The Prince’s Unwilling mate

147 Griffin

Since I still hadn’t gotten a text from Ayla asking where I was, by the time I brought her family to our chambers. So I had just assumed she was still sleeping. What I did not expect was to find her at her breakfast table, hair tied up in a messy bun. Only wearing her panties and my black T–shirt. Because again it did things to my body it should not do. Not with Ayla still having to recover from all she has been through. I was scared to death to give her the idea her body was the only thing I was interested in.

Nor did I want her to feel pressured to make love to me, or to complete the mating process even if it constantly was on my mind. Her walking out of the bathroom in tight leggings that looked like someone seived leather around her figure to make it perfectly with only one of my white dress shirts. Did not make it any easier on me, but I didn’t want to let it go to my head. Most likely she just didn’t have anything to wear., Taking one of my shirts out of my closet just to be warm and comfortable. But I had missed her in every aspect of life, and I even know it is natural for mates to feel this drawn to each other. Especially since we haven’t completed the mating process yet.

It was another urge I had to control, maybe I should go and talk to my dad about this. It wouldn’t be the first time not even in my relationship with Ayla where I asked him for advice. On the other hand there was a possibility he could not help me since he had never been through. something like this. I know he has been telling me to focus more on my

work.

He had been so understanding about me not getting anything done while I was looking for Ayla. And then when I didn’t want to leave her bedside because she was in a coma for weeks. Yesterday he had told me that he was glad I started to get back to work. Reminding–me that as royalty we were never excused from our jobs. And that in the Ayla and I needed to get the work done together as a team. Meaning that wherever I slacked off no matter how understandable it might be. In the end Ayla would end up having to work harder to make up for lost time.

That didn’t fit the future Ayla and I had planned out together. We had promised each other to work extra hard during the weekdays so that we could have our weekends off. The cup of coffee I would make here in bed, every morning, and the weekends would be to be quality time together. Just the two of us now, and back then we had soon hoped to have a little family to spend our weekends with. There were some delays now, but to me, that was still the future I wanted. The future we wanted together, so Dad’s words triggered something in me. An urge to work harder, and do more, so that Ayla would not have to work harder on my

account.

It was the one thing I felt like I could hold on to. The only thing I felt like I could do was to make sure our future could go on as planned. To make sure none of this messed with our future. Because it was the only thing I could control. I could not control how soon we would find David, nor could I control when the trial for Hannah would be held. A trial where Ayla would have to be the key witness, yet another thing I had to tell her about. A thing that scared me because I had no idea how that would affect Ayla’s healing process. My mate being so weak and hurt both mentally and physically was yet another thing I could not

control or speed up.

Hell, I could not even control my own body, stop it from acting like a hormonal teenager whenever I saw Ayla do or wear anything remotely sexy. And there was a whole lot she could do or wear that I considered sexy. Work and how much work I got done, how hard I worked. How much work there would be left for Ayla to pick up when she got back to it was the only thing I could control. And judging from the massive to- do list Ayla had written it wouldn’t be long before she would want to go back to working.

It was only when I saw setting up an office that I was reminded of the fact that I had made her, an office. I hoped she liked it, and that maybe it was already taking some of the load of her. As I knew myself it wasn’t easy to put together an office. Making all the choices, and keeping an eye out for the contractors‘ work.

Tonight I would also help her with making a list of people I think are a good fit for her to have as her Gemma. For now, I wanted to show her the office I made her. And then have her get back to her family so that they can help her unpack everything.

Today had been torturous, I was sure she didn’t do it on purpose. Ayla isn’t a tease and she knows her body isn’t ready to do much more than kissing yet. But I lost count of how many times she had to raise her arms. to get something. Pulling my shirt up so high that it no longer covered.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

her perfectly round ass. She seemed to crave my touch to be around me, which was normal seeing as we had been apart for so long. I felt the same towards her, but she brushed up on me so many times. Her hand just barely touching spots that made me lose the ability to think clearly and now feeling this hot and bothered I had to go to the airport to pick up her pregnant Sister and brother–in–law. So I had to hop to take a cold shower just to make sure I was somewhat presentable when I went to pick them up. And hopefully, wash the smell of my near–constant arousal off of me.

I wasn’t looking forward to picking up Kate and Tim but it ended up being a good thing. Being away from Ayla for a little bit when I knew without a shadow of a doubt that she was safe helped me. It gave me a bit of a breather from all the conflicting feelings I had.

But when I walked into our living room where Ayla had spent the last hours unpacking her books and pointing out where they needed to go.. Since she had become too tired to do it herself. I did not get the reaction I expected. She got up and hugged Kate and Tim telling them how happy she was to see the two of them. She then excused herself right away and fled to the bedroom where we could all hear her cry. With no idea to what made her this sad I decided I should just go and find out what happened, so I could be there for her.
