But he wasn’t moving. He was just staring at me with a stoic expression.
Stubborn Alpha. He always wanted to have the upper hand.
I rolled my eyes before walking back to where he was and grabbing his face with my hands and pulling it closer to mine before kissing him passionately, letting my lips devour his plump lips. As much as I was doing this so we could eat breakfast already, I wouldn’t deny that I was enjoying this.
And Goddess, I could get used to this.
After a while, I pulled away from kissing him and just stared at him.
A smile formed on his lips as he cupped my cheeks and rested his forehead on mine. “Nadia...”
“Hmmm...” I mumbled, enjoying the way my name was rolling off his tongue.
“You’re beautiful... I hope you know that.”
My heart fluttered at his statement. I have been called beautiful before but it sounded more real and sincere coming from him. He was indeed making me feel beautiful.
And while I was thinking of how I should reply to his compliment, my annoying stomach growled in hunger again, drawing his attention.
“Beautiful... And always hungry.” He added, chuckling, before he withdrew his forehead and coiled an arm around my waist, pulling me closer to his side as he guided and walked us towards the door.
Chapter 18
RILEY.
Ihad no idea todaywould be so much better than it already was. I woke up with Nadia sprawled out on top of me as if she belonged there like she owned every part of me.
Well, she did, she just didn’t know it yet. But soon, I wanted her to know she owned every part of me and I would do everything in my power to make her stay and be mine for eternity.
I smiled despite myself as a flashback of this morning came in. I had to drag Jenny, my Gamma Female to help me with ironing her clothes. I had never, for the life of me, used this thing. My clothes were washed and pressed by an Omega female who comes in twice a week, so this thing wasn’t really part of my routine, but for some reason, I wanted to do it for her. This female was turning me into her slave without her knowing it.
And then I talked with Darvin this morning and told him about Nadia. And the fucker laughed at me. It reached him that when Nadia returned to his territory days ago, she was already marked, but he had no idea that it was me that marked her.
And he thought that it was funny that he could now finally understand why I kept visiting his pack when I had no fucking business in there.
Was I that fucking bad?
But all went well in the end. He was happy for me, and he said he would handle the case of Nadia’s uncle. That was enough for me.
I could finally move on and accept my female into my pack. And yes, I’m fucking excited that I could invade her mind.
“Why are you smiling?” She asked as she stood in front of my desk, hands on her hips and a scowl written on her face.
Is she upset that I’m smiling?
“Why are you scowling?” I asked her back.
“Am I? It’s my regular expression.” She snapped at me before rolling her eyes as she sat on the chair behind my desk. “Are we doing this or not?”
“What did I do again to piss you off?”
“Nothing.”
“Because I’m smiling?”
“Why would I care if you’re smiling? If you’re thinking of someone who makes you smile, even if I was here already talking to you.” She huffed and crossed her legs. “I’m ready to denounce my pack when you’re ready.”
“Come here.” I raised my hand and motioned for her to come over.
