"Where are you going?" I was halted in my step when I hear Rudolf's voice behind me. I turn around to see him standing at his door with his arms crossed.

"Down." I reply before turning around and continuing my walk.

A presence comes beside me, I turn my head slightly and raise my eyebrow at him in question without breaking my pace.

Putting his hands inside his jeans' pocket, he simply shrugged saying, "I am going down too."

I hum in response, my lips twitching. I descend the stairs with him following suit.

"How are your wounds?"

"They are better now."

"The doctor said you should not walk or do stressful activities." He commented, as we step down the stairs. I halt at the end of the stairs, making him pause too as he stares down at me. 

"I had taken worst blows than this. This is nothing." I wave my hand before turning around and making my way into the kitchen. I notice him on my toes, following behind. 

"Are you going at the same direction, I am as well?" I question, a little irritated by his hovering. 

"What? I think we both are seemed to be going at same direction which looks like kitchen." He rebutted with a hint of amusement in his tone. 

"Hmmm.." I muse before making a sharp turn towards the living room. 

And surprise surprise surprise. 

He follows. 

An idea pops in my head, making me lips twitch in a suppressed smile. Just for the hack of it, I made a round circle of the living room by covering each corner of the room and then went to the kitchen. But then I didn't stop there, I move towards the counter in the kitchen but without touching anything, I turn around again to make my way outside of the kitchen. 

I heard a groan before a hand snakes around my arm, pulling me back. My lips twitch, wanting to break out in a grin when I look at his frowning but amused eyes. 

"Very sneaky, little dove." He commented, narrowing his eyes at me. I throw my head back and laugh slightly. Shaking my head at his stupid ass. 

Taking a deep breath, I look back at him and I gasp lightly as I look at him. 

His eyes have turned the colour of golden but the intense look in his eyes pierce my soul. His intense but tender eyes seem to pin me on my spot. He has a serious face as his eyes roam my face before staring at my lips as in trance. 

I gulp, taking a step back in reflex but he seems to match my movement as he closes the distance between us immediately. 

"Rudolf..." I whisper. 

Why I am acting like this? I ask myself as my heart picks a beat. If it was any other day, I would be kicking his balls until he gives me my personal space, I so much cherish.

Maybe it is the fact that past days he has been taking care of me all day, even when I was spitting fire, he has shown a calm behaviour in this tug of war. Always checking up at me late night when he thinks I am sleeping.    

Even when I don't want to admit it, I am getting used to his persistent behaviour. I know I am not an easy person but it does not seem to faze him. The more I push, the more he pulls. 

I will not say he has cracked my walls but there sure is damn wall big dent on them. 

I hate it. I hate the way he makes me feel. Like I am someone important to him. Like I am someone worth fighting for. Like I am someone for him to love.

Love, I thought bitterly. 

Some people are not born for love... I am one of them, I remind myself.

I broke out of my thoughts when I feel a touch on my skin. My eyes snap towards him. 

He is looking at me with same expression while the back of his hand strokes my cheek lightly like he is afraid if he puts too much pressure, I will pull away. 

Move, feet. Take a step back. Freaking move. I sneer inside my head. 

Past days, I have come to another realization which is that my mind and body have stopped coordinating with each other. 

No matter what I tell my body, it seems to be doing everything opposite. 

Like instead of moving back, my face leans towards his hand that is stroking my face. 

I AM BLAMING MATE BOND!

Seeing my action, a fire ignites in his eyes. As I stare in his eyes, it seems to consume me, swallowing me whole. I gulp at the plethora of feelings which seem to bombard my chest. 

What the actual fuck? I try to connect with all the snarky voices inside my head but I got no response. 

ABORT! My mind keeps screaming but damn to hell this body which has decided to stay in the same spot. 

I watch as Rudolf takes another step forward. So close... He is so close. I can see feel his breath against my cheek, his chest pushed against mine. His other hand snakes around my waist, pushing my body flush against his. 

I gasp loudly, my hands hold his shoulders, on instinct as his lips trail from my cheek to the corner of my mouth. I can feel my whole body shaking as sparks erupt on the path his skin makes on mine. 

What the hell is going on with me? My breathing increases as my mind becomes jumbled mess of thoughts. 

"Push me, Dove." He whispers against my mouth, gruffly. 

Push him? I thought in confusion 

Yes you thirsty body, push him before he kisses you and then you end up in kicking his balls for kissing you which you would be partially responsible because you let him!

I open my mouth slightly to respond but no voice leaves my lips. I curl my fingers to push him but instead of pushing him back, I bunched up his shirt. 

What the fuck, fingers. Act damn straight before I cut you off my body!

"Push me back, Miracle, before I do something which you may not like, yet.." He whispers again but this time a constraint is there. Like he is trying hard to hold himself. 

I blink my eyes, repeatedly, feeling confused and bothered. But not bad bothered but a good kind of bothered. A kind of bothered which you want to be again and again and.... 

Stop right there you blubbering mind.... 

A weird sensation overtakes my mind and body, tingles spreading all over my skin. 

His touch makes me feel something which I have never felt before for so long. I have even forgotten what its like to have this feeling...

Calm.... 

So calm... 

A feeling of warmth seeps inside my chest as a calming sensation takes over my raging mind. My throat closes at these feelings. I have never felt this feeling in a long time. Feeling the dryness on my lips, I lick them to sooth which does not go unnoticed by him as an animalistic growl rumbles from his chest, making my eyes wide open. 

That seems to bring me back to my senses but when I was about to take a step back his arm tightens around me in almost a possessive manner. 

Wide eyes, I look at him to see the tender look replaced by something more deeper look. His eyes penetrate me as a slight smirk turns his lips. 

"You should have done it when I had told you to push me back, mate." Before I could register his words, his lips slams into mine. 

A gasp leaves my lips but it was engulfed by him when he plunges his tongue in my mouth and caress my tongue and lips. His lips moves against mine in a passionate manner while I remain frozen in my spot. 

His other hand moves towards my hairs and fists them as he angles my head for better access. 

My body and mind both late to register the course of actions because of the shock but when his hand which was on my hairs move down to the mark on my neck to trace them with his finger, a different sensation erupts inside my body. 

Before I could think about my actions, my lips try to mimic the movement of his lips as my eyes shut close. 

Testing... 

He seems to slow down to my pace and kisses me slowly in a sensual manner, making my leg quiver. 

His hand slowly slides down my back, teasingly. 

But when he can continue any further, a loud gasp is heard which neither belong to me nor to Rudolf. 

My eyes instantly snap open as my head turns towards the sound to find a woman with a small kid in her arms, looking at us with wide eyes. A blush taking over her cheeks, before she started apologizing profusely. 

"I am so sorry...so sorry... I will leave right away... I - I just wanted to... in kitchen... I.. so sorry." She kept on rumbling.

"Go." Rudolf stated as his head drops on my shoulder, making me jump. 

"Alpha...I-I am sorry.. I didn't know-"

"It is fine. Go..." Although his voice was low, there was slight growl in his tone. The woman jumped and hurriedly left but I did not miss the way she was trying to hide her smile. I narrow my eyes on her. 

"Fuck..." I jump when I heard his voice too close then I realize where he is. 

I pushed back immediately, putting a fair distance between us. I try to calm my breathing without looking at him.

What did just happen?

What had you done, Miracle?

Bloody hell.... 

You are doomed for life... 

I was having a little mental breakdown when I heard him again. 

"You are a drug, Miracle... My drug." His eyes stare at me with something dark and intense swirling in them. I gulp as I remember what had just happened between us. 

He kissed me... 

I kissed him back... 

We kissed.. 

We kissed each other... 

He was my first kiss!!!

My eyes widen. He looks at my expression and a small smile takes over his face. He takes steps towards me. 

"Stop right there, you reindeer." 

He laughed loudly at my response but didn't stop until he was infront of me.

"Now that I know, you may not despise me like you pretend to do, there is nothing which can keep me away from you, Dove." I opened my mouth to given him a nasty retort but he put his finger on my lips, quieting me down. 

"Shush, little dove..." he whispers near my ear before continuing

"You are so sweet.... and now I can't get enough of you..." He sniffs my hairs as his shoulders jerk, making me halt. 

"Run...run if you don't want a repeat of that... Because I am so close to pushing you at the counter and having my way with you....." He growls.

When his words register inside my head, I took a big step back and glared at him which only seems to amuse him. 

"I will break your hands before you touch me.." 

"I think you will be begging me to put my hands on you when it happens, Dove." He smirks, a challenge in his eyes. 

I open my mouth but he cuts me off... Again. Bloody balls of thread! I will sew his mouth if he cuts me off again!

"Go before I loose the little bit of control I have mustered, Dove." He looks at me seriously. 

I weigh my option... 

I can either punch his face now or punch his face later. 

I choose punch his face later because I need to process what happened. 

Turning around, I hurriedly leave the kitchen and make my way outside. 

My hand moves to my lips which were still tingling because of the kiss. A smile threatened to break off but I suppress it when I see some people around. 

What the fuzzy hoodies!
