Sometime in the night, I jerk awake as I feel an arm snake around me. I can tell it's him by his scent. Yet, I don't make a move to turn around as I stare off at the far wall, my heart racing in my chest steadily.“Darling”. He whispers into my ear. He knows I'm awake. He can hear the erratic thuds of my heart. But I still make no moves to give him any attention. He pulls me against his body tighter, his arms wrapping around my waist. “Kitten…..”. He whispers. I say nothing.“You know….you are right”. He says, his lips against my hair. “I've not exactly been straightforward with you. I'm sorry about that”. That's his first time ever apologizing to me. My heart is beating so fast it might as well jump out of my chest. “The truth is….I tried very hard not to fall for you, Valeria. I was sure I wouldn't. I'm a very self confident person, so when I found my heart going against what I wanted it to do….I didn't handle that well. And I took it out on you all the time. I'm sorry”. He leans in
I wake up to the feel of Draaven's arms around me. With my hair in my face, I shuffle away softly to avoid waking him up. A small smile settles on my lips as I rest my hand on my elbows to take in the serene sight of him sleeping. This is the first time ever that he's sleeping in beside me. Usually, he holds me to sleep but is never by my side when I wake up the next day. But today is different. Today is the first day that he's actually sleeping all night beside me. His hair is a mess and he has his mouth slightly open. I can't help noticing that this is one of the few moments that he actually looks peaceful, no stoic mask in place to shield his emotions. He looks so peaceful that I don't resist the urge to reach forward and run my fingers over his beard slightly. That's all it takes to wake him up.His eyes are the most vivid hue as they snap open and for a good moment, we stay like that. Me resting against my arm and him lying down by my side, his gaze holding mine. My smile widens
When I finally wake up again, it's almost 10am. Groggily, I push up to a sitting position to see that Draaven is no longer by my side. My heart sinks in my chest as I immediately begin to consider all the things that could have potentially gone wrong. Did he realize that he regrets showing me the part of him he's been hiding? Is he horrified that he might opened up his heart to me a little too much yesterday night? I'm jolted out of dark thoughts when I hear the door to the bathroom open and there he is at the doorway, standing butt naked, a a small smile on his face.“You are awake, baby girl”. He calls sensually. Delightful chills run down my spine at being called baby girl but the small smile on my face doesn't give away the fact that I'm turning to mush inside. “I am”. I say, my voice raspy. He extends a hand towards me, jerking his head towards the bathroom. “Come. Join me in the shower”. Oh I'd love to, I think to myself hungrily and stand up to approach him. He wraps his arms

My spine stiffens and I stare right ahead at Troy. I don't know what amazes me more, the fact that he can keep such a straight face while spewing the most disgusting lies or the fact that I really don't even know what's he's trying to achieve by all of this.“That's enough”. Draaven growls from beside me. I'm a bit hesitant to look at him. I'm honestly not sure what to expect. Does he also believe that I actively led Troy on yesterday? Instead, I glance at the rest of the table, and I see it then, the judgemental looks in their eyes as they stare at me. What happened when we left yesterday? What could have been said? Whatever it was, it seems like a vast majority of the people on this table believe it. “It'll be enough when I say so”. Troy snarls. “If you are going to go around punching people in the face, you should probably start from your infidel of a mate”. I hear a sharp scrape as Draaven's claws snap out but I know what to expect now. Before he can lunge forward on the table, I
I spend the rest of the day alone indoors. Draaven has to step out for a meeting and to be honest, I don't think I mind much. My mind keeps casting back to Donna's words and even though I tell myself it doesn't mean anything, I can't get it out of my mind either. It seemed vaguely familiar, and after a little bit of thinking, I'm taken back to Eva telling me the same thing a long time ago. I debate whether to ask Draaven about it or not.A soft knock lands on the door and I jerk back to reality. Draaven would never knock. As I approach the door, I get a whiff of the person's scent, it's not so familiar. I yank the door open to reveal an omega standing there with a package in hand. She quickly bows in respect.“Good afternoon, Luna. I have a package for you”. I'm not expecting anything.“Who is it from?”. I ask and reach forward to collect it.“I'm not sure, Luna”. She'd tell me if she knew. There's no use wasting her time any further.“Thank you”. I dismiss her. The package is a white
I get into the bath tub around 6pm and I spend a good amount of time, using all the good smelling oils and soaps I can find. When I decided to try to actually enjoy Marilyn's company, I figured out that she wasn't so bad after all. She also didn't talk about the whole issue with Troy, and for that I respect her. If her curiosity was bursting through the seams, she definitely didn't show it.When I come out of the bathroom, Draaven is still not yet back. I rush off to oil up and finally, I slip on the lingerie he had gotten me, spraying on a generous amount of perfume for good measure. I throw on a bathrobe on top of it, wouldn't want to ruin the surprise. We've done this a million times by now but I still can't help the butterflies in my stomach every time I actually take my time to prepare for sex with him. I'm just brushing through my hair when I hear the front door open. My heart flutters in my chest and an instinctive smile spreads on my face as I head towards the sitting room. An
I throw my head back and let out the moans, not even attempting to mask it. The sounds only seem to act as incentive to Draaven as he thrusts his tongue inside me bringing his thumb up to caress my clit. That's when I feel it, the slow, tingly feeling of the buildup in my core. If he continues at this rate, I'm going to explode in no time. My legs tremble under the sheer pressure of the pleasure. But just when I think he's going to take me over the edge, he pulls back and I let out a groan of frustration. “Oh my goodness….. please”. I whisper. He pays no mind to my pleas as he settles down on the bed and backs against the headrest, pulling me in to straddle his thighs. The hem of the lingerie is bunched up around my hips and I feel his erection against my opening as my legs widen on either sides. I think he's going to enter me at first but he doesn't do that, he looks me in the eyes, a deep, soul searching look that seems to penetrate through me. Slowly, I feel his hands ride up my th
