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
LUCIANWhen Blair walked into my office two days later, I already knew what she was going to say. Call it a hunch, or maybe it was damn obvious. If she wanted to say no, she wouldn’t go through the trouble of coming down here by herself.Since she was still doing everything she could to stay away from me.She looked around the office, her arms wrapped around her with a look I couldn’t place.“Everything okay?” I tried not to sound too excited.Owen has been bugging me to ask her what her reply was. But I told him I wasn’t going to push her. I’ll respect whatever she says. Just like I told her I would. He didn’t like that and I had no idea why he was even so excited. And more nervous too, than I was about this.“Yes, can we talk?” She asked almost hesitantly.I quickly get up from my desk and walk to the couch. Thinking of the last time we were in here together, told me sitting behind the desk wasn’t going to be a good idea. Even if it hid my hard on from her.I suddenly didn’t mind he
BLAIR “Wow.” The loud exhale made me turn around. Lucian was standing at the door, dressed in a tux with his hair gelled back and looking so hot. And the look in his eyes, the way he was watching me like he wanted to ravish me. It made my lower belly pool with desire and I couldn’t wait for us to get back so he could tear this dress off. “I can’t wait either.” He says against my lips. He got close so fast, thanks to his werewolf speed. It really came in handy most of the time. “You look better than the moon and stars, my love.” I had to clench my thighs when he said that. Those were simple words that have been said a million times. But somehow, when Lucian says ‘my love’ it sounds like the best words to have ever been said in the world. Even better than the words of the angels. “If we don’t leave, I’ll probably undress you and have my wicked way with you.” I stared into Lucian’s dark eyes and nodded, agreeing with him. “If we don’t leave. I’ll let you undress me and have your
BLAIRI stared at myself in the mirror, turning from left to right to make sure the dress fit perfectly. Wait, I know the dress fits perfectly. But I wanted to be double sure. Okay, triple sure. Fine, the millionth time sure.Tonight has to be perfect.“B, you look great from all angles.” Mikayla says while chuckling.I startled a little at the voice I wasn’t expecting. I totally forgot I was on a call with her and Sasha and Jaya.“Kayla is right, B.” Jaya is the one that said that. “You’re making me rethink my sexuality right now.”I breathed in and out slowly.“Give me one more twils mama. That ass looking thiccc.” I rolled my eyes at Sasha but did as she said.The girls all hooted and clapped when I did that, which made me laugh. My girls are literally the best hype women out there.“Okay guys, wish me luck.” I said as I went to pick up the tab, I’d positioned it on a shelf where they could see everything I wanted to show them well.“Hope you get laid tonight.” Mikayla says with a
BLAIR“How did you know the walk was going to be short for me?” I asked the girl when we stopped outside a large abandoned looking warehouse. The doors looked like they were once a blue color but now, they were a lot in hues of white dust and dark brown.“Because I made it short of you.” I looked over my shoulder, looking for my dad. He wasn’t close to us. “Don’t worry they’ll be here in a bit. I think there is someone inside you’ll be more interested in seeing.”“Lucian.” I said, huffing out a breath. She nodded and motioned for me to walk ahead of her.The doors opened as soon as I was close enough, thankfully. I didn’t want to touch it even with a ten foot pole.Warmth enveloped me the second I stepped foot inside the building. I didn’t understand how a place that looked like it was going to be cold from outside would be this warm. Then I looked up and it all made sense.There were many girls, similarly dressed to the one that escorted us, sitting in a circle. They all had somethin
BLAIR“You know.” I said to dad. There was no uncertainty in my voice because I knew damn well what I was talking about.I give him credit for not denying as he lifted his head in a nod. My mouth hangs open in shock and I turn in my seat to glare at him.“What?!” The yell slips past my lips before I could control it. “Why didn’t you tell me?”I asked incredulously. I was feeling a tightness in my chest. A feeling I could only describe as betrayal fills me. I couldn’t believe it.Really, who does that? To their own child!“I only found out recently.” Dad said in his defense but that wasn’t a good enough reason. And he knows that too because he adds. “And I know I should have told you, but what difference would it have made? You’re what, seven months along?”He motioned pointedly to my obvious bump. I scoffed, rolling my eyes. I was still upset and I felt betrayed. I would think mum would keep something like this from me, her idea of protection. But dad? He trusts me. He always believes
LUCIANLiquid fire was shooting through my body. Heating my bloodstreams and everything else. Sweat didn’t only form on my forehead and other parts of my body, it dripped. Like water was being rained on me. It drenched me completely.A low growl starts from my chest. In my head it comes out loud and makes the place shake to its foundation. I feel everywhere move, then again, it might be only my body that is moving.It was like something was drained from my head. Traveling through my whole system and leaving through my feet. I’d looked multiple times to see if there was a fucking snake or something. But it is nothing.The only real and physical sign that this is actually happening, is the sweat that has drenched my clothes completely.I’m sure if you strained it, it would pour. I didn’t even know I was capable of producing such an amount of sweat.No matter how hard I worked out, I rarely sweat like this.God, what the hell is she doing to me?“How long do we have to do this?” I asked.
BLAIR“Lucian is fine.” Dad said, squeezing my shoulders gently.Probably for the first time in my life, I doubted him. He looked like he was saying the truth and on any other day I would have believed him. But things aren’t adding up.Lucian went missing and suddenly he is here. From Revdville all the way to Cuba and he wants to tell me nothing is done? I’m not a child and I’m not stupid either.“Why are you here if you know he is fine?” I asked, the accusation clearing my tone.“Can we sit first?” I shook my head adamantly.“Blair, please.” He speaks in that fatherly tone and cupped my cheeks. “For your health, you shouldn’t be stressing yourself.”That made me cave and I took the seat like he suggested.“I’m seated. Now tell me what is going on.” I sounded like a demanding brat and he would have called me out on it any other day. But he let it slide, seeing how shaken I was.“Lucian is fine. And he will be fine.” The way he stresses the second part makes me have more questions. Wha
BLAIRLucian has been gone for the whole day. Well, for the three hours I’ve been awake. I even went out and took a walk around the place. Asking the people I ran into if they’ve seen him. But describing a man to strangers, even your husband, was hard.I liked to believe they understood what the hell I was saying since their answers were all no. I looked around the house more thoroughly when I returned. It isn’t like he is a needle that could get lost. Lucian isn’t even a small person to begin with. And let's not forget the commanding energy he has. I would feel it if he was present. But he isn’t.And I searched everywhere, hoping I would at least find a clue where he went. Or a note that I might have missed by mistake. There was neither of those things.Can a big ass adult go missing?I even considered him getting lost. But the man has better navigation than me. He remembers all the turns in all the places we went. He also had his wolf sense or whatever to tell him if the place he wa
LUCIANI was given a chair while Owen was tied to the ceiling by his hands. His mouth was still gagged but everything else was intact. If you asked me, he got off easy. I would have done worse to him if I were the redhead. But seeing as I was at her mercy too, I didn’t speak.I needed her help, so it is better she ignored him and got started on me.“How long do you think this will take?” I asked.She ignored me and kept moving around the place. Touching stuff and correcting the girls that were now sitting around in a circle. All of them were holding trays that had some weird objects on them. It looked like they were getting ready to perform a ritual. And well, I’m not really keen on being the object of those things.“As long as it takes.” She replied, after taking her sweet time. I’d almost given up on ever getting a response from her.“What exactly are we doing?” I said we, so she wouldn’t feel like I was dumping the work on her.I guess there is nothing I can say that’ll be right in
LUCIAN Before I could put the car in drive. A group of women appeared out of nowhere, rounding our car. They all looked like they were in their early twenties. About fifteen of them, dressed in all black. I glanced at Owen who looked more than relaxed. I wasn’t worried about anything but they were women. “We can’t fight women.” I told him silently. There was a woman, with bright red hair, glaring at the car with so much intensity. You would think she wanted to set us on fire or something. Owen noticed het too because he shrunk in his seat. “There’s a problem.” He whispers to me. I turned to him, seeing his eyes were on her. He was talking, but not moving his mouth as he did so. “You could mindlink, you know.” I told him. Wishing we were in an SUV instead of this car that was so close to the ground. An SUV is already intimidating. But this looked like a toy car to begin with. “In front of seers? That’s very dumb of you to think about.” I rolled my eyes. “Start talking. She lo
