Natalia:“Mrs. Knight” Mason said when he saw me entering the office. I had to fight back laughing at the name, but I knew that we were at the office, and he had to be formal “Mr. Knight is in his office”I nodded and walked toward the office carrying the bag of lunch, or more specifically, dinner. The man has been here throughout the whole day, and considering that it was a while past nine at night, and I wasn’t even sure whether or not he ate; bringing him something with me was more applicable.I knocked the office’s door twice, though I knew that he had already caught my scent; I waited until he called me inside. “Come in” Blake’s voice sounded like music to my ears. I smiled and entered the office to find him standing up from his chair. He fixed his jacket as I closed the door, and walked toward me, wrapping his arms around my body as he hugged me tightly. I smiled and kissed his cheek when we both pulled away.“I thought that I’d bring you something to eat while you worked” I sa
Blake:I laid my head on Natalia’s lap as she ran her fingers through my hair, while she scrolled through her phone, reading or texting.I came back from work exhausted and drained while she was already at home a while before I arrived. The two of us have been on our bed since after dinner, and she has been massaging my forehead or running her fingers through my hair in an attempt to help me relax since then. “You need to take things easy on yourself, Blake. You’ll end up getting sick, and believe me; no one wants that” she said gently. Water poured from her finger, wetting my hair, and lowering my body temperature. She tended to do that when she felt like my body was too hot for it to be normal, and as a wolf; my temperature was higher than that of a human.“I’m just going through a few issues at work, princess, don’t worry” Natalia looked me in the eye and leaned down to my lips, slowly connecting our lips. I stilled, kissing her back, but not forcing the kiss to go any further, wa
Natalia:My eyes fluttered open when I felt Blake’s scruff brushing my cheek as he kissed me.His finger ran over my arm as he kept his arm wrapped around me, and I couldn’t help but feel sore and tired. I knew that my body would be a little bruised considering the fact that he had to hold me in place, his tight grip on my waist would have left a mark as we both reached our climaxes, and I won’t mention the scratch marks which were probably on his back. The memory of him biting my neck, claiming me last night, marking me as his own was still fresh in my mind, and I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my lips despite my closed eyes. Chuckling, Blake connected his lips with my own in a gentle, loving kiss, one which I smiled into. I opened my eyes when he pulled away and ran my finger over his jawline as he hovered my body, holding me in his arms. The idea of him accepting me as both his mate and wife was something that I never thought I would reach after everything I learned about
Blake:“Where do you think you’re going?” I asked Natalia who laughed as I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her to my chest. “I have work to take care of, and being on honeymoon wouldn’t get it done. Plus, you should be getting ready for work too, Mr. Knight” she teased, turning around in my arms and tapping my chest. She was wearing her jacket as she checked how she looked in the mirror.She wore a pair of black pants and a white shirt, her jacket was to match her pants. However, she quickly decided against it, hanging it on the hanger and back inside the closet “I’ll see you later today at the meeting, okay?” “Alright, princess, take care of yourself and be sure to text me” I said cupping her cheeks. I kissed her bottom lip, biting on it gently as I did before pulling away to look her in the eye “I love you”“I love you too” Natalia smiled. I watched as she walked out of the room, listening to her steps as she walked out of the house to call Ryan. I knew that she was aware that
Natalia:I frowned in confusion at the heavy feeling that suddenly settled in my chest.My heart ached and for a second, it felt like it was being squeezed. My hands shook as I tried focusing on breathing calmly, my heart racing with each step I took to the meeting room to find my investors waiting for me.I had to fight back my shocked expression as I couldn’t find Blake anywhere, and seeming to understand my confusion, my secretary, Kylie, shook her head, letting me know that he wasn’t here yet. I sat on my chair, his chair left empty as I waited for the investors to start their representations. The door to the meeting opened, revealing Blake who smiled when he saw me. His eyes were cold and void of emotion, and I could swear that he let out a breath of relief upon seeing me “sorry for being late, I got caught in a little traffic” I could tell that he was lying, his eyes spoke what his mouth couldn’t, and seeing as he wasn’t looking at me; I knew that something was wrong. I stood
Blake:I ran my finger over my wife’s fingers as I waited for her response, and though I already knew my answers, I wanted her to voice them out. Her speaking would make this a lot easier on her, and judging by the fact that she knew that I was aware of things, it would just make it easier on her. But there was a weight that she was carrying that I no longer wanted her to hold on her own.“I want to hear you out, Nat. I know that I could easily hear your thoughts, but I want you to speak through this, I want you to let the pain out to me”She looked down at her lap as the two of us sat on our bed. Her hands shook as she debated on whether or not to speak, but I didn’t want her being afraid of me. I wanted her to be able to speak her mind up to me, not keep things inside her.“My grandfather is the grand element manipulator” she said avoiding my eyes “I need to go there to learn how to control my powers, learn how to use them, and he’s the one person who can help me. Otherwise…”“First
Natalia:I stared at the man who smiled at me, waiting for my reaction. His eyes were mischievous, devious, and if I wasn’t mistaken, even angry.The way he looked at Blake and I only made me regret coming here, mostly because I wasn’t even sure what to expect, but I surely didn’t expect this. The power that I felt radiating from this place made my heart race, and sensing my worry, Blake let out a low growl, growing protective over his mate.Knowing that we were just attacked by some fireball, I didn’t know what this man could be capable of. Hell, I didn’t trust what he would do, and I didn’t want to think of how he could harm both Blake and I. He looked around the place, waiting for me to acknowledge anything about it, but I couldn’t help but fear getting distracted.“You’re my grandfather?” I asked frowning at his behavior. The man opened his mouth to speak only for a voice to be cleared behind me, distracting us.“Now, now, Alcazar, I told you not to scare my granddaughter. You jus
Blake:I stared at my wife as she got ready. Her body was raging with fire as she stared at the clothes inside our closet.Her eyes avoided mine as she grew angrier with each passing second, and getting into her mind; I knew the reason behind both her anger and her confusion.“Nat, baby girl”“Don’t you, baby girl, me” Natalia said, stopping me. I laughed, shaking my head and wrapping my arms around her, stopping her from getting dressed. She wore black pants and her red lace bra as she searched for a loose top to wear, but I was more focused on the fact of wanting to hold her in my arms for a while, wanting her to calm down “you brought a bloody damn dragon to our bedroom, a man almost set the two of us on fire, claiming to be my grandfather only for another man to say that he was only ‘pretending’. What the bloody…?”“Okay…” I kissed her bare shoulder, stopping her from her wild rant, leaving wet kisses all the way up to her neck making her sigh as I reached her sweet spot. Slowly b
