Chapter 50 Chapter Fifty
I put my hands on her shoulders, running my hands down the length of her arms, until my hand is wrapped around hers. "We better finish the vegetables baby, before you make me do something I will regret."
Leilani laughs and I kiss her cheek. We finish chopping the vegetables together, kissing and flirting the whole time. Once the salad is ready we sit down to eat.
"Dinner looks amazing baby girl." I say when we get our plates fixed.
"Thank you for cooking with me Malakai." She whispers, her cheeks turn a little pink and I lean over to kiss her.
"You don't have to thank me baby. I will always do anything you want, you just have to tell me what's on your mind."
Leilani gives me a mischievous smile and her cheeks turn a bright red. "Anything I want?" She whispers.
"Someone's got their mind in the bedroom."
Leilani giggles. "It doesn't have to be in the bedroom. I mean it could really happen anywhere, even right here."
I chuckle, I like the way she thinks, but she will have to be patient. I want our first time to be special, not in the damn kitchen. "Don't worry baby girl. It will happen, you just need to be patient. That's not something you want to rush."
She pouts. "You promise it will happen?"
I shake my head laughing. "Well of course it will happen baby. Trust me I want you so damn bad it's almost unbearable."
"It is already unbearable for me." She whines, pouting.
I force myself to frown, even though my mouth is trying to curl into a smile. She is just so damn cute, especially when she is looking at me like that. "I'm sorry baby girl." I reach over and rub her cheek with my thumb.
Leilani leans into my touch and I smile. "I love you baby girl. I promise waiting will be worth all the torture." I wink.
"I know you are kidding but it really is torture."
I laugh and take a bite of food. She doesn't even know how much restraint it takes around her. I watch Leilani as she eats, smiling everytime she moans softly. Once we are finished eating we clean up the kitchen for Nova. It's only fair since we are the ones who made the mess.
"Come on baby girl, let's go get comfy and watch a movie in bed or something."
Leilani nods her head, yawning a little. "That sounds good to me."
I take her hand in mine and lead her upstairs to her room. Leilani strips down the second we get in her room, throwing her clothes to the side on the floor. She sticks her hand out towards me and I smile, knowing exactly what she wants.
I pull my shirt over my head, smiling when I catch her staring at my chest and abs. "You like what you see baby?"
She bites her bottom lip. "Yes, yes I really do."
"I love what I see baby girl." I wink at her and she looks down blushing hard. She has gotten so used to changing in front of me she doesn't even notice until I point it out.
I hand her my T-shirt and she pulls it over her head. Damn she looks so good in my shirts. Leilani pulls the cover back and climbs in the bed. She smiles and pats the bed next to her. I take my pants off, leaving me in just my boxers.
Leilani checks me out, looking me up and down. I get in the bed with her and she slides over next to me. I wrap my arms around her as she snuggles into my chest.
"Are we training more tomorrow?" She asks, looking up at me.
"Yeah baby. We need to focus on training your gifts. You need to be able to control them before you take over as the alpha of the pack baby girl."
She nods her head slowly, biting her lip nervously. "What if I never learn how to control them?"
"You will baby. You already learned anger and pain can be triggers. That's a great start."
"I wish my mom was alive so she could help me with this." She whispers.
I sigh. "I know baby. I wish I was more help." I really do wish I was. I don't know what to do to help.
Her eyes go wide. "You have been very helpful Malakai. I couldn't do this without you."
I couldn't have gotten any luckier. She is so damn sweet. "I can't imagine life without you baby girl."
She smiles at me and I kiss her. It doesn't take long for her to fall asleep. Me on the other hand, I can't sleep. I spend the night staring at her and trying to think of ways I can help her.
Maybe tomorrow I can go through the pack archives. I also need to meet with the elders and pack council to get ready for Leilani to take over.
Everyone is going to have to get used to her being Alpha. I will not tolerate anyone mistreating her or being disobedient. Every member of this pack will treat her with the same respect as they give Alpha Tiberius and myself.
Morning comes to soon and I didn't get a bit of sleep. Leilani groans stretching a little. I kiss the top of her head and whisper. "Good morning baby girl."
She smiles. "Good morning Malakai."
"How did you sleep baby?"
"I slept good." She whispers. "How did you sleep?"
"I didn't sleep any baby, but I'm okay. I was thinking of everything I need to get done today. I am hoping I can find something to help you and I need to meet with the elders and pack council today."
"The council?" She asks wide eyed.
"Yeah baby, it's okay. You don't have to worry. It's just a meeting. Every time a new alpha is getting ready to take over the pack we have to prepare the ceremony. It's a big deal baby."
