“The meeting for tomorrow is scheduled for 2pm.” Roman said from the other end of the call.
“Alright.” My gaze settled on Evelynne who was placing pillows in the middle of the bed to create a barrier between us.

Honestly, if I had any intention of doing something to the incredibly attractive woman on the bed, a simple set of pillows for a barrier wouldn’t be enough to stop me.
But if she felt safe with this, then she can go on with it.
“Is it same restaurant?” I asked, rubbing the stubble on my chin while staring at her as she did her thing.
“Yes. Roman answered, clearing his throat.
The call went on for minutes and I watched as Evelynne finally settled on the bed to sleep.
She spent her time trying to not sleep by sparing me glances and keeping herself busy with anything at all.
Including watching the chandelier, muttering to herself, sparing a glance at me again, scrolling through her phone, taking a peek at me, glancing around the room, and then frowning when she realized that all the while, my eyes were on her.
“Still on call?” she eventually asked.
“Yes.
“Oh. Her lips pressed into a thin line, like she was hesitating with her next words, “Thought we could talk, but I’m feeling sleepy, so… maybe tomorrow.”
“Talk about?” I asked, genuinely curious.
“About this,” She waved a hand between us, “About us and all this, cause it appears things are moving in a different direction from what I had planned before,” her eyes settled on me.
“Give me a moment,” I told her, already rounding up my call with Roman.
“Oh, no! no need, we can keep it till tomorrow and besides I’m feeling very sleepy right now,” Evelynne immediately said before I could end the call.
“Alright.”
She gave me a small nod before slowly and finally shutting her eyes, only to open it seconds later and frown at the fact that I was indeed still staring at her.
Her lips moved and she mumbled words which I couldn’t hear, but it sounded like, ‘stop staring at me.”
Tough luck.
Cause unfortunately for her, she was a sight to behold and I was tight in her hold.
Just that, she was yet to realize.
A soft frustrated breath escaped from her lips and she turned to face the other side, unintentionally gracing me with the

perfect view of the curved shape of her ass.
“Ah, fuck.”
Straight lust in all its itchy, burning glory rushed through my veins.

And I must have turned into a glutton for punishment, cause I didn’t look away, not even till I felt a budge straining my night pants.
Her pants which she chose to not change, clung to her like a second skin, and every single time she moved on the bed with her back still facing me, the urge to wrap my hands around her and trace my fingers across her skin increased.
“Fuck,” a huffed, restrained breath escaped my lips and I closed my eyes, leaving my imaginations to run wild on how she’ll look without the clothes on, under me, above me, staring at me with so much intensity, lust and desire.
“Are you okay?” Roman’s voice ruined my imagination at that exact moment and I battled with the urge to have him removed from his position for putting me in this such situation in the first place.
“Yeah. Continue.” My cock gave its ideas a rest after the interruption of a third party.
‘Are you sure?” the voice from the other end probed, “Do you need anything?”
“I don’t need anything. Go straight to the point, Roman.” Deciding to tone down my anger and not throw it at him, I released a deep breath and rested my head on the sofa’s head.
There was silence on the other end for a while, before he finally spoke out, “Okay then.”
He continued, “By the way, how are you finding it?” my brows squinted, “The room, I mean. Are you two comfortable there?” he added.
His question reminded me about something, and I couldn’t help but ask, “What the hell were you trying to pull out there? playing cupid?”
“When?” he chose to feign ignorance and I honestly didn’t have time for this.
“Roman.” I warned.
He cleared his throat, “Like I said earlier, my room’s condition wasn’t nice for the lady.”
“The fuck do you even mean by that?”
“Truth is,” Roman cleared his throat, “I thought it best with you two in the same room, since we’ll be meeting the Blackwood’s and they are under the impression that you are a couple. On my part, I was trying to clear out any mishaps that might show that there isn’t anything between you two before. So I was trying to create something between you two. And trust me, the hotel played a huge role by not having a room in place to be booked.” He explained down the line.
Allowing his words to sink in, my eyes drifted to the bed and I muttered, “Alright.”
After a while, I heard soft, relaxed and even breath which signaled that she eventually dozed off, and I presumed it was because of how tired she was, cause it didn’t seem like she had any intention of sleeping at first.
Standing up from the sofa, I walked outside to the balcony, releasing a deep breath as the night air enveloped me.
I ended the call minutes later when I was done with what I had to tell Roman. Scrolling through the call logs, I tapped on Grandfather’s number.

It rang for barely up to twenty seconds before he answered it, and just before I could say anything, he went straight to the point, “How long has it been since you got yourself a fine woman, young man?”
I rubbed a palm on my forehead, getting prepared for the wave of headache that this call would lead to, “The news got to you already?” I asked, releasing a sigh.
“Yes, and I’m bitterly disappointed that I had to hear about it from my friend and not you.” I could imagine him subtly shaking his head.
“How long have you guys been together anyway?” Grandfather asked, and I had a hunch on where this was heading to.
“Four months.”
“Four months?! And I had no idea about it all this while?” he yelled and I had to move the phone away from my ear, tapping the speaker on instead.
“I had no intention of letting anyone know about it when we were still at an earlier stage in our relationship.” Lies. I was lying to my old man and I knew there was no going back on this.
Weaving my fingers through my hair, I walked back inside the room and shut the balcony door close before my eyes settled on the woman who hugged a pillow to herself as she slept.
“Is that so?” he said after a while.
“Yes,”
“What family is she from anyway? Is she a member of the Black Fur Pack?” Grandfather have been hellbent on me finding someone from our pack at first, but after years of not finding my own mate, he resolved to me bringing anyone I was interested in.
“She isn’t.”
“I take it that she isn’t your mate either?” He asked.
Picking the comforter from the closet, I walked back into the room and gently draped it on her, tilting my head to have a closer look at her relaxed expression.
The answer to grandfather’s question lay on the tip of my tongue but in fear that he’ll complicate matters for me even before I could set things right, I said something else, “She isn’t my mate. She doesn’t come from a big family, and she’s a member of the Crystal Moon pack.”
“Crystal Moon Pack? isn’t that the pack you recently made a Peace alliance with?” Grandfather thoughtfully asked.
An alliance that cost me billions of dollars to make for the sake of my own pack, but something in me knew that if things ever got serious to the extent that she got into a conflict with the same said pack, I might just risk things to wage war.
Cause she was the one.
“Yes, it’s the same.”
“Ah, that treatie cost us billions, lad,” he muttered down the call, recalling what we had gone through for the alliance.
My eyes roamed over her face, drinking in her relaxed features; from the faint freckles on her nose, to the gentle curve of her eyebrows, down to the soft blush on her cheeks and then trailed low to her parted lips.
Soft and inviting, beckoning me closer with an urge to cover the distance between us, and taste the sweetness of her mouth,

and to feel her warm breath on my lips.
Reaching closer to her, and unable to hold back more than I have already, my fingers moved on keys and day riga fund settled on her lower lips, where a little dot of injury was.
With all sense of reasoning abandoned, I gently trailed my fingers along her soft pink lips, as 1 med having may be on them instead of my thumb.
“Anyway, I’ll like to meet her soon.
“You will.”
Evelynne stirred, and I moved my hand away, taking a step back from her. Her lips pressed into a thain Sidarted her brows pull into a frown, then she mumbled something inaudible, before tightening her eyes clow indir, and the shook her head, only to suddenly go still.
Worry shot through my nerves when she muttered, ‘Dad–dy, stay. Don’t go there, mom, but her lips pulled solemn smile, and I felt my resolve crumble.
Your father is still in the city, by the way Grandfather muttered down the call an hour later.
I realized I’ve lost track of time when I saw it was already a couple of minutes past two
Rubbing a palm on the back of my neck, I stood up from the sofa and walked over to the bed, eyes falling on Evelyne who lay draped on the bed, and now on my own side of the bed, after crossing the pillows.
A soft chuckle escaped my lips at the sight, “He can stay in Boston for as long as he wants, I really don’t care, I passed, squinting my brow at a sudden thought. “There’ll only be an issue if he decides to meddle into what I’m doing
Grandfather released a deep tired breath. “I hope this all ends someday I had no response to his words cause in all honesty, I had a bad feeling that none of this was even close to an end.
His son was in the constant push and pull game for power and influence, and he ignored everything around him, just like h did years back.
Shaking the thoughts off my head, I climbed the bed and lay down, trying to ignore the woman who was presently on my side of the bed and very close to me.
“It’s late, grandfather. I reminded him after a long while of silence.
“Ah, yes.” I heard a yawn from the other end, “Goodnight,” he said, with that our long call that had drawn for hours finally
came to an end.
Placing my phone on the bedside table, I lay on the bed, facing up the ceiling with my right arm above my head and the left relaxed on my stomach as my eyes trailed down to Evelynne who was right beside me.
My fingers reached for the hair resting on her face and I tucked it to the back of her ear, eyes settling on the soft relaxed expression on her face.
My breath hitched in my throat when she suddenly moved closer, pressing her body to mine and snuggling closer for
warmth.
“Jesus” unable to keep my desires in check, emotion flared inside me when she draped her legs across mine, and pressed her cheeks to my chest.

“Warm,” she mumbled subconsciously and I struggled to gently move her back.
I could feel the sudden rise of my cock when her legs grazed them, and a wave of desire engulfed me.
“Evelynne,” I tried calling out to her, unsure of what else to do.
A restrained, huffed breath escaped my lips and I shut my eyes close, trying to reduce the raging inferno inside me.
And trying to ignore how perfect it felt with her legs intertwined in mine, with her cheeks pressing up to my chest and also how perfect her soft body felt pressing into my hard one.
A guttural growl tore from my throat when she snuggled closer even though there wasn’t even any space between us anymore, “Fuck.” Desire in its full glory flared inside me.
We were practically molded to one another on the bed.
Seconds turned into minutes, and it felt like hours as I remained still, trying to untangle myself and stand up from the bed, but failing to cause I feared she might wake up and see us in this position, then she’ll shriek.
We stayed like that for hours, I soon realized, But God how I love the way she clung to me for dear life, and it would have been better if it wasn’t that she was cutting off my own.
“Evelynne,” I tried calling again, but it appeared that my voice wasn’t reaching her at all.
Minutes turned hours but she didn’t budge, not even as she broke into sweat that trickled from her skin down to my night
wear.
My brows pulled into a frown when I soon noticed that it was just a couple of minutes left before dawn.
A breath escaped my lips and I tried removing my legs from hers once again, but then she stirred in her sleep, and that
turned me still as a rock.
Evelynne snuggled closer and stirred once again, eyes finally fluttering open. She looked up at me, emerald eyes meeting my dark ones, and my heart skipped a beat, her gaze soft and sleepy.
Those emerald innocent eyes that hid things beneath them did things to me,
Things I have no idea about.
Did things to my heart, goddamn head, body and my inner wolf included.
I couldn’t move, couldn’t dare look away.
Silence settled in, then her gaze trailed low and her brows squinted into a frown.
