-Laila 55 vouchers The car ride back home is silent , save for the pitter - patter sound of the rain as steady droplets hit the car . My lips still tingle where Kael kissed me , and my lips aren't the only part of me tingling . We're both still shaken ... and something more . I wish I can explain it but I can't . My mind reels from everything . It's not even just the kiss , or how warm his lips feel against mine , or how his tongue dominates mine without even trying , It's not even his words , or his readiness to kill for me ... It's none of that ! It's his gaze , the way he looks at me ... It's not just the hungry gaze of a man who wants to taste me , it's like a man who's already had me and craves more . He looks at me like I'm already his , in every way and form . It's the heat of his body , the warmth of his breath ... how he never shies away or hides his desire for me , it's everything . It's impossible not to hate this man . He's brash , and arrogant and so damn possessive , it's suffocating ! He pushes me , tests me ... tempts me ... Yet every second since we've been back , I keep ending up in positions where my body rebels a little more ... Against my will , against everything I stand for . Like now . In this moment that it's taking everything in me not to glance over at him , or worse , reach for him and pull him close enough , he's left with no choice but to finish what he started . He's driving now . His hands clutch the steering wheel , his eyes fixed on the road are narrowed in concentration . But every once in a while , he glances my way , just long enough for me to catch a glimpse of the pink tint on his lips where my gloss smeared. He didn't even bother to wipe it off . He doesn't bother to hide the bulge straining against his pants either . He just drives ... eyes front , knuckles white . And then suddenly , the car skids as he turns sharply , sending us both lurching . He pulls it into a park . " What the ... " I gasp in surprise , looking over at him with bafflement . " Kael ! You could have gotten us in a crash ! " 18:51 Mon , Oct 13 Chapter 50 65 vouchers He's out of his mind ! He has to be . I just got out of a hospital ward , I'm not trying to get sent back to one Kael doesn't look my way . He leans back against his car seat , his hands still gripping the steering wheel like we're still in motion . Something tells me it's not about moving forward , but holding back . I know because I'm doing the same ... I've been doing the same . The traitorous thought has me clenching my thighs . " Why didn't you tell him ? " His tone is tight and controlled , Him ? Who ? The desire clouding my mind fades . I'm not sure what Kael's talking about . It has him so agitated already , but I'm drawing a blank . " Who ? " I ask him uncertainly . " Who else ? " He responds with a question of his own . Throwing a chilling glare my way , Cameron ... it has to be . " He said ... " I was saying , but Kael cuts in . " I don't care what he said , Laila ! " He asserts . " I don't give a fuck about him , and I don't want to know what he said ! Fuck him ! ... " He trails off , drawing in a sharp breath . " I want to know what you said , Or rather , what you didn't say My brows furrow slightly . What is he on about ? " Why didn't you tell him she's the reason you fell ? " He asks again . " Why hide the truth that his wife is a two faced bitch ? To spare his feelings ? " So that's what this is about . I blink . I can't answer Kael's question . Because I'm not sure myself. I finally had the opportunity to call Sarah out on her bullshit and make Cameron see her for who she truly is . I had to take a fall to get it too , literally ... but the chance was right in front of me , and I didn't take it . I just couldn't . I couldn't look him in the eyes and tell him the woman he loves , his true mate , is not as pure and innocent as he thinks she is . I couldn't look him in the eyes and tell him half the things he knows about what happened three years ago are all lies . How could I ? The truth that Sarah had poisoned their own daughter to get rid of me , had been hard for me to 18:51 Mon , Oct 13 Chapter 50 ... : ( 404 65 vouchers accept . I was wrecked for months and couldn't come to terms with it , and I'm not the one in love with her . But Cameron ... It'll shatter him . Kelly's the most important thing to him and he'll be devastated . That's probably what Kael wants . The cruel bastard . He's fuming that I let the chance slip away . I don't regret it . Cameron needs to untangle himself from Sarah's deceit himself . It's not something anyone can save him from . And then there's Kelly ... she's still just a child . She didn't deserve anything she's already been through . " Or are you just scared ... to face the reality that Cameron already knows the truth ? " Kael's chilling cold words draw me out of my reverie . " Scared to confront the reality that he chose her either way ? " My eyes dart over to him . He's staring at me now , his gaze is piercing , like he sees right through me . Like he knows my deepest darkest secrets . " I don't know what you're talking about , Kael . " I murmur beneath my breath . " Don't you ? " He scoffs beneath his breath , " Did it never cross your mind that Cameron being with Sarah was never about the mate bond , or love , or any of that nonsense , but about being the first Blackwood in five generations to be blessed with a true mate bond ? " A sly smirk stretches his lips . I turn my face away , but that doesn't stop him . " Did it never occur to you that Cameron's not as innocent as you make him out to be ? That he dumped you not because Sarah was the better woman but because she could give him what you couldn't ... legitimacy ? " My hands clench into fists at my sides . The sacred mate bond only true Alphas are blessed with . Our kind have always had an obsession with that superstition . Cameron being with Sarah ... it really is the only way he qualifies to be Alpha over Kael . Kael's words hit ... cruelly , but I keep a blank expression . " Didn't you take my hand to make him regret choosing her ? " " Now that we're back here , you don't feel like being the villain anymore ? Because you know now that Cameron still has you in his heart ? " Kael chuckles darkly . " You can protect him from me , Laila . Even from her . But you can't protect him from himself ... " My heart stutters , but my frown deepens . " Kael , that's enough . " " I've had enough of this ... " My eyes are narrowed darkly . " Of you . " Kael eyes narrow , he growls lowly . " Fuck that , Laila . Fuck this ! " 18:51 Mon , Oct 13 Chapter 30 ( 0 ) 85 vouchers He leans over , faster than I can move away . His hand goes around my neck , keeping me steady , and his lips hover for just a second , his hot breath crashing over me , my pulse trembles ... before he crashes his lips down on mine . 田
