Victoria's Comeback

Chapter Six-Getting Down To The Truth

James POV

I didn't like how things were going. Victoria was spending more and more time with Riley. She was a player. I was now in the woods with them both. Watching as she stood very close to him, talking lowly. Riley was taking over that situation. He would run his hand up and down her arms then her and or her side. Once he did he would glance at me, smirk then look back at her. Then it came to Victoria...oh Victoria knew how to press bottons...she was pressing mine enough as it was. "So once he gets here...me and you will talk to him and see what he says." She smiled at Riley and he nodded then touched her arm again. "I'll go get us a human." Riley leaned closer to her and pressed his lips to hers. I held back a growl and stayed silent. Victoria didn't know I was there but he did. After a moment he pulled back then jumped up in the air and was gone in an instant. I stared at Victoria. She stayed still the longest time. I studied her emotion.

Victoria POV

I turned around slowly and finally noticed James. Oh...I am in trouble. "James." He walked over to me and I wondered why I hadn't known he was there before. Oh yeah...I hadn't been breathing. "Victoria...do you know how angry it makes me when I see someone else kissing my mate?"

"James I'm sorry I didn't know he was going to really do it...I thought he was going to kiss my cheek and-" I felt his hand his my cheek and I stood there in shock. "Cheek or not you are mine. Anything on you is mine. He can't touch anything no matter what he thinks is between you two!" My cheek stung from when he hit me. James had never done that before. I put my hand against my cheek and looked at him. I glared and he growled at me. He put his hand under my chin and pulled my head up to meet his sharply. He put his lips against mine and kissed me hard. When I didn't respond her stopped, pulled back then looked at me. "If I didn't know any better...I would think that you actually wanted him." I shook my head no quickly and saw him smile. "Good." He stroked the cheek he had hit. "Don't worry about this Vick...I'm just getting down to the truth." With that he walked off.

Laurent POV

I saw James and Victoria standing still together. When James walked away I went up to Victoria. "Since when does James turn to abuse?" She turned to me and smiled. "Laurent...so nice to see you." She hugged me and I hugged her back, smelling two different scents on her. "You need to choose Victoria...otherwise your going to be branded a mixture." She rolled her eyes and I saw the imprint of James hand on her cheek. "A shame you can't cover that up." She put her hand on her cheek and I saw her eyes narrow. "Nevermind that...we have to get down to business." I gave a sharp nod then smelled the fresh blood of a human. I looked around for it and noticed Victoria looking up. I looked at well and saw the one named Riley who had approached me before. He landed and threw the human down. "After finishing the meal." Victoria added to her previous sentence and hurridly went to the human, took his wrist and bit down, drinking. I crossed my arms and watched as Riley looked at Victoria's cheek.
