"What the hell is 'truth or drown'?"
"I ask you something and you have to give me an honest answer, if you don't you have stay underwater for at least ten seconds. Viscera."
I look back at the ocean that looks pitch dark, I mean...I don't know. So it's basically 2 question with an alpha that might or might not drown you. From what I've heard today he's a very dangerous man, but Nia really wants too.
Should I give in?
Imma give in.
I'm basically ready and race ahead of him, I know he has to take off his tank top, button down and shorts then get in giving me enough time get comfortable with the oceans temperature.
Even though the air's kinda warm the water is still a little cold, Kinda feels like a swimming pool. It's warm before you actually go in. I hear another splash of water meaning Saint's finally in. I turn around seeing his body come towards me and I swim out a little further.
When we stop I don't feel the gains of sand but do see the hotel. "I better not get bitten by anything!" I tell Saint letting out a shaky breath.
"You'll heal!" He chuckles and I smile at how his hair hang on his forehead until he pushes it back "What's something you did that you can't tell your parents?"
"I was holding a packet of condoms for someone, my parents thought they were mine and I never denied it." I keep my arms and legs moving keeping my a float "What's one thing you regret?"
"Raising my pack in violence." He states "What's the real reason you don't like me?" He asks and my heart hurts a little for putting that in his head, I was only half joking. But I don't want him to know that, so I take a deep breath then sink in the water letting it consume me.
One, two three, four..I keep counting in my head keeping my eyes sealed shut nine, ten. I swim back up to the surface gasping for air, I see Saint two feet away from me and I note that I've somehow put distance between us.
"I get to go again since you didn't answer." He tells me "Most embarrassing party moment."
"I had to fake being drunk once, never showed my face ever again."
"What happened?"
"It's my turn." I tell him and he gives me a small smile "How did you find my room?"
"You need someone that can handle you." I tell him and I watch him swim closer towards me.
"I'm too much to handle?" He moves closer to me and I'm close enough to see water run down his pink lips, this isn't enough distance, Nia's going to act up. "What's one thing you've noticed about me?" His voice is in a low seduction tone.
"You have a scar," I move to him then raise a hand towards his ear, I lightly gaze my fingertips on his jawline then run my hands behind his left ear. His eyes don't move from mine so it's hard to tell if I'm effecting him the way he does me.
I reach the back of his ear and run circles around his scar "How'd you get that?" I retrace my hands a slowly as possible.
"My father gave that to me for smiling to much as a kid." I feel his hand gently gaze my waist but I don't mention it as his touch send electrical sparks through me. "Why don't you want me?"
"I do," It kinda just slips out and at that he takes it as an invitation putting his hand on my waist and pulls me closer, I can see a hint of black in his eyes and Nia isn't even fighting me for control. This is us, two teenagers destined to be lovers but one won't except her fate.
"Then why do you keep pushing me away?" His words come out as whispers and I feel his free hand work it's way up my body giving me the tingling sensation, his hands stop at my throat and I see his eyes shift to my lips.
