The drive took less than five minutes. He had pulled off the side off the road beside the bright orange cones that marked where the guard rail had been. The ground at the edge was heavy tracked up and the road had a set of blackened tire marks on it were the other car had crossed lanes.
“Why are we here.” she asked as he held her door open for her.
“Come on.” he said as he helped her down over the embankment.
The hole where the car had gone through the ice was already crusted over with an icy film. Her eyes turned to stare at a spot to the far right on the snow covered ground, she walked over and stared down at the spot, she could sense the thinness of the Veil to the death realms. Someone had died there.
“Tell me what happened here.” he asked close behind her. He was fishing for information; she would give him what she could.
Turning her face to look at him she knew he was trying to figure something out.
“This is where someone died ...Mr. Ferro I suspect?”She stated with a questioning look.
“He died up there on the side of the road in his car.” he stood directly behind her now.
“How did you know someone died here.” he asked, his breath on her neck so inviting, so hot, moist, it felt right to be close to him to have him as her mate to command her, love her, and protect her.
“Look Adam ...I’m not allowed.” she started and gritted her teeth. She was not about to be made to heel again.
“What do you mean not allowed ...tell me ... who DIED HERE!” he had spun her around his eyes completely yellow, wild, and demanding.
“I don’t know!” she said “I just know someone died ... two people ...”
“How do you know that!” his grip on her arms was strong. His fangs beginning to show and she felt the hairs on her neck prickle as he pushed his demand with a subtle threat.
“I saw two reapers ...they only come to claim the dead ...” she felt the invisible collar tighten around her neck choking her. She had broken an order now she would suffer the consequences. MJ wasn’t sure if it would happen given recent events, but now it did, because she was forbidden to tell anyone about herself or her abilities. This should have happened the moment she allowed Adam to become intimate with her in the hospital but it hadn’t and she had needed to find out why.
Gasping for air she broke free of his grip clasping at her throat and collapsed to her knees, this was just a warning. If she continued telling him anymore the punishment would get worse. The feeling subsided and she was taking several large gasps of air into her lungs as she felt strong arms cradling her up into a solid chest.
“MJ!” Adam said with great concern
“I’m fine.” she lied
“What happened?” he asked
Knowing what would happen if she told him she silenced his question with a kiss, testing to see if the collar would tighten. It didn’t and he pulled her closer to him, his tongue parting her lips to explore.
