Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 517

“Eh…what the fuck was that?” Josie’s growl echoes through her own cabin, bouncing off the

wooden built walls.

What was that, what have I just done.

I lost myself in her, in the need to touch her…to be near her. I’ve potentially just ruined everything.

“Josie, can you give us a minute?” Callie calmly requests to my sister, her voice a little too cool.

I was fucking stupid, giving in yet again to temptation…and this time being caught red handed.

At least back at the beach club it was just Cleo and I, nobody else knew what had happened between us.

As soon as the door was closed, I could hear Josie calling out after Cleo in the meadows, leaving

Callie and I alone.

“You lied to me.” Callie takes a step closer to me, her body rigid and her jaw tense.

“How?”

“You’ve never mentioned you were in a relationship with another woman, I wouldn’t have tied myself to this agreement if I had.”

“I’m not in a relationship, that was just…” I scoff out, my hands running back through my hair as I

try to make sense of what had just happened.

If we haven’t had been interrupted would I have

gone back there with her, would I have been with her?

I wanted to, fuck, I wanted to be so deep in her that I was the only person she would ever need.

But I hesitated, pulling away and breaking our moment first.

I could see the hurt in her eyes even before that door opened.

I’ve signed my fate with Cleo now, I just need to see it through to the end.

Any love she had for me with now be pure hatred. Which is what I wanted…wasn’t it?

“What?” Callie was coming at me as if she was an enraged lover of mine, that I had really been

caught cheating on her.

She didn’t expect me to be celibate for the rest of my life did she? Just like I didn’t expect her not to take a lover…I couldn’t please her just like she couldn’t please me.

“Another mistake.” I try to move towards the door, play down what had just happened…only for her to block me.

“Another mistake…how many mistakes have there been?” Her roar is deafening as she grips me by the arm.

“Just now…” I respond but her pinned look lets me know she isn’t falling for it.
