Melody's P.O.V.

Till now I only thought that Tyson is funny and free to be with. But I don't know Alec was more. He keep telling me some jokes and his doings in his childhood. My stomach is hurting with my laughter. I didn't feel shy or nervous with him like others. Instead I felt at ease. I felt like I got a brother in him.

When he grabbed me the minute I'm about to fall, if it's another person than Alec, I'd definitely wanted to smack myself for being so clumsy. But when Alec hold me, it feels normal. There's no closeness or intimacy for me to be embarrassed. When we're in the middle of our talk, suddenly I felt a hand wrapped my elbow and pulled me towards them. Before I could even turn, I know who is it by inhaling his manly scent. Goosebumps rose over my entire body giving me a pleasurable shudder.

"Go away" Hunter literally growled at Alec. 

I know instantly from his voice that he's angry that too on Alec. But why? Alec raised a brow in surprise and started looking back and forth at me and Hunter. Soon his surprised face morphed into a mischievous knowing smirk.

"And you..... Come with me" Hunter ordered me and not giving me a chance to speak, he pulled me towards his office.

I glanced back at Alec waving apologetically. He waved back but I could still see a slight smirk on his face.

"What the hell are you doing back there?" Hunter roared at me once we reached his office room.

I am confused what he's talking about. What did I do?

His face is full of anger that I want to disappear from here. I didn't saw him this angry till now. I wish the ground under my feet could open up and swallow me whole.

"Huh?" I replied idiotically not knowing how to reply his question.

He snarled at me taking a menacing step to me, as my legs backed without thinking. Seeing this, it angered him more.

"DO NOT FLIRT WITH MY MEN!!!" he screamed making my eyes widened at his accusing.

How dare he?!

"I'M NOT FLIRTING" I too screamed equally.

Hunter looks shocked for a minute but composed himself.

"Didn't seem like it" he scoffed.

He's irritating me!!!

"I'm not flirting with anyone" I stated again narrowing my eyes at him, "And even if I am, it's NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS."

Hunter's eyes darkened and in next second, my back is pressed to the wall, hands lifted up as Hunter held them tightly together with his one hand above my head. His other hand palmed dangerously below my breasts restraining from my moves to get away from him. His breath fanning over my cheeks making them hot and red. I shut my eyes in fear of what may come. The words left his mouth sent immense shock throughout my body.

"YOU. ARE. MINE." he gritted out, "Get that through your mind. And if you dare to flirt with anyone...... you won't like the result of it. Understand?" 

But my mine couldn't hear his last words as it struck on 'you are mine.'

I opened my eyes only to see his dark and intense yet dangerous orbs looking through me. Gathering my courage as much as I could, I replied stuttering.

"I-I'm not y-yours."

He took another step to me making his full body plastered with mine. Every single inch of his hard body is now touching me sending shivers down my spine. My breath hitched as he lifted my chin up. Hunter smirked at my condition and leaned to the side as now his lips grazing my ear.

"Yes, you are" he replied huskily, "Or, did you forgot our kiss? Then I don't mind reminding you again" saying that he leaned close to my lips.

My heart stopped hearing him. No, I can't let his do that. I tried to release my hands from his grip but it only tightened. So, I turned my head to other side. Chuckling, Hunter began to leave pepper kisses on my cheek, slowly sliding to my neck. 

I started to shiver at his touches. Seeing my difficulty, Hunter took pity on me, leaving me but not before biting and sucking the skin at my neck. Hissing at the pain, I looked at him in shock when he kissed the pain away. He released me putting some distance between us. He seemed to be completely fine to me, but it's me who is in daze still now. He gazed at my neck and gave me a satisfied grin that weaken my knees. Somehow, I get grip on myself but it only last few seconds.

"Be ready tonight. We're going to a party" he declared.

"No...." I screamed in fear, "I don't want to come."

He shrugged carelessly, "Too bad then. But you are going to."

I looked at him in disbelief, "Why do I have to?"

"Because I said so."

How arrogant!! 

"I won't" I replied.

"You will."

"Urgh..... You are really irritating me. Can't you understand. I don't want to come. Why do I have to. I probably don't know anyone there. You can take other, then why me?" I cried out.

"Because I don't want to go with anyone except you" he stated.

Well, that shut me up quickly as he continued, "And I wanna show the world that you are mine."

"How many times do I have to tell you that I'm not yours?" I shrieked as he wrapped his hand around my waist and pulled me to him. 

He looked at my neck again and brought his gaze back at mine.

"I claimed you, Melody. Even if you don't want to, no one can deny it. Now be a good girl like you are and be ready at 8. And I promise you'll enjoy it. Also, Daisy, Tyson and Kade are coming. So no need to afraid that you don't know anyone there. Moreover-" his hand squeezed my waist and lower his head closer to mine, "I'd be beside you always."

By now, I just don't know where to hide my face.

"So, cut the bullshit about not knowing anyone and be ready. If you don't, I'll throw you over my shoulder, take you there myself. And I won't care what you wear. You are beautiful anyways" saying that, he left leaving me alone with his thoughts clouding me.

You are mine.

I claimed you.

Hunter's words keep ringing in my head continuously. Those words, that possessiveness is scaring the hell out of me. I myself can hear my heartbeat thudding loudly in the silent room. Sweat formed on my forehead in fear, my hands are shaking like a leaf.

What if Hunter is like him? No no. He's not. Hunter is not like him. I got to know him in these weeks. He won't be like him. He can't be.

You are mine.

This time, it's not Hunter's voice I heard in my head. It was his voice. Those were the same words he used to say to me.

Hunter is definitely not like him. I know it. But..... But what if he is?

What if Hunter became obsessed with me just like him?

***

It's been 5 minutes since Daisy was stilled like a statue. If someone see her right now, they might think that she's a statue for sure. And the reason of her became like that is I told her about Hunter asking me to accompany the party.

He did not asked you, Mel. He ordered you.

Tired of waiting for her to be normal again, I shake her to bring her back. Daisy blinked her eyes and shook her head lightly before screaming so loudly that I have to cover both my ears not wanting to become a deaf.

"Ahhhhhh......."

The doors burst open and there stands Gabriel, Tyson and Alec with their guns pointing to us. Without bothering to ask what happened, Tyson and Alec pulled both of us behind them whereas Gabriel began to search the room.

"Uhh..... guys? What are you doing?" I asked coming to my senses.

"I screamed in happiness. You know, Hunter asked Mel to be his date in the party" Daisy explained grinning sheepishly.

All three men sighed and shook their heads like they were used to her antics.

"Don't scream like that again. W thought there are intruders attacking you" Gabriel scolded Daisy.

"Uffooo..... Boys, who dare to step into my room without permission? I'll beat them to pulp" she stated, "Now, get lost. I need a talk with Mel."

I gulped knowing what she wants to talk about. Tyson murmured some words like crazy, gives heart attack. Soon, they leaved the room and quickly she takes my hand and made me sit on the bed.

"Finally!! I thought I had to plot something to bring you both together" she said.

"What! Daisy, why do you want to?"

She sighed with a dreamy look, "You both are perfect to each other. See, you're a good girl and he's a badass biker. That's just so romantic and cute."

"You need to stop seeing chick flick movies Daisy" I replied, "Life is not a movie nor a novel."

"But we can give it a try. Don't you think?" she shrugged.

"Leave it. I came here to ask about the party. What type of dress I need to wear?" I asked hoping she'd not suggest any revealing dresses.

"It's just a formal business party. Normal party dress would do. Come now, it's already late. We have to get ready" she went to her closet.

"Umm.... Daisy, can you help me with selecting a dress. I don't want to embarrass myself in the party" I stuttered.

She turned placing her hands on the hips glaring at me.

"Do you think I'm insane to let you choose a dress for yourself? You probably would wear a jeans and shirt. I'm searching for your dress only."

I smiled at her before announcing, "Not too revealing."

"Yeah yeah" 

For nearly half an hour Daisy keep showing me various dresses. Some were too revealing, some were so glittery that will definitely blind eyes, some were too sexy and some were too colourful. Nothing is good enough to wear for normal. And I want a dress that don't catch eyes. I want a simple one.

At last, Daisy squealed taking one from the pit of dresses. It's a plain black dress. But it held an unknown beauty with it. And it's not too revealing too. Some of my skin would be seen on my back, but it's fine as long as I apply a little concealer. Daisy selected a red colour long gown for herself. It's perfect for her.

In the evening at 5, she burst through my door frantically muttering there's no time to get ready.

Seriously!!! This girl..... It still have 3 hours left to party and here she's behaving like it's 3 hours late.

I rolled my eyes at her when she thrust the dress at me ordering to take a bath quickly. By the time I came out of bathroom, she's already got ready and applying makeup. 

"Wow..... You look stunning Daisy" I said to her.

She indeed look beautiful with that smokey eye makeup and red lipstick that matches to her dress.

"Thanks, Mel. But I bet you will look hot in that dress."

I blushed at her comment as I'm not used to get compliments on my looks.

After I got dressed and showed it to her, I'm still somewhat uncertain about it.

"Whoa..... Someone have to try really hard to keep their hands off you" Daisy stated wiggling her brows.

I know who she's referring to. Hunter..... Will he like the dress?

Not bothering my protests, Daisy did some makeup and applied a hot red lipstick. After what it feel like forever, I saw my reflection in the mirror and the result nearly gave me a heart attack.

Is this really me? 

I couldn't even recognize myself. Really.... A dress and some little makeup can do wonders.

When it's 7:30 pm, we descended the stairs as Hunter and Tyson already waiting for us. Did I forgot to mention that Tyson is Daisy'd date? Well, he is. He's the only one  she was allowed to accompany with and it's Tyson himself who declared that.

As I stepped the last stair, My breath stopped at the sight in the hall. I'm scared my eyes would go blind at the handsomeness infront of me. Hunter is wearing a full black suit and the first buttons of his black shirt were undone giving a slight view of his muscular chest.

Is it wrong for me to say my mouth watered at his sight?!

Hunter is watching me with unreadable eyes that I don't know whether he likes my dress or not. I hope he tells me as I don't want to embarrass him with my company. 

Before I ask him, Tyson whistled interrupting me.

"Shit, Mel..... You look like a goddess" he winked at me.

Tyson too look handsome with his midnight blue suit with white shirt and a red tie that matched Daisy's dress. They definitely make a beautiful couple.

"Thanks. Umm..... You too" I replied blushing . 

When I saw Tyson cocked a brow, I realised my mistake.

"No..... Not like goddess. You....Y-You look handsome" I stuttered making him chuckle.

"I know" he smirked, "But see how unlucky I am.... I struck with a red devil here" he pointed to Daisy.

She narrowed her eyes and pinched his arm hardly. From the looks of it, it surely is painful. Confirming my thoughts, Tyson shrieked loudly rubbing his arm. But Daisy had other idea in her mind and when Tyson is busy rubbing his arm soothing the pain, she elbowed him in the stomach.

Tyson quickly moved away from her shouting, "Gosh, women..... show me some mercy."

She just shrugged nonchalantly, "You brought it to yourself."

Out of nowhere, a hand extended to meas I jerked slightly in fear. I glanced at Hunter giving me his hand. After a small inner battle, I placed mine in his.

"Ready to go?" he asked still without any emotions.

Maybe he didn't like the way I look.

"I'm never ready to go to a party" I muttered to myself.

Hunter gripped my hand tightly and began to walk pulling me with him. I looked back to see Daisy and Tyson still bickering.

"Uhh..... Are they not coming with us?" I asked confusedly.

"They will. In a separate car."

That made my heart drop to my stomach. It means I'd be alone with Hunter in the car. Oh God!!!

Someone have to try really hard to keep their hands off you....

Daisy's words echoed in my mind making me shiver at the thought. But it's not the matter now. Right now, what really a main question is-

How can I control myself around him this entire evening?!
