Novel & Cerita Nathaniel X Marc

My previous boss was right—it was difficult to resist taking the easy route and it may have been a matter of time before I caved to the desire to have a better life. “Don’t think like that. Your dignity is not something you can get back when you lose. You might find yourself unable to sleep at night.” She might have spoken all that encouraging talk but it wasn’t very encouraging. “Hazel!” A voice boomed, which made Julia and I jump in surprise. Markos stood a distance away looking at us with a weird look on his face. How long had he been standing there? Did he hear what we were saying? I straightened my back and faced him while Julia scrambled away. Everyone feared him for a reason. He was i

“It's unlikely in such marriages, but I saw the way that you two looked at one another.” Natalia didn’t look at me, but her hand tightened slightly on the strap of her purse. “That’s not something I need to share,” she said simply. “I’m just asking,” I said. “I mean, if he is… that would be something, right? You know, in a world like this one, where mates are rarely even found.” She said nothing. So I pushed, reckless now. “So… what’s it like? You know… doing it?” She finally looked at me.

Nathaniel walked over to me, leaning against the back of the sofa. He looked relaxed, the lethal edge of the "Sun King" softened by the genuine warmth in the room. "The best part," Nathan said, looking at me, "was the dance. Mark’s eyes were bulging so hard I thought they were going to pop out and roll across the floor. He still hasn't connected 'Ava Reed' with the woman who just sat on my lap and made out with me in front of the entire West Coast elite." "He's too busy worrying about his bank accounts," I said, leaning my head back against Nathan’s stomach.

Ariel gave him a sharp glare. He raised his hands. “I’m just saying. You are her daughter.” Nathaniel sighed. “Okay, okay. Who is this guy?” “All I know is his name is Marcus,” Ariel said with a grin. “And he’s everyone’s crush in college. But look at me,I've got the Hawthorne features. I'm cute, tall, pretty, hot. I am everything. And on top of that” she leaned forward, smirking, “I’m extremely bad and extremely naughty.”

Nathaniel, not wanting to be rude and knowing that he will need to negotiate the terms of their alliance, Nathaniel nods his head and pulls out the chair sitting down next to her. They then make small talk, talking about the Prides and what he has in mind for change, her opinion on his plans and he even notes some of her suggestions. Over the next hour or so with the distraction of the conversation and the meal, Xana takes any and every chance she finds to touch and skim her fingers over his exposed skin.

I found Nathan in the living room, sitting on the couch with his laptop open, he looked up when I entered, his dark eyes meeting mine. "Marcus wants to talk to both of us," I said, holding up my phone. Nathan's jaw tightened but he nodded, he closed his laptop and moved over on the couch, making space for me to sit beside him, I sat down stiffly, keeping as much distance between us as possible while still being in frame. "Hey man," Marcus's voice came through the phone. "How's it going? Are you two behaving?" "Everything's fine," Nathan said smoothly, and his voice was so normal and friendly that I almost believed him myself.

Nathan says and I blush slightly. "Don't be embarrassed sweetheart, it means we did our job well," Marcus says and I laugh a little. "Let's get home, I'm shattered," Nathan yawns and gets out of the bed. I see the dark red marks where his chest harness was so I kiss them gently. He smiles and kisses me back while Marcus gathers our clothes. "Break it up, I'm not ready for another round," Marcus grumbles.

When Nathaniel disconnected, Marcus exhaled. “They’ll submit,” Marcus said. “But they’ll resent it.” Nathaniel shrugged slightly. “Resentment is cheaper than scandal.” Lillian studied him. “You’re not doing this because it’s safe,” she said. “No,” he replied. “Then why,” she asked, though she already knew. Nathaniel looked at her as if the answer was obvious and still difficult to say. “Because I won’t build our future on the same kind of silence that killed your past,” he said.

Nathan is becoming more upset the longer he is looking at Cathy and Josh together. "Why are you looking as if you tasted something sour? This is what you wanted, right? She will no longer pester you. You can get back to your boring self again. It's a win win situation" Xavier reminded Nathan. Behind Nathan's back, Xavier and Adam fist pumped eachother.

Nova whined, causing me to laugh. Unbraiding my hair I ran my fingers through it as Nathan drove toward a pancake house. “Hope you all are hungry because this place has unlimited stacks,” he chuckled while patting his stomach. “Hey, Nathan can I ask you why you didn't mark her when you mated with Lexi,” Nolan questioned bluntly. Shocked, I eyed him and gasped when Nathan replied. “I am waiting until she can mark me back then I will mark her and knot her.” “Knot?!”
