Silent Flames (Vincent series)

Chapter 65

Ariana's POV.

I opened my eyes and felt the ache between my legs. His half-body weight was over me. I was feeling extremely tired. My lower body hurts like hell. All credit goes to him.

My beast husband.

I looked at him sleeping and removed his hand from my waist, slowly I felt him moving.

He looked at me and kissed my forehead, "Good morning."

"Good morning." I stood up and showered. When I came out I found him looking at me.

"Are you okay?" He asked and I nodded drying my hair.

"I've planned a date for us!" He told and I was over the moon. Leaning towards me he kissed my lips lovingly.

We came downstairs and had our breakfast.

Tomorrow is Zane's birthday so I thought I to buy some gifts for him. I and mom came to the market.

She bought some fruit and cake ingredients. We shopped for some clothes for him and after that, we went inside a jewelry shop. I bought a customized platinum chain. It was made especially for him with his initial Z in it.

We were almost done. Heading towards the car I got collided with someone.

"I'm sorry." He apologized. His French accent overpowered as he uttered those words.

"It's okay. It wasn't your fault." He smiled at me and left. We got settled inside the car and came home.

The whole day we were planning for his birthday.

I was going to him to give him his coffee. He was working out so I went towards the gym. I looked for him but he wasn't there.

"Looking for Alaric?" I turned and saw Derek.

He was there too working out. I nodded and he told me that he had gone to attend a call.

I sat on the couch and kept his coffee on the table waiting for him to come.

He sat beside me and looked at me.

"You love him so much..." I smiled at his statement and he looked at me for some moment and held my jaw. Lifting my face he looked at my neck.

"Gosh!" He looked surprised when he noticed the hickey on my neck.

"It turned purple!" His voice sounded concerned as he touched it and I hissed slowly.

"Don't touch it stupid." I removed his hand and his eyes were still focused on that mark.

"Derek it's ok..." He cut me off and narrowed his eyes," Doesn't it hurt...it looks brutal."

I blushed and nodded, "A little."

"You never loved me the way you love Alaric..." My smile faded and he continued with a scoff, "I'm not as fortunate as him." I shook my head and opened my mouth but our attention was drawn by his footsteps as he came in and sat beside me.

"When did you come?" He asked and I told him that I had brought his coffee some moment ago. He smiled and snaked his arms around my waist pulling me closer to his chest and incircle his hand around my neck.

He kissed my cheeks slowly and I didn't react to anything. Derek was right in front of us and he was doing it purposely.

He again kissed my neck and I kept my palm on his chest pushing him away slowly showing the discomfort but he didn't stop.

He pulled me closer breathing on my skin and I clenched my teeth. Finally, Derek stood up giving us some privacy and I felt another level of annoyance. I heaved and he again bit me on the neck.
