Everest Emerald
Moment of truth
Everest stared into his deep sapphire eyes, glowing with intensity as he closed the door and embraced them with an very, very uncomfortable silence.
He stared down at her chest that she so gladly exposed in her provoking green crop top the back to her lips and up to her eyes again. It was very amusing for her, he couldn't have possibly been more obvious.
"What are you doing here, Ev-"
She cleared her throat loudly when he was about to say her name. "I could've called, but I wanted to surprise you. Surprised?"
Logan looked like he almost didn't believe she was here, and Everest noticed that. She got up, semi-annoyed-ly when he didn't answer her question with words but with a brisk nod. He had walked past her and to his office, acting like the small white stain on the computer was the most interesting thing in the world.
"Speak. I'm busy, I haven't got all day."
His tone turned harsh and emotionless, would've hurt Everest of she wasn't so overconfident and understanding. She, instead, walked to where Logan was sitting, typing on his computer and ignoring her, and turned the chair to face her, resting both her arms on either side.
She ignored her over affective wolf that just wants to kiss him into coma at the moment.
She locked her emerald eyes to his sapphire eyes with a determine expression. He was good looking, she couldn't deny that. He was attractive, strong and assertive, dominating and intelligent. He was almost perfect for her if it wasnt for the color of his eyes and his roots.
He wasn't that bad though. What mal could she do if she had a little fun with him?
"Let's play a game, Sapphire."
Logan raised his brow and stared at her for a moment, as if trying to ensure himself if she was serious or not. Even with the playful glint in her eyes and the smirk, she was serious. She watched as he sighed and narrowed his eyes.
"You came all the way here to play a game with me?"
"I actually did, and I know you'll like it."
"Please tell me it's not hide and go seek, this house is too big."
She rolled her eyes. "As much as I'll love to get lost in a territory enemy to mine, I'd rather not."
"What do you want to play at then, Emerald?"
Something in his voice was almost seducing, the way his eyes darkened in his words laced with lusty suggestion. Everest tried to ignore how a certain fire ignited in her, her own mind taking a turn in the wtong direction.
She hadn't even yet proposed the game, and she already felt as if he won.
"You and I, Sapphire. Let's play a game, a game that will conclude all of this messed up mate thing, a game with one winner, a game of pride, a game of rejection."
Logan's face lightened with interest. "Go on."
"Rules are simple. Five months, about one hundred fifty three days of mateship. One hundred fifty three days of torture and crave. One hundred fifty three days with one hundred fifty three ways to make the other crack with the UnMarked Mate Symptoms. At the end of these one hundred and fifty three days, the strongest one of us will reject the weaker one and walk with all the pride and dignity. Are you up for such game, dear mate? Or are you going to give up one hundred and fifty three days earlier?"
Logan plastered a smirk on his face. He look pleased with her words and she was pleased with herself. She sounded so sure of herself and determined, there was no way she could lose this.

He chuckled after the few seconds of silence. "You really are full of surprises, aren't you? You really think you could go through five months of being mated to me and not marked?"
"Is this you trying to twist your fear to me so that you could give up?"
"You don't know me, Emerald."
"Neither do you, Sapphire."
"You really don't know what you're playing at."
"Oh trust me darling, I know."
He narrowed his eyes again then sighed out loud. "I agree to play this dangerous game with you. But, let me tell you one thing. At the end of these five months, if you fall for me, don't expect me to feel sorry and not reject you."
"I am a woman of my words, Sapphire. I'm not a bad loser. In fact, I'm not a loser at all. But if by any miracle you win, I won't be at your feet begging you to love me."
"Fine then, Everest, I agree to play this game and win it."
She shivered, her heartbeat fastened and her mind wilden at the way her name rolled of his tongue in such a sexy way. Her grip on the chair tightened as she invisibly glared at Logan.
"Trust me, the only thing you'd win is a broken heart, Logan."
His eyes darkened when she said his name. She was satisfied with herself until she noticed the way his eyes were fixated on her lips making her look at his too. She wanted to kiss him again, her overexcited wolf bdgging her to. She just wanted to know how it was like to be kissed by the man destined for you, the man that's supposed to love you, your mate.
Logan made the girst move to lean and and soon, the gap between them was closed. Her lips were dominated by his in a lusty kiss, all her veins buzzing with electicity. She reacted so much to it, even too much. Logan fought for dominance but Everest didnt let him. He stood up, still kissing her, and held her waste. The sparks and tingles she felt went beyond imagination. She never felt such way in her whole life. She riamed her hands curiously at his clothed chest while he caressed her exposed skin, pleasuring her in a very uncommon way.
At that moment nothing else mattered. Not the stupid rivalry between their parents, not the unwanted mateship. Only he mattered and she, in one room sharing a very feeling attracted kiss. She almost forgot about it all, but then she remembered.
Her lower part wanted him so bad, but she couldn't lose. She couldn't kiss him because he wanted him. Instead, she had to kiss him because he wanted her and she wanted to win.
She pulled away with a low chuckle.
"Score one for me, Sapphire. I have a feeling you womt be able to control yourself for the next one hundred and fifty two days."
And neither could I.

"Why do you have that stupid look on your face, Everest."
She ignored him and walked into her room, about to shut the door but he forced it open. She let him in fake nonchalance and walked to her drawers.
"Where has all your lipstick gone?"
She whipped her head to meet Allias' pale green ones with an arched brow.
"I wiped it off."
He scoffed. "You did, or someone else did it for you?"
