Chapter Thirteen: Freyas Point Of View

We had went back to the Moon Temple and Selene and the twins swarmed me. After hours of explaining to them what happened and why I had to they seemed satisfied with all my answers. They knew better than to ask about Astor. I wasn't about to tell them anything. It wasn't their business and I was extremely conflicted about all of it. There was so much running through my head about it.

I groan and stretch out on the bed. Astor hadn't come to see me. Which I thought was weird. And for some reason being away from him was hard. Was it the Mate Bond that did that? If it was it sucked. How was I ever going to be by myself again if I felt this needy over not being around him and its literally been 2 hours!

I groan again and roll on to my stomache and stare at the wall. This was stupid and I wasn't going to be able to sleep. I know I needed to sleep but the bed felt to empty. And I really wanted to kick myself for that thought.

'Mistress it's okay to care for him. Maybe you shouldn't fight it. The bond is forming.' I growl at Shade. She wasn't wrong it would be easier to not fight it so hard. And it was obvious to Astor how I felt when I practically plowed him over because I was scared something happened to him. I can actually cried..I don't remember the last time that I cried.

'He and Aro love you. They want to protect you and make sure that you are happy. I can talk to Aro you know.' I was glaring daggers at the wall. Because again I couldn't glare at Shade. She laughs lightly and I could imagine her shaking her head at me.

'Just go to him. I'm sure he's having trouble sleeping as well.' I let out a clipped sigh and sit up. My hair falling down around me. I glance down at my night clothes. Which consisted of an over sized tee shirt that came to my knees. I wasn't comfortable in clothes while I slept but I could exactly sleep naked.

I chew in my bottom lip for a moment before mustering the courage to get up and leave my room.

I walk down the hallways until I end up at his door. My heart was pounding every so slightly. I raise my hand to knock but stop. What if He sent me away? What if he didn't want to be bothered right now?

I could feel my hand dropping. This was ridiculous! I open the door and step inside, closing it behind me quietly.

"Little Dragon? what are you doing here?" I turn fast and my mouth drops open. Astor's copper hair was slicked back and damp. He stood there wearing nothing but his boxers...I openly gwack at the God of a man standing there. I knew he was built but Damn. A whole six pack and chisled muscles everywhere. It stirred something inside me. Astor smirks at me bit doesn't move. I could feel my face warm. Oh great Freya! You're being a freak.

"I- co-couldnt sleep." I mentally kick myself. That's just great! Stutter on top of it all!

"Me either. Is there something on your mind?" Yeah you. Both my eyebrows shoot up at my own thought. What the hell?!

"I- well." Was he really gonna make me ask? Astor looks like he realizes something and he smiles softly.

"Come on. You can sleep here tonight." I sigh relieved that I didn't have to say it out loud. I rush over to the bed crawling in and under the blankets. I didn't miss Astor's low growl though. I caught myself smiling.

Astor crawls in behind me and wraps his body around mine. I let out a small gasp as bare skin touched mine causing my body to ignite.

"Better?" I let out a shaky sigh but nod. Astor chuckles and buries his face in my hair and neck causing me to shiver. His closeness and where his bare skin touched mine..it had my mind wondering to some pretty dirty places.

Astor groans and inhales several deep breaths. I turn to my other side so that I am facing him.

Bad idea! His eyes were glowing. I give him a curious look.

"You have no idea what you do to me." His voice was low and deep. It made me tremble but not in a bad way. With another growl his arm tightened around my waist. A Strange ache formed in my body. I felt his hand travel down and lightly graze up my thigh. Causing me to have a sharp intake of breath.

My night shirt came up with his hand as he got to my hip and found my laced panties. His hand stopped as he grazed the material and he growled again. My body felt tingly and burned. I wanted him to keep going. I found myself letting my hands rack over his abs and chest. Causing him to moan. I give a curious smile. Astor's hand found my side and gave it alittle squeeze before grabbing my ass, and devoring my mouth. I did moan then. It was all the invitation he needed. I gasp as he pinns me underneath him. With him between my legs. I was very aware of what was going on down there.

But my body moved on its own as I slide down getting closer to him.

"I'm marking you tonight." His voice was a deep growl and it sent a current through my body. I knew I wasn't going to stop him...

*****ASTOR'S POINT OF VIEW.*****

I just stared at Freya's sleeping form next to me. Her flaming hair spread across her naked back. I could see the faint smile on her lips as she slept. I couldn't help but smile. It had been a long time since I had sex. But with her it was different...I chuckle lightly. Really different. I glance up at the scorched head board. Yeah we'd have to get something made that was fireproof.

I look back to Freya and I notice The marking tattoo on her shoulder Blade. I trace I lightly causing her to squirm alittle under my touch. Aro growls.

'Let mate sleep! She's tired." I roll my eyes at Aro. He was so protective over her. She was OUR mate not just hers. That earned me another growl from him.

'What now?' I asked him. He sighs heavily.

'Shade says she needs sleep because it was her first time doing anything. Don't wake her.'

Her first time? My heart swelled. She was waiting for the person that she would love to have sex with? That meant that I would have been her first kiss too. I knew I was grinning like an idiot now. She was perfect and completely mine now.

Her brother may have a problem with that. But it was a good way to get that peace that he supposedly wanted. I pull Freya to me and wrap myself around her. I couldn't explain it but Niko gave me a bad vibe. Like he was faking all of the kindness and warmth that he showed anyone.

There was something wrong with him. Freya's soft whimper draws my attention. She was having a night mare.
