Life After the Storm

I am unsure of what to do. I'm scared, wondering what games he may be playing. I watch as he goes to stand. I back up standing in the middle of the doorway. He stumbles and looks into my eyes, "mine, you're my mate."

I am unsure of what is happening. He is starting to scare me. I begin to tremble as I wait for him to snap back into reality. I can be strong, but it doesn't mean I'm not scared. I watch as he steps towards me. I want to stand my ground, but I can't. I go to run, but then all I can think about is what will happen to Jayden.

So, I stopped, and I turned around to go back into the bedroom. But he is standing in the doorway, just staring at me. I become uncomfortable with his gaze, and then I realize I am naked. I'm confused by his eyes. It is like this is the first time that he has ever seen me naked before.

I get tired of his games. I know that he's pretending he's a monster. He has never been the gentle type, not with me, anyway. "Ivan, what games are you trying to play here?"

"I'm not sure what games you are talking about, you're the one standing in front of me with no clothes on. You expect me not to stare at my beautiful mate's body."

"Ivan, stop this, please. I know you're going to hurt. Just get it over with, please."

As he comes close to me, he goes to put his hands on my shoulder. I jump back, and my body shakes. Surprised that I reacted like this just by his touch. Hating that he has any control over me in the first place. I notice that he is about to say something, hoping that he is about to come clean and be the monster I know he is.
