Caroline’s POV
When I finally collected myself and stepped out of the room,the conference room was empty except for Draven. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
He sat tall at the head of the table,unmoving,radiating a powerful presence. His golden-brown hair was slicked back smoothly,sharp and polished,perfectly framing his chiseled,handsome face. Those violet eyes held a deep,fierce intensity as they locked onto me,as if afraid I might disappear from his sight again.
I was alone with him once again.I approached where I had been sitting to take my things,trying to stay cool and calm.
As I got closer,Draven reached out with lightning speed and pulled me onto his lap,wrapping his strong arms around me.
The cedar and musky scent that was uniquely him enveloped me as he whispered against my ear,"You have no idea how much I’ve missed you,Carrie."
His deep,smooth voice hit me in a way I didn’t expect,making my stomach tighten and my heart skip a beat. The bond between us,whatever it was,felt overwhelming.
"Alpha Draven,please,don’t do this to me," I begged,trying to pull away from his arms.
"Please,Carrie. Don’t leave me. Don’t shut me out anymore," he said,holding me tighter to his chest.
"Alpha Draven,I’ve made myself clear. Please leave my life. I don’t want any more ties with you. Let me go," I said firmly,even though I knew it was a lie.
I love him,I do. But I can’t forgive the humiliation,the hurt. I love him,but I love my dignity more.
"No. I’m not letting go. Carrie,I know you love me too. Stop pretending," he said,then pressed his lips to mine.
His kiss was rough and hot,his tongue pushing past my lips without hesitation. He kissed me deep and slow,sometimes soft,sometimes demanding,until I couldn’t fight it anymore. I should hate him,but my body had other ideas. I couldn’t help moaning as our tongues met. Something between us just clicked,like we were meant to be together.
He grabbed the back of my head to deepen the kiss,his other arm pulling me tight against his chest. Desire raced through my body,and I couldn’t control it. Everywhere he touched set my skin on fire,making my whole body tingle until my legs went weak.
My common sense went right out the window,replaced by pure need. His touch,his heat,it was all too much. I was completely lost in his kiss,and I couldn’t stop even if I tried.
