Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78: It Was A Dream

Lennox's POV

The moment I stepped into the room, I felt the heat in the air. Tension thick. My eyes darted between Olivia—who looked far too composed for someone who'd just been grounded for hours—and Louis, who was breathing heavily.

Something had just happened.

I narrowed my eyes.

Louis wouldn't even look at me.

"Everything okay here?" I asked, my voice filled with suspicion.

Olivia gave me a glare.

"Louis was just informing me that I'm free to move around."

I turned to Louis, who was avoiding my gaze.

"I'm leaving," he suddenly said, and without meeting my gaze, he went for the door, pushed it open, and left, leaving me with Olivia.

I felt something wasn't right, but I just couldn't pinpoint what it was.

Looking back at Olivia, she glared at me, her arms folded across her chest.

"You should also leave," she said coldly, clearly sending me out.

My frown deepened, and I took a step closer to her. "That was not what you told me last night when my finger was inside you," I said, my voice sounding husky.

Olivia swallowed hard and lifted up her chin. "I thought we were not supposed to talk about it… to me, it was a dream, and it will remain that way."

I stared at her, stunned. "A dream?" My chest tightened with anger.

"A dream?" I repeated, stepping closer. "That's what you're going with?"

Olivia frowned but held her ground. "What happened was actually a nightmare to me," she said, fueling my rage even more.

"Really?" I asked with anger. "A nightmare? You weren't complaining when you were trembling under my touch," I said, voice low, rough. "When you begged me not to stop."

She looked away for a split second—just a second—but that was all I needed.

I moved closer, closing the gap between us until her back hit the wall. My hands came up, caging her in on either side of her head. Her breath caught, but she didn't move away.

"You want to pretend it didn't happen?" I whispered, my mouth brushing her ear. "Then tell me… was this part of your dream too?"

Before she could answer, I claimed her lips.

The kiss wasn't soft.

It was punishment—a reminder.

She gasped, but I swallowed the sound, pressing her tighter against the wall as my hands slid down, trailing her sides, tracing the curve of her hips like I owned them—because I did.

Her fingers clutched my shirt, her defenses cracking with every stroke of my tongue, every low growl rumbling from my throat.

I broke the kiss just enough to speak, my lips brushing hers.

"Let me remind you," I said darkly.

My hands dropped lower, slipping under the hem of her gown, grazing her thighs, inching higher. Her breath hitched as I reached her panties, my fingers gliding over the soft lace, until I touched the heat between her legs.

Still, nothing.

Stubborn, beautiful, infuriating.

I groaned into her skin, thrusting my fingers faster, my tongue tracing over her nipple again while my free hand gripped her thigh and held her open for me. Her body was on fire, her moans louder, more desperate—my name nearly slipping from her lips.

And then—a sharp knock at the door.

I froze.

So did she.

Another knock, louder this time. "Luna Olivia? Are you okay?" It was the voice of one of her personal maids.

I clenched my jaw, pulling back slightly but not removing my fingers. Olivia looked at me, panic rising in her eyes.

I leaned in, my voice low and rough. "This isn't over," I whispered darkly, curling my fingers once more inside her before pulling away slowly, deliberately.

She gasped, biting her lip to stay quiet as I stepped back, fixing my shirt, my eyes burning into hers.

"That wasn't a dream," I growled softly. "And no matter what lie you keep telling yourself… your body knows it."

With that, I turned and went for the door. When I opened it, I met the stunned look in the eyes of the maid, but she quickly bowed her head and looked away.

Ignoring her, I walked away while ignoring the hardness of my dick. Fuck! That woman was driving me crazy. My intention going to her room was to threaten her to tell me who her lover is—but now I ended up doing what I promised I wouldn't let happen again.

Making my way back to my study, a maid rushed up to me.

"Alpha… please come. Lady Anita just fainted."
