Page 4 of Undercover Wolf's Forbidden Temptation

She purses her lips and fiddles with her fingers, obviously avoiding my gaze. I don’t know if I like what is happening here, feeling quite odd about the entire thing. When she looks at me, it’s like she is looking at someone that she likes. There is no way that she can have feelings for me.

I’m not good enough.

“I wanted to ask you out on a date.” She suddenly confesses to me, making me freeze because I didn’t expect that, “I know that I’m Andrew’s daughter, but he has already given me his blessing to go on a date. I don’t know if anything will come from it but all I am asking is that you give me a chance. Please…”

She is looking at me persistently, an odd look in her eyes that makes me feel like I could truly go crazy. I don’t know if it is going to be fine between us but I’m trying to do whatever I can tobring her close to me. I can’t believe that she ended up asking me out on a date which was really unexpected. Why would she even want me like that?

I’m nothing to her.

I shouldn’t be anything like that.

She doesn’t even realize who I am or what I’m capable of.

How I’m going to ruin the place that she called home.

“I don’t know if that is a good idea.” I murmur although something inside of me is calling to her, my wolf stirring as he is practically pacing back and forth, itching to get closer, “I know you must think me to be this good dude or something, but I am a part of this group and you deserve better than that, Claire.”

She deserves a lot better than anyone.

“I’m fine.” She assures me, nervously gnawing on that plump bottom lip as she is probably trying to drive me crazy, “You don’t have to worry about a thing, I can assure you that we can just do one date. I know you feel the connection and it would be wrong to feel it and not see where it leads. Don’t you think so?”

I shouldn’t, I know it.

My wolf on the other hand decided to take over before I could even think to hold him back.

“Sure, I’d love to take you out on a date.” The words pass through my lips, really making me want to strangle my own wolf because how could he do this, “I will see you later then.”

A big smile on her face is enough to drive me crazy, longing to do a lot more. I don’t know how she has already managed to have this chokehold on me, but it is enough to make me want to do a lot more. I long to be with her but it’s not a good idea for me to do that because I’m afraid that it’s just going to end up with both of us getting hurt.

As an undercover agent, I can’t allow these feelings to get in the way of my job.

I can’t let anything destroy what I have built.

I really have no idea what I’m going to do but I’m trying to do what I can. It’s an odd sensation that is burning inside of me, longing to do so much more but I’m afraid that if I give in to these desires, then she is going to figure everything out. If she does figure it out, I’m worried that I’ll end up losing everything.

I can’t allow that to happen.

Not here, not now.

Not with everything that I’ve been dealing with already.

Running my fingers through my hair, I sit on the edge of my bed as I stare out the door that she had disappeared out of. I’m longing to be close to her but it’s such a weird feeling, one that I don’t know how to deal with. It’s like nothing I have felt before, wishing that we could be close to each other. If we end up losing, I’m not sure what might come from it.

Will we even be okay?

“I’m going to regret this.” I grumble to myself as I rub my face, hoping it won’t turn out badly, “Director Hayes is going to kill me.”

I just better hope to keep her at enough distance and let her down easily.

Chapter Four

Claire

“I can’t believe that he is going on a date with me.” I am gushing to Sasha as I get ready, kind of fretting over what I’m going to wear because I have no idea if I’m going to be fine, “I thought for sure that he wasn’t even going to give me a chance but it’s like he decided to change his mind last minute. I hope that maybe this relationship can go a lot farther.”

“How much farther do you think it’ll go?” Sasha asks me, raising an eyebrow, “he might like you but unfortunately that doesn’t mean that your relationship will go well. If anything, he might end up rejecting you later on… Just don’t get your hopes up until you are for sure in a relationship together.”

Staring at him, I can’t help but wonder if I really might end up regretting everything. I don’t think I will when it comes to Hayden, seeing how he is the nicest man that I have met. When I look at him, it’s like nothing that I have ever seen and all I can think about is how close I want him to be next to me. I want him to be mine and I don’t want anything standing in my way either way because it would be the wrong thing that I do.
