Isabella – Episode 54
EPILOGUE
It was eleven O’clock at night, and Raymond was nowhere to be found.
I paced around the living room,glancing back and forth between my dark phone screen and the dark outdoors with the hope of a sign of life would appear in one of them.
We should have been having our late night dessert in bed by now. But instead, I was still dressed and waiting to have dinner with a man who was four hours late! The excitement I had felt when the clock had struck seven had slowly faded to anger before worry and frustration took its place as one hour turned into several.
I wrung the belt of my robe before I grabbed my phone and dialed Kelly for the tenth time that night. The moment he answered, I began unloading my frustration before he could speak.
“How can a grown man basically disappear from the face of the earth? No text! No calls! He couldn’t even send a guard to inform me on his whereabouts. Is he dead, alive or hurt? On the run? Eloping because he had a secret love affair? Where the F*ck is my mate, Kelly?”
“I would have to be a special type of asshole to elope on our anniversary.”
I whirled around and narrowed my eyes at the bane of my existence standing in the entrance with an innocent smile on his face as if nothing was wrong!
Over the phone, Kelly cleared his throat.
“I was going to tell you that he was on his way home . I guess he is home already. Happy anniversary and goodnight.”
He ended the call before I could blink.
I closed my eyes and exhaled slowly, tossing my phone on the table and marching into the kitchen.
Don’t strangle him. Don’t strangle him. Don’t strangle him.
“Baby”
I spun around on my heel and pointed a finger at him, stepping back as I realized he was right behind him.
“Stop. Don’t ‘baby’ me!”
I hated how delectable he look in that suit. It made me so much harder to stay angry when all I wanted to do was rip his clothes off and make up for the time we had lost.
His eyes traveled through my finger to my face as if he was not quite sure what to do, and I turned my back around only to grit my teeth at the now cold candlenight dinner set up.
It wasnt easy for me to make all this food. I had slaved over nearly three hours.
“Isabella, listen. I know you’re angry”.
” angry? ” I snapped.
“It isn’t enough to describe how I feel right now. I’m frustrated, pissed, hungry, tired, hurt and you have the audacity to stand there all cool and collected when you knew I was worried sick. You didn’t even bother to check in with me and let me know you were okay.
” Isabella, my phone died and….”
“What the fuck kind of excuse is that? Your phone died ? Kelly has a phone. Or did his coincidentally died too? ”
He opened his mouth and I waved my havd dismissively.
“It doesn’t matter now. It just sucks that I cleared my schedule, spent hours cooking and getting dressed up for someone who doesn’t even appreciate it.”
To add to my irritation, his gaze darted down to my body as if mind just registered that I was all dolled up. He took his time studying me from my curled waved to my dark red lips to my black silk robe that covered part of the special surprise I had for him, and his stormy eyes clouded with hunger.
Oh, he appreciated all right.
Too bad he wasn’t going to get to enjoy any of it.
“I can’t help it, if you don’t want to put in effort.”
He snapped his gaze back to my face and narrowed his eyes.
“What are you trying to say? That k am not putting effort into our relationship?”
“I didn’t say that. You did. When was the last time you spend time with your family? The last time you spend time with me?”
“That is f*cking bullshit and you know it. How many times have I….”
“Oh…so we are keeping scores now ?”
Our chests were rising and falling rapidly as we glared at each other, refusing to back down.
Early in our relationship, Raymond and I had quickly learned that when a couple consisted of two headstrong leaders, the only way to settle any argument was to either battle it out with our words or with our tongues.
Which was why one moment, we were in a stare down and the next, our lips were clashing together viciously.
I had no idea who moved first, but all I knew now was the feeling of his hands on my throat and in my hair, pulling my head back so he could lay his claim on my mouth properly. Meanwhile I was yanking on his tie and working his shirt out of his pants while trying to keep up with the heated pace of his tongue tangling with mine.
As his hand slide down from my neck to my chest, I waited for the moment he faltered against my mouth to push him back a few steps so he was up against the island. He grunted and tore his mouth away to narrow his eyes at me.
“What are you trying to do?”
“I’m trying to get even.” I huffed, ripping his belt off and tossing it to the side.
“Whatever that means.” He muttered,more preoccupied with running his lips down my neck and sinking teeth in my mark.
I squeaked in surprise as the zing of pleasure and pain traveled all the way down and pooled in my core while he soothed the burn with his tongue.
“It means stop trying to use my neck as a chew toy and let me-get-why is this so hard?” I growled, trying to work the zipper on his pants.
His lips twitched into a smug smirk as he moved back up to nip at my jaw.
“It is always f**king hard for you”
I stopped messing with the zipper and fisted his hair to pull him back.
“Was that an insult or a compliment?”
“Right now, I would say an insult.” He said, his face a mixture of amusement and frustration as he wound the ties of my robe around his hand and tugged me forward.
“You should never insult the Alpha if you don’t want him to bite back.”
“What if it was the Luna who insulted him because the Alpha was an asshole?”
The humor vanished from his face.
“The Luna should know that not everything is what it seems.”
The intense glaring commenced once again since neither one of us wanted to speak like we were supposed to at that moment. Instead, it was a waiting game to see who would make the first move.
And ultimately, submit.
I raised my chin and glanced at his swollen lips.
“Let’s go to the room.”
A few moment passed as he studied my face and slowly bit his bottom lips.
“Who said we even need to go to our room?”
**************
Tears leaked from the corners of my eyes and a sob of my lips, and he immediately moved on top of me, kissing me gently and coaxing me back slowly.
When my heart finally settled and my shaking stopped, my eyes flickered open and I stared at Raymond, who had a soft smile on his lips.
“We should do that more often.”
“You are going to kill me. ” I laughed running a hand through his hair.
He kissed the palm of my hand and sighed.
“Happy anniversary, baby. I’m so f**king sorry for being late.”
“I’m sorry I said you don’t put in effort. I know you do, just as much as I do if not more.”
He sighed. “It alright. As long as we love each other it enough.”
He grinned and got up carefully,cradling me in his arms.
“It is late but I still want my anniversary dinner with my Luna. ”
I smiled and curled around him, feeling slightly drowsy.
“You can eat, but I’m just going to stay like this. Maybe you can feed me a few bites before I sleep.”
He chuckled in reply and kissed the top of my head.Recommend you to download Topster Stories App for Exclusive Access To Erotic and Romantic stories
