you
to repay
me like this out of gratitude”
“What kind of person do you think I am? Do I need your pity?”
My eyes grew moist:
“Declan, I’m willing too. There’s no reluctance at all”
I took his hand and pressed it against my heart.
His pupils suddenly constricted, as if he had touched something he shouldn’t have
Don’t look, don’t touch – he tried hard to pull his hand away.
But I held onto his hand, refusing to let go.
“Declan, feel my heart”
“There’s truly no reluctance here. Don’t feel pressured.”
Declan’s Adam’s apple bobbed faster, his restraint growing even more intenset
“Don’t lie to me. I know your heart only has room for my brother, Liam
“Earlier when the bodyguard called you, I overheard.”
“You said Liam needed you more tonight.”
I wanted to explain, but Declan’s phone on the bedside table suddenly rang
I glanced at the screen–it was Liam.
Declan also looked at the phone and swiped to answer.
“Liam, what is it?”
Liam’s equally distressed voice came through the phone:
“Brother, my werewolf nature awakened tonight. I feel terrible
“And that damn Aria still hasn’t shown up.”
“I thought I could resist, but I overestimated myself.”
Declan glanced at me: “Aria, sho…”
I immediately kissed Declan’s lips, stopping the words he was about to say.
Declan lost control due to my repeated initiative, his pupils contracting sharply.
His large, powerful hand instinctively held the back of my head, seeming to want more.
But reason quickly overpowered impulse.
He pushed me away, not having time to tell me I was here.
Liam’s complaints came through the phone:
“Of course I know Aria is just delayed by traffic.
“She must be dying to fly over and help me ease my symptoms right now.”
“Her heart must be bursting with joy
“But something so easily obtained always feels a bit lacking”
“I really don’t want her to take advantage of my vulnerable state. Why does our werewolf love have to be imprinted with lifelong loyalty from the core?
Declan’s eyes, red and frightening, were tinged with surprise and anger,
“You don’t want to be loyal to her?”
“Then why have you been leading her on since childhood?”
Liam spoke to his older brother without reservation:
to his older
“I was young and hadn’t seen many women before
“I didn’t know how colorful the outside world could be.”
“Liam!” Declan suddenly called his brother’s name in a heavy tone: “If you don’t cherish her, dont blame me for cherishing her instead!”
Declan’s is tone was heavy as he concluded: Don’t regret it later!‘
Liam paused for a moment, then laughed:
“I won’t regret it.”
“If she could stop clinging to me, I’d be grinning in my sleep.
“But brother, you shouldn’t set your sights on Aria.”
“Even if I could empty my heart, Aria couldn’t do the same.
“Aria’s heart only has room for me. She can’t accommodate anyone else:
“I bet she wants to cling to me for life.”
“Oh, brother, are you planning to play the domineering werewolf alpha and force Aria to fall for you?”
“But love obtained by force is meaningless. Even if you conquer her body, you can’t conquer her heart. Why bother, brother..”
I was annoyed by Liam’s inexplicable confidence.
Afraid that Declan would back out and push me away again,
In a moment of urgency, I wrapped both arms around Declan’s neck and gently bit his ear,
Declan was already deep in the throes of desire. How could he withstand such stimulation?
He coldly interrupted Liam: “That remains to be seen”
But Liam was confident:
“Brother, I’m not bragging, but Aria must be in a desperate rush to come case my symptoms right now. She’s probably over the moon on her way here.”
“Poor me, I’m already in agony from the heat, and I’ll have to summon even stronger willpower to resist her taking advantage of the situation. You don’t understand your little brother’s pain”
Declan laughed coldly and dropped four words: “You’re deluding yourself.”
He listened to the phone while watching me take advantage of the situation.
His gaze had changed at some point.
All restraint, reason, and struggle had been thrown to the winds.
His large hand held the back of my head.
He even pulled me onto the hospital bed, holding me sideways in his arms.
The bodyguards and doctor in the room, with great tact, all retreated.
When only Declan and I were left in the room,
A silent intimacy rapidly grew between us.
I felt like I was pressed against a scorching furnace.
My heart pounded like a frightened deer.
Declan’s voice
I'll give was a bit hoarse:
you one last chance. Leave now”
“Otherwise, …
“I’m the type who either doesn’t touch or never lets go once I’ve made up my mind.”
My heart suddenly trembled, and I felt a bit scared.
But thinking of the horrific wound on his back, I shook my head stubbornly:
The air in my mouth was suddenly stolen.
Declan took control, pressing me underneath him as he kissed me deeply.
