Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105 – Asher
I stretched lazily, relishing the warmth of the bed. That had to be the best night’s sleep I have had in a long time… When suddenly I was aware of a movement next to me, and before I was able to open my eyes, I felt a hard thud to my chest, like a fist impacting it. Putting me on edge instantly, and causing me to jump suddenly. But, my senses are filled with the scent of Bailey messing with my mind…
“Asher!” Bailey snapped, before I had even opened my eyes.
Oh, **it… the realization hit me as memories of last night flooded my mind.
‘Oh who has been a naughty boy!’ Zion sniggered.
‘Not helpful!’ I warned him.
I pried my eyes open, trying to adjust my eyes to the brightness of the sunshine glaring into the room, which meant it was more than likely already well past the time I was due to be starting the pack run. Caleb was going to be annoyed with me! Feigning sickness may be my only option…
As my eyes adjusted, I saw a very angry-looking Bailey glaring back at me. “Why are you in my bed?!”
“Keeping you warm?” I suggested with a playful grin, but, going off the dark stare I received in return, my attempt at being playful had failed. I was definitely out of practice.
“Seriosuly Asher?”

“Bailey, please, this is going to sound so bad, but we were talking, you fell asleep, and as I went to lay you in bed, you kind of pulled me down with you, and was too tired to fight back.” I explained, knowing how ridiculous I sounded.
Zion was laughing so hard within my mind. ‘Too tired to fight back?! You are a Beta, you sap! Why not say you fancied seeing if she made a good bed buddy? See if she was the big spoon or the little spoon?’
‘Piss off Zion.’ I snarled. My wolf was seriously p**g me off
now.
‘Best sleep ever though, right?’ he said, and I hate to admit he was right, that probably was one of the best sleeps we had had in a long time. I had expected us to be disturbed by nightmares like we so frequently were during the night. I planned to return to my room when that happened, but instead, nothing came. It seems I slept like a bl**dy baby, and instead I found myself in this awkward predicament. One which is seemingly landing me in a lot of trouble!
“I did not pull you into bed.” Bailey rolled her eyes, completely dismissing my suggestion she had h**d her arms around me. I am pretty sure that was exactly what had happened… I felt my ego take a slight hit, and how offended she seemed by the thought…
“Is that such a bad idea?” I teased her, resting my head upon my elbow, so I was facing her, and her cheeks flushed, she looked quite adorable. A shiver of pleasure ran through me… I think I quite enjoy teasing Bailey… her reactions make me smile. I allowed my eyes to drift slowly down her body, wishing she was in a little less now than her pajamas…

“Asher.” Her voice held a warning tone.
“Hmm?” I allowed my hand to slide to her waist, pulling her close to me, which, when laid down on the bed, felt somewhat strange, but hell, it felt good. I had been doubting everything between us. I had believed I should be alone, but now I had her next to me like this, had felt her lips upon mine, I think I know what I want.
“Why is Zion telling Akira you didn’t want to leave?”
My eyes raised to meet hers. That was not quite the truth. I think my wolf was stirring s**t here. So much for having my back, the little f**ker. “I think he likely means he didn’t want to. He enjoys her company.” I grasped for explanations, as I allowed my fingers to trace over the hem of her tank top, and I felt her shiver under my touch. I held back a smile, wondering how she would react to my fingers upon her skin, if that was how she reacted to me touching her over her clothes…
“You could easily have got out of my bed. You know that, right?” She was scowling again. Wow, she was not about to go easy on me today…
“Hmm, I guess. And, it isn’t like I didn’t intend to, because I did.” I explained, but her narrowed eyes told me she didn’t believe a word I was telling her. “Seriously, stop looking at me like that, Miss Grumpy Pants. I planned to sneak out of the bed once you were settled. I didn’t want to wake you, so I waited a while. But I fell asleep, and only just woke up, I am sorry, okay?” I looked at her pleadingly. “It isn’t like we are naked.” I added with a cheeky smile.
I saw her cheeks flush once more, and I chuckled, as my heart pounded at her response. “What’s wrong, Bailey?” I softly

stroked her face. “You getting all hot and flustered at the thought of us naked together?”
Mentioning it was making me think about it now… I felt a hot sensation rush across my own body as the thought crossed my own mind. ‘Never mind her getting hot and flustered, I think we are.’ Zion chuckled. Thing is, I think he is right.
“Stop it.” She pushed me away slightly, and I felt bad now for making her feel uncomfortable.
“Sorry.” I looked at her with a smile, apologetically. This was all so new to me. I had girlfriends before Isla, but back then I was a teenage boy. Then there was Isla, and that had been for such a short time. There has been nobody since. I had isolated myself. Put my guards up, thinking it was betraying my mate. I felt a tightness in my heart at the thought of Isla.
‘Stop.’ Zion said gently. ‘You hurt yourself thinking those things.’
Bailey sighed deeply, dragging my attention back to her. “It just seems weird is all.” She shrugged. “And I still think you could easily have got away from me last night.”
“Maybe a part of me didn’t want to.” I shrugged, and her face broke into a beautiful smile. Her smile was incredibly beautiful. Lighting up her delicate features.
“So Zion was right?” she questioned and I shrugged again.
“I don’t even know if I am coming or going, beautiful.”
She giggled a little before speaking. “I would like to think you’d know if you are coming.” Bailey said with a wink, and I laughed.

“Oh, is that so?” I found myself asking with a shake of my head, shocked at her forwardness. “Not so sweet and innocent really are you?” I softly placed a kiss upon her forehead, unable to hold back my smile because of her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
“Okay, we will forget I said that.” she whispered, covering her face with her hands.
I gently removed her hands from her face so they were now pinned either side of her face, and I found myself leaning over her, looking down on her. “Oh no, I don’t think we will. I think I quite like the naughty side of you!” I said to her, as I lowered my lips to meet hers.
