Chapter 509
Chapter 509
We were a couple. We trusted each other, and I kept no secrets from him. And he wouldn't keep any secrets from me, either. I was proud of that, but I had never heard him call me 'darling' even once.
Shawn looked away and tried to change the topic as he said, "Ezekiel was going back to Bryxton that year, but we stopped him. And for that, he holds grudges against us. The only thing that will make him happy is if we lose the thing we value the most. He won't attack you, but I can't say the same for May."
Puzzled, I asked, "Why wouldn't he attack me?"
He joked in response, "Because you're pretty."
"Stop teasing me."
I stopped the conversation and changed the tune into Mariage d'amour as he tossed his frisbees into the sea. Waves took them away, and he pointed at the frisbees as he ordered, "Fetch."
Eins and Zwei quickly leaped into the sea to retrieve the frisbees. They had already returned by the time I was done playing Mariage d'amour.
Shawn patted their heads and fed them some snacks. They wagged their tail, begging for more snacks. It was an adorable sight, and I couldn't help but gush over it. As I started playing the third piece, I said, "Give them some more jerkies, Sunny."
At her request, he gave them two pieces of jerky, and the dogs wolfed them down in the blink of an
eye. He tossed the frisbees into the distance again. While the dogs were fetching them, Shawn hugged me from behind and pressed some piano keys. Happily, I asked, "Do you know how to play?"
And for once, he didn't know something. "I don't. I've been living a busy life since I was a kid. Didn't have time to learn music or art."
"But you have good handwriting."
"All Xenos members can write well. It's our legacy."
Not me, though. I kissed his cheek and bit his chin playfully. He pressed down on another piano key before praising me, "You play well. You are indeed a woman of many talents."
"I love compliments. Especially compliments from you." I smiled.
He pulled me tighter into his embrace, and I snuggled closer into his arms. The dogs came back with the frisbees, but Shawn ignored them. Instead, he took me into the cabin. "You haven't rewarded them," I reminded.
"You seduced me first."
I was left speechless by his response. He might be injured, but his stamina was still great. We had been going at it many times lately, and I enjoyed every second of it. Every time I looked at his handsome features, my heart would flutter, even more so when we were making love. I couldn't help but want more.
Exhausted, I leaned on the windowsill while Shawn worked his magic on me from behind. "Tired? You can always enjoy the scenery."
I bit my lip to stifle my moans at first, but eventually, I couldn't be bothered to hold them in as the pleasure was too great. With barely any strength left, I leaned on the windowsill like a sitting duck, letting him ravage my body.
As I gazed out the window, I saw Eins and Zwei fighting over the pack of snacks. I had wanted to tell Shawn about it, but I figured interrupting him while he was in the mood wasn't a great idea, so I turned my gaze to the sea instead. Such a clear blue sea. And I get to enjoy such wonderful scenery while having a great time. It doesn't get better than this. I grunted slightly when the pounding had gotten a bit too rough. "Hey, take it easy."
The man from behind chuckled and whispered into my ear, "Someone looks like she's having fun, though."
…
After we were done, silence fell upon the room. "Do you want me to call you 'darling?'"
I nodded quickly at that. "Yeah."
Slowly, he said, "Ray."
Dammit. He's such a tease!
Shawn helped me to fix my messy clothes. Once I looked more presentable, he lay on the bed to calm
down. I lay beside him and asked, "Do men get addicted to this?"
He didn't give any response, so I kept quiet. Eins and Zwei suddenly came to the door. I called out to them, but they didn't dare to come in. They're scared of Shawn, perhaps. Thus, I got out of bed to see what they were doing. Even though the dogs had been fighting over the bag of snacks, the pack remained intact. They probably were too scared of the consequences had they torn open the pack without permission. So, I tore it open and fed them some jerkies.
Then, a voice rang out from within the cabin. "What are you doing, Ray?"
"Feeding them some snacks."
"I see."
"They won't come in, Shawn."
"Yes."
"Did you do this?"
"Yes."
He's always so aloof right after we've done it. "Are you tired, Shawn?" © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"Of course. I'm the one who does all the pounding, after all."
I decided to clamp my mouth shut after that. As I remembered what Shawn had told me earlier, I texted
May, 'Look out for Ezekiel.'
Not a moment later, her reply came. 'Why?'
'He has a grudge against Sir, and you're Sir's wife. He might go after you.'
'I see. Alright, I won't be going out alone. In fact, I didn't even go to the teahouse as of late as I have to stay by Alfred's side.'
She then added, 'He's seriously hurt.'
Compared to Sir's injuries, Shawn's had come out slightly better. 'Tell him not to get into too many fights with Rudy. You're the only one who can solve this matter.'
Melancholically, May texted back, 'I know. I'll talk to him when I have time. Don't want him to think I'm taking Rudy's side.'
Whatever her choice might be, I had no say in it. So, I put my phone away and went back into the room. Shawn had already changed into a white shirt and pants. I seldom saw him in this attire, but he looked nice and brilliant. Like a boy next door. No, wait. He's not a boy anymore. He's more of a gentleman, I suppose. I bent down and kissed his cheek. "You look good."
"And you look like you want to gobble me up."
…
"Final warning, LG. You can go after anyone, but not Renee. Do that again, and I shall kill you."
"Why do you care about her so much, Mike?"
Ezekiel didn't answer that question. Coldly, he threatened, "I saved your life, and I can take it away anytime I want."
Fearlessly, LG retorted, "I've been dead once."
"Cross me again, and you'd wish you stayed dead."
LG shuddered upon hearing that. "You'd go that far for her?"
Ezekiel answered coolly, "You've killed two of her henchmen. That is far enough. I am not joking."
"How can you take revenge if you won't kill her?"
"That is not for you to question," he answered adamantly.
With that, LG left the ward. Ezekiel then turned his gaze toward the window, looking at the clouds. He could see them forming the outline of someone he knew, and a gentle smile slowly appeared on his face. "I don't care how many enemies I make, but you will never be one of them. Trust me, Ree." He let out a sigh before adding, "After all, you are my faith."
