Alpha Kane
There was something special about Zara today. She wasn't usually so shy and hesitant.
The events of last night were nothing new to me, but in her mind, it was the first time she'd slept with her Alpha.
I understood her reluctance, her timid glances, and the awkwardness she must have felt by the end of the night. Maybe she accepts me as her mate. She risked her life for me.
I needed to reassure her; now that we'd crossed that threshold, I wanted her to be more open and comfortable with me. After everything she'd been through, I knew physical and emotional contact was essential for her healing, and I would be there for her in every way.
I looked up at her, and my gaze automatically slid to her desired lips. I'd love to try it like last night, but be patient. I'll wait for her to come to me.
"Sit on your back?" She asked, slightly confused, causing her cheeks to turn into cherries, the kind I wanted to bite into.
