Nick POV
I let her leave the bathroom, and I try to calm down. Fuck what is this woman doing to me? She drives me crazy. I take my shirt off, wait a few minutes, and head out of the bathroom to meet them at the pool. I walk down the stairs and lead to the back. I see them all leaning against the pool wall. Josh has Taylor on his left; next to him is my sister Rose, then Logan, and next to him is Mariah. I ball my fist, the bastard always behind her ass. I run and jump in the pool, splashing them.
“Heyyy.” They yell in unison.
I swim to them and stand next to Mariah. I smirk when I feel her stiffen next to me. She tries to move away, but I grab her thighs to stop her. She freezes in her spot, and I look at her and give her a smirk. Everyone is drinking and speaking except Mariah.
“Cats got your tongue,” I whisper in her ear.“Nick,” she says warningly.
I let go of her thigh and slowly moved my hand to the band of her bikini panty. I hear her breath hitch, and I’m satisfied with her reaction. It’s dark outside, so I don’t have to worry about anyone seeing what I’m doing. I slip my hand lower, and she grabs my wrist, but since her hands are shaking, it does nothing to stop me. I keep sliding my hand down I reach her pussy and start doing little circles. I see her bite her lips, so I increase the paste. I’m about to put a finger inside her when I hear an annoying voice call me, and I move my hand away.
“Babe, there you are; sorry I’m late, guys,” Mila says.
“Here I am,” I say, annoyed that she disturbed my moment.
She walks towards us, gets in the pool next to me, and wraps her hands around me. Mariah looks at her hands and looks away.“I’m going for a swim, you guys,” Mariah says and swims away.
Everyone returns to talking, but my eyes are stuck on the goddess swimming around. I look to ensure no one is looking at her, and I’m glad when I notice no one is. I see her go inside the waterfall. “Good girl, the perfect spot for no one to see us.” I think to myself. We keep talking, and I keep looking, ensuring she doesn’t come out of the waterfall just yet.
“Where did Mariah go?” Rose asks.
“Probably inside,” Josh says.
“Let’s go in and get some food,” Logan says.
“Okay.” Everyone says.
“Are you coming, babe,” Mila asks.
“No, I’m going to stay here a little longer; you can go if you want,” I reply.
“Okay, I see you inside.” She leans in to kiss me, but I turn my head, and she kisses me on the cheek instead.
“What the hell is wrong with you.” She says, clearly annoyed, but I don’t care.“Nothing, I’m just not in the mood, Mila, that’s all,” I reply coldly.
She huffs mad and leaves. I wait for her to go inside and swim to the waterfall. There she is, leaning on the wall with her eyes closed.
“What’s troubling you, beautiful,” I say, startling her.
Mariah POVI swam away from the group. I couldn’t take it anymore. I don’t know what is going on with Nick. He never paid any mind to me growing up, even before he left for Alpha training during the summer. So why now? What changed? Ugh, I’m so frustrated. I don’t know why he makes me feel the things I do. I had to leave his touch, which almost had me moaning. I need to stay away from him.“What’s troubling you, beautiful.” I hear Nick say, and I get startled.“What are you doing here, Nick?” I ask.“Just came to check on the most beautiful girl in the world,” He replies.“I’m fine. I was just about to head inside.” I say, trying to swim past him.He grips my arm and pushes me against the rocky wall behind the waterfall. I whimper as my back hits the wall. He has me pin again; this time, I don’t think I will get away quickly. He is looking at me with lust and hunger in his eyes. I swallow hard, feeling goosebumps all over my body. He leans in and licks my neck right where my mate mark
Mariah POVI walk in with Rose, and I see our group getting ready to start playing beer pong. The boys are on one side of the table, and the girls are on the opposite. I get close to them with a smile plaster on my face, but my stomach is a mess right now.“Look who I found,” Rose says.“About time we are ready to start playing; only you and Nick were missing; where is he anyway.? Mila says, clearly annoyed.“He is coming. He was outside in the waterfall.” Rose replies.“Why was he in the waterfall?” Mila asks and looks at me.I bite my lip and shrug. I can’t even form words. I freeze when I smell his scent getting closer. I can feel his stare on me, and it makes me shiver.I walk to the girl’s side, trying to act like nothing is wrong.“Who’s’ ready to get their ass beat by the beer pong king,” Nick says arrogantly.“Yeah, whatever you guys are so going down,” Mila says with a smirk.“Okay, we need to pick our team captains,” Rose says.“I call Captain,” Logan says, and all the guys
Nick POVI pull away from Mila, annoyed that she pushed Mariah so hard. Who the hell she thinks she is. I think to myself. I see the group walking to the dance floor. Mila says something and grabs my hand, but I’m not paying any attention to what she is saying. My eyes are stuck on Mariah’s hips; the way she is moving her hips so sensual makes my dick twitch. Mila pulls me onto the dance floor and starts grinding on me. I start following her rhythm, but I keep my eyes on Mariah. I saw Logan approach her and ask her something, and she smiled.Next, he gets behind her, and she starts grinding her ass all on him. My blood starts boiling, and my claws come out, scratching Mila.“Ouch, babe, you are hurting me,” Mila whimpers.“Oh, shit, sorry,” I say, my eyes snapping to Mila’s waist. I see a few scratches.“What is wrong with you today?” She asks and glares at me.“Nothing. I’m just tired and not in a mood.” I reply, glaring right back at her.“Whatever, I’m out.” She says and storms awa
Mariah POVI’m lying staring at the ceiling, thinking, what just happened? Why, when he touches me, I become mush. “Ugh, that arrogant bastard.” I groan. I get up and fix myself to go back downstairs. “Fuck I smell just like him; everyone is going to notice,” I say to myself. I finish fixing myself and head to the door; I open the door slowly and peek outside. “Okay, the coast is clear; now I just have to get to the pool without anyone noticing me.” I think to myself. I walk out and start walking down fast, trying to avoid anyone from catching me before I arrive at the pool. I’m almost outside, and I start feeling like I can get away from these when Logan’s voice makes me stop in my tracks.“Hey there, you are. Where have you been? We have been looking for you.” Logan says.I turn around and chuckle awkwardly. “Ha ha, here I am; now catch me if u can,” I say and run towards the pool. He almost caught me, but I jumped into the pool; he jumped right after me and pulled me towards him un
Nick POVI park my truck in the driveway of the pack house. I don’t get out because I don’t need anyone to question why I’m mad. My wolf is agitated, so I might just go for a run. He wanted to rip Logan apart, but I had to push him back and fight for control. "Fuck, she got me so mad. Why the fuck did she let him kiss her and hold her?" I think to myself. I almost lost my sh*t when she called him a baby. “Are they dating? Fuck.” I groan and punch the steering wheel. I grab my phone and send her a text.“You owe me a conversation, Riah, and what the hell was that back there? Were you trying to piss me off because if it was, it worked?" I text.I turn my phone off and wait for her reply. My phone beeps, and I smirk when I see her name pop up.“I don’t owe you any explanation. Nick, I’m tired of repeating this to you; just because we fucked doesn’t mean you owe me. I’m done with your little games. Pay attention to your girl and leave me alone.” Mariah replies.I let out a growl, my wolf
Mariah’s POVThis week has gone by in a blur. I have been avoiding Nick every time I can. I’m trying to make things obvious so that my best friend and brother don’t question me. Logan and I have been hanging out a lot. Everyone brought up the fact that we were dating each other. My parents didn’t like me dating someone who wasn’t my mate, but they respected my decision. I wish I could have told them it was all pretend, that I was only trying to mess with Nick, but I can't tell them that.Its Friday night, and I'm getting ready in my best friend's room. We are all going to the movies tonight. Taylor and Logan are picking us up in twenty minutes. Nick said we could tag with them since we were all going to the same place, but I refused, which obviously got him upset. Nick and my brother are going with Mila and Nancy, who will meet my brother over there. I have a white solidpleated hem skort with a white crop top and some white slip-on flat shoes. My hair is up in ahigh ponytail, and I
Nick POVI see her there smelling my pillow and I smile, she hasn't seen me, so I take advantage of it; I walk gently towards her once I reach her, I wrap my hands around her waist. I can sense her body tensing up as she tries to catch her breath and her heart rate quickens."What am I going to do with you, Riah?" I lean up close and murmur into her ears.When asked, she sighs. "Nick, what the hell did I do?"She spins around and I pull her close to me. When I saw Logan kissing you, it was like a knife to my heart."Nick, he's my boyfriend, so kissing me is totally normal." She responds.What I mean is, "I don't like it; I should be the only one allowed to kiss these lips." I stroke her bottom lip with my finger.Nick, listen to me: "We can't keep doing this; it's not right. She states."Why, give me a reason, and it better be a good one." I say sharply.What better reason could there be that we would hurt people like my brother and your sister? "How do you think they'll react if they
