Chapter 38: Chapter 38

“I’ll see you at home, mommy!” Mike kissed on my cheek and waved at Athan, he’s bright face was like a blooming flower. I smiled and looked at my little boy, and said goodbye to him. I stared at his back until he walked in and closed the door, and I couldn’t calm down for a long time.

My five-year-old son already showed sign of werewolf, how long can I keep the peaceful and normal life for him until he’s first shift? Thinking of that, I couldn’t help but frown. Suddenly, a cold finger touched my brow, I looked up and met Athan’s eyes.

“Don’t worry, Katherine,” he’s smile was warm and gentle: “Mike will be fine, I won’t let anything happen to him.”

I nodded, somehow his words comforted me, perhaps it was because he was such a strong werewolf, and that made me feel safe. I looked at his beautiful dark eyes, a weird feeling took over my brain. It was like my heart skipped a beat, all I could see was Athan’s eyes. I approached him unconsciously, and I could feel his hot gaze on me. At that moment, there seemed to be hundreds of butterflies flapping their wings in my chest, as if he and I were the only ones left in this world. The distance between us was getting shorter, I could almost feel his warm breath, and as our lips got closer, I closed my eyes...

“Mummy!” Lily’s voice dragged me back into reality, I stepped back in panic, and turned to her. lily ran into my arms, she pulled my collar and forced me to bow down, and left a kiss on my cheek.

“I love you, mummy,” she put on a big smile and said to me, then ran back to the house.

Lily's presence caught me off guard, and I quietly looked up at Athan Buffay, who had already turned his back on me. But I still saw that his ears and neck were all red.

Athan Buffay didn't speak again until I got back to the apartment, and there were times when I wanted to say something to break the silence, but felt a little irritated. Maybe he didn’t want to kiss me at all, or maybe he was embarrassed by me? I was confused, and a little hurt, too. It’s not like he didn’t force to kiss me several times already, why was he acting so weird today?

It was near evening, I cooked some food while Athan Buffay was sitting in his room silently.

“Are you gonna eat or are you gonna act like that and starve yourself?” I knocked on his door and said to him, I had to admit that I felt wronged.

Athan stood up and sat by the table, he picked up the cutlery and still said nothing. An unknown flame of anger burning in my chest, I took his fork away from his hand and look at him, “Athan Buffay, are you embarrased of me?”

He looked up at me with surprise on his face, “What are you talking about?”

“Then what is it? We were about to kiss, and now you are treating me like I don’t exist. Is this a game for you? Is it fun you see me like that?” I shouted, my sight were blurred, perhaps by my tears. I remembered everything I had been through with the man in front of me, and I knew, that I already fell for him when I didn’t notice.

He was shocked by my words, why wouldn’t he. He was the great Athan Buffay, and who am I to question him? A tear fell down my cheek, I stretched the corner of my lips and shook my head, then I turned and walked back to my room.

What’s the meaning of love? After all it’s all a lost cause.

Suddenly, a strong arm wrapped my waist and lifted me up, Athan Buffay swung me into his arm. Before I could react, he carried me into my room throwed me on my bed. He pressed his whole body on me, my hands were lifted above my head and gripped by his hand. We were so close to each other, I could feel his heavy breath.

“Athan…uh” he covered his lips on mine, and stuck his tongue while I opened my mouth. The minty smell was all over my mouth, the deep, wet kiss made my body hot. His hands started gradually moving on my body, everywhere he touched, I tremble. It was amazing, I never knew I could be so nervous but happy at the same time. My tongue entangled with his, I closed my eyes, and couldn’t help let out moan…

Then he suddenly stopped.

My breath was messed up by him, and I got confused. I could certainly feel how hot my face was, I was shy. Athan stared at me, his eyes turned red. His lips tremble like he was enduring something, after a while, he spoke: “I wish to do that every day, all the time, to you.”

I stunned, what did he mean?

“Katherine,” he stroked my hair and my face, his voice was low, full of temptation, “tell me to stop now, and I will walk out that door. ” His voice was slightly shaking, but he stopped every movement and waited for my answer.

“Go on,” I whispered, “don’t stop.”
