Chapter 273: Silent Treatment

Dace pulled away allowing me to catch my breath, I took a deep release from it after our passionate kiss, my cheeks were flushed too and my heartbeat was on a run down, the heat I didn’t realize was present engulfed my body as well as his. Like a fiery furnace between us and unmeasured temperature.

The stare he gave me was quite heated too, matching with a lovely smile on his lips. I blush further as he makes no attempt to do anything but only watches me. Doesn’t he have any idea how I feel right now? I felt like I was on fire and he was the one that can satisfy it... to cease this heat within me that wanted to swallow and melt me, he was the ice right now, or more it would be fighting fire with fire but that was the only way I would get cured.

I brought my eyes to his lips... it was still wet from our previous kiss and they looked so sinfully juicy right now and slightly red and plump, it cause me satisfaction that I was the only one that can make his lips like that and I wanted to do more to it so I reached for another kiss, hungry for it once again... but he placed a finger on my lip stopping me.

"You should know baby girl," he began in a smooth husky tone that gave me goosebumps. "Always start what you can finish"

I pulled his hand away and placed it close to my chest. "I intend to finish"

He raised an eyebrow at my words before sighing and leaning to me, closer to my ear, his hot breath against it caused shivers, as well as tingles, and my heartbeat increased and I found myself unable to wield it.

"I know what you want" his hand reached for my thighs and I closed them to keep his hand there and a faint chuckle vibrated from his chest.

"But..." he pulled away. "I’m not so sure you can take another"

"B-But I don’t feel pain"

"Yes I know, currently you don’t because you’re heavily stimulated because of your Male, but the aftermath will hit like a hurricane"

I bit my bottom lip rubbing my knees together and he watched me with a glint of amusement in his eyes. Dace was right... I’m definitely stimulated tenfold, I can’t control myself right now, I just want him to fuck and love me. Was this how it was for him all the time? Just how much has he been controlling himself, even now? And for my sake too?

"Tiger," I said softly, hoping the nickname I gave to him might trigger something, and it seems it did.

Because he growled deeply and kissed me hotly and I gripped his side painfully.

"Why are you making me go out of my span of control, you know I only just reverted, I can’t control my beast at my full strength"

I gasped when he parted my legs.

"As much as I want to bend you over and fuck you now baby girl I can’t but that doesn’t stop this" he fell to his knees and attempted to take my shorts off but that was when the door barged open and I gasped when I heard approaching footsteps. Dace turned in the direction of it but had no intention of moving away from his position.

Oh shit! Now that is super embarrassing now whoever that was would know that Dace was about to eat me up! It was so much better when no one was around.

The sound got closer and Emilia came into view with an unreadable expression, she paused when she saw both of us, taking a hard two between us, and huffed before a smirk played on her lips and I saw the undeniable resemblance between her and Dace.

"Nice you two are fucking now can smell it in the air"

I blushed tons of colors right now and I wanted to die in embarrassment. Those were her only words as she proceeded upstairs, that was when I felt Dace nib at my thighs and I gasped.

"W-Wait!"

"Why?" he mumbled and he looked like a kid denied candy.

"E-Emilia she’s back"

"I see no reason why that should change my goal right now" he unzips me.

"B-But Grayson isn’t here"

He stopped at my words and shifted his eyes to me.

"Doesn’t that mean something?"

There was a pause until he finally adhered to my wishes and rose to his feet. I was disappointed that we couldn’t finish what we started but I was worried about Emilia... and Grayson for not showing up.

"I have to talk with her, she could need someone"

He nodded in understanding and helped me down the island. "Make sure she’s okay, I would have gone too but I have a feeling she would want to talk with you more"

"Okay" I mumbled rushing upstairs but I stopped midway as I turned, I don’t know this funny feeling but it was odd being away from him when it was only a small distance away from him, it felt like my heart was being tucked at and part of me was missing and I suddenly felt so hollow.

"Go" he mouths without any sound. I could tell he was feeling the same way because his hazels were less dim than usual.

But I knew I needed to see Emilia so I nodded rushing up the stairs and to her room.

I cleared my throat as I arranged myself and then my hair before knocking.

"Emilia, it’s me, Emma, you okay?" I asked with another knock.

"Go away" I heard a muffled sound from her and that was my cue, she was definitely not okay... so I opened the door and stepped in shutting it from behind.

I caught her lying on the bed with her face buried in the pillow like she was crying but I heard no sound.

"Em," I said, rubbing my palms on my shorts because they were still sweaty.

"Geez your arousal is mixed with your scent you’re like a walking bowl of fragrance," she said facing me, her expression was dull too. "And your scent changes too" she added with puzzled features and then with a raised eyebrow.

"W-What do you mean?"

"Or it’s just me stupidly imagining it" she ridiculed herself with no remorse with the rest of her words going under her breath.

I sniffed my shirt like I knew how to detect a scent like a werelion does, which was stupid of me because I could only catch a whiff of Dace’s scent on my body.

"So you and Dace are fucking" she sat on her bed. "Wanna gossip about it?"

I blushed. "I’m not sure I’m comfortable with that"

It sounded like she needed an escape from something, diverting it to talk about me.

She rolled her eyes. "Like seriously when did it happen?"

I sighed sitting beside her. "I-In the woods in a very magical place," I turned to her and she blinked.

"Wow... trust Dace to take it to the next level,"

"Well it was actually me- Forget about me and Dace... what happened Emilia, why are you here alone?"

She sighed facing forward. "Nothing happened"

"What do you mean nothing happened?"

"Yeah because nothing..." She faces me with a forced smile. And I blinked in confusion.

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing"

"I seriously can’t tell really and not reading his mind makes it worse, I really wish I could. He just stood there like a hurricane was purged at him and then he took one look at me and then walked away, maybe back home I don’t know" she sighed. "Dace was right... better to tell him the truth and see how he handles it but I’m not sure how he intends to... trust me you were way better than how he handled it"

"Maybe give him time?"

"I don’t know Emma, I don’t know anymore" she leveled her gaze on her hand as she fiddled with it. "Maybe the silence is better than an actual rejection" She chuckled but it wasn’t heartfelt.

"You don’t know if it’s gonna be a rejection"

She huffed. "What else but a painful silence?"

There was a minute of silence after her heartfelt words, watching her right now I understand her pain perfectly... I thought I did the last time but I was completely wrong.

"How do you do it?"

She brought her gaze to me.

"I have completed my bond with Dace and I now understand... you have with Grayson, how do you bear to be apart from him? I’m not sure I can bear it, or..." I couldn’t even finish my words because just saying it was a heavy feeling in my chest.

"I don’t know either... Because I keep thinking... if I feel this way like my entire heart is getting crushed to the point I can’t breathe, then how does he feel?"
