340–The Messy Kisser

Nora:

“You’re ready to-” he began, his eyes fixed on my lips. I didn’t understand why he was so desperate

for a kiss now that he had a mate, but I would do it for the sake of my children.

“As long as you promise to give me my son tonight,” I said, rising from the bed with my arms folded

over my chest. What was so special about a kiss with a particular someone? It’s a kiss, just kiss

anyone and imagine that person.

“I will not step back from my promise,” he reassured me. I could tell he was excited to start the

kissing session. To me, it seemed rather immature. Why would a married man with a marked mate

want to kiss someone he had cast aside and didn’t even reject after accepting her before the

council?

He stepped closer and wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me against his chest. I didn’t

move, letting him take the lead. I thought it would be easy, and I’d be over it in a few minutes. But

the moment our bodies connected, I felt a weird sense of betrayal. Everything rushed back

to me.

However, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. He didn’t complain about why I wasn’t the one

initiating the kiss. It was as if he just wanted to kiss me, no matter who did what. That’s when his lips

crashed against mine. He hungrily sucked my bottom lip, his hands roaming all over my body and

grabbing it.

His taste flashed the memories of my time with him. Emotions began to take over, hate and betrayal

eling the gush of emotions after his

“Ahmmmm!” he moaned as he deepened the kiss. I wasn’t participating, so he was doing it all

himself. But the moment his tongue tried to penetrate my mouth, a hard slam against the door jolted

us apart. I quickly wiped my lips while he was too shocked to respond.

“What is going on here?” It was Clara, in tears. I didn’t understand why. It’s not like he was caught

cheating on her. He had left her after dating her for only a month, and I wasn’t even sure if it was a

physical relationship.

I rolled my eyes and attempted to rub the back of my hands over my lips again and again.

“Nothing. What are you here for?” Brody scratched his neck before straightening his posture and

addressing her angrily. His desperation was all too visible now.

“No! It was not nothing. I saw your tongue almost in her mouth,” she stepped inside, sniffling and on

the verge of breaking down.

I was least bothered. I didn’t feel ashamed nor guilty. And worry was something that I wasn’t aware

of anymore.

Brody turned awkwardly to me and then back to Clara. “Clara! Whatever it was, it has nothing to do

with you. So why are you making such a huge deal out of it?” Of course, he was annoyed. She had

ruined his chance of kissing me.

“You got married to Janet only to cheat on her with Nora? Don’t you hate her for getting pregnant by

someone else? Didn’t she betray you in the worst way possible?” she complained, raising her voice

until Brody’s grunt grew louder.

“Enough! She didn’t cheat on me,” he stated loudly, and even I was

intrigued to hear what he was going to say to his annoying ex.

“Then? How did she get pregnant? Are you going to keep seeing her behind Janet’s back?” The

hesitation in her body as she paced back and forth and kept rubbing her palms was quite visible.

“That is none of your business. I will handle my matters, and as for you, you are just a beta with the

weakest beta wolf. Who the hell told you that you could question me?” Now that it was about his

own character, he was openly challenging her.

Her eyes widened at the words said about her. See, this is why I believe I didn’t go through the

worst for nothing. Simple arguments and taunts like these didn’t make me cry; they made me react

strongly and stand up for myself.

But poor Clara was already in tears.

“Now get the heck out of here, and if I hear you speak to anyone about this-” he warned her,

stepping closer and staring into her eyes.

“Get out now,” he pointed to the door after stepping back to create distance between them.

She covered her mouth with her hands before looking at me, a big tear rolling down her cheek. I

was slightly concerned that she might go tell Janet about the kiss. I just didn’t want them to take

their anger out on my children.

But at least I will get to see my baby tonight.
