BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 36

036 – Team Lucy

ADAN STONE.

“Do you think, after you lied straight to my face, I have enough reason to trust you…” I didn’t want to tell her that, but it came out of frustration.

Then Aeon’s words earlier suddenly came back.

‘Some people are not comfortable sharing things that hurt them.”

My gaze fell to her face. She had her head down and was biting her bottom lip so hard that I was sure she would be tasting blood soon, while her arms were hugging her body as if she was cold. I cupped her face and tilted it up, so I could meet her gaze. Frustration was flitting across her eyes. “Lucy… I want you to be honest with me.”

Her hands moved away from her body as she cupped my cheeks, and I let go of my hands on hers. “Alpha Stone…”

“Adan…” I told her.

A weak smile curled on her lips before she opened them to speak again. “Adan… Just give me time. It might just be a name for you, but… for me…”

‘Some people are not comfortable sharing things that hurt them.’

“It’s okay if you need more time.”

Her arms wrapped around my neck as she slammed her body against mine, hugging me tightly. “Thank you! I promise you, when I’m ready to talk about my father, you will be the first to know. His name is Lucien. That’s all I can offer you now.”

My hand smoothed over her hair as I let out a sigh. Lucien. I would meet you one day.

My arms snaked around her body as I hugged her tighter, only for her to pull back and cup my face again.

“Alpha Stone…”

“Adan…” My brows furrowed at her.

“Adan, can I kiss you?” She asked in a very alluring voice, and I was smitten again.

My eyes darted to her parted, wet lips. Are you trying to make up for all the lies?”

“I promised I would make it up tonight, Adan… but now, I just want to feel your…”

I didn’t let her finish and crushed my lips against her, my hands tightening their hold on her waist as I pressed her closer to my body.

A low whimper escaped her throat as I plunged my tongue into her mouth and began kissing her bruisingly hard. This was my only way of punishing her because even if I hated her actions, I was already on the losing end.

Lucy might be a fucking witch because I couldn’t stop falling for her trap. I knew she had me already wrapped around her fingers, and I was just letting her.

“Are you ready?” I asked her, leaning my arm on the door frame as I let my eyes scan her perfect form while she checked herself in the bathroom mirror.

Lucy was wearing a short, tight-fitting halter blue dress that showed off her perfect curves, and if I was not taking her to meet my family, I would probably end up locking us in my suite now.

“I think I am. Do I look okay? It’s not too short or showing too much skin? Or too provocative?”

“No. It’s perfect.” I licked my lips, my fingers brushing against my chin.

“Good, because I don’t want to show off to anybody something that’s just meant for my Alpha.” She winked at me and began walking toward me.

Her palm cupped my crotch as she passed me in the bathroom doorway. It was just for a split second, but my cock instantly became hard.

“I’m ready whenever you are.” She added as she grabbed her coat as if she hadn’t done anything to tease me.

I smiled at her and helped her slip on her coat before I opened the door for us.

We were heading to my parents’ estate for dinner. My grandparents were there too, as well as Alexa and Aeon, but the pups would not be joining us.

After my outburst earlier, it was safer if they were not around. Because I was sure Amara would not let me get away with it without washing my mouth with too much water.

She hated it when I cursed, and I assumed Aeon had learned to filter his mouth around her too. She was already acting like a boss at eight years old.

My hand slipped under Lucy’s coat and rested on her ass as we walked down the stairs.

I saw her eyes widen before she tilted her head to look at me while we continued walking.

“Your hand – is on my – ass.”

I squeezed it before answering without looking at her. “I know. And that’s where I want it to be.”

“You’re going to make me wet. And everyone will smell my arousal.”

“Exciting.” My face was void of any emotion. She began this game, and I was just continuing it.

“Alpha Stone…” She hissed, we were near the ground floor now.

“Adan.” I let out a sigh. “I need you to call me Adan in front of my family. And not a word about the Omega Feast.”

“Oh, so I’m not the only one with secrets here.” She chuckled softly, and I didn’t reply.

We walked in silence until we reached the front door of the packhouse.

It was a chilly night. Snowflakes fell on us the moment we stepped out into the dark.
