Chapter 769: A Test

"We’re having a girls-only trip to Petrovia. We’ll see you tomorrow."

Dora’s heart sank as the message flashed across her screen. The one thing she’d been dreading had finally happened: the Frostie women were on their way to Petrovia. She glanced over at Kael, who was blissfully unaware, sound asleep. Of course, he was sleeping peacefully. He had no idea of the storm that was about to hit. And he was going to be the centre of it.

On one hand, she wanted them all to meet and approve of him but on the other, she was scared. Because her and Kael’s relationship was not perfect... They had a few flaws here and there unlike the relationship between the others... But to her, even this little imperfection was perfect. She just hoped that they would see it this way too.

Her eyes flicked back to the message. At least Bella had given her a day’s notice. She shuddered, remembering the last unannounced "surprise visit by Nora and Demon" that had thrown everything into chaos. This time, she had time to be prepared. More importantly, she could put Kael on alert.

Hurriedly, she jabbed his arm. "Kael. Wake up."

Kael stirred but didn’t respond, instead he caught her wrist and pulled her close so that she landed backwards, straight into his arms as he threw an arm around her to anchor her to him with a sleepy grunt. He buried his face into her neck, his arm and leg draping around her waist, tugging her into the warmth of his chest.

"Kael," she protested weakly, her voice muffled against his skin. "I’m serious. You don’t understand—they’re coming. We need to—"

But her words trailed off as he shifted and his hand splayed across her back, holding her tighter. She was practically glued to him now, her face squished against his bare chest.

She tried to wriggle free, half-heartedly mumbling another protest, but the warmth and the comforting scent of him made her pause. Inhaling deeply, she gave in, her body relaxing as she melted into him. Maybe, just for a minute, she could forget about the impending chaos. She nestled closer, snuggling closer to him, squished cheeks and all. She threw her arm aroud him and sighed deeply. She was truly in love with this man...

Smiling, she kissed his chest, since it was available to her and then nipped there lightly, playfully.

Kael stirred again, the light nip at his chest pulling him from the edges of sleep. He grumbled something unintelligible, his fingers lazily tracing circles along her back. "What was that for?" he muttered, his voice thick with sleep, but a playful edge creeping in.

Dora chuckled softly, her lips brushing against his skin again. "Just making sure you’re alive. You were awfully still for someone about to be thrown to the wolves."

"Mmm... wolves? There are no wolves in Petrovia." Kael mumbled.

"They are going to be in Petrovia tomorrow.... She wolves."

"Sounds like a problem for tomorrow." Kael sighed as he snuggled closer still, his body now awake even if his mind was not.

"Tomorrow is coming fast, Kael. Bella, Nora, and—" She hesitated, her nerves bubbling up again, but she swallowed them down. "—the others are on their way. Petrovia-bound."

Kael groaned, his face still half-buried in her neck. "The Frostie brigade? You weren’t kidding..."

Before she could say more, he’d rolled over so that she was now lying on the pillow and smiled down at her," Are you worried that they won’t like me?"

Dora shook her head," You’re likeble enough. That is not the problem...But.."

Before she could continue, Kael leaned in, kissing her lips, stealing the words from her mouth. "MMMM."

Slowly, he broke the kiss and she frowned," Hey! How could you do this! You are not being serious...they are going to be..."

Her words were stolen once again as he kissed her until she had no coherent thoughts left and could only respond to his kisses with moans of her own.

Finally, he broke the kiss but before she could fall down the worry- lane again, he quickly picked her up, carrying her to the bathroom so that they could clean up together... As he placed her on the counter top, he held her face in his hands, vowing," Stop thinking, okay? Everything will be fine...Now... kiss me before we get into the shower."

Meanwhile, the ’she-wolves’ in question had already gathered at the airport ready to fly on the small plane. As always, where there were Frosts, there wa chaos and even now, the women were already dissecting the relationship with eagle eyes.

" We really need to help balance out this relationship at the soonest." Nora muttered while she pointed to each of them! THis is all your fault, you know! If all of you had not been so lovey dovey with your husbands when she was of an impressionable age, all this would not have happened!"

Bella snorted," Talk about being lovey dovey! Hey! All that is on you! Even now! Look look... Which of us is pregnant after a decade of marriage? Only you. And who told you to get those stupid tattoos with each other.. You and Demon are the ones behind Dora’s obsession of having a perfect relationship!"

"Ha! You’re just jealous that I’m going to have little cute ones to hold in my arms while yours are already outgrowing yours!"

Olivia rolled her eyes," We’ll see who is jealous when we can gather the next time all fresh as daisies while you will be running without the essential sleep fuel!"

"Oh please! As if Demon will ever let me suffer! He’s going to start training the kid..." Nora trailed off as five pairs of smug eyes turned to look at her. Okay okay! Maybe they kind of had been a bad example for Dora, letting her think that a relationship had to be perfect... But then again, the Frosts were all perfect in their own way so it wasn’t entirely their fault.

"Alright alright! I get what you mean! Then, we promise to make sure to find the imperfections in the relationship and in the man to make sure they are perfect for each other. okay?"
