LUCIANBlair looks at me. Her lips part like she is about to speak but she changes her mind and presses her lips into a thin line instead.“Okay…” I drew the word out, not sure why I started speaking.But I’m never sure of anything I do when I’m around her.She squints, her lips twisting into a cute frown as she has a mental battle. If she should acknowledge me or go ahead and do what she wants.“Your next doctor’s appointment is a week from now.”I knew I was stooping low by using our child to get her attention. But what can I do? It is all she is offering me.She doesn’t fall for the bait. My heart gave a tug, like something hard was tied around me. A tiny fist squeezing the organ for all its worth.I only had two options then. To stay and succumb myself to this endless pain, or get up and get the hell out of here with my sanity still intact.My wolf growls in my head, of course not liking that option. I feel him push to the forefront of my mind, wanting to take control. He believes
BLAIRI got up to leave a few minutes after Lucian left. With him gone, the place seemed too quiet. Too lonely and I have already had enough of solitude.I went back to my room and kept my tab there. I met Jaya on the way and she shot me a smile, then she asked if I was good. I nodded in the affirmative and continued my journey. I’m pretty sure I left her a bit speechless.I couldn’t explain, I felt a burst of energy just now and I wanted to expel it. I’ve lazed around for too long.My body needed a workout. Something I haven’t done in a while. And I know they have a gym here. The day I’d met Lucian’s brother, he looked like he was coming from there.For now, I have another idea. I can go to the gym another time. Instead of heading to the kitchen to get something to eat for a refill. I found myself walking towards Lucian’s office.I remembered the way from that dinner. On the God forsaken night I realized nothing is alright about this place.Do I know what I’m going to do in his offic
LUCIANI hadn’t heard when she walked in. But my wolf was on high alert and in control.The smell of her arousal betrayed her dirty thoughts. It didn’t push me awake, thinking I was just imagining it. I wish I could say I was ashamed to admit I have thought of that quite a lot. Never did I think it would be a reality.I hoped for it. Yes.My wolf was having the time of his life. Basking in the attrition Blair was showering him, even if she didn’t know she was doing it.What started stirring me awake was her scent getting headier. Stronger as she moved close to me. I didn’t know what I expected her to do but she barely even touched me. She started moving back, then she paused and reached for my phone.He must have decided the mouse and cat game was enough. He reached out and grabbed her hand. That was what spurred me fully awake. Only to find that he has pushed me to the back of my own head and he is now in control.Shit. This couldn’t be happening.“Hand in the cookie pot?”The famili
BLAIRWas I crazy for letting him kiss me? Yes.Did I feel crazy for doing that? Also yes.And will I do it again if given the option? Yes. Yes and yes.I don’t know what came over Lucian but he wasn’t acting like this usual self. There was a stronger aura, some kind of force behind him after he woke up. And while I should have run for my life when I saw how dark this eyes had looked. I found myself wanting to know why that was.So as you can guess, curiosity won and I stayed back.Only, the answer that I managed to get from that was. The reality was far better than my imaginations.Lips locking. Teeth nibbling and biting. Hands, grasping, groping any piece of flesh it could find. He’d roughly asked me.“Couch or desk?”His lips returned to mine, rough and hungry. His kisses were feral. Like he couldn’t get enough. Like the next lip lock between me and him was the breath of fresh air he needed to remain alive. And I very well couldn’t be the cause of the death of a man.I wouldn’t be
LUCIAN“You seem distracted.”Owen pats my back, walking around the bench in the gym to sit beside me. I barely looked at him, my attention not in the room I was in.“Damn. What are you thinking about?” He gives my shoulders a rough shake.Rough enough to wake a damn whale from hibernation. I turned to glare at him. He raises his hands up in surrender, not looking sorry in the least.“What?” I grit out.“What, what?” He asks, stressing the second word.“You’re getting on my nerves. What do you want?” I growled in annoyance. He was more than getting on my nerves.While I’m aware my anger has nothing to do with him. I was just generally pissed off.“Tell me what is wrong.” Owen of course, urged. Never taking the hint or reading the room. “Is it the baby?”I turned, ready to snap at him. But then I saw the worried look in his eyes.I shouldn’t be a dick to him when he is just being nice and being worried about Blair and the baby. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.“She is fine. The
BLAIRI was on the phone with Sasha. Who was going off about all the preparation she was making for school, when I heard a knock on the door.“Give me a sec,” I told her as I stood up and headed to open it.I forgot to open the door after Jaya left. I have been closing it for the past three days. Since after what happened in Lucian’s office.I have tried this before and it didn’t work, but now I’m going to make sure it works. Which is why I’ve been trying to desensitize myself against Lucian and anything related to him. You may think I should be doing this by working closely with him, to be sure I won’t fall for him again.Self reflection and admittance made me accept, I can’t do that. I lose all my senses and control when he is near. I’ll do this from afar and just hope he stays away from me forever.It isn’t a solid plan, but it is all I have right now.When I pulled the door open, I wasn’t expecting the last person I wanted to see to be standing right outside. I thought Jaya said s
BLAIR“Honeymoon?” I urged my voice to come out calm and Lucian nodded, affirming what I heard.There had to be some kind of language barrier because why would he suggest that.“Why?” I blurt out without thinking.He knows this marriage is just on paper. Okay, maybe not entirely but we don’t like each other.I always thought a honeymoon was something people who were actually in love and happy to be married looked forward to going on. We were always fighting and we didn’t like each other. I can’t stress this enough.Or did I miss something?The thought of this being more than what it seems has my stomach knotting in anxiety. Lucian doesn’t share the same sentiment because he looks as cool as a cucumber.How could one person wreck me with words, without even having to do much and he just sits there. So relaxed while I’m silently going crazy?“Well, it would be more like a babymoon?” He says, sounding as unsure as I was about everything going on with us.He sounds like he is just graspin
BLAIR“I want you to do this, right but are you sure you want to? With him?” Mikayla asked after we’ve hashed through the plan over and over again.“I’m only going to be married for the first time once. Might as well do it.” I replied with a shrug.She purses her lips thoughtfully before nodding.“I understand,” she says with a small smile. “I know it would be even more amazing than we pictured.”I giggled, looking down at the video I had pulled up on my laptop. She was right, it is going to be the best.“Who would have actually thought you’d be the first one to be married? You were always going on about living life and thoroughly killing your twenties.”I smiled, remembering when I’d made that comment when I turned twenty.Then I never thought I would be here. And if anyone said it to my face, I would have laughed and called them crazy. Then proceed to take them to a psych ward. Heck, even five months ago.How life changes in a very short span was both wonderful and scary.“I know yo
