I Will Never Love You

Heat

4 days had passed since the terrible first date. 4 days of silence mixed with occasional outbursts of yelling. 4 days of Bella sleeping on the couch and waking up in his bed. 4 days of him disappearing and Beta Slade watching over her. 4 days of tedious repetition that has Bella losing her mind.

She's thought about escaping, but, as if sensing her thoughts, Beta Slade would always appear and watch her every move like a hawk when she thought about attempting a breakout. Bella was a strong wolf, but she couldn't go head to head with Slade.

Bella laid in his bed that morning, staring up at the beautiful ceiling. She knew Beta Slade was outside the door, she could faintly smell him over the enticing aroma that her mate had left behind that wafted from the bed. She would get up soon and start her shower, then meet Beta Slade downstairs so he can watch her eat because that's not creepy at all.

As Bella swung her legs over the side of his bed, a strange feeling erupted in her core. It was a fluttering sensation for a second but it soon passed. Bella paused to see if it would come again, but after sitting on the bed doing nothing for a couple seconds she got up and started her shower.

As the warm water rolled over her flesh, images forced their way to the forefront of her mind. Images of Lucian. The way his jaw would clench when he got angry. The depth of brown and gold that consumed his eyes. The way his arms would flex as he rolled up his sleeves after a long day of work, at least she assumed he was at work. Worst of all, she had the images of his shirtless body. Sculpted, strong, thick. It left her to imagine what the rest of him would look like without clothes.

It wasn't until a wandering hand had almost reached a sensitive place on her body that she snapped out of it. That feeling from before was stronger now, and it wasn't just in her stomach. Her eyes widened and her heart raced in a panic as she recognized what this was. She was being turned on by thoughts of her mate.

She quickly hopped out of the shower and out into the main room without even bothering to shut the water off. She needed the colder air on her moistened skin to wake her self up. How could she let her thoughts wander like that? With him of all people!

She hurriedly toweled herself off and threw on a white shirt and jean shorts. Her mind was a mess as she slowly walked back to the bathroom door and glared into the room as if it was the reason for her dirty thoughts. Taking a deep breath, she hurriedly went in, shut the shower off, and ran out. She didn't want to think about being in that compromising mindset that the hazy warmth of the shower left again.

As she made her way into the kitchen she ignored Beta Slade's raised eyebrow at her sloppy and soaking appearance. She hadn't done a very good job drying her self off. Her hair was leaving droplets everywhere she went and her clothing clung to her body. She ignored the uncomfortable feeling it brought and quickly grabbed a bowl and filled it up with Captain Crunch before pouring in some milk and making her way to the table.

Not even bothering with a spoon, Bella stuck her face in the bowl and started gobbling it up. In a matter of seconds, Bella lifted the bowl up with her face so the food would fall into her mouth. She moaned into the ceramic bowl at the feeling of the cold milk dripping down her chin and neck. Another strong wave of heat flooded through her body, but this time it stayed.

Slamming her bowl back down she stared into the bewildered eyes of Beta Slade, she needed a distraction. "More."

Slowly, Beta Slade reached out for the captain crunch and milk that she left on the table and handed it to her. Bella's eyes greedily drank up his large arms that flaunted before her. The heat grew stronger, it was getting unbearable, even squeezing her legs shut wouldn't help her. No longer using the bowl, Bella poured the cereal straight into her mouth then proceeded to chug the milk, all while maintaining eye contact with Beta Slade. She needed more.
