Thalia “I am very needy. Can you put up with me?” I asked. They both nodded.“Try me.” “Okay, I will just call my workplace and quit. It’s not like I liked the people I work with, I just work because I need the money.” I told them and made to leave again but something else occurred to me. I turned to them and they both lifted questioning brows.“Are you both really smart or are you so rich that you can get anything you want?” I blurted out and bit my lips after. Maybe I shouldn’t have asked but when I am with them, I tend to lose the ability to control what I say.“Both.” Cross said with a smug smirk. Was he bragging right now?“Which is it? Who is rich and who is smart?” He laughed and so did Lucas. Were they really making fun of me? Wait until they find out that I am pretty smart and from a very rich family too. I wasn’t really proud of my background so I don’t talk about it and work part-time to earn money so as not to depend on my parents. They tend to rob it in my face wh
Thalia “I am glad you agree with me. I think I am being punished too. Why else will my life be in danger just because I had sex?” I let out.“Yeah, it’s pretty bad. I have heard of the council from my aunty. Part of the reason she moved away to be with her mate was because the council was always meddling. I don’t know the full details because I was young then but it was pretty hard for her. I saw her crying and talking with my mom multiple times. She even thought of breaking up with him at one point, but she loved him too much so in the end, she moved away just so they could be together.” Wow, I didn’t know what to say. No wonder Rachael had been so sweet with me earlier.“Is it okay if I steal your aunty and make her mine too? I think I might need her more going forward.” She nodded even before I finished talking. “Of course, you are my best friend, Lia, so my family is your family too. I am just sad that you have to leave.” I smiled and spread my arms out. She moved closer and
Thalia “Don’t worry, you don’t have to tell me that. She’s going to break up with him.” “Tish!” I let out, at Lucas’s words. It was because of him that I plan on keeping my relationship with Steve going. I want to see him melt with jealousy since he decided to be a meanie towards me. “Mily, you can’t just keep doing that. Do I need to remind you of the school rule?” I let out. “You are the only one who cares about that rule, honestly. I know a lot of students who have been in intimate relationships with unmarried professors. Some even with the married ones. No one has been sent away because no one has been caught. Plus, we are graduating soon. You have been a good girl, you are allowed to be bad just this one. I mean for these.” She let out, pointing at Cross and Lucas. “For these, I will gladly sin and get caught. Too bad I love my boyfriend and they already belong to you.” She commented and walked away like she didn’t just say what she did. “They don’t belong to me.”
Thalia I froze. Literally froze everywhere except my mouth. My lips couldn't freeze when the heat of his mouth was pressed hungrily on mine. His tongue preyed my mouth until I was forced to open and his tongue drove into my mouth. The kiss went wild pretty fast. He pushed me until the back of my head was touching the car window glass, his mouth exploring mine. The heat from his mouth hot on mine spread through my body. God, how I missed his kisses even though we only shared one night together, it felt like a lot of time because he kissed me so many times that night.He kissed me harder, exploring every contour of my mouth, occasionally taking my tongue in his and sucking, then driving his tongue into my mouth. It went on and on.I finally reacted when my neck started to cramp. I tapped him, trying to break the kiss but he didn’t stop. He just continued kissing me. No, he was practically eating my mouth. As if he lost control and didn’t want to stop. I went from tapping him to wra
ThaliaBy the time we arrived at his house or what I thought it was, I managed to overthink until I couldn’t even look at him anymore. I was so sure now that if I moved too much, he would change his mind and send me away. I don’t even know how I managed to get that thought in my head.I couldn’t even look up or look around, I had both hands in my lap in front of me, staring at them and waiting for the moment it would happen.“Darling? We are home.” His voice shocked me because he didn’t even know he stopped the car, got out, and was now at my side of the car holding the door open for me.“Hey, what’s wrong?”He asked in a soft, kind voice that warmed my heart. I shook my head and tried to get out of the car but he blocked my exit and made me look at him. I couldn’t escape even if I wanted to. It felt like he was staring into my soul.I tried to look away but he didn’t let me.“Lia, you have to tell me what’s wrong for me to fix it. You might think I don’t know you well enough but I c
Thalia“You are thinking again.” Cross pointed out, bringing me out of my thoughts.“I just want to know what happened. Why did you guys break up? Did you fight over a woman?” I let out. Only a woman could make two best friends fight and break up forever. “What the hell? I have better taste in women than he does. Plus, when we stopped talking, we were pretty much virgins.” Oh, I didn’t think of that. They were pretty young.“So what happened? And why would you say it like that? The way I see it, you both have similar taste seeing as you are both mated to me.” I pointed out.“Aha, true, I didn’t think about that but, aside from that, I know he dated below my style.” “Tish, that doesn’t help and you still haven’t told me why you guys fought.” I reminded him. He let out a sigh and looked away like he didn’t want to talk about it.“Can we not talk about it? Like you didn’t want to talk about your parents, I really don’t want to talk about it.”Even though I really wanted to know, I
Thalia“Your mate? Really? Since when?”My inner voice questioned but I couldn’t see past the rage inside me to even think of that right now. I wanted to tear the bitch away from my man and send her out of the house. They were talking but I couldn’t even hear what they were saying because I was too busy being angry at the fact that Cross held her close and even played with her hair.Jealousy, mad jealousy blew up inside me. How could he do that when he was kissing me in his car just a while ago? How could he smile at another woman with me in the room with him? Did he bring me here to meet his other woman?My hands clenched into fists and terror threatened to blind me. Was that it? Did he pick up girls from my school and lie to them about being mated and then bring them to his house? I don’t even know how that makes sense because he just started lecturing at my school today and they act as if they have known each other for a very long time.I moved away from them so as to stop myself f
Thalia“Yes, I am the alpha of the pack.”I stared at him mouth opened.“Alpha? You?”“Why? Is it hard to believe? Don’t I give off alpha vibes? Isn’t that how you young people talk these days?”Why was he acting like he was ancient?“Why are you acting ancient?”I blurted out and bit my lips. Alpha? Isn’t he like supper important? Like a king or president? What if his people find out that I have been disrespectful towards him? Will they come for me? I sure hope not.“You should rest for today. You have a class tomorrow. Elena will show you to your room. You can tell her if you need anything. We will talk better tomorrow.”He told me. It felt like he was dismissing me. I wanted to argue but decided against it. What will it help? I already followed him home.“I will take you to your room.”Elena told me. She smiled again. I nodded and followed behind her. I still had many questions, but I figured it would be better to ask them tomorrow. Or I could just ask Elena. She stopped at a door
Thalia “That’s for what you did to me last night.” He told me. I stared at him, confused as fuck and wondering what he was talking about. I didn’t even see him last night. It took a moment for what he meant to finally click and when it did, I frowned in disappointment. That’s it? That’s the punishment he told me about? I thought it would be something more. Like something erotic that would make me beg him. You know what I mean, right? I might have overestimated things. I couldn’t even hide my disappointment. “Why that face?” He asked me with concern. The playfulness of earlier was gone from his face. I tried to play it off because honestly, it was nothing to feel disappointed about. I don’t even know what’s wrong with me these days. I keep creating problems for myself. “Nothing,” I told him with a smile. He didn’t buy it. “Tell me. You can tell me anything, baby. Don’t hold back. I like it when you don’t hold back. Tell me whatever is on your mind no matter what it is,
Thalia He had nothing under the robe and was naked before me once the robe came off. I shamelessly ogled. God! His body was a work of art. I thought Lucas was packed tight and fit. Cross was just out of this world. And the most interesting part of him? His cock, thick and hard. His tip called to me as he reached and stroked himself. I swallowed and filled my eyes with the goodness of what I was about to enjoy until he got back on the bed with me. “Are you ready for me?” His words were more of a growl but I figured them out and nodded. “Yes..” I let out when he lifted his brow. He smirked and pulled me to him. He lifted my legs, lined his throbbing cock with my entrance, and sank into me. I couldn’t stop the loud, not-so-classy moan that escaped from my mouth when I felt him deep inside me again after weeks of wanting him and craving his fullness inside me. He filled me up so well in the way only he could and it felt so familiar. “Ohhh… Yess… fucking finally…” I let out as
Thalia “Cross.” I moaned his name in anticipation as he lifted my shirt to take it up. I raised my hand to aid the movement and soon, my shirt was off, leaving me in just my bra. His mouth closed over mine in a hot passionate kiss that had me breathing his breath and whimpering into his mouth. He kissed me hard and fast and then slowly. He nibbled on my bottom lips, slowly and sensually while his hands traveled my body. Then the kiss went from sensual to him practically eating me up. I had to up my game to match his energy as much as I could. God! He was as hungry for me as I was for him and I could feel it in the way he dragged his hands over my lower body, touching my bare skin with his warm fingers and leaving behind tingles everywhere he touched. I was on fire for him. I wanted him to touch me even more. I wanted to be completely consumed by the fire he started inside me. I didn’t just take; I also gave as much as I could. My finger curled into his hair and I grabbed a fistfu
Thalia “I missed you,” He growled when he pulled away to allow us to breathe after the breathtaking kisses we shared. I liked my slightly swollen lips. I could say the same about him. I missed him so much. I was the one who kissed him again. I kissed him with everything inside me, showing him just how much I missed him with my mouth. When we stopped kissing again, we stared at each other longingly. “God, Cross! I missed you so much! It doesn’t feel like it has only been a few days. It feels like we have been apart for so long.” I told him sincerely. I wanted to kiss him more. I wanted to get naked with him already and get to know him again in the most intimate way. It has been weeks since I last felt him inside me and the memories of that night were starting to fade away. I needed a redo to remind me of just how good it had been between us. “I missed you too, my darling. So much. I can’t believe I wasted our week together. I was such a fool.” I couldn’t disagree. It w
Thalia “It’s really you?” I asked even as I held him, his arms wrapped around my waist. I talked his shoulder and he let me go. I put a small distance between us, wondering if I was really seeing him. “Baby?” He called out. It didn’t look like a dream. It clearly wasn’t a dream! “Cross!” I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was here. He was really here. I thought I was dreaming when I saw him for the first time. I walked in and busied myself taking off my shoes first so that I could get comfortable enough to look around for the surprise Lucas had talked about. I didn’t even notice him until he whispered something and I looked up to see him standing there, it felt like a dream. I thought I had fallen somewhere, lost consciousness, and started dreaming. He was really here. “Hey baby, you are finally here! Surprise!” He said again and spread his arms out. The first time he said it, it didn’t click that he was the surprise that Lucas had talked about. He said it again and s
Cross “What’s taking him so long? Did he ditch me?” I grumbled impatiently and checked the time again. It was almost eight pm and still no sight of my mate and the fucker who went to get her. It shouldn’t take so long to bring her to me. We had an agreement. “The fucker!” I complained. I hope I didn’t drive all the way down here and did nothing. I dropped a meeting that I was supposed to hold to come here. I missed my mate so much and wanted to see her so badly that I didn’t think twice about postponing the meeting after I got him to agree to let me come over. I drove miles and hours to get here. I put my beta in charge of the pack just to come spend the night with my mate. He better not fuck things up. I wanted to call her after I found out from him that he messed up and made her mad but he said it would ruin her surprise so I stayed put. Oh, I gave him a piss of my mind. No way I was going to let him off after he made our mate angry and sad. The other thing he did to
Thalia “What’s the surprise? Tell me please,” I said, pouting my lips in an effort to make him spill the tea but he just laughed and shook his head. I wanted to know and now I wanted us to be at the hotel already so that I could see the surprise. “Patient baby. Good things happen to those who are patient.” He told me and hugged me again. He was right. If only I was patient enough to hear his own side of the story, I wouldn’t have almost ruined our relationship again. I need to learn to trust him and believe in what we have. The girls believed in him more than I did. I should thank them for talking me into coming to see him if not, I would have spent the night in misery all because of lies that Mariah made up. “I can’t believe I fell for her lies. I am so sorry, Lucas. I shouldn’t have doubted you.” I told Lucas sincerely. I can’t believe I almost ruined our relationship over a lie. Over some twisted narrative. Mariah might not know the harm she did by twisting what happ
Lucas “It wasn’t a date. I promise. She asked me to take her back to the resort because the bus left without her and she didn’t know her way around.” I explained the first part of what happened and why she even got in my car in the first place. I couldn’t leave her on her own. I genuinely thought that she was stranded and I didn’t want anything to happen to her. I got Thalia’s attention so I went on. “Halfway through the ride, she told me that she hadn’t eaten all day so I stopped at a restaurant and got her food. After that, she told me she got her period and didn’t have a pad with her so I drove to the mall and paid god the things she got. That’s it.” I explained to her. She didn’t look convinced at first but her expression started to change right before my eyes. I waited for her to process the things I told her first before I continued. She opened and closed her mouth multiple times without saying anything and still, I waited. “Did you hug her?” That happened too bu
Lucas “Lucas? Stop the car!” I looked at Thalia and ignored her. I had no intentions of stopping the car until we were out of the resort and somewhere I could park and y’all to her. I can’t believe she thought I went on a date with that Mariah girl. Yes, I did buy her lunch because she kept insisting and then she told me her period started and I had to follow her to the shop where she got pads and other things. I paid for the things ahead bought out of the goodness of my heart but I never thought of it as a date nor did I let her hug me. Thalia found out and got everything wrong. No. I would never take another woman out or think of being with another woman who wasn’t my mate. I hated that she even thought about me cheating on her. Cheating! I don’t cheat! Not even when I dated a lot. I always made sure that I wasn’t seeing two people at once. I have never two-timed or double dates in my whole life, why would I do it now with my mate? The crazy part of everything was th
