29. Sucking the blood
IN THE EVENING
*Mommy! Mommy, I want to help!” Ace exclaimed in excitement as he jumped on his seat. He was seated on the kitchen slab as he saw her mother work hard.
Athena smiled hearing her adorable baby as he mixed the batter with a whisker. She set down the bowl filled with batter on the slab and looked at Ace with a big smile.
“And how does my baby plan to help me?” She asked with a raised eyebrow. She absolutely loves Ace and she feels her heart warm up by each of his actions.
“I want to mix it as well.” Ace said while giving her a toothy grin. He only has four teeth. He looks so cute when he grins full mouth. He has a dimple which pops out and it makes him look cuter. 1
She chuckled out loud hearing her. She took a little amount of chocolate batter and put it on his nose, making him scrunch his nose to take a look at it. She chuckled again.
“It’s heavy, baby. You can’t hold it, let alone move it.” She said with a smile.
“Then I want to taste it.” He suddenly demanded with a cheeky smile. She raised her eyebrows at him, seeing him giving up so easily. Normally he gives a really hard time when he wants something and doesn’t stop until he gets it.
“Sure, wait a second.” She replied and was going to take a small amount in her finger to put it in his mouth,
“No! I want to take it myself! Bring the bowl here!” He demanded while eying the bowl with a mischievous smile. Athena raised an eyebrow noticing that smile.
“What’s in your head, baby? You better not do any mischief.” She warned with a small smile before bringing the bowl in front of him.
“Sure, mommy!” He exclaimed loudly in happiness and before Athena could understand what was happening, Ace took a big amount of chocolate cookie batter and pasted it on her right cheeks.
She looked at him in shock and disbelief while he laughed out loud. He was finding it really funny.
“Mommy is not mommy any more! Mommy is now a chocolate mommy!” Ace exclaimed in happiness as he clapped his hands. She looked at him in amusement.
“Chocolate mommy, huh? Mommy is now going to be a tickle monster!” Athena announced with a smirk and before he could run away, she held him and started tickling him. He laughed out loud which made her laugh as well.

“Mommy, no! Stop! You are a good mommy! Stop! Don’t tickle! No tickle monster!” Ace shouted in between his laugh and was trying to push her hand away but she wasn’t having it.
“Why no tickle monster? Ace is naughty!” Athena laughed while tickling him.
“No! Me good! Stop! Mommy!” He exclaimed once again and that’s when Athena stopped.
But that doesn’t mean they stopped laughing. They were still laughing freely as if they were the happiest people alive in the world. As if someone put a lot of happiness in front of them and took all the sadness from them. It’s been a long time since they laughed like this.
What a scene it was!
“What’s happening here?!”
They immediately stopped laughing, hearing the cold and hard voice. They slowly turned around to find the source of the voice and found the least expected person there. Seeing the person, Athene’s smile dropped while Ace’s smile widened.
“Superhero!” Ace exclaimed in happiness. “Mommy, put me down!” He almost jumped, leaving her with no options other than putting him down.
Ace ran toward Dominic as soon as he was down. Dominic was going to pick him up when Athena stopped her.
“Don’t pick him up! He has chocolate all over himself. He will get that on you as well and it will ruin your suit.” She said in a low tone while looking away with a frown. Her frown deepened when he still picked Ace up regardless of her warning.
“Then why were you playing with him? Weren’t you afraid that he might get your dress dirty as well?” He asked with a raised eyebrow.
“I am his mom. The only thing that matters to me is his happiness. Nothing else. But whatever, you won’t understand this until you have your own child.” She said with a blank look on her face. His eyes darkened immediately after hearing her. But before he could say something, Ace interrupted him.
“Superhero, put me down. I want to go out and play with uncle Nathan and uncle Justin. Or else they will start playing without me.” Ace exclaimed with a pout, making Dominic look at him with a raised eyebrow.
“I will punish them badly if they play without you. Just let me know.” Dominic said with a small smile, making Ace grin in happiness.
“Okay!” Saying that he ran away from there. “Be careful!”
“Be careful!”
Athena and Dominic said at the same time. They immediately went silent after realising that. They shared a look but Athena was the first to look away.
“What are you doing here?” Dominic spoke up in his usual cold tone. Athena didn’t look up at him, instead she took the bowl of batter in her hands and started to stir it again.
“I am baking cookies for Ace. And before you say why am I not working for the party, let me tell you, I already finished my part of work.” Athena said with a frown while still not looking at him. She heard his footsteps nearing but she kept her eyes down and kept working.
“That’s not what I meant. I meant, what are you doing here instead of being in my mansion?” Dominic asked in a low tone.
She could feel his breath on the bare skin of her neck. She had her hair up in a bun for baking which was exposing her neck more than necessary.
But that also meant he was standing too close to her. But she still didn’t show any reaction even though the mate bond started doing its magic already. She could feel all the tingling.
“I already told you that I am making Ace cookies. And before you ask why I am not using your kitchen, Stacey forbade me from entering there.” She answered in a blank tone while stirring it a little more forcefully than normal.
Dominic noticed that and he put his hand over her, stilling her immediately. Her heart skipped a bit as she could feel her back touch his chest. She could feel his heartbeat as well.
He slowly started to mix again while still holding her hands. She tried to pull her hand away but he tightened the grip, not letting her do that,
myou didn’t have to listen to her like always.” He whispered in a husky tone. She shivered when his breath hit her exposed skin repeatedly.
“She is the Luna. I should listen to her.” She said with a little bit of sarcasm mixed in her tone.
*That’s right. You should learn to obey her. Tomorrow is the day I am going to have my Luna.” He said while looking down at her face to watch her expression. But she did a great job in keeping her face void o f any expression.
