Chapter 85
Aurora
I didn’t know how long I slept, but when my eyes fluttered open, the room was dark.
Night had fallen and the house became quiet.
Devin and Dax were probably asleep.
I got up from the bed to close the curtains to avoid feeling paranoid.
Leaving the curtains open at night while I slept made me feel someone was watching me from the window.
It gives me a dreaded feeling and I end up having nightmares.
I was about to go back to bed when I noticed a figure in the dark, sitting quietly in the corner of my room.
Fear gripped me, freezing me to a spot.
I strained my eyes to get a glimpse of the stalker in my room, but the image was bleak.
I couldn’t use my wolf vision as she was asleep.
It didn’t take long before my body began to shiver and my heart pounded hard against my ribs.
“Hello!” I called, my voice came out shaky, but that was the least of my concerns.
My breath became harsh as cold ran down my spine at the person’s silence.
I could swear there was something familiar about the strange person.
The musky scent was enough to give the person away but I remained skeptical.
What if he was here to kill me?
What if he was one of my demons?
An uncomfortable silence fell into the room, except for my sharp breath intake and the person’s constant tapping of his finger against a chair.
“Who are you? Why are you here?” I asked when I found my voice, stretching my hand to take a weapon.
Quietly, I slipped the fork into the band of my shorts, remaining rooted to where I stood.
I wouldn’t let the strange man take me unaware.
Devin and Dad always emphasized self-defense and I couldn’t wait to use it.
Summoning courage, I took two steps forward with my eyes pinned on the figure. “Fucking answer me or get out of my room!” I ordered, using a commanding tone.
I wouldn’t give the strange man the impression that he scared me, even if I was fear-stricken.
I took a few steps toward him with my fingers on the bottom of the knife. “Get out of my room this instant before I call the-”
“Shh,” he silenced me, placing his finger on my lips before leaning towards me.
The scent of honey and musky invaded my nose, vanishing my anger until I melted against his touch.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“Dax? What are you doing here? Why are you-”
“Relax,” he said in a soothing voice, tucking my hair behind my ear.
“Don’t be scared, Aurora. I’m here for you.”
“You are here for me?” I repeated, staring at him in confusion. “But I don’t need you.”
“Are you sure?” he whispered, his lips brushing against my ear.
“Yes,” I nodded, walking away from me before he pulled me to him, grabbing my waist.
Before I could process what was happening, my back was already resting against the wall, trapping me.
“Dax, what are you doing?” I asked, trying to push him back but my strength failed me.
“I’m doing what I should have done the moment you healed.”
My heart raced against my chest as goosebumps enveloped my skin.
Why was Dax behaving strangely?
Was he drunk?
I tilted my head to sniff his breath, but it smelt of the spaghetti he had eaten earlier.
“What are you doing to me, Aurora? You are literally in my head. I can barely concentrate around you. You infiltrate my thoughts,” he confessed, moving close to me until his head rested on mine.
“That’s it, Dax. I think you need to get some sleep.” I patted his shoulder, trying to push him away from me, but he leaned closer until we breathed the same breath.
“I can’t sleep. I see you everywhere.”
“Go to your room,” I ordered in a firm voice, squeezing again his grip but he placed both his hands against the wall, blocking my escape route.
“Are you sure you want me to go? I know you feel the same. I know how torturing it feels to crave for someone badly. I know you feel sparks whenever our bodies collide. I know you want me,” he groaned, teasing my neck with kisses.
He trailed the kisses to my collarbone, nibbling against them and licking them before claiming my lips.
“I think you…should get…going…” I said but words failed me…no, my body failed me.
I twirled against him like a spaghetti as the effect of our connection sent wild sparks all over my body.
His hand slipped into my crop top, twirling them in between his fingers, causing a shuddering sensation within me.
“Are you sure you still want me to go? Just say the word and I won’t bother you anymore.”
“Fucking stay,” I moaned against his lip, claiming them in a passionate kiss.
I tugged at his neck as my hands got busy removing the buttons of his shirt.
He lifted me off the ground, carrying me without breaking the kiss.
My back hit the bed and he climbed over me, tearing off the top.
He took my nipple, sucking on them like a hungry baby.
I lost it at once as I twisted underneath him, my body responded to his touch and I began to feel myself buildup.
“Dax…” I moaned, pushing his head further as he licked the space between my boobs before teasing my belly button with the tip of his tongue.
I shivered, clasping my legs around him as pleasure washed over me.
“You taste so fucking good,” he commended before resuming his assault.
My hands grabbed his head, placing it on my navel as he licked it.
His hair was rough as I kept tugging at it and running my fingers through it.
I wanted more.
The slamming of the door made us halt as a figure walked into my room.
I was about to give Dax a push, but his grip was firm against me.
“Devin? What are you doing here?” I asked. If the light was on, my tomato-coloured cheeks would have given me away.
“What are you doing Devin?” I asked in shock as he pulled his trousers.
“Joining the party,” he smirked before joining Dax and me on the bed.
His hands roamed about my body before spanking me hard on my butt, while Dax’s fingers were wrapped around my erect nipples.
“You taste divine!” He growled, biting my skin softly.
I was certain my body would be covered in hickeys tomorrow.
My eyes widened in shock at the outplay of things.
I couldn’t believe that I had the brothers all to myself!
