The Beta’s Regret

“What? Nooo” I cried but Eros did not come near me.

He finished rolling his sleeves down and buttoned his shirt again while I slowly got up from the car hood.

“We have to go back.” He said while walking towards the driver’s seat.

I was annoyed and frustrated all over again. Why did he have to leave me unsatisfied?

The feel of his lips on mine, my entire body and the way he had licked and sucked my folds was still making my skin tingle. Not to mention the euphoria that had been building up inside of me disappeared in an instant.

I felt a little sore and he had not even done that for hours like last time. And as much as I wanted to pull him close and make him kiss me again, was too annoyed to show him that I wanted him.

uld do

The way he acted aloof and unperturbed after making out with me, I could do the same. At least, I thought I could.

I would not cry in front of him, not now. Thus, I took a few moments to calm down myself and catch my breath.

Meanwhile, Eros opened the car’s door and I realized that he meant every single word of his earlier lines where he said he would punish me.

With a frown, I lowered my dress and adjusted my hair to not look like I had been having the time of my life.

After I thought I looked decent, I slowly walked towards the other side of the car and opened the door. Without a word. I got in the seat and Eros started the ignition.

The silence was weird but I did not feel the

need to fill it like last time. I tried to calin myself down and not feel drawn to him.

His hands gripped the steering wheel a bit too hard as he drove through the muddy road of the little clearing before we hit the tarmac. He was giving off a ‘don’t talk to me right now‘ vibe and I was in no mood to beg. I had begged for his touch and his forgiveness already.

He would pull you close then push you away when you got too close for his comfort.

I was seething in anger and my fists were coiled as I took deep breaths to not take out it all on him. That would only show him that it affected me, that I needed him.

The first rays of dawn were beginning to peek through the horizon and as I peered through the window, I saw the lake shimmer in a golden light.

The scene was breathtaking and I would have screamed in excitement of how surreal it felt to be there if not for the fact that my brain kept replaying the way he had devoured me moments ago. Those hands had roamed all over me, those full lips. had suckled me.

“Stop it” I muttered angrily to keep my thoughts from going back to those moments that had felt like a bliss just a few minutes ago. Now, I wanted to forget them. And I did not realize 1 had said it out loud.

Eros merely raised an eyebrow at that, thinking I was asking him to stop the car. He must have noticed the anger and frustration in my voice but he did not try to talk to me or make any effort whatsoever. He only replied, “Once we are home”

His reply was curt and I did not bother asking him if he wasn’t taking this punishment thing too far.

I mean I had already apologized for trying to run away and for my blatant stupidity for believing that Luke was a nice. person who wanted to help me.

My burtowkd was a little red and I felt I had to sit on a block of ice given the way he had spanked me.

So now, why did he again have to be so curt and aloof all over again? Maybe, he was just broody 24/7.

This man was truly annoying and I knew even if I asked him any questions he would not answer

1. me.

I forced my mind to stop thinking about him and it drifted to the events of the night before. I recalled the way Luke had baited me, the way Theo had spoken and looked at me.

I fidgeted with my fingers as Eros drove the car through the long entryway and parked it in his garage.

There were a few servants cleaning and polishing other cars but I was the least interested in looking at his shiny toys.

I was simply happy to run back to my room and spend some tire alone to sort through my emotions.

Hence, got out of the car without a word and began walking towards the stairs that would lead to my room

However, Eros called out from behind, “Wait”

I stopped and turned back to look at him. And despite not wanting to, my heart skipped a beat on seeing that handsome

face.

Stupid met

I did not bother replying and he only muttered, “Don’t even think about running away next time. I will not be lenient I furrowed my eyebrows wondering what that meant.”

I opened my mouth to ask just that but then closed my mouth and gave him a curt nod. I did not want him to give me more. reason to make fun of me or be amused at my expense.

I did my best expression of being unbothered as he added, “I need to find out more about this rogue King and Vampires that your suitor spoke about.”

For some reason, the way he called Theo suitor irked me.

I snapped, “He is not my suitor”

Eros mused, “Oh right. He is your what then? Your suitor? He seemed to be fascinated by you.”

I did not even

something so stupid.

to think about it as it made me want to puke. Nor did I want to take that bait and argue with him over

“I am tired. I will go get some sleep.” I said and walked away from the arrogant Hybrid King.

Stomping my feet hard. I made my way through the stairs and went up and I heard a soft click of the car door as Eros too began walking towards the mansion.

A soft breeze of wind passed by, carrying his scent and my senses tingled all of a sudden at the way his scent filled my

nostrils

I shook my head and kept walking straight and if I was not r wanted to stab him.
