Capítulo 274: Forty
We spend the late hours of the night losing ourselves in each other. Bitter-sweet moments filled with love and promise of an uncertain future. When night bleeds into dawn, Mason takes a deep breath and lets it out heavily.
" I should get going." He kisses my forehead and squeezes me so tight that it takes my breath away, and I'm not sure, but I think I heard a crack in my ribs.
" I love you, and I'll miss you, Canim," He says as he loosens his grip on me. Looking up at him, I take his cheek in my hand, rubbing the day-old stubble with the tip of my finger, trying to memorise the feel of it on my skin.
" When will I see you again?" I ask, looking into his eyes. There is no deceit in there; there are no walls for me to climb, just openness.
" Tomorrow night. After we clear the air with Eric, you still have to train. And he cannot forbid you to see me since I'm the only one you can do it with. I'll speak to him today and explain the situation. " As much as I appreciate the helping hand, I hope that Eric will understand. Can't say that I'm looking forward to that conversation.
" Alright. You should get up. You still have to go home and change for the day. " I look around the room at the pile of clothes on the floor and sigh.
Mason chuckles and slips off the bed. " I should, shouldn't I? Enid is hosting a dinner party on Saturday, and I was told that you are invited. " He plucks his underwear off the floor, giving it a good shake to flatten the wrinkles.
" Who else will be there?" I ask as I sit up on the bed and watch him entranced, his muscles flex and bunch with every move he makes. That delicious ass has me completely under its spell.
Mason chuckles," You seem more worried about my delicious ass than who is coming to the dinner party," that snaps me out of my trance. I won't be able to see it for a while.
" Well, I think I have every right to be since I won't be seeing it or touching it for a while now," He gives me a sly grin over his shoulder as he slides his arms through the sleeve of his shirt.
" Oh, Canim. I won't be so sure about that. And to answer your question, Ava is not invited since this is Enid's party. Antoine will be there; he is travelling from Varan as we speak. Marie, Livvy, Thaddeus, Will, and a few others that now I can't remember. And if I were you, I'd use this as an opportunity to let down Ashley. And one final request can I be present while you do it? " Of course, he would love to rub it in Ashley's face.
" No, you can not be present." His shoulders slump with a roll of his eyes.
" You know, unless you have a vagina and can walk on six-inch heels, rolling your eyes is not as appealing as we make it look," I smirk and he laughs.
" I'll miss you," I say just as Mason slips his suit jacket on.
" And I'll miss you too. I'll see you on Wednesday evening for training..." He wiggles his brows at me, letting me know that's not all we will be doing on Wednesday.
Fingers crossed, all goes well with Eric on Wednesday.
"Don't worry about it. We just have to be patient and extra sneaky about it," He kisses me so deeply and passionately that I go weak in the knees. Fortunately, I'm still sitting on the bed, otherwise I would've collapsed on the floor.
When he pulls away, we're both panting, struggling to catch our breath," Be good, Canim. Don't get into too much trouble while I'm away," He pecks my lips and opens the revolving window. Cool air seeps into the room, making me shiver and Mason laughs.
" I love you," He says before grabbing the frame and thrusting himself on the roof. And just like that he is gone, like a foregone conclusion, leaving me alone in a dusty loft feeling destitute.
Falling back on the bed, I decide to catch up on some sleep and prepare myself to deal with the day ahead. Laira must be also awake by now, considering she went to sleep at noon.
But knowing her she is probably tinkering in her room like a sprite, who can't sit still long enough for her feet to leave an indent on the carpet.
And with that thought in mind, I drift off to sleep.
