Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 399

399-Sex Is Not Fun Anymore

We returned home and followed the same schedule as every day. I changed and instantly got into the kitchen to cook dinner for us while he took a little rest and planned to leave for a run after dinner.

"How is the lasagna?" I asked him, watching him shove his mouth with a spoonful and not even waiting to swallow the previous bite.

"It's good," he answered, scrolling through his phone at the same time.

"I was thinking—," I cleared my throat, adjusting in the seat. The dining room was vast, with only the two of us in it. It always made me feel lonelier here because Lazio would barely talk about anything.

I have decided to make the first move and maybe try to connect. It's been so long since we have been awkward with each other.

"How about I take a run with you today?" I smiled, watching him swallow with difficulty and stare at my face in silence.

"You don't have a wolf. You will not be able to keep up with me," he whispered, trying to be careful with his words.

"I know, but what if I try hard and maybe someday she wakes up?" I rubbed my palms excitedly when talking about Nia. I have missed her a lot. It was because of her that I felt so lonely. When I had her, no matter what state I used to be in, I felt at ease. But now I didn't have anyone to talk to.

"Oh! Okay. You can try that," he replied very tiredly. It almost broke my freshly gained confidence.

"I was thinking maybe you would help me retrieve my wolf inside me?" I pressed my lips tightly into a straight line and gave him an awkward smile.

"I would love to, but you can see I am so busy these days. And it's not like you need a wolf anyway, you have an alpha mate. I can take care of you just fine," he shrugged, stealing eyes from me. He knew this was not why I needed my wolf.

I just wanted my confidence back. Lately, I have been looking around and feeling like I am invisible. There are times when anyone hardly notices me. Especially my own mate.

"Valerie seems very committed to her work." Now that it was clear he didn't care about helping me get my wolf back, I brought up the topic of his assistant.

"Oh, she is. I have never seen a girl so passionate and good at following orders. It is because of her that I got such a good grasp over the business in such a short time," he complimented her. His face lit up when talking about her.
