Lost In Her Mind

9. I don't want you

         I wanted to be sick. His hands touching my waist.
        "You know, you truly are beautiful, Aria." His voice barely came out as a whisper for nobody else but me to hear. I felt his hands leave my waist, but instead reach behind my neck and slightly began their trail down my skin. My body tensed at the sensation. My mind spinning as his hands went further and further.
           " I would like it if you would think about choosing me as your mate." He whispered. His breath was hot on my face. My heart began to beat wildly.
             Stop touching me. Let me go. Get off of me.
              "Get off of me!" I screamed as I kicked and flared my arms widely. But the effort did nothing as my arms and legs were being held down. I dug my fingernails deep into the flesh of the earth. Scratching, searching for anything to help me.
              His large hand reached out and grasped my cheeks tightly.
              "Don't you know? I love the fighters."He smirked.
              "Strip her, now!" He commanded the rouges holding me down.
               "Stop, please, get off me!" I once again screamed at no avail.

                "Excuse me. Do you guys mind if I cut in?" I couldn't help but jump at the voice. The smell of oak once again overtakes my senses.  Turning, I stood between Alpha Jax and Alpha Zine. I was glad for the intrusion that broke his hands off of me.
                "No, not at all." Alpha Jax turned towards me.
                  "We will further this conversation another time." And with that, he turned and walked away, leaving me alone to stand with Alpha Zine, my mate.
                  I couldn't help the shock when he held out his hand towards me. Slowly and tightly, I took it, and he pulled me closer while he placed his hands on my waist. Tingling sensation ran through my body from the tip of his fingertips. My heart began to thump in my chest as I lightly put my hands on his chest.
              "You act like you have never danced with anyone." He grumbled as he grabbed my arms and wrapped them around his shoulders, making me stand on the tips of my feet to be able to do so. His eyes never looked me in the face.
             "It's been a while." I managed to say.
               He finally looked me in the face as his feet slowly moved back and forth in a swaying motion as I followed.
               "You're saying that you, the daughter of an alpha, haven't been dancing in a while. Excuse me, but that's pretty hard to believe." I was almost taken back by the bluntness of his words. Part of me wanting to let go and to just leave and another part of wanting to stay in this position. My mind was spinning.
               " That's exactly what I'm saying." I blurted.
                 "What exactly was Jax talking to you about?" He suddenly asked. I followed his eye line and saw him watching as Jax held my father in some kind of conversation. Both of their attention completely oblivious to us.
                 I stood silent for a moment before I opened my mouth.
               "He wanted me to think about choosing him as my future mate."
                For a moment, just a moment, everything was silent, just the sound our swaying back and forth.
                "Well, I guess we both can't ignore the obvious. You can tell, can't you?" He asked once again, eyeing me down.
                  "Yes." I mumbled as I looked at his chest. The button on his shirt threatened to explode from how tight his muscles were underneath.
                  "Just know that because we are mates doesn't automatically mean that I want you." I couldn't help but flinch from the words that left his mouth.
                I didn't want a mate, I wanted to be left completely alone to curl into my bed and just disappear completely. But the words that left his mouth, I still felt the pain from them.  This time, I looked back up at him, letting my eyes meet his own.
                "Just know that because we are mates, doesn't automatically mean I want you either. In fact, I don't." I noticed the frown that spread across his face at my own words. But not caring, I released my arms, turned my heels, and walked away. Just wanting to find a place to hide.
