Strings of Fate

173- Fulfillment and fantasies

The moment Alpha Kohen leaves, Bellamy releases me and spins my chair to face him. I barely have time to breathe before he presses his lips to mine. This k*ss is passionate and a little out of control. Bellamy doesn’t hesitate or hold anything back. He’s holding me so tight that I can’t even move to wrap my arms around him. I start getting lightheaded and he must be too because he finally pulls back, breathing heavily. I can feel him purring deep in his chest. Still squeezing me tight, he’s as breathless as I am when he breathes out his confession.

“I love you.” He sounds absolutely elated. I am probably so bright red that I could outshine a stop sign. Even Bellamy looks a little flushed for once. I somehow end up in a slightly hysterical giggle.

“I can’t believe I said it first.” I admit. Bellamy leans back to look me in the eye, his own eyes are practically glowing with pleasure.

To be honest… I can’t believe you said it first either. Although I might have thought about it a few times. I wasn’t sure how you would… well. I wasn’t sure it was the right time.” He says awkwardly.

“You thought I’d freak out and hide in a corner or run away.” I say bluntly. Bellamy winces a little.

“Maybe?” He says hesitantly. I roll my eyes.

“It’s fine. You’re probably not wrong. I have quite literally run away enough times to deserve a bit of doubt when it comes to this kind of thing.” I agree reluctantly. Bellamy shrugs but he doesn’t really seem bothered by it. In fact he looks very distracted. He leans down to press a k*ss against my n*ck. He moves to k*ss me properly again but my hesitation must show on my face or in my b*dy language because Bellamy stops and puts what I would have to

describe as the smallest possible amount of distance between us.

“What’s wrong?” He asks softly. My eyes dart to the kitchen doorway. He follows my gaze and understanding crosses

his face.

“Ah.” He says simply. I nod.

“Megan or Darrien could walk in and I’m just… this is just…” I trail off and hide my face against his chest.

“You’re shy, and this is a bit much for you.” He finishes for me. I nod without uncovering my face. I feel Bellamy press a k*ss to my hair then he releases me and steps away. I almost topple off of my seat without him to support me. I didn’t realise I was leaning on him so much. Bellamy catches me and steadies me. He then takes my hand and tugs me to my feet. Without a word he leads me to his office. Once we’re inside he turns, closes the door and locks it. I didn’t even know this door COULD lock. Bellamy immediately turns back to me and his hands drop to my waist.

He takes a few steps forward and he lowers me onto his desk.
