RECOMMENDED SONG: " Say You Won't Let Go" By James Arthur
Viona froze in her spot, unable to breathe for a while and tried to reassure his word that it just slipped out from his tongue. Once again Damien murmured in his husky voice,
" VIONA"
This time, she heard it clear and evident. Her heart skipped a bit and stomach tightened invoulantarily. His voice laced with desperate need as if he was scared of letting her go. Her heart started to beat faster more likely a drummer.
His nose traced her bare shoulders sending shivers in her spine and she found it hard to not squirm under his sinful touches. Viona breathed heavily as anticipations started to grow butterflies in her stomachs.
What was he trying to do?
She replied with a breathless sigh,
" I am here! "
Damien's burning figure relaxed a bit and his voice came out intoxicatingly,
" Don't go! "
He spoke with a hint of plead and pulled her closer firmly against his chest. As her back bumped against his shaved chest harshly, a shaky sigh made its way out of her parted lips.
This is wrong! Such proximity could be dangerous!
She didn't want to have his mark painted on her skin. Once she was marked by him, there won't be any turning around. She swallowed those thoughts fearfully and started to make herself reservant as much as possible.
As he kept murmuring about how he didn't want to let her go, Viona decided to speak reassuringly. Without facing him, she replied shortly,
" I won't! "
Lie!
Won't she go after the bond is broken?
She somehow felt guilty for uttering such lucid lie but his recovery was the first priority. As if Damien's dizzy state understood her words, he stopped mumbling and buried himself into her warmth.
When the person behind her stopping muttering anymore illogical words, she breathed in relief. With a bit difficulty, she was able to turn around and faced the sleepy man who seemed like an innocent toddler without worry.
Her eyes suddenly turned moisty and an impulsive thought of touching his cheeks creepted inside her mind. She hesitated but her desire for his chinsled jaw was much stronger.
Her right hand reached for his cheeks,peepered the whole area with sensual touches but Damien had no consciousness of it. Her lips suddenly quivered and she let out a helpless word,
" What will I do if I fall in love with you?"
This question was postponed for the time being. Even though the answer was almost evident, she anticipated.
A long beautiful life with her soulmate? Was she so blessed?
************************
Early in the morning, Birds chirping started to travel inside their bedroom. Having bright sunlight dancing on his face, Damien knitted his brows before fluttering open his dizzy eyes leisurely.
As soon as he was fully awakened, his gaze froze on the sleeping beauty in his arms. Worst of all, she was stark naked and was full of his view.
His head was blank for a certain amount of time. Before he could get himself out, the door was pushed open with Ashley's cracky voice,
" Brother Damien.. have you..."
Ashley's step halted midway and a look of hurt quickly blazed across her eyes. Her dark eyes watched the sleeping beauty sharply as if she was tearing her apart with her eyes.
Did they become so passionate last night?
Ashley wandered and jealousy soon consumed her soul. Viona was jerkily woken up by the woman's shrill voice. She was horrified after glancing around and hid herself under the blanket.
But when her eyes went over Ashley, a thick layer of coldness flashed across her vision. She questioned without holding back her dissatisfaction anymore,
" Miss Ashley, I think that you have forgotten the simple manner of knocking the door before entering inside a couple's bedroom?"
Damien was astounded after hearing out her cold words and glanced back at her cluelessly. Ashley's face grimaced and she barked forgetting about who was around,
" Luna Viona, you should also understand that our Alpha is sick and doesn't have energy to entertain you. Still you shamelessly went over to sleep with him. You should reflect on yourself first rather than teaching me etiquette."
Viona's mouth twitched sarcastically. She didn't expect that Ashley would show off her trueself out of rage unknowingly. Even though Damien was little taken back at the way, Ashley blamed Viona. Since he was unconscious after the attack, he didn't know what happened exactly last night.
Viona tugged the blanket closer to her body and fluttered her long eyelashes stupifiedly. Moment afterwards, she blurted out amusingly,
" So your accusation is that I should inform you whenever I sleep with my mate, Miss Ashley?"
Viona's words made her face grimaced to a lower instinct. Damien couldn't stop himself from frowning harder and interrupted with an irritated voice,
" Ashley, mind your words. You could have just knocked for once before entering in."
Ashley's lips pursued together but couldn't utter anymore words against her Alpha. Swallowing the down the humiliation that Viona brought her, she muttered nervously,
" Alpha...The pack members..They are worried about you and expecting your arrival downstairs."
Damien waved his hands off dismissively,
" I am coming in. Just go! "
Ashley shortly bowed before scurrying away from the spot. Viona's frown deepened behind her retreating back.
Now when the two of them were left alone again, the awkwardness was back again. Damien casted a side glance of her bare body and muttered somehow nervously,
" What were you doing on my bed naked?"
Viona scoffed rolling her eyes,
" What if I say I come over to mate you?"
A surprise glint flashed from his eyes. He smirked dropping his eyes down on her bare neck even though he understood that she was only being sarcastic,
" Is that so?"
Viona freaked out when he roamed his intense eyes on her body. Raising her eyes up, she questioned back with a cheeky smile,
" Why? Are you dissapointed that nothing happened between us?"
Damien's sincere words echoed out without any hint of hesitation,
" What if I say yes? "
