I responded to his kiss without even thinking about the promises I had made to myself. There was something about Derek that made him completely addictive. How could I resist this alpha? After all, he was a fucking attractive man, and now he was my husband.




Even though this whole marriage was a lie, I was his wife, and that implied a lot.




On the other hand, the kiss lasted until Derek decided to end it. Suddenly a playful smirk tugged at his lips as he looked at me teasingly.




I couldn't help but look away as my cheeks reddened with embarrassment.




"Wow, Katlyn, didn't you see that you can't even resist my charms? It only comes out once you're attracted to me. After all, it's normal, all the girls fall at my feet" He said, making my heart beat fast.




Could this man be more self-centred?


"Yeah, well, I'm attracted to you, happy?" I said gritting my teeth.




I knew he just wanted to hear that, it's part of a greedy man like him.




"Let's see, I don't think I heard you right" He said surprised.




I rolled my eyes and folded my hands. "I already said it, and I think that's enough" I said.




However, before I could turn and walk away, he grabbed my arm and pulled me to his muscular chest. I felt the warmth of her skin collide against my gaze sending hundreds of sparks to my core.




I shook my head trying to pull away, but he kissed me again. Fuck, my body stilled in a second. But, just as his tongue started to run around the inside of my mouth, I heard someone open the door.




Derek let go of my lips and walked out of the room. I stood still as I watched the door close in front of me. I just sighed and went back to my room.


Soon the hours had passed, and now I was standing in front of the wardrobe, struggling to choose the perfect dress for dinner that night.




There were over a hundred beautiful dresses, all of them fabulous, with unique and modern designs.




My stomach was turning with nervousness, until a thought crossed my mind. Why was I nervous? This wasn't even a night to enjoy myself, besides, Derek doesn't care if something looks good on me.




Thinking about it I shook my head and picked up the first dress that caught my eye. It was black, low-cut, with a slit up one leg, and a tight waist. I looked at myself in front of the mirror and sighed. It was obvious that the black color matched my pale skin perfectly.




I lightly made up my face and let my hair down. A few minutes later I decided to go out of the wardrobe and look for the idiot who was now sitting on the couch looking at his phone.




"Hey, asshole" I said growling.




Derek immediately turned his gaze towards me with a scowl on his face. A smirk left my lips when I saw his annoyed expression, it was obvious that he didn't like my call.




"Me, an idiot?" he asked, getting up from the couch.


My eyes widened like two plates when I saw him get up. He was wearing a black suit with a white shirt underneath. Several buttons were loose, leaving them on his muscular chest. His arms were on the verge of tearing the thin fabric of his shirt, while his hair was slightly slicked back.




I stood motionless observing how fucking attractive this man was....




"No wonder there will be numerous women surrounding you soon" He said laughing.




"Don't worry alpha Derek.... I'll be a good wife, sweet and eloquent with the public" I said with a gesture of surrender.




"Yeah, you still look beautiful tonight" He added, winking at me.




My eyes opened like two plates when I heard that my heart beat so fast that it seemed to want to burst out of my chest. I couldn't believe the alpha Derek said that. Damn, his raspy voice made it fucking special....




"Stop making jokes" I muttered, hiding my face.


I didn't want him to see me blushing at his praise. I didn't need to let him know that I liked his words. That would make him more self-centred and unbearable.




"Well, come on, we have to go. They're waiting for us" He said taking my arm.




I was very surprised at how chivalrously he was pulling me away. He didn't seem to care about women, but this ruthless alpha that everyone describes seems to be completely different.




He pressed my body against his as he grabbed my waist, it seemed like we weren't just pretending, he seemed so real.




What the fuck was going through my mind? I shouldn't be thinking about that. I shook my head and looked back at the road.




Soon we were out of the mansion as Derek's men and his beta were stealthily following us. As soon as we got to the car, one of the men opened the door for me and Peter nodded politely as I waited for Derek to sit behind the wheel, instead he sat next to me.


I was shocked at that, but I rolled towards the window, as he seemed to get closer and closer. Fuck, his presence caused a strange feeling inside me. But at the same time I was very annoyed and irritated.




"Could you move over there? "I said pointing to the space between him and the other window" I don't even have room to move" I replied.




He just smiled in response " Fuck, you talk too much. If you don't stop complaining I'll have to kiss you" He said warningly.




My eyebrow went up making a shiver go around my body "I don't care, but move over there, I can't move" I said clenching my jaw.




After saying that, I thought this man would grab me and kiss me, but luckily he only made a gesture and moved the other way, which made me feel a glimmer of relief.




"Katlyn, you have to remember something... you are forbidden to talk to other men at the party, or walk away from me without my permission, do you understand?" He said seriously.


I looked at him with a frown "How can you have the guts to forbid? I should be the one to warn you... "




I wanted to finish my words when Derek looked me straight in the eye while frowning.
