The Ugly Rejected Duckling novel Chapter 18

The next morning, I woke up to the sunlight hitting my face as usual, but the only difference was that I wasn't in my room. I was in my mate's room, in his arms. As a morning routine, I had the urge to pee. I tried wiggling out of Kevin's arms, but they only tightened more.

"Uh, Kevin?" I whispered, trying not to sound rude.

"Yeah, babe?" He muttered in his sexy, sleepy voice.

"I have to go to the bathroom," I said, and he huffed before taking his arm back and setting me free.

I scurried to the bathroom and after finishing my business, I came out to find Kevin missing. I walked outside and downstairs towards the kitchen.

There he was, by the stove (shirtless I must mention) cooking something delicious by the smell but I couldn't help but drool over his back which was perfectly sculpted and muscled.

I heard him chuckle and assumed that he knew I was checking him out.

"Like what you see?" He said, making me blush like a tomato.

I didn't answer and quietly sat on one of the island stools there. Soon enough he came to me with a plate with 4 pancakes on it. The pancake was topped with chocolate chips and chocolate syrup.

"Thank you," I politely said.

He chuckled, "You're always welcome, sweetness."

I blushed but quickly dug into the pancakes to hide my blush.

"Zoey, would you like to go shopping today?"

"Sure, I'd love to," I said, and he just nodded.

"This place is huge!" I exclaimed as we entered the mall through the large glass automatic sliding doors with cool air exiting from inside and hitting my face.

"Haven't you been to a mall before?" Kevin asked cocking an eyebrow.

My cheeks flushed, "uh, no," I muttered, and he nodded, understanding my past.

"So, where do you want to go first?" He asked and I shrugged.

"I don't know, take me wherever."
