Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 424: Cold mountain and Crazy Morgan

Out of her expectation, Alan left Aria on the dining table and wiped the crumbs with a napkin ever so gently. Aria wasn't dumb to think he was going to let her off so easily but heard him seriously say, "Go and change."

She didn't know what he was up to but she got off from the dining table and flew to the bedroom in a single breath. She had washed her face and entered the walk in closet where Alan was standing in poise. She had a strong urge to run away yet she still went inside trying her best to be cautious of the man. She felt like she was in a mystery thriller movie due to the weird silence between them.

Aria's eyes slightly widened looking at the ice cream on the island block in the cloakroom. Alan noticed her line of sight and spoke, "You said you didn't like cookies. So I brought you ice cream."

His tone was normal as it used to be with her, gentle and deep. Aria forgot everything hearing his voice and plunged next to him who fed her ice cream watching her enjoying it, "Tasty?"

"Hmm..." Aria hummed in delight eating another spoon and heard Alan ask, "I should taste too, shouldn't I?"

She had just half hummed when she realized his plan but she was too late and the melted cold ice cream traced down her chin and flowed down her collar bone flushing her scarlet right away. Now she felt cookie crumbs were the best choice.

She tried to leave but Alan left the ice cream bowl that fell and created light tones bouncing on the floor cracking to pieces meanwhile he held her hand and twirled her to him.

She was yet to react, she felt her weight leave the floor when his arm wrapped around her waist and lifted her whirling around him with his deep-set of eyes gazing right into her eyes without letting her look away.

Instinctively grabbing his shoulder, she wanted to voice but it didn't come out looking at him. Her back crashed in the closet and she almost moved her gaze to the closet when his finger moved her chin to keep her gaze on him.

Alan loves how she lets him control her in such movements, his husky tone sounded against her lips, "Now it will taste better."

Aria managed to shake her head but Alan stated the fact, "Ain't I the one who should say that?"

She shook her head again trying to say they should go outside but Alan didn't let her speak, "You want Eva Miller to taste?"

"Nope" She blurted out helpless against her husband's petty possessiveness. Alan hid his smile and asked, "So it's me."

"Yea..." She paused and chided herself, 'Alan is right, I am dummy, the biggest dummy ever...' 

"Alright!" He said as though she asked him to taste the ice cream on her when he was the one who tricked her by taking Eva's name.

Aria hadn't even realized when her dress zip went down until she felt his fingers caress her skin stiffening her back. She knew well she couldn't escape so she didn't struggle but to her despair, Alan took his own time slowly torturing her deliberately.

Alan watched her gapping her lips when he tasted the ice cream leaving a wet kiss at her jaw. Aria really wanted to say 'let me go' but it didn't come out, then she wanted to say, 'faster' but it felt her like that might sound encouraging him to go till the end but they had to leave as many were downstairs.

Soon enough her brain stopped working as she wanted and operated as he wanted until he left her on the edge without reaching the end. After changing the dress, Aria exploded and exited the room, "Don't dare to touch me for a week. You will sleep in the guest room today onwards."

Alan chuckled instead of getting angry or panicked. If he sleeps in the guest room on her outburst she would snuggle to his bed in the middle of the night without getting sleep or knowing he wouldn't be asleep.

He followed her asking, "Shall I take you back in the bedroom? You will just miss lunch and photoshoot till evening."

Puffing her cheeks, she turned and countered back, "Are you calling yourself a monster? Can't you stop after once?"

"Oh!" Alan easily held her hand and said, "Who knows it better than you? Or did you forget? Let's go, I will prove it true."

Aria: "..." She pulled her hands out and ran away to save her poor back and merciful legs hearing him chuckle.

When she reached she saw blushing Eva who was getting teased and slowly stepped back to run away, "Arrie..." Eva sang her name sending everyone's attention to her.

"My wife... My goddess... Save me and become a scapegoat." Eva successfully shifted the attention to her and tried to search if there were any marks on her skin but failed while everyone teased asking what was she doing till now.

"I can't see any cream." Eva mumbled and heard the response for it, "Because there aren't any."

"So boring!" She rolled her eyes thinking they might have just cuddled and wasted time without noticing blushing Aria who remembered all the hickeys under her dress. 'Ugh, such a seducer.'

--- Before half an hour ---

Ceon went to Zara who was standing alone watching the swing attached to the big tree, "I had thought Morgans, Millers, and even you guys, woods are totally unapproachable hence you guys stayed away from other families."

Then his eyes brushed on others and continued, "You all are like one big family and so welcoming. I liked Aunty Amelia, I can't believe she is the mother of cold mountain Morgan and crazy Morgan"

"Aunty?" Zara asked back knowing how well they were acquainted so soon that he was addressing them informally instead of Madam Morgan or Aunty Morgan.

Ceon hummed and added with a smile, "Aunty Amelia asked me to address that way."

Zara nodded and tried to praise him directly as mentioned by Norah and Roxy, "Ceon, you..." She didn't know how exactly to compliment or for what. She can't possibly say, 'You are good.' He was a kindergarten kid and she says you are good and he becomes happy.

Ceon faced her and waited for her to complete but the words didn't come out than her mouth opening and closing. Now he was worried, "What's wrong? Did anything happen? Are you uncomfortable?"

'Uncomfortable?' Morgan mansion is like her second home, why will she be uncomfortable? She blurted out seeing him concerned, "You are amazing."

That didn't sound like compliments but more like she read a line from somewhere. "What?"

Zara frowned and changed the word, "You are very talented."

"Excuse me?" Ceon was nowhere understanding what she was trying to say. Instead of getting happy, Ceon felt like his hair raising without understanding why she was saying.
