A/N: I don't own anything. It all belongs to Rachel Caine. MPOV

Chapter 4

"Claire I'm going to work now" I say realizing what I just did to her. Shit I just compelled her. I want to take back. I want to get on my knees and proclaim my love too her. Tell her that, that kiss meant everything to me and to her. That she should dump that tool of a boyfriend for me. But I don't I just walk away. Making my way to the door I hurriedly leave not trusting my mouth or my heart I dash to my car.

Arrived at my job I sit in the parking lot. I start to be filled with rage. I can't believe that Claire picked that asshole over me, even if she didn't know it was a competition. Wait that asshole is my best friend. Arrogant, hard headed, violent, ignorant, but big hearted, strong willed, and courageous still my best friend. I realize my thoughts are wrong even though I think that Shane doesn't deserve Claire he loves her with all his heart. I noticed that I was late for work. My thoughts staying in the car while my body left.

I sit on the couch reflecting. Something I was supposed to remember I didn't. I chose to forget about as watched Michael leave. Shit I was going to be late for my first class if I didn't get going. But I couldn't get the thought off something missing from my mind. Like a memory has been erased. Walking out the door I try to remember everything that happened this morning. I came downstairs, made coffee, saw Michael downstairs shirtless, kissed Shane but still can't understand how I got to the couch. Running toward biology class I forget everything and sprinted I don't stop until I get there.

As I hand Monica and her little Barbie's there coffee C-bear walks in. I yell to Oliver that I'm taking 5 leaving him with the over flowing crowd. He mumbles something unintelligent about me working at the common grounds but I ignore him. Monica turns her perfectly tan legs with a fluid movement.

"Look what cat dragged in a freak of nature and the vampires pet." She sneers with a toss of her hair she shimmies away shaking an ass she doesn't have. Her Barbie's quickly following. Claire now standing next to me shook her head in disgust after Monica. But flashed me a smile.

"I saw you in a crappy mood this morning what wrong." She looked at me searching my face like the answer was written in invisible ink and if she looks hard enough it might just reappear.

"Michael acting weird." I say realizing that really what's bothering me.

"Acting weird how?"

"Acting weird how?" I say knowing that not like Michael.

"Last night while he was sleeping he was saying your name awfully a lot like a prayer. Then when we woke I asked I'm to join me in the shower but he said no. He never ever says no."

"Eve just because he doesn't feel a shower doesn't mean he's acting weird."

"But it ME, Michael never say no to me." She says wide eyed

"Listen to me we'll take about this later I got to go to work." I say hurrying because god knows how Myrnin gets when I'm late.

Walking through the glass house door I see Clare as beautiful as ever. I remember what happen this morning and I start to blush.

"Hey Michael." She says with a dazzling smile. At first I don't respond I listen to hear heartbeats, but one only fills my ear. I really should work on self-control because when I'm around her that all goes out the window. I cross the kitchen in a heartbeat. Leaning over her I start to finish the kiss we started this morning." We come for air and she says "We shouldn't be doing this."

"We shouldn't be doing this." But after I said the words left my mouth I realized they weren't true.

"Is that what you really want, to stop."

"No." I answered too quickly. Wow cheating on Shane should have been harder for me but it wasn't.

"Let's go upstairs." I nod my head and lead him upstairs. He kissed me before we entered my room passion and hunger brought me back to this…us on the couch…me yelling at him to tell me the truth….. he acting like it never happened….I feel the rage inside me.

"Michael how could you, how could you compel me?" His face turn from pure bliss to agonized like he got stabbed.

"I'm so sorry." He just kept saying. Me not waiting for an excuse entered my room and slammed the door in his face. He didn't knock just walked in and kissed not waiting for my protests will all he had. We quickly advance to my bed where his hands linger to my breasts. As he tongue darted into my mouth I moaned in response. Pulling his blond hair with one and a unfastening is belt with another he whisper's into my ear "I love you more than you know." I respond by easing off his boxers as he with ease gets off my bra. Bare and half naked I began to cover my chest but Michael lifts my hands above my head. He began to lick my nipples, as hard as his dick. He began to suck and pull which drives me crazy. My hands moved to his torso. This was it; we were going to do it. I pulled his boxers and he entered me. As he rocked me he tried to be gentle knowing his was dick big. My hip matched his movements perfectly. Causing us to moan in ecstasy, my feet curled and my back arched.

"Michael I think-"my brain couldn't even form words let alone sentences

"Clare I know." About like 6 pumps later, he pulls out slowly us both breathing hard and sweaty I wrap my leg around him and just stare at the ceiling, I feel my eyes close not worrying about anything not Shane, not Eve, not what anyone would think…..
