The Alpha's Bride-Chapter 1016: The honeymoon (2)

Damon's temper was rising as the four intruders were getting closer. He was hoping they would stop or take a turn, but that was not the case.

Since they left the Dark Howlers pack, Talia was in a good mood. She didn't think about their packs, her father disappearing, the Guardians, or anything else that would usually weigh on her adorable mind.

It reached the point where even their wolves were snoozing contently.

Damon was extra vigilant in keeping distractions away, but it seemed he was about to fail.

Pesky humans!

"Damon?" Talia called drowsily, and Damon's stomach tightened.

Damn it! Talia was awake! Someone will need to pay for this, big time!

"Shh… sleep, kitten." He rubbed her back and pressed a kiss on her forehead.

Damon was tense, which woke her up, so she had to ask, "What is going on?"

"Just some intruders. I will deal with them."

Talia was alerted. "Intruders? Here?" Weren't they on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?

Damon exhaled helplessly. "I think it's the staff."

"Did you call them?"

"No."

"Then, they are intruders."

Damon chuckled. "That's what I said. How about you go back to sleep and let me handle them?"

Talia pursed her lips. "What do you want to deal with? Those females gawking at you?"

"Who is gawking at me?"

"Don't lie to make me feel better!" Talia hissed. "Only a blind person wouldn't notice those sluts lusting over you!" She narrowed her eyes at him. "Or is that what you want? Now that I'm this fat, you are looking at oth…"

Damon swallowed the rest of Talia's words with a fiery kiss that made her forget what she was angry about.

"I didn't notice anyone gawking at me because I am looking only at you," Damon spoke against her lips and then he kissed her chin, neck, collarbones… he skipped breasts because they were covered with a bikini, and he didn't want to undress her with the intruders getting closer by the second, so he moved lower to kiss her stomach. "I won't allow anyone to say you are fat; not even you can say such nonsense." He hugged her belly. "You are carrying my child. You are beautiful, pregnant, and the most attractive female in this realm and beyond. No one can compare to you, kitten."

Damon loved that she was pregnant! That bulge proved he was a real man; his seed was growing inside her. A bonus was that Talia was super-horny, and due to the weight of her stomach, they tried all kinds of poses; his favorite pose of taking her from the back was always an option. How Damon saw this, it was full of wins. Why was Talia talking like she was not attractive?

Talia's hostility sizzled away, and she caressed his raven-black hair. "I know. Sorry. I didn't mean that you would betray our bond. It's the hormones and pregnancy and…"

"It's OK," Damon said as he moved back up until their noses aligned. "If you are angry, be angry. If you are happy, be happy. Whatever you feel, let it out. I won't judge. But don't assume I will ever look at any woman other than you. You are my everything, and my life makes no sense without you in it. You should know that much. Don't allow anyone or anything to spoil your confidence. You are perfect, fantastic, my only one…"

Talia melted from the warm and fuzzy emotions she shared with Damon. He was a sweet talker.

The last three weeks were amazing! They accomplished many things because Talia teleported them everywhere, and they didn't waste time on travel.

No matter where they were or what they did, Damon and Talia were always in touching distance, and it was the happiest period of their lives, so far.

Talia loved visiting new places, cuddles, and sex, and how he looked at her with passion and love, making her burn in need of him.

When Talia lay down, it was not very visible, but when she stood up, her belly bulged out. It was because Talia was using energies that caused rapid development of the child in her belly. She knew that Guardian babies developed differently, and the pregnancy progress was based on the purity and amount of energy.

Talia was brimming with power, and Damon's energies were compatible with hers, boosting the development of their child whenever Damon used his abilities near Talia.

Other than teleportation, Talia's and Damon's powers flared uncontrollably during sex, so it was no wonder that Talia looked like she was about to blow anytime.

They felt the baby move numerous times, and they were always excited, like it was the first time.

Talia wondered how their lives would change after the baby came.

What about their sex life? Will they need to hold back their urges? Doing the naughty with the baby in the room didn't sound right. Should they sneak around? Hiding with Damon to get frisky created various mental images in Talia's mind. Closet? Bathroom? Storage? Talia could teleport them into their cave and back after they get sated. The problem was that Damon and Talia had big appetites, and it could take a while.

Damon's nostrils flared when he picked up the scent of Talia's arousal. It was his favorite scent.

"What are you thinking, kitten?" He always wanted to know what turned her on.

Talia smiled and leaned her forehead on Damon's.

Damon's eyebrows shot up when mental images of him and Talia flashed in his mind. Various places, dark and cramped, and the two of them naked. He had no objections.

Damon inched closer to claim her lips, and then he cursed under his breath. The intruders were less than a minute away.

"Let me deal with the pesky humans, kitten. Rest."

Talia had no intention of letting him do anything on his own. "I'm coming with you. If they are females, they are mine."

Damon's only option was to compromise. "Alright. I will handle the guys."

…

Nadia and Alice led the way toward their target villa, with Brad and Gabriel following closely.

The whole island was landscaped to look like a well-maintained park filled with tropical foliage. Pebble-covered paths snaked between palm trees, ponds, and colorful bushes filled with fragrant blooms.

Two females stopped behind one large bush to hide while eyeing the beach. There were no people in the cabana, nor on the sand, nor in the water.

Alice pouted. "They are not here."

"Good," Gabriel said. "We came, didn't see them, now let's head back."

"Back?" Nadia asked and pointed at the white building peeking between the palm trees. "What if they are inside the villa and need our assistance?"

"What if they are inside and having sex?" Brad snapped.

"We will be quiet," Alice said. "If we hear suspicious sounds, we will sneak out without them noticing."

Nadia grinned. "It will depend on the sounds. What if we need to investigate further?"

Alice snickered. "Do you think they will let us join them?"

Gabriel groaned. "You will get us fired."

"Getting fired is the least of your problems," a stern voice came from above, and four people raised their gazes to see Damon standing high on the palm tree, and they took a double-take at the scene in front of them. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

Damon held onto the trunk of the palm tree, and it wouldn't be strange if not for very pregnant Talia sitting on his shoulders in a circus-like manner.

Damon slid down the tree and bent for Talia to step on the ground.

"Careful," Damon said while supporting Talia, who was wobbly on her feet. The weight of her belly was throwing her off balance.

"I'm OK," Talia assured Damon and turned toward four intruders. "Why are you here? Can't you follow simple instructions not to disturb us?"

Nadia fidgeted nervously. "You didn't call our service since yesterday, and we were worried."

"Why didn't you use a phone to check on us?" Talia asked.

"We didn't want to risk waking you up, in case you are sleeping," Alice said. She had a story ready. "We only wanted to ensure that you are alright."

Talia sneered. "Really? And what if we were inside, having sex? What was that about joining us?"

Alice and Nadia exchanged nervous glances. Did they hear that? But… Talia didn't seem very upset. Maybe joining them was an option. Rich people had all kinds of kinks.

Before Alice or Nadia could run their mouths and get them in more trouble, Brad stepped forward.

"We apologize. They were talking nonsense. If you were intimate, we would leave without traces."

"Without traces?" Damon asked. Since a guy was talking, it was his turn to handle it. That was the deal. "You obviously left traces if we caught you sneaking on us. It is your luck you didn't see my wife exposed, or I would gauge your eyes out. But even with that, what you did was a big offense. How should we deal with you?"

Alice was so nervous that she was blinking rapidly. Did the guy say something about removing their eyes? "Why are you acting like it's a big deal? We are all grownups, and we know what sex is. If you did something, we would pretend we didn't see anything."

Talia shook her head. "You should realize that there are secrets bigger than a naked body. When someone wants privacy, there is a reason for it."

Four people gaped at the sight of Talia's glowing silver eyes, and her hair was changing color. What the heck?

Talia's abilities would flare at the slightest provocation. The more her pregnancy progressed, the easier her abilities would surface.

Talia walked toward four humans in slow motion while talking menacingly.

"If people want privacy, there is a reason for…"

Talia's words stopped halfway, and she clutched her stomach.

"Damon… the baby…"
