Chapter 40: You Cheap Slut!
Iris’s POV
"You should watch where you step." Lucas’s voice was filled with concern as his hands still held me. My cheeks burned, as I quickly took a step from him.
"Thank you. I need to leave now," I said, my heart still racing from the way his eyes lingered on me. I turned to go but before I could take another step, his voice stopped me again.
"How about a walk?" He said as my eyes darted to the window where I’d seen Amelia moments ago, but now he window was empty. My stomach twisted. What would she think now? I opened my mouth to refuse, to explain that I’ve got some work to attend to but his words made me speechless.
"It’s an order," Lucas added, his voice sounding like a tease, "from Alpha Lucas, not just Silas." He winked, the corner of his mouth lifting into a lopsided smile that made me couldn’t say no.
I hesitated, but against my better judgment, I nodded. "Fine," I said, gesturing for him to follow. "This way."
We walked, keeping my eyes forward without staring at him. Lucas fell into step beside me until he spoke again.
"You know," he began, his voice casual. "for some reason, I can’t quite figure out why I’m drawn to you." He glanced at me, his head tilted slightly, as if searching for an answer in my expression. "I haven’t felt like this in years." He added.
My breath caught. This was the last thing I wanted to hear from him right now. I swallowed hard without saying a word as he spoke casually again.
"You’re looking good tonight," he added, his tone teasing. He nudged my arm gently with his elbow, and I could see the smile on his lips.
