Chapter 61: The Beast – Part l

• When Ophelia suddenly pressed their lips together, Dallas's eyes widened. But his surprise turned to delight as he willingly embraced the lips and began kissing back. His hand reached for her hips, but before he could place his fingertips on her skin, it was jerked away with force. Ophelia glanced up in horror as Dallas's body was hauled away from her and Onyx stood in front of her. In the faint moonlight, she noticed how his veins protruded from his neck and arms, and how his shoulders flared up, making him appear even larger. His stance was predatory as his balled fist landed on Dallas's face. Dallas's body jolted back in pain, and Ophelia gasped. Onyx had his hand around Dallas's neck, holding him in place while his fists landed on his face. Ophelia yelled at him, but it seemed as if his ear was sealed. Ophelia had had enough and stepped in front of Onyx, grabbing his hand before he could land the fourth punch.
• "That is enough!" She snarled as she yanked Onyx's arm away from Dallas's collar.
• "You f*ucking asshole! Who do you think you are to raise your hand on him?" Ophelia snarled, her face contorted with rage.
