Favo Novel
Chapter 15
“It’s about time you came back,” Lucas said, no trace of emotion on his face or his voice. He had just come out of the bathroom shirtless with only black sweatpants on. His stomach was finely lined with muscles and his pecks were also well defined and muscular. God, I was going insane!
“Ah, yeah,” I mumbled, ripping my gaze at his body, mentally slapping myself.
“What did you find out?” he asked heading right into business.
“He thinks your dad killed his dad so he came to seek revenge,” I said awkwardly. It wasn’t really my business even though my dad had a big play in this. I knew he knew that my dad was the killer because he just nodded along with what I said.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
“I guess that’s fair enough for him to live,” Lucas said thinking.
“You weren’t really going to kill him, were you?” I asked nervously. It was sometimes scary to even imagine what Lucas might be thinking.
“That would be the last resort but if he obeys then he’ll be spared,” he said with authority. “Now, about that deal,” he said, coming closer to me. Not now. Not now.
“I’m sorry about your family,” I blurted out, hoping that it would distract him from the deal. It worked because Lucas lost his straight face. He frowned and stepped back, sighing.
“Jace told you I’m guessing?” he said sadly, looking the other way.
“Yeah,” I said quietly. I touched his arms trying to make him meet my eyes but the tingling feeling was overwhelming for the both of us. The shock both made us catch each other’s eyes. His usual stormy grey eyes were now milky and soft. “I’m sorry,” I whispered. He just nodded.
“This still doesn’t let you get away with your deal,” he said, huskily. My heart raced. I wasn’t ready yet. I barely knew him and he was trying to mark me through force.
“Can’t we make another deal?” I asked, backing away towards the door but something made me want to go closer to him, wanted to feel the tingly sensation again. I was in such a mess. One foot took a step forward without my permission and the other foot seemed to listen to me and tried to back away. He seemed to notice my dilemma and he used it against me.
“It’s better for both of us this way,” he said darkly. “You can’t deny that even if you hate me, you still have that urge deep inside of you. Face it, we’re both mated so why not complete what fate has for us?”
He came closer, closing the space between us ridiculously fast. I could feel his breath on my skin as he tilted my chin. My goodness his eyes were so beautiful.
I did feel that pull, the attraction towards him that I couldn’t help. I backed away from his hand that held my chin but my head hit the wall. Before I could react he closed the space between us completely.
That bastard, I thought, feeling his lips into mine. I tried to break it but my body seemed to feel all light and tingly with excitement. It was an internal battle for sure. It seemed my body both wanted to slap him and let go of him but the other side wanted to return the kiss.
Eventually, I lost myself and started to kiss him back. Our bodies mingled and soon he broke off the kiss and trailed down to my jawbone and down my neck. He kissed my neck, his hot breath on my skin and about to bite…
And then it hit me. Was it time? Was it time to finally accept my place and listen to what fate had in store for me?
