Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 196

I couldn’t help but smile at Bailey’s response. She was the sweetest little thing. Even after the amount we had spoken lately, and the time we had spent together, she still found herself blushing at the thought of telling me what she wanted to do… I have to say I found it incredibly endearing. But, at the same time, I was glad that her wolf had helped me out by telling Zion what was going on, or I would have been clueless. Maybe I was as bad as her at all this… no, not bad, because she was far from bad… inexperienced? I know I was out of practice…

Bailey moved ahead of me toward our rooms, and I only hoped she wasn’t too embarrassed that she chose to go and hide out in her room, because I planned to take her to my room. I rushed to join her, and took her by the hand. Knowing that while she may be embarrassed, I wanted her to feel comfortable. I wanted her to want to be with me.

“I am guessing Akira was not meant to say anything?” I whispered into her ear, as I stood behind her, as we stood close to the door of my Beta suite, and Bailey turned to look at me quickly, giving me a dark, unimpressed look. Looking like she was ready to flee. “Hey, come on, I am teasing.” I gently poked her in her side, as I moved around her to unlock the door, ensuring my hand did not leave hers, as I led her into my home.

“It isn’t funny.” She warned me. “My wolf is locked away now. Forever if she carries on!”

I couldn’t help but laugh. I swear Akira and Zion sound so much alike. Akira appeared to torture Bailey as much as Zion did me, perhaps it was one of the reasons they got along so well. Because Zion had barely stopped telling me how great she was… not that I needed another reason to find Bailey amazing. But the fact my wolf had a connection to hers was something else…

“She is like Zion, he does this sort of stuff all the time to me.” I told her as I closed the door. “But this is me Bailey, you don't need to be embarrassed around me. Just be you. Because I think you are pretty damn perfect as you are. Though I am a little disappointed about the chocolate sauce now.” I said with a raised brow, and her cheeks flushed, making me smile. She definitely got embarrassed too easily with me. Hopefully, that would change over time, and make her a little braver. She had let me see little moments of bravery here and there, but maybe as she became more comfortable that side of her would come out more. I couldn't wait...

“You know what?” she said to me, her eyes focused on me, as she was resting against the wall, and I looked at her with curiosity, wondering what she wanted to tell me. “I think you might be enjoying this a little too much.” She pouted at me from across the hallway, and I quickly made my way to her, so desperate to have my hands on her again.

I slipped my hands around her waist, lowering my head to hers, resting my forehead on hers. “Me?” I muttered. “And why would I be enjoying it?”
