Chapter 20: Do you find me attractive?
She stared at the man beside her, sleeping quietly on the other side of the bed. Her head was on his arm wrapped around her waist. She couldn't sleep, but it was more like she didn't want to sleep.
She was afraid that she would forget everything again in the morning. She ran her fingers to his face, tracing the lines from his eyebrows down to his nose then to his lips. She will forget her feelings again so she wanted to have a memory of him.
His jet black hair was scattered on the bed and was slightly covering his face. She cleared his hair aside so she could see his face and continued to trace it.
His eyelashes were longer than an ordinary guy's. His face was smooth, no sign that he was shaving it. His lips were plump and red, not like a woman's lips though.
"Hey."
She was startled when he suddenly opened his eyes. He was amused to see her blushing when he caught her staring at him while touching his face.
"I-I was just-"
He chuckled. "Don't be embarrassed. I'm glad you were interested in me. Do you find me attractive?"
She pouted. He was making fun of her, she thought. He was really good looking, sexy and hot. Everything about him was perfect.
"Do you really need to ask me that?"
"Of course! It matters to me." He answered, looking at her with a serious face.
She blushed again. Her heart skipped a beat by what he said, she was happy.
"Y-Yes. You're perfect. How about me? Do you find me attractive?" She asked, curiosity piqued.
He smiled and gave her a quick kiss before answering her question.
"You are breathtaking, my love." He answered.
She couldn't explain her feelings at the moment. Her heart was dancing with joy from his compliment and every time he called her love.
"Z-Zion, what does she look like? You know. Her." She asked.
She didn't know her name and what she looked like. If she was that woman, she wanted to know more about her. It might help her remember.
"I know I told you that she was you, but I don't really like to describe her to you. It's like I'm telling my girlfriend about my ex lover." He said.
She was surprised by what he said. She wanted to make sure that she heard him right so she bit her lips and asked him.
"G-Girlfriend? I-I'm your girlfriend?"
He frowned. Is she that innocent? Did she think that after giving herself to him and knowing that she was the woman he's been looking for, he would just let her go?
"Ari, I thought I made it clear. You are mine. I gave you a temporary mark so everyone will know that you belong to me. I wanted to mark you so badly, but the marking and mating ritual were a lot different from the books you read. Once I mark you, we will share a bond deeper than you could ever imagine. I will explain everything to you little by little. I want you to be prepared. And I want to get your memories back before I claim you. Is that okay?"
She didn't really care if he marked her or not. As long as she's the only woman in her life.
"How about you? Can you promise me that I am the only one? I am not willing to share you with other women."
He kissed her again and smiled.
"I am yours, my love." He answered.
She smiled back and gave him a tight embrace. They were still naked so she could feel the warmth of his body. She gulped when she felt her breasts were brushing through her skin.
"Go to sleep. If you forgot about what happened, then I will make you remember again. If I need to make love to you everyday, every hour and every minute, I will do that." He said in a serious tone.
She wanted to stay awake but she was exhausted and her eyes were closing on its own. Before she fell asleep, Zion whispered something in her ear.
Zion woke up when he heard someone screaming. He stood up and saw Amaris standing on the bed side holding the blanket which was wrapped around her body.
Her golden hair was disheveled and her cheeks were red either from anger or embarrassment. She was glaring at him as if he did something horrible.
"What did you do to me!?" She yelled at him.
He frowned, but he already knew that it would happen. He started walking towards her but she suddenly grabbed the white vase on the side table, aiming at him.
"Don't come near me! I swear I will throw this into your face! Answer me! What did you do to me?" She asked, almost hysterical.
He took a deep breath, brushing his palm to his face.
"Do you think I can force you to come with me and make love the whole night? Tell me, how do you feel? You can feel it in your body if I did something you didn't like." He said, annoyed.
She bit her lips and felt embarrassed. She couldn't remember what they did, the feeling of making love to him was gone, but she knew who he was. Zion, the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack.
"I-I can't remember." She answered.
She started feeling awkward. How could she forget what they did? He was her first. Why can't she remember anything?
She put the vase down when she felt a throbbing pain in her head. Her knees suddenly trembled. She wobbled and was about to fall when a strong hand gently grabbed her on the waist.
She looked at Zion and saw that he was worried. She couldn't really feel that she was mad at him. She tried to push him but he carried her princess style.
"You have a condition. You will keep on forgetting me every time you close your eyes. But I won't give up on you, Ari." He said while putting her down gently on the bed.
She stared into his eyes and saw his loneliness. She couldn't say if she was the reason why he looked so sad, but she felt like crying seeing him like that.
Zion was surprised when tears suddenly flowed from Amaris' eyes.
"Hey, what is it?" He asked, worried while wiping the tears in her cheeks.
"I-I don't know. You are sad. I can see it in your eyes. I suddenly feel so sad, too." She answered.
He sighed and sat on the bed beside her. He touched her on the cheek gently then leaned forward, giving her a kiss on the forehead.
She closed her eyes when she saw him getting closer. When she felt his lips touching her skin, her heart suddenly beat faster. His touch was familiar, her body was reacting to him.
"We'll get through this, Ari. I promise. But for now, let's go to school. Come on! Let's take a shower." He said, casually.
She blushed, thinking that they will take a bath together. She still couldn't remember what happened, but she felt like it was okay to be touched by him. So she nodded and saw his face lit up then he carried her again, and brought her inside the bathroom.
