The morning came before Onyx realized it, and after getting dressed, he was on his way to his corporate office in the city."Did you get a word from Captain Jade?" Onyx inquired as he entered his office, Lilian following behind."No, sir, but the mail included the address and time, so even if she doesn't respond, she may come to visit." She informed, and Onyx nodded as he sat down on his plush chair."What needs to be done today?" He inquired as Lilian walked him through his schedule for the day. Lilian afterward left, and Onyx dived into work. But all the while, the thought of Ophelia swirled in his mind. He found out she was fired for unexplained reasons, and she was indeed responsible for the CHRO's broken nose. But he believes she wasn't fired for assaulting the CHRO but she assaulted the CHRO for firing her. He wanted to know more about the incident, but first, he needed Ophelia to work as his private pilot.When the intercom rang, Onyx was pulled out of his thoughts. He picked i
"Mason! It's been a while, my friend." The man, who appeared to be in his mid-fifties, approached him with wide arms and a bright smile."Gerbert!" (Jer-bare)Gerbert ushered Mason towards the couch after they exchanged a pound hug."How is your health now?""Fit as a fiddle!" Mason proudly said and Gerbert chuckled."I had a last-minute meeting to attend, hence you had to wait. I apologize." As they sat down, Gerbert apologized."I understand, my friend. I appreciate you taking time out of your hectic schedule to see me.""I owe you so much, Mason, how could I not when you needed my help?" Gerbert said sincerely, and Mason smiled gratefully at him."How about a cup of tea?" Gerbert asked pouring some freshly brewed tea in a cup and Mason nodded, "Thank you.""Four spoons of sugar as always?" Mason panicked as Gerbert asked, picking up a spoonful of sugar."No! No sugar! Ophelia is going to murder me if she finds out I had so much sugar!" Gerbert chuckled as Mason exclaimed."I believ
"I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible." Mason chuckled,"I'm sorry I can't come to see you off at the airport." Gerbert apologized and Mason dismissed it."There's nothing to worry about. I hope to see you soon.""Hopefully you will." As Mason got into the waiting car, they said their goodbyes. Gerbert's driver dropped off Mason at the airport, and he was soon on his way back to California."Dad! You are back!" As Mason entered their home in the morning, Ophelia cheerfully hugged him."How are you holding up, little dove?" He inquired in a rich voice, as he placed his suitcase on the floor and sat down on the couch."I suppose everything is OK at work. I mean, I know I didn't make any mistakes?" She inquired, and Mason laughed."I'm sure you didn't.""How did things turn out?" Mason sighed, losing his tie, as Ophelia eagerly inquired."He agreed to invest, and we devised some business concepts. He will be paying us a visit soon." Mason chose not to tell her everything right
"You are fired.""What! You can't do that!" The man yelled and raised his brow in question."I signed a contract, and you can't fire me until it expires!" He attempted to be smug, but Onyx could see right through his ruse. The corner of his mouth twisted upward, forming a smirk."You work in my company, steal from it, recommend my clients to competing companies, and sell my company's trade secrets to my rivals. Give me a good reason why you shouldn't be behind bars!""Because you lack proof, whereas I have my employment contract." He said confidently as Onyx's brows twist upward as he leans back in his plush chair."You have no idea what's going on, do you, Mr. Connor?" Onyx inquires as he notices Connor stiffen visibly in front of him.He took a document from the bottom drawer of his table. With the document in hand, Onyx rose from his chair and moved in front of him, leaning against the mahogany table."Clause 6 of the employment contract states that if you are disloyal to me or my
Her body grinded sensually against him as their bodies swayed to the beat. His hands wrapped around her waist as he drew her closer. His hand swept her raven hair away, revealing her neck to him. As she threw her hand back on his shoulder, his fingers teased her bare skin. His other hand fiddled with the hem of her dress, his fingers gliding up her inner thigh. She didn't protest and they both knew what they wanted.--He yawned as he made a left turn, his gaze drawn to the disheveled girl chewing her nail anxiously beside him on the car seat and he sighed in frustration. You might wonder how they got to be this way. Let us revert back to the perfect morning when the colors of the world bloom anew in the early morning as if each is a tiny flower reborn. As the sun's soft rays tickle her skin, she opens her eyes to reveal the glorious face of the man she shared the bed with the night before. What a ride it had been, a night she would never forget. His eyes fluttered open and a smirk c
“Wëllkomm, Papp.” Gerbert stepped out of the car in the hotel foyer, Onyx welcomed him with a polite bow. (Welcome, Father.)"Gutt dech ze gesinn, Jong." Gerbert said as they hugged. (Good to see you, son,)"Selwecht hei, Papp. Komm mir ginn dobannen." Onyx led Gerbert to his penthouse at the top of the opulent building. (Same here, Father. Let's go inside.)Onyx and Gerbert sat down in Onyx's office after some refreshments."Father, I went over everything regarding the company. And I don't think it's wise to invest such a significant sum of money there." Onyx remarked this while clasping his hands on the top of the wooden table."It might not be, but I'm going to invest regardless. I would perhaps invest more in the future." Gerbert stated solemnly,"Of course, you can, If the company survives that is.""Anyhow, this is not why I came to see you." Gerbert began speaking as he rose from his chair. "You will accompany me to the meeting tomorrow. I can handle everything on my own, but y
"Marriage? To a man w*hore like him?" Everyone's eyes widened as she exclaimed, pointing at Onyx."I'd rather marry a log than marry him." She spat, and Onyx exclaimed, "Ouch. That hurt.""I have made up my mind, Father," Onyx said as he stepped closer to where Ophelia stood. He smiled, and Ophelia's head snapped towards him, her eyes narrowed."I want to marry her. When will the wedding take place?" Ophelia sneered as Onyx said this."This is a joke right?" Ophelia inquired, looking at Mason, and everyone's eyes were drawn to him."You didn't tell her?" Gerbert inquired, and Mason nervously laughed."Well no worries, now you know. Let's go on a date shall we, meng Léift? We also need to discuss about our wedding ceremony. Your dress, my tuxedo, and the decorations. But first, we must plan the engagement ceremony." Onyx smirked as he stared down at her. (My love.)"You-" When she felt her father's gaze on her, Ophelia stopped in her sentence. When she glanced at him, she saw despair i
"You scumbag!" Ophelia roared anger, and Owen's expression looked horrified. He was peering out of the slightly opened door, but as Ophelia yelled, his hand let go of the door and his half-naked self emerged. When she saw him standing before her in nothing but a boxer, Ophelia's face contorted with disgust."Ophelia, how are you here?" Owen stuttered like a fool, and Ophelia's scowl deepened."You're asking me that? Don't you feel a tiny little bit of shame? You're standing half naked in front of me, with another girl in your bed, and you're asking me why I'm here!""Ophelia I-I can explain!" Owen pleaded frantically, and Ophelia scoffed."Why does everyone pretend to be able to explain? What else is there to explain! You made out with some other girl in your car! You brought her home and were f*ucking her! I caught you in the act, and you're going to explain it! What are you gonna explain Owen? Please tell me! What are you going to say? That you were performing CPR on her in your car
Judith groaned as she moved her body for the hundredth time trying to get into a comfortable position to sleep. She turned to her right, then groaned and turned to her left. Unable to get comfortable, she lay flat on her back."Can't fall asleep, love?" Drazhan asked in a raspy sleepy voice as he nudged closer to her and rested his large palm on her swollen belly. His palm softly caressed her belly and Judith sighed."I can't get comfortable." She whined and Drazhan kissed her temple."Want me to fetch some more pillow?" He asked and Judith looked around her. There were two pillows under her head, one on her right, one on her left and a few under her legs. She sighed and shook her head. Drazhan pulled his body up and rested his weight on his elbow and looked at her."Can I do anything?" He asked and Judith looked up at him."Take him out of me. He's been way too active for the past week. Always moving around, kicking the crap out of me." Judith whined and Drazhan chuckled."How do you
"What are you looking at? Eat up." Onyx said sharply, and Ophelia sighed as she took a mouthful of mixed vegetables. He sliced up another slice of beef and lifted it in front of her lips while she chewed slowly. Ophelia shook her head and grumbled."You better eat up or I'll spank you!" Onyx threatened and she poked her tongue out."I'll rather accept that than eat another bite of that!" She remarked this while pointing to the plate. Onyx shook his head and sighed."You'll be hungry as soon as we get there." He replied, and she averted her eyes."I won't and I'll be carrying some snacks with me." Onyx gave up after hearing Ophelia's triumphant words. He rose up and put the food away. He extended his hand and assisted Ophelia in getting up. Ophelia clutched his hand with one of her hands while the other rested protectively on her swollen pregnant belly. Onyx escorted her to their bedroom and seated her on the bed."Wait a minute; I'll be right back with your dress." Ophelia rolled her
"Repeat those words again, Ophelia! I dare you!" He snarled."I will find someone else to appease my needs. You could stay here and jerk yourself or bring Ivy with you.""Have I ever said anything like that to you? Have you ever heard me utter such words to you with such blunt disrespect!" He snarled, and she glanced down, unable to bear the heat of the scorching browns."Answer me!""I would like to leave!"“This is the last time I’m warning you, Ophelia. Never come back here.” He said as he withdrew himself. He turned on his feet without another glance.“Why is it that I am the one who loves you more? Why is it that I am the one who has to wait for you, yearn for you? Why is it that you don’t love me the way I love you?” She asked in a dejected voice, tears slowly streaming down her face.“I did this because I love you. I did this to protect you.”“No! You are lying! You find it so effortless to just abandon me! You do not need my love! He deserves it!”“Whom?” He asked with wide ey
Passing wolves bowed their heads, smiled, and showed their respects as they headed to the infirmary. They know who Ophelia is and what she is going through, and they have gradually warmed up to her over the last month. Ophelia smiled at them as she and Cressida proceeded down the corridor to the healer.Cressida knocked on the door, and the healer opened it instantly. With a respectful bow, she opened the door and invited them inside."Ech hunn dës aus der Emgéigend Mënsch Stad, Luna Cressida." As she handed Cressida a small pouch, the healer stated. (I brought these from the nearby human town, Luna Cressida.)"Merci, Bessie," Cressida said as she took the pouch and turned towards Ophelia. (Thank you, Bessie.)"Take this inside. Use them and bring them to me. I'll be waiting for you right here." Cressida stated with a loving smile as she handed the pouch to Ophelia. With slightly trembling hands, she accepted it and proceeded to the restroom.Ophelia closed the door shut and tore the
"Are they not made properly to your taste?" She asked, even though knew she was losing her appetite slowly."They are delicious. But I'm full." Ophelia kindly said."I can make you something else. What are you craving, sweetheart?" Cressida asked as she walked closer to her."I'm craving for him." She said and Cressida let out a low sigh."He is doing this to protect you, dear.""This is where the misunderstanding is beginning. His beast didn't try to harm me. He merely tried to mark me as his. He was afraid that Onyx would regain control before he had his rightful portion of my flesh." Ophelia informed and Cressida frowned."It is unusual that the beast is chasing after the human part of their mate. This has never happened before.""That is something I have thought about a lot actually. I questioned and searched for an answer. And I did find one. Onyx's beast cherishes me, mom.""How do you know that?""I can feel him now. He meant no harm and this distance Onyx is putting between us
As the voices surrounding her yelled for her not to close her eyes, her heart felt heavy and burning with anguish. His agonizing cries ripped her heart as she battled for her life. He screamed and sobbed in misery as if he had been injured. She felt as if her body was being lifted and taken somewhere. She could scarcely speak, but every word she managed to utter was his name. She was frightened. Not because she was afraid of losing her life, but because she was afraid it would be the last time she saw him. The hands pressing down on her neck wound had departed, and the healer was preparing to care for her.When the healer touched something on her raw wound, she let out an ear-splitting cry. Each time she cried, sobbed, he felt it too. He was living every bit of the misery and pain she was going through. She wished he was at her side, but his urge to protect her was always stronger than anything else. And when she awoke two days later, he was gone.When she opened her eyes, Cressida wa
Cressida approached Ophelia, who was seething. She gently drew her close, her arm over Ophelia's shoulder."They've done a lot of damage to you, Ophelia. He simply does not want you to be anywhere near them because he is afraid, they may harm you again. We all know they can't, but he's simply scared." Cressida said, and Ophelia nodded."Mom, I understand. But I just wanted to know something." Cressida squeezed Ophelia's shoulder as she whispered with an underlying coldness."I have made your favourite Maple-pecan shortbread. Let's go." Cressida smiled, and Ophelia's face brightened up. They walked towards the kitchen, gossiping between themselves. Ophelia had grown close to Cressida, and she treated and looked after her as if she were her own daughter. Ophelia was glad to finally have a mother figure.Ophelia's mind was muddled with thoughts of what Onyx was doing while she munched on the shortbread. They had been looking for Leona and Abilene since the night Abilene kidnapped her. De
She took his head into her mouth and twirled her lips and tongue around it, small shudders ran through his body as the ache between her legs began to increase."I don't like being teased, Ophelia." He growled and combed his fingers through her hair before taking a fistful and forcing himself to the back of her throat. He filled her throat, stretching it as she gripped both of her hands on his muscular thighs. The warm water from the shower continued to cascade over their bare bodies. As he began to build up his pace, he gently pushed his hips towards and away from her face, his cock sliding between her lips. "Goddess Ophelia!" he moaned as she sucked him farther.The need to be filled again got stronger, and as if sensing it, he whispered softly, "I want you to touch yourself every time you're on your knees for me." As one of her hands touched her wet folds, a chill ran down her spine. The contact of her own fingers pushed her to the edge, "Don't cum unless I tell you to." He gave the
Ophelia winced as she drew up his bulky arm and climbed out of bed. Onyx's sleeping face contoured with displeasure and she replaced her place with her pillow. She moved to the bathroom on her tiptoe, winching from the soreness on her way. She turned on the shower and sighed as the warm water poured down her aching body. Ophelia took the soap from the stand and applied it to her entire body. When her fingers touched his mark on her neck, she winced slightly and a delicious shudder ran down her spine. Ophelia smiled to herself as she reflected on the previous few weeks. The last few weeks have been incredible. Their relationship flourished, he moved to Dubai temporarily for her, and the love had only grown to be more deep. Onyx was becoming increasingly protective of her, and every chance he got, he showered her with his unconditional, never-ending love. He didn't leave any stone unturned in fulfilling her every desire and need. He was spoiling her rotten, and she could only imagine wh
