And Then There Were Four

"Not yet-" I cried out as he thrust harder, obviously unhappy with my response by the sound of the growl that left his lips. The movement tipped me over the edge as I came, my core clenching around his cock, begging to milk every last drop from him. But instead of cumming inside of me, he quickly pulled out and spilled himself into his hand. I didn't know why he pulled out, but I was pleased. The last thing I wanted was to get pregnant, and glancing over my shoulder at him, I saw the confliction on his face. His brows knitted together before going lax, and without glancing at me, he stood to his feet and made his way towards the bathroom. I wasn't sure what had just happened, but the drunken feeling I had before was long gone after the sexual pleasure he had pushed through me.

Falling back onto the soft white pillows of my bed, I pulled the blankets around me, staring at the ceiling and trying to think why he would suddenly act the way he did. I wasn't sure if it was because I said no to marking me, or perhaps I had done something wrong during

If it was the marking, I hadn't meant to upset him. I just wasn't ready to take the mate mark and start bearing children yet. I was only eighteen, and being a mother at this age wasn't something I wanted. Not to mention, I didn't want some mate mark telling me who I loved. I wanted to feel that love and connection without a mark.

sex.

The moment he came back, I propped my head up on my hand and stared at him.

"What's wrong?" My question seemed to stop him in his tracks as he stood before me completely naked, looking like a ripped Tilly's model waiting to go on deck.

Shrugging his shoulders, he grabbed his pants and began to get dressed. "Nothing. Why would something be wrong?"

I wasn't stupid, and the fact he literally responded the way he did made me wonder if he thought I was. "I'm sorry I said no..."

Lucas scoffed at my comment as he shook his head. "Do you really think that bothered me? I'm not bothered you said no. Honestly, it's best you did."

"What?" Shock filled me as I listened to him. "What do you mean, it's best?"

He didn't bother giving me an

answer as he pulled his shirt over his head and covered up the gorgeous muscles of his body. His dark hair was disheveled, standing up on end, and clearly just-fucked. It was clear he was leaving, and as he turned, I couldn't help but feel disgusted with myself in a way.

"Are you going to refuse to answer me?" The snapped remark was unexpected, but he paused and a deep breath escaped his lips before he turned to me once more.

"I don't have to say anything, Cassie.

don't

Have you not realized you're no longer a pampered princess here? We are exactly the same, and as great as the sex just was... we tast have time for things like relationships. Isn't that right?"

OMS

I had never said I didn't have time for a relationship, but I had said I would never have sex with Lucas-and it happened anyways.

Gripping the sheets around me, I stood to my feet and stormed towards him.

"You're acting like an asshole right now, and all I'm trying to do is see what's the matter with you. You went from loving and passionate to not giving a fuck at all."

Lucas didn't seem the least bit bothered by what I had to say, and even though I was looking for something to tell me what was on his mind, he just stared at me with complete indifference.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

"It was fun, Cassie. But I do have to go," he said firmly as he glared at me, "perhaps if you're ever in need, we can do this again. If not, well, that's fine too."

I wasn't sure what the hell just

happened, but as he closed the door

behind him, I stood there mouth

wide open with what I was sure would be nothing but shock written all across my face. "What a complete asshole!"
