Kats POV
I quickly get dressed in a grey crop top hoodie with exposed shoulders, black skinny jeans and black sneakers. I walk out grabbing my phone and charger to see Ethan with an amused expression on his face.
"babe you might want to change"
"what's wrong with my outfit?" I ask with a frown
"well for one it's really cold where we're going," he says with a light chuckle that sounds so sexy and makes my insides heat up
"well counter-argument I'm blessed by Apollo so I believe I'm going to be alright. But if you still have a problem with it why don't you make me change" I reply in a sultry voice hoping that he catches on.
I mean I love him, but sometimes he can be a little slow to catch on to stuff. This time he catches on and leans down to capture my lips, his scent intoxicating me and forcing my heart into a frenzy when he suddenly pulls away leaving me wanting more. I lean up to his 6ft 2 inches frame trying to recapture his lips but he once again pulls away leaving me confused.
"babe we have to get going, we have a long drive ahead of us"
"We can just teleport there," I say reaching up once again to kiss him, this time he obliges but as if remembering what he just said he pulls away again
"nice try, but we do have to get going. If we suddenly appear in Forestville we'll raise suspicion, besides it's not every day that I get to drive my baby" he says clearly thinking about his car
ugh, men and their cars
I begrudgingly follow him out the door and into the elevator horny and unsatisfied. We reach the parking garage and climb into his Lamborghini Centenario.
"I missed you so much baby," he says with a look of admiration on his face, planting a kiss on the steering wheel before turning the car on. The grin on his face becomes larger as he enjoys the purr of the engine when he revs it. with a look of exasperation on my face, I turn to him and say
"do you need me to get you two a room"
"no, we'd just like a moment alone please," he says, still looking at the car.
"un-fucking-believable" I say, opening the door to get out when he reaches across and slams the door laughing at me.
He holds his hand out in front of him and opens it. the portal he just opened was only indicated by the blast of cold air and snow that suddenly filled the garage.
"What? you didn't really think we'd drive all the way to Cali did you?" he says with a smug smile.
We go forward and through the portal coming out behind a diner 100km from Forestville. As we drive by I take in the scenery while Ethan just remains silent, probably nervous about seeing his family for the first time in three years. I placed my hand over his that was tapping the steering wheel in a frenzy.
"it's going to be alright Ethan they're your family, tell them the truth and they'll understand"
"and if they don't?"
"then I'll be your family," I say before I can stop myself. I open my mouth to apologize but the smile on his face has me slinking sheepishly back into my seat. I turn back to the window to admire the scenery some more and in a few seconds, I'm fast asleep.
.................................
I'm woken up two hours later by the car coming to a stop and Ethan saying
"wake up babe we're here"
I step out of the car to see a ranch with a lot of cattle and horses everywhere. To the north of the gate, we just came through is a large Victorian-era mansion with an exquisite garden. To the right and left is basically a small village filled with houses for the pack members probably. In the field, some men are shoeing horses and taking care of the cattle. We drive up to the mansion and stop
"come on, let's meet my parents," Ethan says with a grin
"dude, your parents are like really loaded, makes me wish I got Lupa's stupid blessing instead and became a werewolf" I ask him in an astonished tone.
"All of these isn't only from pack profits, my dad's a business tycoon and my mom's a stay at home wife, but my sister is in business school getting ready to take over the family business as soon as my dad steps down as chairman of the board," he says in an almost bored tone
we climb the stairs to the mansion leaving our bags in the car. Ethan rings the bell and it's answered by a portly woman in a maid's uniform. When she sees Ethan she starts crying and hugs him. Then in a voice that's either Albanian or Russian, she says through the sniffles
"master Ethan so good to see you" she then let's go of him and looks him over then smacks him in the head shouting angrily
"Why did you never call, not even once? and look at you, you're all skin and bones" she says as she gives the extremely buff and muscular giant beside me a once over
"ouch, Magda I'm here now isn't that all that matters?"Ethan asks hopefully but she wasn't having it so she hits him again.
"no, it's been so lonely without you, your mom still makes breakfast for 5 even though you've been a selfish little bastard," she says while hitting him again, so Ethan does the manly thing and hides behind me. The woman's eyes finally rest on me, her eyes studying me for a minute before she smiles at me and stretches out her hand.
"hi I'm Magda, the housekeeper for the pierce family and that stubborn son of a bitch hiding like a coward behind you," she says her smile not faltering even once and I suddenly have a feeling we're going to be best of friends
"Hi I'm Kat, the coward's girlfriend"
"hi Kat, why don't you come in it must be cold out there" and true to her word it was cold. She stood aside as we entered, her hand once again finding Ethan's head before we were completely through the doorway
"would you like something to drink or eat Kat?" she asks sweetly
"no thanks it was a long journey so I think I'm just going to sleep"
"I'd like an orange juice Magda," Ethan says from his hiding spot behind me, but the look Magda gives him makes him cower behind me again muttering a "never mind"
We go up the stairs and turn left stopping in front of a door with the name Ethan painted on it with a crayon in a child's handwriting and a little red heart next to it. "awww" I say as I pinch his cheeks "who was a really cute kid when growing up?" I tease him in a baby voice but the deadpan look he gives me halts the momentum of my joke completely.
We open the door to find the bed with the covers thrown back, a black hoodie on a chair in the corner. The lights turned on, and the floor littered with wet tissues. I turn to Ethan with a mischievous smile on my face
"Somebody must have been a very horny teenager," I say while pinching his cheek
"This isn't mine," he says with a confused look on his face
"oh sure," I say with a wink
"It's not mine, you know what? I'm going to get Magda and she'll tell you that those aren't mine" he said with a tone of finality and ran down the hall.
I looked around the room taking in the environment that the man I love grew up in. the walls are sky blue with clouds and sparrows painted onto them. His desk had a transparent reading lamp with constellations on it so that they cast shadows of the constellation onto his books. The clothes in his cupboard were neatly folded by his mother, perhaps because of the love and accuracy put into them. I jump onto the bed and smell the comforters. The smell of his musk is still very present on it, turning me on so I decide to go find him so he can scratch the itch we didn't scratch this morning. I get to the kitchen and see nobody inside so I walk outside and to the car to see if he's there but get sidetracked by a horse nibbling on my jacket and turn to pet it for a few minutes. When I turn around to get back to finding Ethan I find a gun in my face. On the other end is a man with greying hair but a surprisingly muscular build, behind him is a girl about Ethan's age carrying a little girl in a princess outfit. The older girl is dressed in a spaghetti strap red bohemian sundress with wedges on her feet. Her brown hair flowed over her eyes but from what I can see she's quite the beauty. Behind them an older woman in jeans and a leather jacket with a scarf around her neck walks slowly towards the house, then suddenly stops turning to the man with a bored expression on her face and saying to him.
"Jon let's just let her go" and then turning to me she says "Ethan isn't here and hasn't been here for the past three years. So, if I were you I'd take my gold digging somewhere else"
shocked I open my mouth to speak but get interrupted by Ethan who comes out to the patio with fluffy pink bunny slippers on and a plate of fruity loops in his hands. His mouth full to the brim with food but he still manages to say
"you know it'd really suck if you kicked out my girlfriend without getting to meet her first" and then he stuffed another spoon in his mouth crunching loudly
