Logan POV.
I’m going to kill my mate, or maybe he’s going to kill me for not getting what he expected to be getting tonight, I promised him sex and I didn’t plan on delivering, I’m not a liar usually, but after he just threw everything on her head, that was the only punishment that I had and could actually do.
I accidentally called her a pet, she’s a pet, she’s my sweet pet, but she’s not a dog, I wish I could explain things to her already, I wished to tell her what blye code means, why I called her pet, why it’s safe to sleep in our bed, why it’s fine for me to change her clothes, but I couldn’t do that, not yet.
Then Hunter thought that we were back in the military and made me do push-ups, and I hate those, I’m stronger than I ever was during my military years, but that doesn’t mean I enjoy doing any kind of push-ups. I picked her up easily and took her to our bed, she was going to sleep with us, and it would happen very often once she finally agreed to be with the two of us and no one else.
She slept right away, we didn’t have to talk her into sleeping, read her a story or do anything else, she slept on her own, I bet everything she’s been going through had her exhausted mentally and physically. I looked at Hunter and he had a small smile on his face, a very content smile, he got everything he wanted, well except sex, I bet he’s gonna have some blue balls very soon, I’d pay back for that later, but I’m loving the whole teasing.
“Can you imagine our life like this?” I whisper to Hunter, he touches the Angel’s head, petting her, landing a quick kiss on top of her head with a smile on his face.
“But she’ll be sleeping in her bed more often than us,” Hunter warns me.
“Why? The house is cold and our bed is warmer,” I answer him, pointing to the sleeping angel, the footie jammie was perfect on her, it was a perfect size as well.
“She can sleep under a blanket or a sleeping sack, or we can raise the temperature of her room,” Hunter says giving me a solution to a non-existent problem.
“What if she gets scared? I want to keep her around me,” I say next giving him my kind of puppy eyes.
“Then we’ll bring her to our bed, but first, I’ll have enough time to ravish you mate,” Hunter says in a predator’s voice, it made me feel hot and ready for action, but unlucky me, the little one is sleeping in the middle, how does his eyes and voice make my own plan turn against me.
“You’re evil,” I tell my mate who smiles knowingly, he closes his eyes and goes to sleep, I tried to sleep too, maybe we could just skip to the bathroom and do a quickie, but I’m not going to let Hunter win, not this time. With a lot of effort and self-control, I managed to fall asleep for the next couple of hours, it’s been years that I’ve been sleeping in the same bed as Hunter, his body and mine are used to being next to each other, we know how to share a bed, but the little girl wasn’t as used as us, she moved, she tossed, she kicked me in the balls twice, I looked at her with a glare as she woke me up yet again, I was starting to think of ways to get her to another bed, or maybe put her in a swaddle so she’d stop kicking me around.
The kicking got worse around three am, she wasn’t moving just because she’s moving, she was doing so out of fear, Hunter tried to hug her in a trial to calm her down, but she kicked him as well, her hands and nails went toward his chest scratching and hurting, she was deep asleep but we could hear her mumbling the word no, no to what?
“Don’t… don’t… nuuuuu…” she woke up crying, it was a nightmare, this whole thing was a nightmare.
“You’re safe princess,” I say worriedly trying to calm her down, I have never seen anyone reacting that way to being called a princess, she jumped up with fear, the nickname was one we should ditch.
“Hey, hey, Anegl, deep breath you’re with me,” Hunter says pulling her against his chest ignoring all the kicks and punches she was trying to throw all over the place, he finally managed to calm her down, to get her to stop crying.
“Was it a bad dream?” I ask laying back down next to her, she shrugs, her face was all sweaty, she could use a shower, but I didn’t want to risk getting her sick, I got out of the bed since she wouldn’t talk to me for now, I went to her room, the one that’s going to be hers very soon, it’s a little girl room, decorated in pastel colours, littles clothes were set in the closet for her. The best part of that room was the fact that it was connected to ours, a door stood between the two room which made it easier going back and forht, and it also assures that we can reach her whenever she needs us.
I went right toward the closet, I picked another pijama set for her, I left the room in a hurry to get her changed before she sleeps again. I did another stop in the bathroom, getting a small rag wet with warm water and finally going to the bed to check on her, I pulled her from underneath the blanket making her whine, I took off the footie jammie to which she only whined, all the humans have recieved an injection to help them slip into their category, an order was issued earlier this evening that we’re only allowed to talk with humans from our own code to assure that the meeting plans we had for humans and vampires would work.
I wiped her face and neck with the wet rag, cleaning off all of her sweat, Hunter helped me slip the new pijama over her head and up her waist, we tried to get her back to sleep, but she didn’t want me, she only wanted Hunter, both of her hands went toward him, holding him tight. I was exhausted, and seeing that she fell back to sleep holding on to Hunter as close as possible, I fell back to sleep, I couldn’t help it, it was three in the morning, and although Angel only sees me late in the morning and then she leaves home a bit early, I got to work extra and I don’t always make her come along with me, since I have some crazy working times.
Between the two of us, I’m the one that prefers sleeping the most, I hate waking up early, I hate waking up in general, I’m the lazy one, Hunter has to drag me out of the bed every morning, and seeing as tonight was kind of special, I had every right to sleep some extra, I’m my own boss, they can’t make me get up earlier, I should suggest to William having official days off once the human agrees on signing the contract, we’ll need bonding time and we can’t do that if most of the day is spent in the office.
“Logan, Logan where did she go?” Hunter shakes me vigoursly waking me up from the best kind of sleep.
“She was clinging to you as a lost koala bear, I don’t know,” I answer Hunter wanting to sleep some more, he can have the morning shift with her every morning, and I’ll take the evening one, I had my hopes that she’s easier to wake up than me.
“Logan for god’s sake, wake up, I’m being serious, she’s not here,” Hunter shakes me awake again, this time I managed to get my head off the pillow, I looked to my side of the room and noticed that I didn’t close her room’s door last night, or maybe I didn’t close it full-way, did she see? If she did she’d doubt that we have a baby, there’s a crib, changing table, soft toys, stories and a rocking chair.
“Is she in there?” I ask jumping out if the bed, stumbling on her footie jammie that we threw on the ground last night, I made my way to the other room opening the door fully, I looked inside and found that there wasn’t anyone in there, the room looks like I have left it last night, the same way, maybe she didn’t come in here, I quickly closed the door and went toward the bathroom, maybe she had to use it and was too shy to wake us up.
I moved toward the other door in our room, I got to the bathroom and opened the door without saying anything, I heard the shower going and I could see she was inside.
“Yeah?” she says in a shy voice.
“Just checking on you,” I say going back out of the bathroom, I turned to Hunter with a glare on my face.
“She’s just showering, next time check before making me jump,” I groan sitting back on the bed.
“We need to talk,” Hunter says in a cold voice.
“Why?” I ask him, I wasn’t about to drop and give him another twenty.
“Something is up with her, did you notice how she was triggered?” Hunter asks me, I wasn’t stupid, of course I saw, I nod.
“Princess, and she was having nightmare of someone or something,” Hunter says.
“Could it be from the day she spent with the humans when they got her?” I ask him, we knew she was kidnapped and then saved, it’s why she got the special treatment and was set under our care by William, he might not be a full blue, but he knows how to deal with all the codes.
“Maybe, try to talk her,” Hunter says and I nod, I’ll try to open the topic with her at work.
“I will,” I say running to the other room to get her some clothes from her closet without her finding out.
“Logan, does Ryan spend any time with her in the company?” Hunter asks me out of the blue as I was getting some clothes for the two of us ready.
“He’s not supposed to,” I answer him.
“As if he’s usually very obedient,” Hunter says with an eye roll.
“I’ll talk to him,” I say, maybe then he’d get away from her.
“No, I need you to pull the camera footage of their interaction in her office and the company as whole, keep an eye on her, and I’ll talk to Evelyn about this,” Hunter says in a firm voice, before turning his cold professional demanour into a wide smile.
“Hey my Angel, all clean now?” he says to the little one standing behind me.
“Yeah, I think I was too hot in the night,” she says, she’s wearing my bathroom robe which was more than enough to wrap her twice.
“Yeah, did you sleep well?” I ask her instead, does she remember anything?
“Yeah, thank you, I did. Thank you for letting me sleep in here,” she says with a smile.
“You welcome, we got work to do, let’s get ready,” I say looking at Hunter, I’m going to do what he wants me to do, and check all of this, I pray for Ryan that he didn’t touch her or get near her or his death is going to be very slow and painful.
