Chapter 11: Something diffrent

Chapter 11

Thane’s POV

Before I could even blink, much less react, Thane was suddenly standing right in front of me. His eyes were no longer their normal color, but instead, they were glowing a dangerous, angry red.

The sight of them made my stomach drop to my feet in a cold wave of fear, a clear sign that I had really pissed him off.

My stomach dropped to my feet, a sinking wave of terror flooding my body, making my legs shake like they might give out soon.

His cold, rough, large hands clamped down hard on my throat, his hold was so tight, like iron bands squeezing just enough to make my breath catch in my chest.

‘’You, a lowly and filthy human, cannot be compared to her!’’ Thane bellowed, his voice filled with a raw, powerful anger that echoed in the small space. His grip on my neck roughly dragged me towards him until there was barely an inch of space left between our faces. The air between us was thick and I could feel the heat radiating off of him.

‘’I’m sorry, master,’’ I managed to croak out.  My eyes were wide with terror as I trembled uncontrollably under his cold-blooded stare.

I knew it was in my own best interest to keep my mouth shut. One wrong word, and I was sure my head would be rolling on the floor in front of me.

‘’Now answer my question, human,’’ Thane continued, his breath blasting hot against my face.

His glowing red eyes held mine captive, forcing me to look at him. I tried my best to remain still, but it was getting increasingly difficult to breathe, let alone think. The problem was, I really didn't know what he was talking about. I had no mate. The confusion mixed with the fear in my mind.

‘’I do not have the patience for your time wasting, human,’’ Thane growled dangerously. His other hand came up, pushing my jaw up to force me to look him directly in the eye, and for a moment, he loosened his hold on my neck, allowing me to take a small gasp of air.

Just as I was gathering my thoughts, trying to figure out how to calmly explain my situation, a sudden flush of heat rushed through my whole body.

It happened the second his fingers brushed against a specific spot on the right side of my neck. My mind went blank for a second, and my limbs suddenly became as weak as jelly, making me feel like I was melting.

‘’I really don’t have a mate… what are you doing to me?’’ I croaked out in a desperate, pleading voice. It felt like I was slowly losing consciousness, but it wasn't just his hand on my neck anymore.

It was something else. A slow, burning pain suddenly flared up where he had touched me, leaving my mouth dry. My hands flew up to my neck, but my head felt fuzzy, and I was finding it incredibly hard to concentrate on anything except the burning sensation.

‘’It’s just your body requesting that I feed from you,’’ I heard Thane say from somewhere in the haze of my fuzzy mind. It took me a full minute to process what he meant.

‘’What? I don’t want that…’’ My next words were completely forgotten as I felt my legs suddenly leave the ground. In the very next second, I felt my butt connect softly with the cold, hard surface of the bar counter. I heard the faint sound of a glass cup shattering as Thane pushed it to the side to make room for me.

‘’You should feed from her before we head out,’’ I heard Lucas say. His voice seemed to  get closer as he rounded the corner, his footsteps drawing closer.

‘’I wonder why she has such a sensitive mate marking, even though it is blank,’’ Thane muttered to himself, his voice quieter now, as if he didn't even notice Lucas's presence.

My attention was soon taken back to Thane as the sound of fabric tearing reached my ears asThane’s fingers seemed to rub more aggressively at the sensitive spot on my neck.

That seemed to make the heat that was already flowing through my veins increase even more, and more moans of pleasure tried to escape my lips, which I was clenching so hard to stop.

‘’Hey, stop… it!’’ I called out in a panic, my voice shaking as my eyes darted down to see Thane tear off the rest of my top. The right side of my shirt was now completely gone, exposing the tops of my breasts.

Thane didn't even seem to notice my distress, his gaze fixed on the sensitive skin near my right breast, as he studied the dark branding mark that had been forced on me hours ago. I tried to cover myself up with my free hand, but my movements were clumsy and weak.

My embarasment deepened as my eyes went behind him to now fix on Lucas. He didn't seem to have any intention of leaving anytime soon. Instead, he walked further into the room and towards the bar, pulling out a seat next to us and easing himself in with a casual air that made my whole body melt in embarrassment.

‘’Arrrrhhhhh!’’ Suddenly, a jolt of pure electrical shock went through my whole system. It was so intense that my toes curled and my head fell backwards, a loud gasp escaping my lips. I felt my core clench hard, and a rush of blood went straight to my head, leaving me breathless and dizzy.

‘’You don't have a mate mark, but your blood tastes like you are mated,’’ Thane mumbled, his voice a low growl of confusion.

My whole mind and body were now completely aware of the slow, deliberate gliding of his long fingers as he creased the side of my neck. I didn't know what he was doing, but the sensations were driving me insane.

A fine sweat prickled the surface of my skin as I tried to hold myself back from darting my hands forward and pulling his body towards me, but the last string of control I had slipped away.

I felt him lean even closer into me, and my nose was now filled with his unique, masculine scent. I felt a deep clutch in my belly as my hands moved up to land on his chest, which was clad in a plain black t-shirt. The moment I came in contact with the incredible heat that radiated from his body, even through the shirt, I lost all control.

A loud groan, a sound that came from deep within my head, "Urrrhhh!", was followed by another loud groan from my own throat as my hands gripped the hem of his shirt.

The next sound was the distinct ripping of fabric. I was in shock at where the strength to do that came from, and it seemed even Thane was surprised, but that minute of shock soon faded. My hands hooked around his neck, and with a possessive strength I didn't know I had, I pulled his head down towards mine.

‘’Drink from me,’’ the words left my lips, shocking me to my bone at the strength and raw command in my voice. It wasn't a request, it was more of a command.
