The Foreigner

Chapter Thirty-Two

Sage Taylor

I huffed as stepped out of the lake, I looked at Evangeline and smiled. This was going to be our last day of training. Our marking ceremony was in two days and I was anxious.

"Make sure you're there." I said.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world." She said wrapping a towel around her body.

I smiled.

"Good." I said as we began to walk back to the house.

"You are becoming stronger, with your abilities and your training...you'll be unstoppable." She said.

"Thank you, I learn from the best." I said.

She smiled and shook her head.

"Gosh, you're about to be a wife." Evangeline said.

I laughed and shook my head.

"Yeah, I guess you can say that." I smiled.

"Do you love him?" She asked.

"I do." I nodded.

"Good, how are you since the Sapphire thing?" She asked.

"I'm...ok. It's been a few days but In-Yeop has been...acting weird. I don't know if it's because the marking is coming up." I shrugged.

"Maybe he has a lot on his mind, just talk to him about it." She said.

I nodded as we continued walking to the house. We parted ways before I showered and changed into something comfortable.

"Hey." In-Yeop smiled.

I smiled and closed the door before tossing my damp towel into the hamper.

"Hey." I said.

He opened his arms and smiled before I embraced him. He rubbed my back and squeezed me tighter.

"You ok?" I asked.

He looked at me before pecking my lips.

"Yeah, I actually have something to talk to you about but I'm waiting for Dong-Min and Daniel to get here first." He said.

I sat in his lap before looking at him.

"Ok, you're willingly inviting Dong-Min, that's new." I chuckled.

"Well he is alone, figured he could use the company." He shrugged.

"Is my Pookie Yookie bear becoming a nice guy?" I teased.

"Come on Luna you know I hate that." He groaned as I poked his face.

I smiled and stood up before he pulled me back down, he laid back and pulled me with him.

"Are you ready for the marking?" He asked.

His hands rubbed my butt in a circular motion.
