than just feeding going on. Everything inside me screamed MINE! Then I slipped into her mind replacing whoever that asshole beneath her was
with me. It didn’t take long for those thoughts to reach his mind then he
shoved her off his lap and roared like a madman. All three parts of my soul
snarled furiously and Renee’s head snapped up searching until her eyes, still
black from feeding, met mine.
I took one step in her
direction and Renee took off. I started running and I would have caught her if
the guy she’d just been fucking hadn’t intercepted me. He wasn’t much taller
than I was, maybe six foot, but he had to be carrying at least thirty pounds
more than me on his muscular body.
“She doesn’t want you,” he
growled with an angry sneer. “What does she have to do to get you to understand
that?”
“I don’t have time for you
right now,” I replied evenly, watching to see which portal Renee disappeared
through. She was changing the color and style of her hair every few seconds
trying to get lost in the crowd but I managed to keep track of her as she
pushed her way through the club. Once she was gone, I focused on the demon in
front of me. “But trust me, once I catch up to my mate and sort this out, I’ll be
back to deal with you.”
Red flames flared in his eyes
telling me he was a fire demon right before his fist flashed out and ran into
the brick wall I conjured in front of me. While he howled in pain and the wall
dissolved, I vaulted over the railing. When I landed on the stage below, the
crowd applauded and I took a bow before sprinting through the second to last
portal on the left, making sure it closed behind me.
Once I was through the
portal, I looked around and smiled. So the town in our shared dream was a real
place. Betting the house was too, I took off down the road I’d traveled a
hundred times in my sleep. When I reached the small house, I didn’t even pause
at the door. I flung the door open, went inside and found Renee in the bedroom
packing a bag.
“Going somewhere?” I asked
closing the door then leaning back against it.
She jumped about five feet in
the air and spun around to face me. “What are you doing here Solomon?”
“Getting some answers Renee,”
I replied, drinking in the sight of her.
Her hair was its natural
auburn color, but I knew the short style was only a projection from the ring
I’d given her. Renee loved her long curly locks even if she did choose short
hairstyles more often than not. To my surprise, she was wearing a black lacy mini
skirt with thigh high stockings, short high-heeled boots and a red and black
sleeveless top. She always looked great in skirts but I could probably count
the number of times I’d seen her wearing one without running out of fingers and
toes.
Forcing myself to focus on
her face, I watched her eyes dart around the room then she started edging
towards the closet. “Look Solomon, we both know you don’t want to be tied down
to one woman, least of all me, so just go back the way you came and walk away.”
I had no idea where she
thought she was going with the only exit behind me, but her body was tense and
she looked like she was ready to bolt again.
“Is that why you’ve been
trying to keep me away? Because you think I don’t want to be mated to you?” I
gritted through my teeth, moving closer to her but fighting the need to touch
her. I wanted her to want me before the mating frenzy kicked in.
She put her hands on her
hips. The way she was standing there with her hip cocked to one side was so
classic Renee that I had to smile even though I was furious with her. “What the
hell are you smiling at Solomon? There’s nothing funny about any of this. I
know how hard it’s going to be to stay away from each other but I’m not going
to make you stay with me just because some psycho in charge of fate thinks we
belong together.”
“What if I think we
belong together?” I asked, watching how she was eyeing the open closet
with me. It didn’t take long for those thoughts to reach his mind then he
shoved her off his lap and roared like a madman. All three parts of my soul
snarled furiously and Renee’s head snapped up searching until her eyes, still
