Hearts On Fire
Chapter 28:

Meanwhile in the hot tub area

Amaya: “How many hot tubs do you have? I've never seen this one before.”

Azar: “Only two.”

Amaya: “I like this one. The view of the forest is even better than the other one.”

Azar: “I'm glad to hear it. Wanna hop in?”

Amaya: “Yes!!”

Azar: “Let's go then.”

Amaya: “Don't you dare push me in.”

Azar: “I would never do that but now you gave me an excellent idea.”

Amaya: “Do.Not.Dare!!”

Azar: “You're no fun. Come on, just jump in. you know I’d never let anything happen to you. Plus the water is ready.”

Amaya: “Are you gonna say something or are you just gonna keep staring at me like that? It's really creepy.”

Azar: “How could I not stare at you when I have perfection like you right in front of me? My future wife.”

Amaya: “Time flew by fast. I can't believe our wedding is tomorrow.”

Azar: “Are you getting cold feet?”

Amaya: “No!! Of course not.”

Azar: “Thank God. after that heart attack you gave me…”

Amaya: “Please don't even mention it to me. I'll always feel like the biggest idiot.”

Azar: “Well now there’s no time for you to change your mind. Either way, we're getting married tomorrow.”

Amaya: “Mhm…there's still time.”

Azar: “Stop messing with me, I won't be able to take it.”

Amaya: “You know that today’s the last day that I'm single. I think we’re really gonna enjoy it tonight. You're jealous because my bachelorette party is tonight.”

Azar: “You're right, I am jealous. You're mine!!”

Amaya: “Not until tomorrow.”

Azar: “This is funny to you?”

Amaya: “Extremely. You're cute when you're jealous.”

Azar: “Well guess what…my bachelor party is tonight too. You know the tradition? We might end up having strippers.”

Amaya: “What did you just say?!”

Azar: “You heard me right.”

Amaya: “You wouldn't dare!!”

Azar: “I don't know, since you said you'll be having fun…I deserve some fun too.”

Amaya: “Go near another woman and I'll cut your balls off. Stop laughing!! I'm not joking, I'm dead serious. You're mine!!”

Azar: “What did you say?”

Amaya: “You're mine!!”

Azar: “Oh…you're mine. Didn't you just say a few minutes ago that you're free until tomorrow? When I say the same goes for me you change your mind all of a sudden. Who's jealous now?”

Amaya: “Fuck you.”

Azar: “Oh you will. I don't doubt that. You’re insatiable.”

Amaya: “Like you're any better.”

Azar: “I didn't say that I am. We’re the same. Especially when it comes to that. That's how I know you would never cut my balls off. You just love them too much.”

Amaya: “I was serious. You made me mad.”

Azar: “My doll…there's something it seems you always forget. Don't play with fire, you'll get burned. (they kiss)”

In Amaya’s head: Two weeks since the proposal passed. I can't believe we're actually getting married. I'm so thankful how understanding he was even after I hurt him with my first reaction. I didn't need to explain anything to him. He already knew it all. It's safe to say he knows me better than I know myself. Well…I guess that's what they’re for. His family came back without any information about my pack. They couldn't replace them. They were long gone. I was relieved and stressed out at the same time. Looks like they’re always one step ahead of us. It was uncertain what they had planned and it made me sick to the core but I tried to suppress all of those thoughts. I wanted to enjoy every single second of the day with Azar. When we broke the news of our engagement to his family they were all ecstatic. A lot of tears of joy were shed. They all accepted me as their own and I feel like I've always belonged here. Azar’s ring was beautiful but instead of putting it on my finger I decided to wear it as a necklace. I don't know why but it made me feel better. More connected to him. For a few years all I could see when I looked at myself in the mirror was this big nasty scar. A reminder of that terrible and painful day. No matter how hard I tried I’d always focus on it but not anymore. Now the first and only thing I see is the nice diamond ring. Proof of my mates love. Proof that I belong to him.

In Azar’s head: Tomorrow we are getting married. How crazy is that? Time flew by so quickly and Amaya and I were enjoying every second of it. I already knew, my family was more than happy when they heard about our engagement. Once I stayed alone with them, I told them I don't want anything too big for Amaya's sake because I knew how easily they could get carried away and create the wedding of the century, inviting every single member of every pack but I knew Amaya wouldn’t be comfortable with that. She let me and my family in but that's it. Her walls are still up and I want tomorrow to be the happiest day of her life so I decided we should make something small and private. Of course everyone respected my wish. I won't want the whole world to know about our wedding but there will be time for celebrations. My main and only priority is my flame and to make her happy and secure. We were completely free of any duties. My mom, uncle Sammy and Miranda were organizing everything. I can't believe tomorrow is the beginning of our future. From tomorrow, my doll will be my mate and my wife until the rest of our days.

Azar: “How are you so stunning? I'll never stop admiring your beauty nor being shocked by it. Turn around, doll. You drive me insane, do you know that?”

Amaya: “Yes and I enjoy every single second of it.”

Azar: “Such a tease. I'll make sure this is the only thing you'll think of tonight. The only thing to occupy your thoughts…your feelings…your sighs. (later that day in the closet getting ready)”

In Amaya’s head: Time for the party. I didn't even want to go out of the house to be honest. I wanted to be with Azar and spend every second with him but Mir complained that we didn't leave our room for three weeks now so it's time to finally get out of bed. Well, if that's not completely true. We do leave the bed. We used to shower, kitchen, living room, floor, and walls. There's no place in this huge house where we didn't do it. We even had some amazing adventures outside but they're right. I'm getting married tomorrow. I have a whole life to spend with my mate. The least I can do is go out tonight. Miranda says Khiara, Tia, and Azrael are coming and of course Sammy. He's so precious. I know he did so much effort to prepare everything. I'm kind of nervous, not going to lie. I'm used to Azar being around me non-stop. Always cuddling me, kissing me, holding me. It'll sound like a cliche…it's been an hour since he went to meet with Thorne and the others and I already miss him. I miss his strong arms around me. Though he really did make sure this morning that I didn't forget his grip. No more stalling. The others are already ready and waiting for me. (on the balcony)

Amaya: “I'm ready.”

Miranda: “Bub, you look amazing.”

Amaya: “Thank you and all of you are gorgeous as hell.”

Azrael: “I’m a milf.”

Khiara: “Mom?!”

Azrael: “What? It's true.”

Amaya: “Let's go. (a few hours later at the bar)”

In Azar’s head: It's been three hours since we went out and since Amaya and the others went to the club. I hated that more and more with every second passing I didn't like not having her around me. All I could think about was how she was doing, if she's okay. I know she's safe. After all, my mother was with her but I had this unsettling feeling inside of me. I don't like letting her out of my sight and there was this jealousy as well. I know uncle Sammy made sure they’ll be the only ones there but you never know. What if someone tries to make a move on her? I hate this. Anger was building inside of me. I needed my mate and Blaise couldn't agree more. He was persuading me how bad this whole idea was. Of course I didn't enjoy myself. How could I ever do it without a mind by my side? I know how it sounds but she's all that matters to me and after spending so much time together…being glued to each other constantly…I miss her. I couldn't stop longing to have her in my arms again. To hell with this shit, screw the party. I'm out.

Azar: “I'm gonna go see my mate!! (at the club). Amaya?!”

Amaya: “Daddy?!”

Azar: “You're drunk.”

Amaya: “No, just a little tipsy.”

Azar: “I'm sorry I came and ruined your party.”

Amaya: “You didn't ruin anything, I missed you so much. I taught some dance moves, let me show you. How do you like it?”

Azar: “I love it, but please no more. My family is here and I'm barely containing myself right now. To hell with it.”

Amaya: “Do you like my outfit?”

Azar: “I love it, you look like a goddess.”

Amaya: “You know what's the best part? I can't wait for you to rip it off of me.”

Azar: “That’s it, we're going home.”

Amaya: “Yes please, take me. I'm gonna go home to have sex with my future husband!! What are you waiting for, big bad wolf? Take me.”

Azar: “I loved how you call me daddy.”

Amaya: “Because you are one and I can't wait to give you lots of pups.”

Azar: “If you wanna crawl like you did before…”

Amaya: “Anything for you, husband.”

Azar: “Fuck!!”
