Beauty and the Beasts

“I feel like I’m dreaming.” Curtis hugged Bai Qingqing and leaned his forehead against hers, gazing deeply into her eyes.

Looking at him so up close, Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but blink her eyes. With a flushed face, her lips parted, but no words came out. Though, there was plenty running through her heart and mind right now.

Bai Qingqing sighed with emotion. The males here are so easy to coax! They were already officially married and had been way more intimate than this. Yet, she only took the initiative once, and the male got so excited. Moreover, we’re talking about the iceberg Curtis here. If it were Parker, wouldn’t he fly to the moon or something?

When he saw that Bai Qingqing’s breathing had become even, Curtis raised her jaw and kissed her again on those lips of hers that had turned slightly swollen from being kissed.

With a stiff neck, Bai Qingqing pressed a hand against Curtis’s chest. “Err, then what about Parker?” She lowered her gaze as she spoke to conceal her reluctance to part with Parker. “We’re still living in his house…”

Honestly speaking, if it wasn’t for the fact that her fate was sealed with Curtis’s, Bai Qingqing desired Parker as a mate more.

Parker was of a similar age to her, and they had plenty to talk about. Also, she was attracted to his bubbly personality and always felt very happy when she was around him.

Furthermore, it was warm and cozy hugging him to sleep.

Alright, as for this point, she merely couldn’t bear to part with a life-size furry soft toy.

Since she had already mated with Curtis, it was hardly justifiable for her to still not accept Parker. She could only move out if she didn’t accept him.

With Bai Qingqing tightly held against his chest, Curtis said in a deep and raspy voice, blowing cold air into her ears as he spoke, “I must be the first.”

“What?” Bai Qingqing didn’t get what Curtis was implying. She looked up at him.

Curtis said, “I must be the first to mate with you. He has to do it after me.”

Curtis’s voice, although not very loud, exploded like thunder in Bai Qingqing’s brain. She was so shocked that her heart nearly stopped. She widened her eyes at Curtis.

Has Curtis accepted Parker? Has Curtis accepted Parker? Curtis has accepted Parker!!

It should have occurred to her. When others expressed their fondness for her, their lives would be in danger. However, Parker could sleep with her in his arms every other day, and it was only when he really went overboard that Curtis would teach him a lesson.

“But…” Bai Qingqing halted in her words.

How could she bear to abandon Parker? She had wanted to move far away with Curtis, thinking that perhaps both she and Parker would feel better if they did not see each other. When she heard Curtis say this, she was certainly very tempted. Her racing heart made it impossible for her to deceive herself.

Curtis’s eyes suddenly turned cold. He placed his large icy-cold hand on the back of Bai Qingqing’s neck, his voice so dark and sinister it sounded like it came from hell. “You want to give birth to his cubs first? You like him?”

Bai Qingqing could feel the veins on her neck throbbing under Curtis’s grasp. Seized by terror, every muscle of her body froze.

Curtis said, “Have you forgotten my words?”

If you like other males, I’ll make sure he never appears before you again.

Bai Qingqing suddenly recalled Curtis’s words. Despite the gentle tone of that voice, it made her feel highly uneasy. She had thought that this didn’t include Parker, but it seemed like she was wrong.

“You like him?” Curtis pressed on, a murderous look in his eyes. Yet, in the depths of his eyes, sorrow was hidden.

He was greedy. After getting Bai Qingqing’s acknowledgment, he also wanted her heart to belong to him. The reason he allowed Parker to become Bai Qingqing’s mate was that previously, Bai Qingqing wasn’t mates with anyone, so he had thought that there wasn’t anyone that Bai Qingqing was fond of, that she was only keeping Parker around because she couldn’t shake him off. He even thought that she might detest him, hence his willingness to keep Parker around.

But now it looked like that wasn’t the case.

Xiao Bai is even thinking of giving to that leopard’s cubs first. It’s time to find a replacement for her second male.
