Kidnapped by a Dragon Billionaire - Chapter 32

Thorin was surprisingly understanding when Zi Mei told him that she wanted to move into her new house and start going to college. In fact, he instructed Jessica and Lim to help her move into her new house. Jessica used her powers to transfer all of Zi Mei’s personal items to the house while Lim stood around waiting for orders from her. Eventually, she told him to get her some groceries but Jessica had already filled her fridge and pantry with a variety of food.

After she was done moving in to her house, which only involved her walking in and sitting there while Jessica did everything, both Jessica and Lim left her alone. She sat on the chaise lounge in her living room and looked at the sunlight streaming in from the skylight and the small courtyard under the skylight. She still find it hard to believe that she is a home owner now and in a gorgeous home at that too. Maybe she should get a dog or a cat, she would love to have a pet. Also, she would need to think about the type of courses she would like to take in college.

While she sat there thinking, Thorin appeared in the courtyard, making an entrance like that actor in Terminator. She rolled her eyes.

What is with Thorin and his poses.

The old dragon, wearing a tailored white shirt and fitted black pants as usual, sauntered towards her. He didn’t go near her but chose an armchair to sit down.

“So, are you feeling better?” he asked.

She nodded. The night spent with her friends were therapeutic. It somehow gave her strength to go on. It also gave her a resolve to get through this dark time in her life. She knew she has the strength to get over it and live with it. It will just take time.

“That’s good,” Thorin said. He studied her for a while.

“I have decided to give you a reprieve, sort of like a vacation, from our contract, you need the rest anyway,” he said.

She looked at him, amazed. He was so insistent on her staying with him and giving him babies when he first kidnapped her but suddenly, he is so patient and sweet. He sounded sincere without any ulterior motive.

“Thank you,” she replied politely.

“So, have you decided on what to study in college?”

She shook her head.

“Not really…I don’t have any particular interest so I need to look around a bit more,” she said.

He nodded in understanding.

“How long of a reprieve are you giving me? A week? Two weeks?” she asked before he starts to say something else.

“As long as I feel that you need, probably six months, and I think it will take a while for you to heal entirely,” he said.

Her eyes widened in shock. He is willingly giving her six months? That is so generous of him!

“Honestly? You’re not pulling my leg??”

He shrugged matter-of-factly.

“Six months is a very short period of time for us dragons so I can afford to give it to you and even longer, if you feel the need to,” he said.

“So, I can live here alone on my own throughout the six months?” she had to be sure.

He nodded, smiling in amusement at her reaction and disbelief.

“I am a dragon, not a monster,” he told her.

She jumped up and went to hug him. She literally threw herself on him, straddling him on the chair, her head resting on his chest and her arms behind his neck.

“Thank you Drags!” she murmured gratefully. His arms came around her and held her gently. He patted her back softly.

“I put you through a lot, it was the least I could do,” he murmured.

She inhaled and take in his familiar scent. She had missed him and the feel of his warm strong body. She missed the feel of his arms around her, holding her securely and keeping her safe. She snuggled against his muscular chest and felt him hardened underneath her. A thrill of desire within her responded almost immediately to his arousal.

“Ahem…you better get off before something happens,” he said.

She shook her head.

“No, please, let’s just remain like this for a while longer,” she pleaded.

He sighed but didn’t say anything. He made no move to seduce her although she could feel him straining so hard against her. He merely held her and patted her back softly. They stayed that way for a few minutes more and then she clambered off him reluctantly and went back to the chaise lounge.

“Thank you, I needed that hug,” she said.

He merely nodded and shifted his position. She noticed the large bulge. She had made him so hard, it was straining against his pants. She gulped at the desire and fear warring within her. She wanted him too but yet, she has this fear of mating with him again. A fear of being impregnated again.

“Maybe you should major in seduction with a minor in blue balls,” Thorin said sardonically, shifting yet again in his seat.

She reddened slightly. It was not fair for her to get him so aroused and leave him like this and yet, she couldn’t bring herself to do anything to relieve his arousal.

“I’m sorry…I just can’t,” she said.

“Hey…hey…don’t worry, I was teasing you,” he said reassuringly.

He shifted in his seat again.

“I’ll get over it, don’t worry,” he added.

She looked unsure.

“Maybe I shouldn’t have hugged you…”

“Look, Little Zi, you can hug me anytime you want, I will be here for you and like I’ve told you so many times, I won’t force myself on you,” he said.

She nodded silently.

“So, do you want me to stay here with you or you prefer to be alone?”

She looked at him in surprise. She had never thought of whether she wanted Thorin here or not. She had always assumed she would be living alone. She wasn’t sure if she wanted him here with her or if she could handle living alone again.

“I don’t know,” she replied honestly.

He shrugged as if it didn’t really matter.

“Okay, I assume you prefer to be alone so I won’t move in here, I will try to visit you to check in on you every once in a while, is that okay?”

She agreed to that. She would want to see him every once in a while too. Thorin has become a part of her life in these past few weeks, it would be strange not to see him daily anymore.

“That’s settled then, just remember that I will always be there for you, you only need to call for me or for Lim,” he said.

With that, he got up and left through the front door like a regular person. She wondered if he had made it so that when he opens that door, it leads straight into his home. She went to the door and opened it. It opened out to the narrow street her house is on.

Thorin is no where in sight.

So, this marks the beginning of another chapter in her life, as an independent woman living on her own and soon-to-be a college student!
