Chapter 41

Tales Of The Demoness I can’t express the amount of joy I feel when I see the crestfallen look on Janet’s face as she realizes Reagan and I are leaving. I had packed up some clothes and necessities to take along, but Reagan hadn’t even picked a thing along with him. I was guessing he had planned this earlier on, or his things were already where we’re going.

He hasn’t told me anything about our ‘new home, nor has he talked much since the ride here. He must still be mad at me or pissed even, as he hasn’t glanced at me that much. But I’m not worried. He’ll come around, so for now, I’m just excited I’ll have him all to myself. Though, there’s still the fact that he’ll still be working with Janet.

“Where are you guys going?” Speaking of the devil, she has her eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she watches Adrian take my duffel bag out.

Lexi wasn’t around as it seems she isn’t back yet, but Danny is also in the sitting room, staring at us in question.

“Ellie and I will be staying somewhere else. I’ll see you tomorrow at the next meeting.”

Reagan briefly narrates before we left through the elevator.

With a smirk on my lips, I wiggle my fingers in a wave, before the doors slides close, at a devastated Janet who was glaring daggers at me. And beside her is Danny, who rolls his eyes at us before walking away.

I turn to look at Reagan only to see his scowl still on as he stares ahead. I hate his distant behavior. Before, he couldn’t even rip his eyes away from me even when mine clashes with his.

I wrap my hands around his bicep so he would look down at me, where I was pouting and fluttering my eyelids up at him, innocently.

“What’s wrong?” I softly asked as he stares down at me with hooded eyes. Even though not smiling, he still looked nothing less to an Adonis. And he smells divine like always.

“Would you have given that guy your number if I wasn’t there to stop you?” He suddenly asks, and I try as much as possible to hide my amused smile. I had suspected that had caused his foul mood, and it’s a breath of fresh air to see he really wanted me all to himself.

“Of course not.” I place a kiss on his bicep, even with the leather jacket he has on. “I mean, he was cute and all that... A low warning growl resonates from him, and I bite my lip this time to hide the smile. “But, why would I need someone cute when I’ve got a tasty knockout all to myself” I say, trying to inflate his ego. But I’m sure he already knows what he is.

He smirks in satisfaction before leaning down to whisperinto my ear.”Nice. But you’re still in a whole lot of trouble when we get back.”

That wasn’t what I was expecting.

“What did I do?!” I can only ask before the doors slide open and he walks out. I huff before following after to his parked car. And as we hop in behind, Adrian drives off to a location still unknown to me.

Idrop my duffel bag, staring at the dimly lit room. Another penthouse, it seems, as this one’s located at the top of a hotel, but it’s not as large as the one we came from. And when! look out the window, the view here isn’t as grand. Either way, I love it since no one else was here. And by no one, I mean a dark-haired demoness.

When I walk into the wardrobe, I already see men’s clothing on one side, and they smell like my mate.

“You already had this planned before, didn’t you?” I ask, turning around to find Reagan pulling out his shoe as he sits on the bed.

“Well, considering how much you’ve been whining lately, I decided to get prepared.” He shrugs, causing me to narrow my eyes at him.

“Oh, I’m sorry if I have been annoying you with all my whining.” I glare at him, hating how he made me sound like an irritating girlfriend.

He sighs as he stands up and walks over to me. I just don’t get why you hate Janet so much when she’s been nothing but sweet towards you.”

Sweet?!” I utter the word with venom dripping in my voice. Balling both my fists beside me, I walk up to him, keeping eye contact and letting my anger show fort. “She promised to make me watch as she snatched you from me,” I announce, and his eyebrows droop in surprise. “So tell me, Your Highness, how was that sweet?”

I feel my wolf’s wrath as I remember vividly, how she had boldly promised to take Reagan from me. I shouldn’t have let her walked out that day without scratching her face off.

“What?” I can see the shock register on his face as he looks into my unwavering eyes.

“That’s right. Your sweet friend is nothing but a jealous b***h out to have you to herself.” His face contorts into a scowl with his displeasure evident on his face. He seems to be mulling over something for a while before he walks up to me and places both his hands on my arms. Leaning down, he asks, “What else did she say?” His voice sounds chilly, while his demeanor turns suddenly menacing. I can see him gritting his fine set of teeth in anger as his grip on my arms tighten.

Ishrug, “Just that she’s going to have you and that you don’t want me, seeing as you haven’t marked me yet.”

He blinks at my words as realization dawns on his face. “That’s why you wanted me to mark you all of a sudden, isn’t it?” I look away, guilty at his words. Janet had just gotten into my head and was able to manipulate me easily. And I had been dumbenough to let her.

“Little wolf, look at me.” Reagan’s smooth voice and hand on my jaw coax me to turn back to him. I can feel the tingles where his skin touches mine, and when I stare into his warm brown eyes, I’m blown away at how mesmerizing they always seem to be.

“I want you to trust me when I say it’s you that I want, and no one else. I don’t have to mark you before letting you know that I love you so much. Not Janet, but you.” My breath hitches in my throat at his words, and my knees suddenly feel boneless. I would have buckled underneath my weight if he wasn’t holding me.

“You love me?” I ask in a tiny voice that I barelyrecognize as mine. My throat is clogged up with so many emotions, it’s hard to breathe. My eyes tear up as I stare at his beautiful face. My heart is swelling with emotions, so much that I think it might burst.

A full-blown smile appears on his lip enough to make me fall at his knees. “Of course, I do. I thought that was obvious already.”

I couldn’t help but lean in to smash my lips against him, having a taste of him after a long time.

Yes, thirty hours was a long time. And he wraps his arms around my waist to receive me, taking my breath away with his lips. I dig my fingers into his silky hair, pulling them, and eliciting groans of pleasure from him. The sounds he’s making are enough to make my stomach clenches in need, and my panties feel my excitement. God, I missed him.

–

He tastes and feels so good, I couldn’t get enough of him. All I wanted at that moment was to let him know how I felt by showing him, making him feel the same. And with the kiss, I did. Sparks fly about us with zaps of electricity zinging through our bodies.

He bites hard on my bottom lip before sucking and soothing it before delving his tongue in once more.

His hands around my waist roam my body before cupping my ass, causing me to moan into the kiss.

When we part, our breaths come out in pants as we inhale each other’s breath. I didn’t want to leave him just yet, and it seems neither did he as we remain glued against each other.

| take my time to input his handsome looks once more into my memory. His blonde hair that my fingers were still threading through his long eyelashes that brush against his cheeks anytime he blinks, and his prominent cheekbones. With his leather jacket, he had this bad boy vibes that only seems to turn me on the more. I feel like caging him in this room so no other female can get her filthy claws on him.

Argh...now you sound insane, insane.

1 “Now tell me, my sweet girl,” he brings his thumb and forefinger up to cup my jaw, “why am Tonly hearing now about all this?”

“I was gonna tell you, but then we had that fight.” I shrug, biting my lip as I remember that hideous day. I feel terrible as I had been the one to elicit it by falling into Janet’s trap. I really was stupid.

Thear a groan come from him, only to look up and see his eyes fixed on my lips.

“Don’t do that.” He uses his thumb to separate my bottom lip from my teeth.

“What?” I tilt my head in question at him.

“Blame yourself. It’s not your fault. Even I sometimes think I’m crazy for having not claimed you yet.” He chuckles a light sexy tone that somehow reverberates through me down to my core.

My eyes drift down to where his bulge was straining painfully against his pants. Reagan and I have been together for a few weeks, and never have I been able to help him to relieve himself. He had helped me a couple of times especially when I was in my ‘heat’ period. But not once had he let me touch him. Isn’t he a man with needs?

I reach out my hand down to his waistband, and I feel him go rigid as he moves back to furrow his eyebrows at me.

“What’re you doing?” He questions with a curious gaze directed down at me.

“Let me help you.” I motion to his evident bulge. I can see the unsure look on his face as he eyes me warily. He must think this is a tactic for me to get him to mark me. I’roll my eyes at his absurd thinking.

“I don’t want you to mark me orf**k me if that’s what you’re afraid of. I just wanna help.” He purses his lip as he mulls over it for a while before shaking his head, moving back once more away from me, keeping the distance.

“Ellie. I’m not cautious because I think you’re trying to seduce me. I’m cautious because I don’t think I’ll be able to stop myself if you keep touching me like that. I’m a beast with a large appetite that you can’t handle...for now.” He winks at me before turning to disappear into the bathroom opposite us.
