I didn't expect Ada to help so much. I thought she would yell at me for not paying close attention to the task she sent me, but she proved me wrong by telling me it was just natural. Natural to love someone? I bet it was. In Chrys' case, falling for her was the most natural thing that has ever happened to me. Ada advised me on how to get Chrys to speak to me, and I hope it works out. As I took a week's leave from the shop, I intend to use it well. I won't waste it like I did these past two days.I sneaked into Gordon's office the moment I heard him leave for work. I haven't been in here since the day he almost caught me. I had been too preoccupied with Chrys to pay attention to anything else. The study was still the way it was on the day I last visited it. Aside from the extra books on the desk, there was nothing of interest in it. I went through the files on the table, careful to check the contents. After checking the files on the desk, I focused on the ones in his drawers. Openin

“You know you don't have to lie if you don't have to.” I folded my arms as I rose from the bed. “If you need a quick fuck, Claudia will be willing to give you that.”And there I go with mentioning her because I was fucking jealous. I know I shouldn't feel this way since I said I had nothing to do with him anymore. However, it was nearly impossible. I might never speak to him until he leaves, but that doesn't exclude the fact that he was my mate. He glanced up, looking shocked by the words I uttered. “Why will you think that way, Chrys? Do you assume I would kneel in front of a woman just because I wanted sex?” He narrowed his eyes at me. “Can't you understand I love you?!” He was almost yelling now. His face contorted into a dark frown as his eyes changed. It seemed his eyes were on fire. There were dancing flames in them. His fangs elongated. Yet, he knelt there without rising. “I know I have given you no reason to trust me, Chrys. I had been nothing but a nuisance from the day we

“Punishment? I love the sound of that.” I smirked, teasing him by biting my lower lip. A rumble tore from his throat as he flipped me, making me lie on my stomach. “Kneel," he commanded. The order came out raspy. He sounded like he barely had control over his words. I did as he asked. I knelt on the bed and spread my thighs, knowing he could see my arousal. I heard a grunt from him, animalistic and predatory. I howled in reply, placing my hands forward with my back pressed down and my arse raised.“Do you know what comes to mind with you in this position?” His fingers ghosted on the back of my thighs, not touching but teasing. “What? The need to screw me so hard I won't be able to walk for weeks?” I provided.“No, far from it, my love. It's the hunger to mar your skin until it's ruined. The urge to smack your arse until it turns red, leaving the imprints of my palm.”I shivered. “Fuck me already, Jayden. Stop teasing me!” I was almost going mad. I just want his fingers deep in my

JAYDENI rushed through my task, so I could return earlier than I told Chrys. It was crazy how attached I had become to her after a few weeks of being together. I just don't want to be separated from her. At least not for over 7 hours. If only we could spend all our days together, but I know it was difficult. We weren't attached at the hip. The others watched me as I worked. None sought to help me, not that I would have let them do that. It scared them to approach me, and that was because of how cold. I wanted nothing to do with humans. Especially those I was working with. They just get on my damned nerves. I got everything done before 5 O'clock. I was ready to go, ready to surprise Chrys by returning earlier than I had estimated. My phone rang the moment I entered my car. I had just dropped my bag and inserted the key in the ignition, only for my thoughts to be disrupted by the ringing of my phone. I immediately answered it when I saw the caller's ID. Chrys hardly calls me whenev

Standing outside the broken door was the last person I expected to find. At least not with my regard for him. Gordon stood there with his eyes narrowed to slits. “I knew there was something wrong with you from the first time you approached me,” he said as he took some steps towards us, his eyes focused solely on Claudia.“Oh? What a pity.” She straightened, facing him. “Why then did you employ me?” She folded her arms, looking so at ease despite the darkness swirling in Gordon's eyes. Though he was still in his human form, his fangs, and claws hidden, I could feel the ferocity of his presence.“You can say I wanted to check you out.”“Did I disappoint?” She asked in a mocking tone, her arms still folded, looking like one with no care in the entire world. “No, you didn't.”“Well, let's get this show on the road!” She knelt and brought out another dagger identical to the one was using on me. I thought the fight would end quickly the moment Gordon raced towards her, but I was wrong.
