Christos.“It’s a pleasure to meet you, doctor.” Becca Summer murmured softly and I rolled my eyes.“Considering we are here because of your health, I don’t think there is anything pleasurable about it, Miss Summer.” I murmured enigmatically and I could see the look of identical surprise they both gave me.‘Acting like twins already. Ain’t you?’ I thought to myself in annoyance. Which annoyed the hell out of my wolf and me.‘Can you get this done already? Else I will forget he is an old friend.’ Lightning snapped and I agreed with him totally.“Shall we move to why we are here, doctor?” I reminded him pointedly and a tiny wave of embarrassment came to his cheeks. Now we are talking!“Yes, sure Mr. Fernandez. If you will come with me to the office?” He offered softly with an attempt to usher the patient ahead of him so they can walk side by side, maybe.“After you, doctor.” I offered with an innocent smile while making sure my hand did not leave my woman’s back.Seeing that I had no in
Christos. After a brief thoughtful silence, she raised her head to look at me. “That I need you to give me some space and time. Time to process all these and re-assess.” She finished with a weary sigh and I was silent for several seconds. “Time? Okay, time I can spare, but space? I don’t think that is a good idea, my lady. I will give you all the time you need to come to the realization that this thing between us is not about to go away, but don’t think I would go away to hide while you do all these thinking alone. I don’t intend to stay in the shadows.” I warned in advance and she gave me a surprised look. “I can’t think, if you are always in my space, Christos.” She pointed out. “Well, you will just have to find a way to deal with it. I won’t stay away from you but I promise not to force myself on you while you take your time to reach a decision. I can’t promise not to touch you though if you give me the green light.” I reasoned calmly with a wide grin and she rolled her eyes t
Becca.He had been so clear in his attitudes at the hospital, it had soon occurred to the interested doctor that I was not just a usual employee to the powerful Christos Fernandez but something more and I had felt so dismayed when I saw the disappointed look in his eyes. As if he had thought a girl like me wouldn't be so stupid as to fall for my boss.Of course, Christos noticed the look also and the silent hand he placed on my shoulder was another warning to the doctor to back off and just do his damn job. Sure enough, the man needed no prompting after that. Seeing that I was not available as he had earlier thought soon dispelled his interest and he focused on the job at hand.So professional he was that even when that arrogant boss of mine made it clear I would only be taking an injection under a woman’s care, he had simply nodded without a blink from him. Of course my reaction was different, I had blinked so severely at his rude behaviour, I could not hide my disbelief. Even now,
Becca.Definitely not expecting me to show up this way. Good! Better to take them unawares. That way, I will be in charge.“Wow, you finally showed up willingly, Mum. Does that mean you no longer like Uncle Christos?” My son breathed out softly in the quietness of the room and I sighed.‘Maybe not fully in charge as I thought.’ I adjusted my earlier statement, knowing with these kids of mine, anything should be expected.“I don’t understand your meaning, Son.” I pretended ignorance as I made sure to pick a chair that was a little away from the magnetic man whose presence was already causing havoc to my system.“Your kids are of the opinion that you are hiding in your room because of me. They are certain you like me but you are too shy to confront this wonderful emotion.” The kids might not pick up on the fire in those eyes as he happily revealed his discussion with my children but I did and the gasp from me was a testament to it.I could not believe his audacity. The last thing I expe
Becca.Wondering if coming down here was not a mistake actually, I asked myself how I was expected to concentrate on anything with him looking as hot and enticing as a chilled drink on a hot afternoon.As if he could read my mind, the man chose that moment to casually remove his jacket, therefore revealing the smoothness of his chest with that creamy shirt that’s unbuttoned at the throat and I felt a sexual dizziness that was so unexpected, I could not keep a little groan from my lips. Of course they all heard it and before I knew it, they were all at my side, rallying up to carry me if necessary. It was so weird, it was almost hilarious.“Is everything alright? Are you feeling sick right now?” I could hear and feel the waves of concern coming from him and I felt better for it. ‘He cares! He really cares about my wellbeing!’ My heart kept singing joyously and I did not know how to feel. Christos Fernandez really cares about me. It is not just about sex for him. How odd and scary is
Christos.I feel restless and disturbed and this time around, there is no wondering what the cause is. I know where my disturbance stems from.Ever since that memorable night with Becca Summer and the realization that she is my human mate, there has been some restlessness between me and my wolf, but this time around, it is about something else entirely.Having spent the past few days almost in her house, which of course had been a curse between happiness and sadness due to her notable absence, I had resigned myself to the fact that she might never acknowledge my presence in her home and Lightning and I had become more determined to win her over.How we intend to do that, we don’t know, considering the lady insisted on absenting herself from our presence. It was only the knowledge that she can’t hide forever and will have to resume work sooner than later that got us going without tearing the whole house down in search of her.It was on one of my solitary visits to her home that I gaine
Christos.There was total silence in the room as each of us got carried away in our thoughts. For me, I am sure my thoughts were much heavier than the kids. After all, they had had several years to adjust to these situations whereas I just found my mate and here I am, hearing news about a man I had thought was long gone from her life.A wedding plan that was ruined by an accident and loss of memory means it is not one that died naturally. It means that…wait, it means what exactly?That If she recovers her memories today, she will realise she is still in love with the man and go back to him regardless? Considering he is the father of her kids?Or does it mean, there is a man out there still searching for the fiancée he suddenly got disconnected from?What if that man is here in Canada and even now, fate is working on how to reconnect them again? Then what exactly will be my fate and that of my wolf?Unable to accept these thoughts, I rose to my feet unsteadily, pacing back and forth in
Christos.That night, sleeping was out of it and I did not make any attempt to even go close to the bed. Nurturing my glass of whiskey, I stared pensively into space while ignoring my heavy heart.It was a long time before I realised I was no longer alone. Looking to my left hand side, I saw not just my Beta, Gamma and Delta watching me, but to my surprise my fourth and fifth soldiers were also present.Knowing full well that I was not ready to share my thoughts, I glanced away after a brief connecting flash at them.My wolf was still not talking and that’s adding to my heartache. I could feel his presence somewhere back there but he’s not willing or able to come close and share my sorrow with me.Unable to contain a feeling of betrayal, I sipped at my whiskey, knowing I was not totally surprised to see my men around me. They are never far from me even in the human world and they always know when I am not in the best of mood.This time is no different and during the moment of brief ac
