Chapter 17
Sol Cortez's POV
I'm nervous.
I didn't expect Yejide to meet my parents like this.
But here we go.
I'm sitting next to my father in the great hall.
It's where all important dinner meetings are held.
Me and my dad are good friends.
But today I can't even hold conversation with him.
I look at him
^^ Mordecai Cortez
As usual, he watches carefully over the room, while maintaining a powerful but warm aura.
As kind as he is, my dad is not one for nonsense.
Not at all.
I'm distracted by clamouring.
I look at the source and see the doors on the other side of the hall have been opened.
Yejide must be here.
'She is!' Noir says excitedly.
He can probably smell her.
And then I see her.
^^ Yejide's outfit.
Fuck me.
I can immediately feel Noir going crazy as we watch her get closer to us.
Her hair has been slicked back and her clothes make everything look edible.
And I want to eat until there's nothing left.
Until she's shaking and can't even speak.
I normally tend to suppress my lust for Yejide.
But today it's fuck all that.
I wonder how she reacts to spanking?
I'm cut out of my lewd thoughts by my father, who leans in.
"I can see why you're obsessed with her. She's beautiful" he says.
I can only nod.
Words wouldn't do her the justice she deserves.
She approaches our table, and all eyes are on her.
Men and women alike are drooling over her, but her eyes are straight forward.
She's doing so well.
She stops in front of us, bowing low.
I try not to get distracted by the way her breasts rise and fall with her deep breaths.
I catch a look at Ezra, who has had a fresh hair cut and is also all dressed up.
He stares at her ass shamelessly and even without reading his mind, I can tell he's imagining what it would look like with him behind it.
I feel a pang of jealousy along side a rush of competition.
I want her.
Need her, in fact.
And I'll have her.
"Alphas. Thank you for allowing me into your beautiful home and treating this outsider with kindness" Yejide says.
Her voice rings out clearly and it's so sweet, yet mellow and sexy.
I hold myself and Noir back from jumping over this table, snatching her up and making the entire hall listen as I finish her off in a nearby room.
"We accept your thanks" my father says.
"We accept your thanks!" The whole room agrees.
I nearly chuckle.
Look at these simps.
Falling over a pretty woman.
My father looks at Iris.
"Escort the young lady and Mr Foster to our table! They are our guests of honour today!" He says and the whole room bursts into happy cheers.
Yejide looks at me and my lungs nearly collapse.
Her eyes gently trail down my frame, leaving an unmistakable trail of heat in their path.
Fuck me.
She moves to sit with us and she is led to the seat next to me.
She sits and Ezra sits on the other side of her.
Then Iris on the end.
At the other end, next to my father, is my mother.
^ Kamaria Cortez
She's been dying to meet Yejide but we haven't had the time.
I'll arrange for it later.
Yejide leans towards me.
"You smell amazing" is the first thing she tells me.
'Good enough to eat?' Noir quips and I internally strangle him.
"Thank you" I say smoothly.
"You look incredible" I counter, getting close to her ear.
Whatever perfume she has on is slowly killing me off.
I want to tear her out of this dress.
I make eye contact with Ezra and he has a similar look on his face.
He reaches for her thigh under the table while she talks to me and he grips it.
I know that if he had her alone for even a second, the dress would be in tatters.
We both look at each other for a second and then Yejide breaks the trance.
"Boys" she calls softly.
We instantly turn our attention to her.
She chuckles.
"Oh" she says.
"Oh?" Ezra asked.
"The pin just dropped. You both want me so badly" she says softly.
I feel my throat catch.
We've been caught.
Both me and Ezra remain quiet.
The food comes and Yejide thanks the servers politely and they responded excitedly.
The food looks amazing, but even as we eat, I can't concentrate.
The time might come for her to choose between me and Ezra and I want her to choose me.
But I see the way they look at each other.
Do we even have a chance?
After a while, the party really starts to kick in and people get on the dance floor.
My father calls for us and we leave with him quietly.
My father, mother, Ezra, Yejide, Iris and myself walk together to my father's office.
As soon as we get there, my father offers us all drinks and he sits at his chair, pulling my mother into his lap.
We squeeze onto the couch and Iris sits on a separate chair, watching us all.
"It's so lovely to finally meet you" my mother greets Yejide.
Yejide stands and bows extremely low.
Lower than she did when greeting my father.
"Likewise. I'm so happy to put a face to the name" Yejide says.
My mother looks surprised then so happy.
"You seem lovely!" She says, standing to hug Yejide.
My heart swells watching them.
She sits back down on my father's lap and Yejide squeezes between the pair of us again.
"Iris, Sol and Ezra have given me a full scale report on you" my father says, taking a sip of his drink.
"Is there any way you can help me understand all of this?" Yejide asks.
My father nods.
"By the looks of it, the tribal marks are not at all complete. And we need them to be complete to find out exactly what they mean" He says.
"How do I do that?" Yejide asks.
He shrugs.
"Well if this is what I think it is, then that means that the marks are triggered by affectionate behaviour. You've got two men who are in love with you." He says.
There is a heavy pause.
And if this mark comes from where I think it does, then instead of the affection being sprung on you, it should be intentional." He says, eyeing both me and Ezra.
Did he have to say it like that?
"What d'you think it is?" Yejide asks.
My father shakes his head.
"I won't say until I'm sure" he responds, standing up and taking my mother with him.
"I'll leave you three to decide how you want to deal with this" he says.
He signals to Iris, and she gets up to follow.
They leave us in the office.
Now it's just me, Ezra and Yejide.
Fuck.
