Kamari's Point of View"How about this?" Loral held up a rather scandalous number in front of me.It had lace trims and several straps over where my cleavage should go. Deep red and a small corset for the middle part. But what got me was the part where the panties were added to the piece. By thin ribs of material that would cross my stomach. All and all, it was confusing but dazzling. "That looks brilliant. She can go and try it on.""Was I asking you, Zayan?" Loral snapped.I held up my hand to my mouth, giggling behind it. Only for Zayan to flash me a warning smile. I was on thin ice and he wanted me to know it.What would happen when that ice broke, I didn't know. Although I had a few ideas.Zayan simply shrugged at his friend, his mouth turning down into a small frown. He wasn't used to being excluded, then. "I was only making a suggestion based on my opinion." He said. Suddenly, the floor seemed more interesting than anything else in the room. The former heir wanted me to dres
Kamari's Point of ViewI didn't want the day to end with him. Wanted to bask in his presence just a little while longer. But as Loral rang up the hefty amount of lingerie, I had a sinking feeling our trip had come to an end. We had gotten what we had come for. So many clothes I was unsure if they would all fit into my closet. Zayan barely batted an eye when Loral told him the total.He only handed her his card. Watched as it swiped and approved.I wanted to vomit in response. It was enough to buy groceries for the next four months."Always a pleasure when you come around, Zayan," Loral said whilst handing back his card.Zayan smiled down at her in response and tucked away the plastic thing. "You only say that because when I come in, I drop a lot of fucking money on you. If you truly enjoyed my company, Loral, you wouldn't wait for me to come into the shop. Instead, you would visit me at my house." Loral waved him off with a flick of her wrist. Her smile reached her ears. Guilt for h
Zayan's Point of View Kamari gave me whiplash. One moment we were busy with one topic... The next... I could barely control my breathing. Had to concentrate on the road so hard that I was sure one of the veins in my eyes would burst. Even my knuckles had gone white from gripping the wheel so hard. Maybe it was the vulnerability in her voice or her reasoning. Maybe I was just a glutton for women like her. The kind that needed me to help them. The ones that could barely stand on their own. "Tonight." The word chimed like a bell in my mind. Slowing the car a fraction, I finally dared to look at her. Her beautiful blonde hair flowed over her shoulders. Bright eyes took in everything. The slight part of her lips. If only she knew I was already hard at the prospect of having her. Tasting her. "That seems a bit rushed, don't you think?" It went against my nature to turn someone like her down. But I needed her to enjoy it. Not tremble at the thought of my hands roaming her. She wa
Kamari's Point of ViewThose intense amber eyes kept me pinned in place. Or maybe it was the smirk he was wearing. How he not only dominated the space around him but commanded reactions out of my body as well. Knots had formed in my stomach.And I couldn't get rid of any of them."Leave that to me..." His eyes darkened as he said it. Became almost entirely black. I swallowed. Folded my hands into my lap and refused to look up at him again. "First thing we have to take a look at is..." His hand snaked my way. Fingers pinched my chin and forced it upward. Our eyes locked. "Eye contact." He mused. Butterflies plummeted from my throat to my ribs. Warmed the bottom part of my lungs. Which somehow made it even more difficult to breathe than before. I wanted to reach out and touch him as well. Explore him.But I had no idea where to even start, let alone what to do afterward. Touching wouldn't be enough for someone like him. He needed more. Would need me fully submissive and spread open for
Kamari's Point of ViewHis rejection stung more than I cared to admit. Slapped me across the face more brutally than I had thought it would. And right now, I didn't even want to look at him, much less be in his presence. The light outside was fading fast. Fog had covered the rest of the mountain top. But I wanted to leave. Now. Shifting would be my best option. At night, I was my stealthiest. Only a black shadow danced through the trees. Nothing too out of the ordinary."I'll ask Nolan to come and fetch the parcels tomorrow. I think I need to head home." I murmured.Zayan was still sitting in the same position as I had left him in. Although, now he was staring out the window with a frown on his face. His eyes were vacant. But the moment those words left my mouth, his head whipped my way."I thought you will be staying the night." He said.Nodding, I corrected my shirt. Nervously wiped my hands on my jeans. Couldn't look at him fully. Because he might see that he had hurt me when in t
Kamari's Point of ViewI could hear them clearly through the floor. As if they were in my room. Screaming and crying. A childhood memory I never had.My parents had always been great. Before my fall. Before I took my father away. Or rather, he took me away. Sometimes I only blamed myself for their splitting, even when they adored the other.Although, my mom never knew who my father really was. That the Alpha she had gotten for her pack was also a black wolf. Years of careful planning and discretion lead to her still not knowing the color of his wolf. How she hated me but her mate was the very same thing. Burrowing my face deeper into the pillow, I tried to calm my heart. A sob sat fat on my tongue. But if I could hear them, they could hear me. Anxiety coiled like an angered snake in my stomach. Hissed whenever I heard my mother's voice above my father's.They were screaming about me. Always about me."You are pushing too hard, Rachel! You need to give her more time! Just showing up a
Zayan's Point of ViewSomehow between me not wanting to fuck up but still wanting to fuck her and setting some boundaries, I fucked up anyway. Kamari's face had contorted into shame. Guilt.I could have slapped myself when her eyes dimmed.Her smile faltered.But I had wanted to set boundaries with her from the beginning. Maybe bringing her to my mother's old cottage was a bad idea to start with. Although I needed to get her somewhere that wasn't her home. That was still with me. We should have spent the night together here. I should have been gentle but firm. Instead, I acted like a fucking turtle and climbed into my shell.Should I have run after her when she left? Yes, I should have. Was I too stunned to even move a finger? Yes, I fucking was. In all my time on this earth, I had never seen a woman more poised to run away from me than I had Kamari. Even Eris had taken her time to leave. But the girl had been a cracker shot from its pipe. Eager to move her limbs and run into a bustl
Kamari's Point of View We were busy in the garden. Plucking out weeds and freshening up some roses. My dad wanted to start planting some vegetables in the back corner. Neither of us mentioned the time my mother finally left. I had gone up to my room and slammed the door shut. The two of them resigned themselves to whispering. Sometimes I could still hear my mother's entitled voice plead with him to make me reconsider. Sometimes I could hear my father getting annoyed with the woman. But as of right now, neither of us dared to speak about her. "We can plant various tomatoes and chillis. Throw in some green beans. They all have their set needs, so we will have to start a greenhouse. But we can start small and work our way up." He explained and chucked the last few weeds into a black bag. Weeds weren't meant to go in the compost pile. If they had seeds on them, they would wreak havoc on the heap we had already started working on. So, we threw them away. There were times I wondered i
