Emily Chloros' POV
"No," Jonathan said as he was moving from the balcony and went to stand in front of me. I was holding my chin high when I was staring at him. He was not happy but I don't care. I cannot marry one of the shifter species that had killed my parents.
"Tell me one good reason why you can't marry me? Tell me why," Jonathan asked me as I was looking at him. He was serious. Fine, I will tell him the truth.
"You know full well what happened 13 years ago,"
"Yes,"
"You were there when my parents were being devoured by those foxes,"
"That's correct," he said that made me gritted my teeth.
"And I have sworn that I will kill any fox shifters when I saw one,"
"Okay,"
"And you're one of them. So, I have to kill you as well," I said as I was looking at Jonathan. He was silent as his brown eyes were looking at me. I smirked inwardly as he has nothing to say to that.
"Would you?"
"What?" I asked him as he was looking at me with his intense eyes. It was unnerving but I cannot help the shiver that was coming from his gaze. I think I would love to hold that gaze but in a different setting entirely.
What the hell?!
I shook my head before I was clearing my throat. I was looking at him before I scowled.
"Why do you think I would not do it?" I asked him as he was stepping closer to me. My knees were hitting the bed before I stopped as Jonathan was looking at me before he was focusing on my lips.
"Should I remind you what happened last night when I put my lips on yours?" He said as he was playing with my lower lips with his thumb. I was licking my lips before I was tasting his thumb.
Cinnamon, just like I remembered.
"I don't think that would be a good idea," I said as I was breathing heavily before my chest was rising up and down. Jonathan was smirking at me before he was looking into my eyes. There was mischief in his eyes.
Not good.
"So, let's get you ready for the union," he said before he was pushing me to get me ready for the signing of the marriage certificate. I was being pushed to the bathroom before Jonathan was trying to unbutton my blouse. I stopped him.
"What do you think you're doing?" I asked him as he smirked at me.
"Getting you ready. It's not unusual for an engaged couple to get naked with each other even before the wedding," he said that made blood was running to my face after his comment.
"Okay, that's it. Out, I want you out of here, now!" I said as I was pushing him away out of the bathroom.
"10 minutes or I will come and pick you out of the shower, whether you're ready or not," he said before I was closing the door in front of his face. He chuckled before I was hopping into the shower and got ready.
I was fixing the towel around my body when I was barely out of the shower before Jonathan was inside the bathroom. I shrieked before I was glaring at him. His brown orbs were appreciating me up and down when I felt some pride inside me as his orbs darkened.
"Well, have you done? Come on, we have to move now or I will dress you up," he warned me as I was moving out of the shower. Then I realized that I was doing everything that he asked me.
"Wait a minute. I don't even remember that I was agreeing to get married to you. I want to call off the engagement because you're a monster," I said before something was flashing across his eyes but it was gone when he blinked away. Then, Jonathan smirked at me.
"No can do, sweetheart. I have the evidence here," Jonathan said as he was pulling his phone and played something.
"Say it,"
"I'm yours,"
I was blushing when I heard my voice all husky and turned on. God, this guy knows how to make someone embarrassed.
"So, as per the government state of the law in the section of marriage and holy matrimony, I'm required to marry you as you are to me. You're my betrothed, Emily and I will keep my promise from 13 years ago," Jonathan said before he was putting the phone away. I was scoffing at him before someone was coming to knock on the front door. I was about to open it before Jonathan was blocking me.
"Get a dress, now," he growled as I was looking into his eyes. It was orange, so that means he was being protective now. Right?
"Why? It's not like I will let them inside my house," I said as I was looking at Jonathan. His orange eyes were being brighter as he was gritting his teeth.
"I don't want people to see you naked. You're mine and your body will only be seen by me," he said as he was pushing me into the walk-in wardrobe before I was trying to get away. But Jonathan was stronger than me as he pushed me inside the closet.
"Put the dress that I hang out for you and don't come out until I say so," he said before he was shutting the door on my face. I scoffed. No one dares to do that! I was growing in the streets and I was looking at the dress. It was conservative before a dark thought was coming into my mind. I smirked as I was getting ready.
Jonathan Alepou, you're in for a surprise.
Jonathan Alepou's POV
I was not having the best day right now when I know some guys were inside the bedroom that my mate was sleeping. I was looking at the workers like a hawk before I heard some rattling. Wait, could it be?
Then, the closet was opening and Emily was walking out of the closet with a smug smirk on her lips right now. I swear I will punish her later as for; one, she defied me to wear the black long dress with long sleeves with a short green dress that fell to her knees that made the workers ogled her. Second, she was walking around as if she did not have a bra on. I gritted my teeth.
This woman was testing my patience as she was walking to the workers like she was a goddess right now.
"Thank you for the hard work to repair the doors. Some psycho last night," she said as she was glaring at me before she turned to smile at the workers, "was breaking in while I was asleep. I don't think the city was safe any longer, don't you think?" She asked the workers when I saw their eyes were focusing on her breasts without the bra on.
My fox was growling and I was taking the bold step before I was pulling at her hair on the nape and leaned into her face. I claimed her in a possessive kiss that I know it will make her wet as I can sense her core was dripping right now.
Emily was shocked before she recovered and she kissed me fervently later. I was smirking as I know that workers were staring at us before I was breaking the kiss and Emily whined. I chuckled.
"We need to get married now, love. Or you might be missing this goodness tonight," I said as I was pulling her to get out. Thankfully, she was too dazed to protest now.
