Bad Love: An Alpha's Regret (Leah and Aaron) novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 

2/5 

When I go in, I see that he has started a fire in the hearth and 

he’s laid out a thick blanket on the floor in front of it. 

The smell of woodsmoke is both soothing and familiar. 

The cabin has a bed against the opposite wall. A loft with 

another sleeping area and what appear to be closets on

He pulls his shirt over his head. 

Of all the outcomes I was anticipating-murder, punishment, 

abandonment-this wasn’t what I expected. 

“Uhhh.” 

Aaron laughs.

me more nervous. 

“You’ve seen me without clothes a few times before, Leah.” 

Understatement. 

4/5 

“Yes,” I clear my throat. “I guess I was expecting us to argue or talk, not to, uhh…” 

His hands go to his pants and he steps out of those. 

I’m angry and hurt and I want to cut into him about what he’s
