AMERY

.

"You look so damn beautiful Amery. Even good enough to eat baby girl." Levi whispered to me as we waltzed around the open space. The crowd present watched us with keen attention while I tried to avoid Levi's gaze with everything in me. I was scared that I would loose myself If I stared too deeply into those pair of dark orbs.

"You're not going to say anything?" He asked when I didn't utter a single word to his unsolicited compliment.

"I don't have anything to say." I snapped. "Don't try to act as if you care for me Levi. Deep down, we both know that you have no affection whatsoever for me."

"And who told you that?" He questioned, his back straightening up like a brand new pencil that had just been released from its case. "I care about you Amery and I care about you a lot. I would never try to say something and mean another"

I scoffed at his attempt of being clueless. "Yeah right." I blew a strand of hair off my face as I tried to remained focused on the dance.

"Believe me Amery. You look amazing. I almost didn't recognize you in that dress. You look stunning and that dress was made especially for you." He repeated for the second time and even though I hated to admit it, I felt my insides heating up at his words. Levi was surprisingly being a gentleman and I didn't know how well to react to this side of him.

The dance continued with Levi making subtle touches. His hands trailed down my back and rested at the bump just above my b**t.

He twirled me around and I landed on his chest in a way that had my entire body screaming in delight. I must be a psychopath to actually have any emotions at all for this man. He had not only attempted to kill me more than once but he also did it intentionally so why then was he acting so kind and well behaved. This was not the Levi that I was used to.

The dance interferes with my emotions and my hormones are all over the place. The proximity of our bodies and the light sensual touches made it difficult for me to think properly.

"The dress..." I trailed off "The dress was a gift to me from Asher." I blurted out in a bid to make him upset. I wasn't buying the whole good boy act but he only smiles.

"Why do I have to get upset when you're also wearing my gift?" He demanded and I found myself frowning at him in confusion.

"What do you mean by that?"

His eyes left my face and rested on the necklace on my next. "You're wearing my gift Amery so i also have a part of me with you."

I tried to break free but he only tightened his hands around my waist. "Don't tell me..."

He nodded once. "I was the one who dropped off the necklace in your bedroom earlier today. I wanted to get you a gift to apologize and I chose that piece because it reminded me of you. I'm so glad that you wore it for me."

"I didn't wear it for you" I argued. My lips pursing in anger.

"It's sitting prettily on your neck Amery. That's enough proof to seal the fact that you wore it for me." He grinned broadly. "There were many options that you could've chosen from but you settled for this one didn't you?"

"I have nothing else to say to you Levi." I snapped in my defense. "You had insulted me and pushed me away. You had tried to kill me multiple times and you simply think that you can change all of that with a necklace and a single apology? Do I look that naive and stupid to you?"

He sighed deeply. "Amery...."

"I'm not naive Levi and I demand to know why you have decided to dance with me especially after your last animalistic behavior."

"I know that I've been nothing but a jerk Amery and I know that you probably won't believe whatever I say to you but ever since last night, I had taken time to reflect on behavior and what happened between us." He started with a solemn look on his face. "I realized that I have been cruel to you and that I haven't treated you right and that's why I'm asking for your forgiveness. Please, forgive me Amery."

"I know that I don't have any excuse for treating you the way I did but you can't blame me. I don't know what it means to show affection and I don't know how well to do so either. This is the first time that I have been treated differently and I don't want to loose what we have." He holds my hands in his and focuses on me.

"I want us to be friends Amery and I promise to set everything right between us. Will you give me another chance?"

"And how do I know that this isn't another one of your plans? You're very unpredictable Levi and the thought of giving you a chance doesn't sit well with me. I'm scared that this might just be another trap you're luring me into again. I have been fooled by you once and...."

"Let me change that perspective of me." He cut me short. "I want us to be friends Amery. I don't want you to keep on ignoring or running away from me. I want us to fix things and start afresh on a clean slate." He offered.

"But why?" I was forced to ask "We barely know each other Levi and I don't think we have to be friends. If you're feeling guilty because of what had happened between us that night then, there's no need to. I forgive you and I hope that you move on and forget about it like I have."

"Are you sure?" He questioned. "Are you sure that you can move past what had happened between us? Are you sure that you're not running away from me because you're affected or something like that?"

"Affected?" I scoffed "Why should I be? It was an accident and no, I'm not affected by it."

Grabbing my waist, he pulled me up and leaned closer to me so that his lips hovered above mine slightly.

"What about now?" He asked in a husky voice while I squirmed deeper into his touch, hoping that the ground would be big enough to swallow me. I tried to get break free but he only came close, making my mission futile. "I'd appreciate it if you moved back a little."

"Like this?" He teased and pushed his face closer to mine. My breath hitched and I found myself getting warm already. Why am I burning up? It's literally thirty two degrees outside so why am I hot?

"L-Levi..." I called out in a small voice, my body betraying me as I forced my eyes shut.

"Don't be scared Amery. I'm here" he whispered to my face and I opened my eyes slowly to meet his peering gaze.

"You're affected by this Amery and that's why you're running away from me. Are you still ashamed because of what happened between us that night?

My eyes flickered open. "I am not ashamed. And besides, you were the one who touched me and not the other way around"

"Do you want me to do it again?" He rested his head on my shoulder and I shuddered at the contact between us. With Levi, it only keeps on getting hotter.

"Do what again?"

He looked at me, his eyes seemed to say, challenge accepted. And with that, he grazed his lips on mine. My knees buckled and I felt the pull between my legs. "You feel it too Amery, I know that you do."

My breathing became erratic. I had to get out of here and as fast as I could. "Can I go now?" I asked and he grinned from ear to ear.

"You're still uncomfortable around me Amery so no, you can't go even if you wanted to. We'll spend the night together until you get used to me somehow."

"Isn't this kidnapping of some sort? Should I be afraid?"Read more at Narugi.com.

"Yes you should because I am not letting you out of my sight until the dance is over."

True to his words, Levi waltzed with me, complimenting my looks at the slightest opportunity. I didn't want to feel happy about the situation but I couldn't help it. Part of me loved being around him. Part of me wanted him closer to me. Part of me didn't want to let go of this moment and I knew that it was my wolf speaking. We had a strong connection that I couldn't bring myself to understand.

I feel the s****l tension build up between us. From the corner of my eyes, I saw the boys watching us and that's when I decided to pull away.
