Chapter 56 Chapter 56
Bella's POV.
The following morning after we made love for the second time...
Light filled the room, coaxing me from my deep slumber to awaken. I stretched out and slowly opened my eyes. It was a new beautiful day to restart my new trance-free life. I glanced beside me, Alpha Jacob Shepard, who lay fast asleep… wow what a view, his lovely face looked younger, relaxed in sleep. His sculpted, pouty lips were parted slightly and his shiny, clean hair is a glorious mess.
How can anyone look this good and still be an Alpha? This life was sometimes unfair to others... I sighed softly because the beautiful man who lay next to me was all mine... My very own personal Alpha.
His face was so tempting to touch but I held myself back to allow him to get the rest he had not seen in the past two months of my tormenting trances… I could have gazed at him all day, but I had bathroom needs calling to me…
Quietly slipping out of bed, I found a white v-neck t-shirt on the floor and I shrugged it on, it fitted me like my Mickey mouse t-shirt dress, he was taller than me, therefore I understood the fitting in the shirt. I walked into the bathroom and stared at myself in the gigantic mirror above the sink.
Do I look different? I rubbed my belly, thinking that I might be carrying the next heir of the midnight pack. I tilted my head to one side while looking for any changes to my body…I felt a little bit sore if I were honest about my second sexual encounter with Jacob, but I loved every bit of the feeling it gave me. I sat down on the toilet seat and peed, relinquishing my bladder of the strain I held onto.
I got up and darted back in the mirror and my hair was its usual wayward self, and just fucked hair did not suit me. I ran my fingers through it to try to bring order to the chaos but failed miserably and I gave up. Besides, this will not be the first time he was going to see me like this. I marveled if he ever paid attention to me in the past two months every morning he woke up next to me. I sighed softly then decided to leave the bathroom.
As I'm quietly walking into the room, I spot Jacob's black iPod carelessly laying on the dresser.
I wonder what kind of music he listened to. I picked it up and plugged the earphones in my ears, then pressed the play button.
And the type of song that played caught me off guard, the strong most powerfully feared Alpha fancied Ed Sheeran's songs… he was a macho man with a unique taste in music.
Ed Sheeran's thinking-out-loud song played in my ears, then a radiating smile emitted on my face while I peeked at him.
Never would I have guessed that he would love such music. My stomach growled out loud, I could hear it over the earphones plugged into my ears.
I'm starving, hence I headed to the kitchen, situated downstairs... sleeping beauty was still peacefully sleeping, so I left him knowing he deserved it while I headed for the kitchen.
I noticed that the mansion was quieter than usual, I wondered where did all the busy servants go to… even the ever-busy Gamma Nick was nowhere in sight. I frowned but continued walking straight to the kitchen.
When I arrived at the once busy industrious kitchen, there was no one in sight… did Jacob give everyone a day off?
I get into the kitchen and the cupboards had no handles on them… it took me a few seconds to deduce that I had to push them in for them to open.
Perhaps I should cook, Jacob's breakfast… but I had no idea what he loved to eat hence I decided to cook up an omelet as that was something super easy to get done with.
I walked over to the fridge and checked it, in the fridge, I found plenty of eggs and I decided I wanted pancakes with bacon instead. I set about, making some butter, and dancing my way around the huge kitchen.
Being busy was good, as it allowed me a bit of time to think but not too deeply… the romantic blaring music playing in my ears helped to stave off any deep thoughts about the past two months.
My mind is distracted by the memory of last night, his words, his body, his lovemaking… I closed my eyes as my body hummed at the recollection and my muscles contract deliciously deep in my belly. I smiled and then shook my head to concentrate on the task at hand. Ed Sheeran's song is singing in my ears about the perfect love that seemed to have located me.
I placed the bacon under the grill to keep it warm while I whisked some eggs. I turned and Jacob was sitting on one of the barstools at the breakfast bar, leaning in on it, his face supported by his muscular arms. He wore a t-shirt he slept in… just fucked hair really suited him as does his light stubble. He looked both amused and bewildered hence I froze, flushed, and then gathered myself. He always had a way of making me feel like a sixteen years old in love with his gaze.
I pulled the headphones out of my ears, my knees weak at the sight of him.
"Good morning kitten. You are very energetic this morning." He said.
"It's because I slept well. Where is everyone else?"
"I can not imagine why?" He let out a naughty smirk on his face. " I gave everyone this weekend off." he summed up.
Now that makes perfect sense because everyone had been tirelessly working hard nonstop for the past two months, tending to my crazy needs.
"Are you hungry?" I glanced at him with bedroom eyes.
"Very." He said with an intense stare and I did think he referred to food.
"I made pancakes, bacon, and eggs."
"That, all sounds great."
"This kitchen is so massive, I can't find any placemats." I shrugged trying desperately hard not to look flustered.
"I will do that. You cook… would you like me to put on some music so you can continue your dancing?"
I stared down at my feet, knowing very well that I was turning puce.
"Please do not stop on my account, it is very entertaining." His tone of voice was very amusing.
I pursed my lips. Entertaining, eh? My wolf had doubled over in laughter at me. I quickly veered around and continued whisking the eggs, probably beating them a little harder than necessary.
In a moment, he stood beside me, smacking my ass hard.
"I'm in love with this." He whispered causing my insides to tingle with happiness.
Never in. A million years did I think I was going to have such a relationship with my man in my happily ever after all the misfortune that followed me around…
"How would you love your eggs?" I asked ignoring his statement about my butt… he smiled.
"Thoroughly whisked and beaten." He smirked.
This guy is teasing me.
I turned to the other side to concentrate on the task at hand, trying so hard to hide my smile.
He was hard to stay mad at, especially when he was being so uncharacteristically playful, a side of him I had never seen ever since I arrived.
He opened a drawer and took out two plates for the breakfast and I dished out the egg mix onto a pan, pulled out the bacon, and placed it on the plates.
When I turned around, there was orange juice on the table and he was making coffee.
"Would you like some tea?" He asked.
"Yes please."
He poured out two cups of coffee and set them on the table.
"Luna Bella." He pointed to the barstool for me to sit on.
"Alpha Jacob." I nodded in acknowledgment and climbed up and winced slightly as I sat down.
"Just how sore are you,?" He asked as he sat down next to me.
I flushed, why did he ask such a personal question??? I understood we were husband and wife in the human world but his question had me thinking otherwise.
I kept quiet and never responded to his question, as I quickly stuffed myself with a mouthful of food.
"What shall we do today?" I asked with an inquisitive stare.
"We can do whatever you want." He sipped on the cup of coffee he had made.
"Ok, I want us to go on a date like a normal couple… then we can get to know each other better." I bit my bottom lip.
"Stop biting your lips, it is very distracting and I happen to know that you are not wearing anything under my shirt, which makes it even more distracting."
I chewed slowly, as my mind was in a whirl of emotions… this man is very naughty.
I swallowed hard with widened eyes.
"Are you done eating? If yes let's go take a bath together and go for that date you want so much." He leaned in and kissed me lovingly.
My heart leaped and desire pooled way down low to my coochie... I wanted him to make love to me again and again like he did last night.
Never had I shared a bath with a man. I wonder how it would work out. I willingly got up from the bar stool and clasped his hand as we both headed to the bathroom together.
