The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

ASHANTI'S POV.

I didn't expect Alpha Reagan to show up here again today after the stunt I pulled this morning, but here he is, graciously striding into the living room in all his glory, looking handsome and pristine like always. Unconsciously, I rise up from the couch I'm sitting on and stay planted on my feet as I watch him come over to meet me. My face turns molten red and the flush spreads from my cheeks to my face when he stops in front of me and smiles. We are barely inches away from each other and I don't like it. Being this close to him does something catastrophic to my self-restraint. Out of nowhere, I have this burning urge to wrap my arms around his neck and draw him even closer so our bodies can fit like two interlocking puzzle pieces.

I miss him dearly.

The fact that I'm terribly upset with him seems to have flown out of my brain and now I'm senseless and his sweet scent is feeling my nostrils and my heart is playing hopscotch in my chest and I'm nearly breathless. I hate that he still has this effect on me.

"Hello baby."

Two words and he has found the key to my chest, unlocked it and stolen my heart all over again. I nearly trip. I want to say something but I'm at a loss for words so I just keep ogling at him like an idiot. Sparks break out across my skin at the feel of his palm slicking around my waist and planting itself on the small of my back. He does what I was too afraid to do; interlocks my body with his. His starling brown eyes never leave mine as his fingers delicately bruh across my neck.

His touch is electric and sweet at the same time. A buzz spreads through my body like a bushfire when his forehead touches mine. The sweetness of the gesture has my heart threatening to beat itself straight out of my chest.

This man makes me burn!

Lust slams into me like a fist to the face and before I know it, I'm on my toes, connecting my lips with his and leading us into a ferocious kiss that nearly seizes all the breath from my lungs.

Shivers run down my spine as our lips battle with each other and liquid heat spreads through my veins. Kissing him is addictive. Thrilling!

But not enough to keep the anger in my heart at bay for two long.

Reality hits me like a bucket of ice water. I snap eyes wide open amidst the kiss and I'm suddenly appalled by the sight of his face leaning too close to mine and his lips still entangled mine. I furiously tear my lips from his and break out of his hold, taking several steps back and trying to catch my breath at the same time. He shoots me a confused look.

A confused look?
