BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 54
054- Who Will Protect You?
LUCY.
“Are we still pretending, Lucy?” Adan asked in a voice void of any emotion.
He was giving me the same face that drew me to him — stoic, unreadable, mysterious, and challenging. But would I take the risk and tell him everything? What if he wanted no commitment at all?
My heart thudded loudly as I made up my
mind. I was never a coward.
“I’m not sure what you mean by pretending. The only thing I pretended to be was the meek and weak Omega you saw from time to
time. Other than that, all of these are real.”
A smile slowly tugged on his plump lips, and
I swear, if this conversation were not
important, I would be kissing him already.
“So you like me?” He asked, his brows
hiking up.
“Why do you think I’m still here? I told myself, that whatever happened after the Omega Feast, I would go. I have wings, I can just fly away. But then…” A wicked smile crawled on my lips as my finger trailed across his chest. “…you happened. And I
can’t resist you.
I felt something poke at my core as I said those words, and I knew this would lead to fucking again, so I couldn’t help but giggle.
“What are you laughing at?” His fingers tugged at my ear, but a smile was on his lips.
“You’re having a hard-on and I’m not even doing anything?”
“Don’t I always have one when you’re
around?”
I swiped my tongue on my upper lip before I
anchored my hands on his shoulders. “Do you like me, Alpha Stone? Or is this all lust?”
“I just spent a fortune to trace the witch that could help you and to amp up the security of
my territory, and I made Blade stay even if he irritated me because you requested it… So
yes, this is all lust. Just so I can have a taste of you every day and night.
”
“Such a pervert… but I will take it.”
His hands slipped inside my dress and trailed up to my waist, as he gently squeezed it while my arms snaked around his neck.
“I really like you, Adan. I don’t even know what will happen to me in the future, but I don’t want to think about it. I just want to
stay here with you.”
“Then stay…” His face turned serious, but this time he was showing a softer
expression, and it was making my heart melt. “I’ll take care of you. You don’t have to face your future alone. Be my Luna, and you will have the whole pack behind you. I can guarantee you, they will risk their lives to protect you.”
“But I don’t want any of them dying because
of me.”
“I know. But that’s what this pack is all about, we protect each other.”
“I don’t have a wolf.”
“So what? You’re not the first Luna without
a wolf.”
“You can’t mark me…”
“I can wait. We can still go with the mating, though.” He added the last part as his hands trailed down to my ass cheeks and squeezed
them, and as much as his actions made
tingles spread along my thighs to my pussy, I tried to ignore them.
“Your family, they might go against it.”
“Everyone loves Lucy. Even Pops like you, so my family is the least of our worries. The question is, will your father like me?”
“He can rot in hell.”
He laughed heartily, throwing his head
slightly back, and I couldn’t help the grin forming on my lips. I liked this side of Adan
-carefree and happy. Well, I liked all sides of him-even the frustrating ones.
“Maybe we should go visit him?” He asked after he calmed down from his laugh.
