It takes her a little while to realize that what she is doing isn't working, so she turns her attention back to Jade.
"Alpha Miss, what can I do for you today?"
"We are here for her today. I was thinking, some of the top up with a little fringe hanging down and then have light curls flowing down the back..."
It is then that she turns her attention to me. I watch in the mirror at her face as it gets that normal look of disgust before she covers it. She then undoes the bun I have placed at my neck, she runs her fingers through my hair making me shiver as I continue to watch her in the mirror and still see the disgust in her eyes and the way she is trying not to touch me very much. She goes through the steps of washing my hair, she then partly dries it, gives it a little trim, and then does what Jade asked her to do.
She chatted to Jade the whole time while occasionally looking over at Zaire, who was sitting on one of the chairs by the door
Once back at the mansion, Zaire carries my bags up to Zachariah's room while Jade heads to the kitchen for something to eat. Zaire repeats what he asked outside the hairdressers."You never answered me. Is that how you are treated here?"I sigh and hang my dress for later on the door of the closet. "Yes, even the ones inside the mansion...""Why haven't you said anything?""And what would telling anyone really have done?"He looks at me but doesn't say anything else, putting a couple of shopping bags onto the table by the window. He surprises me by moving and standing in front of me. He then gets down on one knee, lowers his head, and says,"Luna Yasmine, I pledge my loyalty to you, and I will protect you with my life."I lift my hand and put it softly on his shoulder. "Zaire, your loyalty is to Zachariah, not me!"Zaire lifts his head and looks at me with a smile on his face. "My loyal
He steps up to me and places his hand on my cheek, and whispers, "You look breathtaking!!""Thank you!"I blush shyly. I can never get over how he makes me feel whenever he touches me. He gives me a quick, gentle kiss and then turns to Raphael. "Is the car ready?""Yes Alpha! It is parked out front, there will be another car following with your guards in it for the night...""Raphael, I don't need guards. I have told you that before..." Zachariah says with a slight growl,"That is true, but you are going out with our future Luna and you need to be protected..." Now I growl a little at him. I didn't even know I could. I step out of Zachariah's hand and walk up behind Raphael. I take him by surprise, grabbing him, sweeping his legs, and making him end up on the floor in front of the fridge. I put my foot lightly on his throat, stating,"So you don't believe after all your retraining and my confrontat
I melt into him as he deepens the kiss. I don't realize that we are back until Zachariah starts to move, getting out of the car, still holding me in his lap, and then carrying me bridal style into the mansion. He doesn't break the kiss as he makes his way through the mansion and up to his room.He opens the door and steps inside, shutting the door behind him with his foot. He then moves further into the room and slowly lowers my legs, placing my feet carefully on the floor, but still holding me tight up against him. He then slides his hands up my back to my shoulders and then down my arms, hooking his fingers into the short sleeves of my dress and taking it with them. Once his hands reach mine, he lets go of my dress and it falls the rest of the way to the floor. I hesitantly lift my shaky hands to his chest and slowly start to undo the buttons on his shirt.Once I have undone all the buttons, I slide my hands under the material going up his chest and over his shoulder
He smiles as he then sits up, wrapping his arms around me, pulling me tighter to him so that I am straddling his thighs closer against him so that I can feel his excitement rub up against me. He then kisses me, first soft and gentle, but it isn't long before he deepens it, making it more and more dominant while wrapping his arms tighter and tighter around me...I wrap my arms around his neck and return his kiss; I let out a soft moan as he slightly moves his hips, but he then lets out a low growl and gets to his feet, still holding me tight to him but allowing my feet to touch the ground. Breaking the kiss, he looks over my shoulder. I feel a blush of embarrassment cover my face, so I bury it in his chest. I don't hear who is behind me, but I do hear Zachariah as he whispers into my ear,"Work beckons, I will see you later my dear..."He gives me one last fleeting kiss as he lets me go, steps back from me, and then walks around me, picking up his shirt as he hea
I pull away from him and head into the mansion. Once inside, I make my way up to our room; I go into the closet and pull out a blouse and some jeans. I then walk out of the closet and into the bathroom. I close the door behind me and turn on the shower. As the water warms, I strip off my fighting pants, my underwear, and my top. I then step under the water, allowing the heat to seep into my muscles. I rinse and wash my hair. I jump as two arms wrap around me, pulling me back tight up against a hard chest. I sigh as tingles run through me as he glides his hands up and down my body. I lift my arms and wrap them around his neck above my head as he places soft kisses on my neck and whispers, "Yasmine, you do matter and you were right, I have put it off long enough and you need to start learning what it is to be my mate, my packs Luna and then the Luna of all Luna's... We also need to discuss the change..." I let out a soft moan as he continues to kiss and whisper, bu
They didn't need telling twice as one of them fumbles with the door. When he finally manages to get it open, they all exit rather quickly. When Zachariah looks down at me again, his eyes are back to normal and he squats down to be at eye level with me, seeming to go back to the beast I was with before we entered his office. "Is that what you get all the time?" I don't answer as get up out of the chair and move around his desk, heading for the door. Before I leave, I face him with my hands on my hips and then answer, "So, Zachariah... What was it that finally got under your skin? Was it when he said I didn't belong in here with you? Was it when he made me a servant? Was it when he called me beautiful? Or was it that he called me a human?... Oh! Wait, I know what it was and it was none of those, was it?" I take a step back as he takes a step towards me."It was sharing me... Nothing else mattered to you until he practically asked you to share me
I must have fallen asleep on the cushion out on the balcony because when I wake up, I am in bed with tingles running all over me from where Zachariah has his arms wrapped tightly around me. I carefully move, making him growl,"It's early. Where are you going?""To the bathroom! Unless you want me to wet the bed!"I smile as he then kisses the back of my shoulder and relaxes his arms, allowing me to wriggle out of his arms, off the bed, and then walk into the bathroom. I use the toilet, wash my hands and splash my face.I know I asked Zachariah yesterday if I could learn my apparent place by his side, but if the meeting was anything to go on, I don't belong there, so I think I will go back to my fighting.When I exit the bathroom, I move over to the bed and smile as I hear him snoring. I then make my way into the closet and put on some light-fighting clothes. I pick up a towel as I slip silently out of the room and down into the kitchen.
I am a little dazed when he pulls back from the kiss and he whispers, "You are no servant, Yasmine... Have dinner with me tomorrow night?"I look into his intense grey eyes, "I don't know...""Please??"He moves his hand to my cheek again, making me flinch. I whisper through the pain, "I will think about it!""Thank you. Now, who did this?""It's okay, I was asking for it...""That is no excuse. Who hit you?"I lower my eyes and whisper, "Raphael!"I feel his touch disappear and when I look up; he is gone. I sigh and relax against the wall. No matter how hard I try, I can't fight him whenever he touches me. I wipe off the tear that escapes and brush the bruise. I push myself off of the wall and head into the kitchen. I walk over to the freezer and pull out a small icepack; I close the freezer, move over, and lean on the counter, placing the ice on my cheek.I sigh as the cold seeps into the heat of my cheek. It is then t
