Book Two: A Beta's Undying Love
240 Words
This book will follow the journey of Garrett and Lily.
“Lily. Look at me,” his deep, commanding voice said, compelling me to obey.
Reluctantly, I lifted my gaze from the floor and met his intense, ocean-blue ones. As soon as our eyes locked, I felt like I was drowning, realizing I had made a mistake by looking into them.
“Please. I need to get back to work,” I whispered, though I remained rooted to my spot.
I was captivated by his powerful presence, unable to move even if I wanted to. Everything about him was intoxicating—his looks, his piercing eyes, and his strong, refreshing scent.
Each breath I took seemed to make my heart skip a beat. I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to be touched by him in more intimate ways. My thoughts turned darker, imagining more than just his hand on my cheek.
You need to stop yourself!
No, don’t stop! Kiss him. He’s so close!
Stop yourself!
No, don’t!
Yes, stop!
My heart and head waged a fierce battle. My head told me to leave, but my heart wanted something entirely different. I knew the rational choice was to listen to my head.
So I tried to quiet my heart and prepared to rise, but before I could even move, two strong hands cupped my face, pulling me toward warm lips that hungrily yet gently claimed mine.
