Chapter 03

CALEB

After I spoke those words, she came at me with the candlestick, only for me to grab her hands and pin her against the wall.

"What do you think you're..." she started to say as she struggled, attempting to free herself, "you son of a..."

"Watch your mouth," I said with clear mockery, "such a pretty face shouldn't be stained with such ugly words."

"Go to hell!" She said with so much anger that her eyes seemed to burn with fire, "When I get out of here..."

The brunette began to wriggle more and more after saying that, trying to escape aggressively, even brutally. And that only made me more interested in her, even more excited — and that only got worse when I got close to her neck.

"You should behave more like a concubine, you know? Want your people to be extinct?" I ended up provoking, my lips full of malice, "Or do you prefer me to tame you, huh? I can make you my little pet."

"Fuck you! A pet? I'd rather die!" She started trying to kick me, bite me, "I'd rather die than be tamed by you! And as for my people, I'm going to kill you before you have a chance to do anything to my village!"

Even with threats, her eyes still shone.

They shone like freshly lit fire and also like the morning sun.

And the more she resisted being in my arms, the more I wanted to have her in them, to make her yield and surrender completely.

And even though I knew her mouth was moving and she was saying something, I wanted to see how far I could irritate her and how far that defiance would go.

So... I sealed my lips to hers.

And as I did so, I left no room for her to escape or even break away from the kiss, which was growing more intense, and hotter.

"You're insane!" She exclaimed as she turned her face, and our lips parted, "What do you think you're doing? Sick!"

That had been the first time I had kissed a human, — and to my utter dismay — I liked it.

And that made me angry at myself.

I wasn't supposed to have liked that! Not when I despised humans, and even less so when I made those pathetic, weak creatures my slaves!

It had started just to annoy this little human, but in the end, I was the one who paid the price.

But even as anger rose within me, curiosity was spreading too, which made me throw that human onto the bed, to see how far this "liking" would go.

When she showed signs of wanting to escape and leave, I positioned myself on top of her, the light entering through the hatch shining directly in my face, which seemed to have made her stare at me for a few seconds, completely without reaction.

Which made me take advantage of that moment to kiss her again, this time slowly, to make sure of what I felt.

"Damn it!" I thought as it continued because, in the end, the sensation remained the same — if not more intense.

My chest had warmed up, and my heartbeat was racing like that of any foolish boy.

I felt pathetic, I had to admit, but the fact that she was intriguing made me ignore all of that.

And as I pulled away from her again, my lips remained on her neck so I could catch my breath, only to feel her body arch.

'So sensitive...' I thought, a malicious smile taking over my lips.

She was a virgin.

And just as that thought came, I let go of her hands that I had restrained again to keep her from escaping, and began to run them over that woman's body...

LIANNA

His hands moved over my body with a confident touch, igniting a cascade of sensations that I struggled to comprehend. Each caress sent shivers down my spine, awakening a desire that I had never known before. It was as if he knew exactly how to play my body like an instrument, coaxing out responses I didn't know I was capable of. The pleasure was undeniable, each touch leaving an indelible mark on my senses.

As his fingers traced the curves of my form, a rush of longing overcame me. I yearned for more of his touch, aching to feel his warmth enveloping me completely. In that moment, I longed to succumb to the allure of his embrace, to lose myself in the sensation of his closeness. The conflict within me raged on, my mind battling against the overwhelming desire that threatened to consume my every thought.

'No, no, no...' I silently pleaded with myself, attempting to resist the intoxicating pull he had over me. Despite the turmoil, I found myself teetering on the edge of surrender, torn between the forbidden yearning and my sense of duty.

He was the bastard who wanted to destroy my village!

But just as I was having an internal struggle and almost favoring my body's side... someone knocked on the door.

Which made that black-haired being rise in complete anger, to see what those knocks were about. So much so that without even saying anything to me, he just slammed the door shut when he left, as if somehow, I was also to blame for his anger.

'Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!' I thought as he finally left the room, my hands going to my hair as I practically curled up in a fetal position, 'what was I going to do? WHAT WAS I GOING TO LET HIM DO????'

I must be going crazy, I thought about giving in to him! Something wrong must be happening to me, maybe... drugs or... I don't know! But obviously, I wasn't in my right mind.

"I almost betrayed them..." I ended up saying later, and me being aware or not... wouldn't change that.

I had very nearly... almost betrayed my people and the people I loved.

And that caused tears and more tears to fall from my face to the point where I could feel my whole face getting soaked, along with the sleeves of my blouse, — which I was using to wipe my cheeks.

I couldn't have done that, and I couldn't have given in so easily, especially to cheap touches like those of that mutt!

"I should have been more careful..." I said as my hands squeezed my arms, "I can't let this happen again, I really can't..."

I tried to repeat it several times until it got into my head and even became a mantra that would pull me out of that wolf's clutches.

I really couldn't let that happen again.

Despite my resolve, the memory of his touch lingered, a bittersweet reminder that I still felt his fingers.
