Chapter 20 - Chapter 20

Matt;

It had been a long 3 weeks since the last murders had happened and the atmosphere in the pack was dark and cold. Amelia still wouldn't talk to Arlo after his accusation and in all honesty, I didn't blame her, but he was a much happier person when she was around. During this time that they haven't been speaking, he had changed; his moods were dark and his temper short, he wouldn't confide in me about his private life refusing to reveal what had happened between him and Amelia. But she told me everything, including that he punched the wall right next to her face. In my entire life I never thought that I could love anyone as much as I loved Arlo and my adoptive parents, but since meeting Amelia, my outlook on everything had changed. Amelia was a sister to me, and it was hard to listen to everything that had happened between the two of them because that wasn't Arlo, my best friend; my brother, would have never done anything like that, ever! It was almost as if he had been possessed.

Thank fully he was still preparing to go on his annual trip to Ireland, maybe time apart was what they both needed. He was hoping to speak to some of the Alpha's and see if they could help our pack solve these murders. He desperately needed a break, so I was sure that this trip would do him good, Tristan, Charlie and Jake were all going to go with him, and Amelia was extremely excited. The thought of not having to be around her father and brother thrilled her, she could be herself without treading on eggshells. And maybe now she could finally be herself.

I stood on my balcony and stared out to the woods, wondering who was out there looking back at me; wondering what they wanted; wondering why they were killing off our pack? I jumped when my phone started ringing and without looking at the screen, I knew it was Arlo, he wanted to know everything.

'I need to speak to you. My office, now.' He mumbled before hanging up the phone. I slide it back into my pocket and slowly wandered back into the mansion, he sounded more emotionless than I had heard him yet, it seemed that all this time apart was seriously messing with him. I hurried through the corridors until I was stood outside his office door. I drew in a deep breath through my nose and shoved the door open, plastering a smile on my face.

'Hey bro, you wanted to talk to me?' I asked, walking into his office. He was sat in his chair looking up at his portrait; a look of disappointment was written all over his face and then he turned to look at me, he was hurt mentally. There were dark circles under his eyes, his cheeks were slightly drawn, and he just looked deflated. I sat down and stared at my best friend; my brother, my Alpha and anxiety ripped through me, I knew the questions were coming. The questions that I didn't want to answer. But I had no choice.

'I need you to tell me about Amelia; and I need to know why you didn't tell me anything.' He said staring straight into my eyes. Damn you Lori! I cleared my throat and pressed my lips into a thin line, shaking my head slightly.

'What is it that you want to know?' I wasn't stupid enough to just blurt out everything, I wasn't going to be the one to tell him anything that he didn't already know. I blinked a few times and smiled at him. Arlo narrowed his eyes and stared at me. My heart began to race, and I knew that he could hear it. Arlo tilted his head forward and waited for me to answer. Fuck! He knew it all! I sighed and dipped my head forward.

'Arlo… I… I didn't say anything to you because Amelia asked me not to, she wanted to tell you herself; but when she was ready. You know me bro, if I give someone my word, I stick to it. And yes, I know it was stupid of me, maybe if I said something then none of this would have happened… what has Lori told you? How much do you know?'

Arlo;

I stared at my best friend; he was panicking. I could hear his heartbeat picking up the moment I asked him the question. Why did everyone keep secrets from me? Why did they insist I be the last to know everything? I was their Alpha for fuck sake, and she was my girl and yet no one would tell me a fucking thing.

'I know about the blood in Amelia's room; I know that Lori is certain it was Amelia's and no one else's, but what I don't know is what happened, but I know that you do. So, what happened Matt?' I asked, my tone a little harsher than necessary, but I was getting answers, and I was getting them now.

Matt sighed and shook his head; and I could almost hear the battle he was having with himself in his head. This was one of the reasons that he was my best friends. Aside from growing up together as brothers, he was actually the most genuinely nicest person I had ever met. Once you were in his circle of trust then he would fight to the death for you, and when it came to them asking him to keep his mouth shut, he did. But we had never been in this position before. He rarely let anyone in, it has always just been me and my parents. But since she came, everything has begun to change.

'Look… Arlo…'

'Please Matt, just tell me. I am so tired of the secrets. How am I supposed to keep this pack safe if I don't know what is happening in it? I think I am ready to hear and handle whatever it is.' I said, cutting him off mid-sentence. Matt closed his eyes and exhaled defeatedly.

'She tried to kill herself.' He whispered. 'She slit both of her wrists and tried to bleed out. Lori knew because she was the one who found her and believe it or not instead of just leaving Amelia to bleed to death, she came and got me and Piper. When we got to her room, she was in the bathroom on the floor unconscious, but her wrists…they were already healed by the time we got to her, all we could see were scar like marks and a bloodied knife.'

I sat staring at him, stunned by what he had just told me. I most definitely was not ready for the answer he gave me. She had tried to kill herself. When? Why? I needed these questions to be answered and I knew Matt had the answers I was seeking.

'When was this?' I asked, what could have sent her over the edge? Matt raised his dark eyes to meet mine and stared at me in silence for a moment with wide eyes. I knew I wasn't going to like what was about to come out of his mouth. And I knew that it was probably going to break my heart.

'Do you remember the day that you told Amelia you were imprinting on someone and she acted absolutely fine about everything?' Matt asked trying to read my expressions. I nodded slowly and tried to swallow down my pain and anxiety.

'The day she told me she loved me for the first time…and I never said it back. I couldn't say it back to her and yet she accepted it all…' I paused and closed my eyes as the realisation of everything came crashing down on me. 'At least I thought she did.' I whispered as the memories of that morning came flooding back. Why didn't I say it back? Why in that moment could I not bring myself to tell her how much I loved her? Deep down I knew it was because I didn't want to tell her something that I couldn't mean. But I did. I loved her. But Selene had other ideas. I closed my eyes once more and sighed, trying my hardest to quell the voices that were arguing in my head. It was only when Matt spoke again that I remembered that he was there.

'Arlo you couldn't have known, heck I didn't even know anything was wrong. She was laughing and joking with me one minute, then she literally kicked my arse in training and then the next… she…' he couldn't finish his sentence he just put his head in his hands and sighed.

'Is there anything else I need to know? I want to know everything; I am sick of these fucking secrets.' I growled, taking the anger that I had for myself out on my closest friend.

'After we found her, Tanya move her in with them for a few weeks over Christmas.'

'So, that was why she was staying there? I just thought that she was mad at me.' I paused for a moment and took in the look on his face as he nodded hesitantly. I just knew that there was more heartbreak to come.

'She tried to kill herself again.' Matt admitted and I then was speechless. She had tried to do it twice. What? She was going through so much pain and I didn't even know it. Some fucking alpha I was turning out to be. Not only could I not protect the pack from these murders, but I didn't even know when the one person that I was closest to was slipping into a darkness that I feared that she would never recover from. Matt nodded as though he had read my mind.

'Christmas day.' He mumbled. I leant my head back and ran my hand over my chin. I had fucked up royally. That is why she didn't come back that day, and why she lied about where she was when I had questioned her! And that is why she refused to talk to me. The only person Lia was guilty of hurting was herself. A tear rolled down my cheek and I looked straight at Matt.

'Tell me everything. I don't understand, why Christmas day? We had such an incredible afternoon, everyone had dinner, she slept with me and we exchanged gifts and I held her. We were all going to spend the rest of the day together, what went wrong?' I was so confused that it was beginning to fuck with my head.

'Wait… she slept with you? When?' I paused for a moment and realised that I had spoken that one out loud. I opened my mouth to reply Matt spoke again. 'After Piper and I left your office we heard people shouting at her.' He paused and closed his eyes, but he didn't need to tell me the names, I already know. 'Charlie and Jake is what went wrong.' Matt said, anger now in his voice.

'What happened?' I asked sitting forward with my voice low and dangerous. Of course, it was them dickheads. Matt hesitated further. 'Look, I know that Charlie is our Beta, but that still puts me above him. And I am not asking you this as your alpha, I am asking as your brother.' Matt creased his brow and dropped his eyes down to his hands that were folded in his lap.

'They threatened her. Told her to confess to the murders and then Charlie.'

'Charlie did what?' I asked, my voice raising.

'Charlie hit her.' That's all Matt had to say, I was seething, he fucking hit her, that runt, hit my girl. He was supposed to be someone that protected the pack in my absence. Now I knew that he could lay his hands on a woman, I was having seconds thoughts. There was nothing I could do about him being my beta. But if he ever touched Amelia again, I would see to it personally that he is exiled.

'I'm going to kill that bastard.' I roared leaping from my chair and slamming my palms down onto the desk. I balled my fists and stormed to the office door, kicking it open as I went, but Matt jumped in front of me.

'Arlo stop, don't do anything, not yet. Think of the pack, they can't see you like this. They are scared enough as it is.' Matt pleaded. He was right, but Charlie had no idea what was coming for him.

'You know she kicked him in the balls, right?' Matt grinned trying to lighten the mood a bit. 'And she headbutted Jake.' A proud smile crept across my face, that's my girl, never one to back down from anything, even if it did get her into trouble. I paused for a moment, thinking back to her trying to harm herself again.

'How did she try to do it the second time?' I asked, leaning up against the door. I needed to know it all and I needed to talk to Amelia.

'She threw herself off the cliff. You know the one deep in the-'

'I know it.' I said cutting in. It was the place that I had seen her before. Standing there looking out at the twinkling lights of the houses below. 'There is no way that she could have survived that. How is she still…' I stopped before I finished my question. I couldn't bear to speak the words aloud.

'I caught her just in time, and I mean literally caught her. I grabbed her arm just as she jumped. She was so out of it that she didn't even know that we were there.'

'We?' I asked, raising my eyebrow and looking at him sternly. Matt hesitated for a moment, his mouth hanging open. He cleared his throat and looked away from me for a moment.

'I caught her, but, if I had been a second later… she… she…' Matt couldn't finish what he was trying to say but looked straight into my eyes. 'I am sorry I didn't tell; Arlo, she begged us not to, she said she would tell you when she felt mentally ready, but everything just went wrong.' Matt sighed trying not to look at me again. I noticed his swift change of subject, I didn't need him to tell me who the others were, I already knew. They were the only four missing at the meals. But I admired his loyalty. That is what a true defender of the pack was all about. Not even backing down in the face of the alpha. I cleared my throat and looked to my brother.

'Matt, I need to talk to her, please try and get her to talk to me.' I whispered, first I would talk to her and then I was to pay Charlie a little visit.

Matt;

After my conversation with Arlo, I met up with Piper and we had decided that we were going up to Lia's room to hang out, but I had already thought to myself that I was going to persuade her to come down and meet up with everyone; including Arlo. She hadn't been down there or spoken to him since they argued. Piper and I opened the door; with the matching keys that Lia had given us, and were now sitting on her bed, where we had been for the past hour and a half.

'What are you thinking; Matt?' Amelia asked, me, her and Piper were all sat on her bed, both girls were wearing mud masks on their faces and drinking wine, Piper insisted they were good for the skin, but I decided to give that a miss. Although now secretly regretted that decision. I looked up at Amelia and sighed. I hadn't realised that I had been quiet for so long.

'I was just thinking about you and Arlo.' I responded, turning my face to look at her. Amelia's face dropped and she shook her head. 'Don't you think that it's time that you guys had a talk? I know he has hurt you Lia but, he is so different, I think he regrets everything he said, and I really do think maybe you two having a talk before he goes away is the best thing to do.' I continued looking at Piper, hoping she would agree with me. She met my eyes but shrugged, she didn't agree at all.

'I think if he wants to talk then it is him that needs to approach Lia.' She grumbled before pausing. 'Lia has he said anything to you at all?' she turned, looking from me to Amelia who had tucked her knees up close to her chest and was now resting her chin on them, she looked so sad.

'No, he hasn't, but then again even if he did, I probably would have told him to fuck off.' She mumbled resting her cheek against her knees. 'But I agree, we do need to talk. I just don't know if I am ready for that yet. And I wouldn't even know what to say.' I sighed and rubbed her shoulder.

'He wants to talk to you. I spoke to him earlier on and I... I told him everything.' I admitted waiting for her to get angry with me, but she didn't, her eyes widened, and a look of panic crossed her face, and then she just nodded and smiled weakly.

'I am so sorry, to both of you. I should never have put you guys in this situation, and I should never have asked you to keep my secret from Arlo. I am sorry Matt, I know that he is your brother, and I put you in the worst position possible.' Amelia apologised reaching her arms out to me. I was taken back, I thought she would be upset but she wasn't, she seemed more relieved than anything. I cuddled her back and smiled at Piper. 'I love you Matt.' Amelia whispered, as a single tear rolled down her cheek and dripped onto my shoulder.

My entire body froze for a second, no one had ever told me that they loved me before. Was this what loving someone felt like? I lump of emotion formed in my throat and I coughed quietly to try and clear it.

'I love you too, Lia.' I whispered, kissing the top of her head lightly. 'You too bitch bag.' I added, pulling Piper in for a group hug. After a few seconds, I pulled back and looked Lia up and down. 'Right, go and wash that crap off your face and make yourself look pretty. I think you need to go speak with him.' Piper and Lia paused, looked back at each other and then back to me with a mischievous smile on their faces.

'What? Why are you both looking at me like that?' I asked cautiously, slowly starting to back away from them. In unison they leapt forward, pulling the mud facemask tube from the pocket of their dressing gowns and pinned me to the bed. I struggled against them, but it was no use. I laughed so hard that I couldn't breathe and lost all my fight. They pulled back giggling to one another and ran into the bathroom shutting the door behind them. I walked over to the full-length mirror and took in my reflection. I rolled my eyes just as they opened the door and peered out, giggling.

'Love you.' They sang together before falling into a fit of laughter once more.

Amelia;

Piper, Matt and I all washed the mud face masks off our faces, Matt playfully glaring at us the entire time, before heading back into the bedroom, where they made me sit on the bed while Matt rummaged through my wardrobe and Piper grabbed my makeup from the vanity table. Matt pulled out a red dress that was extremely well fitted. I mean, it looked like a second skin it was so tight. My black heels that would go perfect with it. But was now the right time to be wearing something like that in front of him? I closed my eyes and drew in a deep breath. I needed to just go with it. I trusted the pair of them with my life. So, I nodded.

I was surprised at how good my makeup looked, especially as it all happened so quickly, Seriously, Piper was magic with her makeup skills. And now, I nervously walked into Arlo's office avoiding his big golden eyes, I couldn't look at him. There was a part of me that was still so angry with him, angry and disappointed, but then, there was the other part of me that loved him unconditionally. And now those two parts of myself were raging war in my head. I looked up at Matt, who was leaning against a wall with his arms crossed, he gave me a reassuring smile as I walked over to one of the settee's and sat down. He was determined to get me and Arlo to talk, and I had no idea why.

Maybe it was time? It had been a long 3 weeks after all, but I still wasn't ready for this, it was over between me and Arlo. And us talking now would just confirm it. I looked up at my Alpha and studied his face, he looked uncomfortable and nervous, just as I did. I took in a deep breath and closed my eyes momentarily here we go.

'So, Matt thinks we need to talk and although I don't want to, I think he is right.' I blurted, turning my eyes from Arlo back to Matt then back to Arlo, watching as he stood up from his chair. He nodded in agreement and walked over to the settee opposite, nodding at Matt before he sat down. Matt cleared his throat and pushed off from the wall.

'And, this is where I leave.' Her said playfully, with a cheeky smile on his face. He thought he was cute. I thought he was sneaky! He knew what he was doing the moment he picked this dress out for me. At the thought of my dress I glanced down at myself, suddenly feeling extremely self-conscious and noticed that Arlo's eyes were drawn to how low cut it was. There was that twinkle in his eyes that only meant one thing… I listened as our friend walked to the office door and quietly slipped out of the room carefully closing the door behind him. Arlo cleared his throat and forced his eyes up to meet mine.

'I think he is right too, and I would like to start by apologising.' Arlo said, nervously rubbing his hands together. I was still so furious with him, but with the feelings I had towards my Alpha I knew this conversation wasn't going to be as straightforward as I had planned it to. Damn you Arlo.

'Arlo, I…'

'Can you ever forgive me for what I said and what I did?' He asked, the sincerity in his voice made it hard for me not to.

'I think that maybe I can forgive in time, but I will never ever forget.' And oh boy did the words start flooding the air, I had so much to say. 'I never for one moment thought you would question me, I honestly believed that you knew me well enough to know I would never harm anyone, let alone kill them; and I would like to think, if anyone would be dead at my hands… it would be Charlie. But that is beside the point. I let you in; Arlo, I let my guard down and allowed you to break down the walls that I had put up to protect myself for the past eighteen years of my life, I feel betrayed. I gave you everything I could possibly give you, my heart, my trust, my virginity and now I have nothing left, it's gone…it's broken.' Tears had started forming in my eyes and that familiar pain had built up in my throat. Do not let one tear fall; Amelia, you promised no more tears.

'But you didn't completely let me in; Lia. You didn't tell me how shitty you were feeling, you lied to me when I asked where you were Christmas day, you tried to kill yourself twice for fuck sake and I had no idea… because you wouldn't tell me.' Arlo cried holding back his own tears.

'Don't you dare!' I snapped, jumping to my feet. 'What the fuck would you have done? Come rushing to my rescue like a knight in shining armour? Took away the shit that I have had to deal with in my life. Stop all the pain that has been caused to me by the people that were supposed to love and protect me?' I shouted, glaring at him angrily. He stared up at me with unshed tears glistening in his golden eyes. 'That's what I thought. There is nothing that you could have done. There isn't anything that anyone could have done. So, don't you fucking dare say that I never let you in.' My heart was pounding so hard that I could hear every beat in my ears and my hands were trembling. I no longer felt as though I was going to cry, but I did feel the need to punch someone.

'I am so sorry Lia.' He whispered, hanging his head in shame. He was right I didn't completely let him in, but I was trying to protect him, he had a pack to protect without me bringing my shitty feelings to him. I turned back to face him and lowered myself down onto the sofa once more.

'You have so much on your plate; Arlo, everything that was going on with me was far from important, people are dying for Selene's sake!' I tried my best to argue my point, but he wouldn't have any of it, refusing to accept any excuse I came up with, but I was just trying to protect him and that was the truth.

'Oh, so I could just add you to the body count then? Another one I couldn't save? Another one who should be able to come to their Alpha about anything, but my own… gi-' I paused and growled to myself before continuing. 'But you couldn't.' this time there were no tears, he was frustrated and disappointed. I didn't want to argue with him over this, so for once in my life I backed down to my Alpha.

'You are right, I should never have kept any of it from you and it was not fair of me to make Piper, Matt and Eddie to do the same. I am sorry.' But he knew what I was doing, this would have to be an agree to disagree argument.

'Amelia, no more secrets okay? Promise me.' Arlo looked me in the eyes, he was desperate for me to agree and I would promise him, even if that meant he didn't like what I was going to say.

'Okay, I promise, so here is my next secret.' I whispered. His face dropped, a mixture of anger and sadness filled his beautiful eyes. 'I am leaving… once we find out who is doing these killings and the threat is over, I am going, and I am not coming back.' I said as my heart ached. I wanted to leave, and I would leave, but the thought of walking away from him tore me apart. 'I am leaving for a number of reasons. The first is; I can't watch you fall in love and be happy with someone that isn't me. I think that would destroy the one bit of sanity that I have left. The second; I cannot live with my father and Charlie, after years of their abuse, I need to break free and learn who I truly am. There is a part of me out there in the world, and I feel it calling to me, every second of every day. I need to find out who I am. And the third reason is… ever since I have come here 8 members of your pack have been killed by someone who, I honestly believe wants me dead too.' I thought about what I said, whoever it was wants me dead, he/she was killing people to get to me, so why am I still here? 'I think I should go now and then maybe the threat will follow, that way, you will all be safe and then you can all get on with your lives.'

'No' was all he said, the word coming out more as a growl than a word, a fire burned in his eyes. 'No, you aren't going anywhere Amelia, not now, not later. You belong here.'

'Arlo, you need to think of your pack, if I go then the threat goes with me and everyone will be okay.' I snapped angrily. 'Plus, I do not belong here. I never have, and I never will. I feel it deep in my bones that I am destined to be a deviant! I cannot live my life being controlled by others.'

'And what if it isn't you that they are after and they still kill people? Then what? Please; Lia let me find out who it is, whether you go or not, I need to know who is killing my pack and they need to be put to death.' He pleaded. I knew I wouldn't win this argument and I knew only too well that if I left now, he would track me down and bring me straight back here.

'Fine, I will stay, but only until you catch the killer and then I am gone.' I answered in a matter of fact tone. 'And that is only because I don't want these people thinking that I am the killer. I have already been accused of it once, I will not be accused of it again!'

'Please don't go, I can't live knowing you're out there, not knowing if you are okay, if you are safe, I just can't.' He begged.

'Just as I cannot live here and watch you fall in love with someone else; Arlo. It breaks my heart already, knowing that we are not meant to be together. Seeing another woman touch you, love you, hold you and do everything I want to do with you… I just can't. And even the thought of it makes my skin crawl, it makes me feel physically sick.' I stared at his face… his beautiful face… waiting for him to argue back…Again!

'I understand.' He whispered. I closed my eyes and let out a sigh of relief.

'One more thing.' I mumbled looking up at him nervously. 'I don't want to live in the mansion anymore.' Arlo looked shocked and shook his head,

'Why?' He asked.

'Because I don't trust myself with you and I don't trust you with me. Living in this mansion with you, let alone having a room next to you is not working for us.' I admitted. 'We are over Arlo, there is not any going back from this, you need to move on, and I need to move on.'

My stomach twisted as those words came out of my mouth, I didn't want it to be over, I wanted him so much and I wasn't sure if I could ever truly fall out of love with him.

'Okay.' He grumbled sulkily. 'Where are you going to live?' he asked crossing his arms against his chest.

'In a house, in one of the empty houses and then when everything is done, I will leave.' I said standing up from the settee, waiting for him to say no.

'Fine, you can have a house, but If I give you the house, then you stay.' He said refusing to meet my eyes. If I stayed, I would need someone to live with me; I didn't want to be alone; the very thought of that filled me with dread. If only; Arlo could live with me. I couldn't ask Piper because she wouldn't leave her mum and Eddie and Matt had to stay at the Mansion. Then a person's face appeared in my head; Ethan! Maybe I could ask him. I froze for a second and gathered my thoughts; this is ridiculous. I can't ask him even though he is my friend; more rumours would just spread around about us and that's the last thing we both needed.

I nodded at Arlo; before leaving his office, try as he might, I was still going to leave. He leapt to his feet and grabbed my wrist, pulling me back around to face him, our faces were inches apart. We stared into one another's eyes and he leant in and kissed me. I gasped in surprise and began to lean into the kiss also, when I suddenly jumped back.

'No, Arlo. I just said that this is over. That is the exact reason that I am moving out of that room. We are dangerous for each other!' I whispered, turning away from him. I slowly started walking towards the door, when I paused and stared at the wood. The memories of Christmas day flooding through my mind. I heard him take a hesitant step towards me and paused. I closed my eyes and clenched my teeth. I was so going to regret this!

I turned back to face him and bit my lip. I stared at him for a few seconds just stood there in silence before grabbing the collar of his shirt and pulling his face down onto mine. Our lips met and I was suddenly filled with that familiar fire that burned through my entire body. The familiar fire of desire. I spun him around and slammed his back against his office door, forcing a low growl to escape his lips. I pulled back and smiled up at him as I pressed my body to his. I could already feel his hardness throbbing against my thigh. I glanced down as he smiled at me and I slowly began kissing down his cheek and along his jaw line.

I touched his pecks and ran my hand over them, feeling him flex them beneath my palms. I gripped his shirt and ripped it open, the buttons scattering around the room, as I slowly lowered my kisses down his neck and run my tongue over one of his nipples. A small groan of pleasure escaped his lips as he tilted his head back against the door and ran his fingers through my hair.

I grazed my teeth against his nipple and felt a tremor rock through him, before lowering myself down further. I dropped onto my knees and slowly ran my hands up his legs and thighs, grasping his hardness through the material. He thrust hip hips forward lightly, moving in time with my hand as small gasps of pleasure escaped him. I reached up and unclasped the button, holding his suit trousers closed, and slowly pulled on the zipper, releasing him from within.

I leant forward and slowly licked from the base, all the way up the shaft causing it to twitch and dance, before placing the tip in my mouth and running my tongue over the end. Arlo reached out and grabbed my head and wrapped his fingers in my hair. I took more of him in my mouth and began to suck. He slowly started moving his hips in time with my motions and I felt him stiffen even more.

'L-Lia… if you don't stop that soon I think I am gonna…' I pulled my head back, so far that I nearly released him from my mouth, but instead of stopping grasped the base with both hands and slowly moved them back and forth, while still moving my head. 'Lia… I-I mean it… I think I'm gonna…' I tightened my grasp around him and sucked harder. His whole body jerked as I felt him release in my mouth. I climbed back to my feet and swallowed, leaning in and kissing him on the lips once more. His mouth fell open as I winked at him. I kissed him once more on the cheek and slowly began to open the door when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back again.

'What are you doing?' I asked, looking up at him through my eyelashes; his cheeks were flushed, and he panted breathlessly.

'We're not done here.' He growled with a smile crossing his face. He slammed his palm on the door, closing it loudly, before grabbing for the hem of my dress and pulling it up over my waist. I glanced down and noticed that he was still throbbing and bit my lip seductively. He gripped my hips and turned me round so I was facing the door. As he slowly stood up, he kicked at my feet, causing my legs to part as he pushed me forward slowly. He ran his fingers up my thighs and felt the how wet I was already. He chuckled lightly and dropped down to his knees.

He slowly slipped his fingers inside me before following with his tongue, sending rockets of pleasure rippling through my entire body. I bit my lip harder, trying to stop the cries that were begging to escape my lips. He was just far too good at this! He pulled his fingers back and slowly climbed to his feet, leaving my body begging for more. He placed his hands on my hip and thrust himself into me; hard.

This time there was nothing that I could do to stop the groans. The faster he moved the more I felt my legs turning to jelly. He gripped me tightly and slammed into me. All the anger and aggression that we had felt for one another these past few weeks were manifesting… now. And I liked it. He pounded me harder, until I felt the tightening in my stomach. I knew what was coming and I didn't want it to end.

'Ar-Arlo… I think I am going to…' He pulled out of me and spun me around to face him before sliding himself back inside, holding both of my hands above my head with one of his while the other ran over the hardness of my nipple. I lunged forward and sunk my teeth into his shoulder, biting down so hard that I could taste blood; and this only seemed to spur him on more. I threw my head back as I was overcome with waves of orgasmic pleasure that I had never felt before. Swiftly followed by him pulsing within me. He dropped his head forward and sank his teeth into my neck; matching the bite that I had just given him. I gasped and struggled against his hands, but he was just too strong; and that only aroused me further. He slowly pulled back and stared into my eyes, with a cheeky grin on his face before placing his forehead against mine. I still felt his pulsing within me, and my body cried for more.

'You're mine.' He whispered, as he slowly pulled back and stepped away from me. He noticed the way my eyes travelled up his body, taking in every single one of his features and raised an eyebrow.

'W-What?' I asked innocently. He chuckled and shook his head. Grabbing me and throwing me over his shoulder. I squealed as a laugh erupted out of my chest. 'Arlo! Where are you taking me?' I giggled. His voice was low and gruff and still full of desire.

'Oh, this isn't over. We are going to my bedroom.' He chuckled, carrying me up the stairs as we went. I looked around at all the amused faces and could feel my cheeks burn from the flush that was spreading across them. But all I could do was giggle.
