Book 2- Chapter 4
‘Holycow! Did he really need to kiss me to act that we are actually together?’ She screamed in her mind, looking at the drop-dead gorgeous man with gray eyes. Not just that, his touch was sending a spark all over her body.
She tasted his mouth, and that was when she realized that he had drunk the same Mojito that she had been drinking a few minutes before.
Now everyone looked at Gaby angrily and thought of her as the third person except for the bartender, who knew the actual story, but he just smiled, looking at the young couple.
.
A minute later, Artemis broke the kiss and looked at his mate in his arm and then at Gaby, who looked like she would kill his mate at any moment. He was glad that she was a human, or she would have lunged on his mate for sure until now.
And the second best thing about this nightclub was that it belonged to a werewolf, so he made sure to build this place with the help of magic so that no werewolves or any creature couldn’t use his or her hearing powers to listen to someone else conversation or anyone’s whisper.
“Can you dance?” He whispered in Caroline’s ear when he kissed her right ear. Caroline’s knees went weak when he did so. She couldn’t help but wonder.
‘Where does he do for a living? Acting?’
“Hmm”
Hearing it, Artemis wasted no time and brought her to the dance floor. Caroline felt someone throwing tons of daggers at her head with her eyes, and to piss her a little more, she rested her head on Artemis’s chest, wrapping her hand around his frame, moving her body to the beat of the music.
After a while, she lifted her head and looked up at Artemis, who was looking at her. “I hope you’re not married.” She spoke the very first thing that came to her mind.
Artemis smiled at her question. ‘So, she is that kind of woman who doesn’t throw herself at the taken man. Not bad.’
“No. I’m very much, SINGLE.” He replied, caressing the side of the cheek. He liked the way she was responding to his touch, which also told him that she wasn’t aware of the fact why she was feeling this spark on Artemis’s touch.
While Caroline made a mental touch to ask about it with Colton.
“Then why is that girl throwing yourself at you shamelessly?” She questioned, feeling jealous. ‘Woah!! What is wrong with me? I’m feeling jealous of a guy whom I barely know.
“Ahh” Artemis smirked at that question and also sensed Caroline’s jealously. “Actually, I’m about to be thirty so, my parents along with my friends keep playing cupid so that I can finally settle down but don’t you think that it should be my decision with whom I should settle down and with whom I don’t?” he explained, getting irritated.
“Don’t be mad at your parents or friends. They just want your happiness. They just don’t want you to be left alone.” Caroline said before revealing, “One of my brothers is neither interested in girls nor in romance. That’s why we keep doing the same with him at some interval of time, you know.”
“But I’m sure you guys wouldn’t tag any girl with him on a vacation of fifteen days.”
“Of course not; he will stop talking to us in that case,” Caroline replied in horror, thinking of that circumstance. Colton didn’t want to spend half an hour with any girl on a date; tagging a girl with him for fifteen days meant waiting for Volcano to blast.
“My mom did that but shared my schedule and everything with her so that wherever I will go, she is tag along,” Artemis muttered. To be honest, he was thinking of leaving Madrid then and there, and thankfully, he didn’t.
Caroline didn’t comment anything on that part. “This is my story; what’s yours?” Artemis asked. “What’s your name?”
“Sarah” Caroline told her middle name to him because she was very well aware of the nature of rich people. They always checked the background, and she didn’t want to relieve her identity. Also, she knew that he was a werewolf, so he could sense her lie.
“Sarah…?” Artemis asked to know her last name so that he could do a background check on her because the reason he couldn’t smell her scent was making her mysterious. “Your last name?” he asked again when Caroline didn’t reply.
“I don’t want to share that with the person whom I barely know,” Caroline said truthfully. Artemis nodded his understanding manner.
‘At least she didn’t lie about her name, right?’ Bolt said, completely understanding the lack of trust that she had for him.
“I understand. By the way, how do you know my name?”
“Well, you can thank that woman for that,” Caroline replied. “And about that rich and famous thing. I didn’t know about that. I just threw that line seeing your Rolex watch that cost a fortune.” she added.
“Oh!” Artemis muttered and felt bad that she didn’t know anything about him because he was indeed famous and rich, but he couldn’t even say that Caroline was lying because he could smelt nothing but the truth. “I’m sorry for that kiss. I kissed you to make everyone believe that we are indeed together and also because I wanted to get rid of Gaby.
“So, you are sorry because you kissed me?” Caroline questioned.
“No. That would be a complete lie if I would say that I kissed you because I wanted to, but I’m sorry for not taking your permission to do so.” Artemis said and observed how Caroline’s cheek turned a shade darker.
