"You still know where your home is, I thought you got lost somewhere," Amber remarked as soon as Daniel walked in.
It was already 7:00 pm, and her mate loved working more than anything had just returned; It had been long since she brought her bitchy side out, and If Daniel wanted that, then she would be willing to show some spice tonight.
Daniel looked at Amber's angry face and smelled trouble; especially her sitting position said it all. With her legs crossed and both her arms placed on either side of her, she looked like some mafia boss ready to give an order.
"Hi baby," Daniel greeted consciously.
He didn't want to say the wrong thing, fearing that he would anger her more than she already was.
Amber didn't even blink when she heard his greeting. She left the field open, more like giving him a chance to redeem himself, but he took it for granted, 'Let's see how you make it alive today.' She thought in her mind
Alex could feel the emotional turmoil running in her mind and smiled with his eyes; he knew his woman well, so he came closer and knelt on one knee beside her. Daniel then held her by the waist and pulled her closer to him.
The little act made Amber shiver, and she almost lost her resolve, and the cunning man beside might have seen it too.
"I was wrong, my love," Daniel yielded.
Yes, Amber has always been strong, and she never complained much, but he was wrong for ignoring her.
"Is that an apology or?" She asked grumpily
It has always been hard for the both of them to be angry at the other, but Amber wanted to take a stance with him today, and let him off the hook just because he was being cute wouldn't send the message across.
Seeing that his mate wasn't relenting, Alex started to feel the seriousness of the matter. Amber never held on to the matters for long, as long as he showed remorse.
"It's an apology love; I didn't mean to ignore you. I wasn't alone; the Alpha was there too,"
"And what am I supposed to do with that? Are you by any chance using the Alpha to sweep the matter under the carpet?"
"Can we not fight, please,"
Daniel lifted his eyes to look Amber in the eyes, silently begging her to forgive and let it go, but she only looked away from him.
Since the soft way has refused, Daniel decided to do it the only way he knew how. He lifted her off the seat, and instead, he then made her straddle him.
"What are you doing?" Amber screamed in fright. Of course, she knew that he wouldn't drop her, but he wasn't playing fair.
"What were you saying?" Daniel asked nonchalantly
Amber couldn't look him in the eyes because of the position. She couldn't help that she had weakened already. Amber felt him growing on her from down, and she was already sweating from being anxious.
Daniel saw her losing composure and smirked. He pulled her closure and then closed the remaining distance between them. He kissed her slow, and passionately.
Amber yielded and surrendered herself to him and wrapped her arms around Daniel's neck. She tried to pull herself closer into his arms as if she wanted to get lost in him but failed.
Her little act didn't escape her man's sight, making him smile. He then held her by the waist and pulled her in without breaking the kiss.
Amber had missed Daniel's kisses, his touch, and attention, so she gripped onto him when she felt him pull away.
She was like a koala sticking to him. "It's ok, my love. I just want to carry you upstairs. ok?"
When he felt her nodding, he then pulled away and smoothed her hair. Daniel carried her to their room bridal style and placed her on the bed.
No sooner had he placed her on the bed, than she screamed in pain. The little scream startled Daniel "What is wrong my love?" He asked anxiously
"It's my stomach, babe" She answered while rubbing her tummy
"Periods?" Daniel knew her cycle, but he had forgotten due to being busy.
He led her to the bathroom and left a pad for her, then left for the kitchen to make a hot bottle for her. It always worked and help her sleep in more.
When he returned, he found her lying on the bed without changing into her pajamas and decided to help her.
He went into the closet to her something more comfortable, but warm enough for her to sleep in.
After helping her change, he changed too and then joined her to lay in the bed while placing the warm bottle on her lower belly.
The little gesture made Amber feel more comfortable and the pain reduced a bit. "Thank you, baby," She told him gratefully.
"Anything for you, my love. I am also sorry for neglecting you so long" Daniel responded.
Amber smiled, and just like that, the two lovers went through the night with Daniel trying to make his mate feel more comfortable.
When Daniel opened his eyes, he found that Amber was sleeping on top of him. He smile and only shook his head. 'Some habits will never live' He thought to himself.
For fear of waking her, he left her to sleep some more. He placed both his hands behind his head and waited on her.
In her own time, Amber stirred awake and looked around to check if Daniel was still next to her making the man himself chuckle at her act.
Amber buried her face in his neck when she heard his voice and the position in which she was made it worse.
"Good morning, princess. Slept well?" He asked as he lovingly rubbed her back
Amber answered with a nod and then asked Daniel if he had no work today. He told her he wasn't busy because he had already taken care of some things.
The two left for the bathroom to wash their faces and then went to have breakfast. While having breakfast, Daniel filled Amber in on what they were dealing with.
Amber finally understood why he had been so busy and also apologized for not being so understanding as a mate, but Daniel brushed it off and told her how she had every right to complain if she felt neglected by him.
