He reached for my hand, and pulled me toward him, so all I could smell was his spicy, manly scent. My head and heart felt like it wanted to explode as he lowered his mouth to my ear and whispered. “I was tempted to wait for you naked, but I was worried somebody might walk by and see…”
My eyes widened in shock as my cheeks heated at his words and he chuckled as he looked at me. “Aww, did I embarrass you Morgan?” he softly ruffled my hair. “If you want to be my girl, you best get used to the thought of me naked, I like being naked, and I expect a lot of things…” he wiggled his brows suggestively, narrowing his eyes as if to portray some hidden meaning, and for a moment I was a little scared.
Miles suddenly turned his back on me and walked into the gazebo and sat on the seating within it, looking up at me. “Don’t just stand there then. You are getting pretty boring, pretty quickly Morgan. I am beginning to remember why I finished things, I think…” he chewed his lower lip angrily, and I began to panic.
Is that why he ended it with me? Because I was boring? No, I didn’t want that. Nor did I want to be a disappointment to him. Any girl given this choice would do exactly as the upcoming Alpha asked of her. This was the most desired man in our pack. Of course, I do as he wants. Even if I am a little unsure. He knows what he is doing. I have known him for all of my life, he would never hurt me…
I quickly went to join him on the seating, and smiled at him, trying hard to act confident. “So, you glad to be home?” I asked, and I realized the moment I said it how stupid I was, because the look of sheer disgust upon his face spoke a thousand words.
“Oh no, I fancied spending another few months there really. Treatment is like a fucking holiday. Shit, Morgan, think before you speak, will you?” he rolled his eyes, turning away from me. And instantly I felt so small and irrelevant to him. Was this how he made Bailey feel?
“Sorry.” I muttered.
“Whatever.” He grunted. “Do you have your sister's new number?” he suddenly demanded, taking me by surprise.
