Medrielle felt like such a child. She couldn't believe she had been daydreaming Alpha Prince that she didn't notice he was trying to shoo a bee away. Gage noticed Medrielle's cheeks were really red. Was she afraid of the bee or was it something else? She had spaced out a few times as if thinking of something or someone else. He got unnerved as he wondered if she was thinking of Brock. He was going to find out. "So, Medrielle, I wanted to talk to you about last night.. I wasn't quite sure if you knew how to disarm the alarm system and didn't want the girls to wake up if it went off, so I got up to check it and then decided it was best to wait until you got back to arm it again. You got back pretty late, so you and Brock must have had a pretty good time, "he said, ending with a huff. He was staring at the girls, and she couldn't see his face or eyes to get a good read on him. She thought it was odd that he used the alarm as an excuse. She had been staying in his home for two weeks now, and there wouldn't be a reason she didn't know how to work the alarm system as she used it daily. "We did have a really good time, so much so I hadn't even noticed how late it was when he dropped me off." She looked over at him as he looked down and aggressively pulled out some grass and threw it to the side. She was sure he was still a little upset about the whole situation. "I'm sorry again, Alpha Prince, that it was so late and kept you up, but to ease your mind I can let you know I do know how to work the alarm system so next time you don't have to worry about me waking the girls", she said. Lily and Daisy ran over because they wanted a drink. Gage decided it was a good time for them to have lunch and then could get back to playing once they were done. He passed out the food to everyone, and they all sat in silence while they enjoyed their meal under the trees. The slight breeze and chirping of the birds was enough for them all to enjoy their surroundings that nobody felt the need to talk. The girls finished their lunch, got up, and ran back to the playground. Gage yelled out to them that they would be leaving in a while. He looked and noticed that Medrielle had already picked everything up and packed it all away in the basket. He thanked her as he moved around to get a little more comfortable. He decided to lie on his side and placed his hand under his head, using his elbow to prop himself up. He studied Medrielle's face as she watched the kids on the playground. She was a beauty. Her skin looked so soft that he wanted to reach out and touch her cheeks. He looked at her lush red lips and wondered what it would be like to taste and feel them against his. The breeze kicked up and washed her already intense scent into his nostrils. Vanilla, coconut and jasmine swirled around his senses, it soothed him and also brought out a feeling of longing, a longing to hold her close in his arms and put his nose in the crook of her neck to inhale her sweet scent even more. He felt himself start to grow in his shorts, so he quickly sat up. Gage looked at his watch. It was getting close to the girls' naptime and decided it was time to go. He called out to them to let them know they had to leave now. He and Medrielle folded the blanket as he tucked it under his arm. The walk back was silent, and when they were halfway to the pack house, Medrielle tripped on a rock. She yelled out but caught herself before hitting the ground, but in the process, she twisted the same ankle she had injured last night. She couldn't understand how she had turned into such a klutz, what an impression she was making on the Alpha. She was sure he thought she was an accident-prone oaf. She was so embarrassed. Gage walked over to Medrille as she was bent over holding her ankle. He asked if she was OK, and she responded that she was, so they started to walk again. She yelled out and pulled her ankle up off the ground, leaned down, and rubbed her ankle again. It was obvious that she wouldn't be able to walk back to the pack house on her own. Gage walked over to her side and leaned into her so she could use him as a crutch. He put his arm around her shoulders, and she leaned against his body. He felt tingles, and her warm body against his felt so good. Their progress was really slow, and at this rate, it would take them an hour to reach home. He bent down and picked her up into his arms bridal style. At first, she protested, but he quieted her by telling her it was the quickest and easiest way to get them home so the girls could take their nap. The girls squealed and laughed. They enjoyed watching their daddy carry Medrielle in his arms. They ran around him and made up a little song, "daddy's carrying Medrielle, daddy's carrying Medrielle like she is his bride"! They did this song a few times before Gage told them it was enough, and they should be worried about Medrielle's ankle and not their song. They hung their little heads in embarrassment and apologized. They all walked in silence from then on. Medrielle felt prickling over her entire body. She could feel his large muscles through his shirt and smell his wonderful scent mixed with his cologne. Her head was on his chest, and she listened to his heartbeat. It was fast. She wondered if it always beat this fast. She was embarrassed and prayed nobody would see him carrying her. Her arms were around his neck, and she could feel it getting hotter and hotter. She looked at his brow and saw beads of sweat start to form. When she looked up at him, he looked down at her, and she felt unsettled, but at the same time, she felt like she never wanted him to let her go. "I'm so sorry about this, Alpha Prince." "Don't worry about it, Medrielle. Stuff like this happens in life all the time. I'm not sure it happens from one night to the next day. He teased her,"I mean, didn't we do this just last night?" He felt her try to hide her head in his armpit, which made him laugh out loud. He tried not to focus on her soft body against his and the hardness in his shorts. They made it to the pack house and to the elevators without anyone spotting their predicament. Medrielle let out a loud sigh as they entered the elevator to the fifth floor. As the doors opened, she moaned very loudly when she saw Beta Jason standing there. "Well, I can see you two are getting along really well. Did you run off and get married already? " he asked, with a huge smile of amusement on his face. "Quiet moron," Alpha said as he took a step out of the elevator and around Jason. "She twisted her ankle on the way home jerk, stop teasing her. She's already embarrassed enough. " "Touchy, touchy Alpha, you don't have to get so upset, I was just joking," Beta said. "I'll come back when you're in a better mood, although if holding a beautiful woman like Medrielle in your arms doesn't put a smile on your face, I think that means you are hopeless and nothing could make you happy". The elevator doors closed, and Beta Jason was gone. Gage entered the door to the penthouse, laid Medrille on the couch, and told her to hang tight he'd be back soon. He put the girls to bed for their nap and went into the kitchen. He got the icepack, some aspirin, a glass of water, a small towel, and went over to where Medrielle was lying. He gave her the aspirin and glass, picked up her legs, and gently laid them on his lap, then he placed the icepack on her wounded ankle. "Alpha Prince," said Medrielle, "You have done more than enough. You really don't have to do this." He could tell she was uncomfortable, but he just couldn't bring himself to stop touching her. She was like a drug he just had to have. "Get some rest", Medrielle, he said as he rubbed the icepack on her ankle without looking up at her.
