Tia.

Luke started the car, and we left the mansion; instead of heading home, he drove towards the cliff. I was silent although the drive and did not say a word. I knew the situation was worse than he was letting out.

When we got to the spot. He stopped his car and exited, then came to open the door on my side, and I reluctantly came out. He opened the car trunk and brought a big picnic basket, cooler, mat and three giant pillows. He planned on spending time here.

“I see you came prepared,” I said, and he smiled at me. Spreading the mat and taking off his shoes. To my surprise, he also brought a pair of shorts and a t-shirt to wear for comfort. He changed in my presence, and even his hot body could not lift my spirit at that moment. Luke arranged everything neatly and motioned me to join him. “Come here, Tia,” He said and sat on the mat. I took off my shoes, unbuttoned the first few buttons of my dress, and sat next to him on the mat.

He held me close and kissed my neck gently. “Tia,” he breathed close to my ears, and I realised he wasn’t playing fair at that moment. I was fighting with myself to hold still, but my body and insides were going to betray me. “I am sorry I did not tell you what was really happening. I do not think it is serious. We haven’t suffered any casualties so far, and we have bigger issues like Luis to deal with,” he explained.

“But you should have told me what was really going on. When were you going to tell me? Was it when it got out of hand, and you had to go? I know how things work, Luke; remember I went to the academy. Don’t lie to me. Please, tell me exactly how it is,” I pleaded with him bracing myself to hear it. “It is exactly what I said, Tai. I made it seem more serious than it really was because I did not want to deploy soldiers to guard Stacy’s parents. That would be an abuse of power. The issue with this Regan guy is her baggage. Why should we bear it for her? She is a gold-digging bitch that left her boyfriend for a rich

Alpha. No one said it at the table, but that is true. All that bullshit about the guy being mean and dangerous was crap. She didn’t need to meet my father to leave him if that were true. If Regan Adhit exist and really what she says is true, then he is right to try to settle scores as far as he is concerned. A rich Alpha took his bitch away just because he could.” Luke said that that sentence made something click in my head in those moments. It was so intense that I could not speak.

“Tia, Tia..” Luke said with concern.

“Luke..” I managed.” Could Regan be Luis?” I asked, and He looked at me for a few seconds before his eyes widened.

“Wait, Tia, they seem similar, but Luis is a wealthy man. Why will he need to blackmail her?” He asked.

“To keep her on her toes to remind her of him. So she would never really be free,” I said, and he nodded slightly.

“You might be on to something, but let us not jump to conclusions. This is Stacy we are talking about. She might have concocted that story to cover the real reason she was blackmailed. If Luis is Regan, then he exists, and she would not have any problems with us finding the bastard and dealing with him. I doubt Regan exists, Tia,” Luke said, and he made a valid point. Her reluctance to allow Luke to hunt the bastard down spoke volumes. Any woman in her right mind would have welcomed the idea of finding Regan to end her misery, but she was adamant and did not want Luke to find him. That was proof that she was lying, and she only concocted that story to put everyone off her trail.

“Why will she jeopardise Caleb’s reputation, though?” I asked, and Luke laughed a bit.

“Stacy only cares about herself. Caleb will never be Alpha, and she knows my father loves Caleb. She also knows my father would not kick her out or let her go. If not for the sake of love, then for the sake of his ego.” Luke said, and I knew he might be right, but I also knew Stacy loved Caleb and would not want to hurt her son.

“I doubt Stacy would want to hurt Caleb, let alone his reputation,” I said, and Luke began to laugh.

“Tia, you of all people should know that is not true. She has hurt Caleb more than anyone in that house. Forcing my father to make me marry you, knowing full well her son was in love with you. Forcing Kimberly into his life so she could milk the Miles for money, Stacy will use anyone, including her son, to get what she wants. And if messing with Caleb’s reputation will stop my father from digging into her affairs, so be it?” he said, and I was silent because the woman was selfish like that.

“She had weighed the stakes, Tia. The truth might be worse than what she told us. Stacy is a master manipulator. There is a possibility she has measured the stakes, and this was the best option,” Luke said, and I realised that the woman had no limits.

“So what will happen when her folks come to live in the mansion?” I asked Luke, and he laughed.

“I have emptied my father’s account, and he knows it. She won’t get more than her allowance and will not have access to money. If what she says is true, she should be comfortable not paying the guy once her parents are in the mansion, but if it is not true, she will still be looking for money at all costs,” he said, and I understood the plan. It was creative, and I was eager to see where it would lead.

“Although I will still look for this Adhit guy if he exists. I do not want anything that would ruin Caleb’s reputation,” he confessed, and I was proud of him. It was amazing that they still looked out for each other even with all the tension between them. Caleb found Gabriel for Luke, and Luke is now determined to find Adhit for Caleb’s sake. I guess they were closer than they knew.

“Tia,” Luke said with a low tone, and I knew what he wanted to tell me was serious. I braced myself for his words. ” I do not want you to get involved with Caleb’s relationship. If anything happens to that baby, Stacy will pin it on you. Stay away from Kimberly as far as possible, Please. I agree with you that what Caleb is doing is wrong but leave them alone. Do not talk about them again. Please, Tia,” he said, and I knew he was right. I nodded, and he pulled the picnic cooler close.

“I brought beers,” he said, and I laughed at him. It was afternoon, but it was five o’clock somewhere, so drinking was allowed. I figured the whole calling the defence centre was a lie,

too, and he just wanted to get out of the mansion.

“You were never going to the defence centre, were you?” I asked him, and he began to laugh.

“Today is Saturday, Tia, and I have only been married for roughly six months. I plan on spending a lot of time with my wife. Of course, I wasn’t going anywhere, but there was no way I was staying longer in that place.” he confessed, and we both laughed because the feeling was mutual about leaving the Moon mansion as quickly as possible. The place was glum, and Stacy was a handful. Elisabeth was also there. It carried all our problems. “Luke, how will you handle co-parenting with Elisabeth with Joey in the picture?” I asked him, and he sighed, opened a beer and passed it to me, and I took a swig. He took another bottle and opened it for himself.

“My father wants to keep the child. I will find a way, but can we not talk about any of those things now. I did all this so we could spend time together,” he said, and I had butterflies in my stomach when I remembered what we did last night. He looked at me, and his eyes said it all. He knew what I was thinking.

Luke caressed my cheek with her thumb and index finger.

“You weren’t meant to enjoy your punishment, Tia,” he said, and I exhaled, remembering the whole thing. I should be naughty more often if that was how he planned on punishing me.

“Who said I did?” I lied, and he raised an eyebrow at me. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Your eyes and body language say so,” he said and sniffed the air.” Your arousal says so,” he said, and I felt shy remembering everything. It was hot, intense and memorable. I never knew we could make love like that. It was new and exciting, and I enjoyed every bit of it. The helplessness caused by the cuffs, the

bottled-up orgasms and the final release, The way he took me and ravaged my body. I could not help it. Luke put down his beer and unbuttoned my dress until my bra was exposed. He unhooked them from the front and pulled them out. They were strapless, so it was easy. He clutched my breast in his hand and leaned close to my ear to whisper.

“Next time, I will spank you, Tia, and it would be hard,” he said, and my mind was already in the gutters. I heard something else entirely, and before I could say much, he crashed his lips against mine. I responded hungrily, and he broke the kiss.

“I want pups, Tia. I know it is a bit too soon and maybe too early in marriage, and I do not want to put pressure on you, but I want pups,” he said, and I wanted them too. I wanted his pups. He crashed his lips on mine and kissed me hungrily. It was in the afternoon, but I did not care, I was already high on lust, and my body was burning with passion, craving his touch and wanting him to give me release. When he placed his mouth on my nipples, all my cares took a back seat in my mind. I moaned and relaxed to enjoy the moment.
