The Forgotten Heiress novel Chapter 63

It was a beautiful home, she thought as she got off her bike and took off her helmet. His two story farm house looked newly remodeled with an amazing wrap around porch. Thinking that later on she would a chance to admire the architecture, she headed towards the door.

Half way up the steps she stopped, turned around and looked at her guards. "I'm calling the fealty card, whatever you heard after Nick left my house, keep it to yourselves." She waited until they nodded and then added. "And I think you guys should sit out here and enjoy the day. What do you think?"

They both smirked at her and nodded again, she glared at them one last time before continuing her way up the stairs. She raised her arm to knock when the door was opened and she came face to face with the set of eyes she'd seen on a certain wolf.

"You shaved."

At first he looked at her as if she was from Mars but then threw his head back and laughed when he figured out what she meant. "Yeah, I did," He threw his arms out. "So what do you think?"

Looking him up and down, she nodded approvingly. "Nice, I'm Jessica by the way." She stuck her arm out and he took it. "Glad to finally meet you."

Matt smiled at her. "Same here."

"Is Nick here?"

Matt looked over his shoulder towards the stairs. "Yeah, but are you sure you want to see him? He is not in the best of moods."

"Yeah, I'm sure." She was also sure she knew was wrong with him.

He shrugged. "OK, it's your funeral. Go on up he is in this room." He moved aside to let her pass and pointed her in the direction of Nick's room.

"Thanks, and do you mind hanging out with Axel and Christian for a while?" She asked, her face as red as a tomato, as she passed him.

"Why?"

"Just do it." She told him as she ran up the stairs.

"Is that an Alpha's order?"

She looked over her shoulder at him. "Yes it is."

"Well then your wish is my command."

"You heard me, I am ready."

She pushed herself away from the door and took a step towards him, hoping he didn't see the way her knees were shaking, threatening to give out under her.

"Stop!" He took a step back and raised his hand. "Don't."

She ignored him, knowing that it was now or never, and took another step.

"Jessica, be warned I can only hold back for so long."

She stalked him like prey and a corner of her lip quirked up when he took a stumbling step back. Jessica didn't fail to notice the hilarity in their situation. For weeks he had been doing the chasing and now that she was ready to be caught, he was turning her away out of some sense of chivalry.

"Be sure Jessica, there's no going back from this."

Nick tried to get her to see reason but she'd already made up her mind. Yet, he was right about one thing, there was no going back for her. Nick backed himself against the wall and held a hand out in front of him. Her lips twitched threatening to break out in a smile from the absurd picture they must present. A six foot something Alpha trying to hold off the advances of his five foot something mate.
