My Hockey Alpha Chapter 196

Unwanted Attention

Nina

“Nina,” Justin said, shaking my arm. “What are you doing?”

I blinked, shaking my head as I returned to my senses. “S-Sorry,” I said. “Just zoned out.”

Justin was silent. When I looked at him, he looked angry and jealous, and his lips were pressed into a thin line.

“Did you enjoy your dance?” he asked, folding his arms across his chest.

I wanted to correct him and remind him that we weren’t together as a couple, but for some reason, I was too dazed by my encounter with Eli to speak up. So I simply shook my head and stared at the floor. “Not really,” I replied. “I wouldn’t have danced with him if it weren’t for the social pressure.”

Justin seemed satisfied by this, and before I could stop him, he suddenly grabbed me by the wrist a little too hard and pulled me in. In an instant, he pressed his lips firmly against mine, so hard it almost hurt. Then, when he finally pulled away, he leaned in close to me and whispered something in my ear.

“Come back to my place later,” he whispered, planting a kiss on my neck. “I think it’s time we finally take our relationship further.”

As Justin spoke, I felt myself shudder. And in an odd way, I almost felt scared of him at that moment. I couldn’t explain it, but his sudden shift in demeanor was a bit frightening, and I didn’t know what to say.
