Her CEO Stalker and Her Second Chance Mate (Adelaide) novel Chapter 127

Chapter 128

I had expected her excitement, but not the joy on her face. It was breathtaking. When she ran

into the meadow, I wasn’t sure what I was witnessing as I followed her. Joy as pure as it could

come radiated from her, and when she wanted more from me, there was no way I could say no

to her. Had the grass and flowers been shorter, I still would have done it. I shook my head at

myself as she righted her clothes and smoothed down her dress. I liked this side of her, the

jubilant happiness that could only be infectious while in her presence. I zipped up my pants.

Willing my dick to behave as I grabbed my hat off the ground where it had fallen when I

plopped down beside her.

It struck me as I watched her walk back up to our bikes. I didn’t remember ever being this

happy since I was a kid. Her joy was mine, and I’d do anything to keep it alive and keep the

phantoms that tormented her at bay.

“You good to head over to the fair?” I asked giving her a peck on the cheek before hopping on

my own bike.

“Yeah, Lana is complaining she’s bored, Mazzie is stuck on parking duty. She doesn’t want to

eat her weight in funnel cake and corn dogs alone. And she had to be there early to help set

up the tasting contests.”

Since when did Lana start volunteering for stuff? I shook my head, and we headed off to the

fair. Mazzie was on parking duty because she took my spot, and that made me responsible for

Lana’s entertainment. I don’t know if Mazzie told Lana, but I suspected they seldom kept too

many secrets. However, I was pretty sure a lot of what Briar and Lana talked about didn’t make

it back to Mazzie. Briar needed Lana, and therefore Lana needed to hold Briar’s trust. Mazzie

understood that I was certain. The scare of Creedon’s flowers had been enough to tell her

what kind of male he was by her reaction.

Mazzie jogged away from her post as we passed her, waving and parked side by side amidst the

other bikes.

“Nice ride, Briar!” she said enthusiastically.

“Thanks, Uncle Jake knew how to pick them,” Briar said, her tone wasn’t as excited, rather

more introspective as she turned the key, shutting the bike off, and ran a finger over the

painted dragonfly on the gas tank.

“Guess you’re riding solo on the next moonlight ride,” Mazzie said cheerfully.

Briar glanced at me. I grinned at her as I got off the bike, adjusting my hat.

“That sounds great, I really enjoyed the last one.”

My mind went back to the better part of that night and how Briar had joined the other girls

howling at the moon. It had been great, well, besides Miranda, until Creedon left those flowers

at her door. That reminded me of what else we were doing here. Coming face–to–face with my

Alpha. My wolf bristled. That was new. Mazzie took an inhale and grinned, eyes darting

between inme and Briar. She gave me an ‘I want details, later,‘ look. I rolled my eyes at her.

Mazzie let us know to find Lana by the vendor booths, and she would catch up when her shift.
