Chapter 114
Shackled (The Lord Series) by Amy T
114. Alekos Angelâs brows furrow as she studies the house in front of her.
The weak sunlight bounces on the Oâring of the choker adorning her delicate neck, the magnetic cuffs around her wrist shine, and the four diamonds on her ting sparkle, reminding me that I did not dream of Agapi mou saying yes to our marriage proposal.
I was scared that even after trying to show her how much we love her and how sorry we are for fucking up things with her, she would still decide to say no to us. Not that I would ever let her go, not when my heart, soul, entire being belong to her, not when our baby is growing in her belly, but I want her to be with us because she wants us. Because she loves us. And she does.
Agapi mou. My love.
For years, I called her Agapi, but she is not only love, she is my love. The only woman I have ever loved, the one that is mine for all eternity.
In just a few more days, we will take her to the Blood Lodge and pierce her so that our demons never consume us.
âI thought we were going home,â she sounds unsure.
I glance at Reyes and Stefan. It took a while for Reyes and I to forgive Stefan for putting Angel in so much danger and lying to us, but the link binding us together as bloodâbrothers is stronger than any wedge that can come between us.
âThe last time I was in the city, I saw this house and got curious about it and wanted to see it, but with the police wanting to arrest Reyes and you still in danger, I didnât have time.â While Carlos is still out there, she is still in danger, but Rueben and his bloodâ
brothers are looking for him. It wonât be long now until he is brought to justice for torturing hellstar. âSince we were in the neighborhood, I thought it was a good idea to see it now.â
Angel wraps her arms around herself, her petite body shivering because of the cold, and I snake an arm around her waist, hoping my body heat will be enough to warm her. Reyes puts his arms around her shoulders. âWhat I want is to go home, have a cup of hot cocoa while we snuggle on the sofa, and watch TV.â She looks at the sky. âAnd it will snow soon,â she complains. âI miss the warm weather of Bora Bora.â
December is very cold in Veross City, from time to time, a snowstorm would force everyone to remain inside for days. Not a bad idea, as I got used to spending all my time with Angel. Unfortunately, I have to return to work, but I will drastically reduce my working hours, not wanting to be apart from her for long stretches of time. And when the baby comes, she will need lots of help, as we donât expect her to take care of our child twentyâfour hours a day, and we donât want to hire a nanny. With four parents, our child wonât need a stranger to raise him. Or her.
âWe will warm you soon enough,â Stefan says, and I agree.
Her cheeks turn slightly pink. âYou are sex addicts.â
âWe suffer from hypersexuality,â Reyes agrees. âGood thing we have a hellstar who is our cum bucket.â
Angel huffs, but she canât hide from us how much she enjoys being used by us. Reyes and I are slowly training her to be our submissive in and out of the bedroom, but we are not rushing anything, as we have all eternity with her.
âI donât think the owner will be happy with us snooping around,â Angel makes a valid point.
+10 Bonu 114. Alekos I pull out the keys from my pocket and say, âIt so happens I know the owner, and he is fine with us looking around,â and go to unlock the front door.
Reyes and Stefan lead Angel inside, and I follow them. âBut why are we visiting random houses when we have so much to do for the Piercing Ceremony? And we need to unpack all of our stuff,â she complains. We returned last night, and we left all our luggage in the middle of the living room, giving Reyes a panic attack. âYou know how much Reyes hates untidy places, and his apartment looks like it has been hit by a hurricane with all of our luggage all over the place.â
A smile appears on my face. I canât help feeling happy knowing that I finally have all that I always wantedâa family with the woman I love and a baby on the way. We decided not to find out the gender and wait until Angel gives birth, we donât care if we are having a son or a daughter. It would be easier if we had a son, but we can always try again, as I want more than one child.
Angel looks around the house but doesnât seem impressed. âCan we go home now?â
Reyes grins. âWe are home.â
The house I inherited from my parents was the place that I always envisioned I would be raising my family, but remembering that we broke the bond with Angel there made my bloodâbrothers and I decide to look for another place to call home. Plus, Emily lived in that house, and now all the memories I have of it are tainted. I am not selling it, as it belongs to my family and I will pass it down to my children, but I donât want to live in it anymore. And Angel deserves a house and a Lair that never belonged to another Lady before her.
Her head tilts to the side. âWhat do you mean? Your apartment is our home.â
âWell, we want a big family, and Reyesâ apartment doesnât have enough space for all the children we will have,â I point out.
Angel turns pale. âWhat do we mean by all the children we will have? I am not doing this again. My back hurts, and my feet are swollen all the time,â she complains.
Her being pregnant makes me even more attracted to her. And it is not only me, as Reyes and Stefan are practically on herâwe are inside herâall the time. She complained a few times that she was sore, but we donât want to stop showing. her how much we desire her.
âAnd thatâs why we give you a massage every dayâto make you feel better,â Stefan reminds her.
âStill no,â Angel is being stubborn.
âAh, Agapi mou, like you have any other choice than to do what we tell you, but it is cute to see you try to protest,â I chuckle and take her hand in mine. âLet me show you our new Lair.â
The house does not have an elevator as it originally belonged to a family of normal humans who never lived here and never did any renovationsâI purchased it anonymously from them as I donât want anyone to know where I will be moving my family. By the time we reach the top floor, Angel is breathing heavily. Maybe making the elevator a top priority would be a good idea. Or we can carry her up the stairs.
The Lair has one big master bedroom with a complete bathroom, a living room double the size of the one in Reyesâ apartment, and four additional rooms we can use for the children we will have.
+10 Bont 114. Alekos âYou can decorate the way you like it and even modify it if thatâs what you want,â I tell her. She seems to like the idea of transforming this place into our forever home. âWe will stay in Reyesâ apartment as long as you want, but eventually, we will move here.â
She sighs. âSo that you all know, I really love that apartment. It is so...cozy. And it has a sunroom.â
Reyes has her look at the back garden from the window. âWe can have one here as well. A pool, too. The garden is big enough.â
âAnd we can make this house as cozy as you want. How about we install a real fireplace in our room?â Stefan suggests.
âI can never win against you,â she gives in. âAnd I like the idea about the fireplace, but maybe in the living room. We can hang Christmas stockings and take photos in front of it.â She smiles. âAnd the Christmas tree next to it, with all the gifts under it. I have to go shopping soon. Christmas is next week, and we need to start decorating the apartment.â
I like how excited she is about the upcoming holidays.
