Chapter 205

**Chapter 205**

I was surprised when he came back with a red solo cup filled with water. I expected him to bring a water bottle or something similar, but he didn’t seem bothered by my surprise. He simply handed me the cup.

I looked into the cup and noticed clear liquid inside. It didn’t have a smell, which made me feel a bit more at ease. I smiled at him gratefully.

“Thank you,” I said as I picked up the cup.

I took a sip from the cup, but the taste was a bit strange. I wrinkled my nose and looked back at the cup, then up at him.

“It’s non-filtered,” he said. “We don’t have any filtered water at the moment.”

“We just ran out,” he said.

I nodded; that made sense. I took another sip of my drink. It tasted a bit strange, but it felt good compared to the beer. As I drank a little more, I looked up at him.

He looked at me with a curious expression on his face.

“So, are you seeing anybody?” he asked.

I was caught off guard by his question, but I did my best not to let it show. This was unexpected.

It was a strange way to meet someone. I was standing outside the bathroom while my best friend was inside, sick and throwing up.

“No,” I told the guy who approached me, even though I wasn’t entirely sure if that was the truth. At that moment, I felt confused about everything.

I didn’t feel like I was seeing anyone. But would Gavin agree with me? “But I’m not exactly looking for anyone to see either,” I said.

He nodded.

“I get that,” he replied. “I haven’t really dated in a long time.”

I lived in a frat house, surrounded by a lot of excitement. Sure, there were women who were interested in me, but none of them really caught my attention. Not like you do.

I smiled as I took another sip of water.

“You’re quite the smooth talker,” I teased him. “That can be dangerous.”

“Why is that dangerous?” he asked, curious.

“Because I’m sure you can get what you want just with your words,” I replied.

As I spoke, I watched his reaction, intrigued by the way he carried himself.

I noticed my cheeks were getting warm and my voice sounded distant to my ears. I tried to shake off the feeling, thinking I was just a bit tired and lightheaded from the beer I had earlier.

“Maybe I can…”

He stepped closer to me and asked, “Is that a problem?”

I shook my head, but then I felt really dizzy from the movement. I had to grab the wall to steady myself.

“Wow…” I said, letting out a nervous laugh. I was confused about what had just happened. “Is it hot in here?”

I could feel sweat starting to form on my forehead, and my breathing was getting heavier. Why was I feeling this way?

“Why am I feeling so hot all of a sudden?” I asked.

“Maybe just a little,” Kyle replied with a frown. “You should drink some more water.”

I nodded and took another long sip from my cup. Before long, it was empty.

He took the cup from my hands and tossed it into the nearest trash can. My cheeks felt hot, and I found myself pressing against the wall, worried that I might topple over.

“Feeling any better?” he asked as he walked back towards me.

“Um…”

“I don’t know…” I said, my words coming out much more slurred than I intended. I was confused and unsure of what was happening to me.

I thought I had said those last words out loud, but then I realized that I hadn’t.

I wasn’t sure if it was me speaking out loud, but it felt strange. It didn’t even feel like my voice anymore.

Was I even breathing?

I looked up at Kyle, who was now very close to me. He wrapped his arms around me, and I could feel his warmth.

He wrapped his arms around me, holding me close so I wouldn’t fall over. It was very kind of him, but I still felt confused about what was happening to me.

“Hey, you’re okay,” he said softly, his voice comforting me.

His voice sounded far away, and his image began to blur. I tried to speak, but no words came out. My lips felt completely numb, and I couldn’t remember how to talk.

He lowered his head, and I sensed his presence nearby.

I felt his warm breath on my neck.

“How about we go upstairs? You can lie down and rest,” he suggested.

I wanted to shake my head and tell him that I just wanted to go home. But I couldn’t move.

My head felt heavy. It was like my whole body was becoming paralyzed. Deep inside, my wolf was desperate to break free; she was in agony as heat surged through her. It was a strange feeling because I could sense her heat—it was painful and made me feel restless.

I felt a severe burn throughout my entire body, and I was so exhausted that I couldn’t move. What was happening to me?

Before I realized it, he had lifted me into his arms and was holding me like a bride.

“Let’s go to…”

“My room,” he whispered softly, planting little kisses along the back of my neck.
