My body?
That was what he was asking for in exchange for searching for Kieran? He was basically saying that if I wanted him to look for Kieran’s whereabouts, I had to offer myself to him.
My breath hitched almost immediately, and I swallowed hard as my heart thundered violently in my chest. As I stared at him. I couldn’t help but notice how impossibly close we were-
So close 1 could feel his hot breath tickle my lips.
His fingers on my chin tightened, and his gaze locked onto mine. Everything seemed to blur in that exact moment as his eyes dropped to my lips and he murmured under his breath,
“What do you say, she<b>–</b>wolf?”
His voice was thick, darker–sending a shiver down my spine.
“What I’m asking for wouldn’t be likest night. What I want is more… not a one–night thing.”
I inhaled sharply as Darius ced his thumb against my bottom lip, stroking it softly, making my body tremble, everything blurring further.
“That means whenever I want you, you’d have toe to me. I could do whatever I want to you. I could fuck you as hard as I want…” he hummed, and my eyes fluttered shut for a moment as his hand slid from my chin to the curve of my neck.
“I could choke you if I wish…”
A gasp escaped me just as he leaned in closer<b>, </b>his lips brushing against my ear as he whispered,
“Your body will belong entirely to me… <b>to </b>use as I please<b>.</b><b>” </b>
As soon as he said those words, I could’ve sworn my heart dropped straight to the pit of my stomach because holy mother of the goddess.
My heart was about to explode.
Was this really Darius? The Lycan King?
Was he really standing before me right now?
And if it was him… how had he changed so easily, so suddenly, like the flip of a switch?
There was no doubt he could feel the frantic rhythm of my heartbeat beneath his palm as he held me by the neck. And
when he leaned back slightly, eyes locked on mine, he tilted his head and let out a low hum
“So think wisely,” he said, his gaze cold and unreadable.
For a moment, I found myself looking into his eyes as though I was trying to search for a yful glint, something to show he was joking. But I must have forgotten something important about Darius, he was a man who didn’t joke around,
I mean, I had just seen himugh for the very first time now, so I highly doubled it.
He was dead serious, and my answer would decide what happened next.
Would I say yes and give myself to him physically, and in return he’d find Kieran for me?
Or would I <b>say </b>no… <b>and </b>he wouldn’t?
Those were the two options I had, but….
Were those really options?
I didn’t think so, not when the answer was already clear.
I didn’t even need to think about it. I had made my decision the very second I snapped out of my daze and shock.
So let me put it in much simpler terms:
If I chose the first one, I was choosing both dick and the chance to finally get revenge on Kieran. I’d get to relive that steamy night, again and again with an insanely gorgeous man.
But if I didn’t choose it… then I got absolutely nothing.
As I stared at Darius standing before me, the corner of my lips slowly tilted into a smirk, and a glint of excitement sparked in my eyes.
And for a split second, I caught a flicker of surprise sh across his.
Of course, I was going to choose option A! I wasn’t stupid.
“So you’re saying that if we <b>have </b>more sex, you’ll help me find Kieran? Is that what you’re saying?” I asked with a bright
smile.
I never thought I’d see the day the lycan king actually looked surprised but there it was<b>, </b>clear on his face. His gaze narrowed slightly in confusion, but I took that as confirmation<b>. </b>
Was this seriously the deal?
Honestly, I would’ve <b>slept </b>with him for free!
t want to
“Okay! I don’t mind giving you my body if it means you’ll help me find him. Alive or dead, it doesn’t matt see him. Or his corpse. With my own eyes. You can use force to drag him here if he’s alive, or dig up his grave it he’s not. I really don’t care.”
As I spoke, Darius’s grip on my neck loosened, and his gaze narrowed in on me. He actually looked taken aback but I kept going anyway.
<b>“</b>You know Aria? My ex–best friend? If you could also find her body, I’d be thrilled. In fact, I’d be really <b>d </b>if you brought
Kieran to me alive and found Aria’s body too. But if you can’t manage both, then just Kieran will do,”
I said with a smallugh, covering my mouth with an excited <b>grin</b>.
Goddess, this was really good! If Darius got involved, if he truly used bastard for me.
I couldn’t wait for this<b>. </b>
Hehe.
power, it would be a piece of cake to find that
An evil grin slipped across my lips as I imagined the day Kieran would be dragged before me–me, standing tall with my head held high, dagger in hand, torturing him slowly… and then finishing him off with a smile, myughter echoing against his cries.
Oh, I couldn’t wait!
I heard Darius scoff beside me, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw him lean back, hands slipping into his pockets as he
stared at me with an unamused expression while I <bughed </b>maniacally.
Without even realizing it, I started speaking aloud.
“If I find that bastard, I’m going to make him pay for everything he put me through. I’ll make him suffer just as much as 1 did,” I muttered, and though I wasughing, a bitter smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I whispered,
“In the past life, he had the upper hand… he betrayed me and killed me. But in this life, I’ll have his head.”
I spat the words out, hatred clouding my eyes but just a secondter, my eyes widened and I gasped, realizing I had actually said those words out loud.
I had broken the goddess’s rule. I wasn’t supposed to talk about the past to anyone.
I braced myself, waiting for the force to hit me… but it didn’t
Instead-
Darius spoke.
His voice was low, confused, as he asked,
“What do you mean by past life?”
My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. I inhaled sharply, staring at him in shock and disbelief.
No way. H–had he heard me?
