Chapter 31

Book:Sleeping Beauty Published:2024-5-28

Zach looked into her eyes and he saw pure desire swirling in those blue orbs. Her sweet scent was growing sweeter. He could smell it all over her and just then he knew she was aroused. Her musk was calling to every unmated male wolf in the room.
Without warning, he swept her off her feet and brought her on his shoulder. She squealed from the sudden movement and blushed when she heard the sounds of whistles from men on the corner. Probably because her butt was hanging from Zach’s shoulder and she was afraid they were seeing the way she was squeezing from the tightness of her shorts. Still she was glad they weren’t seeing her red face.
“Get out!” Zach boomed at the whole room. Anna jumped slightly from the tone of his voice just as she felt everyone rushing to get out.
“Zach, be careful with that vixen!” she heard Andrew yelling.
Once they were alone, she felt him walking around the room and God knows where. Then he stopped and placed her on her feet. She stood there and looked up at him slightly flustered. “Why command everyone to leave?” she asked.
His face softened and he chuckled low enough for her to hear the strain in his voice. “Because,” he said, “someone’s a jealous feisty little feline.. and I can smell her lust.” He walked to her and tucked a fallen hair behind her ear.
“In fact, everyone can smell her lust,” he murmured. “But I’m not keen on sharing.”
She smiled slightly. “I’m not, either.”
“You better be.”
“You’re such a possessive little boy, you know that?”
“Little?”
“Well, a possessive old man.” She smiled innocently.
“You bad little kitty.”
“You know you love me, Zach.”
Now there she went again, he thought. Saying his name with that soft sexy voice. It was hot.
Seeing the way his eyes burned, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him softly, lightly biting his bottom lip. She pulled back and smiled at his mesmerized face.
“Bad, bad, bad little kitty,” he said while shaking his head. He slowly walked towards her as she took steps backward. “You know what I do to bad girls?” he asked.
She bit her bottom lip and shook her head.
He smirked. “Punishment.”
The rest of the day, Zach trained Anna and as always she ended up beyond exhausted and out of breath. Despite everything, Zach never once faltered. She was also advised not to eat too much food. Though she knew all too well that it was for his own benefits.
A few hours later, Anna stood in front of the McQueen Mansion and turned around to face Zach. She smiled. “Thank you for tonight.”
“My pleasure.” He leaned down his head and gave her a goodnight kiss.
Pulling away, she slowly opened the door and walked inside halfway, never taking her eyes off him.
“Anna, Sweetheart,” her Grandmother called. “Is that Zach outside?”
“Uhm.” Anna looked back at her Grandmother who stood halfway through the living room. “Yes, Grandma.”
“Why don’t you ask him to stay for dinner, Dear?”
“OK.”
Anna opened the door wide to a smirking Zach. “Would you like to stay for dinner?” she asked.
“Of course, Kitten.”
Lola was still preparing dinner when they came inside the kitchen. “Good evening, Mrs. McQueen,” Zach greeted. Anna couldn’t help but smile at his adorable face. He looked like a cute little boy trained to be obedient at any chance just to get what he wanted.
Lola turned. “Oh, hello, Zach.” She smiled. “Thank you for bringing Anna home safely.”
“It’s my duty,” he said.
“Oh, such gentleman you are, Zach,” Lola complimented as gratitude. “Isn’t he, Anna?”
Anna blushed.
Zach smirked as he looked over her face.
The dinner took longer than usual. Zach seemed like such a smart man. They talked about certain things with witty comments and opinions. Anna couldn’t help but feel fascinated with the way he clasps his hands together and leans his chin on it. Everything about him screams confidence and strength.
“Anna, can you please bring out the dessert, Dear?” asked Lola which brought Anna out of her trance.
Nodding her head, she stood up and went inside the kitchen. She took the chocolate cake from the refrigerator, her favorite, and cut three pieces from it then she placed them each on a piece of plate. With a tray on both hands, she walked out of the kitchen and went to the dining room.
“I’m claiming her on her eighteenth birthday,” she heard Zach’s deep voice stating.
“She won’t understand. She’s still young. You must explain this to her.”
“Explain what?” Anna asked as she entered the room. She placed one piece of cake in front of Grandma and one in front of Zach. Sitting down on her chair, she placed her piece of cake in front of her and looked between Grandma and Zach in wonder.
“Anna,” Lola called. “You’re turning eighteen soon, aren’t you?”
“Yes.”
“And you’re going to be a big girl by then?”
“Yes.”
“We’ll have a grand celebration. People will come to celebrate with us and you’ll be declared our Luna.”
She frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Oh, Dear,” Lola sighed. “You’ll understand in time.”
“Oh.” She looked at Zach for a brief moment then looked down at her food. “OK.”
After dinner, Zach insisted on cleaning the table whilst she washed the dishes. She was leaning over the sink when she felt a hard body pressing against her back. Her hair was placed down her right shoulder then arms came around her as she felt him kissing the exposed skin of her neck.
“Zach,” she moaned softly. Her sweet voice was so sexy that Zach couldn’t help but find it arousing the way she said his name. “Zach, stop.”
And both knew she didn’t want him to stop. He continued to kiss down to her shoulder but when his hand lowered down her stomach, she turned around quickly and pushed him against the counter whilst she went straight to the other side.
“C’mere, Kitty,” Zach purred.
She gave him a sarcastic smile before she lashed out of the kitchen room running away from him. His eyes dilated almost immediately, excited to hunt his prey and do the chasing. His wolf went wild as he chased after her to the living room.
When he caught her, he wrapped his arms tight around her waist and tackled her to the ground. She yelped and cried out as he hovered above her and brought her arms above her head, locking himself in between her parted legs. He kissed down the side of her neck and tickled the sensitive skin below her ear.
He smiled triumphantly when he heard her laugh turning into a silent moan. Little did she know that he had just planned to bite her directly where he had found her good spot. He couldn’t wait.
When they heard Lola’s voice calling from somewhere, Zach groaned to himself and pulled away from her. Soon enough, she was standing outside the front doors kissing Zach goodbye and goodnight.
As the front doors closed, Zach walked back to his truck and waited. When the last light in the house turned off, he got out of his truck immediately and climbed up the third floor. He entered her open window and walked inside her room.
She wasn’t there.
Yet, the room was glowing in a dim peach light. Then he heard the sound of rushing water from the bathroom and her sweet voice was singing a lullaby. He sighed and sat down upon her bed, removing his clothes and shoes.
When the bathroom door slid open, he watched transfixed as she walked out naked. Oblivious to the knowledge of his presence, she walked to her closet and wore her underwear and pajamas which were a comfy shirt and comfy shorts.
She turned around and gasped at the sight of him lying down her bed. He urged her to come to him with the motion of his finger. Her cheeks flamed as she walked to him. Once she laid down under the covers, she instantly snuggled to him, hugging him with one arm and one leg from the lower.
She gasped when she realized he was completely naked underneath. His soldier was poking her and his clothes and shoes were scattered all around the floor.
“Zach, you’re naked,” she said as if the fact was bothering her.
“It’s nothing you haven’t seen before,” he said, drawing her closer.
“Am I being selfish?” she asked.
“Why?”
“Because.. I’m keeping you all for myself every night taking you away from your people.”
“Yeah.” He chuckled. “You’re a thief, too.”
“What?”
“You stole my heart.”
“Cute.”
“Can you remove your clothes?”
“What?”
“Strip for me, Kitten.”
“Why?”
“Because I wanna feel you.”
“Oh. OK.”
Pulling away from him, she sat up and hesitantly lifted the hem of her shirt, slowly taking it off of her and revealing her full ample breasts. Next came off her underwear and comfy shorts. She crawled back to him and snuggled into his arms.
He wrapped his arms around her feeling the smoothness of her soft skin against him and smelled in her sweet scent that always brought him back home.
“Much better.”
