\u201cWould you like a bubble bath?\u201d I asked Kais, lighting up the melancholic mood. \u201cYou know you haven\u2019t really had one since you got here\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, I would love that very much, Big Wolf,\u201d Kaia squealed, kissing the tip of my nose.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou should totally try a jasmine bubble bath, it will help you relax,\u201d I suggested.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSure, let\u2019s do that\u201d Kaia agreed. \u201cMy muscles need all the attention they can get\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I went into the bathroom and filled up the tub with warm water and jasmine flowers for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, I went back and scooped her up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, haha\u201d Kaia laughed. \u201cWhat are you doing? Keep me down, I\u2019m going to fall\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, you are not,\u201d I leaned in. \u201cI will never let you fall\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaia nodded. She looked at my lips and locked her lips to mine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I dropped her in the bathtub and got a sponge to wash her back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I sat in the tub while Kaia had her back turned to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I poured some shampoo onto her hair, lathered it until it foamed, then gently scratched her scalp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaia closed her eyes, savouring the relief she got from it\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis feels so good, Alpha,\u201d Kaia moaned. \u201cYou should consider running a salon as a part-time job, don\u2019t you agree?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you think I\u2019m that good?\u201d I asked, raising her hair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are way better than the attendants back at my old salon. They were useless, they couldn\u2019t make my scalp relax for shit. And you did it in one goal, that\u2019s efficiency, big wolf\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I chuckled at her words, and she\u2019s serious too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me do a test run with your hair then I can decide if I want a salon or not\u201d I replied, and she chuckled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, I\u2019m down for free washes,\u201d Kaia said. \u201cCan you imagine a salon-running Alpha? It will be so funny\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, everyone is going to make fun of me then?\u201d I frowned. \u201cCara, Lucien, Elara\u2026 They won\u2019t miss a chance to humiliate me\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStop thinking of those things, it doesn\u2019t matter\u201d Kais turned to look at me. \u201cMoreover, those three are cramped with the wedding, they don\u2019t have our time\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
18:42 Tue, Jan 20\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 82\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, right\u201d I agreed. \u201cBut you know how Cara is, she\u2019s really good at multitasking\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaia shifted closer in the warm bath, her knees brushing mine as she arched a brow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo Cara is good at multitasking, hum? Wedding planning, plotting, and being dramatic?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I huffed. \u201cYou forgot being offended by things no one said. She excels at that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaia laughed under her breath, leaning her head back. \u201cOh? Did she offend herself again?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I rubbed a hand over my face. \u201cYeah, she did\u2026 Yesterday\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She perked up. \u201cTell me. I\u2019m as curious as a cat\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
GD\u00a0<\/p>\n

I let out a sigh. \u201cShe got mad at me during the family meeting to discuss Lucien\u2019s marriage. Se claimed to have breathed aggressively at the meeting just to spite her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaia choked on her laughter, splashing water everywhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe did what?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe said my breathing\u2019 is disrespectful. Kaia\u201d I laughed too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaia clutched her stomach. \u201cTheo, please stop talking, oh my ribs\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m serious!\u201d I insisted. \u201cApparently, my lungs are rude these days\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was laughing so hard that tears formed at the corners of her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe needs help. A normal person wouldn\u2019t act the way she does.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cClearly. And Lucien agreed with her, which is worse.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat your breathing is offensive?\u201d she winked at me\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cApparently, everything I do is offensive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaia wiped her eyes, still giggling. \u201cNo wonder you\u2019re stressed, Alpha. You\u2019re out here inhaling wrongly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I glared at her playfully. \u201cDo you know how humiliating it is to be scolded just for existing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She nudged my leg with hers. \u201cHonestly? You\u2019re lucky she didn\u2019t schedule a meeting about it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I paused\u2026she tried.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaia squealed, throwing her head back in the water.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. No. Tell me you\u2019re lying.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe asked Kingsley to \u2018discipline me for my breathing habits.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOh my goddess, Theo\u201d Kaia was laughing so hard she slid downward, and I had to steady her before her head went under.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She finally caught her breath and cupped my jaw, still giggling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re unbelievable.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m unbelievable?\u201d I pointed at her. \u201cYou\u2019re laughing at my trauma.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not trauma,\u201d she snorted. \u201cIt\u2019s just so silly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I leaned in until our noses brushed. \u201cLaugh all you want. At least someone appreciates my suffering.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaia pressed a quick kiss to the corner of my mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI appreciate everything about you. Even your \u2018offensive breathing, big wolf.\u201d\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI hate you,\u201d I muttered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t,\u201d she whispered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was right. I didn\u2019t. I can never hate the one who makes me feel whole.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I lathered the sponge and washed her back. Then she raised her body until there was nothing left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked at me and then flicked a handful of water at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, blue-eyed, what are you doing?\u201d I jerked, holding her hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou stare at me way too much,\u201d she teased, squinting dramatically. \u201d Did I grow another head?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I raised a brow. \u201cI\u2019ll let you know when I stop appreciating the one you have.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She snorted. \u201cSmooth. Not bad, Alpha\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI try,\u201d I murmured, pulling her closer in the bathtub.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her fingers traced my chest lazily. \u201cYou\u2019re staring again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGet used to it,\u201d I said. \u201cYou\u2019re mine to look at. And I want nothing more than to glare at you all day\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She rolled her eyes, cheeks pink. \u201cPossessive Alpha.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou like it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t deny it, she just grinned silently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me wash your hair for you,\u201d Kaia suggested, grabbing the shampoo.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWait, you don\u2019t have to. I will do it myself\u201d I tried to stop her but she wouldn\u2019t listen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou washed mine, now it\u2019s my turn to help you. So, let me\u201d Kaia pointed out and I had no choice but to let her do as she pleased.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She massaged shampoo gently through my hair, my eyes fluttering closed, lips parting slightly at the slow strokes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is illegal,\u201d I mumbled. \u201cYou\u2019re going to spoil me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood,\u201d I said. \u201cI like you spoiled.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, it\u2019s me who should spoil you instead. I don\u2019t want to get used to this\u201d I nudged her neck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, this is just a parting gift from me,\u201d Kais bit her lower lip, making my cock twitch. Oh goddess, she\u2019s so sexy. \u201cWhen you get back, you\u2019ll do all the washing\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaia didn\u2019t realise she was doing it to me with the way she was biting and twirling her tongue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBlue-eyes, stop that otherwise I won\u2019t be able to control myself,\u201d I warned, looking at her lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kais looked at me and immediately understood what I was aiming at but instead of stopping, she increased the pace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She licked her lips, mimicking sucking a cock and I lost all control.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was purposely seducing me, fuck it, I\u2019m a cheap man and she knows it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I hopped out of the bathtub and made her come as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I scooped her up, placing her legs over my shoulders and I viciously pounded into her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I kept thrusting in until we both exploded, spilling our liquid on each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was mind-blowing, Alpha\u201d Kaia winded, teasing me. \u201cLet\u2019s do this often\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe really should,\u201d I grinned back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the shower, she tried to grab a towel, but I got to it first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSit,\u201d I ordered softly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaia sat on the edge of the bed while I kneeled behind her, gently towel-drying her curls.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She kept stealing glances at me in the mirror, half shy, half flustered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re so dramatic,\u201d she muttered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou love it, don\u2019t deny it\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She shrugged. \u201cMaybe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her hair was fluffy and soft, sticking to my fingers, and I couldn\u2019t stop touching it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re staring again,\u201d she whispered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMm,\u201d I murmured, leaning down to kiss the back of her shoulder. \u201cI\u2019ll never stop.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After helping with her hair, Kaia got up to get her clothes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She reached for her clothes, my clothes actually, since she stole half of them but I shook my head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHey that\u2019s my clothes, blue eyes\u201d I said, and she looked at me with a side eye.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I know but they are very comfortable\u201d she bemoaned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what all thieves say,\u201d I said. \u201cStop stealing my shirt, you blue-eyed thief!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHaha. Stop buying comfortable shirts then\u201d she teased and grabbed one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she tried to wear it, it got stuck on the hairpin she was wearing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEasy, baby. I\u2019ve got you.\u201d I reassuringly said while trying to help her with the shirt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I got it done in no time and she sighed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou cast an evil eye on me,\u201d she accused. \u201cIt was because you didn\u2019t want me wearing the shirt that\u2019s why it got stuck\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo way! I\u2019d never do that to you\u201d I said. \u201cI was kidding, wear whatever you want. I will buy more\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, I helped her step into her shorts, slid the shirt over her head, smoothing the fabric down her sides.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She lifted her arms like a doll, playful and smiling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re too gentle,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s suspicious.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to hurt you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou won\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I kissed her temple. \u201cI\u2019d rather die than let anything hurt you again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her breath caught, but she didn\u2019t argue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We got ready and had Maliya deliver our dinner to the room, after the multiple orgasms we were too tired to go downstairs for dinner.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaia and I ate, Kaia couldn\u2019t stop talking and I couldn\u2019t stop watching her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After dinner, I went to bed first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Later, she climbed into bed wearing the shirt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was too big for her, swallowing her thighs, and the collar was slipping off her shoulder.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I swear my heart actually cracked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She curled up on my pillow, hugging it, mumbling, \u201cIt smells like you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I looked at her cute face and my heart melted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat now? Why are you smiling like that? You look creepy\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not,\u201d I said. \u201cI just\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She yawned. \u201cLiar. Come on let\u2019s sleep.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

I lay on my back and she climbed onto me instantly, resting her cheek on my chest like it was her favourite spot to be.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Within a few minutes, she was out breathing softly with her body drowning in my shirt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And I melted. Completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wrapped my arms around her, buried my nose in her hair, and whispered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll spend every day earning this\u2026 earning you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t hear it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Good. I\u2019d say it again tomorrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
