The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 91

Chapter 91
“You look beautiful.”
My breath catches as he slowly turns his head to look at me,
“-as you always do… but more so tonight.”
I find myself smiling at the compliment and laugh softly. My response shocking him as he tenses up but relaxes when he sees the smile on my face.
“Thank you. You don’t look so terrible yourself.”
His lips quirked up as he brought the cup to his mouth. I watch-too intensely- his Adams apple bob when he downs the drink. Setting the empty glass down onto the steel platter a new waiter passing by was holding, he gives me a slight smile that just barely pulled up his lips.
“If I didn’t know better, my little wildflower, I would say you were trying to flirt with me.”

His sudden statement had me coughing from the outrageousness of his comment. Did he not just call me beautiful? Was he not the one that started this? I look at him, a little surprised from his bold statement and couldn’t resist to scoff.
“Then it’s good that you know better. I was simply trying to be nice, Alpha Locksworth. I’m afraid I don’t fit into the category of the women falling weak to your charms.”
Liar.
Raizel smirks, suddenly taking the drink from my hand and setting it down. His warmth kissed mine and it felt like I’ve been burned. His touch lingering on the skin it made contact with. His arm suddenly lays around my waist, bringing me to his chest as he steadied us. His face got closer and closer until he stops just a few inches away.
“Somehow, I don’t believe you.”
His eyes fell to my lips as I swallowed. My throat constricting painfully as a sinful thoughts wedged its way into my mind.
“Fortunately, I didn’t ask you to.”
I whispered. His eyes met mine and a spark of attraction lights up between us. Unmeasurable attraction, undeniable temptation… He was everything a forbidden fruit was meant to be. I was ready to pull back, ready to awaken myself from this short, deluded dream but his grip on my waist hold me there.
“Dance with me.”
He orders huskily.
I could barely manage a nod, knowing that denying him of a dance was not in my best interest. Not when that look he was giving me reminded me so much of a predatorily look I often give the rogues in my ‘care’. The infamous I-dare-you-to-even-try look. Not that it was in any of my interest to reject him as I was admittedly starved of his presence for the last few days.
If I couldn’t have him, what harm could one little dance do?
“Okay.”
He breathes out, leading us to the center of the dance floor with his arm still attached to my waist. I’m aware of everyone watching our every move, including Noah and Mailia, even Landon, Hestia and my parents. I know and hear all the murmurs of shock and questions spreading around the air but I couldn’t bring myself to care.
