Crossing Lines

Her smile was perfect. Alexander smiled back lightly, wrapping his heavy arms around her small frame. His mind raced, trying to keep up with his heart. "I missed you," he murmured, taking a deep breath and squeezing her before letting her go. If she was just playing with him, it was awfully convincing. He thought that maybe - maybe she really felt strongly about him, maybe he wasn't just another game for her to play.

"I really like you," he mumbled, looking into her eyes and kissing her nose gently. He grinned and laid an arm around her shoulders as they turned and walked into her house. "Where are the kids?" He asked politely, noticing that they weren't running around as usual.

Mary kept her face buried in his chest, taking in the deep scent of his cologne and body heat as long as she could. Her hands absentmindedly running up and down his back, careful due to the scratches all along it from the previous night. When Mary looked up at Alexander he face brightened and she just smiled at him.

"I like you more." She teased, returning the kiss to the nose. Mary leaned into his touch and looked up at the question. "Their play dates were today. So they're all at their friends houses. Mom and dad insist they have them. Even the baby." She said and rolled her eyes. "House to ourselves." She murmured and led him to the living room, sitting on the couch to cuddle with Alexander.

Alexander relaxed into the couch and held her against his chest. He pushed his fingers into her hair and ran his hand through it carefully. He tried to convince himself that this was no big deal, to have her lay with him like this. It was probably healthy for him to not fully commit for once, right? He wondered if he was the only one. He wanted to be. She seemed like she really felt for him - but he was never good at being able to tell that sort of thing. He told himself to stop thinking about it all so hard.

But he couldn't. He took a deep breath. "Mary," he murmured. "What am I to you?" Alexander asked, rubbing her side gently. He was fairly certain that she would tell him honestly if he didn't mean anything to her. It didn't matter how she responded. He knew he wouldn't be able to stay away from her, but he could finally have an answer to most of his questions. He wanted her for himself.

Mary was laying against Alexander's side, her head on his shoulder, and one arm wrapped around his middle. She enjoyed being close with someone. Mary leaned into him a bit more, grabbing the remote and turning the television on. When it turned on the default was Seasame Street, which made Mary laugh and change it to another channel.

When Alexander asked her that she looked up at him with innocent eyes and kissed Alexander passionately. "You're mine." She whispered against his lips. Mary, to herself, couldn't admit to emotions. How could she ever admit them to someone else. It scared her to have them.

How could she ever admit them to someone else. It scared her to have them. She wasn't used to having feelings for someone, she couldn't begin to describe what they were. But she knew what she wanted, and that was him.

I'm so sorry I've been gone for so long. I've had school, family, work and field hockey and it took over my life. I hope you can forgive me for my disappearance.

@ Tessellation
Hey so if you ever come back I would love to do this roleplay still. Continue on with it. It was one of my favorites

Alexander's mouth curled into a smile. He growled softly - in a content sort of way - and tightened his arms around her. "Are you all mine?"

He felt wrong for wanting her as badly as he did. He was supposed to be helping her with her homework.

Mary almost giggled at his small growl, it was interesting to hear it. It reminded her of how an alpha wolf protects his pack from all other males. She just smiled up at Alexander, not really answering the question, despite the urge to just say yes and kiss his full lips again. Mary buried her face in his chest, inhaling deeply and then laid against his chest as her attention turned back to the television.

Mary didn't want to upset Alexander, not speaking wasn't lying or telling the truth. She was all his, for right now. She really liked Alexander, but rebellion was built inside her. She still wanted to go out and party and drink, but with him Mary was sure that wouldn't be allowed to happen. She would end up wanting to rebel against him too, he wouldn't like that. She wasn't sure what to do. Mary was content with how her life was going now, but she enjoyed Alexander, and she enjoyed the benefits of him as well. Mary glanced up at him. Kissing Alexander beneath his jaw.

Alex felt his jaw tighten when she was silent. His eyes poured into hers after she kissed his skin lightly. Apparently she wasn't going to respond to his inquiry. It was plain to him that she didn't care about him enough to commit, and that sent angry tingles through his arms - but he didn't display this. If she wanted to go around playing with other people that was fine. But Alexander was not going to waste his time. Fine.

"I see," he muttered snidely. He looked up at the ceiling, pulling his body away from hers slightly. What did you expect?

The best thing now would probably be to withdraw from her life.

Mary frowned at his body language and how quickly it changed. She knew she'd just upset him. "Hey." She said with a frown, sitting up and looking at Alexander. "Stop." She said and furrowed her brow. She placed a hand on his shoulder, and sighed softly. Her eyes were soft and pained when she looked into his eyes again. "Yes." She said quietly, so quiet it was almost inaudible. "I'm yours." As soon as she said it Mary went back to cuddling Alex.

Mary didn't cuddle as close when she moved back to him after speaking. Worried not only would he be mad still. But commitment was scary to her. She did not want to commit to even this with him now. Mary focused her attention on the television, deciding that she would let him make the moves if he desired them.

Alexander soaked in her words, trying to decipher their truthfulness. She's just saying that. Believing that he was unimportant relative to her wild lifestyle, Alex feigned acceptance of her quiet words. "Okay," he murmured back. Playing games just didn't suit him. If he couldn't have her completely to himself - he didn't want her.

She had distanced herself from him. In this moment, Alex had lost some of his mindless lust for her - he analyzed her actions the way he did when they had first met. Perhaps she's angry with me, for being angry with her? He shifted and slid his arm around her stomach, pulling her tight against him. Or rather, angry that I...want her to be only for me... Alex lifted himself from the couch in order to press his mouth to her neck. He nipped her skin gently. "I don't think I could share you."

His mind roamed, thinking of her parents.

Mary sinked into his touch, cuddling up with Alexander she calmed down quickly. Mary didn't say much to him however. She was enjoying the quiet, and just being here with him. The news channel showed of a drug bust of a local senior. Mary was a bit shocked, she knew that Evan had drugs, she'd been at his party a few nights ago even had done Coke with him. It stated he had had s party a few nights back and someone called it in, they only has then gotten around to searching and found the drugs.

Mary shivered as his lips neared her skin. "Who said you had to share?" She murmured and grinned up at Alexander. However her mind went back to the news story and she looked back over at the television, sitting up.
