She's Mine To Claim: Mr. Alpha, Can You Kiss Me More? novel Chapter 40

Amelia's pov

The words taste like acid on my tongue, so bitter and so....untrue. Yet I bit my tongue and try to compose myself. We were enemies and I had to remember that. Raiden and I....we could never be.

His eyes flash, a dark gleam of pain that made my stomach drop but as soon as he reveals it, he hides it. He stands up to his full height and I hold my breath when his toned body stalk toward me like a wolf moving to its prey.

The room feels too small and hot with him so close to me. I can only breathe in his scent when he stops just inches from me. His eyes locked on mine and I forgot how to breathe. " Mistake?" He bites out the word with hatred.

I nod numbly, sinking my teeth into my tongue until it hurts.

His lips curl into a sneer and he surprises me when he dips his head, our eyes now leveled, the tips of our nose brushing. The air around us feels like electricity is humming through the atmosphere.

His eyes pin me where I stood and I can't seem to move, or pull away from him. " You're going to remember how deep my fingers had been inside you," his tone is raspy, hard and promising. " You're going to remember my mouth on your tits, my teeth on your nipple,"

I sucked in a sharp breath, my chest rising and falling. His eyes narrowed as he sneers. " You're going to remember me Amelia. You're going to be haunted by everything me,"

My breath hitches when he lift his hand and took a lock of my hair, pinching it and tug at it a little. " And you're going to have to live with that fact," he smirks, dropping my hair and stepping back.

I glared at his back as he turns around and picks up his clothes. " Get out of my house Raiden," I sniped under my breath.

He licked his lips, his eyes dancing with mirth and when they dip to stare at my own lips, they darken with a ghost of desire. My breathing haste despite me trying to fight whatever this was between us.

I hate that I had doomed myself the moment I tried to pretend he didn't affect me. " Fight it all you want Amelia," he steps forward until my hand had no choice but to drop back at my sides. His chest now brushing against mine and his finger now under my chin, forcing me to look up at him.

I can't resist and our eyes connect. I hold my breath, watching the emotions play in his eyes. " But know that you're mine," his eyes drop to my lips and he licked his, smiling.

" And soon everyone will know it too," with a playful pinch to my chin, he steps back and leaves the house without another word while I remain where I stood, completely and utterly flabbergasted.
