***Bethany’s Pov***The outdoor dining sets with umbrellas, cabanas, and chaise lounges that were set up for the event made the beach colorful and vibrant. “Good morning, darling,” he greeted me but I only raised my brows in response. He still smiled at me as if I had said something nice to him.“Leave,” I told him.“You can’t be so cruel to me this morning, sweetheart,” he complained, but I wasn’t in the mood to be nice to him.“”Can’t you see I am busy right now?” I snapped at him but he just grinned. What’s wrong with him?“Bethany, when did you become so vengeful?”“Vengeful? If you were in my shoes, would you still smile at me as soon you wake up?”“Don’t worry, darling. I will make it up later,” he whispered but I just snorted at him.“Whatever,” I told him but when he suddenly embraced me, I lost.“Come on, don’t be such a baby, and smile! Jillian is looking this way, come on, smile darling!” “I was horny and you just kept on sleeping last night!” I complained and although it
***Bethany’s Pov***I averted my gaze because I felt naked in front of his eyes, but Jacob caressed my face and compelled me to look at him. For a brief moment, our gazes were locked, and no one dared to look away. Standing outside his room was inconvenient, so I wish he would move sooner. When he snatched me and dragged me into his room, I gasped for air. I didn't care that there were no words to describe the intensity of our need, whether sexual or emotional. In my heart, I yearned for him."Would you mind telling me what you want, my dear wife?"Jacob inquired about my desires, but I was at a loss for words. I was baffled! I didn't know what I was looking for except for him to touch, embrace, or kiss me. Without thinking, I threw myself at Jacob. I was taken aback by his sudden attack with his mouth, and my eyes widened as I realized I liked the way he conquered me with his lips. My knees started to wobble, and I had no choice but to grab his hand for support.I grumbled inwardly,
It has been a traditional practice in our pack, The Lunar Furs, that all women upon reaching the age of eighteen must undergo a physical examination. I just turned eighteen so I was required to be examined. While other girls my age were excited about it, I was nervous as hell! My father, Roger, would probably become furious as a mad man if he would discover the truth! “Let’s go, Bethany!” His voice startled me, and my eyes widened upon seeing him standing in front of me. He was the alpha of our pack, and I was supposed to inherit everything from him. However, something terrible happened that night, and I couldn’t tell him about it. Well, not yet! “Father, I can manage, really, I will be fine…alone,” I tried to sweet-talk my father who wanted to accompany me to the clinic. “There will be a lot of girls there, so I will be fine. Besides, who would dare to hurt me? I am your daughter,” I claimed proudly but Roger Middleton seemed to be not convinced. “Exactly. I am your father, so le
“Examine my what? Seriously? I thought that the urine test will be enough!” I complained because it would be embarrassing to spread my legs in front of her, regardless if she was a doctor or not.“There are other issues that must be checked thoroughly, and it can only be accomplished if you will follow my instructions, Miss Middleton. Don’t worry, it’s quick,” she assured.A loud intake of my breath could be heard, and the doctor smiled. Since I didn’t want to cause a scene, I followed her instructions and pulled down my underwear before going to the gatch bed. “How long can we have the results?”“After an hour,” she replied.While laying down on the gatch bed, spreading my legs and without any underwear, I felt so exposed. At the same time, I was so worried. When I heard the doctor approaching, I closed my eyes. Even when she was wearing a glove, I could feel her fingers touching me down there, and examining it like a rare kind of specimen.“Done,” she said after a few minutes.I imm
(flashback) When the door opened and he entered, I took a deep breath and pressed the button to go down to the seventh floor. When I saw him again, my eyes widened in surprise. I should have done it sooner, but flirting with a man was easier said than done! I may have a few bottles of liquor but I was focused on my goal; to test my charms with a man I saw earlier. His name was Jacob Summers, and he has been my long-time crush since I was young. Unfortunately, he has a bad reputation. He’s a womanizer who loved to sleep with several women. As a woman with strong confidence, I had this dream of taming the playboy from the Dark Furs. Earlier, I noticed how many times he stole a glance at me, and he was so cute at that moment. I knew that it was a risky thing to do, but for once, I wanted to do something exciting! Anyway, my father was busy doing a conference with various leaders of other packs. It’s for the peace agreement, but I insisted on going with you to the hotel. I lied about cr
(FLASHBACK)He was speechless for a moment and just stared at me. Then he asked, "Would you like to do it with me right now? Are you sure?"When he asked, I had the option of withdrawing or revising my statement. To be honest, he didn't look like the person I'd met at the bar earlier, and he acted differently. Besides, he didn’t give justice to his reputation!Earlier, the man at the bar had been flirting with me, which was why my friends thought we'd get a room right away. Was he grumpy because I played hard when we were at the bar? "I regret playing hard to get with you, Jacob," I said as I tried to undress one by one, and his eyes widened in disbelief. I undressed without hesitation in front of him."Wait," he said, motioning with his palm to stop what I was doing, and I arched my brows in response."I don't mind having casual sex, but you're a stranger, and you could be infected," he said, and my jaw dropped in surprise."One-night stands are for strangers," I told him, and he chu
The smell of disinfectant was too strong but I couldn’t complain. Only Saint Anthony’s Hospital has the most affordable rate for someone like me. I could barely pay the bills but I saved enough for my childbirth. Several expectant mothers like me experienced the same pain of labour, but the only difference was, that they had someone to pat their back while I had nobody.I was alone!Then, a sickening pain shot through my stomach, and I wrapped my arms tightly around it. It was all I could do so that I wouldn’t collapse and wither on the floor. My stomach hurts, and my back hurts. I winced in pain while I tried to massage my back. It was challenging, and my clothes were already drenched in sweat.Then, it was gone, and I was relieved!However, a few seconds later, I could feel a dull ache on my back and lower abdomen, and it was like I was having the worst menstrual cramps. I wanted to scream in pain, but I chose not to. Panic gradually took over for a brief moment, and I believed that
“And if I leave today?” I considered leaving the hospital despite feeling sore all over my body.“No additional cost, but it’s not advisable for you to be discharged from the hospital right now. You have to stay here for a couple of days to recuperate,” the nurse insisted.“I want to. Who wouldn’t? However I have no money right now, and whatever I have left is for my daughter’s milk,” I explained, and the nurse tightened her lips.“I’m sorry, Miss Bethany. I wish there is something I can do right now but I’m also tight on cash,” she said.“It’s alright. Can you help me get discharged right away? I will just pack up my things,” I told her, and the nurse nodded.As soon as the nurse was gone, the other women in the ward looked at me with compassion. They felt bad for me, but they were not in a position to help. We were all struggling with our finances, and that’s the reason why we chose Saint Anthony.I smiled at them while trying to move comfortably, and a few minutes later, I was read
