Page 12 of Stone Cold
Fathers jaw dropped and his eyes immediately filled with tears as he looked at me. I nodded my head and he wrapped me in a hug. Over his shoulders, I could see my brothers glaring at him, as chimed in with how this didn’t mean I was dropping out, and how I had to keep up with my grades. I lightly laughed, feeling my heart soar in my chest and happy tears down my cheeks.
It seemed that night at the apothecary when Burchard became part human, he wasn’t the only thing that became part human. The doctor said that the baby was growing at a healthy rate and showing strong gargoyle and Fae traits, equally.
I looked up at Burchard, that stone cold, but hot as hell man of mine, with his hand on my still flat belly; his arm draped possessively across the back of the seats, pulling me as close to him as possible. We were sitting in the back of the car on our way to the palace with Papa while my brothers and their mates rode in a separate SUV. Since accepting the bond between us, and finding out about the pregnancy, he has become even more possessive and obsessive with me. He didn’t let me go anywhere by myself. I also wasn’t allowed to carry any of my books to class. He insisted on carrying those and my messenger bag stuffed with my laptop, notebooks, snacks, and water bottle. He also monitored what my cravings were, stocking up on those items,as well as making sure I was drinking an adequate amount of water.
He got me flowers twice a week, helped me take a bath and gave me foot massages when I’d had a long day. He listened to me talk as he brushed my hair before bed. He would always pull me close, kissing me and promising to love only me for eternity. He looked at me, with literal stars in his eyes, and I knew he hung the moon.
He also couldn’t keep his hands off of me.
We had been in trouble more than once by the Dean about our inappropriate behavior. But I couldn’t help it. Especially not after he enrolled as a student. This man was in all of my classes, focusing on class and me. Quite a few of the other girls were deeply disappointed that he was already spoken for, and they really hated it once they realized he was all over the ‘quiet big girl’. He couldn’t keep his hands off of me so badly, that he actually petitioned that we share a room since we had accepted our bond, and were expecting.
It was approved,post haste,once my father made, yet another, very large donation to the school. He had done the same for my brothers.
Once we shared a room though? I blushed the brightest shade of red just thinking of it. Every night, every day, between classes, on the balcony, every inch of my room and parts of the shared room. Burchard was…insatiable. And thinking of him, I felt the shiver go down my back because healwaysgot me hot and bothered, which I knew he could feel through the bond. I was pretty sure we weren’t going to fail our classes, but get kicked out from all of the…coitus we were having.
One night, he ordered our dinner and dessert be delivered to our room. I had no idea that dinner could be soerotic. Onion rings eaten off ofhim…I licked the edible cookie dough off his abs and brownie batter ice cream off his chest. Hedevoured me, licking the whipped cream and icing off the cake from the most delicious of places on my body. Over and over again, he ravished me.
Two weeks after he moved in, Bambi requested a room transfer, citing the noise and lack of privacy, as well as feeling uncomfortable while in shared spaces.
Overall, things in life couldn’t be better for us. We were in love, fully mated, and working on getting our degrees as we became parents. Our official mating ceremony was in a matter of weeks, where Burchard would be announced as Prince, and we would officially be announced as a couple to the Fae people.
What could go wrong?
