Locking Her Up
This girl wants to kill me!
Tell you! Parading in front of everyone’s eyes in three pieces of cloth she calls a bikini is beyond words. Even my wolf protested the sight of our naked mate in public. Mercedes and Zane are standing next to us, grinning broadly. My reaction doesn’t seem like a shock to them.
“What do you think you are doing, Saphira?” I respond furiously, with my hands at my sides. “If you need attention, ask me. But don’t try to lure other men with this thing you call a bikini.” To my surprise, I see a satisfied look in Saphira’s eyes. Did she intentionally provoke my reaction? “I hope you’ve brought enough clothes with you now that you’ve generously given your sweater to me,” responds laconically. “It probably won’t be functional when I’m done with it.” With that, she turns and walks towards the lake.
I look at her with gritted teeth. Her mood has completely turned, what is she up to now? I turn my eyes back to Zane and his mate. “What does she think she will achieve with her behavior? She has to make up her mind. I gave her a week to get back to Midnight Moon. If I don’t see her, it means our union no longer exists,” I tell the couple in front of me. “I swear I’ll take a mistress for the rest of my life. No more hassle for me. It hurts too bad if a mate comes with emotional baggage”.
Strangely enough, the two are silent, limiting themselves to looking at each other meaningfully. They probably don’t really believe a word I say. While they run to the waterline, I stay behind in the hut. My eyes drift to my mate, preparing to enter the water. She wades toward a group of youngsters playing water polo. Her slender figure, now covered in my shirt, pops out of the water whenever she catches the ball, her big breasts hopping with it. A shot of desire flows through me. That little bikini alone really hit me hard, if she sported it on purpose to get my attention, she definitely succeeded.
As I stare at her from afar, my thoughts go back to that night we had together. An hour after I took her virginity, she recovered and became a natural vamp. She claimed me as I have never experienced before, driving me to the brink of insanity with pleasure. Confident, she took the initiative, demanding more from me each time, which I gladly delivered to her. I’ve used previous offers from she-wolves outside of the pack to gain experience, but I really regret it now. My mate alone was enough, it was clear to me that I was making love to her, but with my previous bedpartners, it was dry sex for satisfaction.
An hour ago I acted tough towards her, but actually she’s already got me on my knees. I won’t survive a night locked in with her in an apartment, if I want to uphold the ultimatum I gave her to get to my pack, I have to convince Zane to leave today. But when I look at my Alpha and his little Luna, it doesn’t look like my wish will be granted. Mercedes hasn’t even started her beauty treatment yet and I know that could take hours.
Deep sigh. I already know that Saphira got me. But I won’t give in without a fight, my dignity is at stake. She must genuinely regret her actions. As if she senses my gaze on her, she suddenly turns around. Our eyes clash, in hers I now see triumph gleaming. But I hope she sees the determination in mine too. I have to think of something to make her pay for the pain she inflicted on me. And then a plan comes to mind, one that will serve both of us.
I walk down the beach to our vehicle. Luckily Zane gave me the keys so I could carry out my plan without disturbing him. ‘Alpha, I’m going to a shop in the pack. I’ll be back in half an hour’, I tell him in the mind link. ‘Hmm, what’s so urgent that can’t wait? Mercedes and Saphira will soon be spending hours in the salon, then there will be just the two of us, enough time to go shopping’, he asks in surprise. I laugh softly, Zane wouldn’t want to know what I’m up to. Surely it is safe for me to run my affairs on my own.
‘No problems. I’ll be back before you know it,’ I assure him. I look for a map of the pack’s business area and when I find the place to buy the attributes I need, I drive straight there. Fifteen minutes later, I am back in the vehicle on my way to my apartment. I put the purchased items in the bedside drawer and return to the beach. Now I’m the one with a dubious grin on my face. Without a glance at my mate, I walk over to Zane and Mercedes who are building a sandcastle.
Half an hour later, Saphira joins us to walk with Mercedes to the salon.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
I ignore her completely, which seems to bother her a lot. Then I make my way to the bar with Zane. There we chat with some local men who invite us to spend the afternoon in a game pool club. So we leave the resort to relax in a club, get involved in billiards and card games. The members of this pack seem to be experts in the games, but Zane and I don’t give up easily. It’s already late when we call it quits and drive back to the resort to pick up our women.
As we walk toward our girls, I can’t believe my eyes. My mate was already drop-gorgeous. But now she’s a goddess herself. Her ocean green eyes are masterfully accentuated. Her blonde hair is now straight and knotted in an intricate braid above her head. Goshhh, this woman is going to kill me. She looks me straight in the eye, as if she knows what she’s doing to me. “Shall we take our girls to dance, Jace? They are so beautiful, it would be a shame to lock them in the room.”
Sheepishly, I stare at Zane. Did he say, lock her up in the room?…
