Chapter 31

Cyn’s POV


I woke up in an unfamiliar room. I looked around and frowned, “where am I?” I asked the room. “Baby, you’re at my house remember?” Josh told me. Relieved, I laughed a little. The haziness of sleep must’ve gotten to me.
The room remained silent as Josh and I stared at each other. Every once in a while his eyes would flicker down to my lips and I knew that he wanted to kiss me. “What are you thinking?” I sounded breathless.
His husky voice whispered in my ear, “just want to taste your juicy lips.”
A shiver went through me and I felt my core get hot. I squeezed my thighs together and hoped he wouldn’t smell my arousal. However, his nose flared and I knew that he caught wind of it. “Oh baby,” his voice was deeper than before, if that’s even possible!
“Yes?” I whispered to him.
I guess the time for words was over. He leaned down and his lips met mine in a storm of fireworks. He grabbed my hips and lifted me so I can wrap my legs around his waist. He slammed me against the wall with a growl and ripped off my shirt. I gasped, surprised by his strength. My body shakes in want as Josh grabs my butt cheeks and squeezes hard. I yelped a little and then moaned loudly when I feel a sharp sting on my neck. I feel overcome by a strong sensation in my lower stomach. A chill goes through my body and I begin creaming my panties. “Fuck!” He growled as he continued sucking on my neck. He grabs my face to pressed his lips to mine again. His tongue had a copper flavor and I realized he must’ve drank my blood. His cock is rock hard beneath my core and I have a strong urge to find out exactly how it feels.
“Will you fuck me?” I whispered to him.
His eyes widened and he pulled back before wiping his mouth. “Fuck!” He yells out and I know that the moment was ruined. “Get dressed,” he muttered hoarsely and slammed the door behind himself.
I stood there like a fish out of water for a few minutes before I gathered my torn clothes and went into the closet to get dressed. I found a nice white dress which a tight bodice and a full skirt so I went with those along with some black ballet flats.
When I get out of the room, I tiptoed forward. I’m not really sure where I’m going. “Hello Cyn, babe.” I turned around to see dirty blonde hair and deep blue eyes, similar to Josh, but older. “Um, good morning,” I greet him. He tilts his head to the side like he’s thinking, “everything okay? Do I need to kick my brother’s ass?” Okay, so that’s his brother, that’s good to know.
“Nope, everything is great,” I smiled awkwardly, willing him to leave me alone.
“You ready?” I hear Josh ask me from the doorway.
“Yeah, coming,” I replied. I spared one last glance towards his brother and found him already staring at me. I felt my cheeks get hot and turned to face forward.
The ride to school was supremely awkward because of what happened this morning. I had a million questions but didn’t know how to voice them.
“Did I do something wrong?” I finally asked as we pulled into the school parking lot.
“I can’t do this with you Cyn, it wouldn’t be right without your memories. I don’t want a spur of the moment romance, I want you to stay with me. You did nothing wrong, I’ve been kicking myself in the ass for letting it go so far this morning. I wanted to feel your body underneath me so bad I couldn’t stand it.”
My stomach clenched in need and I had to hold back from kissing him again. I looked in his deep blue eyes and knew he was telling the truth, he did want me. They were deeper than normal and his pupils were dilated. My breath quickened as he leaned down towards me. I closed my eyes and felt him peck the corner of my mouth, I whimpered as he pulled away.
“Let’s work on getting your memories back, okay?” He smiled gently at me, his sexy dimples showing.
We finally got out of the car and I was immediately intercepted by Helena. “Good morning beautiful!” She sang while grabbing my arm and yanking me away from Josh. “What was that?” She whispered in my ear. “Nothing, just a friendly peck. There’s nothing going on between us.” I answered her sadly.
“Oh damn,” she muttered while looking behind me. I turned and watched Tucker walk into the school looking like an entire snack. His hair was slightly windswept and his hazel eyes scanned the crowd, looking for someone. His eyes finally landed on me and he strutted towards us, never breaking eye contact. My breath hitched as he grabbed me around the waist and pulled me flush against his body. His hard muscles flexed under his shirt as his lips came crashing down onto mine. I gasped, my mouth opening for him. I could feel his smirk as he slowly inserted his tongue into my mouth. His lips just felt right against mine and it was ecstasy. Taken by the moment, I wrapped my arms around his neck and stood on my tiptoes to get even closer to him.
Suddenly, Tucker was ripped from my arms by a livid Josh. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing? You’re taking advantage of her!” He growled in Tucker’s face, spit flying everywhere.
“I’m not taking advantage of my girlfriend. Besides, why should you care? She’s not yours, never has been. Unless something happened between the two of you while I was gone?” His eyes burned with hatred for Josh.
I felt my stomach drop as I tried to assess how to defuse the situation.
Thankfully, Helena was already on it. “You two need to stop with the pissing contest. How is this supposed to help Cyn with her memories? You both need to give her space. In fact, how about this, come stay with me for awhile,” Helena offered as she turned to look at me. I felt that she had a good point and that maybe some time away from the boys will help set my mind straight.
The crowd in the hall thinned and I realized class had already started. Shit!
“We need to get to class!” I panicked. Helena grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the classroom with Josh following close behind. Tucker went his own way to his class. I could see the stress in his rigid spine as he walked away.
The three of us walked into the room and the teacher glared at us as we took our seats. “Tell me everything later,” Helena mouthed at me before I turned my attention to the lesson.
When class was over, I nearly ran out of the room, trying to make it to the restroom as quickly as possible. I had to pee so bad! After I did my business, I washed my hands and was about to exit when somebody burst in. “Cyn!” A male calls after me.
“Yes?” I asked, fear evident in my eyes. Why would a guy be looking for me in the woman’s restroom, something doesn’t feel right. He reached for my face and rubbed his knuckles across my cheekbone. I felt sparks fly and was shocked at how amazing it felt. I leaned into his touch as he smiled down at me. Suddenly I stiffened as I remembered Helena describing the mate bond and the guy who was my fated mate. “You must be Alex.” I muttered. He looked at me in confusion as I started panicking internally. Helena had explained to me that we had issues like him cheating on me and then forcefully marking me. He’s the reason I’m in this mess with my mind in the first place. “I-I gotta go.” I whispered as I tried to sidle past. Heat radiated from his body as I went around him. Before I could get far, he grabbed my elbow.
“What do you mean I must be Alex? Are you tripping Cyn?”
“I said that by accident, let me go to class Alex.”
“I‘ll walk you,” he said in a way that indicated there’d be no room to argue.
He seemed lost in thought as I walked by his side to head to class. As I passed him to walk to my seat he leaned in close to my ear to whisper, “I’ll find out what you’re hiding, or you can tell me and save yourself some pain later.” Chills ran down my spine, and not in a good way. Helena was right, this man was a manipulative asshole. He smirked as he made his way to his seat. I stood frozen until Josh walked in and pulled me down into a seat. “What’s going on?”
I didn’t know how to answer that.
