The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

70 Friends …

Lyla

Nathan’s kiss took me completely unawares ,

But it’s okay- friends kiss all the time .

Especially ones that haven’t seen each other for four

years .

It was soft at first , almost as if he was hesitating , as though he needed to test the waters , to make sure he hadn’t crossed a line .

But then , the next instant , the kiss deepened .

The kiss was filled with regret , pain , longing and desire that I didn’t know where it came from .

But I stood still , allowing him .

His hand gently rested on the small of my back , pulling me closer .

I melted into him , instinctively gripping the fabric of his shirt to anchor myself .

The umbrella had been long forgotten and the rain pelted on us but Nathan didn’t seem to notice .

My heart pounded in my chest as he pulled me even closer – the kisses were becoming feverish , almost too passionate , this was not a friend’s kiss .

I moved against him , protesting with my body since my mouth was pressed on his .

After a second of wriggling and trying to leave his arms , he pulled back slightly and rested his forehead on mine , both of us breathing heavily .

His eyes searched mine – it was dark and filled with emotion as if he was asking questions without words .

My lips still tingled from the kiss .

“ I’m sorry ” he whispered as his thumb brushed against my cheek , though there was no regret in his voice .

“ I couldn’t … I couldn’t help it .

I nodded ; I didn’t want to talk about what happened .

“ Can we go to my house ? The bus stop is two blocks away …

“ I brought a car , ” he said quietly , nodding to the Black Sedan parked at the side of the road as he picked up the discarded umbrella on the road .

“ C’mon , let’s go .

”

My apartment was small but warm .

It was love at first sight from the first day I walked into it .

It was compact but cozy and big enough for me but I loved the way the rooms connected making it easier to cover the entire house in a few minutes .

My hands trembled slightly as I unlocked the door .

I pushed it open and stepped inside , flipping on the lights as I motioned to Nathan to follow suit .

His presence filled up my tiny space

could tell he was conscious of his wet , dripping clothes …

But that didn’t matter now , at least to me .

I couldn’t believe he was standing here , in my apartment , after all these years .

He looked different ; the boyish face I was used to had been replaced with a sharp line on his jaw and a day – old stubble .

His blond hair was wet with some of its strands clinging to his forehead .

His clear blue eyes were inspecting the room with an unreadable expression .

There was a time when I would tell myself that I wanted my husband to be as handsome as

70 Friends .

.

Nathan … that dream was still valid .

I closed the door behind me and both of us stood there for a moment , dripping wet , unsure of what to say next .

“ You abandoned me , Nathan ,” I finally broke the silence , fighting the tears at the back of my throat .

I had wanted to hold it in , to act like seeing him again didn’t affect me , but I couldn’t hold

back .
