Nora

Blake is staring at me all expectantly. He is waiting for an answer to a question I'm not willing to answer. I feel nauseous, ready to throw up from being put under pressure. What do I do?

My lips part. The words are right on the tip of my tongue, but I don't want them to come out. I'm afraid of admitting how I feel. Isn't there a way to deny my emotions for a bit longer? Help me, someone, anyone.

Blake tilts his head. "Nora?"

I wet my lips. Heart pounding in my chest. "Well, you see, I-"

A sudden light interrupts the beginning of my speech-magic, but not mine, surrounds me at the speed of light. It all happens so quickly that there is no time to react.

Warm, soothing air blows me in the face, making me close my eyes until the magic around me tears through the atmosphere. I hear a repeat of my own voice asking for help, and then I'm warped into a vortex and teleported somewhere else. I fly through space, and suddenly I'm falling from the top of a ceiling in a completely different location.

"What the actual hell?!" I shout.

Fear slices up my throat.

I'm inside some type of bathroom and land in a bathtub filled with bubbles-right on top of someone! I swallow soap, gurgling until two capable hands drag me up.

My survival instincts kick in, and I grab what I can. It ends up being the person's shoulders, and I blush upon seeing two hard pink n*****s and a pair of beefy pecs.

I can't believe this-I was just teleported into someone's bathroom, and now I'm lying on their chest! In a freaking bathtub!

"Uhh..." I swallow thickly and nervously lift my eyes. "I'm sorry for intruding-"

A pair of emerald eyes meet mine, shocked and rapidly blinking at me, but there is no mistaking that face.

Leo.

He is right in front of me, and I hold my breath as I realize he is entirely naked. Where the heck do I even look?!

My traitorous eyes land on a wayward droplet of water as it skirts down his corded neck, past his broad shoulders, and down to his tempting pecs. Beefy. Round. Right underneath the palm of my hands. s**t.

He looks even more incredible than how I remember him. Pearls of sweat are running down my back already.

The air is hot and humid, and I don't dare to move my hands; I don't trust them! They are itching to touch Leo and caress the perfect body he has been honing for years through hard work and training. "You're Nora... Right?"

Leo's voice, older, deeper, and precisely as it was back in the other timeline, is a rude awakening. I'm hit with need, want, and yearning, and suddenly I'm close to tears.

"Hi, Leo..." I must be fifty shades of red right now. "Fancy meeting you here... Do you come here often?"

Amusement crosses his features. "My magic activated on its own and created a portal..." his eyes roam over my reddening face. "It seems to have brought you here, although I have no clue why..."

I stare up at Leo, and heat erupts over my face. "Oh-my-god, are you seriously hard right now?!"

"What? You can't seriously blame me for that. A woman flies into my bathroom out of nowhere and lands between my legs. And now she is subconsciously squeezing my pecs! I'm bound to get hard!" I realize that Leo isn't lying-I'm groping him!"

Immediately, I flatten my palms against the sculpted plates of his chest. I can't move my hands away since I need the support, and I offer him a phony smile.

"He-he, I'm sorry?"

His eyes narrow. "Mind climbing off me?"

My lips twitch, and I'm about to get off him, but then I think better of it. This is as close as I will probably ever get to Leo, and if we aren't mates, I might never get his opportunity again. s**t.

Don't do it.

Don't do it.

No.

It should be the other way around.

I have to do it!

I know it's wicked and wrong, but the possibility of never being this close to Leo again fuels my veins until I press my lips against his. It's a quick kiss on the lip, yet heat and flames overwhelm me instantly. They eat me alive.

Consume me.

Swallow me wide.

When I lean back, I'm a little bit breathless.

Leo is staring at me, and before he can get mad at me, I get up from the bathtub. Miraculously enough, I do it without slipping or falling. I'm fast on my feet.

"You..." Leo sounds out of breath. "You... Kissed me..."

"Sorry, but it needed to be done!" I shout while finding myself a dry, soft towel. I'm so uncomfortable. My clothes are drenched, and I have left a water trail behind me.

"That doesn't count as a good apology..." Leo climbs up from the bathtub without bothering to cover himself. He yaps at me. "I can't believe you stole my first kiss!"

I don't mean to look down. It's just an accident that I let my eyes travel down the length of Leo.

Oh boy.

I swallow hard at his broad chest, his muscular arms and bulging biceps, the drops of water as they run down his pecs to those deliciously alluring V-lines, right down to his- Oh-my-god.

Was it always that large?

I think I yelp, and Leo pauses.

Our eyes meet, and for some stupid, shitty reason, jealousy and bitterness bubble up in my chest. And I'm about to take it out on Leo.

"As if that was your first kiss! I've seen you with plenty of women on your Insta, Mr. Popular! I bet you've had plenty of partners! Don't even try to lie about that!"

What am I even doing?!

I'm not sure why I vomit those words at him. It was stupid, and I'm clearly not thinking straight.

Not at all.

I'm jealous because Leo is gorgeous and posted those silly pictures of himself with countless women online. I'm also angry because we were mates in the other timeline, and part of me expects him to remember that even though this isn't the same world. Dumb, right?

My brain is f****d up.

Leo growls. "None of which I've kissed or had s*x with! Don't just assume things! It's not really your business either!"

He didn't even kiss them?

I'm not convinced in the slightest. I bet Leo is standing here and lying to me. It's not my business, but I can't stop myself from opening my disgusting mouth again. "Really, you didn't sleep with any of those girls?"

"No, I was saving myself for my mate until you burst in out of nowhere and took advantage of me!"

"I still don't believe it was your first kiss-you're too pretty to be left alone by the women population."

"What does my appearance have to do with any of this?!"

"I'm just saying guys like you hardly save themselves."

"Guys like me?" Leo questions in a snarl. "Well, either way, I wasn't lying, Nora! The mate-bond is sacred to me, and you've ruined everything! You took advantage of me!" The anger on Leo's face makes him appear even larger and more monstrously huge. More of an alpha.

I stare up at him, trying to keep a brave face even though I'm absolutely dwarfed. I won't let that scare me, though. I'm tired of running and will just stand for what I want. "Took advantage of you? Pfft! Don't act as if you didn't like the kiss that I gave you! You're hard!"

"I was hard even before you kissed me!" Leo barks back while approaching me.

I have to crane my neck to see his eyes. "Ugh, stop coming closer to me while raising your voice! You're scaring me!"

My last sentence gives him pause. His eyes widen as if he is shocked that I admitted to being afraid of him. It gives me enough time to run out through the door.

I'm not sure where I'm going, though.

I teleported out of nowhere, kissed Leo, got jealous, picked a fight, and now I'm running away from him.

What the hell am I even doing?!
