Chapter 657
Beau
I don’t really want to go to the Cranwell house but Lanis wants me there and I would do anything for him. I like his family because they brought him to me. No matter what, they will always be the reason why Lanis is who he is today and even though his father has come a long way from how he used to be, I know he still doesn’t like me.
I gave him grandchildren but it will not be easy to just get rid of that hate that he had for my kind. Things are different now. He is cordial with me and he loves the twins so much. That is the only reason why I am still able to welcome him to the community.
“You ready?’’ Lanis peers his head into the door but doesn’t enter.
I put on my jacket and nod slightly.
I know it is going to be a long day. This is the first wake up ceremony I have attended—never thought I would be saying that.
Belis wanted a break and I think it will be a good change for him.
I know that Lanis is the main reason why they are waking him up now. He misses his brother and I guess I can understand that. It has been six years after all. In vampire years, that is not such a long time but I can still understand. The kids are growing right in front of our eyes. They will reach an age where they will literally stop ageing. This is new for us but we will have to cross that bridge when we get there. The bridge when they will find their wolves.
I am going to be there for them all through it—I went through it and I want it to be smoothe sailing for them. I don’t want them to have any hurdles in their lives. I want them to know that they can trust me and Lanis. I want them to be able to talk to us about anything.
“Yeah,’’ I walk out of the room and he sighs loudly.
He is being a drama queen.
It is still so early.
I don’t know why he feels the need to be the first one to get to the house. Lanis is too punctual, it is one thing about him that I can’t help but nag about. I like to take my time. I like to do things at my own pace—with no pressure.
Lanis likes to pressure me.
I fucking love him and that is the only reason why he is able to get away with pressuring me “it is just noon. Why do we have to get there on time?’’ I ask him.
Deep down, he knows that they will not wake Belis and Dru up without him present. He knows that but he likes to be the one waiting for everyone.
“We are supposed to be there at noon. I have been waiting for you since ten in the morning.” He scowls at me.
I run my hands through my hair “Give your man a break. I had a late-night,’’ I remind him. I didn’t sleep till 3 in the morning.
“I was there. I had a late-night too. Do I have to remind you that it was your fault?’ he raises a brow in accusation.
I look away from him but there is a smile on my face.
“Do I have to remind you that you had a good time too?’’ I take my turn in raising my brows. He chuckles.
“I beg to differ. I told you to go to bed. I told you that you will give me a difficult time in waking you up,’’ he accuses.
“Oh, I don’t think I remember you stopping me,’’ I move closer to him until he is pressed to the wall. His eyes open and there is a flash as he watches me.
“We have to go, don’t start this now,’’ he tells me, in a stutter.
I am enjoying this a little too much. I like the responses I get from him. I like that he is always a flustering mess with me. It has been six years and his responses to me are still the same as the first day I touched him. Nothing has changed—if anything has changed, it has only intensified.
“You are not stopping me now,’’ I smile teasingly.
He pushes into me slowly and I watch him as he closes his eyes. I know Lanis. He wants me just as much as I want him and he doesn’t want to stop me. He just wants to act like he is resisting so that he can push it all on me and blame me for us being late.
Just like he just did about last night.
“Tell me to stop, use your words and I will,’’ I smile wickedly, enjoying this a little too much. I would give anything to fuck him right here, right now.
He doesn’t talk as I lean into him and rest my lips on the crook of his neck. He lets out a soft moan as I taste his skin slowly.
His moan gets loudly as I suck on his neck, grinding into him.
“Stop me, come on.”
He remains quiet as I slide my hand into his shirt. His body is cold, just as it usually is. All I need to do is feel him to know that he is mine.
Mine.
My wolf growls as I tilt my head to the side and press my lips to his. This kiss is with more force than it needs to be but the excitement is still there as he responds to me longingly. My hands grab his waist as I try to get him closer to me, his cries out as I deepen the kiss, sliding my tongue into his mouth.
“You fuckers need to stop wasting all this time,’’ Darrien’s voice comes from the kitchen as he shouts out to us.
This gets Lanis out of his trance and he pushes me away from him “Fuck,’’ he exclaims. He sounds so sexy.
I don’t want to go anywhere.
