Seduce

“How do you expect our tiny Alyssa to fight against a hulk like you?” said Benny, which added to his jealousy. He would rip his right hand first. 

He grated, “Why have you kidnapped me?” He took a step closer. Her smell was intoxicating. His mind immediately wandered to the wild white flowers that splashed in the valley, which surrounded his establishment. His gaze traveled to her lips and sent his mind to the gutters. He imagined that wrapped around— 

Alyssa took a step back and Benny took a step closer to her grabbing the spear tightly. 

It was so easy for Tova to pluck this girl from here and carry her all the way to Renada and have her for himself. At this point of time, he was driven by a mad yearning to hold her, feel her, and smell her and simply bury himself in her. He was having trouble keeping his wolf under control. He wanted to roar, his primal instincts clamored to savor this girl. He could feel his fangs sharpening and muscles cording with tension. 

He wanted to claim her right now. What the hell was happening to him? He took another step forward like a hunter. “Gods! Why did you kidnap me?” he asked, scrubbing his chin with his hands, little realizing that his claws had increased. What he meant was that a prey doesn’t catch the hunter.

“Fenris,” she said in a low, calculated voice. “I dinna kidnap ye. I doona mean harm tae ye.” 

Her accent was so Scottish and he loved it. Was she from way up north? Highlands? "If this is not a kidnap, what is it?" And why did she call him Fenris? They thought he was Fenris. So they kidnapped him thinking he was Fenris. This was getting interesting. Suddenly a thought left him feeling worse. Did this girl have interest in his assistant? Now even Fenris was added to his list of getting ripped apart in pieces. 

She continued, “I— I—” she gulped. “In fact I am your biggest fan!” she blurted. Then she fluttered her eyes over that pale face of hers. “I admire you a lot!” 

So it was true. Fenris was dying the moment he saw him!

“But it is the first time you are seeing me?” he asked, feeling like murdering Fenris every minute. How come the boy was so popular with the girls?

“Yes, I am!” she blurted. “But I have heard a lot about you.” 

“You have kidnapped me because you like Fenris?” he stared at her blank look, then added, “Which is me?” 

She nodded vehemently. “Yes!” 

Her eyes became wide and he stared at a thin hazel line that circled the green emeralds. Tova could kiss her eyes for the entire night and never get tired. His gaze fell on her breasts and he could— 

“You see I am a big, perhaps biggest fan of yours, Fenris!” This was going in a better way that she had imagined. Considering the Lykae’s enormous strength, the only option left was to seduce him. And she started doing exactly that. She nibbled her bottom lips and could see his eyes wavering to her lips. She had to take her chances if she had to survive in this world. There was no help from her mother, and her brother made sure of that. Even her younger sisters never ever bothered about her. As for her stepfather… well he was never interested in someone else’s spawn. Overall, it had to be her skills she had to depend upon. “If you can listen to me, I will give you a proposition you would like.”  

Tova stopped in his tracks when the girl nibbled her lips because if he took one step more, he didn’t know what he would end up doing. He crossed his hands across his chest and dug his claws in his flesh to stop his wayward thoughts, to stop his jealousy against the boy standing behind her and to stop the idea of murdering Fenris. “A proposition?” he narrowed his eyes. There was something more than what the eyes met, but he remained quiet. 

To say that Alyssa was getting distracted by his naked, sculpted torso where she could see every chiseled muscle and the way they moved beneath his skin, was an understatement. His brown hair had dried up and the big curls were falling over his forehead. And she was surprised how the color of hair matched his eyes. He was beyond beautiful. He was gorgeous. She wanted to jump at him. The mere thought made her cheeks pink. She smacked herself internally, ‘I am not going there.’ She took a deep breath and said, “Why don’t you take a bath and then I will tell you about my proposition?”

“Why don’t I just leave this place?” he said nonchalantly, though he didn’t want to. ‘Give me something to stay back, girl.’ “Besides, my men are going to find me soon. I give it tops… umm… two days, for them to get here.”

Benny took a step in front of Alyssa and shoved her behind him with his hand. He pointed his spear sternly towards Tova. “Don’t even think that you can escape,” he warned. 

Tova growled. He hated that contact. He scowled at Benny and said, “Don’t make me snap your neck like a twig. Back off!” A rumble had formed in his chest and it made his chest ripple. If he touched her once more, the boy would end up losing a limb or at least a black eye. 

“Benny!” Alyssa stopped him. Then she looked at Tova and said, “Fenris, I need your help.” There she said the truth at last, hoping that he would help her. Of course the seduction process was still underway. So she fluttered her eyelashes too. 

His heart skipped a beat. Sorceress! Tova’s narrowed his eyes, twisted his lips, flexed his neck a bit and reluctantly in an arrogant tone said, “I need a good bath first.” 

“And a good bath ye will get!” Coira said excitedly. As she passed him to arrange him a good bath and clothes and a bed, she said, “You are a fine man, Fenris!” She winked at him again. 

Alyssa’s jaw fell to the floor at the way Coira was openly flirting with him. 

Tova didn’t bother to dispel their doubts about his identity. Fenris it was, until he came to know her true intentions.
