Ethan thought he was already immune by what he would see, but as it turned out, he overestimated himself. He was not that immune and was still taken aback when he watched Cane and Iris were in the middle of their passionate kiss.
How they could be this passionate when dozens of people were waiting for them outside?! Ethan couldn’t comprehend this.
Cane was usually not easily aroused and from all people could see, Iris was not that amorous, but why whenever they were together, it seemed the two of them turned into someone else completely, as if they couldn’t put their hands away from each other.
Especially now! How could Cane become so reckless? They didn’t even realize the gamma was watching them for a while?
"Ehem! Uhuk!" Ethan cleared his throat and then coughed noisily to get the attention from the two of them.
Only then Iris startled, she immediately tried to stand up from her position. Currently, she was straddling Cane, but he didn’t let her go, instead, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pushed her head against his chest, so she could hide her red face.
Was that really necessary?! They had important thing out here! "Cane, the other have been waiting," Ethan said stiffly.
"I will go out in a moment," Cane said casually, as if there was nothing happened, he was as calm as ever, but the gamma’s face already turned red, he scratched his head.
"Okay." Fine. Took your time! We were only side characters in your story after all!
It took Cane two minutes to finally come out from the carriage. He looked presentable, there was no trace of his lewd activity earlier.
"Thank you for waiting, my mate is not feeling well after this long journey, I need to comfort her," Cane said smoothly, as if lying was his second language.
Everyone there knew what happened inside the carriage, or they assumed so after they witnessed Ethan’s expression when he opened the carriage door, but of course, none of them would hold it against Cane, they had more important thing to talk about rather than dwelled in this matter.
However, the same thing couldn’t be said to a certain merchant. Lou’s face turned ashen, more so when he didn’t have any chance to talk with Iris, explaining himself about the children.
"Don’t worry, alpha, we understood luna Iris’s body is rather delicate, this long journey must have exhausted her," alpha Colter spoke wisely.
With that excuse, Iris could skip having small talk with the rest of them and stayed inside the carriage, enjoying her time with her baby, talking to them, as they moved in her belly.
Iris couldn’t stop giggling and grinning from ear to ear, because this feeling was very foreign for her, but she liked it a lot.
Once she was escorted to her bedroom that she would share with her mate, Iris asked for Cane, but unfortunately the alpha and the rest would be having a meeting right away, so it might be later at night when Cane could come to her again.
"Where is Ethan?" Iris asked the servant, who showed her to her bedroom.
"Pardon me, luna. I am not sure, who is that?" she looked confused.
"Oh, the gamma of my pack. He was walking behind alpha Cane before," Iris said excitedly, she wanted to show this to Ethan. She wanted to see his expression too.
"I will look for him."
"Tell him to come to me right away."
The servant resigned herself and left the room, leaving Iris alone, as she observed her and Cane’s bedroom. She opened the curtain and felt bitter to see the dark sky again. When this dark sky disappeared and this strange black rain stopped?
This was the only thing that dampened her mood.
But, Iris was being cheerful again when she heard Ethan’s voice, as he knocked on the door. Iris rushed to open it and pulled him inside the bedroom.
"Wow, Iris! What is it?" Ethan blinked his eyes, confused with the huge smile on her lips.
Iris stretched out her hand with her palm was facing up, asking for his hand. "Your hand," she said excitedly.
Ethan could see how she was in a good mood, but didn’t know what she wanted with his hand. "For what?" he asked, but at the same time, he gave her his hand, but he immediately pulled it back when he saw what she was going to do. "Iris! What are you doing?! Cane will kill me!"
Ethan’s eyes widened in horror when Iris brought his hand to touch her body, but she clicked her tongue impatiently and pursed her lips. "Don’t think too much, what do you think I am going to do with you?"
"That’s my question, what are you going to do with me?" Ethan took a step back. "Iris, I still want to live."
