Thank fuck that Knox dragged my ass here.
Having Promise in my arms as we dance to a slow song feels, well just; right!
I don't care what anyone thinks. She is my mate and I'm enjoying every second of being in her arms.
"About today?" I want her to believe that I don't have a damn girlfriend. I have no idea why she even thought it in the first damn place.
"I don't have a girlfriend Promise. I haven't dated anyone in years." I need her to understand this.
"That's not what Lola said!" She turns her head away from me. Lola? What the hell? Where the hell did she get that idea?
"I don't know what you have heard Promise but I swear to you that Lola is definitely not my girlfriend," I put my fingers on her chin bringing her face around to look at me "who told you that?" I sure hope it wasn't Tyson trying to cause trouble after what he said about her yesterday, I don't doubt he would be that devious.
"Lola." Now that surprises me, why would Lola tell her we were dating? Unless Tyson put her up to it? I know Lola try to hook up with me a couple of times after her and Tyson split. But I wouldn't go out with her. I didn't see her that way. I was not attracted to her.
"I don't understand. Lola and I have never been together Promise. Never!" Her emerald eyes lock into mine, searching for the truth of my statement.
"I would not lie to you. Did I lie about being your mate?" She shakes her head, "then why would I lie to you about this? You are my mate and I would never do that to you. Understand?" I truly hope she does, she closes her eyes for second. Inhaling deeply, when she opens them again she stares right into mine: penetrating me.
She doesn't say a word, she reaches her hand up, placing it on the back of neck. Then she kisses me. Tenderly at first, her lips are so soft against mine. I slide my tongue into her mouth, our tongues battle for dominance, she's diffidently winning. Sparks ignite within me, coursing through my entire body. Lighting a fire straight to my groin. She's delectable, very enticing. I never knew a kiss could effect me so deeply.
Breaking away from the kiss, I place my forehead on hers.
"That was amazing." She giggles, it's such an intoxicating melody to hear.
I see Knox with Marley out of the corner of my eye, raising my head away from Promises, I watch as they walk to the stairway.
No fucking way is he actually going to do what I think he's going to do? How could he? After finding our mate he's going to so blatantly fuck Marley upstairs?
His eyes catch ours from over his shoulder. He looks so longingly at both of us. I glance to Promise and see heartbreak all over face. Does she even know he's her mate? I know she knows about me but I haven't told her about Knox yet. By the look she's giving him she seems to have some realizations about it. Damn! And now he's going to fuck up by fucking Marley!
