LucyMy bathroom space suddenly felt small. It was impossible for someone to be here but Laia was doing that prancing in my head yet again.And I’d come to learn that her prancing could only mean one thing — Armando. Not wanting to believe it, I turned and there he was, casually watching me take a bath. The scream that came from me had been a reflex action.“Hello, Night Star. We meet again.” He had on a smug expression.“How… h-how did…”“This.” He revealed the small black watch that was almost unnoticeable if one didn’t look properly. “Now ,are done bathing or do I have to wait for you to finish?”“I don’t know how you got in but I want you to get out!” I grabbed a towel from a nearby rack to wrap loosely around myself. Anger. It was better to feel anger than apprehension or intimidation or whatever weakening emotions threatening to buckle my knees.“I have all night to do this with you. So, if you truly want me out as fast as possible, you’ll give me what I need.” His gaze remai
LucyI went very still, my brain finding it hard to comprehend his lips on mine. He delved further using his tongue, trying to invade my mouth and dominate.At this point, I could only become too aware of my body completely exposed before him which should have worried me and poked at my sense of decency and dignity.But none of that happen. Even the shooting pain in my arm had reduced to a dull, throbbing one. My body wanted to edge close.Laia was doing a very active dance in my head. “Kiss him, Lucy. Kiss our mate.” I could practically hear her happy howls.Only my sense of rationality should be against this but even that was nowhere to be found.Lust kicked in, forcing my lips wide apart to grant him entrance.And he went in. His tongue clashing with mine as lips warred in a passionate kiss. I heard someone moan. Maybe it was him or me. I could not tell and right now, I did not care.As though we weren’t close enough, I tugged him by his shirt closer to me. He obeyed, his legs en
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
