"I don’t get it. Why do you have picture after picture of me as if I’m some celebrity?" I asked, too confused to use the same angry tone I had earlier.
She kept staring at my face before she finally smiled.
It was a strange smile, as if she had accomplished something just by sitting across from me. I never imagined someone would be obsessed with me. She was behaving like a stalker.
"Am I going to get an answer today or not?" I asked.
She nodded, as though even my scolding sounded adorable to her.
"I knew you would ask these questions. I was just afraid you would be so angry that you’d throw everything into the fire," she said, laughing awkwardly and blushing deeply.
But when she looked up and saw that I was not giving her soft, forgiving eyes, she seemed to realize she needed to take me seriously.
“I collected all of this,” she admitted. “I was crazy about you. But you never noticed me. And when all this happened to you, I couldn’t bear it. I can’t see you broken.”
She spoke softly, then took a deep breath and nodded.
“I want to help you heal. I want to be a light in your life. Even if you ignore me now, I will keep proving myself until you accept me. I will keep choosing you, because there is no better alpha in this world than you.”
Her words began to reach my heart. I had never seen such desire for me in someone’s eyes.
Kaylee’s desire had been different. There had been aggression in it. She had hit me and argued with me. But Sherry sat in front of me, praising me, calling me the best.
“And I will do everything possible to make sure Yuvonne’s pack ends up in your hands,” she finished.
"I just want you," she uttered, slowly rising from her seat and dragging it closer to mine.
At that point, I was not even speaking. I let her say whatever was on her mind. When she sat down again, she ran her fingers along the back of my hand.
I noticed how warm and deliberately seductive her touch was.
"You want me to believe that you would betray your friend for me?" I asked, smirking at her as if she could fool me.
"Yuvonne is my friend, not someone I would destroy my world for. She’s fine and all, but I’m not betraying her," she replied softly. "It’s not betrayal if your friend is not in her right mind, and she isn’t. She has lost it. I’m just helping the pack survive. I want the best Alpha to rule."
She ended with a shrug.
I raised an eyebrow and kept staring at her, trying to understand her better.
To be honest, I was determined to learn more about Sherry now. The way she traced her fingers over my hand while holding my gaze was intriguing.
She stood up immediately, handing me my phone and adjusting my jacket. It was something Kaylee had never done.
The way she catered to me made me feel special. I stayed still, letting her smooth my hair into place. She even fastened my watch back onto my wrist, which I had removed earlier during our conversation.
When she was done, she gave me a beautiful smile.
"If you’ve had too much to drink, call your driver. Please, I don’t want you driving like this," she said softly.
I did not respond. I began to walk away, then stopped.
This time, when I turned back to her, I leaned down and pressed my lips to hers.
Even though I wanted her to chase me, I still wanted to taste her.
The moment I kissed her, she responded with a soft laugh against my lips and leaned closer, wanting more. But I pulled back after a lingering kiss.
Her eyes remained closed for a second longer. Then she opened them and drew in a deep breath.
"Wow. That was amazing," she whispered about what had only been a simple kiss.
The fact that it meant so much to her made me feel powerful.
