Chapter 23

Lake POV

I did not know why I kissed this woman, but at that moment, it was all I wanted to do. Her lips trembled underneath mine. She trembled against my body, wrapping her arms around my neck and leaning into me, not just to deepen the kiss, but for support. Her actions radiated innocence, something I hated more than her pretense.

I kissed her neck and traced my lips up to her collarbone. Once again, she shivered beneath me. It was the way she was able to send my wolf hurling at her feet. River craved to give her pleasure.

I just wanted to rip her fake innocence off her.

"You're supposed to train me..." she muttered. I frowned against her neck.

"Be quiet." I bit back. It annoyed me when she tried to be so...cute.

"Sorry."
