I slowly sat up and rested my head on the backrest of the couch as I fluttered my eyes open. My attention was drawn to the window, where the ocher sunrays of the afternoon were seeping through and bathing the living room a glow. "Ugh" I groaned, aware that I had overslept and that my sore back was the result of my uncomfortably curled-up position. Nevertheless, I'd like to blame my lack of productivity today mostly. After being motionless for a while, I finally made the decision to get up and pick up my phone off the nightstand. Three o'clock in the afternoon had already come and gone. I went to the sink and drink water while my fingers thrum on the table as I think of what I can do today. Anything productive if possible. Afterward, I began to consider wifi. Before going to the library, I had the intention of searching the internet for a possible clue. Not today though, since Lara and Traian were both there, I'm sure. No, I refuse to see them together. I can prevent it by not sto
He chuckled as he adjusted the camera strap on his shoulder and took in the breathtaking scenery all around us. "I usually prefer my photographs to be devoid of any humans and to solely include trees, nature, and the sky.""So why did you want me to be on it? If you say so, I can actually take a step back. I don't mind because I'm planning to go too, so it won't be a problem for me”"I don't know why, but watching you admire nature with those green eyes of yours makes me feel as though I can see the world through them.” He uttered those remarks with such seriousness, there was truth oozing from his words.He was such a well-spoken and deep guy, and I find myself admiring that. I also note that if he were to meet Anna, there is no doubt that they would click because my friend was such a perceptive person. We both are.I gave a quick nod before beginning to walk while he walked beside me. “Then is it okay to claim that you merely use me to see nature differently? ", I teasingly said.He
My chest tightened at the sight of them, but I ignored it and returned my attention to Traian's face, "Hey" "We meet again," Lara remarked, warmly beaming at me, which she hadn't done all morning. "Right," I said. Her gaze was drawn to Adam and then to my hands. I followed her gaze and quickly released my grip on Adam. She flashed a fake and knowing grin. "Who exactly is he? Is he your date today? " she asked. I noticed Traian's hands tightening around her waist. But I was too preoccupied with registering Lara's words, which led to the absurd conclusion. It didn't sit well with me. "No, we just happened to cross paths on our way," I replied dismissively. "That's a good excuse," she remarked, grinning at me and enthusiastically adding. "I know a great diner where we can all eat." “Are you sure?” Traian said in a gentle voice as he faced Lara. His eyes gave concern. I averted my gaze after they exchanged those few seconds of staring, as Claire and the others had. They appear to
"Do you want to order now?" Michael asked politely, catching my attention. I nodded since, with the exception of Kate's, I usually order the same thing at every diner I visit. "I'd like a club sandwich and an iced tea, please." "I'll have burgers and an iced drink," Adam remarked as he placed the menu down. His gaze was fixed on Lara. Michael nodded, writing down our orders on a piece of paper, and turned to face Lara, who smiled at him. "We'll get the same one we usually get," Lara replied softly. "You're a regular here?" Adam questioned, echoing my thoughts. Lara glanced at me before turning to face Adam and saying, "Yes, Traian and I usually eat here, which is why Michael had memorized our favorite dish here." When a pang of jealousy slips into my heart, I discreetly take a deep breath and glance around. Stop, there's no reason for me to feel that way. I tried to look elsewhere, anything to divert my attention, but it was futile when Adam asked a direct question once more. "
We finally stopped and I moved away from him only to find him staring at me. As he examined me from head to toe, his jaw was locked. I move away since the intensity of his gaze on my body is making me feel uneasy. Only then did I notice the black ranger on the side. This was the car we took that night when we went to his place. His place was a freaking castle. I turned to face him and took off his coat, handing it to him.I said, "Thank you for this, but I can handle…..." As I looked around, I realized that I had no idea where I was.He tilted his head and cast his gaze over me, saying, "Handle yourself? I doubt that."The intensity of his gaze caused me to shift uneasily on my feet, though not in a bad manner.He took the coat from her and nodded, "Yeah, I gave you this to cover your chest but I think you don't need this anymore because we are alone now," he remarked smugly, "I kind of like you this way.""What are you talking about?" I said annoyed and faced the glass window of the
I sighed and took off my boots, entering the room with only my socks on. Even though there was already a small amount of dirt where Traian walked in, I don't want to scuff up the spotless floor of this lovely house. As soon as I walked inside, the interior astounded me. It was really neat, clean, and organized, with minimal furnishings. It is a mix of simplicity and sophistication. Such a lovely and cozy place. I scanned the area in search of the restroom while debating whether or not to ask Traian where it was. Till the rain stopped and I was out of his sight, it would be best to keep conversation with this man to a minimum. Traian came out of the kitchen and stared at me, which caused my stream of thinking to pause. I couldn't help but notice how fast his gaze swept over my body. Heck, I can feel my body reacting to every movement he makes. I am feeling so wicked right now and bad. So much for being a bad girl. "You are welcome to use the restroom in my room," he said, indicating
We began eating in silence. He finished first while I took my time savoring the delicious food in my mouth. As I savored the last of my steak, I said, "This is really wonderful. Where did you learn to cook? ” I started to ask, simply because I want to. I felt tempted to ask him a question and strike up a conversation with him. “From my mother. She was a good cook and she makes sure I learn all her dishes” I said, "She sounds nice." With a smile on his face, he said, "She is.” His smile was beautiful enough for me to want to see it again. His muscles were tensing up against the shirt he was wearing as my gaze moved over his body. God, a man shouldn't look this handsome. I imagined him naked. Hard. Muscular. Such strength. The thought of him naked once more and with my kisses on his body—something I didn't do the first time—made my cheeks flush. I cleared my throat and put my fingers on the stem of my wine glass, bringing it to my lips. I shuffled in my seat, clamped my thighs t
Traian My want to claim her intensified as I sensed her desire. She couldn't explain the reason for the overwhelming attraction toward me that she felt. She didn't say it out loud, but I still understood what she meant. Her pussy was wet and sensitive, and she questioned why she was aroused—something I could definitely smell and approve of. I watched her every move while she was seated across from me, wriggling on the chair with her little nipples as hard as jewels under the shirt I gave her. It was mine, and the scent of me on her body makes my wolf and I pleased. I allowed my eyes to avert from her face and to her neck. My teeth gnawed at the idea of piercing her flesh and leaving my mark for all guys to see. Mine. Before I met her earlier, I was aware that he had stayed. I can't even begin to express how much relief came over me when her sister called to tell me the good news. But seeing him with that person brought out a possessive part in me. But when I saw him with that h
