My eyes widened and he tore my hands apart by grabbing one, holding it above his head after he lowered himself in a bow, my Luna, I will forever be indebted to you if this remains secret.
I giggled at his behavior, pulling my hand away from his and scooting over to get off the bed, I don’t tell secrets, I assured him, sliding off of the bed yet my leg was numb, which sent me toward the floor.
He caught me efficiently and I gasped, not because I was expecting to hit the floor, but because when he grabbed me my body kept falling and the shirt rode up, exposing everything up to my ribs. His left hand was squeezing the piece of the shirt under my armpit, while the other was completely cupped over my breast.
At that moment, the door opened and we looked over in unison, watching Axel enter but freeze upon seeing our positions.
His eyes locked onto his hands and darkened, a loud growl emitting from his chest that made Danny rip away from me with a nervous laugh and I fell anyways, Alpha, he grinned nervously as Axel began walking over, wow, you have such terrible timing, really, it’s kind of funny because this is not what it looks like ! She actually-eek ! He released a shrill, ear-piercing shriek when Axel roughly shoved his back to the wall and pinned him there with his forearm.
She fell ? He added, though it sounded like a question, and he winced as if preparing to be hit. I stood up in alarm, watching them intently.
Don’t you ever put your fucking hands on my girl, he stared at him with zero emotion in his eyes then shifted his arm up, causing Danny to wheeze and start choking.
I watched in horror, my limbs going weak and I grew faint. Danny’s struggle for air reminded me of myself and I physically felt what he was experiencing due to memory. My throat swelled and it felt like a tight pressure was wrapping around it, even my chest felt like it was being compressed and it grew difficult for me to breathe.
Stop it, please ! Let him go ! I managed to spit out in a whimper, my heart pounding ferociously as goosebumps covered my skin and made me take a fearful step back.
He released him immediately, his body still tense and his jaw was clenched. Danny gasped and ran out of the room, a string of apologies leaving his mouth and Blaine shot me a pitied look before chasing after him.
I held my hands to my chest and stared at him, expecting my fear to push me into submission, instead my feet led me up to him and I took his hand in mine.
I’m your girl, I reassured, quickly overcoming the anxiousness and pushing myself onto my tip-toes, pressing a kiss on his cheek, then tilting my head back to stare up at him. He appeared relaxed once again and a tiny smile morphed on his lips, the same one soon taking place on mine.
His free hand raised to my jaw and he connected our lips, so I put my hand over his chest and pressed my body into his. Our moment didn’t last because he abruptly broke off and groaned, the tips of his fingers twirling around strands of my hair.
I forgot that was today, he grumbled, catching my confusion and sighing, Gabbie just mind-linked reminding me that it’s Whitney’s birthday, we have plans to go night swimming when the sun goes down, he explained.
I’ve always loved swimming ! My father used to call me a mermaid because I lived in the water, he always said it was impossible getting me out.
I want to go ! I grinned, seeing him raise a brow with not nearly as much excitement as me.
Then we’ll go, beautiful, he smiled, his eyes roaming my face with an unknown gleam in them. I hugged him and giggled excitedly, laying my head against his chest with a lingering smile.
So what did you say to my father ? I asked, receiving a period of silence that went on longer than I liked.
That he can’t expect a spot in your life just because he’s your parent, he replied, warming me up by draping his arms around my body and holding me closely. I smiled wider and closed my eyes, breathing in his warm fragrance and my addiction to him grew.
Is this what being truly loved feels like ?
?
Please give me back my clothes, I changed my mind, I frowned, hearing shuffling outside of the bathroom door while I continued hugging myself.
Gabbie bought me a bikini, which I wasn’t aware was so revealing until after she took my clothes and forced me to change into it. I never used to worry about my body, but I’m afraid Axel will find this much skin disgusting and change his mind about me.
My first night here, he saw my collar and most of my back because I was slouched over in the bubbly bath water. This would be revealing almost everything those bubbles hid.
It’s dark out, Angel, nobody can really see you, besides, they’re all already there. I promised I’d bring you with me, she answered through the door and I averted my gaze to the mirror, scanning over my body for the sixth time.
The top was very padded, falsely giving the illusion that my breasts were full, and the bottoms were tight on me, showing off every detail of my butt and also giving the illusion it was there. It didn’t help that the bottoms were a bit high up, displaying most of my skin.
Are you sure ? I asked, hearing her hum positively in reply. I slowly opened the door and stepped out, watching her eyes scan me from head to toe, a huge smile finding her face.
You have literally the perfect bone structure throughout your body, I’m jealous, she complimented, taking my arm and pulling me out of the room, but we have no more time to waste ! Let’s do this !
I swallowed harshly, inching closer to her as we passed several people who decided to stare at us on our way out an unfamiliar door in the back. My nerves were extremely unsettled the further we entered the woods, but I trusted her.
It took about three minutes by the time I heard loud laughter and music, spotting color changing lights hanging from the trees which lit up the water as well as the fire about twenty feet away.
We’re here ! Gabbie cheered, moving away from my side and approaching everyone as I remained frozen, my eyes glued onto Axel’s god-like sculpted stature. The light from the fire casted a shadow over all the right areas and my knees almost buckled.
He’s so dreamy.
He finished talking to Danny and looked our direction, his amused grin fading into a look of awe.
Our amazement hastily plundered when the song changed from dance to a slow, romantic saxophone. This made Axel whip his head to the side and glare at Blaine who was standing next to the speaker, a huge, satisfied grin on his face.
Last one in the water is a rotten egg ! Danny yelled and Blaine was the first to take off running, probably because of the look he was receiving, then everyone began rushing that direction except for me and Axel.
I slowly built the courage and walked up to him, fully entering the light and looking down sheepishly. His fingers pushed my chin up and I felt myself blush, our eyes finding each other’s and he pulled me in by the waist.
You make it difficult to control myself around you, he commented lowly, leaning in to kiss me but wet hands grabbed my arm and pulled me away.
Come on, you two ! Whitney laughed, tugging me alongside her and I looked back at Axel, a foreign feeling igniting within me as I caught his longing gaze with mine.
I pried my eyes away and charged in the water, joining the rest of them while they splashed and threw each other around. I giggled, watching as Danny picked up Whitney and threw her through the air with a huge splash.
Everyone laughed at the way she looked and Blaine splashed us to defend her, earning multiple waves of water from us in retaliation. This went on and I turned, seeing Axel was now in the water and connecting with the rest of our group.
I was between Gabbie and Whitney, yet I couldn’t stop my eyes from staring at him and it only intensified the strange feeling in me. He caught my stare and our gazes lingered again, at least until I felt my body being touched.
