The Claiming and First Choice

Whitney and Iphisnixii/Hope connected eyes at the same time and the result was mind blowing.

Whitney's POV: He could of sworn he saw a flicker in Iphisnixii/Hope eyes. When he looked in those eyes he felt a feeling he hasn't felt in years, hunger. He started running through letdown scenarios in his head: he could see him asking her to come back to his place after dinner for more drinks and Iphisnixii/Hope laughing at him. He could also see her letting him down with pity in her eyes. He was truly afraid but couldn't place what the deeper meaning in what this fear was. He could feel himself start to sweat and the beginning of a panic attack come on. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his pills. Taking his other hand away from Iphisnixii/Hope, he asked her for a few minutes to recenter himself stating it was apart of his spirituality and helped him with is issues. Iphisnixii/Hope said it wasn't a problem and she withdrew her hand while she watched him carefully. Whitney took his orange soda and drank abit of it with his medicine then closed his eyes. He began to chant in his head and focused his entire being to push away the paranoia, the heartache, the anxiety, he just wanted a break and relief from it all.

Iphisnixii/Hope: As she saw this man who was on the very brink of losing it she began to wonder. *What happened to make him so broken* and *Why am I so drawn to him.* As she was watching him she stretched out her mind to touch his. She could see his insecurities about himself and her floating in his head. She was mystified as how such a man could be this broken and insecure. Looking at him she could see any woman would have to be out of their mind not to be attracted to him physically at least. Understanding what type of person he is and how his mind operated Iphisnixii/Hope couldn't help but fall further into him as she saw everything that a normal woman would see. The strong but kind face, the shoulders that would support the weight of the world for you or be a pillow for when you need one to cry on, The strong arms that would hold you and never let you go or protect you with everything in his being. As Iphisnixii/Hope moves down his body she begins to blush fiercely at some indecent ideas running through her brain. Those tank pants that house an impressive cock. A cock that would fuck you merciless in any hole you would like. One that she could lick and kiss tenderly, treat with reverence, taste like it was the greatest taste in the known universe. Iphisnixii/Hope began thinking of these things and could feel her body responding: Her pussy dripping with anticipation, nipples getting hard against the fabric of her top, heart beating faster and faster, mouth getting dry with anticipation of what will happen. *And by Mother's grace this WILL happen*

Iphisnixii-Hope/Whitney Joint POV:

Each recovering from their perspective reactions they lock eyes again. Whitney is the first to speak after a long lul in conversation.

Whitney: "Hey I know this crazy we literally just met but, I've got to get home and feed my dogs. Would you like to join me for more drinks at my place? he asks with hope in his voice, not so much that he wants to score (he does don't get me wrong) but he feels that he won't strike out.

Iphisnixii/Hope: "Um(her heart is going 1000 miles a minute), I guess. I do feel safe around you. I don't see why not, won't be for long though." she says, totally lying and knowing she is never going to leave his side once she has a taste of him. "You aren't a psycho crazy killer or anything like that?" She asks with a cute smile

Whitney: "Naw, I'm pretty tame once you get to know me. I am a little crazy though, normal people scare me lol." He says flirting back. *Wow, I have been here before but this feels different* he thinks. Putting his book back in his inner pocket and grabbing the bill he asks "are you ready" as he instinctively holds out his hand to help her up.

Iphisnixii/Hope: Laughing at his last remark she shifts her weight and freezes once she sees his hand dart close to her. *Mother please guide me to what this means. I am lost and feeling so many new emotions. I haven't had a chance to even do research on them yet.* she prays to herself. *CHILD THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE EXPERIENCED AND NOT READ ABOUT, ENJOY IT AND ENJOY THE LIVING WORLD* Mother replies sweetly and knowing what will happen the evening and into the morning Mother retreats into Iphisnixii's subconscious ever watchful but unresponsive so her daughter could enjoy the human passion without interruption.

As the "couple" rise from the booth and walk to the register Whitney is the first to notice a few things. He notices that Iphisnixii/Hope is a little to close to him and it doesn't bother him in the slightest. This is a guy who has a shirt that states "if you come within 3 feet of me you will be throat-punched" To say that Whitney values his personal space bubble is a understatement. He notices how she is looking at him, he can't place what he sees in her eyes though. She is playing with his hair which is a big no-no in his book. Do you realize how many people on a given day ask to play with his hair? People act like locks are just some mystical thing. Its only fucking hair lol. *Its downright adorable what she is doing* Whitney thinks(and Iphisnixii/Hope can hear his thoughts). As she notices him looking at her smiling, she nonchalantly puts a lock in her mouth to taste it while staring into his deep brown eyes. *If I could I would mount you right here* Iphisnixii/Hope thinks to herself as she strokes Whitney's hand. Whitney on the other hand is having a hard time paying the bill because of the feeling he is getting as Iphisnixii/Hope stokes his hand. His pants are tightening and he is having a hard time talking because every time her nail and fingertip brush his skin he feels a chill run down his body and electrical spark runs down his spine. As the Manager runs his card he looks at Iphisnixii/Hope and sees his reflection in her eyes. With the way she is looking at him and fingers are dancing along his skin he can't take anymore. He bends down to kiss her lips, full and delicious looking. Iphisnixii/Hope's heart is pounding as she sees this man starting to bend to kiss her and she stands on her toes to meet his lips. The minute they connect Whitney's mind goes blank and his legs start to turn to jelly. He hasn't had many kisses in his life but this one was light years past what he expected the best kiss to be. When their lips connected for the briefest moment he couldn't see anything. The kiss shot electricity through his entire body. Iphisnixii/Hope felt the same thing and she reached into his nest of locks to lovelgly run her hands through them. If Whitney was able to think, he would have remembered this from his dream but he couldn't the extra stimulation from the kiss was just too much. He forcefully pushed his tongue into her mouth to meet hers where they sensually mixed and played off of each other's movements. Whitney pulled away from the mind shattering kiss before he came in his pants. He looked into Iphisnixii/Hope eyes and knew he had to have her, he felt something stirring inside of him he had never felt before. Iphisnixii/Hope could feel it too, she felt the pure power surge from him and was fascinated that he was able to hold it back. As they locked eyes again they both knew that only one thing was going to happen and it was going to be amazing.

The walk to his apartment was the most fun he has had with a woman in his entire life. She was like a mirror to him, she liked majority of what he liked, hated all of what he hated and was a gun nut. As far as he was concerned, Whitney was in love with this woman. Little did Iphisnixii/Hope know she was falling harder for him. While they were walking together and Whitney was talking about his likes/dislikes she was subconsciously researching all of them and would truly see herself in those situations and could agree with damn near everything he was saying. They didn't know this but this was the beginning of something unimaginable.

Iphisnixii/Hope and Whitney arrive at his apartment complex and Whitney immediately gets defensive as they move towards the elevator. Iphisnixii/Hope is confused, "Are you ok" she asks. "No I'm not, I hate this building. There are gangs and **** addicts here. When my sister Treana was here last I almost killed someone because they put hands on her." Whitney said as he got angrier and angrier. "I am waiting for a apartment on campus to open up so I can leave this dump. " Whitney says as he turns to look at Iphisnixii/Hope, "Here are my keys, I am on the top floor last apartment on the floor. When you get out and if i tell you to run, you haul ass. Don't look back, Don't talk back, do you understand?" Iphisnixii/Hope is still holding onto Whitney's hand and she can see all the events that is making him scared/ "I understand and I trust you" Iphisnixii/Hope says hopeful to Whitney. "When we get in this elevator stay behind me" Whitney says as the elevator dings to the ground level"

They enter the elevator and Iphisnixii/Hope immediately gets behind Whitney wrapping her hands around his waist. He can feel her nipples dig into his back, but he can't worry about that. This place is a battlefield and he has someone to protect. Normally he doesn't have a problem with people getting in the elevator with him, its big enough where he can pin himself in the corner so noone can get behind him and everyone knows he is packing so noone gives him shit. This time is different, he is drawn, compelled, burning to protect this women he doesn't even know with his life. The elevator goes up each floor one excruciating floor at a time 1....2.....3.....it stops and the door opens where 2 gang members he has never seen comes in. Whitney maneuvers Iphisnixii/Hope into the opposite corner and puts his hand on his SIG. One of the gangbangers looks at him then peeks around his massive frame to see a small lady huddled behind him. "Hey baby how you doing? Why don't you...." the gang banger begins. "Don't even fucking think about it" Whitney looks him in they eye. "Oh don't be like that dawg" the other banger says as they move closer to them thinking by Whitney's stature he won't do anything. Whitney pull his baby, the SIG and rack its slide, loading one in the chamber while looking at them, "Trust me you don't want this. Look into my eyes when I say this. I will kill you and will not lose sleep over it. I won't serve a stitch of jail time either" he says in a cool and calm voice. the banger look afraid but they don't break. Whitney says "I know what floor you live on and what your family looks like. If you push me I will kill them one by one while you watch to protect this woman. " The bangers look at you and are literally shaking. "OK man, I am sorry. we are getting off on the next floor anyways." after they get off you get off the elevator on its final floor and you tell her to run to the apartment. As Iphisnixii/Hope hauls ass you are calmly watching the staircase and walking to the apartment. She waits at the door and opens it as you get closer. You watch the hallway from your monitor as you arm your security system. *I fucking hate this place and can't wait to move* you think.

Whitney sits in his favorite chair to calm his nerve after clearing his weapon and putting a loaded SCAR by the front door. "Its my usual evening ritual, there has been a recent string of break-ins and I will not be caught unprepared." you tell Iphisnixii/Hope. As you walk the house and give her the tour you show her where the emergency weapons are stored just in case you can't react, which won't happen. She says nothing and holds your hand as you both go back towards the kitchen for a glass of wine. As you sit in your favorite chair and hold your head in your hands to clear your nerves, you feel a hand take your glass and uncover your face. When you look up you see Iphisnixii/Hope as she straddles your form and holds your face in your hands. "You will never be in pain again, I promise. No more nightmares, no more hurt, I am finally here and I am not going anywhere." You look into her eyes and fear starts to creep up in your soul. "I'm sorry I don...." you begin to say as she shushes you with a small and tender kiss. "You are mine and I will not let anything happen to you. You deserve happiness and joy, I will be the sun in your life from now on. Don't be afraid my love" Iphisnixii/Hope says as she stares deeply into your eyes almost if she is touching your soul. Whitney is getting overwhelmed and Iphisnixii/Hope can feel/sense it. She pulls his head into her breast and says to him "Let it out, you have been broken and abandoned. Let it out, I am finally here and you belong to me. " The floodgates open for the first time in years, and you cry. Because you are too much of a man you don't cry, Because as a Army Veteran and being prideful, you don't cry. Because of how much you have been hurt in your life by the opposite sex, you have lost the ability to cry a long time ago. But for some reason with this strange woman sitting in your lap, holding you like you are the singular most important person in the universe you begin to cry. You cry because: you hate your life, you hate your mind-the mind that never rests and is always searching/scanning, you hate how inept and inconsequential you are. You cry the hardest you could ever cry while this woman is soothing you, running her hands through your hair. Eventually you run out of tears and become the familiar level of numbness you are use to. You excuse yourself from Iphisnixii/Hope and go to the bathroom. You look at yourself in the mirror and hate what you see. You see all the people you have threatened over the years and the lives you have taken. There is a Glock-17 under the bathroom sink you stored there from when some meth-heads broke into your place when you were on the pot. Forgetting that Iphisnixii/Hope was in your house you pick it up and put it to your head as you say goodbye, you begin to pull the trigger when a hand slides along yours igniting feeling in your body and you here Iphisnixii/Hope say "I told you, you will never feel this way again baby. Come back to me, let me love you" You drop to your knees and look at her above you saying "I can't take this pain anymore" Iphisnixii/Hope simply smiles and kisses you on the forehead. "I will be your strength until you are strong, I will protect your heart for you are mine and I am yours." As she pulls you upright she wraps her arms around your neck and looks into your eyes. "You belong to me now" You attempt to look away when she pulls your face back towards hers "you belong to me now." Iphisnixii/Hope says again forceful but lovingly as she kisses you. You feel heat unlike you have ever felt before as your lips lock and she wipes the tears away from your face. As your tongues intertwine and battle for dominance and you black out from the shear mind blowing pleasure you are feeling. Your entire body is on fire and Iphisnixii/Hope breaks the kiss saying "This is only the beginning, I will repair and nourish your body and spirit. I have wanted you from the moment I smelled you and I have you now. You belong to me" You stare into her eyes as they changing from brown to lilac as you slip into **** and feverish sleep.

The last thing you hear from Iphisnixii/Hope is:

"I told you I would see you soon, All is well and all will be well for"

" You belong to me"
