"Eric, get your lazy ass out of bed before I do so for you!" I yelled as I pounded on his door.
Two days had passed since the good news about the restaurant's ownership. True to his word, Theo had finalised everything and transferred the ownership of the restaurant to me the previous day. Of course, I was excited enough to take Eric out on a family outing. We had gone to the mall and then watched one of his action movies at a cinema. My only two regrets were that Theo couldn't join us and that I chose the wrong day for an outing. It was a school night, and Eric and I had come home quite late.
"Alright, alright, I hear you." I heard his distorted mumbling, followed by the rustling of bedsheets and then the slow and lazy shuffling of feet.
I nodded in satisfaction and made my way to the living room.
I was having a sandwich when Eric emerged about half an hour later from his room. He h
Theo nodded to the guard that stood by the door. The latter returned his gesture and opened the door. As soon as we stepped in, the wind hit my face, and the scent of the ocean assaulted my nose. I gasped, and my hands flew to my chest as I surveyed the beach.I had gone to the beach quite a handful of times, but none of them brought me back home compared to what was before me. This was the most beautiful beach I had seen so far. The white sands shone like crystal, and the ocean sparkled under the brightness of the sun.There were few people at the beach, and they were all adults. The age of the youngest person could be estimated to be twenty. Some of them wore conservative clothing, but most of them wore beachwear. Some couples splashed about by the shore, laughing and screaming when a wave approached."Welcome to Santa Torres Beach, Babe." Theo wrapped his arm around my waist, while his other hand hel
At the first signs of the early hours of dawn, my eyes slowly flew open. I heard the whisle of the early morning birds. The breeze that roamed my body reminded me of the fact that I was not home in bed.Rather, I was out in the open woods, and my bed happened to be my snoring mate. I steadied myself on his heaving chest and glanced down at him, a soft smile tugging at the corners of my lips.He never ceased to look so gorgeous in the mornings. I sometimes wish he kept his hair loose and let it flow to his shoulders. It added more spice to his hotness and brought out the beauty of those gold eyes. His hands were wrapped around me and were close to my ass. If he moved them downward and further, he would get good handfuls. This man below me was a beast under the sheets. Well, so to speak. My face heated as I remembered all the things he did to me last night.'What didn't he do to me?' I menta
Theo parked by the edge of the woods, and we both stepped out. I shivered a bit as the cold wind hit my face, and I regretted wearing a light shirt. Theo noticed my plight and chuckled."Having second thoughts?" he said."In your wildest dreams." I stuck out my tongue at him.We made our way into the woods and approached a tree. We both stripped and laid our clothes by the edge."Where are we racing to?" I couldn't keep my eyes away from Theo's nude form. I subconsciously bit my lip upon seeing the beast between his legs."To the rock we sat on that night." Theo replied, feeding his eyes as well with the view of my body."The same rock where..." I began."I fucked you." Theo completed my statement with a sly grin. "Yes, baby, that same rock."I rolled my eyes at him, trying and failing to hide my blush at
As Theo and I walked through the halls hand in hand, my eyes widened in awe. I had closed early from work and got home in time to freshen up before Theo arrived. With a quick goodbye to Eric, we made our way to the museum, and it was safe to say I would be visiting the place more often. Since I had stepped into the museum, everything had caught my interest and curiosity. And to think I hated history back in high school. As for my curiosity, I was glad it killed the cat. Not the wolf.There were several large portraits and pictures of werewolves from over the centuries. We stopped by a large statue of a man that stood at the centre. He was dressed in what resembled an ancient robe, and he held a large sword."That's Gorbak," Theo explained. "He was the founder of the Lycan kingdom of the west in the 15th century.""Oh?" I lifted my eyebrows."Yeah." Theo nodded. "Gorbak was a wolf who became a rogue after his pack was wiped out by vampires. He wandered until he arrived at a city wher
"Happy birthday, boss!"Daisy grabbed me and crushed me in a tight hug as soon as I stepped into the restaurant. I could almost literally feel the excitement radiate from her. I thanked my stars that the restaurant was empty at the moment; otherwise, I didn't know how I was going to explain the scene."Thanks, Daisy." I patted her back. "But seriously, I told you to stop the 'boss' thing. We've talked about it before.""I know." Daisy rubbed the back of her neck, smiling sheepishly. "I'm just trying to be professional. You know, not let sentiments get in the way or something.""You're still my friend, you know." I smiled. "And remember, you were part of the reason I never quit working, even though George nearly drove me crazy. I know things have changed now, but you can still see me as your friend.""It's going to be a bit tough," she said. "But I'll try.The door to the kitchen opened, and two other ladies stepped out. They were the new cooks. Claudia is a brunette in her late thirti
A few days had passed since that incident. My brother and I were on better terms. It had taken a lot from me to do so, but I had personally gone to his room to wake him up after that night with a big apology, accompanied by his favourite dish: fried turkey wings, boiled eggs, and rice. Of course, I was easily forgiven. It was then that I knew how much I was glad to see him smile again. I would rather enjoy our sibling banter than have my own flesh and blood become my enemy. It just didn't seem right. The next thing I did was take a small break from my restaurant and buy an apology gift for Lucy at Theo's office. Thankfully, she never outgrew her love for chocolates. We were back on good terms, but I wouldn't lie, it would still feel weird to see Lucy and Eric act all lovey-dovey.I was in the kitchen when Eric popped in."Happy birthday, Sis." He grins as he sits on the table at the back of me.I stiffened at the spot. I had even forgotten it was my own birthday. Curse the numerous
