Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates - Chapter 542

Chapter 542: 542-My Dirty Desires And My Wife
Norman:

“I’ll go shower. I didn’t even clean up when I got home. You chose to go and sleep in the guest room,” I mumbled, annoyed that she didn’t want to spend time with me but would rather have me sit with Jessica.

‘And before you say anything, I’m not jealous that she didn’t want to. I just wanted to comfort her since I heard she’d been pretty devastated after my arrest.’

I told my wolf to shut up before he started rambling again.

‘I didn’t even say anything,’ he chuckled, and I grunted.

“By the way—I didn’t think you’d cry for me,” I said, turning to watch her grimace at me.

“I didn’t. I was just pretending to make others think ‘oh, she’s crying for her mate,'” she was such a terrible liar.

“In fact, I was like ‘maybe this arrest will make him decent,'” she added with an eye roll, somehow really starting to get under my skin.

“So you didn’t care? Then why did you—hug me?” I asked, my eyes narrowing at her. If only she were smarter, she’d notice the look on my face.

“To make—Emmet jealous,” she said, and the way my heart dropped, I felt like a criminal.

“Oh,” I nodded.

“So you broke all the stuff and everything just so you could make him jealous?” I asked, my tone serious.

“Yeah,” she shrugged.

I just kept staring at her, feeling that weird fire rise inside me.

“Hmm, well, I was missing Jessica a lot too. Her touch—her kiss,” I sighed as I placed my hand on my chest.

“Good, as you should,” the force she put behind her words made me nod in understanding.

I didn’t know what was going on with me. I wasn’t jealous. Just disappointed. But why? I didn’t know.

‘You don’t want to admit it,’ my wolf spoke up.

“Anyway, I’ll shower and change—and then we can discuss if we should reject each other before or after your battle with Dariius, since the full moon is on the same day,” I reminded her that we were going to reject each other—just in case she thought I was catching feelings or something.

‘I don’t think she even thinks you’re catching feelings.’ Of course, my wolf wasn’t on my side. ‘But are you?’

I ignored him again and watched Helanie’s face for a reaction.

“Oh, I want to say after, but that would mean I’m being too cocky about winning,” she sighed as she dropped down into the chair.

I noticed her neck—I don’t know why—but she had such a perfect neck. I remembered how good she smelled when I marked her.

‘Be careful, our sleeping soldier might wake up,’ my wolf warned, and I instantly looked down to check on my pants before grunting at him.

‘I’m not a pervert. And she’s not even that attractive,’ I hissed at him.

‘Is she not?’ he asked, and my eyes sneakily lingered on her face again.

She had such a beautiful and perfectly sculpted face with gorgeous eyes that I couldn’t lie again.

But I was annoyed. She had hurt me so much.

‘A she-wolf is able to hurt the stone-cold Norman? That is news,’ my wolf kept going but I had a plan in mind.

Norman never loses.

I would not let her get away with her lies or phony ‘I didn’t care’ attitude.

‘Way to win a woman’s heart,’ my wolf commented but I didn’t argue with him. I wasn’t winning her heart.

I was just trying to get the truth out of her.

I suddenly held my phone to my ear and started pretending to talk to someone,

“Oh? They are coming to arrest me again?”

As soon as I said that, Helanie’s attention was driven back to me. The way her eyes jumped out of her sockets was such a pleasure to watch.

She got up from her seat and kept watching my face.

Suddenly, a wave of comfort struck me again.

“Hmm, it is okay. Just stop fighting, I will accept the punishment. It is only ten years,” I said and instantly ran toward the bathroom with a shirt wrapped around my arm.

I heard her come after me but I had locked myself in as if I didn’t see her.

I opened the shower so that she knows I am not even going to share it with her since she doesn’t care that I got arrested.

‘You are so evil,’ my wolf scoffed.

I put my phone down and then smiled when I heard her knock on the door.

She must have a cute pout on her lips, her soft gentle hands knocking.

I reached the sink and took off my shirt, my eyes drifting to my waist where she had wrapped her legs around my body.

‘Are you going to tattoo her legs too?’ that was it. My wolf was losing his mind.

He was going way too hard on me now.

‘Do you ever shut up?’ I was confused how he was so talkative and active now.

‘What were you doing unbuttoning your shirt?’ I knew that question would arrive soon.

I closed my eyes and sighed until I heard a little knock on the bathroom door.

A smile crept over my lips knowing who it was.

‘And she said she doesn’t care,’

I might be an evil person to be so happy after causing stress to someone. But I was honestly so happy.

I couldn’t understand why getting her attention suddenly meant so much to me.

‘Suddenly? You have been tattooing her touch on your body, crocheting her sweater, being all jealous—’

He shut up finally when I grunted at him.

After a few seconds of silence, I grimaced.

‘I don’t know what is going on with me. She makes me want to lose myself. I—know it is so wrong and forbidden for so many reasons—’

Finally, I was able to utter those words to at least my wolf,

‘I am embarrassed and everyone will hate me. But you are right. I want her attention. I want her—to let me touch her.’

That was it, I had said it.

After avoiding it, avoiding talking about it with my own self, I had finally said the truth.
