He leaned in to kiss me, but | gently put a hand on his chest.

No, you can’t kiss me on the lips yet, not until | officially end thin with David and you with Charlotte,” | said. He looked at me with a crestfallen face.

But-but,” he started to protest, but cut him by kissing his cheek.

A

Really, no. | don’t want to carry any guilt about cheating,” | told him.

Ellis reached out his hands and cradled my face. He placed a lingering kiss on my forehead. It was simple but sent shivers down my spine, and goosebumps appeared on my skin.

He pulled me to him, and he hugged me tightly. We were lost in our emotions.

He let go and stared at me with a faint smile. He placed his forehead on top of mine. | was dazed, lost in him.

“You owe me plenty of kisses,” he said at last. | giggled softly and touched his face,

And | can’t wait to pay up,”

The wheels in my head were working even though | decided to be with Ellis. The fear and doubt was constant. | wanted us to work out and have our happily ever after, but we needed to do it right.

Who Is Vanessa?

Luis

Zeyneb was obviously avoiding me the whole day. | tried talking to her earlier, but her answers were curt and too pleasant as if we didn’t f uck at the gala.

“You must have said something rude to her,’ Loki barked.

He hated that we weren’t close to her especially when she looked like

that.

Zeyneb Carter was insanely beautiful. Her golden skin shone under the bright sun.

‘| didn’t do anything to offend her,’

She was swimming closely with Michael the whole time, and | was dying of jealousy.

| went back to Love and grabbed her elbow.

“Talk to her, ask her what | did,” | said.

Love sighed and glanced over to her kids and ex-boyfriend.

“Luis, ask her yourself. However, this is what you wanted, for her to stay away from you. She’s granting your wish.

Stop being grumpy,” she said in a dismissive tone. | glared at her. | wanted her to stay away from me, but not anymore. | like her now.

“| wanted her to stay away from me, but not anymore!” | hissed. We looked over to Zeyneb. Her hands were over Michael’s shoulders in the pool, and they were giggling,

“Love, do something before | go crazy,” | gritted my teeth. | was never

one to lose my emotions like this. As an elite force, | was trained to have a grasp on my emotions. | couldn’t mess up. If one thing was awry, and | lost my emotions. It could cost an operation and the death of many. That’s why it bugged me that she was making me lose control. | hated and wanted her all at once.

“Michael is just a family friend of the Carters.

Don’t worry about their relationship,” she assured me, but | didn’t feel

secure.

| wanted to get in the pool and drag her from him not without

punching the vermin Michael in the face.

Just talk to her, Luis,” She advises. | went to grab a drink and sit, watching them swim.

She later left the pool and went to the bar. | followed her and stood behind her. Her eyes flickered to my chest and then my eyes. “Want a drink?” she asked.

11

11

Why are you avoiding me?” | asked. She finished making the drink and gulped it. She didn’t look angry at me.

“That was what you wanted, Luis,”

| scoffed. My fingers twitched to touch her smooth skin, but | refrained.

But we were okay at the Charity gala last night. What happened?”

Nothing happened. We had sex, and it was comforting. | decided to

grant you your wish,” she shrugged. She dawned her drink and made another. How much can she drink?

Zeyneb,” My growl forced her to look at me. She pouted,

“Luis, I've been after you for weeks, and you've rejected me. A girl has

her pride,”

| breathed slowly, musking the hurt on my face,” What happened to when you know, you know?”

“|

Gina says cr ap like that to me all the time,”

| knitted my eyebrows in confusion. Who was Gina? Was what she said in bed a lie?

So, you chase me around and make me like you so badly just to leave me with these emotions?”

Her eyes widened after my words. Her legs seemed to move on their own accord.

“You like me?” she asked, smirking.

‘A little,” | murmured.

“You like me,” she gave me a goofy grin that filled me with joy. | missed that. However, her smile vanished.

“Well, too bad you have Vanessa. | think we’d make a cute couple,” she said and walked away. | grabbed her elbow gently and turned her

to me. | was in her space.

“Vanessa?” | tilted my head.

F ucking, Vanessa Pacito! Zey must have seen you kiss her in the lobby of the hotel,’ Loki growled. S hit. Vanessa Pacito was the wife o one of the most notorious criminal organization leaders in our society. | seduced her to get information on her husband. It was my

last mission.

| went to the alpha of my pack, Edward Chasia, a few weeks ago and asked for an indefinite leave as an Elite force. After he discussed it

with the council, they agreed to grant it if | finished the job | was working on. | couldn't tell Zeyneb the truth though. She got out of my grasp, looking at me as she waited for an answer.

Vanessa and | are not in a relationship,” It’s all | could say. | needed to fix this. The only way would be to tell her the truth, but I was sworn to secrecy. | couldn’t break that.

But you f uck her. You went to her just after we f ucked,” she chuckled sarcastically.

“No, she’s just a colleague,”

“Who you kiss deeply and love?” she asked. The witch was killing me

here.

“| like you,” | told her truthfully. | wanted to sway her from the topic, but she wouldn't be swayed.

It means nothing when you have another woman in your life,”

You wanted to go out on a date with me, right? We can do that. |

want to get to know you,” | said, cradling her cheek. It was warm.

11

What about Vanessa?” she asked stubbornly.

Don’t worry about her, Witch,” | crept closer to her, leaning in her face. | could hear the shuddering of her breath at our proximity. M nose was touching hers.

“No. | refuse to be the woman you only come to when you're ho rny, she growled and went back to the pool area. F uck!!!!!
