Chapter 20

Liam

Ipull into my driveway, gripping the steering wheel so tight my knuckles turn white. My heart’s pounding like crazy, and I can’t shake off the image of Selene’s face, those intense eyes staring right through me. What the hell is happening to me? How can I be so drawn to her, especially after what she is?

I get out of the car, and her scent hits me: lavender mixed with something else, something wild and alluring. I gotta get rid of it. I head to the garage, grab a bucket, and start washing the car, hoping the water and soap will wash away her scent. I peel off my shirt, tossing it aside. The night’s cool, but I’m sweating like crazy.

As I scrub, my mind’s racing. I have to report what happened to Mia and the attack on Selene by those damn wolves. But then I’d have to explain how I buried Mia without telling anyone about Selene, about how she killed Mia, about feeding Selene my blood.

I’m in deep shit.

I broke the accords, and even with my mom on the council, I doubt she can save me.

And if they appoint a new protector, I don’t know if they can keep Selene safe.

I finish washing the car, but her scent lingers. I grab a rag and wipe down the seats, trying to erase every trace of her. I hear a rustle behind me and whirl around, heart racing. It’s just a stray cat, probably looking for food.

I toss the rag aside and lean against the car, breathing hard. “What the hell am I going to do?” I mutter to myself.

I walk into my house and straight into my shower. I have to get rid of any traces of her if I want to at least pretend to move on.

I strip off my clothes, ignoring the raging boner I have had since her teeth sunk into my palm.

No one had ever told me how sensual feeding was. How the rush felt better than any drug!

How I would crave it again and again.

I was screwed.

I turn the shower setting to cold, letting the water rain over me.

My breathing is still rugged as I scrub myself clean.

My cock is still hard, with precum glistening at the tip. I wrap my hand around it and stroke once, just to help with the ache in my balls.

My ass clenches in pleasure.

Maybe it is just the adrenaline of it all! Maybe that was the reason for the massive hard-on.

If I can get rid of it, then I’ll be able to think clearly.

I brace one hand on the bathroom wall using the other to massage my cock. The cold water continues to slide over me as I roughly tug at myself.

This has nothing to do with pleasure.

This is just my body reacting and me taking care of it.

I try to keep my mind blank as I thrust into my fist, but soon enough thoughts of Selene come creeping back in.

How her eyes had blazed with desire as she looked up at me with blood-soaked lips!

The way it had felt to wrap my hand around her throat.

Damn it!

My hand moves faster and faster.

I feel sick to my stomach but I cannot bring myself to stop.
