The Alpha's Unclaimed Mate (Jason and Laila) by Caroline Above Story novel Chapter 294

“Laila.”

“I’m fine.”

I stepped closer to her and put my hands on frer waist, ready to guide her in what she needed to do. Yet the moment I touched her, the air between us shifted, becoming thicker.

She looked up at me through her long lashes. Her lips parted. I swore she pushed her breasts out further, so that they brushed against my chest. Fire licked up the length of my spine.

This was a bad idea. I knew that clearly, even though my body rebelled, wanting more.

I forced myself to remove my hands from her. Yet, before I could take even a single step backwards, Laila lunged at me. Her arms went around my shoulders, tugging me closer. I went willingly, delighted as she pressed her lips to mine.

I folded my arms back around her at once, pulling her more tightly against me so that her body lined mine. She must have felt my desire because she hummed against my lips. My brain totally fizzled out. Reaching down, I grabbed her ass with one hand, tugging her even closer so that she could feel the full length of my passion for her.

She growled this time, and I used the opening to lick my way into her mouth. She sucked on my tongue, and I bucked against her

in turn.

She reached up and combed her fingers through my hair.

Before I knew I was moving, I had her pressed against the wall. I lifted her up, both hands on her ass now, pinning her to the wall with my thighs.

She broke the kiss to moan. I moved my mouth down to her neck where I started sucking in marks.

“Jason…” she breathed.

Gods she was perfect. If I could get her naked… The mats should be soft enough. I could take her right here.

I could scent her desire. She wanted this as much as me.

Which was why it was so confusing when she suddenly froze. I froze as well, a half–second later, feeling her body go tense. I lifted my head to see into her face. She looked furious.

“Laila?”

“Put me down,” she said, her voice rough and shaky.

୮

I did as she asked, then stepped back a foot or two. My entire body protested, no longer feeling her, touching her, claiming her. All the things I wanted so much were being denied,

“I can’t do this,” she said.

I swallowed hard. “You kissed me,” I reminded her.

“It was a mistake.”

The word struck me like a blow. “Do you really believe that?”

A flash of doubt crossed her face before she shook it away. “I will not allow myself to fall back under your spell again.”

“I understand you are scared. With how I acted in the past, I get it. But I won’t hurt you again, Laila, I promise.”

“I don’t believe you,” she said, sadness in her voice. She didn’t wait for a response before she started moving. She turned and walked right out the door, leaving me alone in the gym, staring after her in confusion, my body still overheating, my heart suddenly empty.

Laila’s POV

I rushed from the gym, embarrassed and hot. My wolf lightly protested. My body more so, my wet panties telling of my true desires. But I couldn’t go back there. I couldn’t give in to this lust.

Jason had hurt me before. He would hurt me again.

The guards followed me out of the house. I went into the backseat of their car and they wordlessly got into the front seats. No one said a word about how I was wearing Jason’s clothes, or how I had stormed away, or the desire they could undoubtedly smell
