#Chapter 41 – I can explain.
Lila's POV
Everything happened so fast; my heart was racing at lightning speed as Enzo lifted me onto the sink. Instinctively, I wrapped my legs around him; mainly to keep myself from falling off the sink, but also because it just felt right.
I felt him between my legs, pressing himself against me and growing through his pants. I wrapped my arms around the back of his neck and felt his lips closing in around mine.
I closed my eyes as he kissed me.
His lips were so soft and inviting; everything about him was just so good. The way he smelled, the way he felt, the way my heart raced whenever I was around him, and I can't forget about the sweet bliss Val felt.
I could feel her running laps in my mind's eye and howling in delight as Enzo continued the embrace.
He bit onto my bottom lip and brought it into his mouth hungrily. At this moment, he wanted me as much as I wanted him.
Nothing was in my mind; I didn't think about Connie or what she had said previously, and I wasn't thinking about how Enzo had treated me.
Is this what it truly feels like to have a mate?
His hands ran down my back, sending goosebumps across my flesh as he played with the zipper on my dress. He wanted to take my dress off and I wanted to let him.
Just as I heard the zipper being sent down my back, the door of the bathroom swung open, and I heard a loud gasp!
Enzo jumped away from me like I was infected, and I found myself vulnerable on the sink, about to fall. Thankfully, he realized quickly what he had done and caught me before I completely fell to the ground.
“Lila?!” I heard a familiar voice as the door slammed shut and latched.
I turned to see Brianna standing before us with wide and alarmed eyes.
"Oh, my goddess!” She breathed, staring between Enzo and me.
“You both looked like you wanted each other very much a little bit ago,” she said, a smirk appearing on her lips.
I felt my face warming and I glanced down at my feet.
“I don't know,” I told her with a quick shrug. “He isn’t the romantic type. He's not always nice to me... he cares more about his work than anything else. I've heard from everywhere that he doesn't want a mate because he finds them to be a distraction.” I paused for a moment as I met her eyes once again. “I don't think he believes in love, Bri..."
"And you need someone who's as crazy about love as you are,” she said with a sigh; it wasn't a question.
Brianna knew me better than anyone because we'd known each other our whole lives. I should have told her about this to begin with and not hidden it from her. I didn’t blame her for being upset with me for that.
She knew how important finding my mate was to me. I had envisioned the perfect romance and Enzo did not live up to that expectation.
She had a sad look in her eyes when I nodded at her statement.
“Maybe there's more to him than you know,” Bri suggested with a kind smile. “You never know unless you try.”
“I don't think he wants to try.”
“That moment in the bathroom looked like he wanted to try,” Bri said, a sly smile spreading across her lips.
“It was a moment of weakness. His wolf was taking over, and I was losing control over mine. I don't think that's something that'll happen again,” I told her with a sigh of my own.
The sun was setting, and I had just remembered I wanted to visit Becca before visiting hours are over.
"Oh! I need to get to the hospital,” I said quickly, glancing back at the exhibit. I didn't want to leave without saying goodbye, but I was also cutting it close to visiting hours and needed to leave right away if I wanted to see her tonight.
“Go on,” Bri said, nudging me away from the exhibit. “I'll cover for you.”
I smiled, relieved, at her and then I hugged her tightly.
“Thank you,” I breathed. “I love you.”
“Love you too, boo,” she said in return just as we parted ways. “Call me later!” She shouted after me. I managed to get to the hospital 30 minutes before visiting hours ended. When I got to Becca's room, she was lying in her bed and scrolling through her phone casually.
I could hear the beeping of her heart monitor and it seemed steady. She had a couple of IVs in her arms, and she looked pale as a ghost.
I felt sick knowing I did this to her.
She glanced up at me and her eyes widened as soon as I walked into the room.
“Becca...” I breathed, trying to hold back the tears I wanted to cry.
I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but I certainly wasn't expecting what came out of her mouth. "What did you do to me...?"
