His Plump Mate (by Buchanan) novel Chapter 251

Chapter 251

Thalia POV

I wake

up

and feel warm and protected. I snuggle a little more and I hear chuckling. I open my eyes, and I jump back with my eyes wide. Oh, my Goddess, I was practically on top of Aiden. I didn’t even feel what I was doing in my sleep. I just felt so comfortable that I slept soundly.

“I’m so sorry.” I said stammering. Goddess, how embarrassing.

“Don’t be, Thalia.” Aiden said, “We are mates. Your natural instinct is to be close to me. Your wolf feels it too, even if you don’t feel your wolf.”

“Still, I am sorry if I made you uncomfortable.”

“Last night was the best sleep of my life, Thalia. Don’t apologize.” Aiden said, “I loved having you in my arms. At the risk of sounding forward, I want you in my arms every night.”

I feel my

cheeks heat up. Where did this man come from? Seriously. He is patient and sweet to me. He’s always making sure to ask what I want, and he has already shown me that he will protect me and take care of me. I wish my life was different. I wish I could be open with him about my life. I wish I could live a different life and allow myself to be happy.

My life is a hot mess though. He will never have peace with someone like me. The thought saddens me. I’m already feeling an attachment to Aiden, and it hasn’t even been twenty-four hours.

“I’m sorry, Aiden. I can’t give you what you are hoping to get from me.” I said and I know my voice sounds broken, because I’m broken. Sure, he likes and cares for me right now, but it will fade quickly when he realizes he can’t build a life with someone like me.

“What do you think I’m hoping to get from you?” Aiden asked with a raised eyebrow.

“A happily ever after.” I said sadly, “That’s not my life though.”

I get up from bed and look for my dress. I need to go home and start getting my things together. I need to call my Tio and see if I can leave earlier. It’s better to disappear.

“First, I think you should stop questioning the Moon Goddess. She paired us together for a reason, Mojito. Second, my brother got you a clean change of clothes. We weren’t entirely sure about your size. He handed me a bag. I hope it’s okay.” He

said.

I grabbed the bag, and my bottom lip trembled. I steel my shoulders and cool my expression though. “Thank you. I will pay you back.”

“Thalia, I want to take care of you. Don’t ever worry about paying me back, okay?” Aiden said.

I see his fingers twitching. Like he is anxious. I don’t know why, but it unsettles me that he is nervous. I step closer to him, and I nervously wrap my arms around him and press my ear to his chest. I’m not good with intimacy, so this feels really foreign

to me.

I close my eyes when he wraps his arms around me. I continue to smell his scent and when I pull away, his fingers have stopped twitching. I look up at him, “Thank you for taking care of me, Aiden. I’m going to change now.”

He just looked at me lovingly. I’m not used to someone looking at me like I’m the only person to exist in the world. “Okay. I’ll be out here if you need anything.”.

I walked into the bathroom and closed the door. I decided on a shower first. I look at my face in the mirror, and my face is still a little bruised, but the swelling has gone down. I turn on the shower and let the hot water run before stepping in and letting the water touch my skin. It’s soothing and feels good, especially on my back.

Once I am finished, I step out and dry myself off and open the bag. I am a little embarrassed and impressed at the same time. Reid didn’t just buy a dress. He bought me panties and a bra and even a pair of flats. It’s an entire outfit.

Surprisingly, everything fits perfectly and the shoes are comfortable. I see a brush on the bathroom sink. It smells like Aiden. Typically, I wouldn’t use someone else’s brush, but something inside me wants his scent to linger on me. I brushed through my hair and used my finger to brush my teeth as best as possible.

When I stepped out of the bathroom, Aiden is waiting for me. “You look beautiful.” He said and my cheeks heated up again.

“Um, I’m sorry if I took too long.”

“Totally worth the wait.” He smiled. Then he got up and walked over to me. “I like your curls.”

“Oh, um, I used your brush. My hair was tangled.”
