Selena pov
Feeling someone patting my hand I slowly open my eyes and look to the side. Finding Emma sitting on the side of my bed with my hand in hers.
"How do you feel?" She asks and looks at me. Looking around in the room we are alone. Pulling my hand out of hers I drag my body further up in the bed and rest my head against the headboard.
Feeling some pain in my shoulder but that's all I feel. Taking my hand up on my shoulder and it's sensitive.
"He had to mark you again to get your bond to calm down before the potion started to work or you would have forced yourself on him!" Turning my head to look at her I know she is right. I was crazy with the need to mate.
"He isn't so bad Selena! He didn't take advantage of you when you were out of your senses. He did this for you!" She says and I sigh before pinching the bridge of my nose.
I know she is right and he had every chance to complete the bond before, if he hadn't done what he did I would have taken what I needed.
"Where is he now?" I ask and look back at her, his scent is faint in my room and I guess he hasn't been in here for a couple of hours.
"He left after he put you in bed to go and check your notes again, but I guess he had a hard time being in the same room as you with the way he rushed out of here when I walked inside!" She says and smiles at me.
"I have to go and talk with him!" I say and toss the blanket off me. Looking at my body he has dressed me in a long shirt and it has his scent. Taking it to my nose I take a large inhale and his scent fills up in my lungs.
I hear Emma chuckle at me and I turn my head to look at her.
"I almost didn't intervene before. If I knew you wouldn't be furious at him or us I would let you complete it instead!" She says and wiggles her eyebrows at me.
Rolling my eyes at her I place my feet on the floor and start to walk over to the closet.
"I know you would make beautiful babies and I want to be an aunt!" Emma says and I stop in my track and turn to look at her. She sits on my bed with a big grin on her lips.
I just shake my head at her and turn back to my closet and walk inside.
"You could get another one with your mate and leave me alone!" I say and start to put on clothes quickly. I'm not in the mood for her teasing right now.
"Or we could get pregnant at the same time!" She says and I drop my shoe on the floor at her statement. Hearing her chuckle I know she said it to see my reaction.
Taking up my shoe and putting it on I walk past her and head over to the door.
She takes quick steps and places her arms in mine before I have reached the door.
"You know what! I'm only teasing you to get you out of that serious mood. You need to relax a bit and try to enjoy his company instead" she says and I sigh. She will always be this way and it's one of the reasons I like her this much, even if she gets on my nerves sometimes she can always lighten up my mood.
"I know you are!" I say to her and reach for the door handle. I will have her words in the back of my mind and think about it, he might have changed!
We walk together for a bit in the hallway before she goes down to the kitchen instead. I somehow feel nervous to meet him again after I lost it.
Shewing on my nail I come to stand outside my closed office door and don't manage to make me walk inside and face him. I can only imagine the amount of self-discipline he got to stop himself from completing the bond when I practically jumped him with my need.
Lost in my thoughts I don't notice at first when the office door is opened and Kian's arm grabs me and pulls me inside the room before he closes the door and cages me in with his hands on each side of the wall.
His nose comes down to my shoulder when I feel him take a deep breath.
"I..!" I start saying when his hand comes up and grabs my chin in a firm grip when he tilts my head up to look at him.
Meeting his gorgeous amber eyes he traces his thumb on my bottom lip.
"I don't want to force the bond on you! Take the time you need" he says and slowly closes the distance between us. His lips come down on mine in a soft kiss that gives me butterflies in my stomach.
