142-I Will Disappoint You
“Ah! I can’t believe this happened,” Maddox sighed, hold- ing me tightly in his arms while we lay on the top of his bike. He made an excellent adjustment.
“Why?” I asked, feeling cold, but his arms were helpful. We have dressed up, but I didn’t wear the jacket again. It was still drizzling, but we were wild tonight. It seemed as though nothing else mattered for now.
“You were so reluctant to even look at me,” he com- plained, staring at the sky. I lifted my head from his chest and folded my arms over his chest.
“I wasn’t feeling any attraction to your guy anymore,” I said, not lying. I lost that feeling of wanting to be with some- one after that night, but things were beginning to change. I had been feeling this weird sensation in my heart for Helel and Maddox, but I didn’t want to pick one in the moment. In short, I was confused about who to give a chance. With Helel’s messed-up plan to catch Colt, it was easy for me to give Mad- dox a chance.
“You are feeling attracted to me now, aren’t you?” he asked, but before I could answer him, he added himself, “I don’t know why, but I feel like I wouldn’t like sharing you with anyone anymore. I want you to be exclusive to me, Beatrice,” Maddox said as he lowered his eyes to look at my face. I wasn’ t sure about that, though.
“About that–,” I lifted my body from his chest and cleared my throat, “I don’t think I am ready to be exclusive with any one of you yet. I am not saying I will be sleeping with others, but I want to see how it goes. Anyway, your mother is going to cause a lot of ruckus when my mother comes home. So I don’t know where that will lead to,” I sighed, jumped off the bike and grabbing the leather jacket from the ground to brush it clean and wear it.
“You can take your time, but I am telling you in advance, I don’t want to see you with anyone else.” He repeated himself again, straightening his posture and staring at me.
“Beatrice! I know you wanted to be exclusive to one of us before. I am ready for it,” he argued as he followed me.
“I am not sure what happened. I just don’t want to be ex- clusive to you for now. But I am assuring you that I am not sleeping with your brothers behind your back. Let’s be loyal and show each other if we are trust-worthy,” I stated, trying to explain to him why I cannot fall hard for him.
I fear heartbreak.
At the moment, I didn’t even remember that I was not supposed to get this close to anyone before telling them. about my true identity.
“Fine. Let’s stay like this for now, but remember, you men- tioned loyalty. Don’t step back from it,” Maddox approached me in haste and turned me around, holding me by my arms. and staring at my face.
“I will not,” I answered, watching him bend over and gen- tly press his lips against mine. I let him sink deeper and shoved my tongue into his mouth.
He must be starving to suck my tongue as if his life de- pended on it. I knew our kiss was going to turn into a steamy session once again, so I broke the kiss but kept my hands on his chest.
“Can I stay in your room tonight?” he asked, his eyes still on my lips.
“Don’t even ask it twice,” I answered, giving him a quick peck on his lips, and then walking over to his bike. “Let’s go home now,” I said as I hopped onto his bike.
I was tired and probably getting sick of staying in the cold for so many hours. But my heart was at ease. I have felt gen- uine love in Maddox’s eyes.
Once we returned home, I was welcomed by Helel in the living room. Maddox had rushed upstairs to change while I went to the kitchen to grab hot tea.
I didn’t even remember Sofia, but luckily, she was long asleep in her bedroom. Helel walked in just as I was reaching for the shelf on top. He came right behind me and stretched his arm up to get me the mug I wanted. I pulled away from him and stared at his face, still angry with him.
“I don’t understand why you are so angry with me. I know you have always seen him as your friend, but he lied to you,” Helel started talking before I could demand he say anything.
“Beatrice! He is a weredragon,” he said, then hunched over to stare at my face for my reaction. “He lied to us. They are clever and cunning. I have a feeling he is only getting clos- er to you so that he can earn your trust and then call you any- where and abduct you. I was just looking out for you,” he yammered in a low tone.
“Then you should have told me so. You fucking fooled me,” I complained, feeling agitated at how he described my kind.
“Beatrice! You are innocent. I was frightened Colt would say all the right things to make you feel like he is not that bad dragon and all. I couldn’t risk losing you, dammit.” He grunted when he felt like he was unable to convince me. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
He could have persuaded me if I hadn’t been a weredrag- on myself.
“Are all weredragons bad?” I asked, staring at his reaction.
He turned to me with his hands on his waist and nodded.
“They are evil. They will do anything to ruin everything they touch. They have killed and wiped off packs after packs until we finally won and shunned them into the dark world. Beatrice! If any of them came here and bred, we are done.” Helel’s description of why the weredragons shouldn’t be al- lowed in their land shocked me.
There was no way they would ever accept me once the truth came out.
“Anyway, I didn’t want to ruin your night because it seems like you had quite a lot of fun.” Helel added as he pointed at my top. I was wearing it upside down.
“This—,” I gasped, feeling embarrassed in front of him.
“So that was all you needed to drop me?” He let out a little sarcastic smile and stepped back from me.
“One mistake? The one where I was genuinely thinking about your safety?” He continued to shake his head, his eyes forming mist.
I couldn’t even lie to him. He knew his brother fucked me good.
