Six

Chapter 6

Lucianna’s POV

I was trembling, not with fear, not with excitement, but something different. A feeling I never encountered before I met him, a feeling that is there when he looks at me like this.

Disgust? No. He is not disgusted but there is a faint side of that emotion mixed with something else. I can’t put a word with it.

“Cat got your tongue?” he smirked, crossing his arms in front of his chest and tilted his head a bit. “Go back. I don’t want to see you.” he said in a clenched jaw.

“I-Is there something wrong with me?” I managed to ask, my voice is in its lowest. I think my head is clouded with his scent, and I know its the mate bond talking  but I tried my best to not get swayed by the pull.

Because I feel like jumping on him right now. And if the situation is not like this, I would’ve.

The Alpha just kept on staring at me, making me uneasy but I deny to avoid our eye contact. Even though this is the hardest part I ever encounter with someone. Looking straight in the eyes was never a struggle for me, but my mate’s eyes is just drowning, overwhelming.

It is too much for me to handle.

“I told you, someone will take you to my house.” he said, ignoring my question. So there is something wrong with me for him, huh?

I will never back down, mate! I waited for this moment just to meet you, I won’t cringe just because you said and showed me that you dislike me.

“Why wouldn’t you?”

He raised his brow at me. “Why would I?”

This--!! Okay, calm down. Win him over, Lucianna!

“You’re my mate. Even if I don’t know your name, I am your responsibility now. Isn’t it just right that you take me to my new home?”

“What?” he exclaimed. His brows are furrowed as he frown, questioning. What’s wrong with what I said?

“I’m in your care, Don’t you know about this mate thing-”

“Not that part.” his jaw clenched, and I swear! From the way he look at me right now, it’s like I will be eaten whole!

But what did he say?

Wait, what did I said that made him--Oh!

“Uh, I don’t know your name? Is that it?”

He bit his lower lip while looking at me intensely. Then, he sighed and let go of that lip. Oh God!

The way his lip got wet and red just made me so fucking hot.

“You don’t know me.” he said word by word. Is that wrong, though? We just met today so why is he acting like this?

“Oh! Do you want to introduce ourselves?” maybe he wanted to know me and he wants me to know him, right? “I’m Lucianna.” I said, extending my hand to him for a handshake.

Get it, please. Get it!

“You’re even more disappointing than I thought.” he said with a straight and stern face.

I was confused with what I heard from him but the feeling of being ashamed get to me more. My head bowed and I looked down to the ground, questioning myself.

Why? What did I do wrong to disappoint him?

Like a knife stabbing on my chest, my heart ached.

No, no. I didn’t do anything.

My hand slowly retreated together with my world that seems to be mixed in question and confusion, thoughts that are not helpful at all.

But before my hand fell on my side, he grabbed it! I looked at our hand, our skin touching each other and then I looked up at him with wide eyes.

He shaked my hand!

“Jacob.” he said shortly, giving my hand a tight squeeze. “That’s my name.” then he let go of my hand.

The way our skin touched sent an incredible electricity down to my core that I almost quiver! Damn! Damn, it felt good!

“What else, now? Harley will be here in a few so head back inside.”

I was in a haze and my heart was still in chaos! How can he make me feel unwanted and getting my hopes up again?!

Oh, God! I won’t quit with this mate thing whatever aloofness I see in him!

Jacob… Jacob… His name sounds so handsome! He is handsome!

“You look even more dumb being in a daze like that. Just get out of here.” he said and looked away, ready to turn around but I reached on his arm to stop him.

“Wait!”

He looked at my hand on his arm and slowly met my eyes.

“Let go of me.” he even growled inwardly! I got cringed that I quickly took my hold off of him, grinning awkwardly to hide my embarrassment. Why did I suddenly grabbed on him like that?

“What do you want?” he snapped and his posture didn’t changed from when I stopped him.

“Uh, you owe me an apology and you,” oh, god! Won’t I sound too desperate and in heat with this? “Uh, you owe m-my w-wound a l-lick.” I said, looking away. My fingers are crossed, pinching each other behind me and my heart is beating too loud that I think it moved to my ears!

Fucking----!! There’s no way I’ll be ashamed now! I need to seduce him!

I don’t care what’s going on in his mind, but I’m his mate so he need to do everything he needed, completing the mating process is included to that!

I looked at him and saw his expression was taken aback. His lips are parted and his eyes are slightly wide.

It took him a moment before regaining his composure and cleared his throat. He slowly turn to face me again and I swear my heart is jumping out of my chest as I look away from his intensive gaze. Or was it a glare?

“I owe you?” he said and took a step closer.

My feet moved on its own and took a step back. I was intimidated by his eyes! He didn’t look scary but there’s something in those eyes that screamed danger to me.

I gasped when the cold wall touched my skin through my backless dress. Jacob didn’t stop stepping closer and I my head is tilted up when he hovered over me. I’m cornered!

“I. Don’t owe you. Anything.” he whispered in a rough voice.

I was lost for a moment, drowned by his scent and the warmth of his body. He is so close! And I should have like it but intimidation got me first.

Jump on him! My wolf cheered but I couldn’t, I don’t think I can.

Hey! Get a grip of yourself! The guy called you weak! You know you are not!

Taking a deep breath, I matched the way he looked at me. “You called me weak.”

“’Cause you are.” he breathed. Fuck, why does he sound so sexy?!

“I’m not! You don’t know me yet and I forgive you for judging me because you haven’t got to know-”

“Forgiveness is only for those who asked. And you are weak, no more argument on that part.”

I felt my blood run cold from what he said! He is so rude! Can’t he think properly? Is there something wrong with his head?!

“I told you I’m not--”

My words are cut when he suddenly groaned as if in pain before dipping his head on my neck.

I gasped and my eyes widened when I felt his wet, warm tongue touched the wound of his claim on my neck!

“Ahh~” I could not contain my moans! The way his tongue touched my skin is electrifying, it’s blowing my mind!

Jacob groaned and I felt his hands snaked on my back! Our skin are bare touching each other!

Is this what he meant by despising me? His actions are far from his words!

I felt him suck on my neck, and he is not the claim-wound anymore! He was licking and sucking on the skin just below my ear and it was awesome!

“J-Jacob--”

More! I want more of this! More of him!

The way he touch me, I swear I felt like a gem, something he possess dearly. This is the power of the bond, this is what I wished and I’m having a taste of it!

I was snatched out of my haze when Jacob suddenly stopped, cursing softly before pulling himself away from me.

I smiled upon seeing his expression. He can’t look at me and his face are all red! Oh, my! Is he shy?

Maybe he is a virgin, is that why he kept on pushing me away?

Ohhh, I’m also inexperience but I’m ready to go all out for you, mate!

I sensed someone and looked around. I saw a guy standing in a safe distance. “Alpha Jacob,” he greeted.

I looked at Jacob and found him looking at me with the same intensity he has been eyeing me since earlier.

He sighed and turn to the man who just popped out of nowhere. “You’re late. Take this woman to my house.” he said and turned his back at me.

What? That’s it? No! I’m still after a kiss!

“W-Wait! You should come with me!”

“Don’t push it.” he just said without stopping or looking back to me.

The heck!
