Cara parked her car exactly where she parked it in the morning when they came with no hope to pick up her necklace from where she dropped it.
Renova figured out his plan was to meet her again, or else, he'd have returned it the next morning and left. Or better still, not pick it up.
"I'd just take the necklace from him and leave". She repeated as they walked through the woods, carefully watching her steps.
"I'm sure he'll try to ask you why you rejected him". Cara said.
"Do I look like I care?" Of course she did care. Her palms were sweaty as f**k and she was nervous as hell. She felt like the victim of an arranged marriage.
"You don't and you're wearing your prettiest dress and even washed your hair? It seems to me like you're trying to impress someone you DON'T want".
She didn't bother to reply Cara. What did she have to say? She had said it all. It was true and she couldn't defend herself. The mate bond kept pulling her mind back to him each time and currently, she seventy percent wanted him. He was on her mind all day and she couldn't focus on anything else. She also wanted to see him. She wanted to see him physically in his human form.
"I knew you'd come".
Renova's heart dropped to her belly on hearing those words from the dark. She pointed her flashlight and saw devian walking forward. He had been hiding in the dark?
He stopped in front of her and when renova summoned all the courage to look into his eyes, she caught him staring at her...from her legs to her laps! Somehow she could feel the effect of his gaze on her laps. And he didn't try to hide the fact that he was mesmerized. He even stepped further.
"And you want us to talk while looking like this". His voice came out soft and Nova's breath hitched on hearing those words.
She saw him fold his arms, probably to refrain himself from touching her. His muscles flexed as he did, threatening to tear the shirt into pieces.
"I'm here for my necklace". She cleared her throat before saying.
He stepped further and Renova stepped back a little. She was about to step back again when he stepped further but stopped dead on her tracks when he said;
"I can't guarantee the fact that I won't stop you if you take a step back again". He warned. "You're tempting already". He added in a whisper.
She tried to hide the fact that she was trembling within herself as she stared up at his gorgeous face that was enough to make her melt.
She heard Cara clear her throat beside her. "Er..I'm gonna take a walk up there". She glanced at Nova before walking away.
"I just...just hand me back my necklace. I have things to get back to". She opened her palm in front of him.
"Why did you leave yesterday?"
Renova tried not to close her eyes as she knew he was going to ask. Only an insane mate wouldn't ask that question. "I..it's nothing".
"So it's a mistake?" He asked.
"No it's not". She said almost immediately. "I just don't..I don't wa—"
"Shh. Don't say it". He stopped her. He sure didn't want to hear her say she didn't want him.
Closing the little space between them, devian brought his hand up to slide her hair strands to the back of her ear. Renova shivered in response to his fingers slightly grazing her face, leaving loads of spark running helter-skelter up and down her spines.Was he trying to con her?
He brought his face closer to her head and sniffed in her hair slowly. Nova closed her eyes as she felt his breath on her ear.
"This—" . He paused and circled his arm around Nova's waist, running the other on her chest. "—turns me on".
Renova twisted her laps, her hands balling into fists as she tried to hold her ground. He hadn't even started anything and she was losing her mind already. The more she gathered her strength to push herself away from him, the more they failed her. She couldn't get away from him.
A soft moan forced its way out of her mouth as he bit her earlobe softly. Her fisted hands went up in search for his shoulders for support as he kissed her face softly.
He traced the kisses down to her neck and kept on caressing a particular spot with his lips, making her back a breath away.
"Relax, I know you aren't ready". He whispered in her ear and while doing that, his other arm went down to her thighs, pushing up her gown slowly. This sly act sent a reverberating shiver that snatched another moan from her lips.
Renova found herself immobile when his lips touched hers softly. He kissed her gently..so gentle and passionate you'd think he had the whole night in his palm. He bit her lips softly as he continued sliding his hand up her body. He gained entrance into her lips and that was when he started to kiss her in a rough way that turned her on.
She felt him run his hand on her ass, squeezing it every second and eliciting a moan from her. She drove her fingers into his hair, pulling it slightly. He seemed to react to her movement because his grip tightened on her and his kisses got intense. His other hand transferred from her ass to her wet spot.
"f**k". Renova couldn't help but break the kiss to curse when he started moving his finger on her fold. He caught her lips again and all she could do was moan in his mouth. When she couldn't take it and felt the need to breath, she'd break the kiss.
"Hell!" She moaned out as she jerked a little when Devian slipped his finger into her unannounced. "f**k, devian....."
"Exactly". She wasn't sure but she heard him say that as he kissed her from her neck to her shoulder. Renova tightened her arms around his neck, hoping she won't fall. Her head was completely blank with his act and all she could focused on was the need to reach her climax.
There were two fingers sliding in and out of her non-stop now with his thumb rubbing her fold. She cursed as her knees buckled and he body ignited. She was about to close her eyes and feel the orgasm run through every part of her body when he suddenly slipped his fingers out. The connection her body had gathered shattered immediately, leaving her unsatisfied and frustrated. "What the f**k, devian". The words fell off her lips without going through a thinking process, breathing heavily as her head fell on his shoulder.
Did he do that on purpose?
"I don't want you screaming in the woods in the middle of the night. We'll finish it off when you're ready". He said and backed away a bit. She should have known he was trying to make her submit. Cursing at her legs which now seemed to work, she stepped away from him.
"Whenever you're ready". He repeated and brought out her necklace from his pocket. "You have enough time to think about it. I don't have a thing for patience though". He took her hand and dropped the necklace on it.
Before he left, he leaned down and planted a soft kiss that lingered for a while on her lips as she watched him dissappear into the night slowly.
