Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 55: Dylan's Visit 

Jennifer's POV:

Tonight's party was filled with interesting moments.

I had seen Caroline's tricks, and also witnessed Kevin being driven away.

Caroline always wore a smile on her face, but I had a feeling that she wasn’t as simple as she seemed.

However, it was a good thing that Kevin was finally sent back to his pack.

I didn't feel even an ounce of pity for him.

He deserved the punishment he got.

After dealing with Kevin's matter, we all returned to the party.

After dinner, Elizabeth left with Caroline.

"Caroline, cwith me.I have a lot to talk to you about."

"Anthony, Jennifer, I'll be leaving with Mom,"

Caroline said toand Anthony, waving goodbye at us.

Once the two of them left, Anthony ledto the forest on the island.

Both of us liked taking a walk in the forest.

It was quiet and peaceful here.

"Jennifer, I think I should explain to you about Caroline.”

"Anthony held my hand and looked ataffectionately.”

"Her father contributed a lot to the Osman Kingdom, and he died at a young age for the country.At that time, Caroline was only a few years old.My mother felt sorry for her, so she took her in and raised her.What's more, Caroline saved my mother's life once.So my mother treats her as her own daughter, and my father even bestowed her with the title of the princess.I'm not related to Caroline by blood, but ever since I was young, I knew that my mother thought of her as her daughter.And she and I used to playmates when we were kids.Because of all this, I've always treated Caroline as a younger sister.You are the only mate for me."

"Anthony, don't worry.I understand."

Warmth enveloped my heart as I listened to Anthony's earnest explanation, and I leaned against his chest.

"I love you.But I think Miss Wilson has feelings for you."

"I will be careful."

Anthony pinched my chin with his fingers, lowered his head, and kissed me.

"Jennifer, I won't let any other woman get close to me.You are the only one for me, now and forever."

Those words madefelt like I was melting into a puddle.

I closed my eyes, wrapped my arms around his waist, and kissed him back.

Tonight, Anthony's kiss was particularly gentle.

The warmth of his lips against mine mademoan.

I slipped my tongue into his mouth and let it explore the crevices of his mouth.

Gradually, the kiss grew more and more intense, and Anthony's hands grew restless.

He slipped one hand into my dress and began kneading my breasts.

With the other hand, he spread my thighs apart, and gently stroked my clit.

"Ah...Anthony..."

Gasp after gasp left my lips as he continued to pleasurewith his hands.

In the secluded forest, our bodies entangled together.

It was getting dark.

Dylan’s POV:

Jennifer toldto go see Skylar, who hadn't been discharged from the hospital yet.

Apparently, Skylar missedvery much.

And the truth was, I was also worried about her.

After hesitating for a while, I decided to go to the hospital.

Since I knew that Skylar was my mate, I wouldn't be able to act normal in front of her.

I had put off visiting her not because I didn't care about her, but because I really didn't know how I was going to get along with her.

When I stepped into the ward with the basket of fruits I had bought on the way, I saw Skylar's eyes light up like the sun.

"Dylan, you're here,"she said excitedly, wavingover.

"Chere."I put down the basket of fruits on the table nearby and walked to the bed.

"How are you?" I asked.

I could feel my ears burning in embarrassment.

"Not good."

Skylar pouted her lips and lowered her head dejectedly.

"I feel uncomfortable everywhere."

"Should I call the doctor?" I asked worriedly.

"No need." Skylar grabbed my arm and leaned towards me.

"I feel much better when I can see you.I can only recover with you by side.Dylan, can you stay here with me?"

As she approached me, my whole body stiffened.

Her soft hands wrapped around my neck and clung to me, making my heart beat fast.

"I..."

I wanted to tell her that I couldn't stay the night, but Skylar shotsuch a pitiful look that I couldn't help but swallow my words.

"Letget you a glass of water."

I pushed her away gently and looked for the glass in a hurry.

My heart was still racing against my chest, and I didn't dare to look at Skylar again.

"Dylan, my chest hurts,"

Skylar whined from behind me.

Swallowing hard, I poured a glass of warm water, put it on the bedside table, and sat next to the bed, looking at Skylar with concern.

"What's wrong? Are you sure you don't wantto call a doctor over?"

"I'm sure,"

Skylar said hurriedly, before pouting atlike a spoiled child.

"I just want you to sit here and givecompany."

"Uh...Okay."

I nodded, but I felt so awkward that I subconsciously fidgeted with my hands.

"Dylan, I want swater."

Skylar blinked her eyes atand licked her chapped lips.

"I'm thirsty."

My eyes lingered on her lips for a moment before I quickly turned away, picked up the glass of water and handed it to her.

"No.Feed me,"

Skylar said, holding my arm and looking atexpectantly.

I had no choice but to rest the rim of the glass against her lips and tilt it gently, feeding her the water bit by bit.

"Drink slowly."

I patted her on the back.

As I watched the waiter trickle into her throat, my hand on her back becunconsciously gentle.

By the tSkylar finished drinking the water, her face was bright red.

As soon as I put down the empty glass, she leaned heavily into my arms.

I froze, not knowing what to do.

"Dylan, it's so nice having you here."

Skylar squinted up atand smiled from ear to ear, almost as if she was drunk.

"Dylan, don't leave me..."

Her bold and straightforward words shockedso much that I burst into a fit of coughing.

I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.

How could she be so unreserved? It was like she was the opposite of me.

"Dylan, are you really Jennifer's elder brother?"

Leaning against my chest and looking up at me, Skylar stroked my eyelids and eyebrows with her fingers, sending a shiver through me.

"To be honest, I think you two have similar features.You do look like siblings."

"Really?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Maybe, but I don't remember her.But whenever I see her, I get the feeling that we were close before."

"Yes, then it must be true." Skylar nodded vigorously.

"Your eyes and your mouth are just like Jennifer's..."

As she spoke, her fingertips traced down the features on my face, stopping on my lips.

My heart was about to jump out of my chest.

I was just about to push Skylar when she suddenly leaned up and kissed me.

My eyes widened in surprise, and I stiffened completely.

I didn't expect her to be so forward.

The softness of her lips remindedthat she was askingfor a kiss.

But I was so nervous that I didn't know what to do.

A part ofthought that I should push her away, but my limbs didn't listen; I didn't want to ruin such a wonderful moment.

With her face so close to mine, I could smell the sweet scent of her skin, which madefeel intoxicated.

"Skylar..."

All sense of reason left me.

I buried my fingers in the back of her hair, and instinctively deepened the kiss.

But when the deft tip of her tongue touched me, it was like a bolt of electricity that shookback to my senses, causingto instantly pull away from the kiss and stand up.

"Skylar, don't do that again,"

I said, panting as I stared at her red face.

It was only after taking several deep breaths that I managed to calm down.

"But Dylan, you want to be close totoo, right? You liked it."

Skylar pouted and wrapped her arms around my waist again, trying to pullback to her.

"I could feel your reaction.You and I are mates.We should be together."

"No matter what, this is too fast."

I sighed, wondering how to explain it to her in a way that she would understand.

"Skylar, I don't want us to rush into anything casually.Givestime, okay?"

"Fine, but stay withtonight.You are not allowed to leave this ward,"

Skylar said firmly, sticking out her tongue at me.

Then, her tone softened.

"Dylan, you're the best. You won't leavealone, will you?"

"Okay, okay, I'll stay with you."

With a resigned sigh, I gingerly sat on the bed.

Skylar lay down and nestled into my arms with satisfaction.

With her body so close to mine, I found it hard to even think straight for a long time.

Skylar and I talked until we both began feeling sleepy.

My eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

Without realizing, I fell asleep with Skylar in my arms.
