Amelia's povI am not sure why I felt so guilty walking the halls of Creek High but I do and it feels as though a huge weight is on my shoulder, tugging me down and preventing me from even looking straight ahead. " Amelia!" I feel a sudden weight that is not the burden I had seconds ago come over my shoulders and glance to the side to see Foster smiling at me. He's cheerful this early morning. I eye him suspiciously and his grin widens. " I talked Pickett into coming back to school today," he boast with a slight chirp in his tone. I smile, it's tight and almost a cringe because now I finally come to a realization of why I was feeling so guilty. Pickett. I was an awful friend for kissing Raiden and now I had let him touch me in ways no one has ever. I reach my locker, putting the combination to open it. " That's great!" I try to keep my voice steady and not have guilt swim in my tone. Foster nods eagerly. " It is, I know Pickett and I honestly thought she'd want to switch schools,"
Raiden's povI watch her walk away, her defiance seeming to send a sharp shock to my cock as it twitches. I bit my lip, peering at her sexy back and smirk. Her defiance was hot. Too hot. Maybe I should throw her over my knees and spank her for being so daring. Her friend Foster eyed me in shock before following after her. A hand clamps on my shoulder and Damon whistles. " Well damn, I think you just got rejected yet again by the little human, alpha," he teased, chuckling low. " Shut up," my smirk fades into a scowl as I send him a sharp glare. He raises his hands in surrender. " Okay, okay someone's in a mood," he laughed and elbows Lester. " Our alpha is in a pissy mood." Lester snorts. " Seems like he's always in a mood when the human is around," his brow raises." But not in the mood you're speaking of," he tilts his head to my pants and chuckle. " Might want to go take care of that before everyone notices." I look down and sure enough my cock is straining against my zipper. I c
Amelia's povHeart racing, palms sweating, mind running, I stare at him completely gobsmacked. His smirk widens at my reaction which finally pulls me out of my state of shock. How cocky can one be?I rip my eyes away, continuing to look interested in the books. " That's your problem and not mine," I say hotly, trying to reign in my composure. My body buzzes with awareness when he moves away from the shelf and struts over to me. " Oh but it has everything to do with you spitfire," he rasp, now so close I can smell him. I embarrassingly take in a whiff and move my head away so he would not see my reaction. My heart pounds against my chest and butterflies flutter up my ribcage. Goosebumps rise on my skin when he leans in, placing his hand on the bookshelf beside my head, trapping me between him and the shelves. " Who do you think caused this little problem?" his hot breath is fanning against my neck, making me sink my teeth into my lower lip even more. " Get away from me," I hiss, yet
Amelia's pov" I-I hate you," I whimpered when I felt his heat against mine. The only barrier between us is my panties and his pants. Raiden's eyes penetrate through mine and he grinds his hips forward, making me feel him more. I gasp, clutching his shoulders. Damn him. Damn him!" You bastard," I snarl, well I tried to. It's hard when I can't bring in all my hate at once. " Perverted bastard," I breathed, clutching his shoulders harder, my nails digging into his skin. The hate I had for Raiden was powerful but the lust...the lust was just as powerful and maybe more so. He kept his hips flush against mine, suffocating me with his spicy scent that made me breathe in. "If you don't want this, push me away," he challenged me. Pushing him away would be the best thing to do. It would not only save me the embarrassment but also the guilt for going back on my word. Yet.....there's a burning passion swirling between us that he alone can quench. I don't understand it and I don't know when
Amelia's povThe realization is a blow to my ego, one that made me want to fight this war with my body but I am not strong enough to. Instead, I let myself be swept with the pleasurable sensations and let him consume me like no other. He pants, his eyes drowning into mine. My body responds to him in ways I cannot control, that I know. My mind tells me to push him away, but my body has a mind of its own, drawing him closer, moving faster against him until my lips part and his name breathe out of my lungs. " Raiden," I whimper, shuddering as I crash through the wave of pleasure, gripped by the ankles and pushed under the riptide. Raiden holds me tight as if afraid I'd disappear any second now. He watches me intensely, his eyes showing how satisfied he was that he made me come in such little time. As I convulse and tremble, the earlier desire is fading back into rage and I glared at his smug face. " Asshole!" I hiss, my legs still feeling jello. I press my hand to his chest and push
Amelia's pov" Did you do something to that guy?" Foster leans in to murmur close to my ear. I look up from my fries and stare at him confused. " Raiden has been staring at you since you stepped foot in the cafeteria," his eyes flicked behind me. My pulse races much to my dismay. I can feel the weight of his stare on my back. I had felt it from the moment I walked into the room. But I had tried my best to ignore it, however, I can no longer. I twist around to catch a glimpse of him, surprised to see the burning intensity he had on me. My face flamed hot despite trying to seem indifferent. I flipped him off and watch his eyes dance with amusement, his lips curving into a smirk while his friends hoot in laughter. Glaring at him, I turn back around to continue to munch on my fries when Foster leans a little in again and whispers. " He's coming this way," his voice is a shudder of fear and surprise, making my stomach crumble with nerves. I stiffen, my bones turning to steel as I try
Amelia's povThe cafeteria buzzes with hushed whispers of shock, stolen surprised glances that turn to lethal glares from the girls while the boys look wonder. They must be wondering what kind of rock fell on Raiden's head. My glare hardens and my gritting teeth pains my jaw but I cannot stop as I grow more and more frustrated. I take a quick glance at the line and noticed Pickett had finally become aware of what was going on. Her eyes told me she was angry and just as stunned as everyone else. Of course she'd be angry, I had promised her I would never deal with Raiden again and she would not have to worry about Dayna taking out her anger for me on her anymore. My stomach burns with guilt and I look away, staring back at Raiden whose head is still tilted, eyes intense on me. It feels like I have betrayed her once again. " You must be a clown today," I gritted, loud enough so everyone could hear. " A clown who's not funny at all." Instead of being upset like I had hoped he would,
Amelia's povThe air around us crackles with intensity, so bristling hot that I may have forgotten how to breathe for a moment. As I stared into his eyes I realized that it wasn't the tension in the room that snagged my very breath but the boy standing right before me, staring at me with heated eyes. His words were like a dare that hung in the air. A dare to see who will crack first and I refuse to be the first one to fall under the pressure. Biting into my lower lip as a silent resort to pull myself together, I sneered up at him. " You can play your little games by yourself Raiden," I snarled under my breath, taking a step back from the heat radiating off of him. " But I won't be your puppet." My heart is still pounding when I turn back to ignore him when his fingers wrap around my arm and pull me back. I made a noise at the back of my throat that sounded close to a gasp and yelp as I whip around and slam against his broad chest. His chest rumbles as he groans in pleasure as tho
Raiden's povWhat had I ever seen in Dayna? Why did I ever give her the time of day? Why did it take me this long to realize she was a complete monster?My wolf shook through the restraints of my mind, simmering with rage. I could no longer hold back and stand up, startling Amelia when I heard her soft unexpected gasp. My fists clench at my sides, my claws digging into my palm, trying to stop myself from shifting there and then.With my vision sharpening, I knew I was losing the battle to restrain my wolf. I turn around sharply, of course confusing Amelia, but I had to do it in case I revealed too much way too soon." Raiden?" her soft, confused, questioning tone filter behind me where I had left her. I could not respond, frightened that my tone had shifted to that of my wild nature.' Is Pickett okay?' I question, my blood running cold knowing that the only reason she was targeted was because I took interest...more than just interest in Amelia.' She's shaken up, currently in the med
Raiden's povMy wolf felt it. I felt it. Something about this girl and how she made me feel was different. A good different. And as I stare into her piercing eyes, I register that she is no ordinary human, at least not to me. 'Raiden!' Damon's voice pierces through the mind link, pulling me out of my thoughts that were fueled with only Amelia. My wolf growls at the interruption, more irritated that our attention was cut from Amelia. I reluctantly pull my gaze away from the beauty in front of me, knowing that watching her alone would move me from reality, and judging by the sharpness of Damon's tone......I needed to be in reality now. ' What is it Damon?' I try to keep the irritation of being interrupted out of my voice, especially knowing he wouldn't interrupt if there wasn't an issue. ' Your psycho ex did something man,' his tone comes out shaken as though he couldn't believe something happened. My blood runs cold. Dayna. What had the bitch done this time?' What had she done!?
Amelia's povHis hand was warm, the feeling alone sending jolts of electricity through the veins in my arms until my entire body could feel his touch. His thumb starts to trace little circles on my skin, and I am instantly aware of how much bigger his hands are compared to mine.I swallowed once more. Hating him seemed to be more tortuous for me than it was for him. A shaky breath left my lips as I stare deep into his soul.There's a flash of something in his gaze, a flash of something wild and unknown. But it's quick to leave, quick to hide away from me to understand such a strange emotion.I gulped, my eyes shifting away from the pools that somehow undressed me and left me completely naked and bare. " It's not like I had a choice...." I drawled while trying to keep the vulnerability he seem to push out of me, away from my tone.My eyes on their own, slide down his straight nose to those lips I like to feel sliding across mine. " It seemed as though you'd hunt me down if I did,"A sw
Amelia's povI narrowed my eyes on him while trying to fight off the warm flush creeping up my neck by his words. " You don't get to boss me around," I huffed. Despite my words, I find myself settling on the red and white checkered blanket. I crossed my legs beneath me, thankful when a gust of cool wind brush against my flamed cheeks. I had a feeling my face was red from being teased every second by him. Raiden's lips curved into a grin that made the already wild butterflies in my stomach flutter more savagely. He settles on the blanket, stretching out beside me and angling his body toward me as he propped himself on his elbow. He stares at me intently. " I'm in your head again," he commented with a curved smile. I rolled my eyes and attempted to conceal the fact that he was absolutely right. " You wish," I scowled. Raiden doesn't say a word, only stares at me deeply. I feel instantly bare under his gaze, and with the way his eyes held mine, like he could see right through me...ho
Amelia's povRaiden's smile grew more as he gently pulled me out of the car, his hand strong and warm, clutching me like he was scared I'd let go. The feeling of him holding my hand, just my hand sent more tingles racing through me. My feet sink into the grass, the blades brushing against my ankles. The place felt like it was untouched, like an unrevealed world tucked away from everything else. It felt magical. And as he holds my hand tight while moving to the back to pull out the basket, I can't help but feel like he had brought me here to see a side of him I had never seen before. And perhaps, that was the side I needed to see. Perhaps, that was the side that was the real him. He clasp me like I was his lifeline as he started for the lake, me right by his side. I can't help but steal a glance at him. Trying to build my walls back up seems almost impossible now. Not when I am seeing this side of him. " This doesn't change anything you know," I murmur, my eyes drawing to our inter
Amelia's pov The excitement started to build as we moved deeper into the forest. I am not sure if it was the thrill of the unknown or just the thrill of being alone with Raiden himself, but something was making my heart race and my stomach fill with butterflies. I chewed on my lower lip, wondering if I would ever be able to control myself around him. " Are we there yet?" I cleared my throat, putting some bite into my tone to seem as though I was not looking forward to this date. Raiden glances over at me with that very same infuriating smirk that made my belly do knots. "Someone seems excited," he points out with a glint of happiness in his eyes. I rolled mine and remained quiet. " We're almost there baby," he commented after a little pause. " I know it's a long way but only the best for you. It will be worth it." My heart races faster, the bundle of nerves and excitement making my mind foggy. The way he said 'baby' got under my skin....in a good way. It was intimate and I hate
Amelia's povRaiden's grin widened and I knew he could see right through my lying excuse. " Right baby, let's go with that lie," smirking while he shifts the car back into gear. My ego would not make me stay quiet or let him be right so with a glare I snapped. " It's not a lie!" His chuckles move loud and deep in the confines of the vehicle as he pull away from the curb. " Sure baby," he was clearly amused by my defensiveness. " Keep telling yourself that." I glared at him, feeling my cheeks hot with burning frustration. His cockiness and playfulness were irritating and I hated that he could see right through me. Hiding my true self from Raiden was impossible. He already knew. " I don't know how you manage to be so annoying all the time," I mutter, crossing my arms over my chest and turning away from him so he'd not see the burn of red on my cheeks. Even though I was sure he had already seen it. Raiden didn't reply and I had a feeling he just didn't want to poke the bear also kno
Amelia's povNo, I couldn't fall for him. I wouldn't. My breath catches in my throat and I press my forehead against the glass, hoping that the coolness can somehow stop the heat running through my body. However, it didn't and this time I actually am not surprised. Raiden's mere presence was too overwhelming. I hated him, I should hate him, my mind tells me I should but my heart, it thrums louder the more I think about him......." You're glaring out that window pretty hard," Raiden suddenly joked. " What are you thinking so hard about in that pretty head spitfire?" I bit into the softness of my tongue until it pained as I riled in my emotions, well tried to. I pull back, pressing my back against the seat while my eyes return to the front, dead set on making sure I look nonchalant as possible. " Just trying to figure out a way to jump out of the vehicle and not having to see your face again," I mutter sarcastically. Raiden snorted. " Something tells me you would rather see my fac
Amelia's pov My breath catches in my throat, my cheeks reddening more hot. But it's not the heat of embarrassment that I had hoped for. It's the heat of need, desperate tickling need. Which is all the more frustrating. My pulse is racing and no matter how much I try to deny the feeling he invokes in me, my body betrays me and shows me the truth. " You're annoying," I mutter under my breath in a strained voice. Annoyingly tempting. I gripped the seatbelt around me tighter, my nails scrapping against the material. Would this ground me and make me resist him? No, impossible. I don't think anything would help me in this predicament. Raiden's husky laughter vibrates through the air, the tone setting me on fire. I bit into my lip, pressing my thighs together tighter. He knew what he was doing to me. He knew that he had the control. And I hated it. Despise it. I swallowed hard, the lump in my throat returning the second I felt his eyes on me. I looked out the window, my fingers trembl
