IvannaChristian is looking at me with the same anticipation and uncertainty that I'm feeling right now. We halt looking into each other's eyes. It takes me a while to process the whole thing.Did he just talk about finding Chrissie's real—?No!"We're her parents, Chris", I shrug. "I don't even wanna justify others being her parents just with that 'biological' tag. You know that"I look away."I know. I know that really well, Iv", he tells me. "And trust me calling them her biological parents won't change anything. It's just a formality. And—" he stops midway. I tilt my head back at him, anticipated. Why am I always too quick to react? He's dropping his head, his eyes darting on the concrete street beneath, calm and frozen. His throat shakes as if he's gulping down more frequently while clasping his hands together. Tighter and harder. The veins all over his arms are stiffening as he tightens the grip of his hands more and more. I drift closer to him, shoving the boxes aside betwee
ChristianAs Kane suggested, there's no way to find those people anywhere. Chrisanna isn't American by birth. We just knew that by her features. Her eyes, her face structures and her skin tone— everything was quite different from Americans. We could survey people from other countries staying in Texas but that wouldn't help much. Anyone can come here from anywhere and leave her over here. That person who left her may not have the nationality either. They might have moved back or something. Dang!It's definitely not gonna be easy. I smash my fist on the steering wheel, throwing my head back to the driving seat. It's only been a few hours since we started the process to find out those people and I'm already frustrated as hell. It takes Kane just a couple of hours to get every fucking information. Only when we know who the person is. At least, the name. We don't have it now. I have dropped Ivanna off back at her work. She didn't look much okay with this and I can understand her fear.
ChristianFrigid anger settles on my nerves as I glare at her, getting onto my feet. She's darting her eyes on me with no reaction after I have initially pushed. Never before have I done this to any woman but she has kind of forced me to do it. I have experienced enough attention throughout my life. And whenever I was mobbed by women, I found literally all of them just admiring towards me. They actually admired me and I never hesitated to share a hug. Nonetheless, whichever way Thea acted gave me an opposite vibe to everything. In fact, ever since she landed in my cabin, I sensed something fishy, different— and maybe the worst."Oops!" Thea touches her elbow which hits against the nearby stool. "Why are you so aggressive today, Christian?""Mr Scott!" I correct her. "I guess it'll be better if we just stay formal, Mrs Fox""What made you call me Mrs Fox in the very first place?" She shrugs, rolling her eyes. Is she serious? She's acting as nothing happened. "So, I can remind you wh
TheaI can say the exact moment when my heart vibrated— the exact moment, I felt my inside warming up with more than desires— a passion, a feeling, an urge to get something more than temporary pleasure. It was the damn first time when I could dare to get so closer to him— so much closer. His handsome face was just half an inch apart, and his alluring scent crashed through my nostrils, making my stomach churn with needs. His abrupt touch against my shoulder when he pushed me. Even though the moment lasted for nanoseconds but that fucking duration made it more intense for me. It was not enough. If those nanoseconds could occur such an enormous storm inside me, I can't imagine what would happen if it gets longer— bigger and deeper. I wonder how it'll feel to watch him from this much closer, to touch every inch of him, to inhale his scent as long as possible. It's not enough. It doesn't seem to be enough. I want him!Fuck it! I want him. Not only to fuck or sleep with. But I want him
IvannaI gawk at Christian in disbelief after he slams the chair aggressively on the floor. He's shaking, anticipation covering his face, and as he looks up at me, I find him breathing heavily with his helpless eyes calming down. I don't find words to speak as it's been a long time since I have seen him in such an aggressive mood. It was when I told him about Adrian. The last time when I saw him being so damn aggressive to slam things around. It's definitely been years. I can sense the intensity of the reason behind his action and walk inside. He lets out a deep sigh, turning his face aside. I stumble upon the chair and bend over to lift it. Slowly putting it aside, I walk towards him near the large window. He's looking down at the streets. Reaching closer to him, I hold his shoulder. He's still looking down and breathing heavily."Are you alright?" I whisper. He shakes his head. "No"My heart sinks. Gulping down, I brace myself before he can say anything. "Why is all this happen
IvannaI take his head against my chest as he hugs me tightly. I kiss over his head, nuzzling his hair gently. "Everything will be fine, Chris. Don't worry. We'll get a donor soon. It's just been a week since we started looking for a donor", I tell him. "Hmmm", he rubs his face against my chest, his sharp beard brushing against my skin causing goosebumps all over me. I softly moan as he kisses my collarbone. "How do you always know when I need you? You always appear before I lose it completely", he tells me."The way you always know whenever I'm in need of you", I whisper. We spent a few minutes in each other's arms before my eyes drift to the clock. It's been a long time since I have come here. "It's literally been an hour, Chris. I should leave now", I say, trying to pull my knees from under his torso."Stay for a while", he mumbles."Mr Scott, you have a ton of work to do. I'm not here to distract you", I chuckle. He looks up at me with complaint-filled eyes and it makes him
ChristianI manage to wrap up my work anyhow before the evening. Eventually, a plan of two days won't harm. We'll be away from all the stress even though there's a lot to stress about. I'll keep looking for those people outside the state. Kane has already informed the team to stick to it. The doctors are continuously monitoring the procedures for getting a donor. Among all this, I don't want better things to fade away. "Christian", Kane's voice comes from behind as I lock the shelves, turning back to him. "I was about to call you. For now, there are no urgent tasks left to be done. I completed them all. Just take care of the rest"I tell him with a smile but he seems to be tense as he scratches his forehead. "Anything wrong?" I frown. "Well, there's a blunder, Christian", he says. Now what?"What happened?" I lean over the desk, grab the edges and look at the clock. "Whatever it is, say it asap. I'm getting late"He lets out a deep sigh. "Christian, I'm not sure if you'll be able
ChristianWhat the hell am I thinking? Nudging my eyes away from the direction, I correct myself. I can't just get to a conclusion about a woman like this. I have started to question my sanity. Why am I having such vibes from Thea when it all can be wrong? I strive to shove it all out of my head and turn around to leave. "Good evening, Mr Scott", Thea's voice brings me back to the moment and I turn back to her. She still has that smirk on which makes me restless for no reason. "Good evening", I shrug and step back since she has been just half a foot away from me. "Did you like the shoot?" She asks. "It was good", I try to avoid the conversation as much as I can, keeping my eyes away from her. "Seems like, you're still mad at me", she says. "I'm even calling you Mr Scott"I glance at her, pursing my lips. "I don't hold grudges with people, Mrs Fox. Only if they try to not bring up the topic. Again and again!" I keep my eyes straight on her.Surprisingly, she doesn't get annoye
