Rogue Prince

Chapter 11: Therapy

I finally got off of him and he got up too. He led out his hand and said"It was really a pleasure talking to you, Dr. Quinn." I shook his hand and said"Me too. Hope this will be all for today."
He smiled and pulled me again by wrapping his arm around my waist, kissing my temple and went out the room.

Crazy wolf.

When I was finally done for the day, I grabbed my bag and walked out my office, walking straight to the hospital exits, where I knew Jaxon would be waiting for me. As soon as I got out the gates, I heard Greg running to catch up to me. I stopped for him as he stood there and asked with a smile "I was wondering if you like to go out with me right now? We cancelled last time."

Before I could even answer, I felt arms snaking around my stomach and being pulled to him which felt like electricity going up and down my skin, giving me goosebumps. I smiled because I knew how that was and said"I'm sorry, Greg. That's a nice offer but I can't. I'm seeing someone."
He pursed his lips in, nodding and then looked back at Jaxon, eyeing him up and down and then walking back inside.

I turned around to look at Jaxon and his eyes were red. His canines were slowly growing. Like his wolf was on edge.
He looked down at me as he breathed harshly through his nose. His chest rising up and down on a fast pace. He growled in anger and held me closer. Burying his face in my neck and growled again with a husky tone "My human."
I rubbed his back up and down to somehow calm him. And it did. It came to me like an instinct. He looked back at me as I asked"Are you okay?" He nodded "I'm sorry. It's just I could smell his scent and yours together too strongly and I couldn't help but get here as soon as possible."

I nodded and smiled to lighten up the mood "As much I love eight packs, I love eight slices of pizza too." He smiled and held my hand as we walked to his car.

We reached the building and I grabbed my purse to get out. He stopped me "Aren't you forgetting something?" I shook my head "I got my phone in my purse. Why?" He looked at me because I didn't got his hint right away. I smiled "How about you bring that pizza and we'll see about a kiss." He raised his brow with a smile and I tried to get out of the car. As I stood up, I saw him appear in front of me. Looking back inside the car, before I could speak, he grabbed my face and lightly kissed me. I was still shocked at how he got there fast as he said looking down at me "Werewolf speed. Comes in handy in situations like this." I said looking up at him "That was cheating." He clapped back "Everything is fair in love and war. And you tried to start the war 10 seconds ago." I looked in his eyes with a blank face and he said "I'll get that pizza now." He pecked on my cheek one last time and he walked back to the driver seat. I closed the door and went inside the building with a smile on my face.

I threw my pizza crust on the cardboard box and took another slice.

We were in the living room, on the couch.

He was in his black sweatpants with a green olive V neck that hugged him perfectly. His hair was wet because he just took a shower. While I sat in a oversized black shirt and blue shorts. My hair up in a bun and my legs across his lap.

As he noticed that I had a new slice in my hand, he grabbed my leftover crust from the box and ate it.
I've been noticing that for the last three slices and asked"That's the third crust of mine that you're eating." He shrugged asking"So?"

"So? Get a slice."

"No, you're leaving out the best part."

He kissed my cheek and whispered"I'll always love eating your crusts." Making me smile and shaking my head at him.
He pecked my cheek again and took the crust from my hand.

He asked with his mouth full"So, I've been thinking. I told you everything about me. And yet, you haven't told me anything." I stopped eating and looked at him.

I wasn't gonna tell the whole truth. That was final. I wasn't going to tell about him. Not now and maybe not ever.

I asked"Like what?" He suggested"Like your past. Your childhood. Your family." I cleared my throat and replied"Well, I had no family. I don't know who my parents are.... or were. I don't know what happened. But an old women took me in. Her name was Rose."

"Was?"

"She died when I was 16. Mugged and killed by some drunk. After her death, her apartment was taken. Her belongings and I were kicked out by her siblings. Until, I decided that I'm my own family and I can only support myself."

He just looked with sympathy in his eyes. I could hear his wolf whimpering aloud. I wasn't broken to be honest. I'm happy where I am. And happy with what I am. And who I'm away from.
He stroked my left cheek with the back of his fingers and and lifted my chin "Wolf or no wolf, you're one strong human." He smiled at me and I wished that was half true.
I knew there was something else he was eager to ask. And he did"How did you got the cigarette marks?" I looked at him and I knew that if I tell him the truth, his wolf would be on edge. And I didn't want that nor I was ready to fully trust him with my past. Not yet. Not now.

I replied with honesty"It was long ago. Let's not talk about it, okay?" He just nodded and I kissed right on the corner of his lips in appreciation, wrapping my arms around his neck and burying my face on his chest. He pulled me down with him on the couch. Holding me. His body provided me comfort and warmth that I grew to love so much.

I yawned because of the comfort and first day of work did take a toll on me. I felt him kiss on my forehead as peaceful sleep took me out.
