André's POVI saw the way her eyes rippled, and I slowly released the grip on her face.I wanted to just swoop on her lips angrily and kiss my anger away.I wasn't angry at her but at that bastard that she had stayed with.Did I trust him?No.I knew men. I knew how low they could sometimes stoop, especially for someone as beautiful as my mate. I was scared to lose her, and I didn't want anyone to take advantage of her. There was no way that I could believe that he had stayed this entire time with Olivia and not have thoughts about having her in his bed or about making...No. Even the thoughts made me even more angry.I slowly let go of her, and there was a brief silence in the room."Don't talk about another man in front of me, Olivia."I watched her face twist funnily. I could tell that she knew I was jealous, but every effort she made to pacify me only gave me more reasons to worry. "André, he is not another man. He is a 'friend' —a friend who happens to be a lot more supportive o
Olivia's POV“Don’t cross the line, Olivia,” he warned with a low growl. I saw the disappointment in his eyes. I felt guilt stab at my heart, but pride consumed me and didn't allow me to make amends."The most important person in the world to me has always been my father. He did everything for me. He was there for me when Nicole ran away to leech off you. You are my mate, and if you can't support me in trying my best to repay him for all that he had done for me while he was alive, then I don't see what we should be together."The words tumbled out of my mouth like water from a waterfall. His expression was so raw and full of pain, and I could feel his anger burning hot.I wanted to say, 'I was sorry' or, 'I had made a mistake, ' but something held the words in my throat."This relationship of ours can't stand if you can't support the things and people that I care about. I can't just be there for you anytime you want to blow off steam and relieve yourself of sexual tension. I'm not you
Olivia's POVI could not speak. My words were silenced, and all I could feel was my body slowly giving in to his touch.I tried to stop myself. I tried to resist the way he made me feel weak and vulnerable, the way he made a claim to my body every time he touched me.I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of listening to my moans every time his hands went up my thigh.But I couldn't stop myself. I couldn't stop myself from groaning every time his fingers teased my skin. I felt his fingers grip my skin, and I felt a ripple of pleasure.Why couldn't I control myself around him? Why did my barriers shatter every time I was near him? Was I really that pathetic? His fingers played with my body. I could feel them writing his name on my skin. His voice filled my ears with an enchanting and seductive timbre. “You are mine, Olivia. Only mine."His fingers dipped inside of me, and my juices slushed as I felt them run down my legs.I gripped the sheets and tried to get away from the crippl
Olivia's POV I felt my energy skyrocketing. I heard Nima giggle out in my head."Finally! I thought you were going to be a sissy little pushover and let him tell you what to do."I scoffed and continued to pin André on the bed. The raw energy flooding through me was amazing. I felt so alive.I felt him struggle a bit, but my grip was firm. I felt something slipping out of me. I couldn't tell what it was, but it was something subtle.I sniffed the room and smelt it—my scent. It filled the room and doused the air like strong, enticing perfume. I had never been able to smell it, but now I understood why I always drew my attention to myself. It was powerful, and I could only imagine how André was coping. I turned my attention back to André and saw him looking at me with wide eyes."Olivia? Are you alright?"I saw the bewilderment shimmer in his green eyes. The disbelief on his face was one I was going to cherish for a long time."Olivia? Are you okay?"I didn't answer his question and i
Olivia's POVI felt tears well up in my eyes. What was I even doing? What prompted me to say the things I said earlier? Was that how I really felt about our relationship? I was ashamed and tried to look away, but his palm cupped my cheek and kept my eyes fixed on him."There is nothing to be sad about, Olivia. I understand that you are grown and need to make decisions for yourself. I understand that sometimes I can be overwhelming and possessive, but it's because I care about you. And I promise you that I will do anything and everything that I can for you."I felt my words being choked by tears."André, I...""Olivia, I will follow you to the ends of the earth if I have to, as long as it makes you happy. But your decision to go to Elvis Pine is risky, and all I was saying is that we shouldn't go there without having a plan and having security measures put in place."He pulled my face gently and pressed my forehead on his."I lost you once. I am not going to lose you again. Please, Ol
André's POVI watched as Olivia slept peacefully. The day had been far spent. I was hoping we would get to the pack, but a lot of things had happened, and we were still in bed.I watched her sleep, eager to stroke her face and push away the stray lock of hair that fell over her left eye.Soon, I heard her groan, and she stirred gently. I watched as she opened her eyes and looked around."Hello, beautiful."Her face beamed with a smile, and her cheeks gently filled with colour."How long was I asleep?"I walked up to her and sat beside her, finally getting the opportunity to play with her hair."Not too long. I didn't want to wake you up. You looked so tranquil."Her eyes were washed all over my face, and each glance was filled with love. "Aren't we going back home? I know you wanted to leave early. I'm sorry that I delayed and...""Shhhhh. It's fine–"I hushed her silently and sealed her lips with a soft kiss."–I asked the men to grab your bags and take them to the car. I would like
Olivia's POV I was still in bed when André came in with an armload of bags. I sat up in alarm and watched him drop the bags on the table."André, I thought you were just going to find a few and not the entire store..."He silenced my complaints with a kiss, and when he pulled away, I could feel my face filling with colour."You are my woman, and if I could buy the world for you, I would. Now hurry up and get ready. We wouldn't want to keep everyone waiting."I wanted to speak. I wanted to protest still, but my tongue was stuck to the roof of my mouth. Why did he always have to do this to me?I exhaled and got out of bed. I felt his eyes on my body as I grabbed the towel and slipped into the bathroom. I had a quick shower, and when I got out, I was surprised to see André sitting on the bed. On his lap was a dress that he had picked out for me."André, what are you doing?""If I am going to take my woman to see another man, I would like him to know that I can take care of her by myself
André's POVMy lips turned down at the corners, and my brows knitted. I was unhappy with the attention my kitten was showing a random stranger.I accessed him. Was there really anything to be worried about? He was good-looking, and he looked reasonable and responsible, but that was probably all a guise.The biggest crime masterminds were the ones in a tie. I watched their entire interaction with tension and loathing. My body tightened uncomfortably when she hugged him.I saw his golden eyes feed on her body as she talked and apologised to him. Why was she acting like that around him? I didn't like how much she cared about him. I wanted to stop her. I wanted to go there, grab her, and tell her that she could only fuss over me like that.I watched his eyes beam slightly. I could tell that he was relishing the attention he was getting from her.Fuck! He was getting too comfortable. His looks all over her signalled greed and desire. I knew it. There was something off about him. He wasn'
