Later that evening, Crystal arrived at Logan’s Castle, she had told her step parents that Logan invited her over for dinner and so she would not be coming back that night.
She still kept the fact that Logan was her mate a secret from them, she wanted to keep them under the impression that she still hates Logan, and she’s afraid that he would kill her son if he finds out about him.
Crystal intended to reveal Aidan’s existence to the Alpha after they seal their bond tonight, then together, they would come and pick their son up the next day.
She imagined the look of surprise on her step parent’s face when they found out that they had been played. After that, she will travel back to Pasadena and surprise her parents. She would confront them to know why they did what they did to her
She wanted to know why, but all that can only happen after tonight, as tonight was special to her.
She knocked on Logan’s bedroom door and the door was opened almost immediately. The both of them were stunned when they saw each other.
Crystal was dressed in a beautiful red gown that was split on the thighs, her boobs were heavily accentuated and it revealed a lot of her back. She was putting on a shoe with high heels and that added to her height.
That was the first time Logan had seen her on makeup. Her face glowing and her lips were wet and glossy, her eyebrows were nicely carved and painted to fit with her gown. Her purple wolf eyes were still outstanding in the combo of shiny colors.
The sight before him was so beautiful that he feared it would disappear if he made the mistake of looking away.
Logan himself was not looking any less dazzling, he was dressed in a white tuxedo with a satin shawl lapel and his bow tie intact, his black shoe was glittering with polish and his blonde hair perfectly styled.
He looked like a mature man in his early 30s, well he has always looked much older than his age, but this time, he looks even more matured.
They both smiled at each other and then, Crystal blushed and looked down. She had plans to avoid his eyes tonight, as she wanted her brain to function, because as soon as she looks into those blue eyes, all rational thoughts leave her mind and the only thing she can think of is the beautiful clouds.
“Please come in,” Logan said, finally breaking the silence.
She nodded and took a step in, she lost her balance but no worries, Logan was there to save the day.
He caught her in his arms before she could reach the hard floor, and she swung her arms around his neck for support, however she ended up looking into his eyes and that was the moment her world froze.
Those intoxicating eyes, she was supposed to avoid them. Was that too hard to do?
“Now she has been caught in the web of admiration. Even her eyelids were not blinking, it was like he had cast a spell on her.
“Are you alright?” Logan asked, still in the romantic save-the-falling-girl posture.
Crystal was too taken away by his beauty to reply, that is if she even heard his words.
“Are you okay?” He asked the second time and this time, she felt like she heard something, but she had no idea what it was.
She just hummed and smiled. Logan chuckled and lifted her up in his arms, that’s when she realized herself and looked at him with wide eyes.
“Hey! What are you doing?” She half-yelled in surprise.
“Oh, I thought you couldn’t walk or speak, so I decided to help carry you,” he said and laughed
“Of course I can walk, put me down,” she whined like a kid, but he would not listen, so he carried her into the room.
She was surprised to see how beautiful the decorations were made. There was a new bedspread with a lot of red flowers on the bed.
Logan carried her to his inner dining room and she was shocked to know that such a place existed. She always thought that Logan had his meals in his bedroom, as he never joins the others at the general dining table.
But his Chambers actually had a large room that consisted of a bedroom, a bathroom, a small cabinet and the dining room. Each door is attached on the different sides of his bedroom wall.
As soon as they were seated, Logan dialed some buttons on his phone, then put it down. A few minutes later, Crystal was surprised to see Lucy carrying in a tray of food, with an apron tied to her waist.
She could not believe what she was seeing, she doubted it was the same Lucy that she knew.
Lucy put the food on the table with a smile on her face, she went ahead to serve the both of them their individual plates, as it had been already dished, then she walked away smiling.
“Um… Logan, what is happening?” Crystal asked, with a puzzled face and Logan chuckled.
“Don’t worry, I already sorted things out with Lucy, she can only stay here till she finds her mate. Apart from that, we don’t share a relationship anymore.”
Crystal was glad to hear that, although she felt sorry for Lucy. She understood that she must be in pain, even though she was smiling.
“But Logan, why is she serving the meal?” Crystal queried.
“Oh well, she gave the maids a vacation and when she heard you were coming over for dinner, she wanted to take care of you, so she decided to make and serve dinner tonight,” Logan replied with a smile.
Crystal could not believe everything that she just heard. Can people really change so quickly?
“Hmm… Okay, if that is the case.” she muttered and grabbed a spoon.
She was so hungry as she had spent time getting ready for dinner, that she couldn’t eat lunch.
“So I hope you are ready for tonight?” Logan asked with a smirk and the food got stuck in her throat, forcing her to gulp and swallow hard.
She looked at Logan shyly and he chuckled. “Well, you are the one who needs to answer that question. I don’t see anything that I have to do tonight, the work is yours.” She giggled shyly and Logan laughed.
The rest of the dinner went on in silence, they were just quiet, eating and staring at each other. At one point, Logan couldn’t fight his hormones anymore, he abandoned his food, stood up suddenly and attacked her lips with a hungry kiss.
Crystal, who was very ready for him, stood up and also reciprocated. They both kissed each other hungrily, with their canines bruising each other’s lips.
It was raw and brutal. Without wasting more time, Logan lifted her in his arms without breaking the kiss, and carried her out of the dining room to the bedroom.
He laid her on the bed and deepened the kiss, then he broke the kiss to get undressed, but just then… His phone rang. It was by the bedside table and he decided to ignore it, however it started ringing a second time, and this time, he picked it up.
“Who the hell are you?” He yelled, after confirming that it was an unfamiliar number.
“Hello Sir, I just want to inform you that your company is on fire, please hurry up so that you might be able to save some useful stuff before it’s ruined.”
With that, the stranger hangs up the call.
“Damn it!” Logan cursed and got down from the bed.
“I am sorry Crystal, an emergency has come up at the office, but there is nothing to be worried about, I will come back soon,” he informed her.
Crystal was disappointed, but she did not show it, she had gotten all aroused for this to happen.
“Alright, just be careful,” she replied and he nodded.
“Don’t go anywhere and I would love to see you naked when I come back,” Logan said in a hurry and she blushed.
He quickly locked the upper buttons of his shirt and straightened his tuxedo, then he grabbed his car keys and rushed off.
Crystal sat up and pulled up the breast caps of her gown, she touched her lips and smiled, fantasizing over the little intimate moment that they had.
That taste of liquor and mint was still there on her lips and she licked them clean, she lay back on the bed with smiles on her face, imagining how hot and fun the night would be, only if she knew what awaits her.
