Chapter 68 The Argument<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
After I hung up the phone, the air felt heavy, like the pressure in the room had suddenly dropped.<\/p>\n
I pretended nothing had happened and kept eating. But then Luis gave a low, meaningful laugh.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour beloved?\u201d<\/p>\n
I choked a little and glanced up at him.<\/p>\n
Luis didn\u2019t even move, but the pressure he gave off made a chill crawl down my back.<\/p>\n
Then he spoke, \u201cHe\u2019s sick, so he calls you? What are you? A healer?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cProbably dialed the wrong number,\u201d I lied, keeping my face straight.<\/p>\n
\u201cI turned Thora down anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis studied me for a few seconds. \u201cIf I wasn\u2019t here, would you still turn her down?\u201d<\/p>\n
I pressed my lips together and stayed silent.<\/p>\n

His hand suddenly clamped around my chin, forcing me to lift my face. His grip was firm, impossible to resist, like the overbearing pheromone radiated from his body, holding me completely in place. \u201cTalk.\u201d<\/p>\n
I looked straight at him, my voice calm.<\/p>\n
\u201cLuis, even if we\u2019re dating, people still need private space. Don\u2019t you think you\u2019re crossing a line?\u201d<\/p>\n
He gave a short laugh, brows drawing together. \u201cCrossing a line?\u201d<\/p>\n
Just then, a sharp ringtone cut through the heavy silence.<\/p>\n
Luis casually glanced at his phone, then swept his cold gaze over me.<\/p>\n
I refused to show weakness. I stared right back at him, refusing to back down.<\/p>\n
Finally, he released my chin and stood. His long legs carried him to the marble balcony, where he picked up the call.<\/p>\n
I let out a breath of relief and lowered my head, going back to my meal. Every so often, I glanced through the glass window at the man outside.<\/p>\n
Luis stood outside, his tall frame silhouetted against the night sky.<\/p>\n
Broad shoulders, long legs, dressed in black casual attire. Normally, he came across as laid\u2013back, even a little devilish.<\/p>\n
But now, there was something darker about him, something that radiated the pure control and authority of a pure\u2013blood Alpha.<\/p>\n
I had to admit\u2013I wasn\u2019t ready for a new relationship.<\/p>\n
Still, I pondered about the whole situation. If Jake was upset, what would I have done?<\/p>\n

Back then, just the slightest crease in his brow was enough to make me drop everything and rush to comfort him. I\u2019d bend over backward to make him smile.<\/p>\n
That was how small I\u2019d once been.<\/p>\n
And because of that, now\u2013deep down\u2013I wanted to be different.<\/p>\n
Looking at Luis standing on the balcony, something clicked in me..<\/p>\n
I realized I shouldn\u2019t bring old feelings into a new relationship.<\/p>\n
Puddy let out a soft bark,<\/p>\n
I followed the sound and looked down at him. I stroked his head. \u201cGood boy,\u201d I said. \u201cYour dad seems a little angry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Puddy considerately pressed his fluffy head into my palm like he understood.<\/p>\n
I glanced back at the table. The food was spread out everywhere. Fresh crab meat Luis had just picked apart sat on a plate.<\/p>\n
Enough, Deanna. Why ruin your life over a half\u2013dead ex?<\/p>\n
I put down my fork, stood up, and walked toward the balcony.<\/p>\n
As I approached, Luis\u2019s low, angry voice carried over.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t close this deal without me?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
\u2018Did I hire you experts to do nothing? How are you doing your jobs?\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
I was on the phone when Griffin whispered that Deanna had arrived.<\/p>\n
wrapped up the call with a few words and hung up.<\/p>\n
The next second her soft, pale arms slid around my waist like a warm ribbon.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you mad?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n
Her voice was sweet and gentle.<\/p>\n
It sounded different from the way she usually spoke. It made something in me melt.<\/p>\n
Just those few words and the little sting, the annoyance inside me, blew away like smoke.<\/p>\n
I muttered to myself\u2013what a weakling.<\/p>\n
On the outside I showed nothing, only tugging at the corner of my mouth.<\/p>\n
\u201cHmph. I wouldn\u2019t interfere with Ms. Wiley\u2019s personal life,\u201d I said, though my hand covered hers at my waist and I squeezed her fingers.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you\u2019re my boyfriend, not someone else,\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cSee? I turned my phone off. That means I don\u2019t want to go,\u201d she spoke softly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been with him longer. Some friends might still misunderstand. I\u2019ll change their perception slowly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Halfway through her words I couldn\u2019t stand it anymore. I spun, pulled her into my arms, and sealed her mouth.<\/p>\n
Boyfriend.<\/p>\n
That single word hit me hard; my heart jolted at it.<\/p>\n
I finally realized my need to possess Deanna was deeper than I thought.<\/p>\n
I crushed my mouth down on hers, a sharp, punishing force that left no space between us.<\/p>\n
I wanted to cover her with my breath and my scent so completely that her body and soul would belong to me alone.<\/p>\n
She tried to kiss me back. She let one hand drift up to rest lightly at the base of my neck.<\/p>\n
That small, willing touch set fire and burned all of my restraint away.<\/p>\n
I kissed her with a greed like a beast impossible to satisfy; I devoured the sweetness in her mouth madly.<\/p>\n
I only let go when she went soft in my arms and her whole body smelled like me.<\/p>\n
Deanna leaned against my chest, cheeks flushed, breathing hard. She bumped my ribs with her elbow.<\/p>\n
Her lips were a little swollen from my kisses and looked impossibly tempting.<\/p>\n

My tight expression softened. I ran my hand through her hair. \u201cNext time, tell your friend you\u2019re having dinner with your boyfriend, okay?\u201d I said.<\/p>\n
She curled one corner of her mouth. \u201cYou\u2019re so possessive.\u201d<\/p>\n
I looked at her. My eyes darkened, and my voice went low and rough.<\/p>\n
It will be a long night. That kiss had been only the appetizer. The beast inside of me was still hungry.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you full?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cHmm.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGood. Then I\u2019ll eat now.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, I looped my arm around her waist and lifted her up.<\/p>\n
