bWhat /bthe fuck bhave /bbI /bdoneb? /b

No–what the fuck bwas /bI doing?

Did I bjust /bpull the Lycan King into my bathroom, lock the door, and then m him against the wall, leaving barely inches.

between us?

While I was… nakedb?! /b

Oh my goddess.

I didn’t even know what was happening anymore. My head was spinning, trying to process everything all at onceb. /b

But most of all… I was trying to process how the goddess had made Darius so devastatingly handsome, yet beautiful at the same timeb. /b

My breath hitched as my eyes traced over his face in awe. Longshes, piercing eyesb, /bsculpted nose, perfect lipsb… /b

Perfect lips.

Fuck.

As I stared at him, I couldn’t help but lick my bottom lip, swallowing hard as my body reacted to the proximity,pletely outside of my control.

My face flushed a deep shade of pink as my nipples hardened, and my core throbbed almost painfully as his intoxicating scent wrapped around me.

My heart pounded so hard it felt like it might explode.

Before I could stop myself, my gaze dropped to his lips.

And like some invisible force was pulling me in, I parted mine and leaned in slowly, the urge to close the distance and kiss him absolutely insane.

But just as my lips hovered inches from his—

Serena’s voice outside snapped me back to reality.

“Mydy? Where bis /bshe? Oh my goddess! She’s not in her room… have the rogues attacked again?” she said, her voice rising with fear.

I blinked, my eyes going wide as they met Darius’s.

His expression was unreadable… but his gaze was lockedpletely on me.

“Shit,” I muttered under my breath, about to lean away and offer an apology for what I’d just done.

But before I could, his arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me back toward him.

A gasp of surprise escaped my lips, and a shiver shot down my spine as he leaned in closer.

Chapter 66.

He reached outb, /band I binstinctively /bbclosed /bmy beyes/b, inhaling sharply bas /bbhis /bfingers brushed my bhair /bbaway /bfrom my neck.

Then, he bleaned /bin and inhaled bdeeply/b.

My jaw bnearly /bhit the floorb. /b

Oh my-

“Miss? bIs /bthat you, mydy?” bSerena’s /bvoice rang out, and my beyes /bsnapped open in horror as bthe /bsound of the doorknob turning reached my earsb. /b

bI /bopened my mouth to respond, but instead of words, a whimper slipped out bas /bI felt Darius’s lips bgraze /bmy skin, sending tingles through every fiber of my body.

My mind was a mess. My heart felt like it was seconds away from bursting out of my bchest/b, but worst of all was the ache between my legs. I didn’t understand why I was this turned on by the man standing so close to me.

“Miss? Are you okay?” Serena called again, worrycing her voice. “Please unlock the door. I’m getting worried… or should I call the Alpha?”

I instantly ced my hands on Darius’s chest, trying to push him back, but when he didn’t budge, I stammered out, forcing myself to speak.

“S–Serena, I’m fine! You don’t have to worry. I’m just… in the toilet, so you can go.”

The words barely registered in my brain as Darius groaned softly, his grip on my waist tightening as he pulled me even closer and–oh Goddess, sniffed me like a damn dog.

“Are you sure you’re okay, Miss? You don’t sound like it. Please open the door for just a second.”

I gasped as Darius’s hand circled my neck, gently turning my face to the side so he could graze the other side with his lips.

I nearly cried when I heard She moan in my head. At this point, I was dangerously close to letting one slip out myself, but I bit it back and pressed my thighs together, trying to suppress the ache building inside me. I forced myself to speak.

“Don’t… don’t worry about me. I’m in the toilet and I can’t get up, so please just leave. You should go to bed. I’ll see you tomorrow, Serena.”

I hissed her name out, breathless and panting. Knowing she’d still try to argue, I quickly added,

“It’s an order, Serena. You’re disturbing me right now.”

There was a pause, a soft sigh from the other side of the door, before her voice came again.

“I apologize, mydy. I was just worried. I’ll be leaving now. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to call.”

The sound of her retreating footsteps reached my ears, and as soon as I heard the door close, I let out a shaky sigh of relief. But I didn’t even get the chance to recover before a moan escaped my lips, Darius had leaned away from my neck and tilted my chin up with his hand, forcing me to meet his gaze.

My eyes widened at our proximity, he was so close I could practically feel his hot breath brushing against my lips.

In that moment, as bI /bstared at him, it felt as though the world had finallye to a stop. The man before me was so mercilessly attractive I couldn’t tear my eyes away. And not only that, the way he bwas /bstaring at me, it felt like I bwas /bpletely trapped.

It wasn’t a look of disgust… nor was it the usual hatred he often gave me. This time, it was different.

And if I could sum it up in bone /bword, it was lust.

My breath hitched bas /bhe leaned bcloser/b, murmuring under his breath,

b“/bWhy do you smell like her right now?b” /b

His words made my brows furrow, but my body stiffened when I felt his hand move lower on my waist, sliding down to the curve of my butt.

What bwas /bhappening?!

“M–My King.” I whispered breathlessly, trying to push away from him as my hands pressed against his chest but what Darius did next made my entire world freeze.

“You smell delicious.”

And with that, he closed the distance between us and crashed his lips onto mine.
