moved my hands up from his upper arms where I had been gripping to relax on his shoulders. This kiss weakened me.
He took the kiss deeper and my stomach knotted as the place between my legs heated grew wet. I lifted my hands so that I could run my hands through his hair. I gripped his hair and tugged at his hair.
He pulled back from the kiss and grabbed my hair. He yanked my head back and pressed his body to mine. I could feel his hard erection on my tummy and I gasped; my hands tightening in his hair.
He kissed my neck and then abruptly pulled back; completely stopped touching me. I opened my eyes; just now realizing that they were closed; and looked at him. He was leaning against the other wall panting silently.
Unlike me, I was panting loudly and my hands were palm-faced against the wall by hips as if trying to grab for a bar that wasn't there to hold on to. He shook his head, "Go to your room alone. I can't touch you without you proclaiming your love for me but I'm having a hard time not touching you. Goodnight."
I took a deep breath to try to steady myself but failed. As he turned to go down the hall I touched his arm, "Taliesin." My voice was shaking with need. With hunger. With passion. "What about taking me home? Will you take me home or do I have to ask someone else?"
He growled and yanked his arm away from my hand, "I'll take you home. Guess I should've guessed that you would get your way." Then he stalked away opposite from the way we were going.
"Goodnight." I muttered before turning and walking down the hall towards my room. When I got there I closed the door and braced my back against the door painting. I closed my eyes and sighed. I thought relief would come but only grief came.
Grief from knowing and feeling the distance that was put between Taliesin and me. I had to find a way past my blockage. Past the hurt. I had to admit to him someday that I loved him. Someday. Just not today.
***
I sighed and closed my eyes. I was getting used to turning back and forth without being in water. It didn't hurt so much anymore. It was just a nuisance. I didn't even crumble to the floor anymore. The ship was fixed by that afternoon but it took a week for them make plans to set up a surveillance system and my body guards up around the mansion.
Once I was back in my human form, I got dressed in my jean skirt that was short and flowed out and my black tank top. Then I left the room and met Taliesin on the other side. He hasn't spoken with me the whole week except during the meetings on what was going to happen. They wanted to get me to Rahanni as soon as possible. But even then, he didn't speak to me directly.
I looked up into his dark face. He wore a frown that he always wore around me now. He had his arms crossed over his massive chest but now he let his arms drop, "Ready to go?" There was a sigh in his voice.
I nodded, "Yes." He turned and headed down the hall. I sighed and followed him. "Okay. This is how it's going to work. I'm going to be with you wherever you go. We are not to part for any reason. Nothing will keep us apart. If for any time, we do part, I will find you and be right beside you in a heart beat. I will not leave you alone. Not even for a second."
I took a deep breath, "Do I get privacy privileges when I go to the bathroom?" He glanced over at me before turning to look ahead, "Don't get snippy with me. You're lucky I'm going through with this. I should be getting you back to Rahanni. But instead I'm allowing you to go home so you can pack and say goodbye."
I frowned, "You know, I'm starting to really wish that you actually didn't remember anything. I'm getting tired of you bossing me around." He didn't say anything.
I followed him through a door into a room where there was a group of people. They actually wore clothes instead of the purple/black scales. It was the first time I saw them since the first time I saw them change forms to prove to me that I was an alien.
"Alright. I'm going to take Princess Elena back to her place. We'll only be here for a week. Then we're leaving. I want every section around here guarded. At every hour." Taliesin announced. "If something happens to her then I will go around and find out who was slacking on their end of the line."
I crossed my arms and looked at Taliesin. He was different. I still loved him but now there was more to him and more to love.
He turned to me and grabbed my arm, "Lets go." He turned and then dragged me towards this big square door. "Everyone head out!" He yelled. He pressed his thumb to a little square that was next to the door. A sound beeped loudly and then the door opened from the top. It opened away from us and I was relieved to see grass and trees. We were back on Earth. The last planet we were on was all desert without the sand. It was all tan rock.
When the door stopped at the bottom Taliesin began to drag me outside. Once we were on the ground I tried to yank my arm out of his grip but failed. I complained, "Come on. Let go. I can walk on my own. I don't need your arrogant ass dragging me around like this."
He sighed and let go of me, "Follow me. We have a ways to walk." I humphed, "Gee. That's sounds great." "You're the one who wanted to come back so badly. Besides, we had to land where our ship was hidden by the trees. Come on."
I was panting by the time we got to the mansion. But I was relieved because now we were finally here. It took us four hours to get here. And Taliesin didn't allow me any rest.
Taliesin finally turned to look at me for the first time since we headed out and sighed. He came over over to me and grabbed my waist. He picked me up and put me over his shoulder. My head dangled at his lower back.
Then he started up towards the house. I panted and placed my hands on his lower back, "You couldn't have done that a long time ago?"
"Do you want me to put you down?" He asked. I shook my head, "No." "Then shut up. There's no need for you to get cocky." He said as he opened the door and went inside.
"Then put me down because I'll get cocky all I want. I'd rather walk than to be silenced by you."
Chapter 18: Death Toll
Taliesin put me down on the other side of the doorway and shrugged, "Suit yourself. But if you don't stop getting mouthy with me I'm gonna beat you."
I frowned and shook my head, "No you're not. I'll beat you before you even touch me." He chuckled humorlessly, "Yeah right. Hurry upstairs and start packing. I wanna be out of here before the end of the week, if possible."
I shook my head and turned around, "No. I won't. And you can't make me. So don't even try." He grabbed my shoulder and started dragging me again towards the stairs, "We'll see about that."
I started struggling, "Stop! Take your hands off of me!" "Taliesin. Let her go. Drop the macho act and be miserable by yourself. You don't have to make her miserable, as well." A voice came from behind us. It was Kailie. I recognized her voice easily. We had become good friends.
Taliesin turned to her and asked, "What garbage is Lambert feeding you now?" Lambert was her husband. But Taliesin shoved me away from him, letting me go.
I huffed, "It doesn't look like I'm the one who needs a beating." Kailie looked at me, "Would you like it administrated? I could see to it myself? Halo above knows that he needs one right about now."
I frowned and looked at her, "No, thank you. I'll . . . see to it myself . . . later." What the hell was wrong with her? Did she think that I actually meant it just because Taliesin was sure to mean it.
She laughed, "Oh, Elena. I'm not sadistic or anything. So you can wipe that look off your face. I was just playing." I looked over to meet Taliesin's hungry gaze. His eyes were lit with passion when he looked at me.
Why after all this time was he starting to look at me like that again? Oh, had I put an image into his head when I said that I'd take care of it later? Shit. I quickly turned and headed up the stairs, "I'm . . . gonna go take a long relaxing bath. Then I'm gonna call my parents and let them know I'm okay."
I went into the bathroom and turned on the water. I made sure that it was nice and hot. It was steaming. I got undressed and stepped inside. I sat down and reclined back against the tub and sighed. It felt so good. My feet ached in protest and ached for relaxation.
When I was finished I dried off and wrapped a towel around me. I held it tightly around my breasts as I opened the door. I looked out into the hall and saw that it was clear. Yes! I could get my own clothes instead of the clothes they gave me.
I went into my room and headed for the closet. The closet was just around my bed. It felt so great to be home in my own territory. The place I knew and was more comfortable in.
I came to an abrupt stop at the side of the foot of the bed and screamed, dropping the towel. There layed Ms. Granger on the floor blood covered her chest completely. She was dead. I didn't even need to check. I could tell from looking at just how lifeless she was.
There were footsteps thumping hard on the floor, nearing my room. I jumped when I saw a shadow in the doorway. I turned and saw Taliesin come in with Kailie and a few other men. I ran over to Taliesin and hugged him burying my head in his chest, crying, "Taliesin. She's dead. Somebody killed her."
One of the men went over to her and kneeled beside her. He closed his eyes and breathed in deeply. I could see his nostrils flare. He stood and looked up at Taliesin, "It was the Forelander who tried to take Princess Elena the first time. It had to have been when he first failed to get her. Or else his scent would've covered the house everywhere he touched and walked as well."
Taliesin took a blanket from Kailie and wrapped it around me covering me before wrapping his arms around me, "Take the body. Bury it out back."
He took the kiss deeper and my stomach knotted as the place between my legs heated grew wet. I lifted my hands so that I could run my hands through his hair. I gripped his hair and tugged at his hair.
He pulled back from the kiss and grabbed my hair. He yanked my head back and pressed his body to mine. I could feel his hard erection on my tummy and I gasped; my hands tightening in his hair.
