Nan nodded; he did come all this way, after all. It was only right that he was allowed to sleep on the couch.
“It pulls out,” she told him.
He seemed to have relaxed. He soon cleared his throat and turned to her.
“First aid kit?” He asked as he headed towards the bathroom.
“It’s behind the door,” she said softly, sitting on her bed.
Chester returned a moment later with the first aid kit in hand. He grabbed what he needed and sat beside her. His eyes were dark with anger as he cleaned up her lip and applied a cream on her swollen cheek.
The silence stretched on, making Nan uncomfortable.
She tried to avoid looking into his eyes, but he was so close to her that it couldn’t have been helped.
“Who was that guy?” he finally asked after what felt like an eternity of silence.
“A distraction,” she whispered without hesitation. “But he went crazy.”
He didn’t reply right away; he allowed her words to sink in fully before he nodded slowly.
“Did you sleep with him?”
Nan’s eyes snapped back to his.
“Why does it matter?” She asked.
“Because you’re my mate—”
“You’ve slept with any woman that walks by you!” Nan practically shouted. “So again, I ask… why does it matter who I sleep with?”
A low growl escaped his lips at her words.
He knew he was wrong for being upset because she was right. He wasn’t a big fan of monogamy, and he made that quite clear to anyone and everyone, including his mate. He dates women, leads them on, sleeps with them, and never calls them back. Harper was the only one he truly spent more than one night with. Now he had a mate, and things were confusing for everyone involved.
He spent the past week trying to convince Harper to let him go, but she doesn’t seem willing to do so. He had a moment of weakness one of the nights last week and slept with her, telling himself that it would only be one more time. It seemed to have set Harper off, though, and she’s adamant about keeping him in her life romantically because she’s “in love with him…” her words.
Chester made it clear he couldn’t be with her after he woke up the next morning riddled with guilt. His wolf was miserable without Nan. Judy told him where they were going to be before they left, and he went straight there. The only issue was he didn’t have Judy’s room number, so he had to ask the front desk clerk.
