Mason
My eyes are focused on the warm orange hues, flickering from the candlelights. The dancing flames conveys a sense of gentleness, warmth and coziness.The golden orange lights radiate in the bathroom beautifully, casting a warm glow on our bodies. My fingertips are cold but they caress the L.J craving on my bracelet, my mind wandering.Leo kisses behind my ear before resting his chin on my shoulder as he embraces me closer, longingly. I tilt my body to the side, my head resting on his arm as I kiss his lips. My wet tongue gently tugged his lips, he quickly latched on my tongue, licking and sucking messily.My skin burns under the lukewarm water, his kissing making me intoxicated as if the world itself is burning. A kiss so deep and yearning.“You taste so sweet,” Leo let out a breathy laugh.I shut my eyes, refilling my lungs with air. I snuggle even closer to his body, relaxing into his hold.LeoThere is nothing more euphoric than waking up to the face of the one you love.Mason is sleeping peacefully, his face calm with softness. I let my fingers run over his smooth and unlined skin. I noticed that he has a tiny black beauty mark under his left eye.He is so beautiful, beyond every shoreline of words.His eyelashes give a subtle flutter at my touch. I pressed a kiss on his forehead and slowly got out of the bed. I pull the blanket over his shoulders, tucking him in comfortably to allow him to continue his rest.I go downstairs, heading straight to the kitchen.“Oh, good morning, Sir.”“Good morning, Rachel.”“You are awake early, Sir. How can I help you?”“Is Kai awake yet?” I asked her, going into the kitchen. She had already unpacked everything we bought from the mall yesterday.“He wakes up at 7:00 am, Sir. It’s 6: 50 now.”
Mason“Have some fruits, young master.”“Thank you, Rachel,” I threw a piece of apple in my mouth, sighing tiredly. I feel jittery and nervous, I have a bad feeling about this meeting.“I was just telling sir Leo this morning how you don’t frown anymore. I take that back, you have been shaking since he left.”“Did the butler add anything else?”“No, he only said that your father asked for your presence at the Skyline Bistro & Hotel tomorrow, at 4pm. Oh, he also indicated that you should keep your son at home because it’s a business gathering.”“My playtime is over,” My head falls on the kitchen counter, “Do you think he is watching all of my moves? I’m about to have some peace, I’m in a happy place right now, I’m happily in love with a man I have spent over 6 months pinning over. Leo and I are having a good time right now, I just want to have peace, Rachel.”Rachel is frowning helplessl
MasonAt 4pm, a Mercedes- Maybach Sedan was waiting for me outside my house.I was prepared, watching from the window as to when the driver would arrive. Leo had left an hour ago, Kai was having his rest as he just got back from school. After a long silent ride with the driver that spoke no word, I arrived at the Skyline Bistro & Hotel.I swallowed nervously, going into the private dining area. I immediately noticed my father because no matter where he was, his aura always stands out. He looks younger than his age as usual, stylish and poised.He is eating his steak with too much red sauce, a charismatic air around him.I gathered up all my confidence and walked towards him, my palm sweating.“Father.”“You are here,” He wipes his mouth with napkins, “Take a seat, the steak here is classy,” He waves two fingers in the air and my food is put in front of me immediately.I try to put an air of confidence, I really try but with his eyes scrutinizing every hair on my skin I can’t seem to
Leo "Excuse me Alpha, this letter was addressed to you." Beta Richard handed over a faded white envelope tied in a red ribbon to me. l closed the ledger in my other hand and glanced thoroughly as l unfolded and read its content. Mr Alien Noah, the founder of Mason's corporation invited us to his 49th Birthday celebration. Tsk. "Throw it away on your way out." "Yes, Alpha," l passed it back to him and continued with working on the pack's daily activities. I didn't bother raising my head up when a familiar voice walked into my office. "What is that about, Leo?" "Nothing important, l don't see why humans are very sentimental and are bent on celebrating their birthdays every year and throwing unnecessary parties,” l answered her, still fixing my eyes on the papers in front of me. It went eerily silent as if l was talking to myself. l lifted my head up to gaze at Delta Zena, my younger sister reading the content of the letter. Her black wavy long hair fell beautifully on both sides
Mason. "Thank you," l said to my secretary as she put a cup of coffee Infront of me. I’ve barely been on the laptop for a few hours but I'm already feeling drowsy and dizzy. After standing for hours for the New Serum Promotion, my body aches badly. l spent a lot of time on it as l had to do it over and over again. The ringing sound of the telephone snapped my attention, causing me to place back my coffee cup to its saucer. "Mason?” A familiar sonorous voice came from the other end. "Father.” l answered in a low voice. "The venue and her picture are being sent to your email. I have set up a date for both of you, she is very important. She is the second daughter of the former prime minister and it will be a good thing if you can get her on our side,” My father firmly says, concluding everything even though it was without my consent. "l understand, Father." “Also, have your media personnel fired. You don't look that good on the latest news, you can't be looking like the world is ag
Mason. Kai is a very lively yet calm kid. l smile happily at how he tittered out excitedly over us spending time together since we don't get to do this all time. l would be happy too if my father ever wants to spend time with me like this. We got to the city's biggest mall in a few minutes and l waited patiently for Kai to unbuckle his seatbelt. "You can wait in the car, David." "No sir, l can't do that." "I'm not asking you to, I'm telling you." " I'm only doing my job, Sir." "How long have you known me for, David?" " 10 years Sir.” “And you should know l hate going around with you and four others trailing at my back like l committed murder? Like I'm the most wanted criminal alive in this city. Look, I'm not going for an official gathering. I just want to spend time with my son?" I expressed, rolling my eyes annoyingly. David is my longest bodyguard, he is also my driver. Maybe because my father assigned him to me personally when l was 16 years old. "Let's go, Kai.” "You k
Leo. I put both my hands in my pocket as l went on my heels. Zena and My mother were already walking toward the main entrance. "Mother?” "Oh, my baby?" She bellowed, pulling me in for a warm hug. "Have missed you so much, Son." "We saw each other some days ago, Mother.” "It doesn't matter, I always want to be with you," She says, caressing my face like she needs to be sure that I'm okay. It had been years since my mother moved away from the Packhouse but she still visits the Pack as the Luna a few days a week as her responsibility Zena yawned rudely and made her way inside the house. "Let's reserve hugs and pleasantries for later, I'm hungry." "Zena, you should learn to behave and compose yourself. You're a woman for goodness sake.” "Save your scolding for later, Mother. Let's eat,” Zena replied back, drawing a chair out to take her seat. "Come this way mother, l made your favourite dishes." "Oh my, Leo my son. Oh you have done so much, l hope your sister learns from you.
Mason. I kept gazing at the mirror with so much patience and toleration. l closed my eyes tight and took a deep breath trying not to get frustrated or get overwhelmed by the situation. Which is what my father does on a normal day. I shouldn't be surprised yet it has me fuming angrily. I switched on the faucet and splashed some water on my face to ease my mind. If l didn't receive a call back there would Andrew have gone ahead with it? We have met a few times and it wouldn't kill me if I just have sex with him. Wouldn't it be too sudden? Maybe it's his way of expressing his love and feeling to his other half but he hasn't told me he likes me either. And if l don't try it or do what he wants l wouldn't know. I'm really tired of having to try like this, maybe if I confront him about it he might tell me how he feels about me. But what is the point? I haven't been home for years and staying there for four days wouldn't kill me. So I took myself back to the lounge. “Hey?" I chirped at

Mason“Go ahead and take Kai inside,” Leo said, handing over a sleeping Kai to Rachel.He walks back to me as I struggle to climb up the stairs, “Let me carry you,” His eyes are shining with confidence.I swatted his hands away, “We still have bags in the car and it seems like we are going to have a downpour.”Leo reached his fingers in my hair, tangling them quietly. I studied his features, loving every bit of how God created him.“Your body is still recovering sugar, let me help you.”“Let’s stand outside for a little bit,” I lean on his shoulder, shutting my eyes as I breathe in the fresh air whisking before the storm. The sky was covered with dark clouds with no night stars, just heavy rumbling and lightning.Leo takes out his jacket and wraps around my body, “It’s cold out here,” He pulls me close to his body, his hand resting on my waist as we stare at the trees swa
Mason.“It’s time to do your homework, Kai Kai,” Rachel slowly announces to Kai, tapping his shoulder.He doesn’t lift his face up from his game or answer to his nanny.Rachel patiently squats down, “Kai, enough with playing games. You have homework due for tomorrow,” She gently takes the mobile phone from him.A bad idea because Kai wails up, throwing himself on the floor. He screams, his eyes filled with tears, “Leave me alone!”Rachel’s mouth is open in shock, “Kai, you have been playing games since you got back from school. You have to do your homework.”“I don’t want to, I don’t want to, give me my phone,” Kai yells, sobbing.“Alright Rhoda, please let me call back,” I hung up on the video call with my secretary. She was giving me an insight on how much the New Serum is doing well in the market, and how everybody loves it. They’re no side effects and it hydrates the skin so well.
Leo“Why did you invite me to a place like this?” Nolan looks around the dimly dirty bar. A very cheap one at the downtown of Lauderhill. The room reeks of cigarettes and cheap booze. A man is making out with two girls at the other end. A drunk man is throwing money at the bartender, disturbing the customers who are trying to get drinks for themselves.“Take a seat,” I tell him drunkenly, gulping down some no name beer. This was my nineteen bottle for the evening.“I didn’t take you as someone who would know a place like this. You made me drive two hours to some trenches? And how much have you been drinking?”“I can handle my alcohol, it’s nothing. Drink with me,” I pass him a bottle.“I think one of us should have a clear head, we are in the middle of nowhere.”“Calm your horse, this is a great place where humans indulge in earthly pleasures. Nothing can go wrong and we are only drinking and talking.”Nolan stares at me, unimpressed, “And you know this place how?”“I’m the Alpha of
Mason Two Days Later“How are you feeling?” Doctor Raphael asks me, eyeing me suspiciously as if daring me to lie.“I’m alright, just bored and I hate hospitals,” I complained, wincing as he came close to me with a syringe again.“Sit still.”I nod as he gives me an injection on my shoulder, “When does it end?”“Luckily that’s your last dosage for now.”“For now? But I feel alright.”“Yes, you’re recovering very well but I’m not discharging you anytime soon, you will have to deal with it. You still need bed rest and you are still under observation and moreover you can start eating on your own from now on with limited choices of oatmeal and rice, banana and apple but I don't recommend you moving around yet. Just keep your head elevated as much as possible.”“Thank you.”“Hmm, I will take it that the number you gave me to call will provide you a caregiver?”“Yeah, David. He is my bodyguard, he is close like a family.”“I haven’t seen that mysterious handsome guy around, I
Mason“I’ll be waiting outside, Mason,” Leo stands up from his seat as the doctor steps through the door.A bitter laugh escapes me knowing I will never have Leo’s full heart. This guy takes me for a fool, Leo is fucking with my intelligence, he is stepping on my self eesteem. He is making all of my life into a bitter joke.The way I feel, I don’t dare to look at myself in the mirror.“Leo, if you walk out of that door. It’s over between the both of us,” I solemnly said, feeling terrible and deeply terrified.Terrified because I know Leo can choose to walk out of that door and everything we have been through together will mean nothing, it will suddenly just end. I feel terrible, it seems my big body reduced in size to a smaller version of myself at how Leo’s physically shivered at my statement, his eyes are wide, piercing through me.I don’t dare look away, I look back at him, my eyes sharp. It is now or never. I need to get Leo to tell me the truth, there is no way Andrew would appr
