Rain pov.
I stare at my little human from the doorway of her office, wondering how she can come home and still have energy to work. She teased me all through dinner, choosing to sit next to me so she could torture me better. Running her hand through my hair, reaching over me to get something I could have easily handed to her. She down right put her hand on my lap and rubbed me through my pants, giving me a wink when I growled. With her so close to me I was almost drooling at how good she smelt. Then she leaves me and comes into her office, sitting here like she's not the cause of the burning in my loins.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"Yes, Rain?" I wait until she's looking at me, so I know she's focused on me.
"I need to ask you something." She nods and I'm just about to open my mouth when the doorbell rings. I sigh and step away from her office, making my way to the front door where a man with a lot of packages is standing.
"Delivery for Morgan Cane." The bored looking teenager mutters, handing me over the tablet even though I'm not Morgan. I turn around, willing to take it to her, but she's already standing behind me, so she takes the device and signs her name. "Cool, you got this, don't you?" The guy mutters, taking the tablet from me and then walking away without me agreeing. I look at the large boxes he left and then back at Morgan.
"They're late." Is all she huffs before picking up the smallest box and walking inside. I pick up the big box and go back for the other one while Morgan is already opening up her packages. When I get back into the kitchen, she's starting to unpack what look like protein bars and when I pick up one, I notice it's made for wolves.
"What's this?" I read through the ingredients and frown.
"Supplements. You apparently need them to stay alive in the Bio-Glaze. Oh, I got you something." She disappears into her office before coming back with a watch, much like the one she's wearing. She clips it onto my left wrist and when she does the band around my ankle unlocks. She picks it up and throws it in the trash. "You'll use this for identification from now on and to communicate with me if you need to." The band is much more comfortable than the one that's been around my ankle. Much thinner too.
"I want to get a job." I blurt out what I've been thinking about all day. Morgan raises an eyebrow at me, obviously wanting me to explain. "I feel like I'm suffocating here. All I do is cook and clean and then do it all over again. You're not here and..." I trail of, wondering if I could tell her about River.
"And?" She prompts me and I sigh.
"I need to support my sister." Her eyes widen.
"You have a sister? Why was it not in your file?" Lucky for me she doesn't look angry, just confused.
"She lives on Teranian exclusively. I send her coins. That's why I need to work. It's why I ended up at the training grounds." She frowns at the mention of the training grounds.
"You're not going back there." I nod, remembering Benna's words. Morgan might not be sacred of Mr. Hutting but I sure as hell don't want to end up working for him again. "Fuck, Rain." She runs a hand through her hair. "Can't I just give you the coins?" I growl before I can stop myself, my body growing tense.
"No." She doesn't flinch at my harsh tone, just gives me a blank stare and nods.
"Fine. Your only other option is the Red-Light District, but I swear, Rain. If you so much as touch another human, being or machine I will end your life. I don't share what's mine." I smile at her words, but she huffs, ripping open a box that contains smaller packages with powder in. I read the preparation instructions over her shoulders and frown. "Wanna try?" I shrug my shoulders, and she huffs, taking a glass and emptying the pale blue contents in it before adding a cup of water and stirring it. She hands it to me, and I take a small sip, almost gagging at the chalky taste.
"I'm not drinking that." I hand her back the glass. "I'd rather die than drink that." She slaps my chest, and I give her a silly grin. "It's horrible."
"So, lets fix it." She takes out a tray of mixed berries from the fridge, roughly chops a banana and adds it to the blender with the drink and some yogurt. The drink goes from blue to a light purple and I eye it, wondering if the fruit is really going to make it taste all that good. "Try it." She says, having poured out a little in a new glass. I take a hesitant sip, finding it surprisingly better.
"For how long do I need to drink this?" She reads the box again before informing me it's a package a day. "No, I mean, all of this?" I ask, pointing to the boxes.
"For as long as you're in the Bio-Glaze apparently. I'm not having you die because I didn't take care of you properly." She huffs, pouring the rest of the drink in a bigger cup and cleaning the mess she made while I finish the drink. "Morgan." She hums, taking out another package from the box and reading the label. "Thank you." When she looks at me, I can't help but lean closer and place a soft kiss on her lips. She grabs my shirt when I pull back, placing a firmer kiss on my lips, pushing her body closer to mine. I carefully move my lips over hers, allowing her to slip her tongue into my mouth and growling in deep satisfaction at her taste. Her hands slip into my hair, and I lift her up, so she curls her legs around my waist, and we stand there, kissing each other until we're out of breath.
"That was one hell of a thank you." She whispers when we finally come up for air, resting her head against mine. I chuckle and move to set her down on her feet, but she clings to me tighter, so I lean against the counter and allow her to. There's softness in her eyes, the brown eyes molten chocolate as she relaxes in my arms. When she rests her head against my shoulder I finally move and carry her to bed, tucking her in and ultimately staying when she refuses to let go of my hand.
