The Taste of Seduction

A sudden, loud whooshing sound startled her out of her minded pacing. Her head whipped toward

the window, where the noise had come from.

Atlas stood in front of her , his hair ruffled and he was wearing black t-shirt, black pants and black gloves with a rope wrapped around his waist. She watched as he untied the rope around his waist.

Meredith couldn\'t believe he had actually climbed this tall building.

"What the hell? You could have been hurt! What were you thinking? What if someone had seen you?" Meredith stood up, anger and concern glinting in her eyes.

Atlas folded his muscled arms across his broad chest as he leaned casually against the wall. His

eyes raked slowly down her body and she realized she was wearing a very short, silk nightgown.

Atlas\'s eyes lifted back to her face, and Meredith blushed as his glare pierced into her, paralyzing her to the spot. His expression seemed to become more and more angry with each passing second.

"Atlas- \'\' Meredith started to whisper, but was cut off as Atlas lunged towards her and pushed her into the wall with her lips caught in a possessive kiss.

Meredith\'s heart started beating faster as Atlas\'s lips became more desperate against hers, her need for him escalated inflaming her desire.

Her body loosened and she found herself submitting into the kiss.

She moaned into his mouth as the familiar, tingling

warmth began to spread in her lower belly.

The kisses were rough, possessive yet so sensual. Meredith\'s hand entangled into his hair as his mouth claimed her silently. He didn\'t have to say anything; his touches were enough to convey his message.

You\'re mine…only mine.

Atlas\'s left hand roughly grabbed the back of her right leg, jerking it up and swinging it around his hip, pulling her core tightly against him.

Meredith moaned as every inch of her lit up with the burning, urgent need to possess him while

he eagerly flexed his hips, grinding the hard bulge of his massive erection against her center.

Heat shot through her core and she felt a dampness gathering between her legs. The ache between her thighs grew more and more insistent.

Atlas trailed kisses along her shoulders and down to the ridges of her breasts. Meredith felt like her body was on fire.

Her head fell back,and a moan escaped from her lips as he sucked her right nipple through her nightdress.

She missed him. Missed his touch. Missed his dominance. She wanted..no needed more.

A cool breeze from the opened window made her shivered, goosebumps forming on her skin.

"Atlas…." Meredith whined.

Atlas teeth nipped harshly at her neck and Meredith whimpered at the pain before he licked and kissed at the bite marks.

"Tell me you\'re mine…" He demanded as he pulled away, his eyes wild and crazed with lust.

"I\'m yours. Only yours."

His hands caressed her cheeks and Meredith leaned into his touch with her eyes closed.

"Tell me again…" he whispered, pulling her head

back by her hair, exposing her throat, as he trailed

his tongue and lips up and down the column of her

throat.

Meredith shivered, this kind of Atlas was so dangerous yet he was all she wanted, all she could think about.

She squeezed her eyes shut as desire burned in her brain and she could think of nothing else.

" I\'m yours.My mind, body, soul, heart all is yours.!"

Meredith gasped,

"Then tell me, Angel, why did you allow him to touch what is mine?" Atlas growled, his eyes blazing like blue flames.

"Atlas…"

"I\'m so jealous….so fucking jealous and I don\'t know what to do. This feeling it\'s so painful and I just want you, to consume you, ruin you so badly that you would be disgusted by another man\'s touch."

Atlas murmured as he shook with anger. He clenched his fist and avoided her gaze.

Meredith\'s heart broke into two. Poor Atlas, all of these feelings might be so new and confusing to him. And the fact that he can\'t even act on it might hurt him so much. Meredith grabbed his clenched fist, tiptoed and pressed a kiss on his forehead

"I love you." She whispered against his forehead, pulling herself against him, welding every inch and curve of her body to his.

Meredith felt a tear spill over his cheek and she kissed away his tears. She hated how vulnerable she had made him over the past few weeks.

"Angel…."

He breathed, his arms tightening around her. The way he said, the endearment, so delicately, so lovingly, sounded like the answer to all his problems.

"Atty…" Meredith replied.

"I wish…. I was the one giving you the ring today.

His eyes softened. "I wish that more than you\'ll

ever know. But I don\'t think your people would even accept me. They have a handsome powerful vampire lord as their future king." He spat, jealousy laced in his voice.

Meredith\'s let out a shaky breath as his words pierced through her heart . The people were supposed to be more important to her than anything. The kingdom had to come first.

Anger coursed through her as she felt a sudden hatred for them, for the crown… She didn\'t want it... It wasn\'t fair.. Everyone kept reminding her but what about what she wanted?!

"You looked so beautiful today, my wolf wouldn\'t stop talking about you. "

Atlas lifted a hand and brushed the back of his

knuckles against her cheek. "You beautiful seductress, you have even charmed my wolf and now he is obsessed with you just as I am."

He met her gaze with gentle, blue depths and

smiled weakly at her.

"All of this is new to me and I can\'t explain but ever since I saw you at the ballroom, he\'s been out of his fucking mind with this overwhelming, protective,possessive drive to be near you. And when I saw you with Marcus….I wanted to kill him for touching you."
