Chapter 19 Kiss
Rachel couldn't sleep, she just laid in her bed, staring at the ceiling, her mind was racing with worry to Zech, the way he look earlier made her very nervous, her hands were sweating due to worry.
Vincent had already told her earlier that he was fine, but she couldn't get the fear she felt off her mind, he was still laying in his room unconscious, with one one to care for him.
As the Night dragged on, Rachel's anxiety only grew, she tossed and turned, with thought about Zech in her mind.
She tried to sleep countless times and kept telling herself it wasn't her business, that she shouldn't care for him, but when she thought if the pitiable state she saw him earlier, she just couldn't get him off her mind.
The room was shrouded in darkness, she switched on her light, and stood up from the bed, she could no longer stop herself, she walked towards her Door and down the hallways towards Zech's room which was only a few feet from hers.
She slowly twisted the handle of the door, so as not to wake him, finally she was in and he wasn't awake yet, she tiptoed to his bed and sat bedside him.
She peered at Zech's sleeping form, he looked so peaceful, his cheat raising and falling with each breath in a steady Rhyme.
Rachel breathed out in relief, seeing he was fine, finally the fear she felt creep into her mind earlier, dissipated.
She stared at his ever so handsome face, she never knew someone could be this beautiful, every inch of his face screamed perfect.
Rachel couldn't resist the urge to admire him, even in his vulnerable state. He look like an angle that descended to earth.
She had always felt drawn to him, drawn by his strength and fierce determination, she always felt safe with him around.
As she leaned in closer, She felt her heart racing. She was so close to him now, she could smell his scent, woody and masculine scent but there was this hidden unique scent she smelled,from him but she couldn't pinpoint it due to the scent of blood was too much.
She could hear the sound of his breathing so calm and steady, but suddenly his face were a few shades darker, he tossed like he we in pain, was he having a nightmare Rachel questioned her self,but the discomfort he felt increase she had no tine to think, then she immediately remembered the her necklace she always wore carried a calming scent so she moved closed and allowed him to sniff on it, soon he was back to normal, his breathing has now become steady, she smiled in satisfaction.
She leaned closer, as he hand stubbornly moved on it's own to touch his lips.
Suddenly Zech's eyes flickered open, and Rachel froze midway.
Rachel felt her cheeks burning with embarrassment, she has been caught in the act of admiring him like a lovesick high schoolgirl.
"Sorry", she stammered standing up and backing away from the bed. "I didn't mean to.. I was just worried about you".
Zech wasn't pleased seeing her in his room, she seeing him in a vulnerable state is the last thing he wanted, but he decided to tease her for now, he was going to get back at Vincent later.
Zech sat up, rubbing his eyes, "seems you just couldn't resist huh?" he saw the way her face turned red,they was a mischievous smile on his face.
She shook her head, "No, no, you misunderstand me, I just couldn't sleep, so I decided to make sure you're were okay, look at the state you arrived in earlier" she tried to find excuses but Zech wasn't buying it.
"That wasn't what it looked like earlier, was it?" He enjoyed teasing her a lot.
"Yes, I mean no" she couldn't form a proper answer, he was placing her on a tight spot, she was too embarrassed to defend herself, what is even wrong with me why did I try to touch him in the first place she questioned her self in her mind.
Zech stood up from the bed to stretch,his muscled chest, thought he still felt a little sore in the place he was burned, he was now better his wolf abilities kicked in so he was all healed, he was only putting on a short without any cloths on.
Rachel couldn't help but admire the rare sight before her, she swallowed hard.
Zech, noticed her staring, at him, he decided to tease her some more. "Seems you're enjoying the rare sight before you".
She felt her cheeks heat up, she didnt know he had caught her stealing glances of his bare back. "No,no, I wasn't, I should go, i'm sorry for waking you up"
Zech smiled seeing how much he affected her, his heart jumped with joy, but he wasn't happy seeing her wanting to leave so soon, so he turned and stepped closer to her before she could leave.
Her feet were now rooted to the ground, she couldn't leave now if she wanted to, she felt her heart racing.
"Are you sure you want to leave" he asked her seductively, crossing the small space that separated them, she could feel his hot breath on her face.
She knew she could no longer, resist his charm, she shook her head to snap out, but it didnt seem to be working.
Zech reached out and touched her cheek, and a Rachel felt a jolt of electricity rub through her.
She could no longer resist him, she leaned in closer to him, her body pressed against his, her eyes searching his.
Suddenly, before she knee what was happening she leaned in and kissed him, Zech froze he hadn't expected this move from her, it took him unawares, but he pulled him self together quickly and kissed her back in the same manner she did, she wanted him, his soft and warm lips was so inviting.
She used her tongue seeking permission into his mouth, she was so lost in the sensation, lost in the delicious taste of him, the feeling of his arms around her was incredible.
But as quickly as it had begun the kiss was over, Rachel steeped back realizing what she had just done, she was to embarrassed to raise her face.
Zech smiled wolfishly, "so you have been lusting over me huh?", he stretched his hand to touch her face but Rachel took a few more steps back.
She was to stunned to speak, she just stood there, with her heart racing, her mind spinning with what the hell had made her do such a disgraceful thing, she couldn't face him not after what she had just done.
Zech frown, swing her backing away from him, "are you now shy, you wanted this right, let me just fuck you and we get over this you ain't the first girl lusting over met anyways" he spike those words nonchalantly, he couldn't believe only just her kiss was enough to make his big monster rise, he was angry, he was the guy that didn't believe in love, all he wanted was revenge, seeing how she affected him made him angry.
"I.. I I have to go, she said badly above a whisperer her voice was shaky , she was trying so hard to suppress her tears, she didn't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing her cry.
She rushed towards the door as she was about to open it, his voice came but this time it was void if any emotion and very cold "you're not my type, I can never fall for you, so don't get any stupid ideas" she balled her hands till it was white, she slammed the door and left.
Zech didn't want her want her in his world, it was to dangerous for her, besides she just a frail human, he didn't want her getting caught in the cross fire he look at his monster was still standing, he grabbed a hand full of his hair before heading towards his bathroom.
As she raced down the hallway, her heart was pounding in her chest, she had been embarrassed but not to this extent, she was so embarrassed so hurt and so ashamed that she couldn't believe what he said to her.
What the hell was I thinking kissing him like some obsessed child, I was meant to be his secretary not some obsessed highschool love sicko.
She finally entered her room and the tears that had been threatening to fall, tickled down her eyes uncontrollably, she was beyond hurt, when did she begin to fall for him, that she was so in love with him.
But he had rejected her before she even had a change to confess her feelings to him, why is he still cruel and heartless.
She stumbled into her bed and collapsed onto it, she knew l he wouldn't accept her so easily, but his rejection struck her hard, the tears kept flowing she held her pillow and sobbing for hours, finally she slept of after crying for three hours.
