Chapter 48 - Mason
I was still in utter shock at Elizabeth’s audacity. She posted that photo claiming we were engaged an hour after our altercation at the restaurant, where I told her very clearly we would never be together and that I’m with Adder. So much for enjoying the afterglow of sex and maybe going a second round. Now we are sitting in my family’s living room, or rather she and Gabby are sitting while I’m pacing with my phone to my ear.
“No, father. I am not engaged least of all to that social climbing little shit.” I sighed, repeating myself for what felt like the millionth time since my dad called me. “Then you better start explaining. We received a phone call from the Duckworth-Chads wanting to set a date for a formal engagement party, wanting to schedule photos for an engagement announcement, and then talk dates for the wedding.” dad growled.

I’d already assumed having a relationship with Mason would have obstacles. We are from two very different worlds. And the people in his world look down on people like me. Even if I weren’t obviously a meta-human, they’d look down on me for having been in an orphanage and then living on the streets. To them, I was scum.But I don’t care what any of them think. They can all collectively go fuck themselves. The only person whose opinion matters is Mason’s. Just like he told his father, we filed the necessary paperwork with the company disclosing our relationship so that no one could cry foul.We even managed to close on the flat, and till the renovations were finished, we were staying at his family’s London house. Today was our first day at the office. I’d had to buy new clothes for this job since apparently ac

Here I’d been hoping to have a nice quiet first day in the office. Even though I’ve been finding it hard to be focused with Adder walking around wearing that suit, then again, I’d be distracted by her no matter what she’s wearing. It’s like someone flipped a switch in my head after I kissed her and confessed my feelings for her because now I can’t even pretend she’s just a friend.I should have known that I wouldn’t get a quiet day. All hope of that was ruined when James and Laura Duckworth-Chad forced their way into my office. I’d wanted to avoid ever having them in the same room as Adder. They aren’t fit to be near her. I wanted to such the air from their lungs for how they were speaking to her.But I didn’t because I can’t fight this battle for her. And well, my pet was doing quite
His Pet Chapter 51 - Adder
Why did I agree to escort these stupid fucks out again? Oh, right, because I don’t trust that fat fuck guard. At least the lift ride to the lobby was entertaining. They were fighting like cats and dogs. James demanded to know who Laura was cheating on him with, and Laura denied it. It was very entertaining. I don’t know for sure if James was my sperm donor. Yes, that's what I’m going to refer to him as going forward. And Laura is the egg donor. I don’t want to give them titles that indicate any real kinship between them and I. “Lobby. Everyone out.” I hissed and shoved them out of the lift. “Get your hands off me!” Laura shouted. I rolled my eyes and kept prodding the pair forward. “I don’t give a fuck. Now move. I nodded at the three receptionists at the front desk who were looking at the scene before them wide-eyed. Two of the guards were also watching from

There are only a few members of the board that I can stomach. And that number went down as some I’d liked before got behind Clark Scrivens. And what’s worse is he’s not even the head of the board. No, Ronald Marsden just remained silent for all that. And that’s put him on my shit list too. Anyone with a problem with Adder has a problem with me.Adder was, of course, fantastic, even if a little crass as she put them all in their place. They underestimated her, and that’s something you never do. I know Adder took coming to work here seriously. She takes her job as my bodyguard seriously too. Fuck she’s taken that job seriously since we met, and she wasn’t even getting paid for it.So now I have sixty days to close this big deal and prove that being CEO of my family’s company isn’t just my right as the heir but
His Pet Chapter 53 - Adder
The last few weeks have been a blur of activity. We’ve finally moved into our own flat. Thank fuck for that. The tension any time I crossed paths with his father at their London home was getting to me. And as much as I’d like to say we’ve christened every surface in the flat since moving in, we haven’t. Just the bed and that fantastic shower.We both have been too busy with work for much more. Mason is all in on proving to those old bastards on the board that this is his company, and he’s the only one who can run it. If he’s not been in a meeting or a call, he’s been on his computer getting presentations ready and preparing for our trip to New Delhi.Sealing the deal with this Khumar fella is what will shut those old men up and hopefully put them on their asses. And because I trust those wankers as far as I

I know I threw her for a loop with that statement. But it’s true. I plan to marry this woman. Fuck I even have the ring hidden back at the flat. I’m just waiting for the right moment. I’d considered bringing the ring here on the trip, but I didn’t want to risk losing it or her finding it in my luggage.And we’ve only been dating for a couple of months. For me, that’s a long relationship, but mostly because I don’t get into committed relationships. Plus, while we’ve only been a couple for a few months now, we’ve known each other for years and lived together. So we already know we cohabitate well.Since becoming a couple, the only adjustments we’ve had to make are now we share a bed, and we share rather than waiting for the other to finish their shower. And while you’d think sharing a s
His Pet Chapter 55 - Adder
As we walked into the grand hall where Khumar was hosting the party, I felt the odd looks. I don’t know if we are Brits wearing traditional Indian clothes or just that my scales are on full display in this outfit. Either way, it made me uncomfortable. We at least didn’t have to wait long before Khumar spotted us and moved through the crowd with a large smile. “Mason, my friend. And my, I must say our fashion is most flattering on you, Adder.” he greeted. From my peripheral, I could see Mason was wearing his forced polite smile. “Hello, Khumar. Rather over the top event.” Mason greeted, looking around the rather decadent space. I smiled a bit and nodded politely. Over the top was certainly one way of phrasing it. I’d call it a gaudy unnecessary mess personally. “Thank ya, Khumar.” I greeted. “Well, I say go big or go home, Mason. So might I convinc
His Pet Epilogue - Mason
A lot has happened in the last year. Adder and I got engaged and swiftly took down most of the members of the board of directors. Adder hadn’t been kidding when she said she had jail-worthy dirt on some of these men. I still look back on that meeting and smile.We’d called them all in for a meeting bright and early the morning after we returned from New Delhi. Adder was in high spirits when we walked into the office holding hands with her engagement ring on full display. I know it caught the girls' eye working reception, and they’d be whispering about it the rest of the day till the whole office knew.We went to my office first and made the board wait thirty minutes cause, as Adder said, ‘fuck them.’ They eventually got impatient and pestered Deborah demanding to know when I would be arriving for the meeting I called. We fina
