Torn between two

Chapter 5

Daniel’s POV

I woke up on her balcony, completely dazed and butt-naked. Her strong scent and the fact that she was so near, must’ve made me doze off last night after our run. Luckily, it was still early and she was still sleeping, so I could get out of here without anyone noticing. This would’ve been a total disaster and a game over for me if anyone saw me.

Still in a daze I made my way towards the woods where I left my clothes last night and as soon as I recovered them, I called Layla. The phone keeps ringing, and no answer. Just as I’m about to end the call she picks up; “Danny…? What’s up?” she whispers, obviously just waking up.

“Can you please find out what Dunya´s doing today and maybe get to know her?”

“Why can´t you do it yourself? Now would be a good chance to talk to her and maybe apologize about yesterday” She sleepily mumbles.

“I did nothing wrong. It was that f*****g leech” I fumed my wolf getting the best of me.

“Suuuuure. It wasn´t like you punched him in the middle of a nightclub!” She huffs. “Where are you anyway and why are you calling me at this time?”

“Doesn´t matter. Can you just please do it for me.” I sighed deeply.

“Of course Danny… You know I would do anything for you…”

After a long shower, I quickly dress and head to the beach where Layla said they were at. After her text, I hadn´t hear anything from her, so I tried mind-linking her.

“Where are you??”

“We’re going to get some ice cream. Remember the little ice cream shop, by the docks? Where dad used to take us?” She pauses for a second as if I need time to think about it. Of course, I remember the ice cream shop. Those were the happiest moment in our lives when we used to go there together.

“Yeah, we’re headed that way, and I told her, we’re meeting you there. So, hurry up.” And with that she cuts the mind-link.

I smelt her right away, there she was. if it’s even possible, she looked even more beautiful than before. Her hair beautifully and naturally curly, as yesterday when I first saw her. She looked extremely sexy in her short shorts, that barely covered her perfectly round ass and tight tank top which was still wet and showing her bikini underneath. She was smiling and I could see that she had the cutest dimples as she did. Once again, I could only stand there and stare at this amazing goddess.

Layla jumps to hug me when she notices me standing there, bringing me back to reality. “She’s perfect. I think I’m in love with her already.” She whispers and let's go of me.

“Dunya! You two have already met, this is Danny.” Layla introduces me.

“Yeah, your boyfriend.” Dunya quickly replies. Wait what? She thought we were dating? Eww.

“No, my big brother.” Layla laughs correcting her. “Did you really think we were together?”

“Yes. I mean, I you two seemed really close...” Dunya manages to mutter. She’s so cute when she’s embarrassed. She doesn’t have to be embarrassed about anything, we are close, just not the way she thought.

“Daniel” I manage to speak finally and reach my hand to shake hers. She smiles “Dunya” and reaches her hand to shake mine. I felt a huge spark from our touch, and she pulls her hand back. She felt it too! How could she not, you could almost see the electricity! Me and Layla look at each other. “See!” I mind link her. “I know!” she replies.

“Let’s try that again.” She says and grabs my hand again, making me feel the sparks between our hands again. I get goosebumps all over my skin and a shiver down my spine.

I told you she was our mate!! Axel yells in my mind, I could feel him jump up and down with excitement. I never doubted that, I think to myself.

We sit down to chat; well Layla does most of the talking since I can’t help myself; I’m staring like a lunatic. It’s hard, when she’s the hottest girl I’ve ever laid eyes on. She’s nothing compared to the many girls I’ve dated. She’s wearing her sunglasses and I can´t see her beautiful brown orb, so I settle to examine the rest of her face. She has thick natural eyebrows, a nose piercing, plump beautiful bow shaped lips that she keeps biting from time to time. Her gorgeous dark brown hair falls down to her shoulders almost covering her breasts. She has a rose tattoo on her shoulder, which is very elegant and suits her perfectly.

I want to be alone with her, get to know her and Layla keeps babbling. I try to kick her under the table, so she could get the hint to leave. She seemed to notice and says she has to leave. Finally.

After Layla finally leaves, I manage to open my mouth and talk to her. She is obviously shy around me. I want to know everything about her, her angelic voice is music to my ears.

“Woops” she whispers to herself and grabs some tissues. My d**k twitches instantly, when I see the melt ice cream slide down her chest. Axel is howling in my mind and all I can think about is licking it off of her, inch by inch, taking my time with it. Licking, sucking and squeezing those amazing round bouncy things.

“Are you okay?” she asks with a furrowed brow snapping me out of my day dream.

“Yeah” I manage to mumble as I notice I’m squeezing the table between us, and let go of it. Deep breaths. Deep, deep breaths. I need to calm down.

“How about a walk?” I manage to ask, trying to hide me arousal. “I can carry your bag” I say and grab it before she even has a chance to answer, holding it close, so it would hide my manhood.

We walk by the beach, talking and joking around. She’s funny, smart, nice and so easy to be around. She has a warm glow around her, making it easy for anybody to fall in love with her immediately. Every minute with her did just that, I’m falling for her. And not just because of the mate bond, but because of the amazing person she is.

When she gets excited telling a story, she turns around to look at me and walks backwards. And when she smiles, her perfect dimples pop out. Her laughter is so sweet and cute. When she gets serious, her eyebrows furrow, making cute little streaks over them. She’s beyond perfect.

She’s walking backwards again telling me about her best friend, next thing I know, she’s about to fall down as she stumbles on her own feet. I reach out quickly grabbing her hand and as soon as our hand touch again, sparks fly startling her and she manages to pull me with her, falling on top of her. I brace myself, so I won´t crush her in the process.

We laid there just looking at each other, feeling spark fly all over our bodies. I hear her breathing faster and I take her sunglasses off, so I could see her eyes. We stare at each other inches away from one another, both of our hearts beating erratically and I lean in for a kiss.

Dunya’s POV

I get goosebumps all over my body, my heart beat increases and it feels like it’s about to pop out of my chest. Danny’s weight and touch on me, is making me crazy. I’ve never felt anything like this before. It’s like we’re drawn to each other. He took my glasses off and looked me in the eyes as he couldn´t live without seeing them. His ocean blue eyes, looked like a stormy sea. There was so much passion, so much longing in them.

We’re inches away from each other and I couldn´t stop breathing in his amazing scent; Sandalwood and fresh cut grass after rain. His arms tighten around me, making me feel even safer. His touch feels like home, like a safe haven.

All I wanted was for him to kiss me, take me, make me his for all of eternity. Just as I’m about to give in for a kiss I hear my phone ringing. It’s the reminder I set up, so I would have enough time to get ready for my date with Elijah.

Omg Elijah! What was I thinking! I quickly push him off of me and stand back up. Well, more like I nudge him and he gets up pulling me up with him. He looks at me confused, without figuring out what to say.

“I have to go...” I mumble under my breath, trying to calm my heart.

“Umm... Why?” He asks obviously insulted.

“I have a date, and I have to get ready” I manage to blurt out. As I see his reaction, I instantly regret telling him about my date.

“Ohh...” he replies sadly. “Don’t tell me you have a date with ‘His highness’?” He asks annoyed. Who? His highness?

“Umm, with the guy you punched” I manage to say irked. “What’s your problem with him? And what was that fight in the club?” I cross my hands and ask him angrily.

“I just know he’s not right for you” He replies. “You shouldn’t go out with him.”

“I can go out with whomever I want.” I manage to blurt out. How dares he? He’s the one that started the fight and tells me I can´t go out with who I want. “I can take care of myself, thank you very much.” I reply annoyed and start to walk away. The way he said it, sounded like he did it for me. That makes zero sense, why would a total stranger punch a guy I just met, so I wouldn´t date him?

He follows me, with my bag still in his hand and tries to stop me, by grabbing my hand.

“Wait, let me explain.” he stands in front of me with furrowed brows. The sparks between our hands makes me haze for a bit and I calm down.

“Well?” I ask impatiently.

“Umm...” He says and scratches the back of his head, thinking what to say next. “He’s dangerous”

“What do you mean dangerous? What has he done, for you to punch him out of nowhere? If you ask me, I think that´s more dangerous if you punch a guy out of nowhere” I ask still annoyed. “Maybe you should dial down on the drinking”

“I wasn’t drunk...” He replies questionably. I roll my eyes, take my bag from him and try to walk away.

“At least let me give you a ride home.” He asks running to my side.

“No thank you. I can go by buss.” I reply and keep walking faster.

“Please, I will feel much better if you let me take you home” he says grabbing my hand again and making the sparks fly.

“Well, I’m not here to make you feel better!” I say pulling my hand away. This situation escalated really quickly, I think to myself and shake my head. I turn back to see he’s not following, instead he’s looking confused. What is it with me and guys like him? The minute they show any interest in me, I swoon like those girls in rom-coms. Life isn´t a rom-com, especially for me. Never has been, never will.

And to think I actually thought he was a really nice guy! Why couldn’t he just say the truth about was fight last night. Better yet, we couldn´t he just stay away from me from the beginning.
