Chapter 5 Her pain is my desire

But instead of listening to me, he gripped my hair and pulled my face to the other side, making me wince and let out a painful gasp.

Yet, he was far from halting his torment and buried his face in my neck, and inhaled deeply like the crazed dog that he was at the moment.

“Why do you smell so good?” He demanded with a furious voice.

“S-Stop…” I shuddered as he licked a sensitive spot under my ear, and to my horror, my stomach tightened with a shocking rush of pleasure.

"Ryder, stop!" I tried to push him away, but he was too strong.

I thought he was retaliating against me for interrupting his moment with Vanessa, but now I don't know anymore.

"I didn't mean to—" I began to explain that I was just passing by, but he cut me off with a growl, his eyes burning into mine with an almost devouring gaze.

It was as if he already knew everything and still chose to punish me.

His hands began to roam down my body and his touch was nothing but rough. My body trembles uncontrollably under his caress. I wanted to resist, but his fierce hold around me overwhelmed me.

I felt like I was being swept into an inescapable vortex.

"R-Ryder..pl…please," I panted nonstop, trying my best to keep breathing.

He didn't stop, his fingers increased the pressure on my hips and I felt an unprecedented sensation coursing through me.

It filled me with tension and fear. Yet, at the same time, an inexplicable excitement flooded my chest. I was trapped between wanting to escape and an uncontrollable desire to stay.

Ryder's body was pressed tightly against mine, his hand sliding under my skirt making my eyes wide in terror.

His breath was hot against my ear as he mocked, "Can't resist temptation, can you? Is it that easy for anyone to spread your legs?"

That insult brought me back to my senses. I took a deep breath, gathering my strength, and glared at him defiantly.

"I'd be willing to sleep with anyone but you and your brother," I spat, looking directly into his eyes with equal challenge.

"A loose mouth. Are you equally loose down there?" he smirked, his grip tightening painfully on my waist.

“Screw you, asshole!” I bit back and struggled harder against his iron grip. “Let me go!”

"Why? So you can run off and spread your legs for someone else?" he sneered, voice dripping with contempt.

I felt my anger flare even higher. "You're disgusting," I hissed. "You think you can treat me like this just because you're mad? You have no right!"

He rolled his eyes, and now that I noticed them clearly they weren't their usual colour, rather his eyes were glowing a bright blue colour. Which meant his wolf was on the edge of showing up and he was fighting it internally to not let it come out.

It was freaking scary. I never want to meet his wolf because he's already scary enough.

“The truth must have stung, no? You're such a nuisance.”

"Then why don't you leave me alone?" I shot back, my voice shaking with anger. "If I'm such a nuisance, just stay away from me!”

He laughed bitterly. “I was planning to. But since you're here, I have to deal with you. You show yourself as if you're so innocent and always play the victim. God, you're pathetic.”

I glared at him. Oh, how I wish I could punch that arrogant face of his. “At least I'm not a bully.”

His expression darkened, and for a moment, I thought he might actually hit me. But then he let out a low chuckle. “You haven't seen the real bully inside me. But keep pushing me and you'll find out soon.”

I felt a chill run down my spine, and I unknowingly gulped. "If you think you can scare me, you’re wrong. I'm not scared of you.”

“Scare you?” He sneered while bringing his face closer to mine in a threatening manner. "You’re not worth the effort."

"Then let me go," I demanded, trying to keep my voice steady despite my racing heart.

His eyes glowed even brighter, his anger radiating off him in waves.

Ryder’s pov ;

I could clearly see the humiliation in her eyes, and sniff the fear off her.

She was no match to me yet she tried to fight back with so much fierceness. That made me want to bully her even more, just to see how far I could take it till she broke down.

However, I didn't understand why I felt a sting in my chest when she said she would sleep with anyone but me and Hunter.

That rejection made my wolf so angry, it made my wolf come out and bite her neck off her head, if not for me to hold that cruel bastard back.

But there won't be a next time and I definitely won't save her.

To understand the strange feeling, and the delicious smell coming from her, I pulled her hips closer to me, feeling a strange possessiveness I couldn't explain.

But just as I was about to speak, I heard a voice from the other end of the pool.

"What are you doing?" Vanessa's voice rang out, sharp and accusing.

I turned my head, seeing her standing there with a look of shock and anger on her face. Everyone else was there too.

Now that's going to be fun.

Her gaze swept back and forth between me and Lily, obviously shocked by our current position.

I saw an absolutely great opportunity to provoke Vanessa.

I smiled maliciously at Lily, feeling her tense in my grasp. “Damn, Vanessa," I said loudly, feigning surprise. "You interrupted us at such a great time. We were just getting into some wonderful foreplay."

Vanessa's eyes widened and her face turned red in anger. "Wh..What?”

I tightened my grip on Lily's waist, pulling her even closer and making her gasp. She shook her head at Vanessa while glaring at me.

“No…it's not like-”

"Isn't it obvious?" I cut her off and smiled widely. "Lily was just about to show me how willing she is but you interrupted us."

I knew my words would deeply hurt Vanessa and provoke her, and that's exactly what I wanted.

Her gaze shifted between me and Lily, and she looked ready to kill Lily. “You bitch!”

Lily pushed me away and this time, I let her go.

“It's not like that I swear. It was him—urgh…mmmfg!” She scrambled out of the pool, trying to explain herself to Vanessa, but before she could say much, Vanessa shoved her hard.

Lily stumbled and fell back into the pool with a splash, causing everyone around to laugh.
