Chapter 367. Mate Won’t Hurt Us!

Nicholas’s POV

I still feel her lips against mine and soft skin beneath my fingers. Apphia’s lips are so smooth, and soft. I wanted more and more. I was selfish, and now I’m scared that she thinks I only want her body and nothing more. When she pulled away from me and asked me not to go closer to her, I felt oxygen leave my body.

I left the room even though I didn’t want to.

Reaching my suite, I go straight to the bar and pour myself a drink. I need a strong drink. I sit by the balcony couch, sipping my whiskey.

I feel someone’s presence behind me, and my hands are over my shoulder. I grab them and remove them from my body before turning. Brooklyn.

“I’m back, baby,” she smiles at me.

“What are you doing here?” I growl, making her flinch.

“Why are you glaring at me? Are you not happy to see me?” she asks. I’m not happy to see her. Brooklyn and I dated briefly, but it didn’t last long. I broke up with her, but she never moved on from me
