BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Demon by Cassandra M

050- Do You Fancy Her?

LUCY.

Althea and Blade had already left the dining area and gone to the seating room, leaving me and Adan at the table. The Omegas were back inside the packhouse and had begun clearing up the dining table.

“I’ll take Althea to a guest room,” I told Adan as I stood up from my seat.

Adan pushed his chair back and stood up as well, and in just a few seconds, his arms were around me as he pulled me closer to him. “Wait for Lena. She’s coming with you.”

“You don’t trust I can be a good host?” I asked, but I already knew why he wanted

Lena with me.

His hand tucked the stray hairs behind my ear before he brushed his knuckles against

my cheek. “I don’t trust anyone when it

comes to you, Lucy.”

“But we need to trust Althea if we want her

help.”

“I know. But just let me be cautious. I never had supernaturals, aside from shifters, around me, and it is making me uneasy that you can just slip away or be taken away without me knowing.”

I nodded my head as I hooked my arms around his neck, and a smile slowly made its way to my face. “Are you scared to lose me, Alpha Stone?”

He put his hands on my waist and gave me a tight squeeze. “Why do you think I’m doing this?”

“I know you wanted me here because of the

awesome sex that I can give to you, but… I want to know. Do you fancy the witch?” I licked my lips, trying to smile, but in reality,

I knew his answer would either make or

break me.

“Are you jealous of her?”

Of course, he would never answer that.

“Maybe, maybe not.” I unwrapped my arms from around his neck and pivoted my body

around to break free from his hold.

But before I could walk away, his hand coiled

around my wrist as he pulled me back, slamming my chest against his. His hand went to grip my jaw before he slowly leaned

forward.

“The only female I fancy is the one in my

arms right now.”

Heat coiled from my stomach while my heart

did a somersault in my chest with his words.

Adan’s lips were closing in on mine. I’d been wanting to kiss him all day, so I didn’t wait for him to capture my lips but instead met him halfway.
