Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108 – Bailey
I am shocked by Asher’s sudden shift in personality. I am ready to send a search party out for the dark, mean and moody Beta I had so often encountered as he playfully teased me, taking my hands away from my face as I tried to hide my embarrassment at my own words. I had spoken without thinking, but I had noticed that seemed to be happening more and more lately when I was around him…
Though this time I had truly embarrassed myself… and was desperate for him not to be looking at me. Hearing him laughing was bad enough. He had my hands almost pinned either side of my head, and my whole body felt alive to his touch right now as he looked down at me. “Oh no, I don’t think we will. I think I quite like the naughty side of you.” he murmured, taking me by surprise, as his lips moved toward mine.
He was so gentle as his lips caressed mine, careful too, that his body was not pressing onto mine, but this suddenly felt an awful lot more intimate than it had when we were kissing outside… we were in my bed… maybe this was moving too fast… but it felt good…
I ran my hand through his hair, pulling him a little closer to me, allowing him to deepen the kiss. His tongue finding mine once more. I felt the urgency within our kissing shift, as Asher teased at my lips and tongue with his own, sending a shiver of pleasure throughout my body. I don’t think I had realized I had wanted him like this…
I lowered my hand to slip it under his shirt, he gasped at the

touch of my hand upon his hard abs, as my fingertips gently traced the warm skin underneath Asher’s body tensed under my touch, as he moaned, before pulling away from me, sitting himself up suddenly. He looked awkward. “I think we should stop.” He whispered, awkwardly chewing his lower lip, seeming to avoid my gaze.
What had happened? His touch had felt so good… I am not sure that I had wanted him to stop… I know that is wrong. This was all so fast… but it felt right. It felt good…
“Okay.” I nodded, sitting myself up, pulling down my tank top that had begun to ride up.
Asher was sitting on the edge of my bed, meaning I was trapped, and I watched him as he dropped his head into his hands, while his elbows rested upon his knees, his hands running through his thick dark hair. He hadn’t said a word for quite some time, and the awkward silence was making me feel so uncomfortable.
‘Is his wolf okay?’ I reached out to Akira for help, knowing they were now communicating kind of helped.
‘Yep. All him.’ Okay, so that didn’t help.
‘Does he know what is wrong with him?’ I probed, hoping she may be able to give me a little more than she actually had.
But she was quiet. I knelt up on the bed, leaning over to try to place my hand on Asher’s shoulder, getting my foot caught in the blanket as I did, sending myself stumbling forward, and in doing so, I nearly fell off the edge of the bed. Wow! Nothing like making a show of myself…

Thankfully, Asher quickly reacted, putting his arms out, and stopping me. “Woah, what are you doing?!” he chuckled. “Gymnastics isn’t really for the bed you know?”
‘Depends if you are incorporating it into other things.’ Akira giggled.
I flushed at her suggestion, but did not acknowledge her. I did not need that thought in my mind. I looked up at Asher and smiled. “I know, I was coming to see if you were okay, and I got caught up in the blanket is all.”
He softly placed me back on the bed, though he pulled me close to him in doing so. “Why would I not be okay?”
“You rushed away. I thought I might have done something wrong. And you looked a little stressed.” I explained.
Asher looked at me with a nervous smile. “Aww, beautiful. Trust me, you did nothing wrong. You were doing all the right things, that was the problem.” He looked at me with his brow raised, as if to try to indicate something, and I flushed when I realized what he might be meaning. “I stopped then, because if I didn’t, I was not sure whether I would be able to stop. I don’t want you to regret this, Bailey.”
The butterflies in my belly were going at full force now, as was my heart. He was the sweetest…
“And as for looking stressed, I was worried I pushed you too far. tam a whole bag of mixed up feelings right now, if I am honest,
Bailey, but this has hit me like a f**g freight train.”
I looked at him in shock. “I’m that bad?”

He laughed. “Okay, maybe not the best thing to compare it to. Look, I never claimed to be the next Shakespeare, okay? What I meant was that all this came so out of the blue. The feelings. Wanting you… it wasn’t what I expected. But then I am wanting you more than I thought possible…” he sighed, his head dropping.
I placed my hand upon his chest. “Look, I understand and trust me, ‘I feel the same. This is not what I expected either. But, how about this, we don’t need to think about it? Don’t need to explain it or understand it? Just see what happens? That way you aren’t putting added pressure on yourself. We can just enjoy ourselves.”
I watched as his face broke into a smile. “I think that sounds good.” He softly kissed the top of my head.
“But, just so you know, I don’t think I would ever regret it.” I whispered as I moved my mouth next to his ear, and his eyes widened a little at my words. “And I definitely don’t think I wanted you to stop.” I added with a smile, as I feel his heart rate picking up under my hand upon his chest.
