Desired By Three Alphas; Fated To One novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Dare

Hailee’s POV

I swallowed hard.

Dane’s words lingered in the air between us, heavy and electrified.

"Let me kiss you."

For a second, I didn’t speak. I couldn’t. My heart was beating so fast I thought it might leap out of my chest. Every nerve in my body lit up, aware of how close he was, how close his lips were.

But I didn’t even hesitate.

"...Okay," I whispered.

The moment the word left my lips, Dane closed the distance. His hand came up to cradle the side of my face—then kissed me.

And gods...

It was nothing like I expected.

Nothing like Nathan’s kiss. Nathan’s was fierce, desperate, like he needed me to breathe.

Nothing like Callum’s. His had been possessive, claiming with hunger.

But Dane’s?

His was slow heat. Passionate and intoxicating.

His lips moved against mine like he had all the time in the world, coaxing rather than taking. I melted into it, into him, my hands clutching the blanket beneath me as I leaned forward without realizing it. His other hand slid to the small of my back, pulling me just a little closer. Not enough to overwhelm—just enough to make my boobs press against his bare chest.

I responded before I could even think about it. My lips parted for him, deepening the kiss, letting him in.

A soft sound escaped my lips.

The kiss grew hungrier, but never lost that tenderness. Like he wanted me—but also wanted to savor me.

When we finally pulled apart, breathless and flushed, my eyes fluttered open to find his staring right back at me.

"Wow," I breathed.

Dane gave a crooked grin, his forehead lightly resting against mine. "Yeah... wow."

I laughed softly, still trying to catch my breath. "That was..."

"Hot?" he offered, his lips brushing mine again.

"Yeah," I murmured, dazed. "Really hot."

But then came the strangest part—I couldn’t pick the best kisser from the three boys...

We sat there, the heat of that kiss still lingering on my lips. I could barely focus, barely think straight. My lips still tingled from where his had pressed, and I was half-tempted to lean in again... but instead, I forced myself to clear my throat and look away.

"Okay," I said, trying to calm my racing heart, "your turn again. Truth or dare?"

Dane’s eyes sparkled mischievously. "Dare."

I bit the inside of my cheek, grinning. "Alright then. Shift into your wolf."

That caught him off guard for a split second. His brows lifted, and then that signature smirk of his curled on his lips.

"You could’ve just said you wanted to see me naked," he drawled, his voice low and teasing.

I rolled my eyes, trying to keep my face from heating all over again. "Please. Don’t flatter yourself."

But that only made his grin widen.

"No shame in being curious," he added smoothly, reaching down to unbutton his jeans. "I mean, you already dared me to take my shirt off, then your top came off... feels only fair, doesn’t it?"

I looked away, biting back a laugh and trying not to stare—but I was staring, wasn’t I?

His fingers made quick work of the button and zipper, and then, with zero hesitation, he slid the jeans down his legs, revealing the black briefs underneath.

My breath caught.

The fabric clung to him—really clung to him—outlining the hard line of his dick. He reached down and casually cupped himself through the briefs, hiding the shaft between his legs as he looked right at me with a smug glint in his eye.
