Starlet - Book 2 - Mate Games

5. Garden

For the weekend, we work on the art shop some more. There's nothing different about the first floor. He's not changing anything. Only lasering stuff in then removing it.

"What are you waiting for?"

"I want it to be perfect."

"It'll never be perfect. Nothing will." I wrap around him and give him a kiss. "What are you charging people to sell here?"

"100 or 175."

"So it's 100 for 3 pieces."

He nods. "175 would be a space for only their art."

I look at the brain. "Is there any way you could make these walls removable but still solid enough for fine paintings?"

"Yes. Portable interlocking wall panels or walls positioned on tracks."

"Can we get a sample of both please?"

"Of course."

I rub his back. "It would be a way to make it not so permanent for you."

"I love that idea, baby. Plus, as the sellers change, I can switch areas."

"It might cost you more than putting walls up, but I agree, I think it'll be better in the long run."

"Wall samples this way. The first wall is on tracks. The tracks are built into the floor and ceiling. The walls would slide out and could be returned."

"The tracks themselves are permanent? They can not be moved?"

"Correct."

"Still better than permanent walls."

"The next sample is interlocking wall pieces. The pieces are very stable. They connect to the floor and ceiling. Then they lock together." They stand up a wall where they are.

I throw my whole body weight at it. It bounce back. "And they can go anywhere?" I rub my shoulder.

"Yes. However, a small hole would be cut into the floor and ceiling for anchors. They would then be refilled when the wall was moved."

Collin rubs my shoulders. "How much would those cost?"

"100g per 8x4 foot section."

"Are they 8 foot tall or wide?"

"They can be rotated."

I shrug my shoulders. "It looks good."

"Yea it does."

I point at the wall by the entrance desk. "Make that wall a half wall. So she can see what's going on." I smile. "I like the half walls."

He kisses my head. "So what would the estimate be?"

"100g per 8x4 foot section."

"Estimate total."

"2.9k."

"What would it be to put actual walls like this?"

"2.5k."

"No question."

He gives me a kiss. "Thank you baby."

"You did it. I only asked about moving walls."

"I'll do the interlocking walls."

"Yes sir."

I snuggle him. "I can't wait for the walls to be in. Then we can put stuff up. When will it be done?"

"3 hours."

"Oh."

Collin leads me upstairs. "Well, that was sooner than I thought."

We walk into his office and he twirls me.

"You want me to dance for you again, sir?"

"I wasn't even thinking that. But now I am. Yes please."

I laugh and have the brain play some sexy music. I dance for him and tease him with my underwear. Then he takes his shirt off. I stare at his chest and shoulders. He is so sexy. He unhooks his belt and I about fall over. He stands up and strips. His d**k is hard as a rock. I can't take my eyes off it. I want it.

He sits down with it standing up.

He clears his throat and I look at his face. He smirks and grabs his d**k. A shock of pleasure goes through me and I inhale sharply. Then he rubs it.

It's over for me. I launch myself at him. I straddle and kiss him. Then I kiss his marking spot. "Mine."

"Yours." He chuckles and tosses me on the couch. Then he pulls my underwear off and lays down on me. "Someone does not take to being teased very well." He kisses my marking spot and I rub all over him.

I rub my p***y on his d**k mostly, but I rub all over his body too. "Skin."

"Cold skin baby." He puts the puffy yellow blanket over us and kisses me. He pushes it in me over and over.

"OH GOD YES"

"God baby. You're so f*****g good." He kisses my marking spot.

"COLLIN PLEASE" My head falls back. I am dying.

He moves it in me hard and fast. I get 1 hand in his hair and grab his shoulder. Then I hear the door open. It doesn't matter I'm too close. "COLLIN"

"c*m FOR ME BABY." The door shuts.

"OH GOD YES" The orgasm goes through me. It's so strong. "COLLIN" He drags his fangs over my marking spot. "AAAUUU" I c*m so hard. Then I feel him cumming inside me. I pull his head over by his hair and drag my fangs over his marking spot.

"OH f**k BABY." He pushes it in hard as it drains.

I glance around quickly while he finishes and there's nobody else here. Maybe it was a brain. We're under the blanket mostly anyway. Nobody saw anything. Maybe his back, but that's it.

We snuggle under the blanket and love on each other. I get lots of kisses and cuddles. Then we get up. I pull my hair back into a ponytail, and he goes over to piss.

"Did someone walk in?"

"Yes, Paul."

"Was anyone with him?"

"No."

Collin comes in and wraps his arms around me. "You want to go to a restaurant or get some island food?"

"Did you know your dad walked in while we were... going at it?"

"What?"

"I thought I heard the door shut, but I wasn't sure. Nobody was in here. I asked the brain, it said Paul."

"He walked in?"

The brain looks at him. "No. She said your name, and he shut the door. It wasn't shut all the way."

"It's alright. I'll deal with that later. He's not going to say anything. All he did was hear you and shut the door. So maybe I should learn to shut and lock doors."

I give him a kiss. "Shut them and fix the access lists. I love you."

"I love you, baby. You ok?"

"Yea, let's go eat."

We have a nice dinner then walk around the village and market area. I hold his hand and snuggle him as much as I can. I'm really going to miss this. I'm going to miss him. I hope his mate loves him as much as I do. I hope he's very happy with her. He deserves so much.

He pulls me closer to him. "Let's go talk, baby."

We go back to the art shop. His dad and Dipak are standing in the middle of the floor talking.

"Why are you 2 in here and are you stuck? There hasn't been any progress here."

"We came to see the new walls. Turn the lasers off please."

Everything goes away except the walls.

I smile. "I do like these."

Collin nods. "And make these front 4 half walls. I'll put the more expensive stuff at the end. I don't want people coming in and looking at a 50k price tag right inside the door."

Dipak nods. "Turn around and walk right back out. So I was wrong. You are making progress. When did these get done?"

"Sometime tonight."

"Now we can put stuff out for real."

"Nadine and Thora worked on a garden area for you. Nadine really wants to teach and be in the village. So the castle will pay for it. You have to pick out your favorite garden area. They're saved as garden 1,2,3, and 4. You can alter them and pick whatever works."

"They're ready now?" I drag Collin towards the back door.

"Yep."

"Turn on garden with lights."

It's absolutely amazing. There are spotlights on the statues. The whole thing has a deep amber lighting. Then the water moves in statues of werewolves and dragons. A few random fire bursts from dragons. The flowers are so pretty. A 10-foot stone wall surrounds the whole thing. Only his buildings are open to it. There's seating with little tables. Everything is perfect. They did so good.

Then water mist shoots up from the center fountain and a wolf scene plays out. I freeze solid and shake. "MINE."

"No his."

"MINE THOUGH." I point.

"Yea, we can put them in at the castle. That's fine. As soon as Nadine sees it, she's going to say 'mine' too."

I smile and jump up and down.

His dad smiles. "Oh, the dance studio got cleaned out. It's a hell of a lot better in there now."

I run over to it and run into the door. I fall back on my ass and jump up. "DOOR OPEN." It doesn't do anything. I stare at it. "Open door?" I hear Dipak nearly lose it.

Collin opens it with the key. "There you go."

"LIGHTS ON."

Dipak laughs so hard he starts coughing. Paul's laughing so hard he's crying. Collin smiles at me. "Light everything." The whole place gets lit up.

"IT IS AMAZING. I CAN TEACH HERE NOW." I run over and look at the changing rooms. They're perfect. I run over and past the desk into the office. Then I go to the hidden room. It's cleaned out too. "I can't wait to teach dance. I hope I'll be good at it."

"I'm sure you'll be a good instructor, baby." Collin wraps his arms around me from behind and kisses my neck. "We'll get a contract figured out for you."

"I love you Collin."

"I love you baby."

We tweak the garden for an hour. It's beautiful. Then he submits it to the brains. After that, we go to my house. Mario and Angela are on the porch.

"What are you 2 doing here?"

I jump at Mario and he jumps up. "She said I could sit here."

Angela is trying not to laugh and Collin is rubbing his eyes.

"I guess it's ok then." I go in the house and Collin follows me.

"Are you ok with him here?"

"Angela is Thora too. Did you know?"

"No."

We stare at each other for a second then crack up laughing. Angela comes in and laughs with us. "Does he know?"

"He does now."

"Ok. Let's drink. I'm bored."

Collin hugs me. "I can't stay tonight. I have to work at 11. But, I'll have a drink with you. If you want."

1 drink turns into about 10 and there are 30 people here. The brains are playing music and I have no idea how we got this much alcohol.

I dance sexy for Collin. He stands up and nearly falls forward. I laugh and hold him up. Then we kiss.

Dipak walks in with Marcus. "Party is over." Everyone scatters. "It's 2 in the morning, and I'm tired."

"Aww." I give him sad eyes.

Collin smiles and kisses my head. "I do have to go home anyway. I have work at 11. I get out at 2. I'll come see you."

"Ok." I smile and give him a little kiss. Then I try to sit down and totally miss the couch. Angela cracks up laughing and tries to help me. She falls over the table. Then we're lying on the floor laughing.

She looks at Dipak. "That didn't go as planned, sir."

"I noticed."

Marcus nods. "Come on you 2. I'll put guards on you and make sure you get home."

Dipak makes a door for us once they get out. I'm pretty sure we pass out on his couch 4 seconds later.
