Chapter 4: Are You Sexy?

Chapter four: Are You sexy?

Jasmine

It was already ten o'clock in the morning when I woke up. I was all alone the whole night because he never came back as he said last night that he will be back soon. But why do I care? I carefully shook my head to wash away those thoughts of him. I stood up from the bed and just realized that I didn't bring my stuff with me.

I took a deep breath as I decided to come out of the room to see if I could lighten up my mood. I still felt devastated from what happened yesterday, how my family insisted on me being a replacement mate for a vicious Alpha. Are they not aware that I dislike him? I don't like the virgin hunter Alpha! But then I have no other choice.

As I walked out of the room, I started to wander around the building and I narrowed my eyes all over the house and couldn't stop myself from being amazed. Who would think that I could step into this house because it is one of the most prestigious and expensive houses in the whole city of Lagos. I kept wandering around and my eyes caught something that I couldn't be mistaken for. I saw Romano with my two eyes and a sexy lady passed in my direction and it seemed like they didn't notice me. I crossed my arm and raised one of my eyebrows when Romano looked towards my direction. He even winked at me and it made me boil in anger.

"What the heck!" I murmured as anger filled my heart. How could he bring another woman when he already knew that we are married now? I went back to the room I came out from and decided to take a warm bath so that I could ease the irritation within me. I took a quick bath as soon as I entered the bathroom and I was done in a few minutes. I covered my body with a towel before walking out of the bathroom. I took a deep breath to gather all my strength because for some reason, I felt something was about to happen.

"Don't be so paranoid, Jasmine." I said to myself as I stepped out of the bathroom and I was shocked when the towel slipped down from my body but what shocked me more is when a man suddenly made a sound.

"Woh!" He uttered and when I raised my head, my mouth gasped as I found an unfamiliar face standing in front of me. He immediately looked around from what he just witnessed. My legs trembled in shame as I picked up the towel and covered myself immediately.

"What the hell are you doing, Ashton?" My gaze turned when I heard that voice and I saw Romano glaring daggers at us.

"It wasn't m….my….. intention, Alpha?" The man who was just my nakedness replied.

"Get the hell out of here because you won't like what would happen if I become a demon!" He yelled at his Beta.

My heart skipped as I could feel the immediate reaction when I heard his angry tone. Goodness, I couldn't help but to overthink that what if Romano misunderstood the whole scene. What if he thinks that I brought the man in here. I think I am in big trouble now. Ashton immediately left the room and I slowly lifted my head and our eyes met with each other. His eyes were fierce and I knew that he was mad at me.

"What do you think you are doing, Jasmine Philip?" He asked with his cold tone but why is he so mad at him? It is not that I did something wrong.

"You brought a man here and for all the men, why would it be my Beta?" He asked and that made me look at him angrily.

"Don't irritate me, Romano. You are making up stories, in fact I should be the one to be angry here. Tell me the truth, why did you bring another woman here because I saw both of you with my own eyes!" I shouted as I couldn't stop myself from hissing at him.

He was making me damn angry and I felt I would explode in anger any time soon.

"Oh, you saw that?" He asked, acting like he didn't notice me earlier.

"Yes, and you even wink at me, Romano!" My voice couldn't avoid rising because I was already pissed off and I think he was only pestering me. His lips curved into a smirk which made me even more angry.

"Come on darling, I know that Ashton didn't intentionally come here. He was looking for me and I am just making fun of you." He said, smirking and my crossed arms and eyebrows furrowed while staring him deep into his eyes.

"Don't change the topic here, Romano. Why did you bring another woman when you are already married? Yes, I know I am just your substitute mate but still, you shouldn't do that!" My voice cracked although I couldn't explain and it seemed like tears were about to fall from my eyes. His face became serious as he noticed the sudden change of my mood. He started walking towards me but I stopped him.

"Don't come near me, you heartless Alpha!" Tears have already fallen from my eyes. I was about running to the bathroom when he grabbed me in the waist and immediately slammed me on the wall while his lips pressed to mine. Using my two hands, I tried to block him but he was holding me tightly. He was trying to poke my lips with his tongue, seeking my approval to let him in. My body trembled which made me hold his waist as well to prevent myself from falling to the floor. What the hell was going on with me?

The moment that I closed my eyes, I opened a bit of my mouth and he successfully played with my tongue. I was so tempted with his kiss, he is kissing and I can't even push him away. His lips were surrounded by demons trying to tempt me to respond to it. His lips were still crashing on mine as he carried me my legs up, still pinning me on the wall. Without breaking the kiss, my hands wrapped on his neck while responding to his passionate kiss.

His wet trails of kisses moved down to the sensitive spot of my ear, to my check, to my jaw and even to the corner of my lips and my hands were still on his neck. I can't stop brushing his tiny smooth black hair and it feels so good to smell his fragrant hair. He stopped kissing me and carefully put my legs on the floor but didn't pull away. He rested his forehead on mine while he cradled my face with his massive hands.

"What are you doing to me, Jasmine?" He asked and that made me stare into his ocean blue eyes.

"What did I do you, Alpha Romano? We were just married last night and you really thought that I had forgotten that you brought another woman home?" I asked as I crossed my arms still staring into his eyes and he chuckled.

"Don't expect that because I kissed you means that you are important to me now, Jasmine. Remember, you are just my substitute mate." He said and that made me sigh deeply.

He is right, why do I care by the way? My role in his life is just his substitute mate. I couldn't overpass his dead mate and moreover, I couldn't replace her from his heart.

"Please stop overthinking, Alpha Romano. You should be thankful that I still care about reputation, remember that if the public and your Pack members find out that you keep women aside, they will not consider you as their Alpha anymore." I said and he glared at me like he wanted to eat me like a prey.

He really thought I would allow him to degrade me. Yes, I am just an ordinary girl but I am not weak. I can fight him if that is what he wants. I have sworn to myself that I won't be affected if he keeps bringing women into our home. He can do whatever he wants and I will also do whatever I want.

"Thanks for the kiss, I enjoyed it a lot." He said as he snapped his fingers in front of my face. A deep breath escaped from my mouth while staring at him vanishing from my sight.

"Damn you, Romano!" My voice echoed in the room as I screamed. I do hate myself for being this weak and letting that devil kiss me. I shouldn't have allowed him to do that, I should have pushed him away but I didn't.

Even if I scold myself countless times, I couldn't change the fact that I let that demon kiss me. Even if I cleaned my mouth, his wet trails of kiss remained in my body and in my lips. I wanted to dress up but I forgot that I didn't bring any of my clothing then, so I decided to borrow his shirt. I came out of the room and went to the kitchen to eat my breakfast. I wandered around to see where the right way was through the kitchen. It was hard for me to find but eventually I arrived there. I wanted to go back when I saw Romano and his mistress kissing and I could help but to curse myself. It seems like he forgets that he had a wife now. I was back moving backwards when someone spoke and it almost made me flee.

"Where do you think you are going?" Romano asked as he stopped kissing his mistress and faced me. Our eyes met with each and I grit my teeth. My blood began to boil after seeing his face and his mistress glaring daggers at me.

"Who the hell is she, Romano?" She asked and it made me burst out laughing.

This woman is not aware that he has a wife now, I am very certain that this jerk never told her that.

"Anika, she is my wife." He replied and I looked at him with my surprising reaction because I wasn't expecting him to say that to his mistress.

"This girl is your wife?" She asked as started walking towards me. I crossed my arms and waited for her to come near me.

"She is not sexy." She said and my eyes widened. She flipped her hair as turned back to Romano.

I clenched my fist and my teeth were already gritting. Hearing those words from her were like bomb which explode in front of my face. I couldn't accept the fact that she was telling my face that I am not sexy. It would be better if I strangled her neck.

"You are not sexy, darling." My head lifted when I heard Romana say that. My fist was still clenched and I glared daggers at him.

"What the hell? I am sexy for goodness sake. Would you agree if I show my body to your face?" I said as they made me furious and I can't accept that his mistress would say to my face that I am not sexy.

"Show me what you got, sweetheart." He said as he leaned himself on the wall while his eyes were onto mine. My face turned red as I realized what I just said.

"Damn you, Alpha Romano. You are the worst Alpha I have ever met!" I yelled at him as I walked away from him.

I was about to turn left when a strong hand grabbed my shoulder and pinned me to the wall. My teeth grit when I see his face again and we are just one inch away from each other. I stayed still when he slowly reached my face, making me smell him and that consumed my thoughts and my body. Goodness, this man is making me distracted but I am confident enough that I would never allow myself to fall for his trap.
