Chapter 78 - The Penthouse
Chapter 78 - The Penthouse
There were two elevators in the parking garage. One had buttons while the other didn't. Daryn took his wallet out and swiped the card in the place where there should have been buttons. The doors opened and the trio stepped inside. He pressed the only button that was present there and the doors of the elevator closed. Cole looked at the number displayed and found that they had stopped on the twenty-first floor. Daryn took another card out and swiped it near the button panel. The door parted and once again he put his hand on her back to lead her outside. They stepped in an aisle where Dawn noticed five more security personnel. "That's a lot of security," she pointed.
Daryn didn't say anything because he had arranged it for her.
The men around him became active. They ran ahead of him as they watched Dawn with interest. They had been instructed to protect her with their lives and they were trained assassins of the purebloods. However, they were not supposed to tell it to the person they had to protect.
Daryn punched in the password and the door of his penthouse opened. When they walked in, Dawn found herself in his foyer. There were glass windows all around overlooking a lush green park that was located in the heart of the city.
"How many rooms do you have?" asked Cole, hoping to get his own room. The place looked huge.
"Don't worry, you will have one room for yourself," Daryn couldn't help chuckling. He liked the little guy.
Cole nodded. He held Dawn's hand, pulled her ahead of Daryn and whispered in her ear, "Don't tell him that you are a werewolf. He will think you are crazy."
Daryn shook his head and walked past them.
"He is a werewolf too," Dawn answered Cole's concerns.
Cole's mouth fell open as his mind became numb. He didn't know that so many werewolves existed around him. He stared at Daryn who had gone to light the fireplace. They were now standing in his elegant living room. There was a thick brown carpet in the center with cozy looking sofas that were covered with white plush fabric. Tall lamps were on each side of the sofas and a large chandelier hung in the corner of the room that had strings of bulbs touching the wooden floor. The setting of the entire house was modern and not a single thing was out of place.

"My room is up there," he pointed to a spiral glass staircase on the left. "And those are the guest rooms," he said, indicating towards a line of four rooms. He walked to the room that was right below his own and opened its door. "You can stay here, Dawn," he said.
"Thanks," she said politely.
"Cole, you can stay in that room," Daryn pointed at the last room.
Cole frowned and crossed his arms across his chest. "No, I am going to live right next to Dawn's."
Daryn tilted his head and nodded. "Okay, but there is an Xbox and a very high resolution screen, along with Sony Home Theater and a projector installed on the ceiling. The room has sound-proof walls."
Cole's eyes once again became as large as the football field in his school. His face reddened thinking about how he declared to stay next to Dawn's room. "That is going to be the best gaming experience," he blurted.
Daryn shrugged. "It's okay if you want to stay next to Dawn's room, but it is a small one." He began to walk inside the room.
The brother changed his opinion. "I would like to check the two rooms and then decide."
"Of course," Daryn said. "If I were you, I would do the same because it's an out of the world experience. I have played there a number of times."
Cole started to walk backwards. He bit his lip and then looked at his sister who was staring at him. "Sis, I'll be right back," he declared and rushed to his destination.
The brother was trapped tactfully, smartly and politely. An evil smile played on Daryn's lips. He walked to his love interest, held her waist and took her inside her room. He sniffed her hair and restrained himself from planting a kiss there.
Dawn looked around. The room was simple with a small bed in the corner. A table with a shelf was installed in the opposite wall and a cupboard was installed right next to her bed. "Thanks Daryn," she said. "I will always remain highly indebted to you."
He wanted to say that this was all hers. She wanted to say that she would have loved to stay forever with him. But none of them spoke. The silence conveyed a lot.
"You don't have to be. We have made a deal."
She smiled. "I won't attend the office for a few days. There is something very important that I have to do."
"Sure," he said. This was even better. He would have her to himself. His to cherish. "The kitchen is on the left. You can prepare whatever you like. If you like, I can get a dedicated chef for you."
Dawn laughed and walked to her bed. "No, I can make food."
"Great! In that case, you have to make for me too because I plan on staying here tonight," he said, staring at her wondering if she would protest.
"Sure," she answered. A pale blush spread on her cheeks.
Why was she so adorable? His wolf pumped a fist in the air.
"Okay."
"That's the bathroom," he said, throwing his chin to the right.
She needed a hot bath. Her butt cheeks were sore with all the spanking. She clenched them as she remembered it. They hurt all the time while she was sitting with him, yet she would have loved getting spanked more by him. What the hell was she even thinking? "Okay."
"I am upstairs if you need me. You can get in the shower to warm up. There are some of my t-shirts hanging in that cupboard." Seeing her in his t-shirt was his fantasy. He didn't want to leave but he combed his hair with his fingers and walked out slowly.
Dawn ambled towards the bathroom once he closed the door behind him. It was a beautiful marble floored bathroom with every amenity that she could think of. There were strings of lotions, shampoos and oils stacked in neat rows. Bunch of fluffy peach towels were kept in a wooden cabinet. She removed her clothes, dropped them on the floor and walked inside the shower. She pulled the curtain and opened the faucet. As the hot water fell on her face and her body, she let out a low purring sound in her throat.
Daryn was standing outside the closed door. He heard her purr and bit back his groan. It took all his self-control to walk away from there.
Under the shower, as the hot water fell on her sore butts, a burning sensation passed through her body. She caressed them slowly, arching her back slightly. When she finished, she picked a fluffy towel, dried up a little and wrapped it around her. When she stepped out, her clothes were gone. Did he enter the bathroom when she was taking a shower? A wave of embarrassment passed through her. After drying off, she pulled on his t-shirt, which fell to her mid-thigh. His smell filled her and she felt calm. She came out of her bedroom and noticed him talking to her brother in the living room.
He paused to look at her over his shoulder. Wet hair, pink cheeks, his shirt and her sexy legs – they all made his wolf clamor inside. He loved everything. This was one of the best days of his life, and he was going to make sure that things continued like this. Yes, he did watch her silhouette when she took a bath – correction – his wolf watched her.
Cole saw Dawn and ran to her excitedly and said in a breathy tone, "I am so going to stay in that room."
Suddenly a ring disturbed the ambience. It was a call on Daryn's phone. He looked at the number and his jaw pressed hard. "Excuse me," he said and walked out of the living room to the foyer to pick the call. "What is it?" he asked in a harsh tone.
"Baby, why haven't you come home? My father is waiting for you. Pia and your father are also here," came Maya's honeyed voice.
