Lucy“No. No. No.” I let out a bitter chuckle that sounded harsh to my ears. “You will not lie your way out of this one. You’ve already made me look stupid enough.”I climbed off him and went to my closet to grab something to wear. Now I felt like a cheap slut. Fuck! How could I not have known? They had literally kissed their way past me. My mate and my Alpha’s wife? This was disaster! I hated myself for letting him almost have sex with me. It was all my fault. If only I had not allowed… If felt him behind me and the fact that his nearness was affecting me on so many levels angered me greatly.“Get the hell away from me!” I moved my body away from his touch. Who knew where those hands had been and touched on Tasha's skin? And now they had touched me. “Stop acting childish, Lucy. What is wrong with you?”Fueled by this anger, I whirled in a blind rage and slapped him hard across his face.“You’re a fucking bastard! You fucked another man’s wife right where your mate was occupied.”H
Lucy“Yes, I have…had a mate.” He released a sigh and let go of my top. He turned away to go seat on the bed, his shoulders were suddenly drooped in despair. He ran angry hands over his face, then raised sad, despaired eyes to look at me. Pity for him tugged my heart. But I could not go anywhere near him, not when I was also a mess inside. “She made me believe in love.” He started.A short silence followed. He glanced at me. His phone began to ring. He went to the other side to pick it from the bedside table. I watched him slide a finger over the screen to turn it off.“Come, let me make you something to drink.” I cleared my throat and approached the entrance of my bedroom, expecting him to follow me.I knew now that ,there was a lot to discuss and he was determined to get answers. Also, I needed to know who this his mate was. Ex-mate. Dead and gone.“I’m curious to know who she was too, Lucy.” Laia said from my head.She was resting in a quite gloomy position. She was also feeling
ALPHA JAX“Where the hell are you?” I snapped angrily into the phone that was on loudspeaker on my end.The phone was settled on the black phone stand while I sipped whiskey, and paced around my office enraged. What used to be whiskey glasses were now a mess of shards on the floor. “Where else would I be?” Came her bored-sounding response.“Fuck you, Lucy!” I practically screamed.“Hey, you might be an Alpha but I deserve respect too.” Her tone held defiance.My chuckle was bitter and short. I wish she was here, I would squeeze life out of her. The bitch!“You don’t deserve any respect. The audacity to ask for respect you haven’t earned.”“I haven’t earned?” She wasn’t too pleased.Good. At least, we were on the same page on emotions. “Yes. You call yourself an assassin yet you ran away from the fight tonight!” The more I thought of it, the angrier I got. She had her chance but she let it slide between her fingers.There was no response from the other end, I almost thought she had
LucyI slumped to the sofa Armando was occupying in exhaustion. “Kill me, huh?” He picked two slices of chips and threw in his mouth.I eyed him in anger, irritation and annoyance. “What is wrong with you?!” “Don’t use that tone on me. You just agreed to find me and kill me.” His expression was not exactly angry, but he didn't look happy either.“Why did you answer my call?!” I raged on. “Do you know if I wanted to answer him or not, you're crazy…fuck you!”“I don’t care if you wanted to answer him or not but my picking that call was an intentional act.” he replied as he kept chewing on the chips.“And why would you even do that?! That’s trespassing!” I felt like scratching his eyes out. “But it wasn't trespassing when you checked my caller ID and read my message?” His tone was taunting.He fixed his gaze on me. It was as though he was silently mocking me. He was right. Once again, it was déjà vu. He was doing to me what I had done to him. But that did not make me feel guilty or b
ARMANDOI lifted her and carried her to the bedroom. Her mouth kissing every part of my face she could access.I had come for answers but the night was beginning to take a different turn from the one I had originally pictured.I had wanted answers but was distracted by this mate bond thing with her,it was a little too strong and my strength had failed me. I laid her down on the bed gently and got to work, removing her tank top that had only accentuated the curves of her perfectly rounded breasts.Lust kicked hard between my legs, making my length grow harder. “I want you naked too.” She said in a breathy whisper, tugging at my unbuttoned shirt. “Got it.” I got down and made a quick work of peeling off every clothing barrier including my briefs.I rejoined her on the bed and also helped pull her shorts off of her.Both of us stark naked, I dipped my head and took her mouth. She was delicious, this was all I could think about in that moment.Passion roared in my head and made me want
LucyI didn't think I had ever indulged in sex that was as mind-blowing and brain-numbing as this one. With Armando everything had been so wonderful.It felt like I was having sex for the first time in my life. I was hardly a fairytale person, but I dare say this particular one with him had been magical.I was still catching my breath. Him too. None of us had been able to say anything to each other."I liked it very much, Lucy." Laia said from my head. She sounded cheerful."Who wouldn't like it, Laia?" I asked, a secret smile formed on my lips.He had me cuddled in his arms, my head resting on his solid, reliable chest. "I want to hunt Jax down and kill him." He said suddenly.I raised my head to look at him. "Huh?""You heard me." He raised himself too to a sitting position."Yes, I heard you. But I can't understand why you would want to do that." My brows were furrowed.He etched his eyebrows and responded. "What I can't understand is why you think I shouldn't." He made emphasis
Lucy“Can I see her?” We were back to the living room, after another round of passionate sex ,it was late into the night and surprisingly, none if us had talked about him leaving. I was still in shock that I didn’t want him to go just yet. That was surprising for someone who loved and enjoyed her privacy.Our cans of half drunk beer were now warm. I had to discard them to bring new, chilled ones from the fridge. The chips were still crunchy though, so we ate that.“Who?” He turned his face away from the TV to cast me a look.“Zara.” I said softly.He nodded. He took his phone and scrolled through his gallery. Then he put the phone in my face.“That’s her.”“Oh. She’s beautiful.” I could not help commenting. The face looking back at me was lovely and innocent.“And the sweetest person I’d ever known.” He added.I looked at him. “Yes, she was.” I fought against jealousy. “She’s definitely the kind of girl men would go for, you know.”“And you think men won’t go for you?” He raised a
Lucy“What the hell is happening?!” I yelled over the chaos of resounding gun shots. “I saw the silhouette of a man sneaking towards your window. Who else knows you live here?” He turned to me.We were belly crawling away from the living room, into the bedroom. That was where my weapons were. “No one, until you.” I quickly shut the door as soon we were in.“And now them.” He pointed towards the door. “We need to find a way out of here, Lucy.”Anger boiled my blood. “Damn it! How did they find me? Who is even ‘they’?!”“I don’t know but all I know is right now, we fucking need to leave this place. I have my…” He felt around himself. “…ah! Fuck it! My gun is in the living room.”I went to press my ear to the door. I turned to him and shook my head.“That you can’t hear a thing doesn’t mean they are not there. They might be waiting for you to make an appearance where they can see you.” His voice was now a whisper.Gun shots had ceased, there were no footsteps. No nothing. But I was not
