Chapter 18: Everything Has Changed
~ Constantine/Cameron ~
I kissed her forehead. Her scent made me crazy. I wanted to devour her badly, but then I stopped.
“Constantine?”
“You are no longer my mistress. If we did it here, my father wouldn’t believe you had been appointed as my housekeeper.”
“So?” Victoria’s lovely eyebrows rose, creating a beautiful arc. “You changed your mind!” Her voice was cheerful.
I touched her eyebrows with my fingers. Smiling, she was so pretty and mine.
“What?” She stared at me.
“Nothing. Your eyebrows are beautiful.”
“Only my eyebrows?”
I chuckled. “My beautiful lady is longing for a compliment. Why didn’t you say so?”
She rewarded me with a light punch on my chest. “If I should say it, it would be quite embarrassing.”
I laughed again until she silenced me with her kiss. Her hand roamed everywhere and stopped at the lower part of my stomach. Then it went lower.
I let out a sigh. Though I wanted it badly, I must deny it now. “Victoria, it’s not a good idea.”
“How can we give your father a grandpup if we can’t do it?” She moved away from me and hugged herself.
“Victoria, that’s not what I meant. We’ll still do it, but not here.“
“Oh?” Again, her pretty eyebrows arched high. “So?”
“Though it was my room, it’s still my father’s house,” I explained it to her. “Let’s go to my place. It will be our new home.”
Victoria nodded and stood. After I stood too, she hugged my waist. “I love staying in your house. It will be lovely to live with you day and night.”
When we were about to walk out of the room, suddenly, I saw Michael from the peephole. I didn’t intend to check the outside, but it was a reflex I built for precaution. Michael couldn’t see me, but clearly, he observed my room. What’s he doing here?
Victoria touched my forehead. “You’re frowning. What happened?”
“Michael Wolfie seems a spy. I don’t know his intention, but stay away from him.”
“I have something to tell you. Michael was someone we knew from the past.”
“Oh? Who was he?” I frowned.
“He was Kenneth. You paid him before to kidnap Helena’s mother.”
“A thug …. No wonder in the next life, he still becomes one.”
“There’s another thing.”
“What is it?”
Victoria stared at me for a few seconds, then bit her lower lip. “I dislike telling you this.”
“Tell me.”
She didn’t want to look me in the eye. “I hated you because of this.”
“It’s even more important to tell me. What is this about?”
Victoria blew her breath. “Let’s sit first.”
After we both sat again, Victoria bit her lower lip again. “You sent him to my room in the past.”
“For what?”
“You asked me to seduce and kill him. I … He forced himself on me, but I killed him instantly when he had his climax.”
I let out a heavy sigh. Hearing my bad past was difficult, especially since I cared so much for Victoria. “You must hate me afterward.”
“I did.”
“I’m sorry, Victoria. I was completely a jerk.” Then I shook my head, as if I tried to chase away the ghost from the past. It was so disgusting to hear what I did in the past. “But why didn’t you leave me? You must suffer a lot being my mistress.”
She smiled a little. Her smile was a sad one as it didn’t reach her eyes. “I loved you. Well, I still love you until now. I guess it’s what people say, as love is blind.”
“Victoria ….”
She shook her head and laid her head on my shoulder. “It’s not all bad. I enjoyed many things with you. But I didn’t know why I couldn’t see other men after knowing you helped those street children. You’re the only one in my heart.”
My heart raced wildly to hear her say that. I was indeed a lucky bastard. Having such a beautiful, loyal, and determined woman beside me, I was blessed enormously by The Highest One. But then, suddenly, I remembered something. “You said you couldn’t see other men. Were there any men who wanted you?”
She blushed, then nodded. “Yes. They offered me the same position as most of them were married men. However, some single men weren’t wealthy enough, so they couldn’t offer me a marriage.”
“Why didn’t you ask for a wedding from me?”
“Since you didn’t want to marry anyone.” But then, Victoria bent her head. “Well, later, you changed your mind. But before that, you wanted to marry Helena.”
“I messed up so many things. Why did I want Helena?”
“Because you had an ambition for power. You wanted to conquer the world.”
I clucked my tongue. “I was a fool.” Later, I kissed Victoria’s hair. “I traded my world for the world out there, but I have learned my lesson and won’t repeat the mistake any more.” I kissed her forehead. “You are my world, and I promise you. I won’t let you go. I will protect you for the rest of my life.”
Victoria hugged my neck and then buried her head on my neck. I felt wet there. “Darling, are you crying?”
She laughed and cried simultaneously. She looked at me. Her cheeks were wet with tears, and her voice was hoarse, but she was still the most beautiful girl to me. “Yes, I’m so happy.”
“Silly girl.” But I grinned. Seeing her smile like that was priceless. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Then I bent to kiss her lips.
What started as a consoling and loving kiss immediately turned into a passionate one. I coaxed Victoria to open her mouth and explored her mouth with my tongue. She matched my challenge with the same eagerness. But when her bottom touched my hardness, I growled.
“You move too much.”
“Oh? Do I turn you on?” She grinned.
Naughty girl! “You know you do.”
She placed her hand on my manhood and squeezed it. “Ah, it should hurt. Do you want to do it now?”
I took a deep breath. Right now, I wanted to choke her beautiful neck. But, instead, she grinned at me, definitely successful in provoking me. I knew I wouldn’t get bored with her. “Wait until we arrive at my house. Then I will eat you until you can’t walk for days.”
“Really? I’ll expect it from you, my lord.”
“Can you stop it?”
“What?”
“Calling me as ‘your lord’ as it’s weird.”
She shrugged. “As you wish, my love. Though in the past life, you loved it when I addressed you with ‘my lord’. After all, you were a royal werewolf.”
“I’m no longer a royal werewolf. Everything has changed. Now, officially claiming you as mine is the most important thing for me.”
“Then what are we waiting for here?”
