. No less he figured he would give her some kind of advice and she could do what she wanted with it. "All that matters, I suppose." He said. his voice was warm and low as blue eyes gently closed as he leaned his shoulder into the side of the head of the bed. His body was relaxed for the first time in awhile. She was grounding him and he was pretty sure if she kept quiet any longer he would actually sleep. He hadn't been able to sleep since his mate pretty much made it clear she wanted nothing to do with him or their bond. No less her tiny voice caused blue eyes to open and glance down at her. "Wait-- what?" He was sure she would have completely denied him yet again but no the little bunny was now hesitantly starting to unclothe. Eyes stayed on her as she revealed her ivory skin and he could start to hear his heart thud in his ears. "you don't have to." he said though he was very much regretting those words the moment they exited his lips. Of course, he wanted her to but when it came to Larkin he didn't want to make her uncomfortable. Sure there was the usual making her blush but if it was something she didn't wanna do, he didn't like pushing the matter.[break]

She was bare to him now despite the towel now steadily skirting up her body again. His head tipped to the side and now it was his turn unlike her he had a shirt and pants. He supposed he would start off slow in case she did change her mind. He grabbed the ends of his shirt and tugged them up and over his head and pushed them off to the side. He leaned in towards her and gently peeled the towel away to reveal her skin. Tugging her in close to him, he wrapped his arms around her.

[attr="class","textieno"]There were things that had nearly happened between them on several occasions and on those several occasions he had pushed himself back to a stop. He didn't want to lose himself in something that he couldn't dig back out of and with Larkin he feared that was a possibility. But much like he had told her moments ago... she tempted him. There had been only one woman who had tempted him other than her and it was a rather conflicting feeling. He knew why Lucia did. Lucia had a bond with him that he didn't entirely know what to do with and then there was Larkin. The little rabbit that could ground him with just a simple touch, a simple glance, a simple... whisper. She held a different type of bond with him one that was nearly unbreakable. She gave the human side of him power. Maybe that was where the temptation was steming from... to be honest he wasn't entirely sure.[break]

Even know as she began to explore he found himself not pausing this moment. Instead he let her explore. Her fingers leaving a trail of goose bumps, skin almost aching and arching towards her touch. Her lips felt like fire against his skin as they softly brushed along his chest... his collar bone... and then eventually his neck. His head only tipped a little bit as she pressed her lips into his neck and for a moment he wondered if she would bite. The mere thought sent an anticipation waving through every muscle in his body. His own fingers moved along slender curves of her body. Along her sides and into the hip bones. It wasn't long before he turned his head and eventually captured her lips with his own. There was a sense of control behind the kiss before eventually trailing off down her neck.[break]

He wasn't stopping this time. This time he was in for the long haul.[break]

After the sheets had cooled He laid on his back and had his blue eyes closed, breathing those his nose to let his heated skin to start to cool down. His muscles ached but he felt a deep satisfaction. After a few moments, he turned his head and opened his eyes to look at Larkin. A quiet but praise of approving growl escaped up his throat as he murmured softly. "you still okay?" he had probably asked more than once through the process but it was one thing with a strong woman like Lucia and another with an almost breakable delicate Larkin. His were strength wasn't something always controlled. His fingers still itched to continue to explore the form he already devoured. Roving over hips and stomach as he watched her with a soft affectionate gaze.[break]

He was content and didn't feel the urge to take off like he had in the pool with Lucia. Then again Larkin hadn't denied him. Instead she was rather welcoming with whatever it was they did. He leaned back a little again as he inhaled through his nose. That was when it hit him. Something was off. Someone was near the cabin. "Larkin... Slip your dress on." He said softly not to give her too much alarm. He slipped away from her and grabbed up his pants and tugged them back on. He could feel his wolf bristling and baring his teeth and about that time the door broke opengiving away to a couple of men he nearly strutted in. "I told you he was hiding her here." one said giving the other a shove on the shoulder. "Grab the girl." Felix was quick of course to grab the one who attempted to head towards Larkin by the throat and shove him backwards. It was almost as if more of them seemed to start filing into the room and he backed up a bit. "don't let the wolf slip out." Another pipped up. "Grab him then the girl. Hurry it up." Almost in an instant two went for him and another went around them as Felix fought to grab the one heading for Larkin. "Don't you fucking touch her. Don't you dare." A snarl errupted from his throat as he fought agains tthe two holding him. A couple screaming at the other two to knock him out while they screamed they couldn't do that and h old on to him too. Finally a third entered the picture and gave him a couple punches and when that didn't work they gave him a blow to the stomach to quieten him down and another hard blow to the head.[break]

His world instantly went black, legs giving out underneath him forcing them to hold his weight.
