Controlling myself around her

Eric's POV 

I inhaled in relief as I felt the coldness of her hand on mine, it felt so good and comfortable that I wish not to take off my hand from hers. 

''You don't add milk to your coffee''.she murmured when she noticed a black coffee was placed in front of me. 

''I do take but not always.'' I flashed her a weak smile before taking a sip of my coffee. 

I glared at her and noticed her sip her coffee slowly and nervously while looking around. 

''Is something wrong.'' I asked, 

She thought for a while before she shook her head 

''It felt like I have been here before.'' she murmured to herself and looked around 

''Maybe you've been here before but don't stress yourself over it.'' I gently squeezed her hand in mine before flashing her a half smile. 

We drank in silence until we were through, I paid the bills, and we left the shop. 

We walked sideways with our hands interlocked with each other, I took a glimpse of her and noticed she was relaxed but in deep thoughts. 

I decided it was best to let her be and kept on walking with her when suddenly a vehicle in high-speed came our way, and before I knew it, it was coming at Victoria's direction, but I pushed her behind and held the front Burnet of the car and pushed it away, making it to hit a signpost. 

I turned around and met the wild and shocked eyes of Victoria staring at me before staring at the car. 

''Are you okay.'' I asked while moving a bit closer to her, but she took a step backwards. 

I noticed people shocked gaze were on me, I mean who would stop a moving vehicle and pushed it to another direction. 

I heard murmuring around me but I careless, all I wanted was Victoria to look me in the eyes with no fear in her. 

''Please stay back.''she pleaded and walked away as fast as she could, but I walked after her. 

We got to the hospital, she rushed into her room and sat on the bed while breathing heavily. 

''Hey calm down.'' I tried assuring her from a far distance. 

She closed her eyes for a moment and opened them before staring at me with curiosity. 

''How were you able to stopped a moving car and pushed it away.'', she asked with her piercing eyes on me. 

''I did trainings.'', I replied quickly, hoping it would work because she wasn't ready to know the truth right now. 

''Training?'' she asked confused 

''Yeah.'' I nodded my head and took a seat opposite her while thinking of what to say. 

''I have a karate and martial art teacher when I was younger, I learned this from him.'' I lied comfortably. 

She thought for a while before she slowly nodded her head and looked up to me. 

''Your teacher must have being an extraordinary person to teach you such skills.'' hearing those words from her, I released a silent breath and relaxed on the couch. 

''Thanks.'' she whispered 

''Thanks for saving my life.'' she flashed me a warm big smile that made my heart flutter with joy. 

''Mine.'' my wolf whispered to me, 

I closed my eyes and controlled my wolf before opening them. 

We met eyes with each other and I saw her lick her lips nervously before she nervously tucked her hair behind her ears thereby reveling my mark. 

Seeing my mark on her, I groaned silently and silently looked away, seeing my mark in her triggers all the organs in me and I knew it would be hard for me to control myself because I haven't being with a woman for the past two years. 

''Are you okay.'' she asked with worried and curious eyes on me when she noticed I was uncomfortable on the chair and sweating profusely. 

''Yeah, I think it's from the coffee I took.'', I replied while trying to stay calm, but my gaze kept going for my mark in her neck. 

I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath before opening them but only to realize that her hair were poured and back to her shoulders. 

She roughly scattered her hair and ran her fingers through her hair tiredly. 

''Thank goodness.'' I murmured to myself and took in a deep breath 

I wondered what I would have done if she didn't pour her hair on her shoulders that very minutes. 

''Are you sure you are okay ?'' she asked again, this time in disbelief. 

''I'm fine, don't worry about me.'' I flashed her a big smile before controlling my breath 

She stared at me for a while before she nods her hair and lay on the bed and murmured in pains while touching her bandaged head 

'' Are you alright.'' I asked while leaving the chair 

''Yeah, just a little pain that comes once in a while.''she flashed me an assuring smile before looking away. 

I released a soft sigh and ran my fingers through my hair as I wondered the kind of pains she might be going through.

We stayed there in silence and none of us said a word until I noticed her piercing eyes on me, which triggers everything in me.

''Is there a problem.'' I asked

''Yeah.'' she nods her head and slowly sat on the bed.

''I was wondering who you are because everything about you speaks power and authority.''she muttered those words while staring at me.

''You don't only look rich, but you have authority and influence, so how did our path cross because, you are way too above my league.'' she said those words full of curiosity while staring at me.

I ran my fingers through my hair and thought of what to say to her until a thought came to my head, 

''I'm not above my league, don't ever said that again.''

She nodded her head but didn't say a word

''We met in a club where you work as a bartender.''

''bartender?'' she murmured to herself in disbelief and thought for a while before she spoke up

''Was it back then in California.'' 

''Yes.''

She nodded her head and thought for a while before she spoke up 

''Then why then did I ran away from you and came to Australia.'' she asked with her piercing eyes on me.
