Chapter 147: _ Your Father is My Soulmate
Rhett stared at me for a long moment, his expression unreadable. "Expectations," he finally said. "Right now, Isleen, the only expectation I have is for you to trust me. This connection we share— it’s powerful, dangerous even. But I promise you, I won’t lead you astray. If you want us to make our reveal today, I’m your guy. But whatever you decide, I’ll respect your decision."
"Let’s meet tomorrow night." I didn’t know when the words escaped me.
I had blurted out those words before realizing what I had said. It was, however, too late for redemption.
Rhett’s mouth twisted in amusement. "Look who is finally being honest with herself."
Rhett’s amusement only intensified my fluster. I mumbled a weak defense, "I-I just..."
He cut me off with a low chuckle. "Don’t worry, beautiful Omega," he teased. "I won’t bite... at least not yet."
His words held a double meaning– the playful threat was both thrilling and terrifying. Did he enjoy having this kind of power over me?
He had bitten me before. Would he do it again?
Heat flooded my cheeks as I realized he was right. He held all the cards in this game, this unconventional dance we were engaged in. A part of me craved the thrill, the danger of exploring this connection further.
But another part, the more cautious side, whispered warnings of potential heartbreak. Not just of mine but others– others like Kylo.
But that wasn’t a new thing and I had made my decision. What did I truly want? A fling fueled by desire, or something more?
