Soleil
"W-What?"
My heart feels like it's jumping out of my chest from how hard it was beating. My whole body shivers with something close to a need that I couldn't define.
He inhaled on my neck again, his lips brushing on a spot that made me close my eyes.
"I need your body close to me like this every second you're near." He said, sounding almost like a confession.
I don't understand him at all. Everything he was saying reached something deep inside of me but I couldn't pinpoint which.
It affects me. He affects me.
But this is wrong. This is not supposed to be happening...
"Are you out of your mind--" He cut my whispers with tightening his arm around my waist.
There was no space between us right now. I could feel something hard poking on my butt, pulsating like it's alive.
Fuck, it was his cock. He was rock hard and he let me feel it!
"You're right, I am. You're a distraction I never knew I'll ever have, and now I can't stop myself anymore. I'm more out of my mind when you're far, Soleil. I needed you this close to me."
I couldn't move or even breathe. His lips brushed against my shoulder and neck, a particular spot reserved for the claim of a mate.
Mate.
He was not my mate. Quillon isn't my fated one and we shouldn't be doing this. He shouldn't be doing this and I shouldn't let him.
I struggled out of his hold, trying to break free, but even my werewolf strength doesn't faze his embrace.
He growled, the sound vibrating through me.
"Don't." He warned but I didn't stop struggling.
"You shouldn't be doing this!"
His hard cock rubbed on my butt and though it felt so good, I fought the urge to succumb.
He growled again, this time with a hint of pleasure. He also feels it and I know he does because he started grinding on me.
"You think I chose to?" He chuckled darkly. "I was attracted to you, it's not something I planned head on."
His words don't make sense at all. We're werewolves, our bodies may be hot and raging but we were not slaves to our urges.
Unless...
"Let me go, Quillon. I'm fucking serious, let go!"
He hissed, and I thought he wouldn't listen but slowly his arm around me loosened. I quickly pushed off him, putting a much-needed distance between us before facing him.
His eyes were dark as he looked at my angered pair. His breath was heaving but not as hard as mine.
"You can't force me like that!" I snapped. He straightened his back and I was dwarfed by his height.
"I wasn't forcing you." He said in a calm tone. "I asked for a favor, didn't I?"
"Don't go smart on me, Quillon. You don't even want to let me go."
He huffed, looking away but only for a second.
"You're right, I don't." He admitted and I was taken aback.
This motherf--
"I told you, I needed you close."
"Yeah? Right. Like, that explained anything! Why would you even want me close? You hate me!"
He frowned. "I never said that."
"But you let it show. Have you forgotten the way you try so hard to avoid me? Because I don't! And all these acts and words you're saying right now don't make any sense. At all!"
I was huffing after my monologue and he watched me like he was bemused.
What the actual fuck?
I'm here exploding in anger, and he looked entertained. The nerve!
We remained silent for a beat while I tried to catch my breath.
I watched as his tongue licked his lower lip and I was quickly distracted.
Fuck! That was so fucking hot! How could I still find him so hot even after all of this?
"As I said before, you magnetize me." He took a step forward, slowly, and I was stuck on my feet. "I try to avoid you, yes, but have you ever slipped out of your control?" He stopped a foot away in front of me. "With you, I did. I always lose my control around you; it fucking annoys me. I'm so attracted to you, I had to get away. Every damn time. I tried to stop...whatever this pull is."
I sneered at him. "You're not doing your best trying."
"Right," He nodded. "And I'm done trying." He stepped again and we're a breath away from each other. Again.
I felt suffocated from my fast heartbeat but I didn't break eye contact.
Whatever he says, it's wrong. It's not something normal that I could just understand or agree with.
"Didn't it come to your senses that you might be close to finding your mate? If you're not aware, when you're close to having your own fated one, your sexual urges will drive you crazy. Just like how you are now."
That's what I had been thinking earlier. I'm not his mate; I'm not feeling any bond between us, considering I already reached the mating age.
I am attracted to him, I won't deny that. But if he was being like this towards me, acting like a caveman craving for the warmth of a body, then he must be close to finding his mate.
The thought churned a pain in my chest but I ignored it.
"You think I'm acting like this because of that?" He shook his head and chuckled.
I frowned, squinting my eyes at him.
"That's the most logical explanation for how you're acting towards me."
"Thanks for the analysis but you're wrong."
I arched my brow. "Wrong? You're acting like your dick replaced your head. Don't get me started with your jerking off thinking about me--"
"Who else would I think about--"
"Exactly! We're the only ones in this place and you might be close to having a mate and that's the reason you're sexually attracted to me!"
He grunted, annoyed.
"If that's really my case, then I should feel this way towards any other woman, right? Katerina came by, but I don't feel this towards her." He lowered his head, leveling his eyes with mine. His face was so close but I couldn't move back. I want to, but fuck why I didn't.
I was out for words. I don't know what to say.
He was right. He should have had the same reaction with Kat but he didn't. His eyes were always on me. He only sees me.
This is weird.
Whatever this is that's happening between us was something out of the ordinary.
"I-It doesn't change the fact that your mate is out there a-and you're close to having your mate." I argued.
"Fact," He repeated with a chuckle, like my words weren't making any sense.
I looked at him hard, as if my gaze could throw daggers.
"Its the only explanation for what you're experiencing! You won't know who's your mate, it might be Kat, but it definitely isn't me!"
His eyes narrowed at me, and his jaw was clenched so tightly.
"Kat isn't my mate." He said like he was so sure of it.
I rolled my eyes.
"You sound so sure! You won't know who's fated for you, Quillon. It might not be Kat, but there's a woman out there linked to your wolf. It's why you're acting like this towards me!"
He stepped forward even when there was no more ground to step on and I was forced to move backwards. My eyes widened from how his aura changed, his eyes blazing with annoyance and something dark.
I tried to look behind me, to see if I'll fall into the river or anything I'd be caged into but I couldn't see what's waiting for me.
Quillon continued walking forward, and I, backward. When he lifted his hand and slammed it on something behind me, I realized a tree was waiting for my body to slam into it.
"W-What's gotten into you now--"
"I don't care about any women, you're the one I want."
