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

036 – Team Lucy

ADAN STONE.

“Do you think, after you lied straight to

my face, I have enough reason to trust you…” I didn’t want to tell her that, but it

came out of frustration.

Then Aeon’s words earlier suddenly came

back.

‘Some people are not comfortable sharing things that hurt them.”

My gaze fell to her face. She had her head down and was biting her bottom lip so hard that I was sure she would be tasting blood soon, while her arms were hugging her body as if she was cold.

I cupped her face and tilted it up, so I could meet her gaze. Frustration was flitting across her eyes. “Lucy… I want

you to be honest with me.”

Her hands moved away from her body as she cupped my cheeks, and I let go of my hands on hers. “Alpha Stone…”

“Adan…” I told her.

A weak smile curled on her lips before she opened them to speak again. “Adan… Just give me time. It might just be a name for you, but… for me…”

‘Some people are not comfortable sharing things that hurt them.’

“It’s okay if you need more time.”

Her arms wrapped around my neck as she slammed her body against mine, hugging me tightly. “Thank you! I promise you, when I’m ready to talk about my father,

you will be the first to know. His name is Lucien. That’s all I can offer you now.”

My hand smoothed over her hair as I let

out a sigh.

Lucien. I would meet you one day.

My arms snaked around her body as I

hugged her tighter, only for her to pull back and cup my face again.

“Alpha Stone…”

“Adan…” My brows furrowed at her.

“Adan, can I kiss you?” She asked in a very alluring voice, and I was smitten

again.

My eyes darted to her parted, wet lips. Are you trying to make up for all the lies?”

“I promised I would make it up tonight, Adan… but now, I just want to feel your…”

I didn’t let her finish and crushed my lips against her, my hands tightening their hold on her waist as I pressed her closer

to my body.

A low whimper escaped her throat as I plunged my tongue into her mouth and

began kissing her bruisingly hard. This was my only way of punishing her because even if I hated her actions, I was

already on the losing end.

Lucy might be a fucking witch because I couldn’t stop falling for her trap. I knew she had me already wrapped around her fingers, and I was just letting her.

“Are you ready?” I asked her, leaning my

arm on the door frame as I let my eyes scan her perfect form while she checked

herself in the bathroom mirror.

Lucy was wearing a short, tight-fitting

halter blue dress that showed off her

perfect curves, and if I was not taking her to meet my family, I would probably end up locking us in my suite now.
