“I’m looking at you weird?” He stopped a breath inch from my face. I gave a subtle nod to his question and he hummed. “It’s because I’m thinking of you weird, right now.” He placed his hand beside my head, effectively trapping me between him and the elevator. “Can I kiss you?” He asked and my eyes closed. He did not have to ask twice. Immediately, his lips pressed against mine and his tongue probed my slightly parted lips. There was no time for me to catch a breath as his tongue slipped into my mouth. He took his time with the kiss, his tongue exploring my mouth in a slow kiss that carried a definite hunger. It was like he was holding himself back which was unlike him. The Xander I knew was always eager as if he feared missing out on something. Warmth unfurled in my stomach and I snaked my arms around his neck, eliminating the last bit of space between us. He pulled his lips from mine and I gasped, sucking in a sharp breath, having been hyperventilating until then. His wet
“It’s your birthday this weekend,” Xander said as he kissed down my neck, his hand on my stomach. I shivered as he drew circles on my bare stomach.“Y – yeah,” I sighed.I shared the same birthday with my father and he had not stopped begging me to come home to celebrate. “You should clear your schedule for the weekend,” Xander said, his hand moving up, his face still in my neck.“O – Oh.” I shivered as he nibbled on my skin, his fingers circling my nipples. “You should have told me earlier because I already – already planned to go home.”He pulled away so abruptly, I felt like I’d been tossed from a mountaintop. I wanted to weep as he pulled away.“You’re going home?” He asked, almost pouting.Even that small gesture made my stomach tighten. I wrapped my hands around his neck and pulled him into a kiss. Like a viper waiting to strike, he immediately deepened the kiss. He kissed me hard and I had to swallow back a moan.It was a lot. Holding back was a lot but I didn’t know how to let
I wanted to die a hundred and one times. When my gaze met my mother’s, I wanted to die faster.“Shit.”Xander yanked my clothes down since I’d been frozen in time, waiting for the ground to open up and swallow me. When he put me down, I almost fell so he had to grab me and hold onto me.The people gathered around stood with dazed expressions on their faces with my mother in the middle holding a cake and my grandparents holding a happy birthday banner. Even the Alpha was present with a few other older pack members.There was a chance the whole room saw my boobs. I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole but the ground remained firm underneath me.“Ahem,” Xander was the first to break the silence. “Hey guys,” he greeted.It was so awkward that I could not stop myself from pinching his side.“Um, hello.” It was my grandmother who spoke first, her face still devoid of colour.“Xander, quick, come here!” My mother shouted. “Quick!”“Oh - okay.” With the urgency in her voice, he m
I woke up to my family singing the Happy Birthday song. My mother, father, grandparents and even my brother came into my room at noon with smiles on their faces. Ethan had arrived in the opening while I was asleep. “Thanks, guys,” I was all smiles as I blew the candles on my cake. “What did you wish for?” My father asked and I responded with another smile. “I can’t tell you what I wished for or it won’t come true.” In truth, I had not wished for anything. Everything that I had wished for in the past, I now had in front of me. A birthday celebration, a family to celebrate with and a body that worked. Everything was much more than I had even wished for. The only thing I wanted in life, to be able to dream of a future with Xander, was impossible so I wished for nothing. I was happy so I basked in that happiness. When they excused me to get started for the day, I quickly grabbed my phone and called Xander who had left several missed calls on my cell while I slept. “Hello?” H
It was the weekend and we were taking a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of college. I would regret it come Monday but it was Saturday, my birthday, and I was going to enjoy it to the fullest without any academic guilt. Instead of going back home and reviewing my notes as always on the weekend, Xander and I chose to watch a movie.We were cuddled up under the sheets as the movie played. It was a movie I did not know what it was about since Xander pulled me into his arms. All I could think about was how lucky I was to be with him. Even if it was for a day, a day with him was better than no day at all. Even if he belonged to someone else, I could enjoy now that he was mine. Yes, he was mine. I was not stealing or borrowing him. In this moment, he was mine, regardless of the future. In this moment, he chose to be mine so there was no need to feel guilty or apprehensive. I would enjoy this moment for as long as I could and not waste another second thinking of what disaster may
The next morning I woke up to kisses on my face and a warm hand rubbing my thigh. My whole body felt stiff and sensitive as my consciousness returned.“Are you awake?” Xander asked, kissing my collarbone.It was a dangerous question and throughout the night, I had learnt just what it meant.“What will you do if I am awake?” I asked in a tired voice.As expected of a male lead, he did not lack stamina. I thought I kept up well but after the fifth round, I was drained. I got less than three hours of sleep throughout the night and every time he touched me and asked if I was awake, at first, I had been excited to indulge but now, I could not move my heavy body.“Can I kiss you then?” As he asked this, his face was already descending.I pushed his face away, ignoring his pout.“That’s enough.” I turned my head away.It always started with a kiss. A kiss that progressed faster than the speed of light and always, always ended with him inside me. No matter how tempting he was, I had to rest m
“Who are you?”My eyes blinked open in a familiar yet unfamiliar place. It was a room I had never been in before but it felt as if I had been here a hundred times. I must be dreaming.“Who are you?” The voice that woke me asked again so I looked around the familiar-unfamiliar room to find the owner but there was no one with me in the luxuriously decorated room.Also, the voice seemed to come from my head, making me panic.Is this a dream or did I die? Did this room with white walls decorated with abstract paintings, white sheets and a cloud-like bed represent heaven? Did my surgeon fail? The room was unlike the operating room which was the last place I remembered seeing so it was either a dream or the afterlife.“This is not the afterlife and what do you mean by operating room?” The same voice that woke me up asked. It was a beautiful voice that filled my head but the way it echoed like the voice of my subconscious freaked me out.Really, I was in a strange dream. “Who the hell are
It was a dream but when I woke up after seeing that beastly creature, I was still in the dream. This dream had become a nightmare and I wanted out as soon as possible but why did I open my eyes in this white room!? Why was I still in the soft cotton candy bed rather than my hard hospital bed?“Who are you?” The wolf voice in my head asked like a broken record. There was no emotion in the wolf’s tone but I felt its tiredness. Why could I feel what it did not mention? “It is because we are connected. We are one – or we are supposed to be. You are not supposed to be in this body. What did you do with Selene and who are you?”“I – I am Jane,” I said. “Who is Selene? What sort of dream is this?”“This is not a dream. What’s wrong with you? Why did you react like that to your father as if you have never seen a wolf before?” The wolf continued to grill me.“I haven’t,” I responded. “I only see wolves on television and a wolf that belongs in a horror movie, not my dream.”“I know you are not
