Alpha Maximus The Last Lycan novel Chapter 23

You have already made such a significant impact on Chaos. I know he has been longing for you, and things will only get better when he meets Storm."

"I'm glad Alpha Maximus found me too, and I'm so happy he has you as a friend.' I reply.

Nathan returns to his room. I close the door and walk over to the bed, unzip the suitcase of clothes, and place them neatly in the cupboard.

I zip the suitcase up and squeeze it into the bottom of the wardrobe just as Alpha Maximus comes out soaking wet with nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist.

Frozen on the spot, I admire his pecks and muscles. "Like what you see?" he asks with a playful smile.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to stare!" I blush, quickly turning to face the wall.

He spins me around against the wall and kisses me passionately. I'm at first taken by surprise, but as I feel his lips move tenderly against mine. I begin to melt. My shoulders relax, and my hands wrap around his back, pulling him closer to me. Our kiss becomes deeper. He slides his tongue inside my mouth. I'm enveloped with great desire.

We part from the kiss to catch our breath. "Hope, you can stare at me all day long if you want to.' he flirts.

My cheeks flush again, and I stare into his eyes.

"You know you're really cute and adorable when you blush.' he smiles and pecks me on the lips before backing away to get dressed. "You should relax and have a bath while I go shopping.' he smiles.

"Okay," I say, returning the smile.

"Oh, and you didn't have to do this,.' he says, pointing to the neatly placed clothing in the wardrobe.

"It's okay. I wanted to do it for you.' I tell him.

"Thank you, Hope. That was very kind of you.'

I walk past him to the bathroom and fill the tub with water. There's a small bottle of bubble bath, so I squeeze the whole lot in and watch the bubbles grow. I'm very excited and happy to have a proper bath. Unfortunately, I have only been allowed to bathe in the cold lake. I remove Alpha Maximus's oversized shirt and then my tattered dress. I slowly step in and sit down in the water. I've never had a warm bath before and never had bubbles, either. I take the face washer and remove the dirt from my face, neck and arms. Enjoying the bath, I scoop the bubbles up and blow them into the air, watching them float away.

Alpha Maximus taps on the bathroom door, "I'm back. Is it okay if I come in?" he asks.
