Chapter 33: Nicollas gets upset

(POV: Lina)

"Lina?" I hear someone call my name softly. "Lina?" They call my name again.

"Hmm," I mumble, turning over in bed.

"Lina, wake up, lazybones," I sense a warm kiss on my back.

"Only five more minutes," I whine.

"No way! It's time to wake up, my beautiful wolf," Nicollas says and lies on top of me. I startle and let out a little scream.

"Okay! Okay! I'm awake," I say, kissing his chin.

"Now get up. We have a lot to do, especially since you want your friend as our neighbor," he says. Getting up from bed and heading to the bathroom.

I think he didn't like the idea of having neighbors.

In one jump, I get out of bed and follow him to the bathroom, opening the door and finding him walking toward the shower. I run and hug him from behind.

"I love you," I say, my face pressed against his back.

He doesn't say anything, only keeps walking. We step into the shower together, and with me still clinging to his back. I sense the cold water on my head, and I let go of him with a little jump and an unsatisfied shriek.

He looks at me with an annoyed expression, but then he smiles and embraces me.

"I love you too," he declares, nibbling on my earlobe, sending shivers down my spine.

His hand moves toward my intimate area. His fingers circle my most sensitive spot, and a moan escapes my mouth.

"So ready for me," he says, sucking my lower lip. "Too bad we can't linger in the shower," he adds, moving away and going under the water.

I continue looking at him like a fool. Seriously? He teases me and leaves me hanging like this?

This won't be the end of it! Nicollas Hunter, you just wait!

I smile, thinking of my elaborate plan. I step into the shower and grab the liquid soap. I walk behind Nicollas and start rubbing it on his back, then on his thighs, and I turn him around to face me. He keeps his eyes closed, and I smile at this.

I take more soap and apply it on his chest, down to his marvelous abs. I then proceed to his member, running my hand up and down its length. I hear Nicollas let out a small moan, and I continue soaping his member until I feel it pulsating in my hand. At that moment, Nicollas opens his eyes and looks at me with an angry glare.

"Why did you stop?" he asks, his eyebrows furrowing in irritation.

"We can't take too long," I retort, soaping myself as well.

He looks at me with anger and frustration but doesn't say anything. I know he's upset that I didn't finish the job, and I know he'll want to get back at me later, but he started this!

In less than five minutes, we finish our shower and head to the closet. I pick a tight, sky-blue dress that flares from the hips to the knees (I love this kind of dress). Nicollas puts on dark-washed jeans and a white dress shirt, rolling up the sleeves to his elbows. I have to admit, I didn't think he could get even more handsome than he already is, but he did, and my intimate area bothers me again, making me rub my thighs together.

"Let's go?" he says as we leave the closet, passing through the bedroom, and stop in the kitchen.

I go to the fridge and grab eggs and bacon. I head to the cabinet and get a frying pan, while Nicollas prepares the juice.

"Let's go; we need to see a construction company," Nicollas says, wiping his mouth with a napkin.

I nod and head for the mansion's exit. Nicollas opens the door but stops right there. I ask what's wrong, but he doesn't reply. I ask again, still getting no answer. I decide to push him and see for myself what's going on.

Wow! How did they come here? I observe the construction workers setting things up in front of our house. I don't notice when Albert approaches.

"Good morning, Luna," he says, extending his hand. I stop observing the work and look at him, shaking his hand.

"Good morning, Albert."

"Good morning, Supreme!" Nicollas greets from behind me, and seriously, he thinks I didn't notice him there?

"Good morning, Albert! What's all this?" Nicollas points to the men working.

"Well, since I didn't want to wait too long, I took the liberty of hiring the team that will hand me the keys to the finished house in a week. Sorry if I went ahead too soon."

"No, we were just going to leave now to deal with that, but since you already took care of it, that's fine. Where's Sophie?" I notice Albert's cheeks getting slightly pink.

"S-She's resting."

"Alright, I'll go visit her. Is that okay, Nicollas?"

"Sure, do you know where his house is?"

"No! You'll take me, and then you can come back and help Albert here."

Nicollas looks at me with an expression I can't decipher, but it sends shivers down my spine. He goes inside the house and comes out a little while later with the car keys in his hand. We head to his Ferrari, and he speeds off.

"Nicollas, what happened? Why are you acting like this?"

"Lina, understand that I'm the Supreme, and you're my Luna. I'm the one who gives the orders. You're talking to me as if I were your servant, and that's not how things work."

"Are you upset with me just because I told you to take me to see Sophie and then come back to help Albert?" I ask, not believing what I just heard.

"No! I'm upset about the way you spoke to me, as if I were your puppy wagging its tail and rolling on the floor when you tell it to," he says, gripping the steering wheel tightly. "Everyone was looking at me and holding back their laughter."

I say nothing; I don't want to argue this early, so I just settle back in my seat and look out the window, trying to put my thoughts in order.

After about half an hour, we arrive at a property that must belong to Albert. I get out of the car, still feeling foolish from Nicollas's antics. What a silly attitude!

I snap out of it and head toward the house in front of me. I knock three times, and Anabelly opens the door, smiling at me.

"Hi, Ana!" I say, hugging her.

"Hi, Lina. Sophie is in the room."

"Okay, thanks, dear!"

I pass Ana and climb the stairs, using my sense of smell to find Sophie's room. The scent I smell is a mixture of Sophie and Albert's, so I can imagine what they were up to.

I knock on the door, but there's no response. I turn the doorknob, and the door opens. I step into the room and turn on the light, and there's Sophie sleeping on the bed. I walk over to an

armchair next to the bed; I won't sit on the bed, as it smells like intimate contact.

I approach Sophie and wake her up. She opens her eyes wide when she sees me, sits up in bed, and pulls the sheet over herself. I laugh at the scene.

"What are you doing here, Lina? Where's Albert?"

"I came to visit you, of course!" I sit back in the armchair. "Albert is with Nicollas right now."

"Oh! Sorry for receiving you like this!" she says, her cheeks blushing.

"It's okay. I can tell your night was pretty eventful, huh?"

"Lina, you have no idea! He made me feel things I never imagined in my life!" she says, covering her face with her hands.

I can't help but burst into laughter.

"It's alright; I know exactly how that feels. Nicollas makes me feel the same way. It's just a shame that the next day I was kidnapped." I stop laughing at the memory.

"But that's in the past; I'm sure you two made up for it, right?" she asks with a mischievous grin.

"Hmm, and it was amazing!" I say, remembering the incredible moments we had.

We spend the morning chatting, and Sophie practically jumped with joy when I told her I was pregnant.

After a while, I decide to leave, saying my goodbyes to Sophie and Ana.

I'm still upset about the conversation I had with Nicollas earlier, so I decide to walk to clear my mind.

"Why does your father have to be like this? So complicated," I say, caressing my belly.
