Chapter 53: Training

For the next few days I didn't see Rune very much. He was intentionally avoiding me in anger but no matter how angry he gets I refuse to back down. He doesn't understand that I need this... And if he can't come to understand that then we are gonna have to have a talk.

He still managed to sneak into the room every night after I fall asleep and slip into bed but would be gone again the next morning. It was starting to get old... I walk to the training ground and find Leon there waiting. We had been training for almost a week now, my body and all my muscles were begging me to stop.

"I thought I was early." I say in greeting and Leon smiles "I wanted to get everything set up before you got here. How are you feeling?" He ask looking me over. I was sporting a few nasty bruises and my left butt cheek hurt so bad I was nearly limping. "I'm perfectly fine!" I say a little too enthusiastically causing him to snort. I might look all beat up but Leon was a good teacher, he was even going easy on me.

"Would you like some help?" He ask suddenly serious. "What do you mean?" I ask confused. He drops the mat and slowly walks over saying in a low voice "I can give you a little of my blood. It won't hurt you or doing anything other than heal you so you can keep training."

My eyes widen in surprise as I think about what he was offering. Thanks to the books Mrs. Tweet has been giving me I know a little about this and every night I read the books before falling asleep. What he was offering was very sought after and not easily given. Leon was a master Vampire, one of the oldest and him offering his blood was.. well huge.

Before I could answer Rune says "She won't be taking anything of yours." I turn around to find Rune glaring at us once again. I roll my eyes and say "He wasn't asking you. I need to train as much as I can as quickly as I can and Leon's offer will allow me to do just that." Leon's eyes light up and Rune's darken.

Rune growls and says "That's it.." Before I have a chance to blink I feel his arms wrap around me and he shifts us into a hall leading to what looks like an open hot spring. My head was still spinning as he lifts me up and over his shoulder and walks towards the sping. "Rune! What the hell!?" I try to push away but he brings a large hand up to my sore ass making me jerk and hiss in pain.

"Behave woman... I'm at my limit.." He says in a deep voice stilling me. He was really upset so I decide to stay still. He walks over and lowers me to my feet with little to no effort and lifts his hands to the ties holding my dress. My hands quickly grab his as I try to step back but he growls making me stop.


Chapter 54: Jealousy

He was really angry making me freeze. Wasn't I the one that's angry? I'm still holding his hands holding the ties to my dress causing us to have a standoff of some kind. I look at his golden eyes that watch me with a predatory look and I slowly remove my hands allowing him to undress me.

He waits a breath or two before slowly loosening the strings never breaking eye contact. I try and steady my racing heart but it's a losing battle. When the dress falls down his eyes finally look away taking in my body. His eyes first hold a smoldering heat but it's quickly replaced by a cold light when he sees all the bruises.

I bring my hands up to hide but he gentle grabs them kneeling in the process. He lays gentle kisses on each bruise making me shiver. He doesn't say a word but quickly stands up stripping off his own clothes and before I have a chance to get a good look he already has me in his arms and walking into the warm spring water.

The water is so warm it almost burns my cooler skin but the feeling doesn't last long. I try to push away and stand on my own but Rune refuses to let go. I can feel his anger and with him being so quiet it was slightly unnerving. I'd rather have him yell at me or throw things around.. with him being so quiet.. it reminds me of a jack in a box toy. I hated those things as a kid... who am I kidding I still hate those evil things.

He finds a spot to sit and places me between his long legs and I try not to think about what my ass is touching. My cheeks were completely red and if anyone ask.. it's from the hot water... not the hot fuming fae. He pulls me back to rest against his large chest as he cups the water in his hands and slowing pours it over my shoulders.

He was bathing me?? I wanted to ask what he was doing.. why he was doing this but I couldn't bring myself to say anything. He's always been so kind to me I've never seen him like this and it was killing me. My anxiety was shooting through the roof. He gently sweeps my hair off to one side revealing my neck and shoulder.

He leans down and presses his lips to my shoulder causing me to shiver and bite my lip as goosebumps break out all down my arms. He replaces his lips with teeth making me gasp at the sudden pain and his arms tighten around me keeping me in place.
