Revenge Deal; my ex-mate’s father desires me

Chapter three

Shirley's POV

It was as if his words unleashed the effect of the aphrodisiac inside my system. Immediately, I felt a tingling sensation between my legs as he tightened his arms around my waist.

He whisked me off my feet and lowered me gently Into the bed and I watched him, unable to do anything. Or rather, not wanting to do anything.

As his skin made contact with mine again, I felt an unladylike shiver of lust run down my spine. It might be the aphrodisiac but I wanted this man right now.

I couldn't get the thoughts of getting back at Derek out of my mind. If Derek could cheat on me and still make me suffer, then maybe I can also pay him back in his coins by sleeping with this handsome stranger.

The man joined me on the bed, his eyes mirrored the lust that had taken over his entire being. He looked almost feral now as he pinned me to the bed and hastily discarded my torn clothes.

My fingers worked his clothes, desperate to bring us skin to skin. When he slid his trousers off and my gaze fell on his manhood, my mind emptied.

The man was no doubt not so young but he was still very much so down there. When he slid into me, a throaty whimper escaped my lips as pain and pleasure slammed against my spot.

His eyes went dark with surprise. "You--- you're a virgin, Shirley?"

What? Did he just call me by my name, how did he know that? I was about to ask him just that when his hands moulded my beast and every thought tumbled out of my mind.

"Please, don't stop!" I cried.

This time, he thrust In and all I could feel was how passion rose in my spot and took me soaring to the seventh heavens.

******

I woke up with a star the next morning, feeling the warm glow of the sun on my face. I rolled on the bed till I felt a warm skin on mine. I jerked off the bed immediately as memories of the steamy night came flooding in.

Shit! What have I done? Did I just sleep with a stranger? Rage boiled in my guts as I remembered what Derek had injected into me. It was the aphrodisiac that made me do this.

I will never see him again. I assured myself. He was a stranger after all.

As I stood in front of my house with my eyes filled with unshed tears, I suddenly felt too reluctant to go inside. How could I remain under the same roof with a sister who slept with my mate?

Well, ex-mate.

I inserted my key into the door's lock but to my dismay, it wouldn't budge. What was wrong? I wondered after trying it countless times.

"The door won't open because I changed the lock." Sarah's voice sounded behind me.

I squinted my eyes in confusion. "What the hell are you talking about? How dare you change the lock without my permission. The house belongs to us both in case you've forgotten."

She cackled with laughter. "No, little sister. It doesn't. In Dad's will, there was a clause about how you couldn't claim ownership until you'd turned twenty-two years old. Unfortunately, you're still twenty years old, so this house is mine and I don't wish to see you in it any longer."

She glanced at a corner. "I helped you pack the trash you call property to that corner. As to where you'll stay, you can just pack in with your vegetative mother in the hospital.".

Her words struck a painful cord in me and I smacked her hard across the face. She shrieked in pain as her lips drew into a savage line.

"How dare you, Shirley!? You just made a terrible mistake by slapping me. I was hoping to beg Derek not to fire you. But not anymore."

"What are you talking about?" Confusion laced my words.

She snickered. "Have you forgotten? You got the job at the company because of Derek and now that he is pissed with you, you've been fired!"

No! They couldn't do this to me. The tears I had been holding since slid down my face. How would I pay off mom's hospital bills if I lost the job? I discarded my pride and fell on my knees.

"Sarah, don't do this."I sniffed back the tears as I held onto her hands. "Four months. I needed just four months to clear Mom's hospital bills so she'd be released. Please, you can fire me then."

She burst into a peal of laughter. "What? I can't believe you're really kneeling right now. You acted so pompous yesterday, I thought you had a secret card you were going to play. Sadly, only Derek can---" she trailed off as the screeching of a car's tyres filled the air.

"Sarah!" Derek's voice called out.

I quickly hid and the next minute, I heard the sound of the car driving away.

I slumped to the ground as emotions racked my body. Two years ago, my parents had a fatal accident and my father died from it while my mother had been in a coma since then. And our company had been hijacked by some unknown people.

I have been paying Mom's hospital bills since then. As if on cue, my phone beeped in my pocket and a notification appeared on the screen. A NEW MESSAGE FROM DOCTOR RYKER!!

"Hello, Miss Shirley. Your hospital bills are becoming long overdue and you have till next week to pay up, or we might be forced to take action."

My heart sank as I clutched my phone tight. The job was my last hope of saving my mother. I really had to get another job. Only one person could help me.

Ava, my high school classmate. I took a cab to her workplace and went straight to her office. She opened the door and shock registered on her face immediately she saw me.

"Shirley!" She all but screamed as she enveloped me in a warm embrace. "What brings You here? Sarah told me you're always busy at work."

I shrugged. "Well, guess who's jobless now? I was fired today and I desperately need a job. I need to settle my mom's hospital bill. Is there any opening at the clubhouse? Anything at all. I'll do it."

She went silent for a while clearing her throat. "Well, I'm not sure, but I think there might be something I can do."

One hour later, I was in a red gown, sitting in an insanely extravagant room and awaiting the VVIP who Ava had told me to entertain. The job required dancing to entertain them and it was a huge pay.

The door swung open and sunlight filtered in, momentarily blinding me. When the door closed, my eyes caught two guests approaching me. One was a man whom I immediately recognized as the pack's beta. He must be the top VVIP. I reckoned.

But every coherent thought dispelled from my head the moment I laid my eyes on the second guest. He was none other than the man whom I had had a crazy one-night stand with yesterday.

He barely spared me a look as he took his seat. "Shall we start?"

Did he nit recognize me? Or was he merely pretending not to? My mind was filled with different thoughts.

Nevertheless, I didn't fail to notice how the beta bowed to him before taking his seat. Then it all clicked and a horrified gasp tore out of my throat. The resemblance! The smell of authority and dominance. The gray hair!

Shit! What have I done? He was none other than the Alpha king and the father of my ex-mate, Alpha Lucas Steele!

He seemed to have recognized me too as a frown framed his forehead. "Have we met before?"
