First part starts in Grimmjow's POV

Chapter 24: Mine

I don't know what got over me, but I ended up texting Nicara and going over to her house. I knocked on her window a few times before she let me in, and I was shocked at what I saw. It was only about two weeks since I last saw the woman, but she was obviously thinner than before. She probably lost 15 pounds in the short time frame, which was not normal. Her skin was pale, lips chapped, and when I grabbed her wrist it was cold and clammy.

For some reason she wouldn't look at me, so I grabbed her chin and forced her to make eye contact. Then she looked away and kept fuckin' lying to me, telling me nothing was wrong even though it was written all over her face. She wasn't a good liar, that's for sure. Somehow I ended up making her cry, which sucked cause I didn't know what to do. Comforting people wasn't something I've done before, the feeling had never occurred to me until now. Her crying irritated me because I swore I would kill anyone if they made my girl cry, it turns out it's me. Fuck.

I eventually carried Nicara to her bed, keeping her in my arms as I snuggled ourselves under the blankets. She instantly fell asleep. I, on the other hand, did not. It wasn't because I was uncomfortable, or having trouble sleeping, I didn't want to sleep. I hated to admit it, but I missed having this woman in my arms.

After I knew she was fast asleep, I slowly placed light kisses along her neckline. I noticed the hickey I marked her with before we separated was gone. It was so tempting to bite her right then and claim her again, to hear her moan my name in pleasure, but I knew I couldn't. It would be wrong to take advantage in this weak state of hers.

Surprisingly I didn't realize it before, but around her neck still hung the key pendant I gave her. It probably didn't mean much, but it meant something. If she really hated me that much she wouldn't still be wearing it. At least something of mine was still on her.

I continued trailing kisses up her neck, to her jaw line, and stopping just at the corner of her lips. What has this woman done to me? I've been attracted to her since the day we met, and even now. Sure I've been acting like a total bastard towards her, but the way I felt for her hasn't changed. I still want her and only her. She belongs to me, and no one else. No other bastard is going to get the chance to touch her, she's mine now whether she likes it or not.

Waking up from the best sleep I've had in weeks was truly rejuvenating; especially when it's in your boyfriends arms, scratch that, my ex boyfriend's arms. Hopefully this wasn't going to get too awkward. My position hadn't changed since last night. I was still in his lap, his arms securely around my waist. The main difference, his head was slumped over my shoulder, lips against my neck. It reminded me of old times, but it felt wrong. He shouldn't have stayed the night, he was suppose to leave and let me cry.

I attempted breaking out of his grasp, to no avail. My back ended up falling flat against the mattress, Grimmjow's body crushing me, his face against my chest. I pushed against his chest, which stirred him awake.

Slowly, he got on all fours and looked straight down at me. I blushed a little, uncomfortable with his closeness. "Grimmjow, can you please get off me?"

Well, I guess he wasn't exactly on me anymore, I was just sandwiched between him and the mattress. He didn't seem to hear me cause he gave me this intense look and started leaning down. He was about to kiss me.

My heart began racing, questions running though my head as his lips got closer and closer. Did I want this? Did I still have feelings for him as well? Yes, I know I do, but I broke up with him for a reason and he's been a total jerk since. We were suppose to be friends now, nothing more.

At the last second, I turned my head away and blocked his lips with my hand.

"I...I think you should go now," I muttered sadly. I didn't dare look at him as I said that, for I knew he was upset.

"Fine," he grunted. He immediately pushed himself off the mattress, angrily making his way out the window. "Don't expect me to come back, " he spat, slamming the window shut.

A couple tears threatened to fall, but I held them back. There Grimmjow was again, acting so harsh. One minute he was gentle and caring, the next, he hates me again. Did I do something wrong? I know I rejected his kiss, but I didn't want to mislead him and let things go too far. If I had let him kiss me, it would've turned out to be much more than that, and my body wouldn't have been able to resist it. What I did was for the best.

It was the first time I've been out on my own for a while. It was nice to finally get some fresh air. Since I took a leave of absence from work, I was going to pass by the club to pick up some pay stubs and drop off a doctors note. After I got my stuff from the office I went to the bar to say a quick hello to my co-workers. I took a seat and had a quick chat with my good friend Amelia. It wasn't too busy, so she was able to chat we me a little between orders.

"Are you feeling better yet, Nicara?" she asked while preparing a drink.

"A little, but I still need a little more time off."

I could tell Amelia was a little upset with my answer, but at the same time she understood and didn't question me. "I guess that's okay, Chloe's been filling in for your shifts."

I cringed at the thought of Chloe replacing me, and apparently Amelia noticed.

"I heard what happened, I can't believe she did such a thing. I don't blame you if you hate her. In fact, I hate her for hurting you."

I sighed, trying not to think about it. "It's okay...I guess she proved Grimmjow was an unfaithful bastard after all."

Amelia shook her head, disagreeing. "She must've blackmailed your boyfriend or something. I've seen the way he looks at you, you're the only girl in his eyes."

"I'm really flattered, but Grimmjow slept with Chloe, so obviously I'm not the only one he wants."

"Have you heard his side of the story?" Amelia suddenly retorted.

I was slightly taken aback by her tone, it almost sounded angry. "Well...kinda, not really." I admitted sheepishly.

She put a hand on her hip and gave me a stern look before looking off somewhere behind me. "Then I'll leave you two alone so he can explain."

Wait, what? Leave the two of us alone?

Before I could ask what Amelia meant, she already walked away to serve some customers. That's when I felt a hot breath against my ear and body heat radiating onto my back. I whipped around to find Grimmjow standing behind me.

"Grimmjow," I half shrieked, my entire body tensing up. "What are you doing here?" My voice was full of panic, and I'm sure he heard it.

"Your friend told me you'd be here," he said, looking straight into my eyes.

I looked away immediately, first to the ground, then to my fidgeting hands in my lap. Wait a minute, that means Amelia set this up. Why would she do such a thing? I didn't want to deal with this right now.

"I, I need to go now." I stuttered, attempting to leave. Before I could walk past him, he grabbed onto my wrist, electricity flowing through his touch.

"I want you," he blatantly stated.

"You what?" I questioned, making sure I heard that right.

"I, " he took a deep breath. "I want you back." he repeated once more.

I shook my head sadly, trying to make him let go of me. "Grimmjow," I muttered, " I already told you it's best if we just stay friends."

He let out a frustrated sigh, but still held onto my wrist while his other hand roughly combed through his hair. "It's cause I had sex with that woman isn't it? Well guess what? She doesn't mean shit to me."

"Grimm, stop..."

"No, listen to me damn it! What was I suppose to do? Force myself on you? I already lost control once and made you cry. You think I'd risk that a second time?"

Taking a step forward, he let go of my wrist and cupped my face with both his hands. His voice softened as he whispered, "You're the only thing in this fuckin' world that means anything to me."

A tear slid down my cheek. That was by far the sweetest thing he had ever said to me. "But mating season, when it rolls around again, will you end up sleeping with another woman?"

He gave a small sigh, before answering. "If you're not willing to be my mate during that time, then I guess I have to." I didn't like his answer at all, my body began to pull away a little. Grimmjow noticed and quickly retorted, "Then what do you want me to do, what did you want me to do?"

"I don't know!" I spluttered, my emotions getting the best of me. "I just don't want anyone else to have you. Especially if she's beautiful and you end up wanting her more than me and..."

"That won't happen, Nicara. No other women I have met has captured my attention the way you have. You're like a drug that I will never be able to quit, no matter how hard I try to replace you, there is nothing more addicting than you."

Being compared to a drug wasn't exactly comforting, but at the same time I understood what Grimmjow meant. He wasn't the type of guy who knew how to express his feelings and straight out say 'I love you.' Instead, he explained how I am the only one for him, no matter how many other girls there are. "I'm sorry," I apologized. "For being stubborn and not letting you explain yourself."

His face lighted up immediately. "So does that mean you're mine again?"

I nodded, wiping the tears in my eyes with the sleeve of my shirt. "Yes, I forgive yo-"

Before I could finish my sentence, someone yanked Grimmjow away.

"Grimmjow, honey, I didn't know you came to visit me." Chloe's voice rang through my ears as I watched her press her body against Grimmjow.

"Fuck off woman," Grimmjow growled, attempting to push her away.

"You wanna fuck me? Ready when you are."

"It was a one time thing, it's never going to happen again."

She tilted her back so Grimmjow could have a good view of her breasts, while she swirled a finger on his chest. "Oh babe, don't say that. You look tense, let me loosen you up."

I watched as Chloe's hand went to grab the area between Grimmjow's legs. Something inside of me snapped, and I slapped her hand away before she could touch him. I angrily walked up and stood between her and my boyfriend.

"He's mine." I growled.

"Yours?" she laughed, "Prove it," she challenged.

I don't know what got into me, but I was determined to beat that bitch. I turned to face Grimmjow and pulled him down to my level. Next, I placed my hands on his shoulders. My lips went to the tendon on his neck, and I bit down hard enough to draw blood. When my teeth sunk into his flesh, his hands gripped my body, a low moan escaping his lungs. I sucked and licked at his skin until it stopped bleeding, using my sleeve to wipe my lips after I pulled away.

Chloe stood there looking absolutely shocked by my actions.

"Now that you can see he's mine, don't ever put your slutty hands on him again!"

With that statement I marched out of the building, pulling Grimmjow along with me.

The night air was cool against my skin as we weaved through the downtown sidewalks. It probably felt colder than it should of because my body was over heated from the drama. Honestly, I never imagined myself doing such a thing, but I couldn't stand it anymore. I'm not going to let her have what's mine. After we made it around the block, Grimmjow, who I've been pulling behind me, halted to a stop. I turned back to see what was keeping him.

Before I could completely turn around, I was lifted and pushed up against the nearest building wall. He also didn't take any time to ravish my lips with his kisses, his tongue battling for dominance. My hands automatically found their way to his chest, then to his shoulders, and finally around his neck. Usually I would be absolutely against making out like this in public, but tonight I didn't give a damn. When he pulled away, he had that signature grin on his face, one that I haven't seen in a long time.

"I never knew you'd be so hot when you're angry and jealous. What you did in there was unbelievable, you never cease to amaze me."

I blushed immediately, slightly embarrassed. "What?..."

"You know exactly what I'm talking about, Nicara. And since you got to claim me, I get to claim you tonight," he whispered seductively into my ear, sending a chill down my spine.

I gulped at his last statement, what exactly did he have in store for me tonight?
