I was having one of the most agonizing days of my life when I heard a loud knock on my door.
Since my altercation with Pandora and her family a few hours ago, I have not been able to piece myself back together. My heart was broken, and I couldn’t seem to console my wolf.
He was not talking to me and has been gnawing in pain ever since. The physical wounds inflicted by Rolan weren’t nearly as painful as the ripping pain that was shooting through my body.
I felt like I was going crazy and if I did not get to be with Pandora soon, I was going to lose my mind. She looked so happy and didn’t even mind that I had rejected her. I felt bad that I somehow wanted to have seen her beg me to be with her.
I shook my head sadly. She was already my mate, I didn’t have to do all that to her.
“Come in” I answered the knock on the door.
The door opened and Hermione came inside. I hissed, disappointed, even though I knew that it could never be Pandora knocking on my door, I hoped that it would be her.
Hermione smiled at me, surprisingly.
“Hello, Derrick. I brought us lunch” she said and set a bag on my table.
“What do you want, Hermione?” I asked, irritated that she wasn’t Pandora.
“Are you still upset about what I said the other day?” She asked me, giving me a smile that once mattered the most to me in the world.
I scoffed.
“I am sorry, Derrick. I was just upset and jealous. You should understand that by now. I really do love and care about you.” She apologized to me, it seemed sincere from my judgment which was quite surprising because Hermione did not agree that she was mistaken.
I gave her a long puzzling look and then my countenance softened. Her scent was slowly becoming appealing. I started thinking of her lustfully and even imagined her face to be that of Pandora’s.
“It’s fine,” I mumbled, shaking my body to jolt myself back to reality.
“Thank you, my love. I brought us your favorite. I made it myself.” Hermione said calmly, opening the food pack gently.
I gave her a questioning look because I know that she had never cooked and did not even have an idea of how to.
“I did make it. The butler only supervised me while I made the meal myself. I wanted it to be specially made for you” she said and laughed shyly.
The usual Hermione I know was very quick to anger and would never do anything nice for anyone if it didn’t benefit her in some way.
I was still shocked at the three hundred and sixty degrees change from her and wondered what she could possibly want by doing all this.
“And no, I don’t want anything. I just came to apologize and have lunch with you. I hate fighting with you and I don’t want you to be upset with me anymore.” I looked at her talking and wondered what had suddenly happened to Hermione to make her so selfless.
“Hmmm. Okay. Let’s eat.” I said and stood up to join her in the sitting area. I sat down and was about to call my secretary when Hermione started serving the food.
Even though I was upset about losing Pandora, I recognized the effort of Hermione in trying to make things better between us. I made up my mind to let go of our issues and not complicate her life any further.
“Thank you, babe,” I said and picked up a spoon to scoop the carrot soup that she served.
“It’s nice. Thank you” I said, really surprised and even doubted if it were her to make this dish. Tasted too pleasant for someone who is cooking for the first time in her life.
She touched my head calmly and I felt a sharp pain. I touched the spot and rubbed it gently.
“I’m sorry babe, it was my bracelet.” Hermione apologized and showed me her bracelet. It was the serpent bracelet I got for her when I had touched her for the first time. The tail poked me.
She excused herself to use my bathroom and I focused on finishing my food.
“Did you hurt yourself, babe, I saw a lot of tissue with blood stains on it in your restroom?” She peeped from behind the door and asked, she had removed her top and I could see the roundness of her breast threatening to pop out of the brassiere that she wore.
I felt a stirring in me and I had to wrestle it down with a lot of self-control.
She came out a few minutes later and cleared the table then she went to my mini wine bar and served me a drink. She had her back turned to me and I saw the curve of her ass.
It was like she was deliberately doing these things in an attempt to seduce me. She handed me a glass of red wine and asked to cheer with me.
“To a beautiful present and future with the love of my life,” she said and clinked her glass with mine. She laughed and playfully sat on my lap.
“You are being naughty, Hermione. What are you driving at?” I teased, pretending not to know what she wanted as I took a sip of the drink she handed to me.
She merely smiled and took some juice in her mouth. She kissed me and slowly poured some of it into my mouth, as the liquid went down my throat, it was like a fire was ignited in my heart for Hermione.
I dropped my glass and deepened the kiss. She moaned and squirmed against me, trying to escape. I kissed her harder and slipped a hand into her already moist panties.
“Stop” my wolf growled but I couldn’t control myself anymore, I carried Hermione and threw her on the table after pushing everything off it.
As she moaned and panted, I began to feel like I was unable to do without her, and I would do anything to please her.
