Ezra Foster's POV

I wake up to the sound of light snoring and a warm body on top of mine.

I look down to see Yejide sleeping on my chest and her body wrapped around mine.

I catch sight of her back to see that the mark has spread and is now snaking up her spine and her mid thigh.

I feel my face warm up at the flashbacks from last night.

Who taught her that?!

She snatched my soul, put him back and snatched it again until I had to grab a fistful of her hair just to stop her from killing me.

Her sex drive is so insane it should come with a warning label.

I pull her close and she snuggled into my chest.

I don't want to let her go.

I could keep her like this forever.

My mind flickers to the fact that she's still in danger and it makes my blood boil.

I rub her back and I look at the markings.

We're getting closer to our goal and if this is what is going to help then I'll have as many nights with her like this as she needs me to.

I feel my mood shift, when I realise that Sol is going to try to woo her next.

I shrug it off.

It's not a competition, but even if it was, I wouldn't lose.

Yejide and I have a special connection.

I think about the first time I met her.

The soft glow of the library lights bouncing off of her skin.

Her curious eyes and full smile.

The way she dressed. The way she smelled.

I prayed to God in that moment that she wasn't a being that had the capacity to read thoughts, because I would 100% be screwed.

I've been alive for a long time.

And a lot of women have come and gone.

But Yejide, I would give up my immortality for.

With no hesitation.

And not just because we've had sex.

Because she's so determined to live.

I was in a similar situation to her once, a long time ago and I wanted nothing but to hide and disappear.

I kiss her forehead and she doesn't flinch.

She sleeps like a brick.

My mind wonders to what I'm going to feed her for breakfast.

As if annoyingly on cue, there is a knock on the door.

I start to shake Yejide awake and she groans a little bit.

Uncharacteristically, it makes me pout.

I don't want her to leave.

I get up and I go to the door.

I open it and standing there is Sol. He's freshly showered clearly and he gives me a bored look.

"Where's Yejide. I want her to have breakfast with me." He immediately says.

"Good morning" I say, grinning at his impatience.

"Morning. Get Yejide to come eat with me" he greets shortly then falling back on topic.

I nod and turn away from him, giving him a full view of my back that she scratched up.

I can feel the heat radiating off of his body and I hide a grin as I approach the bed where Yejide is still out cold.

I kiss her face gently before calling her to wake up.

She opens her beautiful eyes and looks at me.

She immediately smiles and reaches up to me for a hug and kiss and I oblige immediately.

She turns to the door sensing someone and her face brightens once again as she sees Sol.

Her senses are quickened...

Even half asleep.

"Good morning" she tells him softly.

"Good morning princess" he responds, making her blush.

She rubs my shoulders, planting a kiss on my neck and then she stands, walking up to Sol and standing in front of him.

I immediately press the sheets down as I feel the blood rush down.

She's completely naked, the marks snaking around her body and she looks up at Sol.

"Hands to yourself" she says.

He nods and holds his hands up.

She tilts her face up and he kisses her.

She pulls away first.

"I'm gonna shower and get ready for breakfast" she says.

He nods again.

"I'll send one of our girls to help you" he says.

His voice is thick with lust and I can tell that he's not even thinking about what he's saying.

"Thank you sugar" She smiles.

She turns away from him and goes to the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

A look passes between Sol and I.

We're both stunned.

"I'll wait downstairs" he says.

I nod, not even knowing what to say and he leaves without another word.

This girl is a piece of work.

Without a shadow doubt, she's been put on this earth to kill us both!

Sol Cortez's POV

"Sol, do I look okay?" I hear a soft voice ask.

I immediately turn to her.

^ Yejide's outfit.

Her tribal marks are all on display and she smells like coca better and expensive perfume.

"You look so good" I tell her softly.

"Thank you" she responds, hugging me.

I grab a handful of her ass and sigh contentedly.

It's so soft.

"You smell good too" I say into her ear.

She pulls away as if sensing the fact that I'm going to take a bite.

"Lead the way" she says, looking up at me.

I take her hand and I lead her to on of the smaller dining rooms we have.

I open the door for her and she gasps, making me grin.

There are assortments of different fruits, meats and cheeses as well as scrambled eggs, pancakes and different pitchers of juice and water.

I tried not to make it too much for just the two of us, but I couldn't help it.

I lead her to her seat and then I pull a chair out for her.

She sits and I grab a plate and start serving her.

I pour her a drink, serve myself and I sit down opposite her.

"Thank you" she tells me softly.

"She likes it!" Noir says excitedly.

I smile happily.

"Are you enjoying it?" I ask.

She blushes.

"It's wonderful" she says feeling shy.

I feel Noir ready to pounce and I hold him back.

Settle down. I demand.

She eats her food happily and she hums with delight, doing her little happy jiggle and I hold back my laughter.

She looks in my face and smiles, picking up a piece of fruit and eating it.

I watch her lips and I feel my heart jump when she licks her lips to stop her food from going everywhere.

"How was your night?" I ask.

Her eyes widen and then she immediately starts to blush.

"It was amazing" she admits.

My heart pounds as she looks into my eyes and I can see lust brewing as she remembers the events of the evening.

"I enjoyed meeting your family as well! Your parents are so lovely. Your sister too" she says.

I smile, happy that she likes them so much.

They love her too.

I think back to that dress she wore.

The way it hugged her body and how sexy she looked in it.

"You're a tease" I say, referring to this morning.

She nods.

"I know. I love teasing" she says.

"Yeah?" I ask.

She nods.

I stand up and walk around the table to stand over her.

"Can I kiss you properly now?" I ask.

She nods.

I grab her face gently and gently and I rub her neck, leaning down and kissing her.

She kisses me back and moans gently when I bite her lip.

I feel him start to wake up.

She pulls away.

"Let's finish breakfast" she says and I groan internally.

"Afterwards you can give me a tour" she says with a smile.

I pinch her cheek and nod.

"Anything for you" I respond.

I take my seat again and we talk and eat until we're both stuffed.

I hold out my hand for her to help her up and she takes it, nervous about cleaning up until I assure her that it will be cleaned by the many staff we have here.

We start on the promised tour and she holds my arm while we walk.

I take her through the gardens and the training grounds and the social areas and then back to the house.

She excitedly comments on everything she sees and I let her talk on, just happy that she's happy.

I try not to focus on the fact that her breasts are pressed against my arm and she smells like a dream you don't want to wake up from.

She's glowing.

I take her to my last stop of the tour, really excited for her reaction.

I open the door for her and she walks in before me.

"Sol!" She breathes and I grin from ear to ear.

Our library!

It's several floors high and filled with ancient to recent texts and the smell of leather and wood polish.

I look at her face and how her eyes shine as she looks around and my heart swells.

"She loves it!" Noir sings.

Nobody ever comes here but me, so we have the place to ourselves.

I show her my favourite books and the ones I loved as a kid and she shows me some of the ones she likes.

I turn to face her.

"Pick any book or books you want. I'll pay for it" I tell her.

Her eyes immediately snap to mine in shock.

I smile.

"We should buy her the whole thing!" Noir goads.

I love how happy he wants to make her.

Yejide approaches me and wraps her arms around me, giving me a soft kiss.

I hold her close and I nearly deepen it, but she pulls away.

She walks to the couch in my reading area

She sits down on the huge couch and crosses her legs, her bare thighs exposed, eyes on me.

She doesn't have to say a word before I walk up to her.

"This is on the other side of the house right?" She asks softly.

My heart skips.
