“You're really hard working, Alex. I can’t believe you could clean this whole place.” Max said as they say on the front porch of the guest house. “When you offered, I thought you were just feeling obligated. Alex grinned, showing him her lovely set of teeth. Max smiled back at her, loving the way her teeth were. She was a beautiful woman, too bad their boss had his eyes on her, and he was confused that she might be his mate. “It’s not really a big deal. I’m used to doing house chores and cleaning as well.”“I see.” He chuckled. Alex had only done the cleaning because she wanted to do something. She had been thinking about Gabe more often than she should and she concluded that it was because she had been“Do you want something? I want to go inside to get a glass of iced lemonade.” He said.“Yeah,” she gave him a thumbs up and nodded. “That’s good too. Thank you.” She said. She needed it because she suddenly felt her throat all dried up, and it had nothing to do with the fact that s
Getting down from the car, he waited for it to be parked before following Fabio around the house to the guest house. Gabe had forgotten a file at the office last night and he had been the one to go back to retrieve it, only he had not been able to collect it from him since then. Thankfully, it was only needed now. He could have easily asked him to bring it over to the mansion, but he thought it better to not stress the older ma any further about it. It was late in the evening, but the sky was still a little bit brighter than it usually should, but it didn’t last. The birds were calling at one another, and everywhere was starting to feel like dusk. As they rounded the corner that led to the front porch of the guest house, Gabe froze. There in the light in front of the house, sat Max and Alex, and she had her head thrown back in laughter, at whatever Max had said. He wondered so many things at that point in time, wondering what she was doing her, what they were talking about, and w
“Drinking this much won’t make things fine you know,” Dean said, looking at his best friend as he took another sip of his drink. He had just flown into America two days ago from his business trip and Gabe had called him, and they were now at their usual bar. He had brought him up to date, telling him about Alex, the woman his sister had brought to him, her best friend from college or so. He knew that Gabriel wasn’t really looking for his mate, but he had known that he would only want to settle for her when the time came. Now, he had found her and she was human. He still doesn’t understand why an alpha was getting a human mate. Had they ever gotten a human before but they never knew about it? Anyway, that wasn’t the point. It was his best friend that he was worried about. “You know drinking this much won’t do your health any good, right?” he asked, but Gabe refuse to answer. “Fuck!” He muttered. This was one of the times he wished that Gabe's parents were still alive or that his br
After that night, Gabe had started to avoid Alex until he was able to figure out what to do with her. He had thought about it for day and night but there was no plausible idea, yet. This morning, he had avoided seeing her by leaving for work too early without taking his breakfast, and he intended to go back home late at night. He knew that this might seem like he was a coward, maybe he was, or perhaps, he was taking the cowardice way out, but that was that, and it was better than losing control. To Alex, she probably didn’t notice that, or even cared, because she had made no effort to see him after all. He didn’t even understand what exactly was going on, and why things were this way. He was going to have to go to the meeting with the elders tonight after he gets home at night. He needed to ask them some questions about having a human mate. There must be some views on it, something to tell him whether it was a good or bad idea. Alex must be elated about the fact that he had starte
Surprise doesn’t even begin to explain what he felt the moment he heard what she had to say. Had he heard correctly what she had said, or he had just misheard? That must be the case, he thought. “I’m sorry, what did you say?” He asked, the surprise on his face still intact.Beverly chuckled. “I know that you’re quite surprised to hear me say that I won’t you back, but I do and trust me, I’m serious this time. I want to be with you again.” He said. There was something about being surprised so much one wouldn't be able to talk. People would think that it’s something it’s not, mistaking it for being so overwhelmed with gladness, but it was not. Gabe was if nothing, amused about the whole thing. He had thought that he was not sure of what he had heard but then she had repeated it. She had even said that it was because they both couldn’t find their mate, but what would make her think so? This was an eye-opening circumstance for him, the fact that he had been slow to act or keeping thin
Working late at his home office, he worked into the night, so deep that he didn’t even know that the time was gone. It was almost eleven thirty two and he was still up. Sighing, he pushed the file he was working on aside and stood up from behind his desk. Yawning, he used the back of his hand to cover his mouth, then he walked out of his office. He walked to the kitchen to grab a cup of water for the road to sleep land. For some weird reason, drinking water before bed helped him sleep better and sometimes, faster. After drinking a glass full of water, he walked upstairs, and he had almost opened the door of his room and disappeared inside when he heard some moaning. Furrowing his brows in confusion, he heard it again, and he could tell it was coming from Alex's room. What in the world was happening? He thought as he started to walk down the corridor towards her room. He paused at the door to listen, wanting to be sure it was not a moan of pleasure. It wasn’t. It was as if she wa
They stayed like that until Alex was done crying. She sniffed as she pulled away from him and she buried her face in her palms. She was embarrassed that she had been crying in front of her. Her nightmare was something that she had blamed herself for, for the most part of her teenage years until she didn’t anymore. She couldn’t look at Gabe in the eyes, because she didn’t even want to talk about her dream. Gabe looked at her, instantly missing the warmth of her body plastered against his. He could feel that she wasn’t wearing a bra, and he was so hot. When she pulled back, he had instantly missed her heat and he wanted to pull her back to his body. “Are you okay?” he asked her and she looked up at him. She nodded but didn’t say anything. “Do you want to talk about it?” He asked. “No!” she said, shaking her head. “I just want to forget about it.” She licked her dry lips and sighed. She began to stand up from where she sat, to go to the bathroom to wash her face, but her legs tangl
For some reason, the following night, Alex wore one of the silky nightgowns Cara had bought for her, and she stood in front of the mirror in her room to check herself out. She wasn’t sure why she had worn it, because it wasn’t as if someone was going to see her in it or anything. Perhaps, it was because of how it made her feel sexy, or how it revealed her figure and made her look at herself in a new light.“I should wear things like this more often.” She whispered to herself, a small smile on her face. She was grinning like an idiot as she looked at herself up and down, turning her body to view the backside as well. There was something so nice about wearing something that felt good against one's skin and looked sexy on the body, as she had noticed and it was oddly good. Not that it only felt good, but she could tell that it made her prettier. She was comfortable in it, and the vibrant color was perfect with her skin tone. She smiled again at herself in the mirror but then it soon s
