Chapter 65
Avery's POV.
After a few minutes of persuasion, he finally agreed to my terms of keeping our relationship a secret till I'm ready to make it official.
"So, are there any other rules for me my love?" He asked as he reached behind my back and unclipped my hair.
A low groan escaped his mouth as my hair fell in waves around my back, a few strands coming forward.
"There's no other rule baby, I just want us to keep everything secret till further notice." I replied and he grabbed a few strands of my hair and inhaled it.
A good smell is enough to turn Erik on, as much as he's sadistic, he won't come near a woman with a bad smell no matter how beautiful she is or how horny he is.
He has his own principles and he doesn't like it being trampled upon.
He's a jealous and possessive lover, he likes his women to himself alone.
"Baby....your smell is intoxicating me and I want to get lost in them." He whispered and I let out a soft chuckle.
"Thank you baby but before you get lost in my scent..let's make a toast to our newly developed relationship. Shall we?" I asked standing up.
"Of course, though I'll love to have you instead of the drink, you're already intoxicating me and driving me insane." He joked and I laughed.
"I'll be right back."
I headed to the mini freezer on the far side of my bed and grabbed the drink.
Leilani had given me instructions on how to use it and I'm praying hard that it should work.
I grabbed it and two wine cups and headed towards him.
"Ready for some few shots?" I asked him with a wink.
"Forever ready as long as I'm with you, I should advise you not to drink much." He said and took the wine glass I handed over to him.
"Why?" I asked as I uncorked the wine and I'm surprised it makes the popped sound new wines make.
It's unbelievable, Leilani had packaged the herbs in another wine bottle we'd bought and poured the contents away.
She'd prepared the bottle in such a way that it looks new.
She's extremely talented and amazing.
"I wouldn't want you dozing off while I take you." He replied with an evil smirk and I gave a short laugh and filled our wine glass.
"To our love." I said as we toast.
"To our love baby." He said and took a sip of his wine.
"Woah...OMG! Which brand of wine is this? It tastes so good." He complimented and grabbed the bottle to look at the labeling.
"You like it?" I asked, sipping my own wine.
Leilani had given me something to take so the medicinal wine wouldn't have any effects on me.
"Well yes, I'll get this....it tastes so good, truth be told baby. It's the best wine ever."
Yep! It's the best wine ever and it would soon get you to start spitting all your evil plans.
"It's new in town and it's Leilani's choice though...I'm not so good at making wine selections." I said and dropped my glass.
"She'd made a good choice...I could have this for breakfast, lunch,dinner and dessert. Its flavor is giving me a good kick." He said draining his glass and refilling another one.
Well, this is going better than I expected. I thought I'll have to force him to drink but he's doing the job himself.
This feels good. I'll just relax and wait for the medicine to take effect, I'm so tired of his cheap words.
"Ain't you drinking again?" He asked as I relaxed my head.
"I am, I'm not really a fan of alcohol. I prefer taking it slowly." I replied with a smile and he shrugged and refilled his almost empty glass.
"You know baby, I don't like seeing you and Xander together and the facts that he's your training partner is painful to me." He said and I sat up feigning surprise.
"Why don't you like him? Shannon doesn't like him too, Xander is an easy going guy, if you get closer to him, you'll like him. He means no harm at all and he's really skilled in martial arts." I explained in a casual voice earning myself a frown from him.
"What's it?" I asked, looking at his face.
"I also don't like the idea of you praising another man in my presence. You're mine Avery, just mine alone." He declared, dropping his wine glass and staring lustfully at me.
Oh God!
When is the medicine supposed to take effect!
"Fine..I'm sorry. I'm yours and yours alone. Happy???" I asked him trying to play the game his own way till the medicine starts taking effect.
"That's like a good girl." He smirked and kissed my lips.
He took his wine glass again and sipped it.
"Uhmmm..excuse me bae.....I need to change into something more of your tastes." I said standing up.
"But I like you like this." He said greedily reaching for my boobs in the baggy clothes I wore.
"Nahhh, let me change into my purple nightie...you love purple, don't you?" I asked drawing back away from his greedy hands.
"Incredible! How did you know?" He asked, looking surprised.
I wanted to shout...because I was your wife, ass hole.
"I have a huge crush on you, remember? So I made it my duty to study you..your likes and dislikes, though I don't know much but I hope to find out more about you as we go." I explained shyly.
"You could have told me about it earlier, we would have started dating already and by now, you'll have had your Alpha by your side."
"My bad, but we're still at it, better late than never. Give me a few seconds, I'll be back as soon as possible." I said and headed towards my dressing section.
"Of course love, be fast with whatever you're doing or I might be tempted to come in there with you." He gave a low shout to me and I laughed.
I stepped into my dressing room and breathed hard.
This is gonna be a long night and I don't even know when the medicine will start taking effect.
I should have asked Leilani for every detail of it.
That murder is in my room planning all sorts of nonsense with his dirty and corrupt mind and here I am getting restless.
In case the herbs didn't work, I know the leaf Leilani gives me will work.
Xander had made me try it on him and it works perfectly.
Xander had told Leilani he's not having any doubt about her medicine but he wants to try it out himself so his mind would be at ease a bit when I'm with Erik.
When I had chewed the leaf and used it to kiss him, he'd immediately slept off and when he'd wake up..he confirmed that it had really felt like he had sex with me.
Leilani is just an incredible being and I have no idea how to describe her.
She'd also warned me about the herbs, she'd told me one important ingredient was missing and its effects on Erik might wear off sooner than expected.
She'd also instructed me not to ask too many questions or ambiguous ones that might look shocking to him.
If this happens, he'd immediately come back to his senses and that would be the end.
The herbs would sedate his wolf and render Erik vulnerable.
I was a bit skeptical but she'd assured me that in whatever I do, I should be fast and immediately I realized the medicine is wearing off, I should chew the leaf with me and kiss him immediately.
I changed into my nightie. Xander had kept the leaf at different sections of my room; besides my bedside table, under the bed lamp, under the pillows, inside my dressing table drawers, the bathroom and lastly the one I'm supposed to keep with me.
Xander is being careful and I blushed lightly at the thought of him.
He's a man who knows how to treasure a woman and he values me so much.
I just want all these problems to be over so I'll tell him everything about my mission.
The thought of leaving him after everything brought tears to my eyes and I quickly wiped it.
‘Sis, this ain't no time to fall weak....you need to be strong and get all these over with. No matter what, we need to get something out of that scumbag in your room tonight. So bolden up because we have something to do.’ Kira's voice rang in my head and I chuckled.
‘Thank you Kira.’ I said with a smile and she scoffed at me and withdrew to the back of my mind immediately I stepped out of the dressing room.
That had been her routine for weeks now, whenever I went closer to Erik, she tries to stay away as much as she can.
She despised him and the same goes for me.
"So how do I look?" I asked Erik who looked up at me and gave me his brightest smile.
"You look gorgeous, so gorgeous but I bet you'll look more eye-catching if I use my teeth to tear those fragile materials away from your sweet body. You're truly an amazing baby and I'm glad I've got you as mine."He complimented and stood up coming towards me.
Erik is very talented with words, he can sweet talk any lady to bed and before the lady would realize what's going on.
She'd have his dick buried deep in her.
Many ladies have fallen for him in that manner and it was Erik's words that got me attracted to him in my past life.
I looked towards the wine bottle and it was almost empty.
On getting close to me, he grabbed me and I crashed into him like a bundle of load.
I'm surprised how he didn't fall. I know I don't have a bulky built body but I have a bit of weight.
Leilani!
When are these herbs gonna start working?
