Dangerous Desires

Chapter 18

18 Loyalty and Strength

Luke.

I didn’t find the new development welcoming. Tia and I had just gotten together, and suddenly I had to take over the company, which meant that I would not have time with my wife. Why now? The only good thing about the breakfast was Tia’s public show of possession. She was blunt about it, thinking in the same direction as me. Stacy would do anything to get her hands on Moon money. Knowing it was all mine, antagonising me would be counterproductive, so she decided to be friendly and tried to plant a mole in my office. I could not believe my father could not see through her schemes. I knew his love was blind, but I did not expect it to be stupid. This woman shouldn’t have even returned now, but she did. Moving out with Tia was a definite decision. I could not continue staying in that place with my wife. Tia and I can have a blissful marriage away from the Moons, and I was aiming for that. I intended to claim her soon, but I wanted her to want it so it would not be as if I was trying to trap her.

I caressed Tia’s inner thigh through breakfast. I could smell Tia’s arousal, and I knew Caleb could too. I wanted him to know she was mine, and there was no room for him. He got the message. His teary eyes got the message. It was cute watching Tia trying to control herself at the table. My hand never left her inner thigh. Close enough to her pussy but never touching it. I saw the beads of sweat on her forehead. It wasn’t much, but it shouldn’t be there.

“I get the message you can stop tormenting her,” Caleb linked me. “Who said I was tormenting her, Little brother. I am getting my wife ready,” I linked him back, knowing he wanted to leave the table. I wanted him to understand where Tia and I were

so that he would know best to keep off when they resumed their training sessions.

We discussed other minor things at the table. Kimberly was quiet, and I could see the neglect in her eyes. The girl was crazy about Caleb, but Caleb was Caleb, a douchebag that always wanted what was

mine.

The Monica girl was a pain. She tried to strike a conversation with me at every given opportunity, and the fact that I did not respond was not a deterrent to her. She was a very determined girl, and her determination did not sit well with me. Stacy was planting this girl for a reason, and I wanted to know why before she actually succeeds and hurts me beyond imagination. I had a lot to lose now. Tia was at the top of my list.

We rushed back to the left wing, and we were barely in the living room when Tia pounced on me. There was a savage need in her eyes. I laid her on the floor and ripped her lace panties. It was soaked, and it was all for me. Tugging up her short dress to expose her beautiful lips and bending to kiss them, she moaned. I sucked her clit gently and placed two fingers in her, but she wanted more. The way she milked my fingers indicated they weren’t enough. She came from my ministration. I undressed in a hurry and buried myself in her. I pumped really fast. Her clenching walls made holding my cum difficult, but I did. I wanted her to come again before I poured myself into her. “Luke, please,” she breathed, and I increased the speed.

“Harder,” she said, and I realised the extent of my actions at breakfast. I had stimulated her beyond control, and I liked it.

I slammed into her, harder and faster. Her pussy was so sweet that I lost myself in it. I felt my wolf emerging, aiming for a claim, wanting to claim her badly. I held my wolf down and

continued to pump until she came. She came violently, and I followed, pouring myself into her sweetly.

“Don’t do that to me again.” She warned breathlessly, and I began to laugh and pulled out of her. I had ruined her dress and messed her hair up on the floor. We could not even get to the couch, and the living room door was opened. Had the staff seen us? I got up and shut the door.

“Guess I wouldn’t be wearing this anymore,” she said, lifting her torn clothes and panties off the floor.

“If we continue like this, I might burn through the closet quickly,” she teased, and I laughed. My phone dinged while she headed to the bathroom, and I reached for it.

To my surprise, it was Elisabeth. My heart crashed, and fear washed over me. I was still yet to process what she had told me. Unlike Caleb, I knew it was mine, and unlike my brother, I wasn’t in support of abortions, but just like Caleb, I wasn’t going to let my wife go. I didn’t want to. Deep down, I was afraid Tia would hate me for this. Even if she does not leave me, the bliss we just started will end. She will hang around, but it will be out of fear of being cast out. I did not know what to do. I did not understand why Caleb always freaked out until it happened to me. I could not blame Elisabeth entirely for successfully hoodwinking me into getting pregnant. I should have said no and insisted on using protection. It wasn’t like she raped me or drugged me. It was consensual, and this had happened. How was I going to deal with this matter? Tia was too young to deal with this mess.

My phone dinged again, and I looked towards the bathroom. I knew I would have to come clean to Tia. It was best she heard it from me than elsewhere. I decided I would tell her when she exited the bathroom.

I opened the message, and what I read shocked me and made me angry. If it weren’t because I was married, I would have handled this very coldly.

“Luke, if you do not meet me at the Rain’s Cafe by one in the afternoon, I will tell your wife everything.” she threatened, and I knew she had Tia’s number; I also knew she wasn’t bluffing, so I answered that I will be on my way. I looked at my wristwatch, and I had only thirty minutes to get there, so I linked my wife.

“Tia, I need to meet with someone at Rain’s Cafe. I will be back in a bit,” I said, and she said it was okay.

I wore shorts and a T-shirt. I had not showered, so I knew I smelled like someone that had just made love to his wife. There was nothing I could do about the scent, and I did not want to do

anything about it. So I dressed up and headed to the Cafe.

I sped to make sure I got there on time. I parked in the VIP parking space and hurried in. Elisabeth had gained some weight, and she was sitting at a booth close to the glass window.

She stood up, exited the booth, and smiled at me. I approached her, and she hugged me without warning, crashing her lips against mine. I pulled away from her. It was inappropriate behaviour.

“I can’t believe you, Luke,” she said with tear-filled eyes, shook her head and went to sit in the booth. I joined her but sat opposite her. I could not understand her tears. We had broken up, and I had urged her to move on. I made no promises to her, so I did not understand her.

“Did you even love me?” She asked.

“I am not here to discuss our past relationship, Lisa. Why did you not tell me you were pregnant. Why did you have to wait until now?” I asked her, and she wiped away her tears. “So your father won’t help you abort it,” she said, and my eyes faltered. She knew all about Caleb because I had told her about it. I remained silent, trying to choose my words carefully.

“I should be your wife, Luke. Me and not her,” she said, and I frowned at her.

“Not really, Lisa. I asked you to marry me, and you refused. I knew it was because you knew I wouldn’t be alpha. You insisted on an open relationship…” I said, and she cut me short.

“You knew I wasn’t seeing anyone, Luke,” she said, and I nodded.

“Except for that one time,” I reminded her, and she bowed her head in shame

“I was drunk, and I had been sorry about it. I told you I did not mind being your mistress, but you obviously do not need my services. Your brother’s whore seems to be doing a good job,” She said, and I knew she intended it as an insult. Everyone had thought Caleb had screwed Tia. I knew better now, so it did not get to me. I just smiled at her, and I knew it frustrated her

“I thought you said you were safe, Elisabeth,” I asked her, and she shook her head and leaned close to me from across the table.

“Well, I lied, Luke. I wouldn’t give you up without a fight, and I knew you felt nothing for the girl. I just thought maybe if this happens, your father would have you annul the marriage. I heard you two sleep in separate beds. It should not be hard, Luke.” She said, and I leaned back. “I love her, Lisa. I have for a while now,” I confessed to her, and tears streamed down her face. “How can you fall in love with your brother’s girl, Luke?” She asked, and I shook my head.

“She was never his. Those were rumours. Yes, Tia had a crush on Caleb, but she was never his, “I said, and realisation dawned on her.

“So what happens to me then, Luke? I am fucking pregnant. I am carrying your baby, Luke. What happens to me?” She asked, and I did not know what to say. I could not ask her to abort because that would be inhumane, and if it was my child, I would love to keep it.

“Give me time, Elisabeth. Please,” I said, and she shook her head.

“If you do not resolve this matter and do the right thing. I will tell your darling wife about this, “she threatened, and I swallowed but kept calm.

“This happened before I married, Tia. It was the breakup sex you initiated that caused this, Elisabeth. If you want to tell Tia, go ahead. It still won’t change anything. You still have to wait for me to decide what I want to do but having you in my life is out of the question. I will discuss this with Tia just so she knows the mess I am in, and then I will get back to you.” I said and stood up. Paid the bill and tipped whoever had attended to her, and left.

I got home and saw Tia had puffy eyes. I wondered why she would be crying. I was afraid that maybe Elisabeth had told her. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Tia, are you alright,” I said and tried to touch her shoulder, but she shrugged it off and handed me her phone. My heart was in my mouth. I unlocked the screen and what I saw broke my heart. It was a video of me meeting up with Elisabeth at the Cafe. She had hugged and kissed me so quickly, and now I knew why. She had someone take photos and send them to

Tia, and Tia must have thought that I had been lying to her and I had gone back to Elisabeth. “Tia, please let me explain,” I said, and she wiped away her tears.

“You promised Luke. You promised me that morning in the tent,” she said in tears, and I felt my heartbreak because I knew exactly how she was feeling. I would have done worse if it were the other way around.

“I guess you never meant a word of what you said to me, Luke,” she said, and I went to hug her. To my surprise, she let me. I knew she was fighting herself, but she let me. I breathed her

in.

“I will tell you the truth, Tia. I was coming home to tell you the truth. It isn’t what it seems like. I am not seeing her.” I said, breathed her in and held her. “She called this morning and told me something that took me off the rails. I have been trying to find a way to tell you what is happening, but I couldn’t. We just started getting along. I did not want a setback, so I had to ponder it and find the best way to deal with it.” I said, and she wrapped her arms around my waist. I was surprised. That one action calmed me down and urged me to speak. “Tell me what it is, Luke, and I want the truth. I want you to tell me the truth,” She said and pulled away from me. I tried to compose myself and look at her. “I broke up with Elisabeth a week before the wedding. We had breakup sex that day, and she promised me she was safe. Now she claims she is three months pregnant, and it is mine.” I said quickly, and she was stunned. She was so shocked that she started laughing. As she laughed, tears fell, and I knew she was in shock.

“Tia, please, calm down,” I pleaded with her.

She left me and went to the bathroom. She locked the door, and I became scared. I knocked on the door, and she did not respond; instead, I heard her crying. I waited for thirty minutes hoping for a miracle, and all this would resolve itself and then she came out. Her eyes were puffy, but she seemed calmer, making me scared. There was no way her emotions could switch that quickly, but she was a gamma, a trained warrior. She could master her emotions.

“Do you think it is yours?” She asked calmly with a tinge of sadness in her voice. “Might be,” I replied honestly. Tia nodded and exhaled. I knew it was a hard pill to swallow and braced myself for the outcome.

“Tell her she deals with me henceforth. Anything that has to do with the pregnancy goes through me.” She said with a straight face, and I was stunned. I wondered If I heard Tia right, but I did.

“Tell her she can keep the baby. She will be cared for, and everything will be taken care of. No one will take her baby from her, but she has to deal with me. If she is not willing to deal with me, tell her we will file for custody and take the baby from her. The baby is innocent in all of this, and I do not like how she is trying to use it.” She said and went to her closet. I could not believe what my wife had just said; she had solved my problem. Here I thought she would give me hell for it, but she didn’t. Elisabeth was messing with the wrong girl. Tia was tough, physically and mentally. I see why she made it as Gamma.
