His Stolen Heart

Chapter 16

"Good morning!" Corey's gruff voice rained directly into her ear as a groan escaped her lips. His hair painted her face as he moved in to kiss her forehead. "I should get going," his fingers brushed his hair away from her face as she faced the other way, covering herself with the sheets.

"A few more minutes," she mumbled, covering her head with the sheets.

A chuckle left his lips as he mounted her before whispering into her ear, "we could have one more round,"

"No," she rolled to the side, exhausted from the night they shared. "I, we should probably get back. James has the triplets remember." A subtle smile brushed his lips and he tackled her to the bed, naked, they both started laughing as he nuzzled her neck. "I'll miss you." She said.

"I'll miss you too," he got out of bed, picking his jacket from the floor as she stepped out of bed with the sheets wrapped around her body she picked up her clothes from the floor. "From what I've noticed about this land you will have to be very careful. There is a good percentage of vampires here so be extremely vigilant, and try to avoid late nights outside your apartment as much as possible." She nodded in response as they were currently occupying a hotel room.

After touring through the land the day before so Corey could get a bird's eye view of the land and survey it for potential enemies, the developing land had more on the arisen that she'd like to explore than she'd thought. She was even more surprised by the fact that he knew nothing about the land despite being as well-traveled as Dam was.

"Did you by any chance speak to Dam?" He stretched over the bed, picking up his hairband before meeting her gaze.

"Yes I did, why?"

"He just seemed a lot calmer when I went to get my travel permit from him."

"I wouldn't want to come between the both of you, but I had no choice but to step in, and make things clear with him." He adjusted the sheets, watching her from the side of his eye as she moved her weight from one leg to the next.

"Thanks, what did you say to him?"

"That's between me and him." She pouted. "Let's take a bath before room services get here," she chuckled as his fingers brushed her cheeks, letting him carry her bridal style towards the bathroom, where her sense of smell was bombarded by the scent coming from the porcelain bathtub filled with water and soap. A bowl of chocolate-coated strawberries and a 5L carton of juice as well as two glasses sat on a short four-wheeled steel table.

He placed her on the floor right next to the bathtub, lifting her chin, he rubbed the side of his head around hers. "Let me shrub you clean while making you mine." A squeal escaped her mouth when he pulled the sheet away from her. Extending his hand she soaked in the wildness within his irises, his eyes roamed her body like his beast was still hungry for her. She placed her hand into his before climbing into the tub..."You wanted a date? Why don't you let me date you?" She chuckled.

"Okay Mr, what about your flight back?"

"I moved it till tomorrow and I'm sure Dam will be fine without me for the next 24 hours." He got into the tub, along with her.

"He's going to be extremely mad, you realize that right? And what about James? I don't want to be a burden to him, I'm sure he's more than excited to start searching for his mate."

Corey sighed at his mate, "we arranged something, and I assure you that you have nothing to worry about my love. And as for Dam, I'm with my mate I deserve a few days off." He placed the chocolate-coated strawberry into her mouth before shifting to the other side of the bathtub and she pushed toward him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "What are you doing?" She lets his hair lose, smiling at the beauty of him before flinging the band on the floor.
