Chapter 29- Let Go

Silently raging and in confusion as to how to deal with the emotions she didn't understand.

They fought furiously, and in silence.
Moving rapidly and silently, the fight carried all over the grassy garden and even in the air.
Spotting an opening, Maria lunged forward and prepared to slit his throat.
He did nothing to stop her. Not even to move out of harm's way.
She moved at the last possible moment and ended up slamming into him, bringing the battle to a pause.
"Release me."
His arm had wrapped itself around her and wasn't moving.
"Release me now."
No response.
"Dammit Sesshomaru, let me go!"
She commenced to wriggle and thrash to try and escape.
"I cannot do as you request."
She stopped, focused intently on the voice now whispering in her ear.
"No matter how hard I've tried, I cannot let you go."
Her heart skipped.
"And as for your heart, I will return it when you return my own."
She shivered as his tongue traced the rim of her ear.
"Although, I believe that I prefer that the situation remain as is."
