“Lu,” Katarina called out to him.
“If I stay, I’m just going to keep hovering, I need to leave,” he said, before he left the room.
Katarina stared at the door shaking her head, looking lost.
“What do you need?” Zev asked her.
“I don’t know, but I’m just tired of lying here when I know I could be researching or trying to figure out what went wrong with the spell.” She took a deep breath. “I need to stop obsessing over what went wrong and...”
She looked away from us, her shoulder shook.
“I feel guilty,” she whispered.
Zev walked towards her with fury written all over his face.
“Look at me,” he snarled.
She didn’t look at him until he grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him.
“I said look at me.”
Defiance shined in her eyes before she pulled away baring her teeth at him.
“Look, I don't need your alpha bullshit.” She turned around.
Zev grabbed her by the hair, turning her around to face him, when she swung at him. He barely pulled back, but she was still able to hit his mouth. She threw another punch quickly when he caught it. They fought for dominance, one throwing hits while the other blocked until they fell on to the ground. Her strength and her quickness always surprised me.
Katarina’s fury was intoxicating, no one had ever given Zev such a hard time, and now I knew why he liked her so much. She wasn’t some weak woman, no, she rivaled his strength and kept him on his toes.
It took Zev a minute, but he had her pinned on her back with both arms up.
“Why do you feel guilty?” he growled.
“Get the fuck off of me, you fucking brute.” She thrashed trying to buck him off.
“Answer me!” he roared.
“Fuck you!” She yelled back.
“Answer the damn question!”
Her lips quivered, “Because I failed! I thought I could do it, but no surprise, I failed.”
“So, get back up and try again,” he said, matter of factly, but I knew she was listening to that part of her brain her family had groomed to doubt herself.
“For someone who is so sure of herself when she goes head-to-head with me, you are looking more and more like a coward right now.” He leaned down to her. “You failed and that’s ok. I expect you to get back up and try again and if you fail again, you try again.”
Katarina continued to glare at him, but I could see his words getting to her.
“Don’t be a big baby because if you want to act like one, we can take care of that right now.”
He flipped her body around pulling her shorts down until her pert ass was exposed. He slapped it hard.
“You motherfucker.” She tried lifting herself.
Smack.
The sound of it echoed in the room and as much as I didn’t think I would like to see them go toe to toe, it was making me really hard.
