Chapter 187: Rejecting What They’d Done
Rhett couldn’t quite put his fingers on it, but he could sense that something was off with Isleen. She wasn’t the shy girl he was used to, and even almost kissed him right there on the road, with all those people passing by.
He had to take them to the hotel. They reached there with his car and once in the room, he’d noticed her hesitation on seeing that the room had two beds. But he’d done that on purpose. For her.
He secretly hoped that something happened that night between them, but he didn’t want to force it. Moon goddess knew he wouldn’t be able to control himself if they slept on the same bed that night. He didn’t want Isleen to be more nervous, but somehow, she beat all his expectations.
Not only did she sit on the same bed as him, but she made the first move, taking the lead by kissing him. His wolf growled inside him, telling him to take her without holding back, but he still held back. He knew Isleen had been through a lot, especially after finding out the truth about Liam.
He had felt her despondency. He’d felt her guilt back in his office when he’d shared the news. But somehow, she managed to mask her emotions well and didn’t overreact like he’d expected.
Something was off with his mate’s emotional state. He couldn’t help feeling like she wanted to force the sex to distract herself, from the pain, from actually having to face her problems. She was running away from her emotions and if she didn’t go back to them quickly, it could all come crashing on her, overwhelming her eventually.
Before he could worry about her more, however, Isleen made it harder for him to resist her. She was beautiful, that was undeniable. She was so confident of herself, and of him too. Soon, he couldn’t hold back and gave in to his desires. He couldn’t resist her no matter how much he tried.
Their bodies were entwined in a brash dance. Skin against skin. Hip against hip. Lips against lips. And then when he bit her again, feeling her shiver with pleasure under his hold and groan his name, it only made his wolf go wilder. Until he couldn’t take the heat anymore, and with an urgency that surprised even himself, he went inside her.
When he finally got inside her, the bliss felt like heaven.
