Filed To Story: Goddess's Design His Fated Mate (Willow & Reuben)
I caressed her cheek and drew closer to her lips for a kiss, “But there will never be a day that I don’t return to you, Willow. Reuben has nowhere else to go other than his Willow. so I may be late but I will always return.”
She closed her eyes and smiled between our kisses, “Then always keep your promise because I will always keep waiting for you ”
Willow
In the morning, as soon as my alarm went off, I rolled over on the bed only to find Reuben was gone. His scent had almost faded from the bed. I quickly freshened up and headed downstairs to prepare some food. The kindergarten was taking the children on a small field trip and I had to prepare delicious tiffins for my babies. I had already decided on the menu in my mind, I was thinking about it as I entered the kitchen as I witnessed a small and a large figure wearing aprons standing next to each other looking so adorable.
“What are you up to in here?”
I walked in puzzled. The children were all dressed for kindergarten and a delicious aroma had taken over the kitchen.
All of their eyes focused on me, “Daddy is preparing a surprise breakfast for mummy and we are helping daddy!”
Wyatt and Lori chirped together then each grabbed one of my hands and led me inside.
“Surprise breakfast?”
I blinked in shock and glazed at Reuben who looked sexy as hell, standing by the kitchen counter wearing only an apron over his 8 pack abs that did nothing to conceal his strong arms.
“Did you sleep well?”
He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into a kiss.
My eyes widened and I was frozen under his kiss for a moment before my ears turned red and I broke the kiss in alarm, “What are you doing? The kids are watching!”
I whispered, my face flushed in shyness.
“So what? I am kissing my mate,”
he pulled me closer to the point both of our bodies touched.
“You ”
I slapped his hand for being bold then glanced at Wyatt and Lori who obviously were not used to seeing me and Reuben like this, however I found both of them climbing up on their chairs in the dining room with their short little legs. Like little adults they served themselves juice without bothering to look at us.
“Mommy, please don’t mind us,”
Lori stated.
“Yeah, don’t feel shy. It’s your mate and our daddy,”
Wyatt added.
I was taken aback by their very adult remarks! How come their innocent little minds think such things? I looked at Reuben to find him smiling.
“The kids know that their daddy loves their mommy,”
he lowered his lips to kiss me again. My face grew hot as a small smile appeared on my lips. Forgetting about everything, I kissed him back accepting this new life with Reuben where our children were with us.
“Willow, are you still uncomfortable?”
he asked between kisses, his voice only audible to me.
“Uncomfortable?”
I broke the kiss, looking at him puzzled but my lips remained an inch away from his.
Suddenly his hand slid down to my ass where he gave it a squeeze. “This time I refuse to stop before I’ve gotten two rounds out of you,”
he mind-linked me, playfully biting his lip.
My face turned red and my heartbeat quickened understanding his intentions. Last night I had fallen asleep due to tiredness right after we ate dinner together so he could not make his move on me even though he had managed to move me into his bedroom.
“You did not answer me, Willow,”
he gave me another squeeze that was not visible to children at all and planted another kiss on my lips, “Tonight will be too long for us to wait,”
he whispered.
“I I have to make tiffins for the children’s field trip!”
I pulled away from him quickly and turned to the counter to hide my hot blushing cheeks and to avoid those shiny eyes that were boring a hole in my face. Shit! If I blushed then it would only encourage him!
“Don’t worry about it. I have already prepared tiffins for the kids,”
Reuben came beside me and passed me a bowl of the delicious traditional breakfast sitting on the kitchen counter.
“You know how to cook?”
I blinked as we walked to the dining table with bowls in our hands. For as long as I had known Reuben, he had only known how to boil eggs and make coffee.
“I learnt a few things over the years,”
he replied, pulling a chair out for me.
“Why? Don’t you hate cooking?”
I asked, watching him sit beside me.
“More like I hated to eat food that was not made by you. So I learnt,”
he replied, serving me french toast. My heart hurt when I noticed the pain buried deep in his eyes, “Without you, swallowing even a nibble was torture,”
my eyes stuck on his lowered head as he kept serving me, “But I could not stop swallowing. I kept on living shamelessly. I kept waiting shamelessly. I..
I held his hand while he placed food on my plate and made him look at me. His eyes were full of pain but love as well. “Thank you for being shameless,”
I cupped his cheek and placed a soft kiss on his lips. “Thank you for not giving up on me.”
He smiled and pulled me into a hug. I hugged him back, my eyes watered no matter how much I tried to hold it in. Never over the past six years, had I ever thought that Reuben was in the same pain as me.
He pulled away and we both smiled at our children that were admiring us.
“Let’s eat. Aunt Mia will be here soon to pick you two up,”
I smiled as we all happily finished our food and while childern were away, I slowly told Reuben everything about rogues.
“They called you rose? Dark’s Rose?”
Reuben frowned.
