Chapter-41. The ride(18+)

[Xanthea]

My eyelids fluttered to his eyes, trying to decipher his gaze.

"T-thank you..." I said.

He cocked a brow, tilting his head.

I lowered my gaze and continued.

"... for bringing me here."

"Mostly canary serenades the vocal cord. Seems like a cat did that job this time," he chuckled slightly, teasing me.

"I saw a canary too..." I said, keeping my gaze fixed on the grass. "... as a healing partner of a shape shifting serpent." God knows why I was telling him that.

"Now, did you? Hmm. Their voices have healing abilities," he said, and I looked at him.

"Do you... did you... have a healing partner?" I asked.

"Why this sudden interest in me?"

"I-I am not-"

"You're not interested in me? I never was an interesting person to start with. Nyssa says I am the most boring man she has met."

A knot tightened in my stomach at the mention of Nyssa's name.

"No, Alpha. That's not-"

Before I could say a word more, Raven placed his finger on my lips.

"Butterflies..." he whispered, leaning closer to my face.

"B-butterflies?" I lifted my gaze to his eyes that lingered on my lips.

He lifted the corner of his lips.

"Those creatures are too graceful for me, aren't they?"

"N-no-"

"Who were you expecting to be my healing partner?" His voice darkened. "A rhinoceros?" He said with utmost seriousness. Pffft!

I leaned back instantly, covered my mouth with my hand, suppressing my laughter as I shook my head.

"I am sorry. I-I didn't mean to..."

He held my hand and my body tensed up slightly.

"Apologizing for no reason is a very bad habit of yours. It ruins... good moments..." he grunted, lowering my hand from my mouth. "I intended that to be funny, so I could find out if I could make you laugh. But you stole that laughter from me. I need compensation." He said in an impassive tone.

Unconsciously staying in an eye lock with him for a while, I averted my gaze. A fluttering discomfort erupted in my belly. Almost like a heated jitter that coursed through my body.

My heart was racing, my chest heaving faster, and I didn't know what to say.

Was he... flirting?

He placed his slightly icy fingers on my heated face. I shuddered as tantalizing goosebumps ran through my body. I shut my eyes, relishing on his cold touch as he caressed my cheeks. I must be out of my mind.

What am I doing? It seems as though I am losing control over my own body.

I preferred the Raven, who always had a scowl on his face, who was always angry. At least, I could know for sure that I had to stay on guard around him.

But right now, I don't know if I should be on guard. If yes, then... how?

He was walking right through all the emotional walls I had created and I felt so helpless.
