The next chapter would be in Delilah's POV...
D E L I L A H The next couple of weeks passed by in a blur and Azriel had made it his thing to avoid me like the plague. I tried to pretend like it wasn’t affecting me, but how long could I continue to pretend? No matter how much I beat myself for loving someone else’s man, a part of me still feels like I had a right to do so. He was my mate after all. I shouldn’t feel guilty, right? “Ms. Rossini, I can’t recall employing you to daydream all day, did I?” A deep cold voice said from behind me, jolting me out of my thoughts. I rode my chair to find Azriel standing by my office door with his hands folded across his chest. his expression was cold has a gazed at me. This was the most he has spoken to me in three weeks and my body did that familiar tingly sensation it does whenever I was aware of his presence. The hairs around the back of my neck pricked in awareness as I cleared my throat uncomfortably. “I’m sorry, sir.” I said, keeping a straight face as I turned back to my computer,
The ride to the bus stop was filled with awkward silence as I sat in the car with my wet body. I knew he was annoyed at the fact that my body was staining his expensive leather seats, but surprisingly he didn’t make comment about it.I didn’t realize how much of my breath I had been holding until we arrived at the bus stop but my relief was short-lived as I realized that there was no single bus in the bus station.“Shit,” I cussed, glancing over at him, my frustration clear in my eyes. He sighed, finally breaking the silence that had weighed heavily on us.“I could drop you off at your place if you want,," he said, his voice surprisingly gentle. "I didn't expect this to happen either."“No.” I immediately rejected the idea. “The worst thing I’d do is give your girlfriend more reasons to think there is something going on between us. I’ll just book an Uber or something.” I said, my voice laced with judgement as I brought out my phone from my purse.“Where the hell is that coming from?”
D E L I L A H The rain got so heavy that I knew we couldn't stay inside the car anymore. The car wasn't warm anymore and I winced as series of thunders clashed in the sky. I hated the sounds of thunders and wished I was just in my bed right now cuddling with Kian. “We have to get out of here.” Azriel said, making me turn towards him. After his proclamation, we had been sitting in silence, neither of us knowing what to say or do. I frowned at his statement. Was he kidding? Where on earth did he want us to go? “And go where?” I asked, looking at him incredulously. “It's so dark put and we must have been soaked by the rain before we can find shelter.” “You always find a way to oppose my every decision, don't you?” He gritted out, not sparing me a glance as his jaw ticked. I opened my mouth to speak but he added, “Look there—” He pointed at a tiny abandoned hut that had a warm glowing light inside. “–I wouldn't have suggested we left the car if I didn't see a much better place.” “Oh,
His declaration made my heart explode. My heart burst with joy and it was only then I realized how much I had longed to hear those words from him. I stared at him with watery eyes, feeling all sorts of emotions run through me. Joy, happiness, relief. Mostly relief.My list trembled and a tear dropped from my eyes which I didn't bother wiping away. “You... Does that mean you still l–” I wanted to say the words so badly but a part of me didn't want to crush the little hope I was building.Azriel looked at me, he cupped my jaw turning me to face him. He stared at me so intensely, I couldn't even look away if I wanted to. He had me trapped in his gaze as he whispered the three words that I've been do desperate to hear for the past five years. “I love you.” My heart flipped as I looked at him with my mouth ajar. The room around us seemed to fade into the background, and it was as if there was no one else in the world but Azriel and me. His thumb brushed away the tear that had escaped, and
D E L I L A HThe kiss started out slow and sweet until it became more urgent. None of us were able to get enough of each other. Azriel’s hands left my cheek and grabbed the back of neck, deepening the kiss.Unable to bear the distance between us anymore, I took a small step closer. My hands left Azriel's and went to his chest.His wings tucked in tightly as I stepped forward and brushed his leather clad arms.He groaned into my mouth, shoving his tongue into my mouth. I bit his lips lightly, enjoying the familiar taste of him. But also the unfamiliar taste if cigarettes he had obviously been smoking. I shook those thoughts out of my head, deciding I would bring up his smoking habits later– not when I desperately needed him.Azriel broke the kiss. “Delilah...” He growled. “You don't want this, trust me.”“You can't tell me what I do and do not want,” I said with a small grin. I looked him dead in the eyes. “I've wanted this for a while now.”Before he could protest, I leaned in, and k
D E L I L A HI woke up to series of feather like kisses on my neck. I bit back a smile, snuggling myself into the bed. “Wake up, sleepyhead. You have to get to work.”I let out a groan, feeling all to tired to even get out of bed. “I don't have to go to work. My boss would understand.” I said cheekily, earning a chuckle from him.“Believe me, he wouldn't. Your boss doesn't joke with his business and he might sack you from the job.”“Are you threatening me?” I said, opening one eye to look at him in amusement. He shjok his head and placed a peck on my lips.“Barely, just stating facts. Now get up princess, I'm not letting you off work today.” He said in a serious tone making me groan in annoyance.“Is the soreness I feel between my legs and the fact that you used every ounce of strength in Mr last night not enough to gaim me a day off?” I whined, playfully glaring at him.I watched as Azriel's eyes darked by my statement, reminiscing the events of last night. He cast me a list filled
D E L I L A H Azriel immediately knew something was up as soon as I barged into his office with my tear streaked face. He didn't care that there were people in his office as he immediately sauntered over to me. “Hey hey, what's wrong?” He cradled my cheek, turning me to face him. “Talk to me, baby.” I opened my mouth to speak, but my throat was too heavy to even make out a sentence without me crying. The men in the room looked at us with surprise on their faces but Azriel wasn't having it as he turned to them and growled, “Out y'all! This meeting is over!” They didn't need to be told twice as they all scrambled out of the office, leaving us alone. I face him, my lips trembling. “A-Azriel... I- Kian, his school called. T-they can't find him. They cand find my son!” I finally let the dam of years out as I fisted his shirt, crying into his chest. His body immediately tensed, going rigid. “What did you say?” His voice was void of emotions as he pulled away to look at me. “They c-c
D E L I L A H Horror passed through the security guard's eyes as Azriel’s brooding figure stood in front of him. He was a tall guy with dirty blonde hair, he had an innocent look that one could have looked past. But at this point anyone could be the culprit. I just want to get my baby back. “H-how may I help you?” The security guard stuttered, clearing his throat and trying to not let his trembling body noticeable. “You know damn well why I'm here. Your job is to make sure no kid leaves the school premises without parental guidance, right?” Azriel said in a cool, calm voice but I knew it was all a facade. He was barely restraining himself and I knew it was only a matter of minutes before he would explode. “Y-yes–” Without letting him complete his sentence, Azriel cut him off. “Care to tell me how my son left the school premises and you claim you didn't see him, whereas you've been here all day?” His voice was becoming darker as the seconds ticked. “Are you accusing me–” “Let's
