《Purchased Wife》Chapter 20: Simple
Advertisement
She woke up rubbing her eyes, trying to rub the sleep away. Looking around, she was still in the office. His office. Her eyes widened as she thought to herself:
Liam will kill for sleeping in his office. Did he leave and went home?
She sat from the couch, thinking she was alone. But she was not. He was sitting on the floor, his back resting against the window wall, working on his laptop.
He was wearing glasses which she has never seen him wear.
He said without looking at her, typing away on his MacBook, "Hope you slept well." He stopped and looked up at her. she asked: "What time is it?" He replied"7 pm."
She sat straight and asked, "Why didn't you wake me?" He looked back at his laptop and said"You were sleeping. I thought that it'll be better for you to rest. Considering what happened yesterday."
She looked at him. His tie off. Starting two buttons of the shirt were unbuttoned, exposing his tan muscular collarbones. The sleeves of his shirt rolled up to his elbows, showing off his veins and his bird tattoo.
His long thin slender fingers working on the keyboards. His thick black brows furrowed as he worked. His blue eyes were serious underneath those glasses. Nothing made him more attractive.
Without looking he asked"Hungry?" She nodded.
"Good. I already ordered."
A couple of minutes later, Liam went down to get the delivery and came back up. She looked at the food and brightly smiled to herself.
He asked, "Why are you smiling?" She looked at him and her smile left her face. She gulped but he kept looking at her for an answer. She replied," I love burgers."Biting her bottom lip, nervous to answer.

She sat on the floor eating quietly, with her burger in her hand. He sat opposite her. In front of her. Her heart racing as to why was he sitting near her.
Out of the blue, he asked: "Tell me a little about yourself." Not something she expected him to ever ask her. She stammered"L-Like What?" He shrugged and said"Anything" She remained in silence. He again asked, "What's your favorite color?"
"B-blue. I like blue."
After that, a comfortable silence falls between them as they devour their delicious burger.

I'm sorry this chapter is shmall. But I wanted this chapter to be small.
Because I wanted them to have a conversation where that didn't end in a fight, or being scare or anything kind of abuse. Just something simple.

Moonblood
Five moons rise over Evanir, each in her own cycle, and each moon is also a god, one of five sisters. Many gods create spirit attendants and companions, brought forth fully-formed. Long ago, the moons worked together to create a lineage that are, instead, humans transformed by the mingling of blood. They intended them to be long-lived and to draw their strength directly from the light of the moon who chose each individual. The five sisters had different goals in mind – one wanted it to be a blessing for scholars and artists, to give them more time and fewer physical distractions; another wanted them to have an animal form, different for each, to keep them more in tune with nature so they could serve as guardians of the wilderness. There are drawbacks to their children having human lives and personalities before being chosen: not all share the goals of their divine mothers, and some choose to put their gifts to darker uses. Those carrying the blood of one woman, fleeing the corruption in search of a quiet life, take a different path. -=-=-=-=- Moonblood isn't so much a novel as a series of adventures of varying length. They involve a core group of people, which does grow over time. They take place in a fairly low-magic world, but despite that, our core cast are directly connected to the moons and have various abilities, including limited shapeshifting to a single individual animal form. As with all my work, unless gender, orientation, or other aspects of sexuality are explicitly stated, I suggest not making assumptions. Probably most significant, I think, is a major trans character who appears about 80K words in - no spoilers, just a note for those who care about that one way or the other.
