I nipped at her bottom lip before pulling away slightly. Her hooded eyes were filled with lust; her lips swollen from my kiss and her cheeks flushed from her orgasm.<\/p>\n
She was beautiful.<\/p>\n
The thought was like cold water being dumped on my face and I quickly pulled away from her. She was still in a daze when I stood up to gain distance between us. My heart was beating rapidly against my chest and my wolf had the instinct to pull forward and return to her, but I pulled him back with all the force I had within<\/p>\n
me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have to go,\u201d I told her. \u201cYou should get some sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n
She blinked a few times, coming out of her daze.<\/p>\n
\u201cWait what?\u201d She asked, her mind finally catching up to the present moment. \u201cYou\u2019re leaving?\u201d<\/p>\n
I nodded; as much as I didn\u2019t want to leave, I needed the space from her because she was making me feel things I wasn\u2019t prepared for. Things I hadn\u2019t felt in a long time, and I needed to clear my head from these thoughts.<\/p>\n
I adjusted my shirt, avoiding her eyes. I kept my expression stoic and businesslike<\/p>\n
as if I had just finished an important meeting. I knew she was confused, and I<\/p>\n
knew she was upset, but I couldn\u2019t bring myself to address it.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll be at the Villa at 6 tomorrow, correct?\u201d I asked, referring to her normal scheduled tutoring session with Matthew.<\/p>\n
She nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d she said softly, the disappointment evident in her tone.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll see you then,\u201d he told her before I turned towards the door. As I reached the doorway, I paused. \u201cJudy?\u201d<\/p>\n
I waited until her attention on was me before I continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was serious earlier; don\u2019t let me catch him here again.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, I turned and left the mansion.<\/p>\n
The entire next day, I couldn\u2019t concentrate on any of my work. I thought gaining this space from Judy would be beneficial; I thought I\u2019d be able to clear my head and forget about the feelings I felt last night. But I was proved wrong; in fact, they seemed to be getting stronger.<\/p>\n
I ran my fingers through my hair as I sat at my desk chair.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou seem lost in thought,\u201d Beta Taylor said as he stepped into my office. He made himself at home and sat in the chair in front of my desk. He was the only one I would allow to do that without reprimanding. \u201cI\u2019m assuming it has to do with<\/p>\n
a certain Merryweather that was in your mansion last night?\u201d<\/p>\n
Taylor was the one who alerted me<\/p>\n
that Lukas Merryweather was at my mansion, so he already knew I wasn\u2019t pleased by that fact. He also knew my complicated sexual relationship with Judy, so there wasn\u2019t much for me to hide from him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was hugging her,\u201d I muttered, leaning back in my desk chair, rubbing the bridge of my nose like I was getting a headache. \u201cCan you believe that? A Merryweather\u2026 touching her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even I could hear the jealousy in my tone, and I hated it.<\/p>\n
It made Taylor laugh as he shook his head.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m saying this as your friend and not your Beta\u2026 Man, you are whipped,\u201d he grinned.noveldrama<\/p>\n
I rolled my eyes and then narrowed them at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not whipped,\u201d I muttered. \u201cI just don\u2019t like the scent of other men on someone I\u2019m sleeping with. Especially not someone with Lycan blood.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhatever helps you sleep at night,\u201d Taylor said with a chuckle. \u201cAnd considering you have dark circles under your eyes, I doubt you\u2019re getting much sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI made sure he doesn\u2019t return and if he doesn\u2019t\u2026 I\u2019ll kill him,\u201d I said in a threatening tone.<\/p>\n
Taylor nodded and watched me carefully for a moment before saying, \u201cAre you sure it\u2019s only because he\u2019s a Merryweather and not because he\u2019s a guy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you talking about?\u201d<\/p>\n
Taylor smirked as he leaned forward in his seat.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou walked in on them hugging,\u201d Taylor reminded me of the very thing I told him earlier in the day. \u201cIt wasz an innocent hug goodbye, and flippedout. Are you sure you wouldn\u2019t have done that if he was just anyone?\u201d<\/p>\n
velou<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s not just anyone\u2026 he\u2019s a Merryweather,\u201d I murmured.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, but have you ever considered you were jealous because he wasn\u2019t you.\u201d<\/p>\n
I low growl escaped my throat as I glared at Taylor.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you saying?\u201d I asked him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow do you know you don\u2019t have genuine feelings for Judy?\u201d Taylor asked. \u201cHow<\/p>\n
do you know that your little Lycan heart isn\u2019t simply\u2026 falling in love?\u201d<\/p>\n
