Chapter Forty-One

Book:Delta's Rejected Daughter Published:2025-2-19

After everyone left for the evening, Anthony had me up against the front door in a heated, passionate kiss. Then, he carried me to our bedroom with a wicked, wolfish grin on his face. He gently placed me in the middle of our king-sized bed.
“I thought they would never leave. I’ve been wanting to kiss you passionately all day long, especially after the way you handled Colonel Thompson. That was so Hot. I have a badass for a mate,” purred Anthony as he continued to kiss me passionately while caressing my body ever so gently.
“Mmm … don’t stop. This feels so good,” I purred as I let my hands wander across the planes of Anthony’s body.
We continued to make hot passionate love to each other until the wee hours of the morning. We were both insatiable in our need to feel every inch and become well-versed with each other’s bodies. After our night of mating, I wouldn’t be surprised if we found out we were expecting our first pup.
We both awoke the next morning to the sound of someone knocking on our front door. Anthony told me he would get the door while I got dressed. Anderson was at the door asking what our plans were for the day since it was already 9:30 in the morning.
“Good morning, Anthony. I just wanted to know what your plans were today since I am one of Melanie’s guards. I already told Noah I would inform him if he was needed,” explained Anderson as he waited patiently for Anthony to tell him or invite him into the house.
“Come in Anderson. I’m not sure what the plans are just yet. We just woke up. I’m not even sure what time it is,” explained an embarrassed Anthony to Anderson.
“It’s 9:32 AM. You must have had some evening if you’re just now waking up,” observed Anderson with a smirk on his face.
“Anderson do not call my mate or me out like that,” I chastised Anderson as I entered the living room where they stood.
“My apologies Delta Heir Melanie,” apologized Anderson as he bowed toward me.
“Apology accepted. Now, why exactly are you here so early on a Saturday morning?” I demanded of him in an annoyed voice.
“I needed to know what your plans were for the day so we could plan accordingly. You know because I am your guard and I’m supposed to keep you safe,” explained Anderson with annoyance in his voice to match mine.
“Since when do I get up at the crack of dawn on a Saturday Anderson? Huh?” I reminded Anderson.
“I know but your Dad told me to come over here and see what you were up to today. I need to know how I am to protect Melanie,” Anderson declared in a tone that left no room for debate.
“Calm down Anderson. We just got up. We haven’t made any plans yet. Go home and spend some time with Kayla since you are literally next door. I’ll let you know if we go anywhere today,” I told him as I was shooing him out of the house.
“As you wish, Melanie,” replied Anderson as he walked out the door.
“Now, let’s get something to eat. Shall we my handsome mate?” I cooed as I sauntered over to Anthony with a silly grin on my face.
“Yes, let’s get something to eat so we can enjoy the rest of our day together,” cooed Anthony as he guided me into the kitchen.
We made breakfast together and helped each other eat breakfast. Anthony fed me and I fed him breakfast from our plates. He really is a wonderful, loving mate. I couldn’t have asked for a better mate.
I reminded Anthony that before we got too carried away today, I still had to reorder all the equipment for the Command Center. After we cleaned up the kitchen, we found the office on the main floor of our house. I found my laptop and work materials already in there. Thanks to Anderson or Noah. I’ll have to remember to tell them, ‘thank you,’ later.
I must admit, Dad has good taste when it comes to furniture. He had two desks set up in the office, one for me and one for Anthony. I reordered all the equipment necessary for the Command Center and checked my email since I hadn’t had a chance to do so in a couple of days. I did a cursory reading of the emails to see if anything was important and needed my immediate attention. Seeing nothing, I logged off my computer so we could resume our day of relaxation and ‘fun.’
“Hey baby, when are your Grandparents supposed to arrive?” I asked Anthony trying to figure out how long we have to get things ready for them.
“They are supposed to be arriving tomorrow afternoon around 4 PM. Why?” Anthony hinted mischievously at me as he came over to me.
“I just wanted to see how long we had to acquaint ourselves with the house before we had company. Also, we need to make sure the guest room is ready for them. They are staying with us, right?” I asked Anthony.
“Yes, if it’s all right with you that is,” Anthony replied sheepishly.
“Why wouldn’t it be okay for them to stay with us? They’re your grandparents. They raised you. I can’t wait to meet them,” I gushed as I hugged him tightly and kissed him soundly.
“I’m still getting used to being mated and being part of a family. So, please forgive me if I still ask permission for things or if my Grandparents can stay with us,” Anthony shyly stated as he dipped his nose into the crook of my neck to inhale my scent.
“Oh, baby. I didn’t mean to upset you. What’s mine is yours. Please remember that. We are mates. You are my other half. I am not complete without you. This is OUR HOUSE, not mine, ours. I love you so much,” I professed as I held his face with both hands so I could look into his eyes. I wanted him to see the sincerity in my eyes when I spoke to him.
“I love you too, Melanie. I cannot imagine my life without you. I am so happy that I found you and that we are fated mates. Now, let me show you how much I love you if you are finished ordering your equipment,” cooed Anthony as he placed kisses from my ear to my mark.
I couldn’t help the moan that escaped before he claimed my lips in a passionate kiss. We spent the day making love to each other. No one bothered us at our house and we enjoyed our time just the two of us.
The next day came too quickly with the ringing of my phone. It was my Dad asking when we were expecting Anthony’s Grandparents.
“Good morning, Mellie. I hope you and Anthony enjoyed your day yesterday. Alpha Richard needs to know when to expect Anthony’s Grandparents. Also, your mother wants to know what time we are having dinner tonight.” Dad inquired.
“Good morning, Dad. Well, his Grandparents are due sometime around 4 PM. I thought we were having dinner around 6. Are we eating at your place or ours? I thought we were eating at our place, am I wrong?” I questioned my Dad as I looked at Anthony who had a funny look on his face.
“No, you’re not wrong. We are eating dinner at your place tonight. Mom just wanted to make sure everything was taken care of; you know how she is. Do you need any help getting ready for his Grandparents today?” asked Dad in an amused tone.
“Let me get started Dad and then I’ll let you know. Okay? Bye Dad,” I said trying to end this conversation so I could go get something to eat.
“Okay. Bye for now Mellie,” responded Dad back to me.
I just shook my head and chuckled. Anthony was standing in the bathroom doorway wearing nothing but a smile. My handsome mate just let me rake my eyes over his magnificent well-toned body. Yes, I was caught drooling over my mate. Am I ashamed of myself? Hell No!
I slowly walked over to him while peeling off my clothes in the process. I knew he liked what he saw because the smile that grew on his handsome face was dazzling. He brought me in for a smoldering kiss before he picked me up and brought me into the bathroom. He turned on the shower to allow it to warm up.
He brought us into the warm spray of the shower. I can never get enough of my mate of his kisses, his touch, his eyes, or his scent. Before we could begin to wash our bodies, Anthony had my back up against the tiles of the shower as he entered me.
“Oh baby … I just can’t … resist … you are … so perfect …” he said in between kisses and thrusts.
“Mmm,” was all I could say. I was in sensation overload at the moment and couldn’t form a sentence let alone want to try to speak. I just wanted to please my mate and bring him as much pleasure as he was bringing me.
Our orgasms were so explosive that I could feel all the way down to my toes. Anthony was gently kissing me after our orgasm trying to gently bring me down so I could stand on my own two feet. My legs felt like jelly but my body just felt so relaxed and the euphoria I was feeling was out-of-this-world crazy good.
Anthony grinned at me and softly stated, “We’d better take our showers and start getting ready for my Grandparents. If we keep this up, I’ll keep you in bed all day again.”
“Promises, Promises,” I mewled softly in his ear as I kissed him below it as he released me so he could go to his shower head to begin his shower.
“Behave yourself, after we finish getting everything ready for them, then we can ‘play’ some more,” contended Anthony with a sly smile on his handsome face.
“If you insist,” I cooed as I gave his ass one more appreciative caress before I began my shower.
