The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin Chapter 43. When it’s Enough

ROYCE.

My heart’s racing as she sits there in front of

me, looking the perfect image of the sexy little thing she is.

Her seductive, tantalising behaviour is luring me in and I’m falling.


Just the way I began falling for her without seeing her… the reason I began to struggle to connect with my ex…

I’m not falling because I know I’ve fallen with someone I shouldn’t fall for.

And this time, I know she’s not flirting on purpose. It’s not to get to me, but if only she knew this got to me worse. I want to yank her close and kiss her senseless, but how do I do that when I’m the worst thing for her?

Being a part of my life is nothing I’d wish on anyone… even if I wasn’t her teacher, being with me… would be hell.

My gaze dips to those plump lips, the corner. smeared with cream that I just want to lick right off… But I don’t- I can’t.

Instead, I reach up. Brushing my thumb across the corner of her mouth, she turns her head instinctively and licks the cream off my finger. Those pretty lush lips wrapping

around them.

Fuck…

She acts feisty; she acts like she’s the queen of zero fucks, but there’s a vulnerability

inside of her that fucks with my mind. She acts brave, to show the world she’s dealing, when I know she’s struggled with more things than she’ll ever voice out aloud.

I want to shield her from it all… I’m ready to, and I don’t know why.

But I know the greatest thing I need to

protect her from is my family… If only it was just them… but the

them.

Am I strong enough to take them both, or will I fuck this up even more?

The sound of footsteps makes me jerk back, my heart thudding as I stride towards the sink, just as one of the Westwood boys

enters.

“How long are you… wow, what happened here?” Ares asks, and I know he’s watching

us sharply.

“Food fight.” Skyla says, chuckling lightly,

but her heart’s still racing.

Glad he hasn’t shifted and can’t hear that. I

wash my hands and face in the sink. I’m a mess though, there’s whipped cream

everywhere…

I almost smile. I can’t deny that it was fun.

“Well, the final round is going to start

soon.” Ares says.

“Oh yeah, let me finish the drinks. We’re coming.” Skyla sounds a bit distracted.

“Sure…” He replies before I hear him walk out. I turn to Skyla to see she’s wiping her face and neck.

“I’m actually going to head out. I’m going to get this all over everything if I stay.” I say

quietly.

She looks at me, and I think I see the flicker

of regret in her eyes.

Fuck, I hate that I’m making her feel like she’s done something wrong.

“Your drink… it’s still hot yet.” She says holding up a black cat-shaped mug.

Is that your way of asking me to stay for longer?

I walk over to her, trying not to let her scent get to me as I pick up one of the hot

chocolate mugs.
