The Red Diamond Dragon

Let Me Spoil You

Johnathan

I watched as she drifted off into thought, I could feel her emotions already even without being marked. They came in waves, and it felt like there was a door only giving me glimpses of the full bond. Madeline stated she was wolf less, but I have a strong feeling she has something blocking her, and I don’t think she is a completely a wolf or possibly even a wolf at all…. It would make sense. Her full figure is more of a bear or dragon shifter.

I could tell her lack of confidence was holding her back from her jewelry designs. I also noticed that when talking, she wasn’t focused on her food and was finally taking full bites, eating a healthy amount. I tried to keep her focused on talking, and once she finished her food, I poured her a second glass of wine, hoping it would help her relax.

“I hope you don’t mind going shopping tomorrow. The girls really loved you, and I can’t wait to spoil you.” I told her, carefully watching her reaction.

“I…I appreciate they invited me, but I don’t have any money with me and….” She stared at the ground again. She had a habit of that.

“Madeline look at me” She looked up finally, I noticed her soft brown eyes were a little brighter after having a full meal. “I want to spoil you, which means you will not be using any of your money. Please allow me to buy you some things, starting with a dress for the Full Moon Ball. You are far too beautiful to be hiding those fantastic curves in that dress you brought. I fully intend to show you off at the ball.” I said, holding her gaze.

“Sir, I don’t think….” She started but didn’t get a chance to finish before I had her pulled straddled onto my lap. She gasped in surprise while I slid my hands from her hips to her waist. She had a perfect hourglass figure hiding under these shapeless clothes. I leaned in, kissing her neck softly, listening to her breathing catch and feeling her body naturally arch into mine. I carefully leaned in, kissing her lips softly, giving her a chance to pull away. When she didn’t I deepened the kiss, nipping at her lower lip, causing her to gasp in surprise. I pulled her hips into me, causing her to grind into me, and I could scent her arousal. She had the most beautiful full lips, I did not want to stop.

“Please Angel let me spoil you…” I softly said, softly kissing her again.

“Ok” she finally said, looking dazed.

“Good, now that we have that settled let’s get you unpacked and see what you need for tomorrow” I smiled, lifting her up and setting her back on her chair. We cleared the dishes, and I instructed her to leave them in the sink. I knew my housekeeper was coming early in the morning to make breakfast. We went up to our room and into the closet. I showed her the built-in drawers and intricate built-in areas for her jewelry. When she opened her suitcase, it was worse than I thought. She needed everything from the inside out, clothing wise. I was furious at the way she was obviously treated, not horrible but the bare minimum. On the upside of that, I was going to get to do my favorite thing and spoil her beyond reason. She placed her suitcase in the very back of the closet, and I still had the feeling it was important to her for some reason. I opened the bag Zyanna sent and started pulling items out for her. There was a red robe for the bathroom, a soft cotton nightie, a nice pair of black leggings with a cream cashmere top and some bath products. “I know this probably feels like it’s moving very fast for you, but I will do everything I can to make this transition comfortable for you. These are the clothes that Zyanna sent for tomorrow if you would like to wear them, but you do not have to.” I know mate bonds is intense in the beginning, but she still seemed unsure, and I did not want to scare her. I watched as she carefully touched the beautiful cream top and then the velvet red robe. "They are beautiful." She said quietly.

I gathered the bath products and handed her the robe and nightie. “Would you like a bath or a shower this evening?” I asked, guiding her into the large walk-in bathroom suit. My stature was so large that everything was oversized from the shower to the deep sunk in the tub. I was grateful Madeline was fairly tall. I could already see her gaze resting on the tub.

“A shower would be nice, thank you, but could you show me how to use it?” She asked.

“Are you sure? The tub is very nice, and I am sure today has been a lot for you. Would you like to soak and relax for a while? I would be happy to give you all the time you want. But as always, the choice is yours” She was eyeing the tub again, listening to me.

“Yes, that would actually be very nice” She quietly said. I started the tub and added the bubbles and salts that Zyanna had left for her. She placed the red velvet robe and nightie on the chair. I have to give credit to Zyanna. This red was going to look beautiful on Madeline, I hope the dress for the ball is red too. Sneaky girl, she probably already had something gorgeous figured out, and knowing Natalia, it was going to be exquisite.

I stepped out and returned quickly with Madeline's glass of wine setting it on the side of the tub. I made sure a towel was laid out as well before leaving her to relax, locking the door on my way out of the bathroom to hopefully help her feel more comfortable. I stepped into the closet and changed into comfortable soft pants, leaving off my shirt. I was ready to be out of the suit for the evening, and shifters were never bothered with any kind of nudity. Although I am wondering how Madeline is going to feel about it, she seems so shy. I stepped out of the closet, going downstairs to shower in the guest bathroom, I was really hoping she would take her time to relax.

I hurried through my shower, not wanting her to be alone if she finished her bath quickly. When I stepped back into the bedroom, I noticed the bathroom door was still closed, and I breathed as a sigh of relief. I looked around for a moment, then decided on starting a fire as was my nightly habit. Hopefully, Madeline would be willing to sit by the fire with me for a while tonight. I wanted desperately to be close to her tonight, even just to hold her, but that may be pushing it. I could sleep on the couch or go to the guest room. whatever she was most comfortable with. I watched for a moment as the fire roared to life the flames dancing in front of me.

I glanced at the bathroom door and felt peaceful feelings emitting from Madeline. Smiling, I turned back to watch the fire and, after a few minutes, felt an incredible sadness come in waves from Madeline. I stood by the door, not wanting to interrupt her time, but her sadness was becoming painful. I could not stand it anymore, so I quietly

knocked on the door...
