บท 653: Back in the Midnight Guardians pack (8) [Bonus chapter]

"Cora", James called and placed a gentle kiss at the curve where her neck met her shoulder, right where his mark should come. "I want to make love to you. I want to mark you as mine. But not when you are upset. I don't want you to regret it as something that was done in the spur of the moment."

Cornelia wanted to deny the upset part, but she didn't want to lie to him.

"So, now what?", Cornelia asked.

James moved to lay next to Cornelia and he pulled her in an embrace before responding, "Now we talk. Tell me, what happened in that room after I left? What got you upset?" She didn't respond, so he continued guessing. "Was it about us? Was it about me?" Cornelia and Yasmin were on their own for no more than two minutes, so they probably continued talking about James.

Cornelia shot him a quick glance, and that confirmed it.

"It's about me.", he said dejectedly while tightening his hold on her, fearing that she will escape him.
