Fated To Three, Betrayed By All… Until She Rose. - Chapter 118

118: More than just a kiss.

Leilani.

“I do not wish to rekindle any kind of relationship with Keisha.” He drawled gravelly, his voice sounding like the sharp sound of metal scraping against sandpaper, and disbelievingly, I rolled my eyes.

“Yeah, right!” I snorted sarcastically, ignoring the way his gaze lowered as if hurt by my words.

For the first time, I didn’t care that my words would sting.

I didn’t care that his face was growing paler and paler with each passing second.

I didn’t care about anything.

I was just tired of being played with and looked down on like I was nothing more than a pretty face with sharp brains.

My eyes stung with tears, but they weren’t of pain.

They were tears of anger… of betrayal… of hurt.

He sighed.

“Leilani…” My voice came out hoarse and cold as I stared into his eyes unflinchingly, ignoring the flutter in my chest as I drawled; “You see, the same way you tell me there’s nothing going on between you and Keisha and you expect me to believe, that’s how I’d tell you that I have nothing going on with the triplets and also want you to believe.” “But it’s not the same!” He growled, his face contorting in pain.

“You cannot compare what I have with Keisha to what you have with them!” “And what’s the difference?!” I screamed back, rising to my feet when he rose too.

I watched him rub his face in frustration.

I didn’t miss the flush in his cheeks or the way his eyes had hardened so much, they now looked like frozen black water.

“What’s the difference between the two?

You’re fated to her the same way I’m fated to them.

They hurt me like she hurt you… I am still bonded to them the same way you’re still bonded to her, so why the fuck are you so pressed about my relationship with them but you want me to miraculously brush off what you have with her?!” At my utterance, Jay sighed dejectedly, he closed his eyes, took a deep long breath and muttered; “I know that those bastards hurt you, but you cannot compare what they did to you to what Keisha did to me.

And for that reason, there’s no way I’ll ever in my right senses go back to her!” His words- I don’t know why he used them- but they made my chest ache even more.

They made the betrayal I felt in my bones intensify.

I seethed; “You know, that’s rich coming from you.” “Leilani..” “It’s rich that you’ll now compare the different amounts of ‘hurt’ we’ve gone through.

That now you’ll try to brush off my feelings by comparing who was more betrayed by their mate than the other.” “You don’t understand…” he drawled but I quickly raised my hand, waving him off dismissively and blinking away the tears stinging my eyes.

“I don’t want to understand.” “No, you probably should.” He answered relentlessly, “…you should probably know that- I’m sorry to say this- that while the triplets broke you by cheating on you with your sister, Keisha didn’t do that to me.

She cheated, yes, but with a man I never knew.” “And what difference does that make?” “The difference it makes is the fact that I would’ve taken her back if cheating was the only crime she committed!” He yelled so loudly, the veins at the sides of his neck popped.

His eyes flashed with something scary, something maniacal and I knew that I should back down now but I didn’t, instead, I walked over to him until we were standing chest to chest.

-Now, if I’m being sincere, it wasn’t chest to chest.

It was face to chest.

My face to his chest.

“And what is the other crime she committed?” I asked coldly, whilst folding my arms across my chest as I looked up to glare at him.

He sighed, his face completely crumpling.

“She killed my sister.” And as soon as those words slipped past his lips, my breath hitched.

I felt my chest tighten with an emotion I couldn’t name and a shuddering breath escaped my lips. “She killed my sister… and my mother who couldn’t live with the pain, especially knowing that her daughter died as a result of my mate’s rebelliousness, died exactly two weeks later from heartbreak.” My vision burned, and for some strange reason, goosebumps slowly spread across my skin.

“Jarek… I… I didn’t-” “And do you know what makes it worse?

Do you know why her crimes seem unforgivable?” He asked, but because I could no longer find my voice, I shook my head at him and stopped to wipe the corners of my eyes with the back of my hand.

“Then she cheated.

She ran off with a man named Gerald.

She bore him a daughter… and she named her Grace.

Same name as my sister whom she murdered.” I gasped.

“No…” No.

No.

“So you see, Leilani, you really have nothing to worry where Keisha is concerned.

She’s a closed book to me.

And the only reason why we’re still bonded is because just like the triplets, she’s refused to accept my rejection.” I opened my mouth then to talk but no words could come out.

I was totally lost for words.

Absolutely shocked by the amount of pain that Jay had been put through by his mate.

Indeed, it wasn’t the same.

It was not the same at all.

Tears streamed down my face before I could stop them and I only realized that I was crying when I felt a warm thumb brush against my cheek. My eyes widened at the contact but returned to its normal size when my eyes snagged on Jarek’s warm ones, now staring down at me with an intensity that was both nerve wracking and knee melting.

I sighed.

“I’m sorry.” “You didn’t hurt me… you never have.

In fact, you’re the best thing that’s happened to me, so don’t apologize.” “I know.

I know, really.

But I am indeed very sorry.” I said again.

I opened my mouth to say something more- just anything that could bring a smile to his sad face; But as soon as my lips parted, Jarek’s mouth slammed down on mine, sending sparks of electricity running up my spine.

I opened my mouth to him, allowing him to devour me.

To taste me.

To drink me like I wanted to drink him.

The kiss was charged with tons and tons and tons of tension, but nothing about it was brutal.

If anything, it was sweet.

It was gentle.

It felt as though he was asking my permission to go deeper.

Like he feared I would break if he released his restraints.

My hands wrapped around his neck as he hoisted me up and instinctively, I wrapped my legs around his waist.

His tongue teased mine slowly, sending jolts of electricity down my spine, and I could almost feel the emotions he wasn’t saying, pouring into every movement as he ravished my mouth.

His hands slid up my back, pulling me close, as though he couldn’t stand the thought of even an inch of space between us.

And I… I pressed into him wantonly, completely lost in the intensity of his touch, my heart pounding in sync with his.

His lips moved against mine, rough and sweet at the same time, and I found myself sinking deeper and deeper into this pleasure his mouth promised.

Slowly, I could feel the world dissolving into dust around us.

It faded into nothing but the heat of his lips and the weight of his body pressing against mine. My fingers slipped into his hair and I moaned and I held onto it as if I was afraid to let go.

It felt like this kiss was the only thing keeping me tethered to reality… like it was my anchor to sanity.

I could feel his heartbeat hammering against my chest, wild and frantic, and I knew he felt it too, the way this kiss was more than just a kiss. -But just when he started to lower me onto one of my couches, his lips trailing wet sloppy kisses down my neck and chest, the doorbell rang.

I froze.

Then when our eyes met, and we both burst out laughing, blushing as embarrassment quickly replaced sexual tension.

CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Ahvahh_ I know a lot of you hate me right now for being so cruel and it”™s expected.

Anyways, I love you too.

From my heart!!
