Demon King's Mate novel Chapter 5

"Fuck, fuck, okay enough," He ordered and moved me away by pulling at my hair.

He wiped my chin, his fingers holding my cheek as he pressed a kiss to my lips. I breathed into his lips as he softly licked my mouth.

"Are you ready?" He panted against my lips.

"Yes, I think so..." I replied.

It is a crazy night. I don't even know how I fall into sleep.

The next day, as the harsh sunlight hit my face I scrunched my nose and tried to hide my face inside the covers. Shifting around in the bed I let out a yawn.

Rubbing my eyes I tried to sit up only to feel the heaviness in my head. When I glanced at the other side of the bed it was empty. A frown settled on my featured as I tried to think of the plausible explanation of his sudden disappearance.

"He might be in the bathroom" I wondered to myself navigating my way out of the bedroom. I knocked on the brown door few times, leaning against the wall but I did not hear any sound from inside the bathroom.

"Lukas?" I quietly called, my voice caught up. Why did he leave so suddenly? I thought we really clicked the previous night and he was so generous and kind.

He left, even without a note.

When I woke up the heaviness in my head felt at ease. That was no way that I could take another leave from my work so I made a quick breakfast and ate a few almonds to get rid of the hangover. Apparently does wonders as Mira said the last time we were at her house nursing our hangovers. As always I regretted drinking and promised myself to never do that again.

As I was about to head towards the kitchen I heard the sound of a bell going off. Maybe it was Lukas I thought, slamming the blades down the kitchen counter hastily and rushing towards the door. Adjusting my robe I patted my cheeks a few times and peeked through the tiny peephole of the door. My face fell when I noticed that it was my best friend. Jaxon.

"Hey" I greeted him trying to seem cheerful. It was not his fault so I should not be angry with him.

"Hello" He chirped leaning forward to hug. I stilled when his fingers touched my neck and he slid back.

"Someone had a rough night" He wriggled his eyebrows, a sly smirk at the corner of his lips. My lips pursed at that and I walked inside.

"Let's not talk about it" I murmured sitting down on the couch nearby. He slid in beside me and stared at me for a few seconds. It should feel weird but I was kind of used to it. Jaxon always thought that I was hiding things from him and will he was right but only because I did not want him to take everything seriously. He was overprotective and possessive so it scared me to confess to him. The last time I did that he beat up that guy.

His eyes drifted towards my hand clasped together and he softly asked, "Is everything alright?"

"Yes, why wouldn't it be? In fact, I was just getting ready for my work"

He hummed, "I called in the morning. Four times. You were not in university then I remembered that you were last night with Mira. She told me you must be hungover from all that drinking and dancing."

I nodded my head but stopped when I recalled his words. Dancing? What? Me and dancing? There was no way it happened. Mira saw that happen so I should call her later and ask about it.

"Dancing? Me?"

Jaxon chuckled, "Trust me I was shocked too"

"Gee thanks"

"Can you blame me? I can't lie for these many years okay?" He grinned

Rolling my eyes I slapped at his arm to which he didn't even move. "You're a terrible liar"

"I know"

Jaxon did not have his bag with him which meant that he was not going to work. Or that he left it in the car. There was no way to actually tell.

"Are you going to work?"

Jaxon sighed, "No I have a luncheon with some clients"

"Hello? Is that all you are going to say, young lady?" She raised her voice

"Mira, what do you want?"

"To talk to you about that handsome stranger you went home with. What was his name? Luke-Luka?"

"Lukas" I sighed, my other hand clenched in a fist as I remembered the morning incident.

She made loud whistles, "Ahh, of course, you remember his name. He was just that good!"

"Mira I'm about to enter the library. Can we not talk about this now?"

"No, because you promised me that you were going to bring him to my mom's dinner party" She whined.

"I cannot bring him, Mira"

"Why? I already told my mother that you were bringing someone"

I slapped my forehead, "Why did you do that? Just why?"

"Because you promised!"

"I can't bring him, Mira! Try to understand" I whispered under my breath trying to remain discreet. People were starting to notice because of the way I was roaming around the library gate.

"Why? Just give me one valid reason and I'll shut up about it" She breathed and I gritted my teeth together, finally leaning against the wall.

"I can't fucking bring him to your dinner party because he took my virginity and left me the next morning"
