Chapter 65
Alfreds POV
After meeting with Reggie, I then went to look for Vanessa. The first place I looked was in our room. She was not there, but her wet swimsuit was hanging on a hook in the bathroom. She had gone swimming without me. Who was with her? I then found Stacey coming out of her room. She was drying her hair. That told me she must have been in the pool with Vanessa.

‘Did you have a nice swim?”
Yes, I did, and Vanessa enjoyed being in the water and practicing floating.”
I was correct, which was a relief. Her safety would always be a concern for me. Especially when I’m not with her. After everything that she has been through the last few days, I did not want anything more to happen to her.
“1
”
Do you know where she went?”
She was in your room.”
She’s not there.”
Stacey’s face turned white like a ghost. She immediately dropped her towel and began searching for Vanessa. I started to panic. I picked up my pace, looking for her. Going from room to room searching for her. I then went to the kitchen and I heard her sweet voice. I was relieved to hear her voice. She was with Mac. It sounded like they were having a good time. A twinge of jealousy came over me. With Vanessa, I knew she was faithful, but not every male is. I opened the kitchen door and walked in.
“What’s going on here?”
I asked after walking up to her and kissing her deeply. That was because of jealousy. I knew Mac would not try anything. He was happy with his life and his mate.

‘I helped make dinner.”
When she said that she helped make dinner, I was shocked. I had forgotten that she had done several things while in her pack. Even though she was forced to do those things, she
seemed to enjoy cooking. After kissing her and stepping back, I looked at her. When I first entered the kitchen, I was so focused on her safety and my own jealousy that I didn’t even
look at her.
She has on a blue sweatsuit. It is covered in flour. It looked like she had tried to dust flour
off her breast, and there was a faint outline of hands on it. I knew it was her hands because of their small size. Then, on her thighs, there is some more flour as well. She looked incredibly sexy standing there like that. I was having a hard time controlling myself. I wanted to pull her pants down and bend her over and just fuck her right there. It took everything I had not to throw her over my shoulder and drag her to the bedroom. I’m going to make love to her later this evening.
I then kissed her again and left the kitchen. II was in my office when there was a knock on the door.
Who is it?”
Your mother.”

Come in.”
“I wanted to see how you have been doing since yesterday.”
“I’m fine, mother.”
”
As long as you are doing OK.”
She could tell I was tired. I have not had a good night’s sleep in a few days. I felt as if I was running on sugar and caffeine. But that is what my life is about. My life has improved with every passing day since Vanessa entered my life. It has definitely kept me busy. We then left the office and went to the dining hall for dinner. Vanessa had gone and changed. She was wearing a blue dress. It had long sleeves and fell to her knees. It looked stunning on her. It really brought out her eyes. The dress fit snugly around all the curves that it was meant to. After staring at her and drooling. I cleared my throat and looked at the table.
There was a lot of food in it. Which makes sense because we are in the main dining hall. I could not wait to eat tonight’s dinner. Mainly because Vanessa helped make it. It all looked delicious. My mouth was watering now in anticipation of the taste of the food. I don’t know what it is about when your woman makes dinner for you that makes it seem
even tastier. I was waiting patiently as she sat down. I then made myself a huge plate of food. She made herself a decent–sized plate for the first time.
As I put the first bite of food in my mouth, I savored the taste. It was amazing. The meat was even more tender than usual. I was astounded that she could cook this well.
Little one, I did not know you could cook like this.”

She smiled from ear to ear at the compliment. That would come in handy for when we
take our little honeymoon. As I eagerly waited for her to finish eating, I had plans for the evening with her. She finally finished eating, and I got up and gently pulled her out of her
chair.
Let’s go for a walk.”
The look on her face was that of understanding. We had bodyguards with us, but I knew they could make themselves scarce for a little bit at my command. We walked over to a group of trees, and I knew in the middle there was a clearing. I had already planned on taking her there and watching the stars. I had already had a blanket put there and laid out. I also had some pillows put there as well. With all the chaos going on, we needed some alone time. As much as I want to make love to her, I will be patient with her. She had been through an ordeal the other day.
I will let her make the first move regarding whether we make love tonight or not. When we went to the blanket, she kicked her shoes off and acted like a kid. She lay down on the blanket and stretched out. She was as giddy as a child. I then kicked my shoe off and lay next to her. She cuddled up next to me and put her head on my chest. We lay under the stars, and I gently stroked her arm. She let out a sigh, and soon her breath was coming steadily. When I looked down, her eyes were closed. She had fallen asleep. I did not mind. She looked amazing lying on my chest, gazing up at the moon.
She looked so peaceful that I hated to disturb her. It was getting colder, and we needed to get back to the house. The nights were growing colder, and the days were growing shorter. I gently shook her, and she did not respond. I then decided to carry her back to the house. I gently picked her up and carried her back to the house. When my mother saw us walk into the house, she looked concerned until I assured her that there was nothing wrong with Vanessa. She let out a sigh of relief. I then carried Vaneesa to bed. Making love could always wait.
