Chapter 27 Unlike him
ARLENE
The anger in me vanished the moment his lips trapped mine. When I should have pushed him away, I wrapped my hands around his neck and deepened the kiss.
A moan escaped my mouth as he bit my lips softly and grazed his fingertips over the side of my left breast.
My heartbeat increased, and I felt my wolf become alive again the moment his scent blended with mine and filled the room.
I gripped him tight, daring not to let go even for a second.
This could be the only chance I would get, and I needed to take hold of it.
Miles broke the kiss and cupped my cheeks, staring into my eyes with eyes full of desire.
Something I had never seen in his eyes before.
My breath was raspy and almost lost as I stared into those eyes while trying to understand what was going on in his head.
Was he going to make love to me? With desire and true love? Was he finally letting his wolf take control?
These questions filled my head as I stared back at him, torn between excitement and worry.
He pressed his forehead against mine and sighed loudly, running his hand over my neckline.
“Hey, he didn't hurt you, did he?" He asked, and a knot formed in my throat.
"Hurt me?” I whispered and quickly shook my head.
He sighed and pulled away, his lower lip slipping into his mouth as he stared at me.
His eyes caressed my body and caused goosebumps to spread over my body.
This was unlike him.
He began to take steps closer to me while I fidgeted and waited for his next action.
Before I could blink, he grabbed me by the waist and pressed his body against mine, then captured my lips in an intense kiss that left me going wild and numb again.
He rolled his tongue around mine and bit my lips while forcing moans out of my trembling lips.
His hand slid into my dress and found its way through my panties to my clit.
My breath hitched, and my nails sank into his shoulders when his fingers grazed over my cunt.
I moaned and bit his lips, earning a sharp gasp from him.
His fingers rubbed my cunt slowly at first before increasing their pace over it. I groaned and moaned, then broke the kiss to catch my breath.
My head drew back, and my lips parted as his fingers worked their way over my cunt.
I wanted more and didn't care about what the outcome would be. His hands over my body, his kisses trailing down my skin, and those eyes staring at me with so much passion in them were things I had never imagined with him.
He didn't push me straight to bed and yanked my clothes off me. He kissed me by himself and made me feel chills. For once since our marriage, Miles made me feel loved and desired.
Despite the waves rocking my body and the ecstasy I was in, a little voice in my head was still haunting me.
Why wasn't this right? I needed this, right?
“No, you deserve respect!" The voice snapped back.
I didn't know what came over me as I grabbed Miles's shoulder and pushed him.
He didn't budge or stop sucking on my neck. Neither did he stop thrusting his finger in and out of my pussy.
“Miles, stop!" I growled and, with every strength left in my body, I pulled him away from me.
His brows raised in question.
“Who is she?" I blurted out.
The confusion on his face cleared, and anger flashed across his eyes.
“Is that why you stopped me?" He spat in annoyance.
“Yes, I need to know who that lady you left me for is!" I snapped, stomping my feet on the ground.
His lips twitched up, and he let out a mocking chuckle, then wiped his lips with the back of his hand.
My heart ached, but I tried to calm myself and not show how hurt I was by that.
“You forgot I never chose you in the first place. You were the one who has been all over the whole time. Now you want to pin your sins on me like you did to your dead sister?" He growled.
It seemed like the earth stopped for a moment when his words hit the walls of my room.
Every happiness I had in the last few minutes disappeared, and rage set in.
“Don't you dare talk about my sister and me like that?" I growled loudly as I rushed towards him.
I grabbed his collar before he could move and pushed him to the wall, glaring hard at him.
“If you hadn't come that night, I wouldn't have found out you were my mate and that stupid deal we made–”
"Enough!” He spat.
I chuckled, tilting my head to the side.
"Enough? You ruined my life and that of my sister…” I paused and gripped his collar tighter, applying pressure on his neck.
"And you dare to act like the victim? I have allowed you to treat me the way you want for years. I dress the way your family wants, eat what they present, sit when I'm asked to, lie down and pull legs open like some sex slave when you need it, and you still dare to say that to me?” I laughed and ground my teeth.
"My brothers will crush you to pieces if they find out you treat me worse than a slave,” I threatened.
His lips stretched into a smile, and he chuckled.
"Alright, go ahead and tell them. It's not like there's anything more you can do aside from crying to them. Go on, tell them everything, tell them of how we betrayed Adriana, go on, crybaby,” he muttered, and my chest tightened.
"Bastard!” I cursed, trying so hard to stop the tears gathered in my eyes from falling out.
“Just quit it already," he said, his hand gripped around my wrist.
Before I could understand what he wanted to do, he jerked me away from him and caged my hands, then dragged me down to the bed.
I gasped as my face hit the soft bed, my wrist still trapped in his tight grip.
He leaned on my body, his bulge pressed against my ass.
I struggled, but no matter how much I did, it yielded nothing.
I wish I were as strong as Adriana. I wouldn't have to endure this.
“Look here, mate, you have two options now. Go against me and lose it all, or… keep being a good wife,” he whispered as he swept my hair to the side and kissed my neck.
I shuddered, not in delight, but in disgust.
His hand ran down my back and gripped my waist so tight that I winced.
“I would have made you scream till you lose your voice tonight, but I have better things to worry about…” he paused and bit my earlobe. "Like the woman.”
Pain swept through my body, and my heart burned in rage and jealousy.
He let go of me, and a gasp escaped my lips.
He laughed sinisterly and slapped my ass cheeks before trudging out of the room.
The moment the doors slammed shut, I dropped down to the ground and let the tears drop as much as they wanted.
I knew this would happen when I chose the path of revenge. I would have to lose everything, and that included myself.
“Miles, I'm going to choose the first, I'm going to go against you," I whispered as I stared at the closed door.
I had nothing to lose anyway. And if I had to suffer for my sins, then everyone else had to suffer as well.
I had to do everything in my power to bring down the root of all these misunderstandings, even if it meant losing Miles forever.
