ARTEMISIA
I can’t really complain because I have had some really lovely moments waking up since I have been living here.
But getting woken up from my afternoon nap by the couple’s vibrator vibrating between my legs and slipping from the state of grogginess into the one of a blissful high, is the most amazing awakening I have ever had.
Stretching as my orgasm gets me to spasm in pleasure, I bite my lip as it stops vibrating right as I have ridden out my release fully and I think of the fact that it must be Fynn operating it.
And he surely did enjoy as I came as well.
After getting up, I played the good girl and didn’t take it off.
I can’t deny that it did keep me from being too productive, also I can’t say that I felt at ease wearing it as I feared someone walking in on me having an orgasm all by myself. But I can certainly admit that it made my afternoon immensely better.
And I even see my work in a bit better light.
By the time I walk into the dining hall because Daisy insists on how I should eat with the others as it would do me good, my heart skyrockets.
And not only because of Fynn glaring at me as he is sitting at a table with his warriors. Matthew and Logan are sitting at other tables, and both seem to act like they didn’t see me enter the room.
Fine for me…
I sit down next to Lisa, where Daisy has already pulled out a chair for me and I thank her absent-mindedly while holding eye contact with Fynn.
“Are you okay?” Lisa asks me, and I tear away my eyes reluctantly from him and just catch him grinning to himself while averting his gaze as well.
Oh, please let him be reasonable for once.
I actually have to laugh at that, earning a questioning look from Lisa.
“Sorry,” I clear my throat, flashing her an innocent smile. “I’m feeling a bit on edge lately.”
Her expression morphs as she must feel pity for me, and I groan internally. “Is it because of your mates?”
It’s not that bad.
“No, no. It’s just… Everything is new, and I’m trying to help around to feel part of the pack and at home as soon as possible,” I sigh, feeling Fynn’s eyes back on me.
She rolls her eyes with a giggle. “You are just precious. But you really should stop doing all those Omega tasks. They will end up undermining your worth.”
“I don’t think that will be the case,” I retort, scrunching my nose.
I’m just about thinking that I must be weird by feeling uncomfortable at her statement as Drake hums in my mind. ‘That one is sketchy. Let me crush her skull, mate.’
I have to swallow a laugh, nearly choking on my food.
Wanting to grin and bear it, I squeeze Lisa’s hand. “I’m sure that my mates will not allow that to happen.”
“Ah, totally! You are so lucky… I mean, duh, Logan would already be absolute heaven for me,” she giggles and I smile at her, even if her statement causes an uncomfortable sensation to grow in my chest.
Instinctively, I look at Fynn as if he could calm me down, but he just gets my heart to beat out of my chest again as he is playing with his phone with a strange grin playing on his face.
I really hope this is because one of the guys sitting around him is saying something funny.
Concentrating back on Lisa, I sigh. “I really am lucky. They are all so loving.”
I start eating again, pushing down the ill-founded jealous feeling she got rising in me.
‘You are so diplomatic, mate. I would have bitten off her head.’ Drake laughs, before retreating, and this makes me jerk up, just in time to see Fynn walking out of the hall.
“If you will excuse me,” I say quickly before scurrying after him.
Ignoring Lisa calling for me, I storm out of the kitchen and upstairs to the quarters he shares with the warriors.
I get annoyed as I nearly can’t keep up with him and his stupid long strides, and I know exactly that he must know that I’m following him.
But I don’t care.
As we enter the warrior’s quarters on the second floor, he turns around with a sly smirk. “So you were following me, mate.”
“I need to talk to you,” I say, and he chuckles.
Turning back around, he starts walking further down the hallways. “As long as today didn’t make you fall in love with me, we can talk about whatever you want.”
I cringe at his back acting like the entitled asshole, and totally lost his flirtatious demeanour he had just a few hours before.
“Fynn, could you please slow down?” I ask and am actually surprised as he halts in his tracks, turning to me.
Distorting his face, he looks up to the ceiling as I catch up with him. As soon as I’m standing next to him, he glares down at me. “What do you even want? Coming into a men’s dorm like this.”
“What is that even supposed to mean? I will tell you as soon as we are somewhere we can talk privately.” I stretch out my hand as if gesturing to the surrounding rooms that are already full of men standing in the door frames to eavesdrop.
I stop my eyes from roaming around quickly as I realise that most of them are standing there naked.
So, that’s what he meant.
Looking back up at him defiantly, he takes a step into me, making me take a step back.
I’m about to panic as he clicks his tongue at me. “Calm down, princess.”
He pushes open the door behind me and gets me to stumble back into an empty dorm room.
As I regain my equilibrium and turn around, I see that it is quite a large and light-flooded room that has six bunk beds standing in it. All in all, it reminds me of one of those military rooms as it seems pretty sterile and seems to hold no personal items.
“Everybody out!” He shouts, scaring away two young men who were playing cards.
As they leave the room, he walks to one of the last beds and sits down with a sigh. “What do you want?”
“I wanted to ask if I’m allowed to take that thing off… Is this like a room for the warriors?” I ask, changing the subject mid-sentence as I feel like growing claustrophobic in the room.
“Yeah, we all share rooms,” he answers nonchalantly, hitting the mattress on which he is sitting. “This is my bed.”
Scrunching up my nose, I don’t even care if I sound bitchy. “You are kidding, right?”
“Why should I?” He asks back, squinting his eyes at me.
Laughing uncomfortably, I don’t get him to change his expression. “Come on… Don’t you have your own room?”
“Why? Does it freak you out, little Luna?” he mocks me, making me roll my eyes.
“Stop acting this condescending.”
He flashes me his pearly whites in a stupid grin. “I don’t have a mate, so I can do what I want. Speaking of which… Do you think you can talk to Logan before the weekend? There is a cute She-wolf in town that I really want to get off with… So, if you don’t mind wrapping all this shit up?”
“I will tell him as soon as I can, don’t worry. But I thought we were all waiting for you. If you wanna screw around just get it over with.” Spreading my arms, I squint my eyes at him. “Come on. As if I was afraid of taking a bit of betrayal pains.”
He tsks, shifting on the bed and I gasp. “Drake won’t let you, right?”
I laugh as he glares at me, and I clap into my hands once. “Oooh, poor little Fynn, all alone while the others keep having fun.”
“Stop making a scene, princess,” he growls annoyed, standing up.
Crossing my arms, I shake my head. “You are such a wimp. If you don’t care about me this way, why all this? Why make me pay for something you don’t care about?”
“Pretending loyalty and integrity has nothing to do with love. I did it for Matty,” he snarls, stepping to tower over me.
“Ah,” I press my tongue to my upper teeth. “Matt!”
He looks at me confused as I tilt my head at him. “It’s Matt. He is a man, not a stupid little boy. Contrary to others.”
“Go fucking ask Matt, then, if you can take it out. As if I would care.” He is about to walk away but I stand in his way.
I gulp as he casts me a look that makes me think he is close to ripping my head off my shoulders. “You are the one operating it, aren’t you?”
“Ugh, give over!” He murmurs, wanting to walk around me, but I block his way again.
“You felt everything with me! You are the only one who could operate it this perfectly,” I shout at him, making him grimace.
He leans down to me, growling. “Stop making a scene!”
“No!” I shake my head. “You can’t keep acting like this!”
“What is your fucking problem? I warned you from falling for me. I have no interest in you whatsoever!” My heart breaks, but I fight to keep up my poker face, ready to get back at him as I get interrupted.
Drake’s thundering voice ripples through me, making me shudder. ‘Such a bad liar.’
I gasp while Fynn looks at me as if I am totally mental. My brain wires itself anew, forcing me to go with another strategy.
“What did you feel when you kissed me?” I ask, and his eyes widen.
“I’m sorry… What?”
“You heard me! What did you feel when you kissed me?” I repeat, looking up at him defiantly.
He sighs, passing his hand over his face. “I really don’t know what is going on in that bird brain of yours, but I was horny, and you were close. Goddess, it was just a kiss. I didn’t feel nothing. It was boring. Why? What did you feel?”
I know that he is lying.
I can see it on his face.
Also, it could never be as I felt so much.
And yet it is his wolf that needs to keep the pieces of my heart together.
Drake laughs, getting goosebumps to rise on my skin. ‘Oh oh oh. To me, he said that the world finally had started moving. He felt like it finally made sense why he was here.’
“I felt fire,” I whisper, shocked by what Drake just told me.
He exhales, ready to lash out again, but I stop him.
Just in time, I pull him by his shirt, getting his lips to crash against mine.
