The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate

And with nothing else said, he reached down, taking her lips between his.

Quinn's eyes widened in surprise, her lips unmoving as his moved greedily against hers. He pulled back, his already sharp eyes narrowed. “I'm sorry, this wasn't how I wanted this to play out, but it's hard for me to control myself.”

He sighed, the sound full of frustration and desperation. “If you're not gonna push me away, Quinn, then at least kiss me back.”

He took her lips between his again, and Quinn didn't know what choice to make. She was right, his lips were soft and moist and gentle, and the burst of sparks from the sudden contact had her falling right into his trap.

Her hand slowly reached for his black jacket, pulling him closer as her lips finally started to move in sync with his. She didn’t know why, but this felt like fate, his lips felt like they belonged against hers. Heat pooled in the pit of her stomach as her reluctance dispersed into want; lust that she had once only carried for Jeovanni. But now this man had found his way around her brokenness, and he didn't even do anything. His tongue ran along her bottom lip and Quinn instantly gave him access to the inside of her mouth.

His tongue was like a flame, licking and tantalizing her beyond reasoning, and that fire ran all the way to her core. He searched her mouth, every nook, every cranny for something it seemed he couldn't even find, and he didn’t pull away, neither did she...it was someone else who pulled them apart.

Frightened, Quinn looked back at Jeovanni who sported a murderous gaze. “I'm sorry, I need to speak to my beta for a moment.”

“Let's see you stop m~"

Before she could finish, Jeovanni's lips were against hers in a rough and dominating kiss. There was once a time when this would delight her, when his lips against hers would bring her joy...but now it disgusted her.

The fact his lips had been on her sister's and his mark was on her neck made Quinn sick. She fisted her hands, using them to shove him back and away from her, and then she wiped her lips. “Don’t put your disgusting lips on me.”

“I wouldn't have had to if you didn't let him put his on you. I was just erasing the trace of him that was left, nothing more, nothing less.”

“You sound stupid, Jeo. Why reject me when you knew you'd get jealous if I dated someone else? You're making no sense, do you want me or Delilah?”

"I already told you, I want Delilah. I love her.”

“Then leave me alone...!"

“I would if I could.” He ran his hand through his hair and then pointed in the opposite direction of the celebration house. “Go home, Quinn...if you don't, then I'll exile both you and your father who blatantly disrespected me yesterday.”

“You wouldn't.” Quinn dared.

"Ohh, I would, so go.”

Quinn looked at the entrance to the party and then at Jeo. She didn't want to go, the alpha king; she wanted to see him again...to at least say goodbye, but she couldn't bestow misfortune upon her father...not because of a man she barely knew. “Okay...Il go.”

She adjusted her dress, then walked away from Jeovanni. One of her hands reached towards her lips, running along the tender flesh. She was reminiscing, but not on Jeo's kiss.
