Chapter 11:
/-Skylar’s POV-/
My mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water as I tried not to fumble with my next words. Adonis had that effect on me. But how did he…..did he really see me touching myself?
“I don't call out your name." I lied, averting my gaze from his dark ones. I could see the amusement dancing in his eyes. He was enjoying this.
My cheeks flushed red in embarrassment when I adjusted my dress again.
His gaze followed my movements and before I could say another word, he took a step forward, slow and purposeful. “You see, my little fairy, when you want to lie, at least make it believable. I could even hear you screaming my name all the way from the entrance of the garden.” He quipped, smirking and stopping just a few meters away from me.
I felt my blood turn to ice. All the way from the entrance? Was…was I that loud?
Once again, my cheeks flushed in embarrassment. But I was quick to pick up whatever dignity I had left. I stood up abruptly, meeting Adonis at eye level even though he was way taller.
“Don't be so full of yourself, Adonis. Why would I call your name when I….I…” I paused, clenching my fist in anger. “Why are you here? Did you come to finally accept the rejection and sever the bond?” I hurriedly changed the topic and thankfully, it worked.
Adonis smiled, not smirk. He reached out to touch my hair, but I knocked his hand off before he could touch me.
‘Let him touch us, please, please please!’ Aria purred excitedly.
I gritted my teeth at her words. ‘Have some shame, Aria.”
"Baby you have to come to terms with the fact that you belong to me and no one else. I’d never accept the rejection or sever the bond. I’d rather bathe in acid." Adonis leaned forward and sniffed me. I instantly took a step back, glaring daggers at him.
“Don't f*****g come close to me!" I hissed.
“Or what?" Adonis challenged, the amusement was back in his eyes. “Do you really not crave my touch anymore? Does your pretty little p***y not throb each time you set your on me?"
His words sent a jolt of something hot through me. I took a step back, unsure of what to do next.
‘Go to him! Go to him!’ Aria purred excitedly, jumping around in my mind. ‘Let me take over!’ she added.
In her dreams. Let her take over and try to destroy whatever face I had left?
Gathering enough courage, I walked around him, not bothering to look back as I hurried towards the exit.
“Sooth yoursel_"
I didn't get to finish my words before a force swept me off my feet.
I gasped, my hands going around Adonis’ neck instinctively.
“What the hell are you doing?!”
"You don't get to act bratty and walk away from me without permission, little one.” Adonis said with a straight face, strolling back to where I was seated a while ago.
My face heated up when his strong scent wafted into my nostrils, his wolf trying to reach out to mine. Of all the times the mate bond could have kicked in, it had to be now?
He placed me back on the swing and grinned when our eyes met.
“How about redoing what you did earlier before I came? I want to see what you look like when you orgasm." I could detect something in his voice, something sinister.
My glare intensified as I shrunk slightly. “Get away from me! I wasn't doing anything!"
But even as I said that, a part of me wanted to redo what I’d been doing before he came. The thought of having him watch me while I f****d myself with my fingers and came apart in front of him made my core throb painfully.
It was as if he could stare right into my soul and read my mind because he suddenly leaned down and reached for my throat.
Something unexpected happened the moment he wrapped his big hand around my throat and gave it a gentle squeeze.
Instead of a gasp or a choking sound, I released a moan. A loud moan that bounced off the little plantations in the garden.
My eyes widened in realization and I hurriedly fought against his grip. “Let me go, Adonis! You have no f*****g right to get close to me or hold me against my will!" If he hadn't chosen my mother over me five years ago, he would have had all the rights. Every single right to touch and do whatever he wanted to do with me.
“Are you sure he still doesn't have that right?” Aria teased and giggled.
I pushed her voice away and focused on the situation at hand.
Adonis reached for my dress and pushed it up with a single tug. I gasped this time, hurriedly checking our surroundings to make sure no one was around.
“Please, let me go! Someone might come here." I hissed again and tried to push my dress down.
“You should have thought about that before touching your pretty pink folds in the open.” He pushed the dress up again, tightening his hold around my neck slightly. “You're one little slut, you know? Even as you try to resist my touch, you’re dripping wet. Getting turned on by what I'm doing to you. By my presence. By my hold on your slender neck.”
“Adonis….” I croaked out, hating the way my voice betrayed me. I shouldn’t let him get close to me. Shouldn’t let him touch me. Shouldn’t let him say these words to me knowing fully that he was my mother’s husband. But I couldn’t bring myself to stop.
I opened my mouth to say something, anything that would get him away from me, but I found myself sucking in a breath the moment he shoved two fingers into my mouth.
“Shut up.” His command came instantly in his Alpha voice. “No more words. Spread your legs, little fairy and touch yourself.”
‘Do it, Sky! Do it!’ Aria urged shamelessly, and I found myself obeying before I could stop.
I parted my legs slightly, reaching down to move my soaked panties to the side. And that was when I heard it.
Someone was approaching the garden.
“Sky!” Dwayne. It was his voice.
Whatever spell Adonis casted on me was instantly broken and was replaced by pure sense of dread.
I pushed him away and sprang up to my feet, fixing my dress as fast as I could.
His eyes still held the amusement from earlier as he shoved the same two fingers that were in my mouth a few minutes ago into his mouth.
His lips moved and he voiced out those words again.
“You’re mine, Skylar.”
