Chapter 209-Everyone Is Sleeping Around
Helanie:
His lips tasted like fresh cherries, intoxicating and sweet. His arm was wrapped tightly around my waist, his body pressed firmly against mine. The disgust I used to feel upon someone’s touch was slowly fading when only around certain rogue brothers and it really confused me. But then my body would remember and I would flinch hard.
However, before it could go any further, I remembered we weren’t alone either. My eyes darted toward the car, and I broke the kiss, gently unwrapping his arm from around me. Lucy wasn’t in sight.
"She’s lying down in the backseat," Maximus said, noticing my discomfort and answering my unspoken question.
"What are you doing?" I asked, the realization of what had just happened washing over me. Kissing him was a mistake.
"Your friend ruined my plans for the night, so I decided to steal a little kiss to salvage it," he replied smugly, a teasing smirk playing on his lips. His tone was almost infuriatingly cocky, making me roll my eyes.
"What’s your point? I’m your student and your stepsister. What exactly are you planning here? Because, Maximus, I didn’t feel the mate bond with you. I’m sure whatever you felt was just heat from the combat," I said coldly, even though I didn’t entirely believe my own words.
My life had turned into a complete mess. My friends were fighting and hiding things from me, my reputation at the academy was hanging by a thread, one of my mates had found a chosen mate, and now his brother was claiming to be mine. On top of that, the seniors would undoubtedly be plotting their revenge after their humiliation.
With all this chaos, I couldn’t afford to focus on the romantic side of my life. And I certainly couldn’t accept my mates—not with the promise I made to myself and the challenge I issued to the Moon Goddess.
