SIENNAI was beyond petrified. Every inch of me was engulfed in flame and I didn't want to think about the burning need that I felt in my core. I didn't want to think of the way I desperately ached to touch him or align myself with the taste of his lips. I wanted, so badly, to remember what he tasted like. I closed my eyes and sighed, trying to quell down the panic and arousal that were threatening to suffocate me. I didn't want him to stay away, and the emotions of my wolf were heightening mine in the process.“Get your hands away from me!” I growled.I knew that I didn't mean it but at the same time, it was too risky to have him touch me. It affected me to the point that it could almost be considered overwhelming. I closed my eyes and sighed. Somehow I needed to calm my racing nerves. My emotions were beginning to spiral out of control. “Say it,” he said and for some reason, I couldn't. I was unable to. I didn't want him to go away, I wanted him to stay. I wanted him so close to th
SIENNAThe feel of the fresh breeze was soothing against my face. It was even better as it ran through my hair. I clutched onto Benjamin's waist tighter as we rode in his motorcycle. I can't remember the last time I was in town. Everything looked unfamiliar and foreign to me. I remember Hailey and I going to the mall regularly to shop. After she moved away, and after I became assigned as Luna. I stopped going out. The only place I ever got to go to was the meetings that were mandatory to attend. I never really knew how to have fun. Memories of Sylvester and I drifted through my mind and I tried to forget it. It was hard. At the memory of what happened an hour ago between him and I, my whole mood crashed and it was impossible to stop thinking about him which felt absurd considering the fact that I was in Benjamin's company. I decided that I was going to enjoy the ride and well… Benjamin's company. At some point, we came to a halt and when I came down from the motorcycle and lifted th
SIENNAI was almost convinced that my teeth were going to fall out from eating so much sugar and yet this was a memory that I never wanted to let go of. I made a mental note in my mind that I was going to develop a habit of coming into town often. I certainly could not remain cooped up at home all the time. I never knew that Benjamin could be so flirty, although It disconcerted me in a way.The fluttering that I felt within the confines of my belly added to my confusion. Even if I felt a bit awkward, especially after my incident with the waitress, conversation still flowed smoothly between us and we laughed over memories of us coming to this place when we were younger. I guess we all grew up too fast. I considered taking a picture of the scene and sending it to Hailey to let her know how much I missed her and how I wished she was here, but I snapped my head out of the thought and decided that I would do it some other time. When we were finally done with the ice cream and the food, Ben
SIENNAI turned to him in surprise, mainly because I wasn't expecting him to still be here. He ought to have gone home by now. Benjamin tensed and I could tell that he was doing his best to remain composed and not to react in a way that was going to make me uncomfortable. Sylvester’s shirt was undone slightly and his hair was tousled as if he ran his hands through them more often than usual, maybe tugging at them in frustration. He looked tired from a hard day's work. I noticed how much his gaze darkened as they fell to me and Benjamin’s joined hands.I suddenly felt uncomfortable and I was tempted to pull my hands away but for some reason decided not to. I was going to hurt Benjamin's feelings just to soothe away his displeasure. But at the same time, why did I feel like I was doing something that I wasn't supposed to be doing? I ignored the Unnerving feeling and I raised an eyebrow at him. “Sylvester? What are you still doing here? It's late,” I finally said and I could hear him sc
Chapter Seventy FourSIENNAI was afraid to believe it made sense of whatever Sylvester was trying to say. I was trying to make sense of what he had told me. How he was willing to make a demanding sacrifice because of me. I didn't think that he was capable of that kindness. I didn't want the resentment that I had for him to shift into my former emotions for him. If I thought that I was exhausted then it had certainly intensified now. I noticed how close we were and I didn't want to allow myself to dwell too much on the thought. Somewhere in the deepest corner of my heart. I knew that he was right. I was certain in the deepest corner of my heart that he was right. I felt my stomach clench with disappointment when he walked away from me and headed over to the other side of his desk. “Come and take a look at this,” he said and I hesitated and walked over to where he stood on the desk. I watched as he arranged papers on the desk. I headed over to him and tensed as he stood beside me. “I
SIENNAAs I led the way back to the room. I hoped with everything within me that I wasn't going to encounter anyone. It was late, early in the morning per se and it didn't exactly help matters that Clara's room was exactly opposite mine. I turned around and narrowed my eyes on him, sending a quiet message for him to be silent but his eyes glistened with amusement and I could have almost sworn that I saw his eyes coming alive with mischief. I shot him a look and I exhaled when I realized that we didn't encounter anyone on the way to my room. I quickly opened the room door and tilted my head for him to quickly come in and when he did, I quickly shot the door and bolted it for extra caution. If there's anything that I didn't want to do. It was to be caught off guard. I closed my eyes and sighed. “I could have just decided to go home because I know how much of a risk you're taking to keep me here,” he said. “It was too risky to let you go home,” I finally said after the uncomfortable
SIENNAI was very conscious of his hard body against mine, of the warmth that radiated from him as he pulled me closer to him and wrapped his arms around me. The reflection of the moon cast a sort of ethereal glow across the bed, lighting the room up in a sort of magical way. I had changed into my silk nightdress, into something more comfortable for the night. I was still in shock, for making the most stupid decision that I could ever make in my entire existence. Despite telling myself that I wanted nothing to do with Sylvester. Here he was, on my bed with me and here I was, basking in the warmth of his hands, in the taste of his tongue. I didn't even try to stop him as his hands ran across my body. My hands took the liberty of exploring his as well and all I wanted to do was touch and touch until my hands were content. Which I doubted that they would ever be. I closed my eyes and smiled as he pressed a tiny kiss against my forehead. My heart clenched slightly when I remembered th
SIENNAMy heart clenched. Things were back to being awkward between us. Sneaking out of my room had put me on edge but fortunately, it would seem that I was lucky because no one encountered the both of us leaving my bedroom. He had driven home to freshen up and rest and a part of me couldn't help but think that he was driving home to Tamara. Tamara. Her name still made me rush with anger anytime I thought about her smirk, about how she had flashed me a taunting smile the last time that I saw her. Her name left a bitter taste in my mouth and I was barely able to stop myself from thinking about her. She was still a big elephant in the room. She was the unspoken problem that held Sylvester and I apart. None of us had the courage to talk about her yet. My skin became hot with heat when I remembered what happened last night between Sylvester and I. The thought alone was enough to make my lips go dry. “It seems your attention is elsewhere, Sienna,” my father said dryly. My head snapped to
