VANCE’S POV
Everything suddenly tasted bland on my tongue. Kade was playing my role— he was flirting with Scarlet. I was better with women, than he’d ever be.
My wolf grounded his fangs, he was on the brink of losing his sanity. However, it wasn’t directed at Kade, but at me. I had the opportunity to take Scarlet first. Instead, I’d preferred to trade Ivy who was straddling against my thighs.
This was Kade’s idea in the first place. Ivy plastered kisses all over my face, my wolf sneered. ‘Get her out of your body this instant.’
I tightened my hands around her, from the corner of my eyes I was paying attention to Scarlet and Kade. Roman’s face was etched with amusement.
Was this planned to ridicule me? Kade had never taken sides with anyone since Roman and I started our loggerheads. He’d barely said a word to either of us, yet there he was, his hands snaked around Scarlet’s waist.
“Let’s get out of here,” I said by tone curt. “We’d make use of my hotel room.” My tone was curt, and sounded like I didn’t care. Albeit, a part of me wanted a reaction from Scarlet.
She made to move away from Kade when he held her right in place. “Where are you going?” He paused, his time steady like her not gone out of character. It wasn’t unusual for an Alpha to want a woman for the night.
But for Kade Castillo? He was too laidback to want anything to do with any other woman. He usually kept to himself. I racked my brain trying to piece what had gone wrong.
I couldn’t wrap my fingers around anything. Frustration blossomed around my temples, as Ivy let out a giggle. “Let’s go baby.” She said, almost squealing. I couldn’t have anything to do with another woman as long as my mate was in my pack.
Even if I wanted to.
My wolf’s senses are connected to her. If I touched any other woman sensually, Scarlet would be hurt. On the bright side, it’ll be the best way to punish her for being absolutely sharp mouthed.
Still, I couldn’t.
My wolf’s restraint was alarming. My wolf, Blade, was just like me in every way. He was a protector, and a destroyer.
Blade went rogue on anyone he perceived as threat, anyone at all. I flung Ivy who was drunk over my shoulders, and sauntered out of the club. I had a score to settle with my brothers.
Did they really think I’ll let them go behind me to claim Scarlet? Yet, they acted like they didn’t want her.
Or, even worse that wanted to dominate her, before they let her go? That was my f*****g role they were playing. That jerk Roman had put Kade up to this. Laidback Kade wouldn’t draw people’s attention the way he just did. And not in a club.
I placed Ivy in the car, and drove straight to my villa. I scrunched my nose at Alexander, the head enforcer standing at my door. He bowed, and made to take Ivy from my hand. “Why are you here?” I asked, ignoring his gesture.
“We have news you might like to hear.”
My nose flared. “What about?” I paused, and added. “Can’t you see I’m busy?” My wolf poked at my insides.
Alexander bowed. “We suspect our pack borders being breached.”
My jaw tensed, as disgust simmered in my veins. I didn’t have any willpower to go through pack troubles, not tonight.
“I’ll attend to it tomorrow morning.” My voice brooked no opposition. He bowed, and walked. The instant we stepped in my suite, Ivy wrapped her hands around my neck, grinding hard against me.
She plastered kisses all over my cheeks, licking my face, and earlobe. My d**k twitched, albeit the excitement that came with f*****g women in my harem.
Tonight, Scarlet’s image was etched deep in my memory. Ivy pushed her lips, and made to crash it against mine, when I pulled away.
It was in this second I noticed my wolf had buried himself deep in my mind. Blade’s action was a warning— he wanted nothing to do with any woman.
Strange.
Blade had an insatiable urge. He made out with as much women in his harem as he could. Tonight, he was bland…unresponsive.
I rolled out of bed, unbuttoned my shirt, and started making my way to the shower. I stopped in my tracks when I sensed Ivy trailing behind me.
“I want to be alone?”
She groaned, inched closer to me, and started tracing her hands over my bare chest, fondling with my n*****s while she traced her tongue over my back.
“Do you like this instead?” Her voice was a whisper. “I can take it gently, you know.” She added in that seductive voice that used to make my blood sing with adrenaline.
Ivy was the only woman who can take in the monstrosity of my urge. Yeah, she limped afterwards, that was the perks of sharing my bed.
I pressed my lips, fighting back the urge to let out a moan. Ivy was persistent as her wolf, I give it to her. She bit me against my flesh.
“f**k!” I let out a deep throaty sound.
Ivy giggled. “Gotcha!” She squeaked, straddling herself against my back. “Let’s go take a shiver baby. We need to calm your monster down.”
I looked down, and my d**k was hard as rock, poking against my pants. Damn! I wanted to me buried deep inside one woman.
Blade snickered, and delved deeper into my heart, as if he didn’t want to be a part of this, understandably so.
I ignored his coldness, flipped Ivy so she was against my chest. I grabbed her chin, and kissed her frantically. “Can you—” I’d barely finished my statement, she pushed herself up, her boobs in my face.
That was it!
I took her into the shower, turned it on. Her screams drowned under the intensity of the shower, as I pounded her with no emotion. That should bring a tinge of excitement.
For the first time in my life, illusion became real, if I reached for it, I could touch it. Scarlet’s images were plastered all over my mind, while I was inside another woman.
I was doomed.
