The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate
CHAPTER 54— THE DANCE

Quinn turned to face him, wiping the tears that tainted her flushed cheeks. “How?”

“Dance with me."

She would've said no, but he was challenging her strength; the strength she'd lost and was nowtrying to feign. “Okay.”

His arm around her waist pulled her closer, and Quinn hated how good his warmth felt. Just likeback then, she felt like she belonged in this man’s arms...it was as though fate was guiding her rightback to him.

“You know what to do, Quinn...put your hands on my shoulders.”

Quinn's lips wobbled at those deep, familiar words, and her hands were reluctant as she placedthem against his shoulders.

“And now, all you have to do, angel, is follow your alpha's lead.”

Again, he said words she was deeply acquainted with, re-enacting that night, making her feel thesame way she had. The sparks that ran along her body heightened her senses, bringing her all theway back, and when he started to rock from side to side...she found it hard to breathe.

Why was he doing this to her? Confusing her...making her feel things she didn't want to.

Her mind was blank or maybe it was just full; full of him...

Her heart was pounding aimlessly, helplessly as he stared way past her soul. His eyes heldeverything they shouldn't; love and desperation, desire and great vulnerability. “Quinn...”

Rushing when you hold me...

Whispering that this was once our home..."

“I don't...I'm not...stop.”

Zayd sighed, finally letting her go. “Why are you doing this? You're only torturing yourself more byfighting this? We can work this out, we can be together...did we not promise each other forever?”Just listen to the heartbeat

Rushing when you hold me..."

Quinn remained silent as her eyes watered. She wasn't thinking straight and she knew it. The music,his words...they were all swaying her in the wrong direction...

And it was foolish of her to actually want to be swayed. “We...that was...”

“Whispering that this was once our home

Our home, our home.’

The song came to an end then, and the silence that roamed the room gripped Quinn's palpitatingheart. “It was~"

A shiver wracked down her spine when he gently grabbed her face, forcing her to fixate her eyes onhim. “Your words aren't making any sense. You don't know what to say or perhaps you just don'twant to say it.” He leaned closer to her, resting his forehead against hers. “I know you want to givein, I'm going to help you to give in.”

Before Quinn could process and understand what he meant, his lips were firmly pressed againsthers; soft and warm and moist.

The kiss brought back memories that Quinn wanted to bury...and it had heat climbing from hermouth all the way down to her toes.

She tensed in her spot, eyes clenching shut and only opening when he pulled back. “If you're notgonna push me away, Quinn~"

“Then at least kiss me back.” Quinn finished his words for him, before eagerly planting her lips backagainst his.

She remembered them word for word...he'd said them the first time he kissed her, and Quinn...shecouldn't hold back anymore.

Her hands grabbed onto his jacket, pulling him closer...begging for more warmth...begging formore of him.

Zayd kissed her deeper, pushing her against the door. She wasn't sure if this was the right thing todo...but it sure as hell felt like it.
