“You know you don't have to lie if you don't have to.” I folded my arms as I rose from the bed. “If you need a quick fuck, Claudia will be willing to give you that.”And there I go with mentioning her because I was fucking jealous. I know I shouldn't feel this way since I said I had nothing to do with him anymore. However, it was nearly impossible. I might never speak to him until he leaves, but that doesn't exclude the fact that he was my mate. He glanced up, looking shocked by the words I uttered. “Why will you think that way, Chrys? Do you assume I would kneel in front of a woman just because I wanted sex?” He narrowed his eyes at me. “Can't you understand I love you?!” He was almost yelling now. His face contorted into a dark frown as his eyes changed. It seemed his eyes were on fire. There were dancing flames in them. His fangs elongated. Yet, he knelt there without rising. “I know I have given you no reason to trust me, Chrys. I had been nothing but a nuisance from the day we
It was a battle for dominance, which I allowed him to win. I wrapped my hands around his neck and brought him closer, kissing him like my life depended on it. I've missed him so freaking much. It could be because of the mate bond. But at that moment, I just wanted him to fuck me. He broke up from the kiss and rose from his kneeling position. His eyes locked on mine in place, burning with a familiar intensity. I gulped. My pussy pooled with arousal, and I knew he could tell because of how his nose flared. He gently pushed me down on the bed and knelt on it, towering over me. His tongue snaked out to lick the tip of his fangs. The action shot right into my pussy. I whimpered, rubbing my thighs together to ease the discomfort. “I've missed you so fucking much, Chrys,” he growled, looking down at me as if he wanted to devour me with his eyes. “You don't know how much it hurt me when you ignored me.” I raised my hands and cupped his face, stroking my thumbs on his cheeks. I smiled when
“Punishment? I love the sound of that.” I smirked, teasing him by biting my lower lip. A rumble tore from his throat as he flipped me, making me lie on my stomach. “Kneel," he commanded. The order came out raspy. He sounded like he barely had control over his words. I did as he asked. I knelt on the bed and spread my thighs, knowing he could see my arousal. I heard a grunt from him, animalistic and predatory. I howled in reply, placing my hands forward with my back pressed down and my arse raised.“Do you know what comes to mind with you in this position?” His fingers ghosted on the back of my thighs, not touching but teasing. “What? The need to screw me so hard I won't be able to walk for weeks?” I provided.“No, far from it, my love. It's the hunger to mar your skin until it's ruined. The urge to smack your arse until it turns red, leaving the imprints of my palm.”I shivered. “Fuck me already, Jayden. Stop teasing me!” I was almost going mad. I just want his fingers deep in my
CHRYSWe once more returned to how we were. Two weeks went by in a blur. Aside from the time he leaves to work or get a lead on his 'mission,' Jayden spends most of his time with me. Claudia has been acting like a bitch towards me. I could tell she had a grudge against me because of how she acted with me. She doesn't chat with me while we make dishes and she hardly spends time in the sorting room with me. Gordon was still acting odd. I couldn't explain why, but I felt like there was something huge going on with him. Jayden too seemed to have a secret he wasn't willing to share. I know we all had a secret, but I felt like mine was mild compared to theirs. Especially Claudia. Most of the time I see her staring at her phone. At other times, it would be at the small path that led out of the property — lost in thoughts. “Good morning,” Jayden greeted with a smile as he strode into the room, dressed for work. Most times, he sleeps in my room, but at other times, specifically when Gordo
JAYDENI rushed through my task, so I could return earlier than I told Chrys. It was crazy how attached I had become to her after a few weeks of being together. I just don't want to be separated from her. At least not for over 7 hours. If only we could spend all our days together, but I know it was difficult. We weren't attached at the hip. The others watched me as I worked. None sought to help me, not that I would have let them do that. It scared them to approach me, and that was because of how cold. I wanted nothing to do with humans. Especially those I was working with. They just get on my damned nerves. I got everything done before 5 O'clock. I was ready to go, ready to surprise Chrys by returning earlier than I had estimated. My phone rang the moment I entered my car. I had just dropped my bag and inserted the key in the ignition, only for my thoughts to be disrupted by the ringing of my phone. I immediately answered it when I saw the caller's ID. Chrys hardly calls me whenev
I gaped at her, shocked to even say a word. Out of all the things I expected her to speak, it wasn't this. I thought Chrys and I were discreet about it. Who would have guessed that she knew about it?“Why? Are you stunned?” She chuckled dryly. She knelt in front of me and placed both hands on my thighs. “Don't worry, I won't tell Gordon about it. All I want is for you to fuck me. Is that too much to ask? You are fucking your stepmom, so I don't see any problem with that.”“She's fucking different from you!” I slapped her hands off my thighs, narrowing my eyes to slits. “Don't you ever touch me!”She smiled, nibbling on her lower lip. “Why? Do you think anyone will consider it cheating when you kiss me? Isn't that like… Aren't you acting so self-righteous? Open your damned eyes, Jayden! Chrys is cheating on you with Gordon!”“No, she's not.” I dropped the bottle of beer on the table. “There's no way she could ever do that.”Had this been before, I would have thought she was telling the
Standing outside the broken door was the last person I expected to find. At least not with my regard for him. Gordon stood there with his eyes narrowed to slits. “I knew there was something wrong with you from the first time you approached me,” he said as he took some steps towards us, his eyes focused solely on Claudia.“Oh? What a pity.” She straightened, facing him. “Why then did you employ me?” She folded her arms, looking so at ease despite the darkness swirling in Gordon's eyes. Though he was still in his human form, his fangs, and claws hidden, I could feel the ferocity of his presence.“You can say I wanted to check you out.”“Did I disappoint?” She asked in a mocking tone, her arms still folded, looking like one with no care in the entire world. “No, you didn't.”“Well, let's get this show on the road!” She knelt and brought out another dagger identical to the one was using on me. I thought the fight would end quickly the moment Gordon raced towards her, but I was wrong.
CHRYS'Wake up! Chrys!' Chels' insistent voice seemed to drag me out of the void I found myself in. My head hurts. Opening my eyes showed me to be a work on its own. I couldn't even force them open. I tried to raise my hands, but it felt heavy. I had never felt as tired as I was at the moment. It seemed like someone placed something heavy on my body, weighing me down despite how much I wanted to rise. 'Chrys!' Chels snapped. Almost immediately, I felt a foreign power. For the first time since I met Chels, she willingly shared her powers with me without snapping. It was surreal, an unexpected thing. 'Stop acting like it's a big deal. I just need you awake! We haven't taught that stupid Gordon a lesson for drugging us!' Her words made me recall what happened before I lost consciousness. I was taking a walk with Gordon, laughing at his silly antics, not knowing that he had a plan for me. It wasn't until we reached an ancient castle I hadn't seen before did he hit me, rendering me un
