GIOVANNI ~ ~Penelope's expression morphed into one of surprise before quickly changing into anger.As I met her gaze, a sharp pang struck my chest, squeezing it painfully. The expression on her face felt suffocating and agonizing, like a weight pressing down on me. I knew a storm was about to break loose. Her mouth began to form words, sharp and cutting, ready to snap at me.Before she could speak, to unleash her fury, I acted on pure instinct, pulling her into a tight hug. A gasp escaped her lips, her body stiffening in surprise. I trembled, overwhelmed by the rush of emotions. My wolf growled within me, a mix of happiness and fear swirling through him. He was delighted to finally have his mate in his arms again after a long separation.I shared in his emotions, feeling the grip of fear tightening around my heart. The fear of losing her, fear of facing rejection once more, fear of another man stealing her away from me haunted my mind. It was an uncontrollable surge of emotions, thre

GIOVANNI ~ ~This was bad… so fucking bad.Of all time to get this investigation done and reported to me, it had to be the day when I had planned a special date for Penelope.Leon cleared his throat awkwardly, "I'm sorry that it had to be like this but can we—""Hey, Leon!" Penelope suddenly called, stepping into view, interrupting whatever Leon was about saying next.We both turned to her direction and saw her eyes dart back and forth from Leon to me, giving us wary glances. " Is everything alright with you both?" She asked, pulling the little bag in her hand closer to her chest.Leon gave me a look before coughing, nodding his head. "Of course, Luna! Everything is wonderful. I see Giovanni is taking you on a date. I think I'm jealous."My brows rose but my stoic expression never changed. Penelope gave a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes before nodding, moving in between us to get to the car. My senses took that opportunity to snap and I hurried to open the passenger's door for

PENELOPE ~ ~"Are you alright?" Giovanni sounded startled, I let out a whimpering sound which made a frown appear on his handsome face.My eyes roamed across his body, his ruffled hair which seemed to make him appear more handsome and irresistible with each passing second."The fuck?! Why are you–" he swallowed hard, rising to his feet, when he saw me approach him with a feverish look."Fuck!" He gulped again, I could see his jaw grinding. "Please…" he heaved out "...get dressed." No matter how hard he tried to avert his gaze on me, he just couldn't. I was nude except for the panties covering my sex. He was struggling, battling with his wolf, his breaths were turning ragged."Giovanni! I need you to fuck me… touch me … anywhere." I broke into sobs. "Please…"His eyes widened in shock, probably because it was my first time using such language."No…" He suddenly shook his head, taking some steps back, almost stumbling. I would have laughed at how uneasy he was right now. His face was tu

PENELOPE ~ ~The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the sunlight streaming through the windows of my mansion. The sound of the cars humming as they drove down the estate's winding driveway. I squinted against the bright sunlight, turning my head away from the glare. I could feel the softness of the luxurious silk sheets beneath me, and the warmth of the sunlight on my skin. I closed my eyes again, taking in the comfort of the early morning quiet.Several images of what had transpired yesterday began flooding into my head, making me freeze and then gasp. I quickly sat up, my eyes flying to my body to see me clothed into another night wear.Oh shit!I groaned, sinking back into the pillows and pulling the blankets up over myburning face. What the hell had I been thinking? Begging him to have sex with me? I had been vulgar, touching his privates.Oh dear!I’d never done anythingremotely close to that, not evening to my ex. I closed my eyes, hoping for a second that I could

PENELOPE ~ ~" Yeah… on the eye … you should touch there also, no… I mean her neck and her legs. No … don't add so much, it might blot her skin." Iris kept directing the beauticians and the masseuses who had surrounded the entire lounge, running around to attend to me.I sighed in weariness, reclining on the chair, groaning and sighing, while letting them take care of my skin."How long is it going to take before we head to the spa? My butt hurts." I whined, but Iris only patted my arm gently before going back to start dishing out instructions to the ladies."Perfect…" Iris clapped her hands before the beautician trapping my face let go. I couldn't yet see any transformation, but I stood when the head Masseuse motioned us to come inside the spa.The large spa had a closed sign on it when it should be trooping with lots and lots of customers. I frowned in confusion when I realized how empty and silent the spa was aside from the sounds of machines in it.I turned to whisper to Iris, tip
