Chapter 6

SOFIA'S POV

“What's the problem sir? Have I done something wrong?” Mike asked, confused.

I was curious as well, if not more curious than he was.

“Perhaps if you weren't blind, then you would realize that my Lady is standing right beside me, and deserve to be respected as well.”

I grinned within myself, pride engulfing me. “Can you imagine the level of disrespect?”

One glance at Mike and I could see the embarrassment flushed on his face. The joy it gave me, nothing could compare.

Mike bit hard at his lower lips. “I'm sorry sir. I meant no disrespect.”

“My lady, is sorry enough for the disrespect caused to you?”

I chuckled. “No, it's not. A proper greeting would suffice.”

Dane snapped his fingers dramatically. “You heard her right? Greet.”

By this time, almost half of the people gathered, had their gazes fixed on us.

Mike stare was hard and could have bore into my skin if it was possible. I could feel the rage burning deep inside of him.

“Good morning Sophia,” the words traced from his lips.

Dane scoffed. “Excuse me? Sophia? She's ma'am Sofia to you. Now you would greet her again with the right prefix.”

Mike clenched his hands into fist. He had blood shot eyes that show vividly the pain in him.

“Good morning ma'am Sofia.”

“That's better.” Dane paused, his gaze fixed on me. “Come with me darling. I want you to meet some people.”

Dane dragged me off, smiling with every step he took. I followed obediently, thrilled and satisfied.

If only Mike knew what I had in plan for him, then it wouldn't waste time before coming to bow before me. With Dane on my side, I was going to make Dane pay for every wrong deed he has ever committed against me.

That was a promise.

By the time we were done at the party, I was completely exhausted and weak. I had enjoyed every moment we spent there, And now, All I wanted was to rest.

Dane held my hand in his. “Let's go. You need to get enough rest. Early tomorrow, we'll set out for my pack.”

I shuddered a bit, anxious. I had no idea what his pack looked like. This was going to be a new start for me, and I couldn't help but worry about it.

We sat in the car after which the driver began the drive home. It didn't take long before I fell asleep, quickly resting my head on Dane's shoulder.

“Sofia,” he nudged me gently on the shoulder, jolting me back to reality. I stared around, a bit frightened.

“We're home already..”

I sighed in relief as I walked out of the car. “Watch your steps..” He warned when he noticed I was still sleepy, but it was too late.

I fell heavily on my face, a loud thud accompanying me.

“Sofia, are you alright?” Dane rushed forward, quickly helping me to my feet. I groaned in pain, my entire body aching from the fall.

“I'm alright. Thank you.”

“Oh please. You don't look like one who's alright.” He swept me off my feet before I could utter another word.

I was going to protest, but somehow, I kept mute, allowing myself to bask in the feel of his arms.

Hard, yet tender. It gave my skin a tingle feel, one I had never known in a while. I found it weird, immediately scolding myself.

I couldn't afford to feel that way, at least not yet.

“Why are you so quiet?” Dane inquired, disrupting my thoughts. We were in my room already and he was about to drop me on the bed.

“Quiet?” I was going to deny it, but seeing the expression on his face, I just couldn't.

“Yes. You do not look your usual self. Is anything the problem?”

I shook my head vehemently. “Of course not. I'm just tired.”

“Are you sure?” He asked, unconvinced. I nodded, my gaze fixed on him. Silence fell upon the room for a while, the ticking of the clock the only sound to be heard.

My heart beat doubled, and for a second, I thought it was going to explode from my chest.

Dane moved closer until there was only a few inches between us. “Are you sure you are alright?” His voice was barely above a whisper.

Tension built between us, and I could feel his breath all over me. Without warning, he placed his hand on my thigh.

I shuddered, a surge of excitement sizzling through me.

“Has anyone told you you're so pretty?” The question came out of the blue. I blushed against my wish as my gaze remained on him.

“What.. what are you talking about?”

He gasped, moving even closer. “You look so mesmerizing. I can't get my eyes off you no matter how hard I try.”

I was speechless. What could I have said? Staring was all I could do.

Somehow, he interpreted my silence into something else, quickly moving his hands deeper into my thighs.

I gasped, my eyes slowly shutting. Those hands — they carefully kneaded my skin until I was completely lost.

“Dane, what.. what are you doing?” I asked softly even though I knew already. He winked, his dark sexy eyes on me.

“What does it look like?” He winked, his hands moving slowly until it was on my boobs.

A moan escaped from my lips. “We shouldn't be doing this, at least not now.”

He grinned, ignoring my words. Deep down I knew I wanted him, if not more than he did.

The feel of his hands as it caressed my boobs was heavenly. I wanted more of him. No, I wanted every inch of him.

Perhaps, he could read my mind. He dragged my boobs with both hands, pressing hard against them.

“Dane.. Oh Dane..”

“Yes, call my name. Louder.”

I groaned, biting hard at my lips. I was scared — scared others could hear my voice.

But.. “Tell me. Do you like it?”

“Yes.. Yes I do..” I couldn't lie to myself even though I wanted to, talkless of him.

Suddenly, he learned forward, his lips resting against mine. I shuddered, basking myself in the feel of him.

“Are you sure you want this?”

“Yess.. I want it. I want you, Dane..”
