I don’t sleep early tonight. In fact, I stay up, waiting for him. For Aroumey Kar
For him.
After everything I heard, everything I learned, all that’s been running through any mind to the case the buxome’s shocking, learning such a thing.
Midnight. That’s when Kovas told me he’ll come here. Aron knows I’ll be adery by then, hence betontwer later at night. Like he has been since the past week. Even after everything, I still don’t undered day evening me
What will avoiding me do? Make him feel better? Probably, But then what
When the clock strikes twelve, I hear steps cross by the hallway and then sayya wowood mo room and stay still for a few moments. Then, when it’s been more than ten mines and I assume te’s sented in t probably comfortable.
Vulnerable. That’s what I’m supposed to make him feel. That’s what will work. Only thing that will woa Cola assuming.
If he’s not back to being–Aron, he’s going to take more packs, and kill more Alphas war the Noch is under sig Tits not a good idea. No. Even Kovas knows it’s not a good idea. Even a run like me knows it’s a good dea
I step into my closet and grab a robe to cover up myself with, wrapping it around my body tightly before I walk out of my room and toward Aron’s bedroom.
I don’t knock on it. Not like he’ll open it for me if I do. Instead, I let myself in And to my surprise, he’s not in his te
My eyes quickly trace around the room to look for him, but all I see is his coat draped over the sofa and his dates on the cushion. Shit. He’s in the shower. I realize that almost immediately when I hear the sound of water
Taking a deep breath, I quietly make my way into the room. It’s cold inside his room, so cold fat I could actually freeze Perhaps Kael likes the cold.
I take a few steps toward the bathroom, where I had been once before and never again. But here I am again. After all frat
The door is slightly open, the same as last time, but this time, no steam has collected around the space inside
“Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping?” The sound of his voice makes me jump. And I nearly do.
I step inside the bathroom and walk toward the end, where he is–in the stone tub, watching the dark skies ahead. He doesn’t look at me until I’m in front of him, blocking his view of the skies. And then he looks
“You marked me,” I say, now knowing who I’m talking to.
“I’m aware.”
“What if it went wrong? What if something happened to me?”
“Nothing did.”
“But what if-*

I purse my lips after that. Kovas was right about one thing. There’s no point in fighting or arguing with Kael because he’s too smart. Somehow, he knew the mark wouldn’t do anything to me. Somehow. And it didn’t. It wasn’t luck. No. There’s something else, but he won’t tell me.
His eyes linger on me as I stand near the bathtub, unmoving and rooted to my spot. I’m not sure what I should be doing or saying. This plan seemed so good a few hours ago, but now I realize it’s going to be difficult to put it into motion.
He slightly tilts his head, sighing heavily, “What do you want, Rhea?” He questions.
I clear my throat, thinking hard, thinking fast. “You marked me,” My hands reach for the tie around my waist, and my fingers undo the knot. “You should complete the mating.”
Before he has a chance to answer, the silk of my robe falls over the ground at my feet, and suddenly, I’m standing bare and completely vulnerable before him.
His eyes roam over me. From my neck down to my legs and feet and back to my breasts again. A chill settles over my skin. and a shiver runs through me. Goosebumps.
He leans forward in the bathtub, bringing his hands over the edges before rising up. When he stands before me, completely naked and exposed, it hits me.
My heart jumps in my chest, but my throat closes tight, making it hard to breathe. I stare at him, my eyes wandering from his broad chest, toned with muscle, and his abs, lined up perfectly. Droplets fall down from the tips of his hair, down to his shoulders, collarbone, and over his chest, tracing lower and lower with each passing second.
He takes slow steps toward me until he’s right in front of me. His tall frame looms over my small one, making me seem insignificant compared to him.
I narrow my eyes to his chest, unable to meet his eyes, afraid of what I’ll find.
His fingers trace down my arms, raising the hair at the back of my neck, causing a soft gasp to fall past my lips.
I dare a glance and find him already staring.
“You don’t know what you’re asking for,” he tells me softly, letting his thumb brush lightly against the top of my lip, “Do you?”
Yes, I do. Of course I do.
I swallow thickly before nodding.
I think. I hope.
His hands slide over my waist, sending heat through my body while pulling me close and lowering his mouth to the base of my ear, inhaling deep. “Tell me you want this.”
“I–I-”
His lips move down, slowly planting feathered kisses on my heated skin.
“I-
“Say it,” he whispers, and my toes curl. “Rhea.” Another kiss and then his hands grasping my butt, holding tight, pressing my hips against his own, forcing me to feel all of him, his hardness, the size of him.
God. Oh, god.

“Aron,” I whimper.
He lifts his face, meeting my gaze. “Say it.”
“Yes.”
“What do
you want?”

“Y–you,” My words choke up in my throat when I feel his hand slip between my thighs, grazing lightly against my sex as it did before. “I want this. Please.”
