I sat with her in the bedroom of their hotel suite and observed her after she had showered and changed. “I apologise, Brianna, I believe.. I am not entirely certain, but I believe I informed Mr. Scrumptious of your location.
Expressed a slight frown, indicating uncertainty.”
“I had consumed several alcoholic beverages, and the evening was quite peculiar,” she remarked while sitting on the bed beside her.
What transpired with him? You indicated that you were experiencing difficulties with him. How did he locate you in Denver?”
Observed the woman exhale audibly and gesture with her head in disapproval. “Ryder Wood dispatched him to that location.” Ryder successfully extracted my information from Maria, who disclosed my location and work mobile number to him. I have deactivated it.
“Typical.” This elicited no surprise, particularly if Ryder and his unit believed that Stella’s defiance against Nolan suggested the potential that she was Nolan’s Mate.
How did the wedding transpire?She enquired, aware that returning home was consistently an unpleasant experience for Stella.
“Valeria is genuinely elated, which is commendable; the wedding was delightful. Miguel was present, naturally, and you won’t believe what happened.””
Brianna exhaled audibly. She was aware that “Your father and Miguel once again pressured you regarding marrying him.” This occurred almost every time she returned home. Impoverished woman. Despite Miguel’s infidelity, as Stella referred to him, she remarked, “You’ve been cornered again, haven’t you?””
Affirmative! My father attempted to convey that Miguel had transformed, and they have even taken the step of draughting a prenuptial agreement this time. As if I would consent.
“Fools.” Brianna shook her head, aware that Stella would never return to that man.
“It deteriorates, Brianna.” Mr. Scrumptious and his companion arrived impeccably attired.
“Which individual?” The individual from the initial visit?She required additional clarification.
“No, the other individual who was conducting rotating walk-bys of the store with Mr. Scrumptious.”
“I believe that individual is referred to as Enzo.” He is, in fact, the younger brother of Mr. Scrumptious.
I found myself in a dilemma, Brianna. “Miguel and my father, Mr. Scrumptious, successfully extricated me from their presence,” she sighed once more.
Upon introducing himself to my father as an employee of Ryder Wood,” she exclaimed in irritation, “I distinctly perceived dollar signs in my father’s eyes. Mr. Scrumptious’s assertion that I was his girlfriend was unhelpful.
“What did he do?””
“Indeed, he kissed me publicly.” Attempted to instigate a confrontation with Miguel as well. I had to intervene and, well… “That man embodies all the warnings you provided.” The woman briefly closed her eyes and sighed once more. “I foolishly engaged in his manipulation, Brianna, when Miguel declared my impending marriage to him directly in front of Mr. Scrumptious, and I simply reached my breaking point.”
Brianna could easily envision Carlos’s response, which would likely be unfavourable, particularly if he believed that Stella was his Mate. The full moon had not yet arrived, but her obstinate defiance against him and his Gamma Charm would likely be self-evident.
“I resolved to assume the role of his girlfriend, and he became exceedingly attentive. Subsequently, he began kissing me again, leading to a heightened intimacy… and Brianna observed as Stella shook her head. Before I realised it, I found myself consenting to accompany him to a room; I am uncertain of the events that transpired, as I had consumed an excessive amount of champagne—approximately five or six glasses by that point.”
“Did he genuinely seduce you, in a s****l manner?””
“Oh, that was… rather it became somewhat…” He exhibits considerable dominance, Brianna. Delighted to engage physically and be unclothed with me, yet…
“However?”Brianna enquired, seeking precise details. She was contemplating whether she was Carlos’s human mate and was increasingly inclined to believe she was. Such dominance is unequivocally characteristic of wolves.
“He would not engage in s****l intercourse with me; it is a peculiar fetish.” He was aware of my desire, yet he halted and refused to proceed until I declared my allegiance to him.
“Stella, please inform me that you did not consent to be his.”“That was unfavorable.”
Observed the expression on her visage. “It has been an extensive duration, Brianna, since anyone has caressed me in such a manner; it felt so… ravenous, as if he were in dire need of me, almost desperate for my presence.” She shook her head once more and sighed, “which is utterly foolish; evidently, the man is frequently engaged, as he exhibited considerable proficiency.”
“Stella, did you convey to him what he desired to hear?”“
“Yes,” she murmured, “I had to, to obtain, well you know, intercourse.”
“Which specific words, Stella?”“She inquired.”
Stella observed her with a blend of concern and intrigue. “I belong to you,” she declared. “I hesitated for a moment, yet it persisted for hours. I realised afterward that I had erred, as if I had entangled myself with an unsuitable man. I am uncertain, Brianna, but it felt as though I was powerless to resist.”
