11. The Perfect Dress

YILEYNA

I gasped, my cheeks flushing. “I am not!” But before I could push him away, his thumb flicked one of my hardened nipples sending a sharp sizzle of pleasure to my core. “Your mouth can lie, but your body cannot.” He smirked slightly, now looking into my eyes.” Tell me, Yileyna… Do you taunt me on purpose just so I pay attention to you?” “Don’t get so full of yourself. If I wanted you, I’d say so.” I lied, turning my back on him.

Was I that obvious?

My heart and stomach were a mess of nerves. I heard a small breathy chuckle leave his lips, his arm snaking around me, placing his hand firmly on my lower stomach as he pulled me back against him, making a small whimpering gasp escape me.

I could feel his entire body against me, feel the bulge in his pants press against my lower back only adding to the ache in my core… The way his chest felt, rising and falling behind me…

“Then tread carefully… because in the end, don’t forget I am a beast, worse than any other.”

I closed my eyes, unable to reply. His hand ran up my stomach slowly, making me suck it in, my breasts rising and falling heavily. Suddenly he pulled up my top, exposing my injured hip. The cool air against the sore skin made me snap out of my daze just as he stepped away from me.

“You are lucky to have survived.” His voice was emotionless once more as he dropped my top and turned away. I felt as if anger was radiating off him. A tiny part of me wondered if there was any truth in Charlene’s words. Could I deny that I’d love it if someone did care for me like that? I couldn’t deny the attraction I felt towards him, but did he feel the same?

No one came to check up on me after the injury, none of the Gamma females or even the Luna … it seems since Mom and Dad were gone, I was just no one, just another forgotten orphan.

“I… How were you not affected by the Siren’s song?” I asked trying to change the subject. “Who isn’t? I just knew how to keep my sanity.” He tilted his head and I tried not to pay attention to how sexy he looked, that sheen of sweat driving me crazy. “How?” I asked, my gaze dipping to his lips when he licked them. “What? Planning to jump into the ocean again?” He gripped my chin, rubbing his thumb along my lips, sending my heart racing even faster. “She kissed you.” I tensed, my heart thudding as I tugged away.

“D-did you tell the Alpha?”

“That you are more of an ill-omen now than you already were?”

His words cut and I forced a small smile onto my face.

“Yeah I guess, so did you tell him?” “No.”
