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

Chapter 0301

"No, I don't want those things." Well yes, but not in how he is implying. George is the closest I got to thinking I could choose someone to be with me, but his recent actions have made me think the complete opposite now. I'd much rather be alone than be with George, these small flirty fleeting moments with Knox has shown me that. Knowing Knox for only a few days has already opened my eyes to who I thought George was, and who he really is. "Then what do you want Red?" He asks me, his voice low... his eyes not leaving mine.

"A bit of fun. We seem to have a natural chemistry, a natural attraction to one another. We could just keep it casual...no one would need to know. What's the harm in exploring that." "Ah, that scratch that needs itching?"

"Precisely. I don't expect commitment, I know that you will go back to training soon and we need not think of each other again." I casually offer, my hands swiping out.

I know as soon as I say it that this wouldn't be possible for me, but if having just a small amount of him means I have to make this bargain...then so be it.
