章 64: Chapter 64

My head is not the only thing that is about to explode. My heart is as well, nearly bursting after the kiss he gave. He seems to sense this, crawling across the bed to me.

"Now we can finally act like mates. I have waited so long for this... for you."

He takes my arm and gently runs kisses up and down it. Shock temporarily overwhelms me as he pins me down, kissing my neck.

He stops for a second, inches away from my mouth, as if he expects me to reach up and kiss him back.

"Scotty... uh, Kurtis... don't you think this is a little fast?"

I ask him, a little scared by his expression and behavior. He just looks at me, clueless.

"Fast? What do you mean by that?" he asks, his brown eyes creasing in confusion.

"Do you not feel the attraction as well? We are mates, Berenice."

"No, it is just... I'm a little conflicted right now." I sit up, leaning against the back of the bed.
