Falling For My Cruel Mate novel Chapter 11

He notices my strange behavior but doesn't say anything as he approaches me. He looks me straight in the eyes. "If you try to escape again, I will drag you deep into the greenest part of the forest and bury you alive." He adds a wicked smile at the end and a terrified shiver runs down my back. He places his large hand on my cheek and runs his thumb across my bottom lip. "I'm sure the greenest part of the forest couldn't even compare with your eyes." Another shiver makes it way down and I can't help but be scared and yet breathless.

The movement of his thumb across my lip is making me want to squeeze my legs together as a heat begins to burn in between my legs. The mate bond is only growing stronger and I'm sure whatever sexual attraction is here will only get worse.

"Goodnight, little girl." He speaks in a cold tone as he tears his hand away from my face and takes a step back. The absence of his warmth causes yet another shiver through my body. He leaves the room with out another word.

I hate him. I hate the effect that he has on me. I wish I had never left the party that night. I should have never gotten into his truck. I'm so stupid.

I'm so unbelievably stupid.

I gasped awake from my horrid dream. No, it wasn't a dream but a nightmare. The awful flashbacks of the night I was taken by my "mate" swirl through my mind again. I shove the blankets off of my body, feeling hot and claustrophobic. I glance over at the clock that read 3:47am.

I roll my eyes and jump out of bed and head towards the bathroom. I turn the light on and give myself a glance in the mirror. I looked like an absolute mess, my hair was all over the place and my eyes had decently sized bags hanging on to them.

I turn the water on to its coldest setting and wet my face. It made me feel a bit better seeing how I was almost sweating buckets. It was then that I remembered what happened last night. The box. My family had sent over some more of my belongings.

I pull open the closet door and head to the very back where I had seen the previous boxes. Once I found them I kneel down and unfold the flaps. The first thing that caught my eye had me tearing up. I pulled out the stuff giraffe that I've had since I was a little girl and held it close to my chest.
