Chapter 200: Did I Push Him Away?
My skin itched, as I held myself back from just running to the door and throwing myself into his arms.
Gamma Rhett.
It was more obvious now that he was the one at the other end of the door. Even from that distance, I could pick up the scent of his musky cologne, causing my body to burn with desire. Memories of last night flashed through my head, my wolf growling in a way that made me realize that she wanted him.
But I couldn’t go meet him. I couldn’t open the door. So, I got up, trying to hide in my room. However, Cullen’s voice called me back, as the knocking from Rhett continued.
"Where do you think you’re going? That’s the door, go answer it." He nearly hollered, forcing me to look at him like he’d gone mad. The betrayer!
He was going to let Rhett know I was here. I had to make it up by explaining what happened this morning better to him. Yeah, I guess that could work.
I took in a deep breath, clenching and unclenching my fists to calm myself down. The mere presence of Rhett, even though I hadn’t opened the door yet made me feel like I was going to go insane with desire.
I missed him. I craved him. I needed him.
My steps were heavy, and I finally reached the door. Placing my hand— which was constantly fidgeting—on the doorknob, I swerved my head to see Cullen urging me on with a coy smile.
With a click, I opened the door, only to meet Rhett preparing to force himself in. He squinted his eyes in surprise, but that soon transformed into glee and joy I hadn’t realized how much I’d missed seeing.
It hadn’t even been a day.
