Chapter 343 - Behind The Scenes - III
The meeting had continued for another or two, at least before the beta and gamma Lycan walked out of the room.
Adelen stretched lightly in the seat that he was sitting in. Her butt hurt, her back hurt and her ears hurt along with her eyes.
The numbers with the finances of different packs that the king and his council kept an eye over to make sure that the money flowed generously and there was no Alpha cheating.
To help them in giving the loans by making it sure that the money was not laundered or spent unexplainably.
How did her father deal with numbers and be happy about it?
They have talked about so many that Adaline wondered if there were only 10 numbers in total. Or were there nine? How many numbers were there?
"What with you?" He picked her up and placed her on the table before settling on the chair himself. "You look tired."
She nodded, "I am."
"Why?" He chuckled, "it was just one meeting and a small one."
A small one? "It was about 2 hours at least!"
Xavier tsked. "Honestly it was about 4 hours and you attended 3 of it and that is what my daily looks like on a usually basis." He cracked his neck from side to side, "just behind the scenes."
Which was surprisingly something Adaline was proud about. "I can't believe I sat still for so long." She ghused in front of him, with childlike excitement in her eyes. "Can you believe it? My butt hurts too!"
Xavier was maintaining a firm expression before his smile revealed itself at her last revelation.
"Does it?" He repeated before his hands covered the distance from her knees to her soft kneady flesh, "I can massage them for you if you want."
Her eyes narrowed, "how awfully nice of you." Xavier shrugged, his hands starting to massage them softly, "what can I say. I am a selfless person."
She scoffed at that before laughing viciously. "Selfless? Even your ass if selfish!"
"Is it?" He stood up and towered her completely, "do you know how many ladies have stared at it? I might as well be doing them a favour.. selfless acts."
She giggled slightly before it was swallowed by his lips.
It started slowly, just as their love had before he picked up the pace and the passion of flooded in. She kissed him back equal fever, wanting a taste of him for as long as she could.
One of her hands were made on history while the other one explode the thick, dark hair on his head.
His lips moved away from her while placing cases on her job before he sucked on the now completely healed mark standing her to another world of euphoria.
"Oh," Adeline gasped, the pleasure shooting Straight to her nether regions. Her legs shivered and the toes curled.
All because his sucked on the mark almost made her visit heaven.
Adeline sighed blissfully.
It was all too familiar for her, but now saying that it was a thing of the past. How many times had she been in the same position with him on top of her? How many times has she imagined it is in her dreams since she had been living in her uncle's house?
It was all coming true— "oh," she hissed when he his teeth graced the mark, sending jolts down her spine.
"Hey!" The rapt knocking made Adeline jump.
The haze of lust left her eyes and the vision clear itself before she patted Xavier's shoulder.
A low, dangerous growl left his throat asking Adeline stiffen, "Who is it?
"It's Ashlynn!" The knocking stopped. "Your assistant is standing here. You need to get on with the day on cancel everything!"
Adeline shivered slightly, but hearing what Ashlynn has to say mumbled, "What?"
"Yes!" Ashlynn replied even though she was standing behind the door. Adaline could imagine her keeping an ear against it. "The assistant is not going to take a risk on his life by interrupting you two! But he needs to give an answer!"
That's when she realised it.
She had bulldozed on his plans of the entire day especially when she had not informed him before hand.
"Hey," she patted his shoulder awkwardly, "you should let go."
"Why?" He growled and she gulped before taking in a deep breath and grabbing a hold of the situation.
"I am going to be with Ashlynn the entire day, so you don't need to worry about it." Adeline told him before kissing his cheek in affection. "Find me at the end of your day?"
Which was something he could easily do. It would be on sniff for him and he could easily tell in which part of the castle she was in.
"Fine," He nodded pulling away as The Mask of the king slipped in. "I apologize for not being able to attend to you."
She clicked her tongue. "My fault actually, I should have informed you before coming." Even though she had no intention of meeting him.
Just as the assistant arrived in the tense atmosphere surrounding the king, Adaline left the room meeting Ashlynn on her way out.
"Hey, you," Ashlynn bumped shoulder with adaline as they walked down the hallway. "Are you hungry?"
Adeline, on the other hand did not beat around the bush. Being with one of her friends that had been with her almost as long as she had been with Xavier, gave her some kind of leverage and opportunity.
"Do you know where Alexandeir was?"
Ashlynn's head snapped to hers. "What?" She whispered in words that were soaked truly in shock. "Why?"
Adeline gulped, before admitting, "I might have seen over witch that escaped the palace."
"The witch with the purple eyes?"
Adaline nodded.
"Shit," Ashlynn mumbled, looking down. "That's bad."
"Why?" The word slipped out of her mouth before Adaline realised how long it sounded. Of course that was bad.
But somehow Adaline good feel that it was worse than bad coming haway.
"No," she shook her head before turning to Adeline with a face full of dread, "because Alexandier just left.. I saw him."
