She took a deep breathe to calm here nerves. Days of avoiding had to come to an end for today. Not only did she have to get her should checked out by McCoy to see if it was healing right but she had to gets some answers from him too. Maybe get some more pain meds for the bite he gave her. It was still tender to the touch and had become even darker in color, forcing her to wear a scarf to wear a scarf so no one would ask questions on what happened.

It was awkward between them. Neither said a word as she stripped off her shirt so he could look at the wound. There was really no point in being embarrassed he had already seen her when he performed surgery.

His hands trailed along her skin gently, sending tingles down her spine. He'd ask her simple questions. Did she switch the gauze twice a day? Did she need more medication. Was she doing the exercises he gave her? And all she could do was either nod or shake her head at his questions. She didn't trust her voice at the moment as she tried to decide to be angry at him or just let it go.

"Does it hurt?" He murmured softly. She knew he wasn't talking about her shoulder but instead of the bite he had given her. His thumb gently traced the punctures where his canine had pierced skin.

"I've had worse" she tried to joke swallowing hard as his touch sent fire through her veins.

"I am truly sorry…for everything, I wasn't quite myself but that is still not an excuse" he sighed cleaning the wound and wrapping it up again with new clean gauze.

She breathed out heavily "It's fine" she leaned against him automatically a small chuckle escaping her "I think this is the most we talked with out fighting" She smiled weakly. Her body was craving his touch.

He pulled away immediately as if he was burned by her "It's still early" he muttered watching entranced as she put her shirt back on and turned to face him.

"…Right" she chuckled. This wasn't normal. How could she go from not being able to stand in the same room as him to craving his presence in a few days "What exactly did you do to me?"

He stayed silent debating with himself on telling her the truth until finally he sighed and gave in "We…marked you"

"We?"

"Beast and I"

"Who's beast?"

"He is a part of me, my feral side, usually only comes out when I'm in battle" Hank explained.

"Like a split personality?" She asked and he nodded.

She shook her head "Can you ask him?"

"What do you mean?"

"He did something that's makes me react to you"

What did you do Hank snarled at beast only receiving a satisfied purred at the news.

"I don't know" he admitted honestly "Maybe I can study it—"

"I don't think that's a good idea"

"Why—" he caught a whiff of her pheromones "Oh" he took a step back away from her. Her face bright red from embarrassment.

"I doubt he'll give me an answer" he grumbled.

"What if I ask him?"

Hank paused as he felt beast perk up at the idea but it seemed he wanted something in return.

"He wants something in exchange"

She swallowed "Like what?"

Kiss beast purred.

"He wants a…kiss" Hank shook his head "You don't—"

"Ok" she cut him off making his eyes go widen at her in surprise at agreeing so easily "Only if he answers my questions"

"He has agreed" Hank said wary as beast began to pace in his mind in anticipation.

"Well?" She step closer to him and looked up at him waiting for him to make the first move. When he made no move she took matters into her own hands. He was well over a foot taller than her so she grabbed handfuls of his lab coat and tugged him down for a kiss.

As soon as their lips made contact, beast had taken control once more grabbing her backside and brought her flush against him. She tore herself away from the kiss gasping. He growled annoyed.

"You had your kiss now answer my questions"

"Kiss per question" he smirked.

"That wasn't part of the deal" she shook her head and he shrugged as if saying 'take it or leave it'. She wasn't sure she could handle another kiss like that with out any repercussions already her body was reacting to him. She had to think this throughly before asking him.

"What did you do? Why me?" Shit that was two question! "Wait! No! I take the second one back!" She said quickly realizing her mistake.

"Too late" he purred against her neck. She gasped as he lifted her up on to the the nearest lab table and settled himself between her legs. He wasted no time to bring her lips to his taking advantage of her gasp and forcing his tongue inside her mouth. Slowly he could feel her give in, their tongues twirled around each other fervently and becoming needier. He pulled away and trailed kisses down her neck a deep growl low in his chest.

"Submit" his hips jerked against hers making her moan and shiver against him. Why did he feel so good? Wait no! She pulled away and pushed him back. She jumped down from the table and but some distance between them.

"That was two kisses! Now I need my answers" she tried to regain her breathe.

"Marked mate, my mate" he snorted as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"That doesn't make sense, let me talk to McCoy"

He growled and gripped his head. She could see Hank fight for control against beast.

"Maya I'm sorry—"

"I don't care about that, what did he mean when he said 'marked mate, my mate'?"

Hank sighed "He marked you because you are his mate"

"Why me?"

"I don't know, its embed in him, once he caught your scent he knew you were his"

"How long will this last?"

"…For life" he grimaced feeling terrible for what he was putting her through. He had basically taken all her options on living a normal life. She wouldn't be able to date or get married or have children…not without beast becoming angry and possessive of her.

"Like seahorses?"

"I beg your pardon?" He raised a brow at her.

"Seahorses, you know 'cause they mate for life" she explained.

"In a way, yes" he nodded agreeing with her analogy.

"I need to go think?" She quickly excused herself.
