Dmitri didn't want to talk about anything regarding Adrianna with his mom. He didn't want Adrianna to be criticized, so he did not answer his mom.
"How is Keisha doing? And do you know how she ended up with partial amnesia? It is not easy to put a werewolf in that condition. You must find out Dmitri," said Cora, getting angry at Dmitri for neglecting Keisha.
Dmitri remembered how he had found Keisha with Adrianna. Adrianna was trying to revive Keisha and he knew that they must have had some fierce combat amongst them to have reached that state. He had asked Adrianna about it, but she didn't say a word and she was too precious to him for him to show his anger in front of her. In either case, he wasn't concerned about Keisha's situation if Adrianna had been involved.
"Okay…" he said before getting up.
He headed to his room. Too tired to think about anything else, he went to sleep. But he felt restless all over again. He couldn't wait to be with Adrianna, so he went to her place early in the morning at 6AM and slid in underneath the blanket he had covered her with earlier. Adrianna stirred and opened her dreamy eyes. She turned towards him and snuggled into his chest. He found that she hadn't changed into anything. Curling his arm around her, he pulled her closer to him. He gently stroked her n.a.k.e.d back and lightly kissed her shoulder before falling asleep peacefully.
When Adrianna woke up, she found her face in someone's chest. Becoming conscious of her n.a.k.e.dness, her cheeks flushed as she separated from him, pulling up the blanket to cover herself and leaping out of bed embarrassed. Dmitri smiled in his sleep as he turned his back to her. She nudged him to go away in case Ed found them, but he wouldn't budge. Annoyed at him, she went to take a shower, hoping her grandfather wouldn't come pounding at the door.
But while she was in the shower, Ed came and pounded the door loudly, saying, "What is going on with this girl? Why is she waking up so late?
"Adri, you have a college to attend!. Do you plan to quit after marrying that Dmitri?"
A few seconds later, the door opened and a shirtless Dmitri stood there, looking at Ed with sleepy eyes. He had one hand on the door and the other resting on his head.
Adrianna had heard her grandfather pounding at the door so she had hurried up, wrapped a towel around her, and had gotten out of the bathroom, thinking that she would tell Ed to wait a bit while she asked Dmitri to make an escape. But when she came out wrapped in a towel, she found that Dmitri had opened the door and , her grandfather was looking at him with confusion as his gaze traveled to her. Adrianna was so embarrassed all over again that she shrieked and ran inside the bathroom while Dmitri just gave them a casual look.
Hurriedly, Ed turned away and went to the kitchen, his ears becoming red. When did this happen? Adrianna had never liked Dmitri. And here he was, emerging out of her bedroom as though nothing had happened.
Dmitri looked at Adrianna and without speaking a word he closed the door. He walked to the bed with the intention to go back to sleep. When Adrianna heard the door close, she peeped outside. When she saw that her grandfather had left, she walked up to Dmitri and said, "Why did you open the door?"
Dmitri was fully awake by then. He kept his hands behind his head and said with a smile, "Because he was pounding on it so loudly. But after today, he should have learned his lesson, and I can have my quiet time with you."
Adrianna's mouth fell. How could he be so shameless? She shook her head and went to collect some clothes from her dresser to change into in the bathroom.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"To change," she replied while walking towards the bathroom.
All of a sudden, Dmitri blocked her way. "But I have seen all of you. You can change in front of me," he said, tugging at her towel.
Adrianna held her towel tightly. "Dmitri, stop it!" she shouted, jerking his hand away. She ran to the bathroom, locked the door, and shouted, "I will keep my pet Dmitri in my room from now on. Don't you dare come in!" How lewd was this man!
Dmitri leaned against the door of the bathroom and laughed. "Then I will just have to toss him out of your bedroom," he said.
Adrianna peeked out a little and growled at him., "Don't you dare."
"Oh Baby, you don't know me," he said. "You don't get to tease me."
"Was thisit a warning?" she wondered. But she would never part with her pet. She was determined about that.
"Dmitri, you don't know me!" she retorted.
Dmitri pursed his lips and became quiet. He wouldn't dare to piss off his queen.
Fifteen minutes later, they came out to have breakfast. Ed had already served breakfast, and was unable to look at Adrianna. Adrianna was also avoiding his gaze. Amongst them, Dmitri felt very comfortable. He hardly looked as if he was the new guy in the family. He behaved as though he had been there for a long time and it was his home rather than Ed's. He devoured his breakfast. Adrianna had only a little, catching Dmitri's attention, so he started feeding her.
Adrianna moved his hand and said, "I can eat by myself," while giving a side glance at her grandfather.
