No sooner had Valen turned around than she grasped for air as soon as her eyes rested on his face. She did not know she was standing behind him, in such a way that the side of her hip almost touched his arm. She had completely forgotten she was standing so close to someone, and that someone was him— the leader of the bully gang.
"Give her a good lesson, buddy! She needs something solid!" Yeoman's encouraging tone reached only them.
It rather seemed a double-meaning sentence that focused on something worse than the good lesson he described!
Valen moved a bit away, maintaining some distance. All of a sudden, her courage faded away just by looking at his face. He had some powers that had the audacity to control her. Maybe it was his personality that was playing with her mind. She turned her eyes to Yeoman at Riley's back, giving him hard gazes.
She had to agree, he looked hot! His dressing sense was better than any other guy in their gang. "I heard you say something, can you-" he took a pause and utilized this time to give her body a thorough glance from heels to her hair. "Please just repeat your words again, Valen?" He emphasized her name, sending quite hard cold chills rushing down her blood vessels.
She was not really scared of him; not at least in front of his dadda or the alpha. But yet, there was something in him that often kept her occupied. "That— was your problem that you didn't hear me once. I don't repeat my words again." She swigged her anxiety, struggling to sound confident while looking right into his eyes, brown eyes that spoke about some secrets, some infatuation, and obviously some excitement that could not be comprehended!
Valen seldom saw his face and more concentrated on his back, at his tempering gang, who had the urge to kill her right there. It could be seen in their eyes. However, that hardly mattered to her, for it was not them who calmed her down but him and his attracting aura.
Ryley tilted his head to the left a bit as he focused on her face prominently. Her lips seemed appealing. Uhh, if he was not wrong, then this was the first time he was seeing her wearing lipstick! And he had to admit it, it did the perfect work of making her a piece of seduction that had started its work on his body beforehand.
