Chapter 54
AMELIA
I smoothed my blue dress as the car pulled over at the front of the pack house. I suddenly became nervous. Ryden and I waited for Ren’s parents to get out of the vehicle. Their details helped them out as we approached.
“Oba, Oji.” I bowed my head in respect to our guests for tonight. Ren welcomed his parents as well.
“Mr. and Mrs. Raito, please, welcome to our pack.” Ryden in his fancy well-tailored suit shook their hands and led them to the entrance hall with me by his side. He initially planned a dinner at the restaurant, but I suggested that it would be great to be done at the pack house so they could meet everyone, and the pack could join at the dining table.
I wanted to make a good impression, especially when Ryden’s name was on the line, the pack, and the Corporation. I even stressed about the five-course menu but everyone had been very helpful in making this dinner possible.
The dinner started smoothly. Our people dressed accordingly, which impressed me, and how they respected their alpha.
“This soup, my dear, is very good. The umami is flavorful.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Raito, but I can’t take the credit. Amelia, our chef, and everyone made sure they didn’t want to embarrass themselves. I’m happy to hear you love the food.”
“I agree. It tastes like home,” her husband James, agreed.
“Thank you, Oji James.” I couldn’t help but smile at their compliment. After the hard work, it was nice to know that it didn’t go to waste.
“I wasn’t always James. My name is Akimitsu, and some people found it difficult to pronounce, so I decided that everyone doesn’t have to adjust, and I should blend in, not that I’m ashamed of who I am. What you did, Amelia, is commendable. You’re a strong and resilient woman. Mr. Braxton is lucky to have you, like how lucky I am to have my lifetime partner.” James held his mate’s hand, squeezing it.
“I couldn’t agree more,” Ryden said and smiled at me.
When Mei called Ren’s name, everyone went completely silent. “Will you come with us, Ren?”
“Mom, if it’s regarding what we talked about on the phone, I respectfully decline. I will finish what we’ve started here. I don’t leave the job unfinished. Once it is done, then I’ll go home.”
“Very well. Take your time,” his father agreed.
The dinner ended with the dessert. And I just heard everyone sigh.
“Oh, dear. Did I make everyone uncomfortable?” Mei looked at everyone, and they went silent, almost holding their breaths. “Now I feel somehow responsible.” She laughed softly. “We’re all like one big family here. Enjoy the food. It’s bad luck to throw away, you know.”
I noticed Zeph hid his smile, and so as the rest.
“Um, Alpha, may I speak?” Seven raised his hand.
“Of course.” I instantly felt like Ryden was the one who held his breath right now.
“I’ve never had dinner with billionaires, sir, ma’am,” Seven politely confessed. “Forgive our manners.”
Theia chuckled. “You should join us sometimes, Seven.”
The room lit up with laughter as we dug in chocolate mousse with cherry blossom essence.
“So, Oji, Oba. Why would you want Ren to come home?”
Ren cleared his throat, shifting in his seat.
I looked at him as he was sitting next to me. “Oh, it’s a secret. Right, I’m not gonna press.”
His cheeks flushed. “You’re already doing it, Amelia, and you’re not left in the dark. I don’t think there’s anything I keep from you.”
“So do I, Ren. We’re partners.” I stole a glance at Ryden. He didn’t mind though because I knew he trusted me.
After dinner, we sat down for a tea. The conversation began with pack topics, then relationships until it ended with business. I let them talk and discuss the plans and expansion.
“I forgot to thank you for considering the offer. I’m very grateful.” I felt relieved that the Crimson Corporation was safe now. I knew their investments would be in good hands, and Ryden’s position would remain in his name.
“I’m happy you came to us first,” James replied. “We’ve decided to double the investments that you’ve initially offered us, Mr. Braxton.” Oh, wow.
I tried not to overreact but Ren saw my eyes widen.
“Just Ryden, sir.”
“Ryden, it is. I believe we could make it more profitable. If things go as planned in the next two years, we could plan the expansion to Japan, and the rest of Asia. What do you say?”
I blinked in surprise. Ren didn’t react much because business deals like this happened every day in his life.
“That’s very much generous.” Even Ryden seemed surprised with the offer. “You won’t regret it. I work hard even more to make this plan come true.”
It was Alec’s loss. He made the business personal. Even though he still remained a rich asshole, at least, we’d proven we could accomplish something without his influence.
“I deserve a massage, Alpha.”
He chuckled as he joined me in bed and began massaging my shoulders. “You deserve the best in the world, Amelia. I wanna say I don’t deserve you, but you know I’m a selfish asshole. You’re mine and mine alone.” He playfully spanked my ass.
I yelped in surprise. “Is that a part of a massage?”
One moment he was rubbing my back, his hands suddenly gone. And the next thing I felt was stinging on my ass cheek. He bit me, making me hiss.
“What the hell was that?” I looked over my shoulder, glaring at him who seemed enjoying my discomfort. Then he rubbed his palm on the spot. The warmth of the friction made my head fall to the pillow, and I began moaning. “More please?”
The next thing he did was pull down my panties, and I was bare down below. The anticipation made my skin hot, and my breathing quickened. I bit my bottom lip as he began feathery kissing my ass cheeks.
“Bend your knees, show me your ass.” His voice turned deep and raspy. It turned him on as much as I did.
I obeyed his command and folded my knees so my ass was on full display, the head remained on the pillow. I watched him position himself, his head at my rear. I felt so exposed to his mercy, but I trusted him with my body.
“Look how beautiful you are. I wish you could see yourself, how beautiful your pussy is, so pink and wet, and always ready for me.” He gritted and groaned as if trying hard to control himself.
“Fuck!” I groaned, gripping the pillow under my head as he just shoved his face to my core, licking me up from up to bottom, then from down upward. He repeated the action a few times before he spanked me again.
My heart hammered in my chest. I jolted from the roughness of his hand and the sound of his palm hitting my skin till raw. It somehow made me feel vulnerable and helpless. And I shouldn’t have liked it.
Then I got used to it. The more he spanked me, the more I enjoyed the pain, the sting, the rawness of my skin. The more I became drenched.
I moaned later on, offering my ass for him, spreading my knees wide. I suddenly remembered my dream. I pushed it quickly out of my head before it reached Ryden and opened my thoughts to him.
He welcomed me, and my senses instantly flooded with his emotions and lust. Then I felt more safer and powerful.
My moans and groans went on and on as he slid his fingers inside me, pumping in and out. I could feel the sound of my wetness. It should embarrass me, but I loved how raw it was, how powerful trust could be.
I loved how it made me feel woman while my man giving me the pleasure I sought.
“Tell me if it’s too much, Amelia.”
“Nothing is too much between us.” I rushed out my words.
I wanted to come, at the same time, I didn’t want the pleasure to end.
Ryden groaned before he licked my hole and jabbed his tongue into the tight ring.
I cried out loud until my voice was hoarse and my climax exploded.
