Predatory Marriage (Web Novel)

Chapter 343 – Jealousy (3)

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Leahs mind went blank. Ishakans mood was so unusual, for a moment the insane thought popped into her mind…

…did I cheat on him and then forget it?

But no, that was ridiculous. Leah tried to gather her thoughts. She had met that man at the bookstore earlier, and the smell of his tobacco might have lingered on her clothes, after their conversation.

And it had not only been a long time since her visit to the bookstore, but she hadnt even been around that man for very long while he was smoking. Surreptitiously, Leah sniffed. She couldnt smell anything. It took a beasts senses to notice something so subtle.

Either way, it was a simple explanation. She looked up at Ishakan. That smile was still curving his lips, and it made goosebumps rise on her skin.

Ishakan didnt doubt Leahs fidelity. They were mates who had bonded their souls together. As they were each part of each other, their bond was eternal.

But even with that, Ishakan did not allow just anyone to get close to her. Those who didnt know Ishakan did not think he was a jealous man because he always outwardly appeared unworried. Those who knew him well knew that he was very jealous indeed.

People who approached Leah with good intentions were treated well. But he was not so sanguine with those that approached her with s3xual intent. With the instincts of an animal, Ishakan sensed it when someone was interested in his mate. In this case, without knowing anything about the circumstances, he sensed it just from the scent of foreign tobacco smoke on her clothing. It was almost more like sorcery than instinct.

As she wondered what to do, Leah decided a kiss wouldnt hurt, and caught his cheeks, brushing her lips against his. Ishakan accepted the kiss without hesitation.

His tongue immediately pressed into her mouth through her parted lips, and after a brief but passionate kiss, they broke apart.

“I seem to have caught some of the smell of the cigar the bookstore owner was smoking,” she said.

“So?”

“So I need you to cover it up with your scent.”

Ishakan smiled at the awkward attempt at seduction. Lifting her in his arms, he carried her over to the nearby sofa. His hands went to the buttons on her gown, slowly exposing her skin, and then stopped.
