His Reign

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Giselle Prestons stared at the man before her. He was one scary mother effer alright. "You know too much, I cannot allow you to leave." Yeah okay whatever.

"Listen dude, seriously, I get your all into this Russian princess thing and all, I think it's great, you know the whole protecting what you stand for and so on and so forth, but I am telling you, it really means eff all to me, excuse my french. I did Scarlett a favor, I mean I would have taken Alek no matter what, to protect him but thing is, I did what I was asked to do. Your job is to look after him until she makes contact with you. I think." She said shaking her head.

Tebias stared at her. His light brown eyes boring into hers. He was sitting opposite her on the dining table, Sheryl had prepared dinner and she was just happy to eat. Alek was sitting on her lap and she fed him and herself.

"I need to speak to Mason first. You could be a threat." He said.

"To who? Oh my god, are you serious? Look at me already? Does it look like I'm a threat, honey I couldn't take on a fly... Seriously once I killed a fly and I cried. Okay not a fly but once I did run over a rat and I cried. Okay I didn't cry but I was so grossed out."

Sheryl laughed. Damn it Giselle, every time she was nervous she over spoke. Not a good thing at all. "Sheryl honey, don't encourage her." Tebias said making her frown at him.

"So what is the deal?" She was actually a little afraid. Everything Scarlett told her about her far fetched story was true. She did not want to be caught up in any of it. "I mean can you fix my car? It is totally gone and I kinda need to get back home, my parents would assume that I ditched university again and thus stop my allowance. So please, I really do need to get in contact with them. Oh and I also need a charger for my phone. Do you have a charger for an Iphone 6?" She asked as she fed Alek some mash potato.

"I'm sorry Giselle, I cannot allow you to go just yet. I don't want to involve you, let me speak to Mason, see what he has to say. I will take Alek from here." She nodded.

"You know Scarlett told me about Mason and that other one Boris, she never mentioned you. Not until that phone call. Lucky I got your name right. I mean can you imagine if I found another Tebias Archillies... Not that anybody else on this planet would have the name Tebias... Strange name." She said smiling awkwardly. Shut the hell up Giselle. What was the matter with her?

"Okay then, if you will just cooperate with me until I figure out what path to take with you... I will go see Mason tomorrow..."

"Oh can I come with? I kinda want to see what he looks like?" She then took a moment to think. She had already been here for a week, she had been on the run for a week. No mention of Scarlett, shit, what if she really was in trouble?

"Um Tebias... What will happen if they got Scarlett?" She needed to know. Tebias drew in a breath.

"Not my fight. Mason will deal with it." Okay well then, was he not Mason's brother?

"Oh, I thought you guys were on the same page? I mean brothers and all... Don't you want to protect your prin..."

"My brother's wife? Yes I do. Enough talk about that for now." He said as if not wanting her to mention the whole princess thing in front of Sheryl. Fair enough she was smart enough to know when to shut up about it.

"Yeah that." She asked giving him a questioning look. He looked at Alek and shook his head.

"Poor kid." He spoke almost to himself.

Giselle found herself drooling over Tebias. Yes she knew he was with Sheryl, who was sweet as pie and very pretty too. But well he looked like a friggin god. All hot and stuff. He looked so strong too, but it was like he did not want to show it. He liked to appear all normal and stuff. Hell normal was boring. Giselle was certain there was more to his story. Boy that goatee he wore made her think how sexy he really was. Imagine him without a shirt... Oh stop Giselle, he was a taken man. You so do not do taken men. Never ever again do a taken man.
