A Beta's Undying Love

Anne T. Thyssen Paranormal

“Lily. Look at me,” his dark voice said, and I couldn’t help but feel compelled to do as he said.
My eyes slowly rose from the ground, and met his deep ocean blue ones. I was drowning in them the second that I looked into them, and knew I had made a stupid mistake, doing what he had told me to.
“Please. I need to get back to work,” I heard myself whisper, yet I did not move from my spot.
I was captured by his strong and powerful gaze, not that I wanted to move, even if I could. Everything about him was so intoxicating. His looks, his piercing eyes and his strong musky scent. It made my heart skip a beat, whenever I took a breath in. It was hard not to wonder what it was going to feel like being touched by him, and not just something as innocent as his hand on my cheek. No, my thoughts were much darker and with a lot less clothes on for both parts.
You need to stop yourself!
No, don’t stop! Kiss him. He is so close!
Stop yourself!
No. Don’t!
Yes, stop!
My heart and head were fighting each other in an intense battle about what to do. My head told me to leave, but my heart wanted something completely different. I knew the right thing, was to listen to my head. So I quieted my heart and told myself it was time to get up, but before I could even get the change to move, two strong big hands placed themselves on my neck, and pulled me onto warm lips, that hungrily yet softly tasted me.
