Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond

0065

Chapter Kaia POV

He pulls me onto the dance floor as soft romantic music plays in the background, changing from the pop like beat that was on only a moment ago.

I've never danced to intimately...not even on my own wedding day.

I'm not really sure what to expect.

Continuing to hold my hand, Hector slowly spins me into him, my breathing fluttering slightly by the move.

His other hand firmly places itself on my lower back, my top rising slightly against his hold. I can feel the pads of his fingers touching my exposed skin, which must only be milimetres in-between the hem of my top and the waistband of my jeans...but for how it feels...it could be my entire body exposed nakedly to him. Damn this mate bond.

He pulls me closer into him and it could only be the two of us in this pack hall for all I care. Everybody else has faded away into the shadows.

His warm breath dances its own dance upon my temple before his lips almost touch the tip of my ear. I think if he wasn't holding me so firmly, I would also melt away into the shadows.

I hate myself for being so easily distracted by him.

I hate myself because I was still angry at him. I didn't want to dance, I wanted to shout at him, claw at him. Let him feel even an ounce of the pain I have felt.
