Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 268

“Could you not just have mindlinked him?” I suggested, realizing that all he had just done was probably not even necessary. My voice sounded so husky right now, and it hurt a little to speak. Asher faltered a little at my words, I assume, as he considered my words, before he grinned at me. The most heart-melting grin I think I have ever seen. Before he shrugged at me.

“Ah well, I fancied making a fuss.” He winked, and I found myself giggling, despite the fact it hurt. “Admittedly, I may have forgotten at that moment to mindlink, I was just so pleased to see you awake! My first thought was you.”

Oh my god, he was killing me…

‘Find me a sick bucket.’ Akira teased, evidently still choosing to pay attention despite the fact she was meant to be resting.

“Yeah?”

“Hell yeah! I have been so worried, Bailey. You have given us such a scare.” Asher whispered, and I could see the anxiousness upon his face. I hate the thought of him being worried about me. Though my mind flickers back to the conversation I thought I recalled. Had that been what it was? Him talking to me when he was worrying? Telling me how he felt?

I found myself looking up at him, my gaze penetrating, so unsure if what I was guessing could be right, as I tentatively said “Hmm, I heard.”

Asher’s eyes widened in shock, before they moved across my face like he was trying to read my feelings. Was he nervous? “You heard?” he mumbled, and I nodded slowly.
