Twisting Her Fate
Chapter 8

Leilani just watches Connor. Connor is calm and in control but still defends her. That coupled with his handsome face makes for a package that is rare to see. Leilani squashes the strange emotions that are threatening to surface. "How old school are Liam's ideas?"

"I know you wouldn't think that there is more than ten years between us. You would think it is more like two hundred years, but just wait for what's next and then you will really understand it"

Leilani aches to ask Connor more about the transaction and what he's doing with someone he obviously despises, but she said it loud and clear that it is a one-night stand. They're already pushing well beyond that. She has already heard his name. She has found out too much information and they haven't even got to the point of actually doing anything, so she knows when to back up even when her curiosity drives her to want to know more.

Connor places his nose in the crook of her neck, nudging in just behind her braid. Her scent is something so delectable, just adding to the entire draw that is Leilani. He has never had an attraction that is so strong.

When Alpha Liam first asked him out to this place, which is far from both their packs, he was annoyed, but he wanted the land, so all he could do is grin and bear it. But he has never been so glad to make a concession. He has had to discuss with Liam on various occasions, yet this is the only time that he doesn't mind the tedious process. Fortunately, it is the last time, so at least he gets to go out on a high note.

Even if Leilani is a random bright spark in his life, he can't help but be thankful for the break in the banality of working so hard and striving forward at a large pace.

Liam motions at one of his men after he finally manages to rip his eyes from Leilani.

Connor sees the movement, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, before speaking slowly and softly to Leilani. For some reason, he does not want this girl to judge him on the actions of others and wants to make his stance clear. He knows he shouldn't care what she thinks of him, but he does.

"I am really sorry about this part, you are actually saving me from it. We can leave quickly if you are uncomfortable, but you will have to bear with it until we can slip away without drawing attention to ourselves"

"Should I be frightened?"

"Frightened, I'm not sure. Disgusted? Yes, because that is my general feeling at all times, so don't worry, you are not alone"

Leilani moves slightly on his lap

"I am not sure how disgusted it would be possible to be in your arms"

Leilani can't seem to focus on anyone else but him.

"I want you so badly, my fiance"

Leilani runs her tongue up the side of his neck, stopping just below his ear, taking his earlobe in her mouth and biting it softly.

"You know Connor, there are a lot worse things in life than this arranged marriage I had thrust upon me" "Is that right?"

Connor's voice is hoarse and his grip gets so tight on her waist, drawing her impossibly close, the heat building up between the two is scorching, but he welcomes the heat that soaks through his whole body. He is the hardest he has ever been in his life, at nearly twenty-four years of age, he is feeling like a teenage boy, scared that he is going to blow his load from the slightest touch. Her breath fans the line left by her saliva.

Connor suppresses a groan, the door opens and he doesn't even pay attention. This is usually his nightmare, but this time he doesn't even look, his eyes are thick with desire as he stares at the woman in his arms.

It has been a long time since he has wanted anything so bad. The acquisition of the land and industrial buildings comes second on his list of achievements for the night, even though it is the result of six months of negotiations, it doesn't even come a close second to the woman that can not keep her hands still, the woman that is drowning in ar*usal, the woman that looks like she is as close to coming undone as he is even before they have had a chance to touch.

Connor's breathing is raspy as the scantily clad women file into the room. Leilani looks around with a near wicked look in her eyes. She is hardly a naive little girl any more. She knows all sorts of things that these alphas get up to. She has never witnessed it first hand nor has she been in the midst of such things. The fact that she is perched upon the most attractive of the bunch is a bit of an odd phenomenon as well. As she looks at the girls, she receives scathing looks as they descend upon the men like vultures. One look from Leilani is enough to have the women skirting around the prime real estate that is Connor.

Connor watches to see her reaction, making sure to keep her in place. There is no way he is losing his chance now. He is sure that he may succumb to a fatal case of blue balls if she was to leave now. He is sure that he may even live his life in regret, which is an odd thing to think.

Leilani's fingers run up through Connor's dark hair, her body slowly gyrates on his almost painfully ar*used member as she looks in his eyes.

"This isn't your scene?"

Connor groans out, his claws extend without his permission and as he looks down at the skin of her shoulder that is the most flawless perfection, he suddenly knows why her brothers warn against marking her.

It is not like he has never been with women, probably considered minimal compared to others, but never in his life has he had a random urge to mark anyone, much less a woman he has just met. He always assumed that only his fated mate would ar*use that desire within himself.

"No it isn't"

"Are you sure, I can see a lot of skin, a lot of killer bodies and a lot of pretty faces"

Connor doesn't even have to look around to know that none of the others are even near in the same league as Leilani, no one he has ever seen has been, so it is unlikely to change now.

"Baby, you outshine anyone that I have ever seen, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever had the privilege of laying eyes on"

"I bet you say that to all the girls"

Connor covers his heart in mock shock.

"Do you consider me that tacky?"

"Tacky is not a word I would use to describe you"

"What words would you use to describe me?"

"Handsome, strong"

"Boring, go better, dig a little deeper"

"Protective, enlightened, trusting"

Leilani moves a hand between their bodies and whispers seductively.

"And big, ohh so big"

Connor groans heavily. He has never cared for compliments before, but this is different, it feeds him. Leilani looks at the others in the room who are already having their fill.

"Isn't Liam mated and the others mated?"

The wolves are fairly old to have not found their mates. Connor looks around and then his eyes rest back on Leilani. "They are"

"And their mates don't mind this?"

Leilani is thinking of ways she could chop her mate to pieces if he acted in such a way. That is if she ever replaces her mate. "Their mates don't know"

"How?"

Their mates should be able to feel their actions.

"There is a potion that you can purchase at a high price that numbs the bond over the distance so they can partake"

Connor sneers at the men. If they weren't wasting such large amounts of money on being cheating scum, they probably wouldn't have to sell off chunks of land and buildings to him, but since he is benefiting from it, they can do whatever they want. "Disgusting" "I told you"

"Would you do such a thing?"

"I hope one day, when I replace my mate, to cherish her and, of course, I will never cheat on her"

Leilani wants to get away from the subject of Connor's mate because she can't help feeling jealous of the lucky b*tch.

"So you really don't like all this?"

"Not at all. It is hard to sneak away most of the time"

Leilani, swivels suddenly in his arms, straddling him as her movements are directed exactly where he wants them. Leilani has never been so glad that she is wearing dark denim, almost certain she is soaked through the thick material. "Do you like this?"

Connor's large hand wraps around Leilani's braid, forcing her head back as he ravages her neck with his mouth, causing a low moan to escape her perfect pink lips.

"I don't think I have liked anything more"

It is only then that Connor feels the dampness soaking through his jeans. He can feel wet on the end of his rock solid member and that is when he is sure if he doesn't move right now, he is going to lose himself in the moment

While he could just take her here surrounded by the others that are enjoying themselves, just joining in the fun. There is nothing too out of ordinary about it. He looks over Leilani's shoulders, seeing Liam still focused on Leilani's bare back. Even though she is just a random girl from a nightclub, that should mean nothing, she is just a one-night stand.

Connor still has no interest in having an audience to the act. He just wants her and him alone together. He wants the only one that he can hear her moans. He wants the only face and body that she can see to be his own. He wants the only set of eyes to be feasting on her body to be his own.

Maybe he's just selfish in that way, because he knows that she is ready and raring to go and, while he is sure the walk back to the hotel may nearly kill him. It is worth it not to tarnish this one night that they have together. It may only be one night, but he might as well make it special.

One night can still be a night to remember for the rest of his life. He has a feeling that this girl might ruin him for all other encounters, but it doesn't stop the thrill and it doesn't stop the desire and it definitely doesn't stop his actions.

His nostrils flare and he breathes deeply, sucking in all her scent. He doesn't want anyone else to be able to smell that scent, that scent that was made by him for him and him alone.

"Now my s*xy fiance. If we don't move soon, two things could happen. My possessive nature could take over and I could rip the noses off everyone present so that your sweet scent is mine and mine alone. Or I could revert to a fifteen-year-old boy and make such a mess in my jeans that I am going to have to do a full change before we can walk out of here"

"I think I have already messed up your jeans enough"

"I know that, but I will proudly walk out of here with that mess on my front knowing that I caused it"

Leilani smiles, pulling on Connor's hair tilting his head back. An alpha never likes exposing his throat in such a way, but that is the last thing on Connor's mind as Leilani litters rough kisses all over his heavily stubbled jaw. She could take him out now and he would die a happy man, but for some reason, he has unprecedented trust in the woman that he doesn't even know her name. Connor replaces it hard to trust anyone completely, yet she is ar*using that feeling within him.

The others in the room have melted away and the couple can only see, hear and feel each other. The depraved things going on around them are just static.
