Cross “You haven’t changed at all.” I let out before I could stop myself. I have noticed some of his old habits that I thought he would have outgrown but he surely never changed. He has always been an over-thinker. Not just an over-thinker, he also doesn’t know how to wait. I can already see him trying to figure out what the council was up to and if they knew or not. I really didn’t want to worry about those things especially now that we have our mate back with us and safe. Plus, we made up. The kiss after will stay with me for a very long time. It was the best kiss of my life. “What do you mean by that?” Lucas asked. I smiled at him. I can’t remember the last time I smiled at him so happily but I feel truly happy right now so yeah, he gets to benefit from my happiness because he was a major part of the reason. If he hadn’t talked me into going to Thalia today, I would have waited until my week to make up with her. “You know the energy you give off right? Especially when
Cross “I think we shouldn’t worry about the council for now. To be honest, it’s not like they can beat us. We are just being careful because we don’t want them to catch us off-guard and not because we are scared of them. They are no match for one of us not to talk of both of us.” I told him after about a minute of complete silence. He looked at me and nodded in agreement. “You are right about them not being a match for us but still, I can’t help but be worried. Like this directly affects us. If we let our guard down and something happens, it will be bad for us and even worse for Thalia and I don’t want anything to hurt her.” He agreed. “She won’t hurt when she is with us. We can protect her. No one stands a chance.” I snickered. “I feel the same too. Wow, we have been agreeing on a lot lately. I think you should leave before we agree too much and start hugging.” I laughed at his joke. He hasn’t changed at all. He still got the joke. I used to think he would end up doing
Thalia “Lia?” I opened my eyes when I heard my name and blinked to clear my eyes. I looked around wondering when I fell asleep and how long I had been sleeping for. The last thing I remember doing was picking up my book to study because I haven’t been doing much of that lately. It’s still the beginning of the semester so I still have a lot of time to catch up. I must have fallen asleep. “Are you awake now? You have been sleeping for hours,” I yawned and stretched. I needed that sleep. I smiled apologetically at Lucas. I didn’t mean to take a nap. It just happened. “You should eat something.” My stomach rumbled as if it heard Lucas’s words. I held my stomach and smiled at him again. The only food I had today was the one Mr. Lim had gotten for me. I played with the food so I didn’t eat much of it. I was too anxious to actually eat. “Yes, please. Feed me.” I told him. He reached for my hand and I gave it to him. He helped me out of my bed and held my hand still as we b
Thalia “Tell me.” His voice sent a jolt of heat through my body and my heart beat rate increased. I swallowed and tried to keep my lips wet. He groaned and lowered his face to my neck. I tilted my head to the side to give him better access. His breath on my neck sent jolts of electric charge through my body. I inhaled deeply as I felt him lick me there. God, I wanted him so much I could die. When he moved his face away from my neck, I almost cried out in protest. I bit down hard on my lips to stop myself and our eyes met, I saw the fire in his eyes. He wanted me just as much as I wanted him. I only noticed his growing erection when he shifted beneath me. I ground my hips on him and he growled lustfully. “Stop doing that.” He warned me again. I smiled slyly, happy that I wasn’t the only one affected, and did it again. He stopped my movement by holding my waist still. “Tell me your expectations,” Oh, we are still doing that? I forgot until he asked again. Fine. I will
Thalia “Is that a good preview of what your expectations were?” I smiled when he asked me the question and nodded. It was more than a good preview. It was beyond words for me. A kiss like that would be perfect for my daily routine. Something to make my legs weak and my brain foggy. “I need words babes, words.” I smiled again. He called me ‘babes’ I can’t remember the last time I was called that and it might be the barest minimum for others but for me, it was too cute and wholesome to not be special. “What if I can’t speak because you kissed all my words away?” I let out. He smirked and cocked his head to the side with a satisfying snugged look that did a lot to enhance his handsome face. “You are good for my ego.” He whispered. I couldn’t stop staring at his lips as he spoke. How can a man be so fucking perfect? “I am just stating facts. If I wasn’t sitting on you, I probably would have collapsed to the ground. That’s how weak-legged your kiss left me.” I told
Thalia “No don’t, I will do it myself.” He let out, stopping me from taking off my clothes by myself after he put me down in his bedroom. I obeyed immediately, my hands falling to my sides. I only tried to take off my clothes myself because I wanted to speed up the process. Who was I kidding, of course, he would want to take control completely. I just have to be patient. The saying goes, good things happen to those who are patient, right? I don’t know if I said it right though. “Why?” I asked when he kept staring at me without doing anything. He smiled. “Nothing, I just like watching you have your conflicted thoughts.” I cocked my head to the side and folded my hands behind my back, the movement making my boobs push forward. The action wasn’t lost to him. His sharp intake of breath told me that he was affected by that small gesture even though it had been unintentional. “Are you going to do that all night?” I let out when he continued watching me. He smiled and pulled me
Thalia “Whoa,” I gasped when I finally fell back to earth enough to be aware of my surroundings again. "Seems like you needed that," He grinned as he hurriedly took off his clothes while I watched hungrily. My body was still humming from my orgasm and I was already wanton for him again. I licked my lips in anticipation when his cock sprang free as he tossed his remaining clothes away. He got on the bed, sliding up alongside me. “Are you ready for me, princess ?” I could only nod as he lowered his mouth over mine. He kissed me hotly, and I could taste myself on him. Somehow it made me even hotter, causing me to whimper, breathlessly, into his mouth. "My turn." I expected him to spread my legs. To just push between them and sink himself deep, all the way to the hilt, burying himself in my sopping wet pussy. Instead, I found Lucas rolling sideways, onto his back. He lifted me by the waist with two strong hands, pulling me onto him, and I helped him by throwing a
Thalia “Yess,” Lucas grunted out as he emptied himself completely inside me and stilled. His hands remained on my ass. Both our breathing labored. He turned with me in his arms and laid us back on the bed. It took a while for our breathing to return to normal and he brushed his lips over mine a few times. “You are beautiful.” I smiled at his choice of words. It was the same words he had told me that day many nights ago when he took me for the first time. “Too beautiful. All mine.” He whispered and kissed me on the lips. I welcomed the warmth of his mouth and kissed him back. The kiss went on and on until I had to tap him. “I need to breathe.” I told him breathlessly. He smiled and kissed the top of my nose before falling back on the bed and growling in satisfaction. I sucked in a much-needed breath and closed my eyes, feeling satisfied and contented. My body hummed in the aftermath of his lovemaking and I couldn’t help the smile that found its way to my face. I l
Thalia He had nothing under the robe and was naked before me once the robe came off. I shamelessly ogled. God! His body was a work of art. I thought Lucas was packed tight and fit. Cross was just out of this world. And the most interesting part of him? His cock, thick and hard. His tip called to me as he reached and stroked himself. I swallowed and filled my eyes with the goodness of what I was about to enjoy until he got back on the bed with me. “Are you ready for me?” His words were more of a growl but I figured them out and nodded. “Yes..” I let out when he lifted his brow. He smirked and pulled me to him. He lifted my legs, lined his throbbing cock with my entrance, and sank into me. I couldn’t stop the loud, not-so-classy moan that escaped from my mouth when I felt him deep inside me again after weeks of wanting him and craving his fullness inside me. He filled me up so well in the way only he could and it felt so familiar. “Ohhh… Yess… fucking finally…” I let out as
Thalia “Cross.” I moaned his name in anticipation as he lifted my shirt to take it up. I raised my hand to aid the movement and soon, my shirt was off, leaving me in just my bra. His mouth closed over mine in a hot passionate kiss that had me breathing his breath and whimpering into his mouth. He kissed me hard and fast and then slowly. He nibbled on my bottom lips, slowly and sensually while his hands traveled my body. Then the kiss went from sensual to him practically eating me up. I had to up my game to match his energy as much as I could. God! He was as hungry for me as I was for him and I could feel it in the way he dragged his hands over my lower body, touching my bare skin with his warm fingers and leaving behind tingles everywhere he touched. I was on fire for him. I wanted him to touch me even more. I wanted to be completely consumed by the fire he started inside me. I didn’t just take; I also gave as much as I could. My finger curled into his hair and I grabbed a fistfu
Thalia “I missed you,” He growled when he pulled away to allow us to breathe after the breathtaking kisses we shared. I liked my slightly swollen lips. I could say the same about him. I missed him so much. I was the one who kissed him again. I kissed him with everything inside me, showing him just how much I missed him with my mouth. When we stopped kissing again, we stared at each other longingly. “God, Cross! I missed you so much! It doesn’t feel like it has only been a few days. It feels like we have been apart for so long.” I told him sincerely. I wanted to kiss him more. I wanted to get naked with him already and get to know him again in the most intimate way. It has been weeks since I last felt him inside me and the memories of that night were starting to fade away. I needed a redo to remind me of just how good it had been between us. “I missed you too, my darling. So much. I can’t believe I wasted our week together. I was such a fool.” I couldn’t disagree. It w
Thalia “It’s really you?” I asked even as I held him, his arms wrapped around my waist. I talked his shoulder and he let me go. I put a small distance between us, wondering if I was really seeing him. “Baby?” He called out. It didn’t look like a dream. It clearly wasn’t a dream! “Cross!” I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was here. He was really here. I thought I was dreaming when I saw him for the first time. I walked in and busied myself taking off my shoes first so that I could get comfortable enough to look around for the surprise Lucas had talked about. I didn’t even notice him until he whispered something and I looked up to see him standing there, it felt like a dream. I thought I had fallen somewhere, lost consciousness, and started dreaming. He was really here. “Hey baby, you are finally here! Surprise!” He said again and spread his arms out. The first time he said it, it didn’t click that he was the surprise that Lucas had talked about. He said it again and s
Cross “What’s taking him so long? Did he ditch me?” I grumbled impatiently and checked the time again. It was almost eight pm and still no sight of my mate and the fucker who went to get her. It shouldn’t take so long to bring her to me. We had an agreement. “The fucker!” I complained. I hope I didn’t drive all the way down here and did nothing. I dropped a meeting that I was supposed to hold to come here. I missed my mate so much and wanted to see her so badly that I didn’t think twice about postponing the meeting after I got him to agree to let me come over. I drove miles and hours to get here. I put my beta in charge of the pack just to come spend the night with my mate. He better not fuck things up. I wanted to call her after I found out from him that he messed up and made her mad but he said it would ruin her surprise so I stayed put. Oh, I gave him a piss of my mind. No way I was going to let him off after he made our mate angry and sad. The other thing he did to
Thalia “What’s the surprise? Tell me please,” I said, pouting my lips in an effort to make him spill the tea but he just laughed and shook his head. I wanted to know and now I wanted us to be at the hotel already so that I could see the surprise. “Patient baby. Good things happen to those who are patient.” He told me and hugged me again. He was right. If only I was patient enough to hear his own side of the story, I wouldn’t have almost ruined our relationship again. I need to learn to trust him and believe in what we have. The girls believed in him more than I did. I should thank them for talking me into coming to see him if not, I would have spent the night in misery all because of lies that Mariah made up. “I can’t believe I fell for her lies. I am so sorry, Lucas. I shouldn’t have doubted you.” I told Lucas sincerely. I can’t believe I almost ruined our relationship over a lie. Over some twisted narrative. Mariah might not know the harm she did by twisting what happ
Lucas “It wasn’t a date. I promise. She asked me to take her back to the resort because the bus left without her and she didn’t know her way around.” I explained the first part of what happened and why she even got in my car in the first place. I couldn’t leave her on her own. I genuinely thought that she was stranded and I didn’t want anything to happen to her. I got Thalia’s attention so I went on. “Halfway through the ride, she told me that she hadn’t eaten all day so I stopped at a restaurant and got her food. After that, she told me she got her period and didn’t have a pad with her so I drove to the mall and paid god the things she got. That’s it.” I explained to her. She didn’t look convinced at first but her expression started to change right before my eyes. I waited for her to process the things I told her first before I continued. She opened and closed her mouth multiple times without saying anything and still, I waited. “Did you hug her?” That happened too bu
Lucas “Lucas? Stop the car!” I looked at Thalia and ignored her. I had no intentions of stopping the car until we were out of the resort and somewhere I could park and y’all to her. I can’t believe she thought I went on a date with that Mariah girl. Yes, I did buy her lunch because she kept insisting and then she told me her period started and I had to follow her to the shop where she got pads and other things. I paid for the things ahead bought out of the goodness of my heart but I never thought of it as a date nor did I let her hug me. Thalia found out and got everything wrong. No. I would never take another woman out or think of being with another woman who wasn’t my mate. I hated that she even thought about me cheating on her. Cheating! I don’t cheat! Not even when I dated a lot. I always made sure that I wasn’t seeing two people at once. I have never two-timed or double dates in my whole life, why would I do it now with my mate? The crazy part of everything was th
Thalia “Don’t worry, the glasses are tinted, no one will see you from the outside.” Lucas pointed out. I didn’t look at him. “Don’t start the car.” I let out when he tried to. “Why not? We are leaving.” No, we are not. I am not going back to the hotel with him. not after what I found out about him from Mariah. I felt betrayed. I couldn’t imagine spending the night with him with all the doubts. Yes, he might not have spent the night with her since he was here but it could happen soon. He already took her out on a date. They already shared a hug. Soon, they might be sharing more than a hug. They might be sharing kisses and after that, they might be sharing a bed too. “We are not leaving. I am not spending the night with you.” I let out and spared him a look. He looked confused. “And why not? We spent the night together last night and it was amazing. Why can’t we do the same tonight? You are coming with me and that’s final.” The way he said the last part of his sentence pi
