Chapter 33

*VENUS's POV*

Something was very weird. Derek wasn't his usual self for the past days, he was taking my jokes too fondly to the point that he'd respond intimately too. Not that I am complaining, but I can't help but be suspicious.

"You think i'm acting?" He asks, his eyes squinted. Like a hungry man, he pulls me closer that our lips almost touched if I hadn't placed my hand on his firm chest of his. He whispers, "Listen, I'm a simple man. You think I would just be this close to any woman?"

I smirked, "You're no simple man, Alpha. Have you forgotten you're a cold-blooded tyrant that doesn't trust so easily?"

"Are you saying I don't trust you?"

"No," I replied, I pulled away from his hold and stood up. "I'm saying you're cleverly careful. Must be an alpha's instinct, don't you think?"
