James
The next day, I came early. I got out of the car and went to wait at the front door. I bought a dozen yellow roses for her as an apology for my behavior. She came out and slightly jumped when she noticed me. I guess she didn’t expect me to stand there.
- Oh, you are here.
She said surprised.
- Hey! This is for you.
I stretched out my hand towards her. She frowned.
- As an apology for my …outburst.
She looked at me for a while. What was going on in her little head now?
- Okay. I accept your apology.
She said at last and took the flowers. Good.
- Well, then I'll quickly run up and put them in a vase. Then I'm coming.
She added.
- Sure. I'll wait for you in the car.
I replied. She hummed back at me and disappeared behind the door. Should I have gone upstairs with her? I started to consider. Well, next time maybe. I should know which fl
LailaWe were sitting at this pizza place when a flirty blond approached us. James looked away and then shook his head sideways.-For f*ks sake!He mumbles under his breath. It made me wanna laugh out loud, but I held it in. Though somewhere in my mind I wanted to do the same - grunt and puff about another girl of his. Was I jealous? I hope not.When I sensed that he was flirting with me, I got annoyed. Was he for real? This rich prick must be kidding me. Oh boy, I didn’t want to go into this topic. I felt..uncomfortable. I know, I know. I was quite playful with him today. I probably shouldn't have done that. I guess I sent the wrong signals to him. Though inside I still kept my distance. I didn’t want him to think about me in that way. Okay, it was a lie. It was d*mn flattering that a guy like him could be interested in a girl like me. Well, it’s not that there is something wrong with me. I was a cute, nice girl.
JamesThe next day, I was happy to pick her up. - So I found this vegetarian and vegan place nearby. Would you like to check it out?I asked her. I was very proud of myself. I researched yesterday and was surprised about the available options out there.-Sure.She shrugged.-But what will you be eating?She is concerned about me. How sweet. I like to see these little things. Maybe I am exaggerating their meaning. Maybe she is with everyone like this. But it gives me hope that she feels the mate bond.- I’m sure I will find something tasty.I brushed her off.- Well, yeah, but you said you liked meat.She kept on pressing. That was very sweet of her.-Ah, don’t worry, I can skip.I told her. We went to the place. I led her to a more secluded corner. We needed maximum privacy. And hopefully, no b*tch will see me here. After
JamesI picked Laila up at 8 p.m. on Friday. It was very early to hit the club, but I wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. Besides, we would have drinks first anyhow. With fewer people, it would be easier to talk.Because of the rouge mission, we didn't meet for lunch during the day. But I liked that it had become like our ritual. The mission was only partly successful, as we eliminated only one branch but didn't get to the core. We captured a few rouges to interrogate them and get more information about the main base.My thoughts steered back to Laila. I could feel that my mate had got used to me more. She was more relaxed and free around me. Gone was that uptight b*tch as she was last week. In my opinion, that was great progress. Despite our arguing before, my mate didn’t hold any grudge and didn’t cut me off.I believed that Laila had slowly started to grow attached to me. On Thursday she even touched me while
JamesLaila was fast and took 2 steps back while shaking her finger as a “no” sign. The guy smirked but started to dance as if they were friends.This is it! I had to go to her and show everyone that she was mine. I hopped from the stool and in a few long strides, I was in front of her. She smiled at me. I glared at the guy, and he reluctantly left. I created within me the most powerful aura I could muster and allowed it to roll off me. I glared into the eyes of every single male that was looking her way. Though I was not a ranked wolf, I was still the best warrior and I came from the Beta bloodline, so that gave me some power. The wolves submitted and looked away. Some gave a nod in acknowledgment that this girl was off-limits. Humans felt something too and got the hint. Some looked away as well, though still sometimes stole glances her way.-What are you doing?Laila leaned closer to me and asked in a loud voice, tryin
JamesI took her hand and led her to the bar. I made eye contact with the bartender who came to me. I sat on a bar stool.-Do you want some water again?I asked.-No, virgin mojito please.She said out loud so the barman could hear it.-Virgin?I raised my eyebrows with a teasing smirk. She rolled her eyes.-Non-alcoholic!She said in an annoyed tone. I smiled at her.-Why mojito?I asked. I needed to know all her preferences.-It’s refreshing with peppermint and sprite. I need sugar in my system after dancing.She smiled softly.-And by the way, you are a good dancer. I loved it! I’m impressed!She said with approval! Yes! I fist-bumped air in my mind. Her compliments warmed my heart in ways that felt as if I had never received a compliment in my life. It felt better than any praise I have received so far.
JamesWhen she returned to dancing, I didn't follow her. I had exhausted my willpower to control myself. I knew if my body felt more sparks, my self-control would snap and I would devour her without a care in the world. So to have better opportunities with her, I kept my distance from her delicious body on the dance floor.But now? The first time, I sincerely tell the girl how I feel about her and how much I feel for her, and she doesn’t believe me! All the flattery that I used on girls before, always worked smoothly. Those ladies were eagerly catching any word that left my mouth, even if it was a blunt lie. But when I confessed my heart to my mate…No. Nada. Nothing. My mate said I was bullsh*ing her. Her non-stop defiant attitude pissed me off. I am done with her for tonight.-Just come. I’m taking you home.I grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the club towards my car. She didn’t protest and followed me
LailaI woke up the next morning when the sun was brightly shining in my room. I stretched across my bed. And groaned. I felt pain everywhere. My neck, arms, legs, feet, and abdomen were hurting. Oh, maan. I grunted again. But the dancing was nice. I smiled to myself.And then memories of yesterday barged into my mind like a running herd of crazy elephants. The firm grip on my hand when he pulled me through the crowd, his s*xy look, his body pressed against mine, his warm hands touching me, the way he licked my neck and brushed my lips... So many details were engraved in my mind and body. I covered my face with my palms. What the f*ck did I do yesterday? I groaned again. Stupid, stupid, stupid me. I shouldn't have danced with him. I shouldn't have drunk tequila with him. And I definitely shouldn't have hugged or kissed him on the cheek. F*ck. What was I thinking? I have been resisting him all this time and now look at me! Where am I taking this now?
Laila-Stay very still.James commanded slowly. Oh.My.God. My brain stopped working. Time stopped existing. He slowly started to lean toward my face. I know where this is going. He tilted his head slightly. I can’t even say the word in my head. His eyes kept on flickering from my eyes to my lips and back. My heart rate spiked. I saw him slowly get closer to my face and I felt butterflies erupt in my stomach. He seemed unsure. I innerly smirked. This cocky, rich, and super-handsome guy looked afraid. Afraid I would pull away any second. Have I beaten him up this badly that he has got scared of me? Hmm, I didn’t like that thought. I liked brave and dominant guys, not weak. Though he didn’t seem weak. The way he commanded me to stay still sent a shiver down my spine. Wah, just relax. I started to get tired of my own overthinking.I took a breath in and stopped breathing. He was super close to my face now and he parted his li
