BLAIRAfter the tickling episode. Lucian and I had breakfast together. Traditional Tanzanian dishes. They were a bit spicy for him and I laughed, telling him it was the lack of excess melanin in his blood.“But that doesn’t make any sense scientifically.” He mutters, looking disappointed like a child.The only thing that was missing was the cute pout. And his lips would be perfect for that. I almost felt tempted to ask him to do that.“What has you smiling like that?” He questions, trying hard to not close his mouth. His face has started becoming redder by the minute. The tips of his ears too.He looked like he was being tortured with sweat on his forehead and his mouth slightly agape. It hurt to even look at his lips.“You.” I replied simply. He cocks a brow and asks why, to which I reply. “I think you’ll look cute with a pout.”The look he gives me is that of pure disgust. “Don't ever say that again.” He said in a threateningly quiet voice.“Just an observation,” I didn’t easily bac
LUCIANWatching Blair speak to her mother made a feeling of melancholy hit me. A sudden sadness I would say I haven’t felt in a very long time.It has been years since I lost my parents. I never really got the time to mourn them as I had to step up and become alpha. I had my siblings to look out for.Their relationship had been like a dream. It was one of those love stories you read in books. My dad had gone years without finding his mate, then he met my mum in a pub and they got along really well.They were both drunk and hadn’t realized their connection till the next morning. (I liked to pretend this part of the story didn’t happen). Long story short, she saw him gain, months later, when he visited their pack to speak to their alpha, her father.They recognised the bond instantly. He’d gone there to talk about them becoming allies, and he came back with a bride.I was born nine months later. And they were elated. She always made sure to tell me how proud she was of me. Since I was a
BLAIRI thought I was running fast. For a second, I even considered joining a track team. Because after not being physically active for a while. I felt I deserved a medal for being able to get this far in such little time. Best part, I wasn’t breathing heavily.It felt like I ran over the checkered flag when I made it out of the door without Lucian catching me.Seeing how ripped his body is, that guy worked out at least three times a week. And he may look like he worked in an office all day, but he got his body moving. Feeling like I was able to put so much distance between us that I wasn’t even hearing his footsteps. I was more than proud of myself.A gold medal on the way for me—“Ahhh!” I screamed at the top of my lungs when I felt something, or rather someone, wrap their arms around me.Not grab my hand or stand in front of me. No, a full hug.How the hell? How did he get here so fast? I didn’t even hear his footsteps. How is that possible?It was like he had superhuman speed or s
BLAIROur stay in Zanzibar was one of my best. Even though I didn’t get to swim. According to the tour guide, it was bad luck for the baby. I had no idea what that meant but she’d looked horrified. And well, self-preservation.Though it was equally satisfying watching Lucian swim. He made even that look hotter than it should.Our second location was Singapore. I recalled his look when I told him that. He couldn’t believe I wanted to go there. Even on the plane, he asked again why I wanted that. I didn’t give a solid reason so I just shrugged. We spent a week there, doing all the tourist-y activities.The girls were loving the daily videos that were like a vlog.When we went to Japan, I felt a shift between us. I couldn’t name it for the life of me and it had me worrying. Anxiety churned my stomach and for more than half of the day, I was in a weird state of panic. I don’t think Lucian realized, else he would have mentioned it. That I was sure of.We settled into our suite. Since I alr
LUCIANAll Blair needed was her orgasm, then she was fast asleep. I smiled watching her before I got off the bed and walked to the bathroom where I found a towel and wet it with warm water. After cleaning her up, I dressed her in the shirt I’d taken off. Something I found she liked and I took a shower and decided to get into bed with her.That sleep looked peaceful.When I got into the bed though, my attention moved to the bump protruding in my shirt. Her stomach has gotten even bigger now. You could easily tell she was pregnant. It made a force possessiveness wash over me whenever I see her.I moved closer to her, until there was no breathing space between us. My hands on my bump and the other supporting her head. She murmured in her sleep and snuggled closer to me.We had a dinner reservation for the evening. We woke up and lazed in bed for the rest of the day. We finally got ready a few minutes to eight, then stepped out of the hotel.“Ugh, we should have ordered in?” Blair grumble
LUCIAN“You’ve been here before?” Blair asked, closing the menu and keeping it back on the table.She looked through it again, after mentioning she had no idea what any of the things on it meant.“Not here, though.” I replied, watching her do the littlest things. Like how she moved her hair from her face often, the way she plays with her fingers.If there is one thing I can say about Blair is, she can’t sit idle. She has to be doing something. Movie her hands, touching This or that. It was endearing to watch, knowing not anyone would know this about her but I did. Because I saw her up close. Because she was free with me and she let me see all the small things she did.“I’m telling you about the country,” I nodded and told her, yes. I’ve been here a few times. “Why didn’t you mention it? I would have picked somewhere else.” She pouted, looking a little sad. “The whole point of going to places we haven’t been is so we can experience it for the first time.”I wanted to put that smile bac
BLAIRI never thought I would be the one overthinking school in this marriage. What I was even more shocked about was Lucian’s support.In my head, I thought he would just be his usual bossy self and he’ll implement what he thinks I should do. Which will make me lose it and we’ll have a fight. It was an endless circle.Except, he surprised me. He was more bothered than I was. Because when Sasha and Mikayla asked what I was thinking of doing. The first thing that came to my mind was deferring.I thought it would just be better to finish after my baby is here. I didn't want to put myself through much stress. It might affect my baby’s health. The thought of them not being fine made me feel like my chest is burning.In the end, he said we should leave the topic for another day. He wasn’t happy with me for the whole thing.I didnt know which school he went to. I’m not sure if his parents were in the house or what happened to them. But he has never brought it up.I felt like a crazy possess
BLAIRWhat Elaine said shook me to the core. And I couldn’t even hide it because immediately when I got back to our table. Lucian asked if I would like to go back to the hotel and skip dessert. I was grateful to him for that.He did ask if my sister was okay. He didn’t ask the basics of it or what was going on, just if she was fine. And I know I’ve said it before, but right now, that made me believe I was falling in love with him.My friends have said it many times. The way to my heart is through my family. And if that made me easy, then so be it.But as long as you’re good to me, you respect and care about family, and you aren’t rude to others. I’ll love you forever.It doesn’t have to necessarily be in a romantic way. There are a lot of platonic loves.But there is no mistaking, what I feel for Lucian is nothing platonic.He hailed a cab for us back to the hotel. Another positive point for him because that was thoughtful. And during the entire ride, he didn’t release my hand. When w
