Sweet Affection [Affection Series 4] {Completed}

Chapter 04

Connor taps his fingers on his knees as he waits for his mate and son. He checks his watch before he looks at the stairs once again for them to hurry up.

He takes a breath of relief when they finally walks out and with a smile reserved for only his family Connor holds out his hand for his mate to take it.

Crystal smiles back as she holds her mate's hand and giggles as he pulls her closer to him landing a soft kiss on the corner of her lips.

"Dad" Chris grits out through his teeth as he looks away from the display of affection between his parents

Not that he minds it but he can easily read the projections they both are sending to each other, which was making his very uncomfortable.

"Sorry" Connor apologizes forgetting his son was in the room for the moment

"I am so happy that you finally said yes to join us. I assure you, you will love being in there and meeting everyone" Crystal beams as she looks her son's way

"Let me be the judge of it" Chris answers shuffling on his feet nervously

"If you don't feel comfortable all you have to do is say so and we will leave the party" Connor assures his son, as he can clearly see his son's nervousness.

"Let's be done with it already," he states walking out of the room

Connor sighs before taking his mate's hand in his and walking behind their son so they can drive off to the party.

Chris fidgets trying to close off his senses so he does not feel or hear anyone in the party but not being used to having so many people around him makes it hard for him.

He sighs in relief when he feels his father's warmth surrounding him blocking off the people's thoughts and chatters around him.

"Relax; try not to think only about it. It will be easier if you pretend it's not there" Connor advices his son who nods grimly.

"Connie" Dante exclaims as he walks towards them with a big smile

"Dante" he nods stiffly towards him

"What a surprise, I cannot believe you are here. It's good to see you" Dante smiles as he hugs Crystal and shakes Connor's hands

"Oh little Connor is here as well, and you aren't so little anymore. So, good to see that finally the prince graces us with his appearance" he grins going to touch the boy but Connor stands between them and silently warning him off

"Relax; jeez if I didn't know better I would think you were protecting your virgin daughter instead of a virile son" Dante comments as he smiles at the boy

"Just stay away from him," Connor verbally warns making Dante sighs dramatically

"Next time, come alone" he whispers to Crystal seeing Connor's behavior before he leaves them

"What is wrong with you?" Crystal asks stunned at her mate's behavior

"I don't trust him," he grumbles stepping away from his son

"He is our friend Connor, so relax he won't harm Chris" she defends Dante making Connor glare her way

"He is a leader of the council as well and I have learned to never trust them," he points out to her making Crystal give in, as she knows there is no use in talking with him when he is in such a mood.

"Do I look sexy enough?" Jane asks as she steps out of the car along with Ariel and Jasmine
