Chapter 170 - I Won’t Break The Trust

At Raine's private residence inside the Moon Clan Territory.

Lyne refused to leave Boris's side. She was also the one who put the IV in, as well as being the one to administer the medicine their Boss prescribed. She still could not believe how he suddenly passed out like that. Good thing that Levi accidentally glanced at the monitor of the CCTV in the kitchen or else they might find him only in the morning and who knew what could be his condition by then. She was so worried as she kept on looking at her wristwatch.

"Dammit, Boris! Wake up! How could you be this weak when you promised to bring me Danos' head!? Dammit! Open your eyes!" Lyne complained in frustration. 

She didn't know when she actually started worrying about the man in front of her. Why was she even worried in the first place? Was she that concerned that her only hope in getting her revenge was about to get rolled over by a stupid anaphylactic reaction? She was having a weird feeling that she was unwilling to name or analyze at that point.

'It's because I need him to kill Danos,' that was the thought she kept on reminding herself.

She sighed as she sat at the side of his bed, constantly letting outdone sigh after the other while waiting for him to open his eyes. It had been two and a half hours already. It wouldn't bode well if he still wouldn't wake up after three hours. Gently holding his wrist, she massaged it as reassurance. Levi already took off the bracelet from him, and she wondered if it would be safe to just leave him without a security gadget attached to him like this. After all, she had the same opinion as their Boss in that the bracelet was no longer needed since Boris could clearly be trusted. 

Looking back now, Lyne shook her head as a wry smile appeared on her face. Who would've thought that after everything she had been through, she would end up depending on a werewolf in the end?

Lyne let out another sigh. She was about to let his wrist go when she suddenly felt his hand firmly hold hers.

"Boris?!" Lyne called out in surprise, unconsciously leaning down as she waited for him to open his eyes.

His lips moved, letting out air in the quietest of ways. He was whispering something.

"What is it? Do you feel anything? What's wrong? Are you in pain or something?" she worriedly asked, leaning even closer as she waited for his still-closed eyes to show signs of life.

To her own shock, her eyes widened when she felt Boris's hand on her nape, pulling her closer till there was only an inch-wide gap between them. His eyes opened. With a devious grin, he whispered, "I feel something aching…"

"Huh? Aching?" Lyne questioned with a frown.

"And no medicine could heal it," Boris continued with a low murmur. He was already minutes ago but he intentionally did not open his eyes when he felt Lyne hold his wrist. Somehow, curiosity kicked in him, wondering what would Lyne do or say. But he could no longer prolong his facade with Lyne touching him. Just her simple touch like that was waking up the beast in him… the desire he had been controlling towards her. He wanted to bury his nose in her scent while kissing her senselessly.

Before Lyne could question him further, his lips were already pressed against hers in a hungry clash. Her eyes widened at the unexpected assault. She tried to move away, but Boris held her firmly, even managing to pull her to his bed as he trapped her in his arms. Having the advantage,  he continued to kiss her senselessly, not even letting her mouth have an inch of headway in escaping him.

Lyne was panting hard for breath when he finally released her lips. She couldn't move from his tight grip, so she hissed, "Let me go! What's wrong with you!?"

"But aren't you worried about me? I still feel weak. And I told you… No medicine can heal me. Just your body next to mine like this will do," Boris's smirk could be heard from his tone alone. "Please don't move. Just let me have enough rest like this with you."

"Why are you so weak!? And how dare you promise me Danos's head when you had the tendency to pass out like that!"

Boris smiled as he simply buried his face into Lyne's hair. She might sound annoyed, but to Boris, he felt as if it was Lyne's way of being sweet and thoughtful towards him. He could be wrong, of course. He might come of as simply another stalker or predator to most, yet he still believed in his own interpretations of Lyne's words and actions.

"That's why I'm telling you to stay still and just let me recover my strength by simply devouring your scent like this," Boris insisted. "I'll get better in no time." 

"You're just taking advantage of me!" Lyne rightfully chided. 

Throughout her distress, she felt an uneasy sensation because of some weird feeling inside her body. It was making the alarm bells in her mind ring incessantly, which meant she needed to get out of Boris's arms as soon as possible. Even the unwanted kiss was something dangerous for her. Lyne bit her lower lips. Boris was so warm…

"I'll be leaving now. I'll let you recover on your own," Lyne announced while staring directly at the ceiling. "It's good that you're finally awake. It means that the medicine is working as intended… I still have a lot of things to do, so kindly release me." This was ridiculous…. She was practically like a rigid pole in his arms, completely unmoving against his vise-like grip.

"You know, you're allowed to breathe, Lyne, so just relax your body. It's not like I'll eat you alive, holding you like this," Boris chuckled. "Though I must admit that this is simply too tempting. Seeing as you guys removed my bracelet, I won't break the trust you all put in me. That especially goes with yours. So don't worry, I'll wait till I kill Danos for you. By then, I know that I will make you mine…"

Her eyes widened even further in utter disbelief? Relax her body? How could she after what he just said!? She felt herself clam up even further, which Boris immediately felt.

"Ah… Just breathe in and breathe out. You need to get used to this kind of skin-to-skin contact since I'm planning on doing it a lot more once I claim all of you, Lyne," Boris greedily breathed into her ear. "And I'm not even starting yet…" 

To her horror, she felt his wet tongue licking her ear, saliva coating her sensitive flesh, causing her to turn her head and abruptly face him. 

"What the hell are-!"

Before Lyne could voice out her outrage, his devious mouth quickly attacked her lips once more. He even held her cheeks just so she couldn't move her face away from him. Fighting back, she used her hands to push against him on his chest, but Boris's other hand deftly caught her hands, pinning them upward.

This was bad. He was way too strong, and she was far too weak to fight against him.

'Too weak? Or maybe you're just turning putty?' her inner self slapped.

Slowly melting into hopelessness, she unconsciously answered another breathless kiss, letting her tongue entangle with his, savoring how he tasted. What she did make Boris stop as he stared at her in disbelief.

"W-What?!" Lyne hissed, managing to gather some semblance as soon as she was given a reprieve.

"You kissed me back?" 

It was a question since Boris was unsure if he was right. Did he truly feel Lyne returning his kiss? Or was he just hallucinating? But it felt so great with Lyne responding to him like that unlike how she was always stiff and nervous on their previous kiss. He felt her tongue entangling with his and he honestly did not want to stop. It was really a struggle to stop and control himself. He was afraid that he would end up doing more if he would not stop at that point. The Mate Pull was no joke and the attraction he had towards his mate was really strong.

"So?! You said I should get used to you, right?! So that's what I'm doing!" Lyne cried out. "Damn! Can you just release me already, huh?! And instead of playing around, why not rest and gain your strength back?!" 

Lyne contorted in controlled fury, purposely acting annoyed knowing how deep red she was because of embarrassment. She honestly didn't know whether she kissed him back or not. If yes, then it was purely unintentional. But the fact that she got carried away didn't sit right with her at all.. Something was wrong with her, and she really had mixed emotions about it.
