Denied by Destiny Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 456

“You knew what?”

“That you had hooked up with someone…was it him…”

“Who?” I panic.

“…the barman?” She pauses, her brows furrowing.

Did she not see him? Did she not notice Jace…how could she not.

He was easily the hottest guy at the pool and his entrance hadn’t been discreet.

He has an alpha energy that was hard to miss, but then she was drinking back the shots long after I had decided to slow down.

No matter how pissed off I am at Jace, I had made him a promise not to reveal his location.

“A lady never kisses and tells.” I play coy, which wasn’t difficult for me.

“Damn girl, I hope he got more than a kiss out of you. So did you get it stamped?”

“Get what stamped?” I move further into the hotel room, careful to maintain a distance in case Jace’s scent remains upon me.

“Your V card…”

“Maya.” I moan out as I move to the bathroom, turning the shower on and letting the water heat up.

“You did, didn’t you?” Her hands grip onto my shoulders as she turns me, suspenseful eyes shining back at me as she is dying for an answer.

“I did…” I smile out, trying to downplay my news.

“Yes!” She claps out before punching her fists into the air.

“So we are applauded sex now?” I chuckle at her as I check the water temperature with my fingers.

“No, we are applauding you becoming a woman. So how was he?”

“Maya, I’m going to have a shower, then we are leaving as soon as possible…”

“I get it…don’t want to run into him at the breakfast buffet. He’s already scrambled your eggs.”

“Maya.” I playfully bat the side of her arm.

“Ten minutes and we will be checking out, I promise.”

…..

Two months have passed since my weekend away with Maya and I’ve received no word from Jace…nothing.
