All Chapters of Mated to My best friend : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

VIMON'S POVWhen I woke up the next morning, Theo was splayed out beside me, deeply asleep, with an arm slung around me.With a smile on my face, I tucked his hair behind his ear and pressed a soft kiss to the throbbing vein in his neck. He really was gorgeous. I was tempted to curl up in his arms and just go back to sleep, but I still had a long journey ahead of me and I had to hurry if I wanted to be back at the palace in a week like I had assured Aegon.So I softly shook him awake, it took a while to wake him up." Morning beautiful." He said groggily when he was finally awake giving me a sleepy smile."Morning handsome." I said, returning his smile.Wrapping my arms around him, I snuggled in and buried my face in his neck. " You feel so good, I wish I could stay here all day." I murmured." Why can't you?" He asked. " I'm not complaining."" Tempting, very tempting." But I need to get going or I won't be able to make the return trip in time."" I didn't realize you were on a clock

THEO'S POV " I guess it is." She replied, reflectively tapping her chin with her index finger. " So ...... we're dining like kings tonight." I said, wiggling my eyebrows at her. " I guess we are." She replied with a giggle as she tore open her pack of beef jerky and bit into it. Smiling into her eyes I did the same, chasing the morsel of dried beef down my throat with a large gulp of wine. "Easy." She admonished with a chuckle. " I don't want you too drunk to appreciate the orgasm I plan to give you as soon as I get my hands into your pants." She added. It was a struggle not to shudder at the image her words conjured up and all I could do was pray that my face didn't display the disgust I felt as I took another gulp of wine to stall for time. I must have succeeded because she continued smiling as she picked up her cup and winked at me over the rim before taking a small sip. " I see I've finally been able to render you speechless." She said, I cleared my throat and opened and

VIMON'S POVMy head was pounding so much when I drifted into consciousness I could almost imagine a contingent of soldiers with elephant hide soled boots, running around, stomping their feet, clanging their weapons and shouting at the top of their voices on and in my head. The pain was so intense I groaned and burrowed back into the sheets.What the hell had I been doing last night? I wondered. Had I had too much to drink at a function or something? And why the hell was my bed so hard this morning? And my sheets didn't have the usual smell? Had the stupid maids forgotten to wash it in violet scented water like always asked?Groaning as the pounding in my head seemed to increase in crescendo with my thoughts, burrowed deeper into the sheets, deciding to go back to sleep, maybe next time I woke up, whatever I drank would have worn off and I would ha As it turned out I didn't need to go back to sleep for that, for no sooner had I made that decisionve my memory of the previous night bac

THEO'S POVIf anyone told me that I would ever be this scared of Vimon, I would have scoffed and laughed in their faces, but yet here I was literally quaking in my boots as she set the bags she took from my shoulders at the base of the nearest tree and began to walk around me in slow circles, I tried my best not to let it show though.For all I knew this could be an elaborate prank or ruse to test my loyalty or something, but even as those thoughts ran through my mind I knew I was only deluding myself, Vimon wasn't one for pranks, she hated them and she wasn't about to change her mind and feelings all of a sudden, after all, an old dog couldn't learn new tricks. And besides the cold and steely look in her eyes was all I needed to know that she definitely wasn't joking. Something I had done or said had tipped her off and given me away, and right now I was as good as dead. I knew this, but that didn't mean I was just going to stand there and accept my fate with open hands." Vimon? What

VIMON'S POVTen hours later,I was back in the same position, scowling at my reflection in the mirror." When did you become such a bleeding heart?" I demanded." What happened to the Vimon who was ready to do anything and everything to get what she wanted, and everyone else be damned?"Although my reflection couldn't give me any answers, my subconscious could and did just that. That Vimon was still in the woods mourning Theo's death and whether or not she would ever come back into this body was still a mystery.The woman sitting in front of the reflection wasn't anything like that Vimon, she was unable to bear the thought of causing anyone pain with her words and actions. My actions earlier today were all the confirmation anyone needed. I had spent a restless night of not more than an hour of sleep because anytime I closed her eyes, she fell into a dream where I saw nothing but the look of abject terror on Theo's face when I left him to the fayronas, getting out of bed at first light
