Screamed 'I Hate You's and Whispered 'I Love You's-Chapter Twenty Three

Griffon grabbed both my feet and stared down at me. "Gay?"

"Yes, I've been trying to tell you." I rolled my eyes and crawled off the bed. "But you hurt him, Griff. I understand you were jealous but I'm still mad."

Griffon grabbed my face, smashing his lips down onto mine. "I thought you were in love with him, Evie,"

I pushed him away, "I'm not in love with him. I love him like a brother. You need to apologize to Lance for hurting him." He tried to kiss me again, but I pushed him away.

"I will, I promise." Griffon said again, trying to kiss me again. When I rejected him again, it was easy to tell he was getting mad.

Frowning, I pushed him away again. "No, Griffon. For hurting Lance I'm punishing you. No kisses for a week."

Griffon grabbed me tightly. "Stop it. That's not even funny."

"Too bad, Griffon. And if you don't apologize to him I'm not even going to touch you."

Griffon pouted and grabbed my wrists, pinning me to the bed. "Well we don't need to kiss to-"

I shoved him away again, "We're not doing anything, Griffon. One week. No sexual anything. You're in trouble."

Griffon lowered his head, "It's better than you leaving."

"Yes," I responded, "It is."

Men are stupid. None of them ever drop their pride just to say a simple sorry. But I guess my threat was working, because I've been avoiding Griffon like the plague all day and it was easy to tell he was going insane. When Lance, Syd and I were all in my bedroom at one point, Griffon came in.

The tension in the air was awkward. Sydney had found out what happened and was mad. What was even better was that she had actually made out with Grayson, five minutes before- and found out Griffon was his so-called best friend.

"Um," Griffon said under his breath, not knowing exactly what to do. I stood up, rolling my eyes and walked outside the door. I could feel him following behind me. He reached out to touch me, and I bounced away from him.

He growled and shoved his hands into his pockets. "I came to apologize to him."

Nodding, I smiled at him and didn't say a word. Looking into my bedroom, I waved at Lance, "Come here,"

Syd narrowed her eyes at us and watched Lance get to his feet. He had a confused face on and to be honest looked a bit afraid. He stepped outside and stayed behind me, probably to block off Griffon from reaching him.

There was silence. I looked at Griffon, waiting for him to speak.

"Are you going to leave?" Griffon questioned, raising his eyebrows.

"Why would I leave? I want to hear this." I countered him, grinning like a mad man.

Griffon gave me an annoyed look, "No. I'm not going to do it if you're here."

"Why not?" I pouted, rocking on my toes. Lance stayed behind me silently. I didn't blame him for not saying a word, and I highly doubted he wanted to be alone with Griffon. "Is it your pride? You can't show you're weak in front of me?" I giggled innocently.

"It's not my pride, Maeve. It's none of your business."

I crossed my arms, refusing to move. "Do I have to make it into two weeks?"

"Make what into two- oh, no please Maeve, no!" He reached for me and I stepped backwards before he was close enough. Desperate, Griffon stepped towards me again, extended arms. Lance, being the protective idiot he was, took this as a threat and jumped in front of me.

It was easy to tell Griffon was pissed.

"Move," He snarled at Lance, narrowing his eyes. Lance didn't buldge even though I'm sure he was terrified. I'd be too, if Griffon was giving me that look.

"No." Lance replied, his voice trembling slightly.

Scowling at Griffon, I grabbed Lance's shoulder. "Don't you think you've done enough today, Griff?"

He grew angrier. "It's been four and a half hours and I'm done! Maeve I want to touch you! I need to touch you, and kiss you! I can barely control myself, this is torture!" Desperation seeped into his words.

"'Cause you're weak, Griffon. You haven't even apologized yet. I'm still not even sure if I'm going to stay here tonight. You know there is a apartment building in town I can stay in,"

"I won't let you!" Griffon roared, pushing Lance out of the way, "You're mine!" He leaped for me and I jumped out of his way. His expression was dark as night and his eyes were crazy with need. I knew at that exact moment I was completely, totally, absolutely fucked.

This alpha was needing. And seething. The sickest part was I had a feeling Griffon's wolf wasn't far from coming out and it wouldn't hesitate to take me. Because my twenty days were nearly up anyway.
