Bound To Him - Chapter 144

Dimitri and Aiden had enough women hitting on them, so they decided to get a private area they could hang out, without people bumping into them all the time.

Dimitri had been eyeing Emily from where he was sitting, while Aiden looked around and saw Tristan looking around, so he waved them over.

Ava smiled when she saw Aiden and Dimitri sitting on the couch, and they both nodded back.

“Where is Blake?” Aiden asked.

“He went to find his woman,” Tristan replied.

“Blake has a girlfriend? Who is she?” Ava asked curiously. Tristan and Aiden looked at each other in silence.

“Oh you know her very well,” Aiden teased.

“I do? Who is this mystery girl?” Ava asked innocently. At the same time, Blake got to their area with Sara.

“Oh my gosh, sis, when Tristan came, I totally forgot about you. I’m sorry,” Ava said as she stood in front of Sara, not noticing her sister was holding Blake’s hand.

“Don’t worry I’m fine,” Sara smiled.

“Sis come sit down with me,” Ava tried to drag Sara but noticed she didn’t budge. Ava frowned when she saw Blake’s arm around her sister’s waist.

“Sis, why is he holding you?” Ava asked in confusion.

Before Sara could say anything, Blake replied, “Because she’s my girlfriend,” Ava’s mouth hung wide open.

Aiden chuckled, seeing Ava’s reaction as Tristan tried to put a comforting arm around her.

“He’s telling you the truth, I’m with Blake,” Sara says as she smiles at her boyfriend.

“Sis are you serious? Are you playing a trick on me” Ava pouted?

“I wouldn’t do that to you. And yes I am serious about him,” Sara smiled again as she replied.

“Tristan, why don’t I know about this? Did you know they were together?” Ava asked with an accusing look. Her look said, “If you say yes, then I will be angry at you.”

“No little one, I just learned about it now, I’m as shocked as you are,” Tristan said. All the other three aristocratic men snickered silently, Tristan’s wife was so naive that she believed everything he said.

“Oh Sis, I’m so happy for you,” Ava said enthusiastically.

She was a little apprehensive, but Blake was part of Tristan’s inner circle, and if Tristan trusted him then she knew he was a good person, and she would trust that he would take care of her sister. She also knew that her sister was very particular about anybody she dated, so she knows that Sara has put a lot of thought into this, and it was not an impulsive decision.

“Guys meet Sara,” Blake thought of officially introducing her to his friends. This was going to be the first time they all met personally, except for Tristan, because even when they were invited to Ava’s wedding they didn’t really get to interact with one another.

“Baby you already know Tristan, so I will skip him, this guy here is Dimitri Santoris,” Blake pointed towards Dimitri, who stood up when he was introduced.

Dmitri was very handsome, she noticed, he had a dark and dangerous aura around him, he didn’t look like he wanted to shake her hand, so she smiled and nodded at him.

“This here is Aiden Cooper,” Blake said, pointing to Aiden.

Aiden was like a celebrity. He had a charm that made everyone around him comfortable. As they tried to shake each other’s hand, Blake pulled her away, “Tsk tsk, no shaking hands, and no touching my woman,” he said, showing his possessive side.

For a second, Aiden frowned when he looked at Sara. He felt that she was familiar to him, that he knew her from somewhere.

And then he remembered.

Blake sensed the recognition in Aiden’s face and shook his head slightly and pursed his lips to signal him not to say anything. The heirs were very observant and good at sending subtle signals with each other that Aiden knew to shut his mouth.

“Oh ho ho, no touching he said. Hi Sara! Welcome to the group, now we have two Wesley sisters,” Aiden said sheepishly.

“Thank you!” Sara smiled and thought Aiden was the friendliest person among the four heirs.

“Hey did you see Kelly and Emily?” Sara asked Ava.

“They’re probably still on the dance floor, that’s where we left them,” Ava said.

Jack, Kelly, and Emily made their way to their private area when they saw Sara and Ava hanging out with the guys.

Kelly was a little inebriated and did not really care too much about the people she was with, all she wanted right now was food, so she sat on one side, trying to figure out what to order.

Emily, on the other hand, had heard about the Aristocratic heirs and she knew that Blake was one of them, but this will be the first time she would meet all of them at the same time and in person.

As soon as Emily got near Dmitri’s body stiffened. Here she was, the woman he had been staring at since they came into the club, and he couldn’t believe that he would get to know her sooner than he thought, and he couldn’t help but stare.

She was more beautiful up close, and when she passed him to get to Sara, he got a whiff of her light, unique scent that somehow relaxed him.

Sara understood that Emily was nervous, so she decided to make her comfortable by introducing her to the group.

“Everyone, this is my friend Emily, we both work at Blake’s company,” Sara decided to give everyone some background information. She repeated Blake’s introduction pointing out each person.

Tristan and Blake just nodded because except for their women, they weren’t really interested in anybody else. They were content having their woman in their arms.

When Sara introduced Dmitri, Emily felt her heart stop, he was the most handsome man she had seen in her life, and that smoldering gaze he was giving her made her feel like she was prey waiting to get eaten. He just kept on staring at her like they were the only people in the club.

Emily lowered her eyes because she could not hold his gaze for more than a few seconds, she felt self-conscious.

Aiden was his usual self, he held her hand to shake and asked pointedly, “Nice to meet you, Emily, do you have a boyfriend?” Everyone looked at them and was curious, why is Aiden asking her such a direct question? They just met.

Dimitri raised his eyebrow at Aiden, he knew that Aiden was up to something.

“Uhhh… What?” Emily asked, feeling all the eyes in the room on her.

“Are you single Ms. Emily?” Aiden repeated the question.

“Uhm… yeah…. yes?!?” Emily stammered.

“Good, are you planning to date?” Aiden asked, trying to push his luck.

Emily looked at Sara, her face clearly showing that she needed help and Sara turned to Blake to help her, she was responsible for Emily’s well being, but Aiden was Blake’s friend so she didn’t think it was her place to tell him off.

Blake stepped in, “Aiden, that’s enough, she is our guest, stop with the pointed questions,” interrupting Aiden’s interrogation.

“Okay fine!” Aiden said as he stood beside Dmitri, and Sara guided Emily to sit next to her.

Emily felt uncomfortable with the questions, and as she sat down, she felt like the hair on her neck was standing because someone was staring at her. When she pretended to look around her eyes collided with Dmitris’, he was busy watching her every move, trying to imprint every small detail about her on his mind.

“See, I made things easier for you. She is single so you can ask her out any time,” Aiden whispers to Dmitri, and he just glares back at Aiden.

“No need to thank me,” Aiden teased.

“What nonsense,” Dmitri said dismissively.

“Don’t deny it, you’re staring at her like she was the first woman you’ve seen in your life,” Aiden jokingly laughed.

Dmitri ignored Aiden as he kept on staring at Emily. She blushed and tucked her hair behind her ear when she consciously felt his eyes on her again, she didn’t know why but she kept getting drawn to lift her eyes up at him, and every time she did she got caught looking.

This may or may not be the start of something new.

It had been one month since Sara and Blake started their relationship, and day by day their relationship kept getting stronger. Both of them were always busy at work, but they constantly kept in touch by calling or sending messages.

On the weekends, they would go out for candle-lit dinners, long drives, or to the movies, but sometimes when they’re had a very hectic week, Blake would just cook at home, and they would stay in and take the time to snuggle and catch up with each other.

Blake would often take Sara to his parents’ house, and they started to treat her like their second daughter. She loved his family because they were very warm, and they have welcomed her with open arms.

Most of the time Nina was there too, and as she had promised Blake, she had been good to Sara, and whatever prejudice Nina had against her during their initial meeting had vanished. They had bonded like they were sisters. Mrs. Anderson took Sara and Nina shopping, and whatever she bought for Nina, she got for Sara as well. They were inseparable, they went to the spa and did their nails together.

Sara told her parents that she had late-night photoshoots so she could spend most nights at Blake’s house, but even though they slept together, they had not consummated their relationship.

Sara’s career was skyrocketing, and it looked like people had forgotten about her past. People always had something new to talk about, they flitted from one topic to the other like butterflies, old news bored them.

Her next commercial for an up-and-coming perfume brand went viral, and because Sara was getting recognized for her work, she became the cover of Vogue.

Vogue is the number one beauty magazine in the world, everyone from celebrities to royalty reads this magazine.

Being featured on the cover was on the top of Sara’s bucket list, and now she can happily tick it off.
