Simply His Chapter 30: There Is Pain When One Waits Part 2
*Meadow*Next morning I woke up hitting my phone's alarm clock and when I sat on the bed, I rubbed my eyes trying to remember how I got there. The moment I did, I felt such sadness as I missed him. I took a shower and put my outfit on, thankful that I had my mind in the right place when I accepted to come there and went to pick up a change of clothes first. If I were going to be staying there, I needed to pick up more things from my apartment. It would be easier for me to stay there, but I was aware of Gideon's state of mind, and I was going to be causing stress on Caleb if I did. I didn't want to add to his worries.The morning was easy back at work, and my nemesis was nowhere to be seen. At our morning meeting, my boss asked me how I was feeling and I said I was much better. He asked me what plans I had to put my strategy into motion and I was caught by surprise. I hadn't been preparing for a fast application, so I asked him for time, and he gave me one more week to finish the inse

*Meadow*My boss looked at me with curiosity when both Cara and I entered his office, and he gestured us to take a seat. "Well, Miss Gasklow, you wanted an urgent meeting with us. May I know the nature of this urgency?" He started as soon as we sat, a small look of annoyance flashed on his face as he wasn't pleased to be requested for an audience with such short notice. I looked at Cara, and she seemed in full confidence."Sir Carter" she started, and he almost broke his pen as he tightened his grip on it, Cara was defiant. "My name is Cara, and I am head of the Tech Tracking and Surveillance Department of Rowen International Security and Associates, have you heard of us?" She asked already knowing the answer. There was no one in the high ranks of any company or business who wasn't aware where the best technological options on security were from. Caleb's company was legendary in the industry; well established and renowned, something that never crossed my mind until now. My boss nodde
Simply His Chapter 32: The Way Of The Wolf Part 2
*Caleb*I opened my jaw and dropped the lifeless body of yet another rogue. All our allies howled the victory, while Alex and I were still hunting. We both smelled them, we knew they were there. We must have taken down over ninety of them, and that meant we reduced their numbers greatly. For as far as we knew, their numbers didn't exceed a hundred and forty, an already huge and challenging threat.'I sense someone else, not too far from here,' Alex sent me as he darted towards the north.'Alex, don't go alone... you idiot, we need to stick together!' I growled at him as I started to run behind him. I saw him jump a few logs and rocks then push someone down. I heard whimpers and struggle. When I reached him a couple of seconds later, he had in his jaws the neck of Bryan, who was Cornelius and Agape's beta, and happened to be also Agape's brother.'Alex, what are you going to do?' I asked him, but I already knew his answer.'A life for a life. Is the way of the Wolf.' He sent back a

*Meadow*I yawned as I stretched my arms then suddenly I hit something. My eyes opened wide, and I looked to my left where I saw Caleb smiling. "Morning, my princess," He whispered, leaning down to kiss my lips softly. Was I still dreaming? I rubbed my eyes a little too hard and then looked again. No, he wasn't a dream, his lips felt real. "Yes, it's me," He said and I jumped to him."You are back!" I almost screamed, and he wrapped his arms around me chuckling. All this while I tried to digest the fact he called me his princess."Would you like some breakfast? I brought you some juice and a few salty things, but if you prefer sweets I can arrange that," He said as he nuzzled my neck and took a deep breath from my hair.I felt goosebumps all around and squeezed him tightly. "Juice is fine, thank you."After we finally released each other, I sat on the bed, and he rested his head on my lap, sighing and closing his eyes. I felt that, since we spoke on the phone yesterday, something

*Meadow*Caleb was a perfect gentleman, as always. I keep telling myself he was just a dream come true. He shook Mr. McLane's hand and smartly flattered his business and investments. They both joked and got along fine, making me smile as I watched their interactions. Towards the end of the conversation, Caleb finally addressed Gideon's subject. "I've heard you fired the man. I am glad you did. We put charges against him and will let the police handle it.""Ah yes, I wanted to choke the life out of him when I showed him the tape, and he just shrugged! He put my daughter's life at risk, and also Meadow's. No sane person would do something like that."Caleb nodded. "Police procedure is slow, but we are following it by the book. If we all could handle things as we wanted to, well... the world would become more primitive than it already is."McLane chuckled and nodded. "I will give you that, Rowen.""Caleb, you can call me Caleb," He smiled at him, another ace under his sleeve.McLane
Simply His Chapter 35: Personal Struggle Part 1
*Meadow*I managed to make myself look decent enough; I was wearing a below the knee silver dress with dark brown flowers manually sewed in it, it was loose and so comfortable. Together with a simple pair of brown pumps with a similar shade of brown purse that made the perfect combination. I ruffled my hair into soft waves and allowed it to fall from the sides, my final touch was a simple eyeliner, no more than that. I loved to be simple, even though something told me Caleb had more elegant plans.When I walked out of the room, He was resting on the couch, talking with Alex. I had his back at me while Alex stopped talking as his eyes laid on mine, he bowed his head and became silent, while Caleb tilted his head slightly."There you are, ready to go out?" He said calmly. I felt the situation to be odd. Alex looked different, gloomier.I walked to Caleb, and he smiled as he looked up from the chair, he took my hand and pulled me gently to sit on his lap. "Hi, Alex," I managed to say.

*Meadow*He opened the door for me and then guided me into a quiet and elegant restaurant. It was different from the other ones, and I felt much more comfortable in it. It had several private booths in a very sober design; wood panels decorated the walls, and two vintage sofas faced one to the other, a table of the same style in between. He allowed me to slide in and get comfortable, turning around to pull a cord that made a pair of curtains drop. He looked at me with a smile, and I saw some uncertainty in his eyes, he didn't know where he would seat. I lifted my hand to him invitingly, so he sat next to me and took my hand squeezing it. "What would you like to have as an appetizer?" His voice smooth as silk echoed in my ear.I half closed my eyes and heard the blues in the background moving me closer to him, I took his hand in mine and rested it on my knee. "I want many things, but I will be fine with a drink and anything you advise," I replied half teasingly.He ordered fried garl
Simply His Chapter 37: Personal Struggle Part 3
*Meadow*The mixed sensations of the delicious food added to our favorite wine paled in comparison to the feelings my own body felt as we ate slowly in silence. The music seemed to conspire against me, revealing my thoughts. "You get the fever... you get the itch... and you forget about the mess you were in..." sang Keb Mo while I tried to convince myself it wasn't a mistake; and that was all it took for me to get cold and uncomfortable.He spread his legs a little wider, and I felt lower in between them. I could feel his intentions hard against me, and I couldn't concentrate on anything but the basics. Breath and eat. I ate slowly and finally, once full, I kept quiet as I drank the last content inside the wine bottle, only to look at its emptiness disappointed.He chuckled and leaned against me enough to feel his breath on my neck. "Would you like me to order more?"I half closed my eyes and felt intoxicated. "I think I have had enough..." I whispered. Why was I suddenly so nervou
