Chapter 132
He doesn’t give chase.
I’m not sure if I’m relieved or
disappointed.
After the initial shock and fear passed, the reality of his words sank in…and it
was HOT.
I’ve never been wanted like this before.
Never had any man-let alone an Alpha
like-Aaron-desire me to the point of
madness.
It’s heady and a seduction all its own.
It makes me want to strip down in front
of him, touch myself and dare him to
take me. Any way he wants to.
But I deny that urge.
It’s only passion talking. And I need to listen to my mind. Not my heart or body.
Our relationship is too tenuous and
what he is proposing…I’m not sure why
or what it might mean. And I’m already
a pariah in the paranormal world as a
human Alpha. I can only imagine the
fallout that would transpire if I was
mated to Aaron.
That would not bode well for him.
I’d be too much of a liability.
Once mated, the lives of wolves are
intertwined. The souls bound together.
And since I’m dying… such an act would
be a death sentence to him.
He can’t die. He needs to live. He needs
to take care of our baby.
I caress my stomach as I stare at the
lavish gowns and lingerie spread out in
this bedroom.
I need to tell him. Tonight.
The undergarments are silk and the pricetags are ridiculous. These are scraps of clothing, really, not much
material at all. I can’t fathom how they
can charge so much for nothing.
I debate not wearing any-that would
surprise him-but the allure of such
decadent panties and bras is not
something I want to pass up.
I settle on a black matching set that has trailing chains of Swarovski gems and tie knots at the hips. Maybe he’ll actually
untie these instead of ripping them off my body.
The bra is my size, or normally would
be, but as my pregnancy progresses, my breasts are larger and they bulge over the demi cups. I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror.
My curves are more pronounced, my hips and breasts are fuller than they were just a week ago. My body is
changing and I like it. I like seeing the
physical evidence that life is growing
inside of me.
I pick a dress. This time, I go with wh ite.
It’s floor-length with a plunging neckline and a slit up one thigh that shows off almost my whole leg when I walk in it.
There are heels too.
My, but he thought of everything.
I don’t know much about designers but I recognize the red bottoms of Louboutin
heels, and i slide those on my feet.
Aaron has rigid control. His emotions
reined in so I’m never really sure what
he’s thinking or feeling. He made it clear
today that he wants me.
And I’m going to test just how badly.
With what little time I have left, I won’t deny myself or him.
I can’t mate him-but I can claim his
body.
He’s in for a surprise tonight…one he
won’t forget.
There’s a knock on the door. “Leah?”
I unlock the door and open it.
Aaron’s eyes flash pure gold, then he
reaches for me…
