THE HEAT

Hazel shook her head again when she saw Micah walk toward the bed, clearly getting ready to sleep next to her. He just took a bath and looked fresh.

They had wandered almost all the places, but Hazel felt her body acting strange until she started feeling uncomfortable. Micah could say that easily. He then suggested they go back to their bedroom.

Hazel must have overlooked the fact that he called this room 'their bedroom'.

"Look." Hazel turned her body around and looked at Micah sternly. She wanted to be serious, but all she wanted to do was to jump on him. She must be crazy right now to even think like that. "I don't know what you are up to, but there are a dozen rooms in this crazily huge place, why are we sleeping in the same room and the same bed?"

"There are a hundred and three bedrooms to be precise."

Hazel growled in her frustration. She didn't ask the exact number of the rooms. He really had a problem understanding the issue here.

"But, why are you here?" Hazel gritted her teeth when she felt the bed dip because of his weight and now they were officially on the same bed.

"This is my bedroom," he stated in a matter of fact tone.

"I can sleep in another room."

"No. You are only allowed to sleep here."

Ugh. The way he said it made her shudder. She didn't know where this uncalled desire came from, but it wouldn't help in her case with him at all.

"I will not do anything to you." Micah laid down and took a book from the night stand.

I am afraid I am the one who will do something to you.

"Unless you want it." Micah raised his hand to ward off Hazel's attack. She actually threw a pillow at him.

"You read my mind again!" she growled in frustration. Right now, her mind was so dirty, even she felt very embarrassed to think about all those funny things that she heard from her friends, things they had done with their boyfriends, let alone letting someone else hear it.

Micah closed the book and then shifted his attention toward her. She was exceptionally agitated tonight and he knew what the problem was, that was why he asked all the people to leave this place, as they would be able to sense her 'discomfort'.

"I will teach you to do it, but you need to stop attacking me, okay?" Micah talked very gently and could see the flames behind her grey eyes. They looked like mist in the rain. And her scent… it was very intoxicating, especially at this moment.

It was not only Hazel, who had a hard time keeping her hands to herself, but the heat affected the alpha as well.

Yes, she went into heat.

Micah remembered how messy it was when she went into heat. He ended up hurting her because he was out of control. She drove him crazy and tapped open his raw desire for her.

He wouldn't do that again. Not this time around. This was not about him, but her…

Hazel's shoulders became stiff when Micah came slightly closer to her, she bit her lips and then laid down, while covering herself with the blanket.

"Okay," she said curtly, as she tried to sleep. She needed to survive this night and figure out how to find another place tomorrow, maybe she could crash at one of her friend's places.

Micah smiled when he heard Hazel's busy mind, as he picked up his book again, yet his attention was constantly drawn to what she was thinking at this moment.

======================== 

Hazel was not sure what had woken her up, but she felt so much discomfort. Her whole body felt like it was on fire.

She was sure that the air conditioner was working just fine, but for some reason, her body was very hot. Did she have a fever?

Hazel kicked the blanket away from her and laid on her stomach, but it didn't make her discomfort disappear. Soon she was back to lying on her back as she tried another position, yet there was nothing that could give her comfort.

Even though the cold wind caressed her skin, she still felt it was very hot. Her pajamas were sticking to her skin, making her feel very uncomfortable. She wanted to get rid of them. 

She breathed raggedly, as she unbuttoned her pajamas and tossed them to the floor. She pulled up the blanket again and tried to sleep just in her undies.

For a moment, this felt better, but when she started to doze off, the circle repeated all over again. She felt very hot and uncomfortable.

She whimpered because this discomfort had turned into pain now. She felt irritated for no reason. She wanted this to go away, but didn't know how to make it happen.

Right at that time, someone touched her bare shoulder to turn her body around. As the sparks danced on her skin, it felt delicious. She was pleased by this touch.

"Micah…" Her voice sounded like a whimper, just like someone, who was pleading, yet she didn't know what she was pleading for.

However, Micah knew exactly what she needed.

"Let me help you," Micah whispered into her ear, which made her gasp as his lips touched her sensitive ear. She gritted her teeth at the sensation. "Let me help you, okay?"

Hazel nodded. She didn't know what she agreed to or what she signed herself up for, but somehow, she knew that he could help her.

Micah rubbed her lips, with his thumb and this made Hazel open her eyes. She looked at him through her misty eyes, with her lips slightly ajar.

She breathed heavily, full of anticipation as to what Micah would do next. She wanted him to touch her, every inch of her skin, since the sparks between them felt so nice and the feeling of having him so close to her made her pain disappear for the moment.
