Isabella’s P.O.V.Mason had an expression like that of a child on Christmas morning, why you ask me? Because he was going to accompany me on my little interrogation. I don’t know how people find him ruthless or dangerous; he is a kid in grown-up man’s body. The excitement that was bubbling inside of him is clearly visible which is making me nauseous with every step that’s taken towards the cell; the situation has made me all worried, not about the culprit but about Mason. I know that no matter how many times I say that I am not going to lose it, I can assure you for once and for all, that I will be the one losing my control once I’m inside the cell and what might happen next could either bring me and Mason closer or drift us apart.
I can feel his hold on me tighten as we both stop in front of a large metal door. I turn to look at him and notice that he already has his eyes fixated on me. I give him an honest smile to encourage him to go further with a small nod as I ensure him about my decision. He tenses up a bit, huffing out a little too loudly, he engulfs me in a hug as he whispers, “Are you sure you want to do this love?”
His endearment makes me feel like a thousand butterflies are flapping their wings inside my stomach, I don’t even feel the blush rising on my cheeks as I give him a small curt nod as I reply, “Yes Macey, stop worrying about me because this is the reason why I was brought in this world.” He sighs as my words reach his ears and his hold tightens around my waist as he continues with, “No matter what happens in there, don’t even for a second think that your actions are going to make me feel anything different for you than what I already feel.” I can’t help myself as I pull away a little, standing on my tip toes; I smash my lips to his, kissing him with so much adoration and love that I know words won’t be able to describe it. The kiss turns feverish as he grabs my face within his palms and caresses my cheek with his thumb, all the while continuing to kiss me hungrily. I feel his palm leave my face as they move down and settle on my ass, pinching me once. The pinch isn’t too hard for it to be painful yet hard enough for me to gasp and that is the exact time when he plunges his tongue inside my mouth exploring every corner with it. It doesn’t end there, his hands slides further down towards my thighs as he grabs them and throws me up in the air, his action takes me by surprise and instead of pushing him away, I wrap my legs around his waist to gain some support. He doesn’t stop his assault on my lips even for a second, and to top it off; I feel him smirk into the kiss when I wrap my legs around him.
Such a nasty enormous Beast!
I can feel his member up against my core, the kiss causes to create friction in between our sexes which makes me moan out loud and that’s when I hear him groan as he turns me around and slams me into the wall, my back meeting the cold wall of the hallway. The moment my back touches the wall, his movement turn quick as I feel him squeeze my ass in his palm all the while rubbing his member to my core. My hands grab hold of his hair as I entangle my fingers in them to gain some support; his actions are turning me into a melting mess in his hands as moan after moan escape my mouth in a guttered manner due to his lips attached being attached to mine. Somewhere in between this dry-humping/make-out session, I hear someone’s phone ringing and from the ringtone, I soon realize its mine.
Pushing him away with all the strength that I have, I look at his face, he has his eyes closed as he leans his head on mine; with a labored breath he slowly opens his eyes. The moment his hooded eyes meet mine, I realize that no matter what I say or how much I avoid it, I can’t just ignore or deny the fact that I’ve fallen for this handsome piece of a mate that the Moon Goddess blessed me with and from the way his eyes sparkle when they meet mine as well as how his breathing changes or his heart races at an undesirable speed like he just ran a marathon, I can say that he feels the same for me. I smile at him as I caress his cheeks placing a quick peck on his lips; I mumble, “Can we postpone this, for after we are done with the interrogations please?”
His eyes which were dull due to the sudden stop and disturbance, light up like the fireworks light up the sky when he hears my words, a small smile starts to form on his lips as he looks at me like I’m the most beautiful thing he has seen in this whole world, like I’m his WORLD; his actions make my heart flutter as he settles me down back on my feet and kisses my forehead, before saying, “As you say love.”
I’m about to say something when my phone rings again, grabbing my attention from Mason; I give him a sorry look for the disturbance caused by the call, he chuckles at my expression as he says, “Take it baby, it might be something important.” I nod as I remove my phone from my pocket and see the caller ID flashing Ryan’s name on it, shaking my head at my oh-so-concerned brother, I pick it up and am blessed with, “Where the hell are you Bella?”
I try to speak but am cut off as another question follows up, “How can you be so irresponsible? Didn’t you think that we might get worried for you? The triplets have been asking about you, Lucas was crying from so long, he just fell asleep; all because his mommy couldn’t find it in her to inform us about her plans. How could you do this Bella?” I’m a little taken aback at his outburst and find it hard to reply, as tears start forming in my eyes, worry clearly etched to my face thinking about my brother crying because of my irresponsible behavior. I hear Ryan asking something again but fail at it miserably as I stand there like a statue with my phone touched to my ear with no right explanation for it. I feel someone pull my phone from my hand and move my attention to see Mason talking on the phone, “Ryan” he says.
I don’t know what Ryan replies with, since Mason’s expression don’t give out anything; he nods for a while and then replies with, “I had a situation at my pack.” He pauses, nods and continues, “Acid Attack” following with a few hmms, he says, “needed her help at it, the girl was in too much pain and none of us could do anything, neither the doctors nor the healers. Hmmm, yeah, she was the only one who could help.” He looks at me, my facial expression makes him a little worried as he wraps an arm around my waist and pulls me to him, hugging me with one arm as tightly as he could while his other hand held the phone. I feel him tense a little at something that Ryan said, which makes me move and look at him for some confirmation, he senses my discomfort and worry towards their conversation and replies out loud, “I’ll see to it that the news doesn’t spread. Don’t worry about it.” Giving me a genuine smile, he continues, “Yeah. She won’t be coming back home tonight. It might get a little late dealing with this stuff and I think it will be better if she stays here after all that hard work, so do you think you might be able to take care of her siblings for us?”
“What?” I shout before even thinking about it and I hear him chuckle as a blush starts forming on my cheeks; Mason ignores my question as replies with a smug look, “And why would you think that I’m going to listen to you?”
What are they talking about?
Maybe Ryan wants me home because he isn’t free tonight; I should really go home then, how much of a bother am I being to my friends from the past few days; of course, they are annoyed by me now. I’m busy in my self pity as I say, “I don’t think I should wait Mason, I don’t want trouble Ryan for my siblings, after all they are my responsibility”
Mason smirks as he ignores me again and tells him, “Did you here that?” he pauses before he says, “Okay” and the next thing he does is put the phone on speaker. He gives me a smile and speaks, “You’re up on speaker man.”
“Calm down dickhead, no need to get all hyped up” is the first thing that I hear Ryan say, Mason chuckles at his comment and pulls me towards him as Ryan continues, “Bella, remember this, because I’m only going to say this once. When I say that you are my sister, I mean every word of it. So never again in your life think that you’re ever going to be a bother to me. We are family and what family does is stands beside each other through thick and thin. So, stop worrying as I got this, I’ll take care of OUR siblings; just do your work and relax, have a good night sleep and I’ll see you at college tomorrow. Is that okay princess?”
By the end of his emotional rant, I’m speechless; the way he addressed my siblings as OUR did not go unnoticed by me and so didn’t him ending his speech with the word princess; this is one of the reasons why I love him so much, he knows when to say what and how to make me feel good about my decisions, he supports me through it all, the good as well as the bad times, I couldn’t have asked for a better brother than him because he is indeed the best brother ever. The tears pour down by my face go undetected by me, until I feel fingers on my cheeks wiping them away. Mason pecks my head once as he answers to Ryan’s question, “Okay, we get it big brother; now stop it, you made my baby cry.”
“Bella don’t cry and never forget that I love you more than this douchebag could ever do. Want to know why?” he asks again. I chirp a small, “Why?” and I hear him chuckle at my question at the same time as I hear Mason huff and grumble something under his breath. Ryan says, “Because you are my SISTER and no matter how amazing a mate bond is, the bond between a Brother and Sister is much stronger and deeper than any of the other worldly connections.”
“Thank you Ry and I love you too brother” is my sweet and silent reply, this is followed by silence for a couple of seconds; an awkward one at that after which Ryan clears his throat as he speaks again and this time to Mason, “As for you dickhead, keep it in your pants and I mean it, like literally. Do not try any funny business with my sister just because I allowed her to stay at your place. Do you understand asshole?”
Mason being the prick that he is, replies with a very smug, “What makes you think that we haven’t already done it?” A loud gasp is heard followed by Ryan’s shouting, “You did not!” Mason winks at me as he says, “I never said, I’m the one who initiated it.”
“What do you mean by you didn’t initiat…” he stops mid-sentence as Mason’s words click in his brain and he shouts, “BELLA!”
I don’t even spare a second before I justify by saying, “He is just kidding Ry, nothing happened.”
“YET!” is Mason’s contribution to my sentence, I throw a glare at him as I hastily say, “We got work to do Ry, how about I call you once I’m done with it. Okay. Bye” I don’t even wait for his reply as I disconnect the call and stare at Mason who has a victory smile on his face, I look at him once over and a thought pops up in my mind. I smile at him as I say, “Don’t you look so happy? Well, how about I double the happiness?” He has a smug expression on his face as he grabs me by my waist again and asks huskily, “What do you have in mind love?”
“For starters, you are going to sleep on the couch” hearing this his smile drops instantly as I continue, “and for the last part, enough of this mushy behavior, lets get some work done for fuck sake.”
