“Oh god,” I moaned out loud as his teeth grazed down the sensitive skin of my neck, making me shiver.

I was coming off the suppressant pills, and one of the side effects of quitting, after taking them for so long, was turning into a hormone-fueled mess. It felt as if fire was burning me from the inside out. My whole body felt hyper-sensitive to the minimum touch.

Sometimes I didn’t even need Zephyr to touch me. Just his scent was enough to make a gush of wetness stream thighs. It was embarrassing that Zephyr knew that my body was reacting in this way to his mere presence. I moaned again when his tongue licked its way up the pulse on my neck, the sensation sending another wave of wetness to my core making me pulse with need. Damn it. I was a mess.

We were scenting, like we usually did before dinner. This part was always fun, but now that I was a hormonal mess, I could barely stand this. I couldn’t stop craving for more. Wanting him to just cross that invisible line and take me hard and rough right here on the floor of our room while everyone waited for us down in the dinner hall.

“Zephyr.” My voice came out in a sultry whisper as I circled my arms around his neck, shamelessly pulling him closer. “Do we really have to go to this dinner? I was thinking we could stay here a little longer… maybe get to know each other a little better?” I asked, arching my eyebrows suggestively.

His green eyes stared down at me, his hands still firmly placed on my waist. He looked conflicted for a second before he finally spoke. “You know I can’t do that, Sabrina,” he said slowly, stepping away from me, while I stood frozen on my spot, not knowing what to feel. “Ready?” he asked, already by the door, waiting for me. His casual tone made me feel even worse. He had just rejected me and was acting as if nothing had happened. I nodded and followed him, swallowing the humiliation and my tears for later.

We arrived together at the dinner grand hall and took our usual seats at the grand table, Zephyr at the head of the table, already busy in conversation with a male council member whose name I didn’t know. I sat on his right, still reeling from his rejection. I couldn’t stand it anymore. The tension between Zephyr and I had been growing every day. There were touches that lingered a heartbeat too long, gazes that seemed to stretch forever. But every time things got heated like today, he pulled back. And I was reaching my breaking point. Or maybe I had imagined all of it?

A flicker of movement to my left caught my attention and my eyes caught Enrik’s stormy grey eyes. I glanced at Zephyr, noting that he was now in deep conversation with Anphyr and the male council member. He hadn’t so much as looked at me since we sat down.
