Why Don't You Scream?
Holo rocked back and forth, like the waves hitting the shore in a violent fashion. Below her, Lawrence withered from pure sensory overload.
He had never been with a women before, this feeling was new to him. And he loved this feeling, he loved her more importantly.
"So, new mate, do you enjoy?" came Holos voice, snapping him out of his thoughts.
He forced himself to look up at her. She was smiling, but not one of her usual smile, it was a warm smile, a loving smile, a smile filled with promises.
"Why..." he grunted and his hips bucked involuntarily, "do you call me that? Am I really just a one night stand to you?"
She gasped and froze. Staring down at him with those wide amber eyes, her hair fell on her face casting a silhouette. She leaned in so their noses were touching.
"Is-Is that what you think? That I'll do this and act like nothing happened the next day?" her voice was small and scared.
"No, no! Its just-" he was grasping at straws, trying desperately to salvage the situation.
"When I call you my mate, its saying that we are bound, and though its not easy for me to say it, I love you Kraft Lawrence, you are my everything." she buried her head in his chest and inhaled his welcoming scent.
He sighed and stroked her hair, it was strange seeing her so vulnerable. It was very unlike her.
"Holo, when we first met I didn't no what I felt for you, but, after everything that's transpired, I love you too. I never had anything to begin with, so your my everything too." he said it in a cool merchant voice.
She leaned up and stared into his eyes. When she saw nothing but sincerity in his eyes she smiled and leaned into his neck.
"Your mine now Mate Lawrence," she said, wearing a devilish grin.
Before he could respond she leaned in closer and sank her teeth into his neck, burying her canines to the hilt into his neck. Blood dripped from the wound, but she did not lick it, she would not loose herself yet.
"Now mate, where were we?" she said, grinning ear to ear.
Lawrence swallowed audibly. He had no idea what was in store.
The next morning Lawrence woke up sore. It was as if he had been riding in a wagon for many days. He blinked as the sun streamed through the window and illuminated the girl, who was still on top of him
He had a vague memory of Holo telling him she had problems with mating, especially if she was not the one in control. So Lawrence had relented his control to her, for the time being at least.
He yawned and Holos eyes shot open. They slowly moved up to Lawrences face, he could see the memories flickering in them. Slowly they closed again, she sighed and nuzzled her face against his chest.
He chuckled and kissed her forehead, relived that she didn't seem to regret last night and delighted at the fact that they had confessed love for each other.
"Listen you," came Holos voice, though her eyes were still closed, "I was your first no? Your very first time loving someone enough?" she asked, her tone held an accusation.
"Yes, of course you were my darling Holo," he replied, surprised at her question.
She nodded. As if contemplating the truth to his words.
"If that is the case, then why did you not scream my name? You were my first, and I screamed your name in love so that the heavens themselves could hear, and yet, I did not once hear you scream or even yell my name. Only the occasional moan."
Lawrence thought about this. Could she truly be mad at something so trivial? The answer was a yes of course. It was a matter of pride, which meant-
"Was I not good? Did I not elicit enough pleasure from you? Perhaps if I had cried out or given you innocent looks..." she seemed deep in thought, this was obviously an important issue.
Yet Lawrence could find nothing to say. It was true that he had not screamed her name, but that didn't mean he had not felt pleasure. It had been the greatest night of his life.
"Holo, just because I wasn't screaming your name like a mad man doesn't mean you weren't good, I love you and I loved the night. Besides, you said it was your first time right?" he said, smiling warmly.
As soon as said it he knew he had made a mistake. Her eyes were narrowed with fury, her tail bristled. He slapped himself mentally, he had basically just tried to pass her performance off as something that only newcomers do. A bad idea.
"Are you suggesting, mate, that I, Holo the Wise Wolf, mate of Kraft Lawrence, was not good the first time?" she had trapped him, there was nowhere to run.
"No! Um, that is to say-" but she held up her hand to silence him.
"Very well mate, I enjoy a challenge, if I do not make you scream by the end of this week then I shall concede victory to you." she said, but there was a mischievous twinkle in her eye.
"However, if I do, then I have free reign over you, I will take you when and where I see fit, understand?"
At first, Lawrence thought he won both ways, but then he realized something. Something terrible.
If he was, to say, talk to another female with Holo by his side, he would attempt to use his charm. Using his charm meant flirting.
And if Holo had free reign to take him whenever and wherever she so chose, she could do it then. She would have the right to drag him away, she might even do it in front of the person.
That would be bad for business, and the trade guild would be all over him. On top of that, rumors would spread and he would loose connections and clients. He could not afford to have that happen.
"So Kraft," she said, smiling and using his first name, "are you going to let your new mate or 'wife' walk all over you?"
She was obviously goading him into it. However if he declined, she won. Thus he had to make sure not to scream, or-
"Very well, however, to even be able to get me to scream, you'll first need to bed me, now won't you?" now he was the one smiling.
She looked taken aback. Clearly she knew what Lawrence meant.
"Are you suggesting that I can't bed you mate?" she said, still wearing that incredulous look.
"Exactly, you can make some devious plan, but without my cooperation, it won't work. I have the upper hand, for once, I can't loose." he cracked an eye open to see Holo straddling him, not even bothering to cover herself up.
She then grinned and leaned down, her teeth brushed his ear. She blew into it and nibbled on the lobe.
"I knew I picked a fantastic, permanent, mate, truly you will be entertaining," she sucked on his neck now, in the place where she had bitten the night before.
He just chuckled, not even blushing. She rose and stared at his face, astounded as to his cool face.
"Like I'd go down so easy, come on lets get breakfast," he said hoisting him and Holo up.
As he god dressed he felt Holo eying him. Watching him like a predator, waiting for the kill.
He grinned and tossed her clothes at her, she sighed but put them on. If only to appease him.
He extended his arm and she took it. An old gesture between the two.
And for the first time, Holo went to eat grudgingly.
Well, I've decided to make chapters. I love this series and I'm not trying to write smut, only a vaguely realistic fanfic. Even Demons like romance
