Lahat ng Kabanata ng Claimed By His Daddy (Stripper/Nerd): Kabanata 181 - Kabanata 190

KaelAll I know is that she is too close and my body is already betraying me. Her scent fills my lungs and it is warm and familiar and dangerous. The kind of dangerous that makes a man forget promises he swore to keep. My hands curl into fists at my sides because if I touch her wrong I know I will lose everything I have left of my control.She looks up at me with those eyes that have ruined me from the start. So hazel and soft and beautiful. Too brave for her own good. Carrying my child and still daring to pull me closer like she owns me.She does!I swallow hard and my voice comes out rough. “You should not look at me like that.”She tilts her head. “Like what?”“Because I am barely holding myself together.”I slide my hands to her waist and pull her against me before I can stop myself. Her body fits like it was made to. Like this is where she has always belonged. Her breath spills against my neck and the bond lights up again. Her pussy brushes against mine and I groan because it is

Arielle Before I can form a coherent to his soft words of (I love you) he shifts, his movements fluid and sure. He stands scooping me effortlessly into his arms as if I weigh nothing.“Hold on” he murmurs against my hair.I cling to his neck, my face buried in his warm skin as he carries me through the darkened room and into the adjoining bathroom. He sets me gently on my feet on the cool tiled floor. The only light comes from the moon streaming through the window casting a silver glow over his powerful form and the evidence of our sex that still coats the inside of my thighs.He turns on the water in the large glass-walled shower, the sound a steady soothing hiss that fills the small space. While it warms, he takes a washcloth and runs it under the tap and gently, cleans the evidence of his release from between my legs. The intimacy of the act is staggering more so than the frantic sex we just had. He’s not just taking but he’s giving amd caring. It’s a tenderness that feels more

ArielleI was sitting in class and honestly I wasn’t even paying attention anymore because the lecture was dragging and everything felt slow. I kept rubbing my stomach because the baby had been moving a lot since morning and Kael kept sending little warm feelings through the bond like he always did. It felt normal and safe. Like he was somewhere close even if he wasn’t beside me. I didn’t know anything was wrong. I didn’t feel anything strange. Nothing warned me. Everything was calm one second and then the next second it hit me so hard I almost blacked out.It felt like someone slammed into my chest from the inside. My breath stopped and my vision dropped for a moment. I held the edge of the desk because my hands were shaking all of a sudden. It wasn’t mine. It wasn’t my pain! It was Kael’s! I could feel it like it was ripping through the bond. A violent heat like he was burning from the inside. A panic so sharp it made my heart miss a beat. His mind was a mess breaking. His consc

Arielle Kael did not look dead and that was the cruelest part. His chest still rose and fell slow and steady like he was only sleeping after a long hard day. His skin was warm when I touched his hand. His heartbeat was strong beneath my palm. Everything about him said alive but his eyes never opened. His wolf was gone somewhere I could not reach. Locked away like a door slammed shut in my face.I stayed by his side every day amd night too. They tried to tell me I needed rest. They tried to tell me I was carrying life and should think of myself. I nodded and smiled and ignored every single one of them.I moved into his room fully. I slept in the chair beside his bed or sometimes on the edge of the mattress with my head near his shoulder just so I could hear him breathe. If I slept at all. At night I talked to him. I talked about everything and nothing. I told him what the servants cooked and how it tasted terrible even though they tried. I told him the warrior leader trained the war

ArielleI really thought love was enough to keep me awake. I had been sitting there for hours talking to him. Talking like he could answer like he could squeeze my hand back the way he used to. My voice was hoarse and my eyes were burning but I did not want to stop. Every night I told him about the pack. About how the servants argued over who would bring me food and how the warriors bowed even when I told them not to. About how the babies kicked whenever I said his name.“You see?” I whispered leaning close to his ear. “You still scare them even while sleeping.”His chest rose and fell slow and steady. Alive but empty whicj was the worst part. He was still here but also not here at all. His wolf locked away somewhere I could not reach. I pressed my forehead to his arm and breathed him in.“I am tired,” I admitted softly. “Just for a moment okay? I will rest my eyes small.”That was the lie. Sleep took me like a thief.It was not gentle. It dragged me backward out of myself. I felt it
