The Beta's Regret (Eden and Eros) novel Chapter 231

(Eden’s Pov)

I could feel the ray of sunlight on my face as I slowly came into consciousness.

My eyes opened slightly, and I closed them again with a slight groan as I placed my right hand against my face in an attempt to block the sunlight from my eyes.

I opened it again and slowly sat up.

It felt like there were pins attached to my body. I ached all over, but I tried hard to hold in a groan.

I looked around.

Where was I? Nothing looked familiar.

My eyes finally settled on someone.

It was Ryker.

He just watched me, with a lazy smile on his face.

His eyes fell on my body, and he chuckled. With a frown, I tried to find what he found funny, and that was when I noticed that I was not in the same clothes I wore last night.

Someone had changed my clothes to a thick nightgown that was almost see-through.

I quickly crossed my arms over my body in mortification, and Ryker laughed.

My eyes widened in terror as I felt repulsed.

“Did you… did you change my clothes?” I asked. I hoped he would tell me no.

Ryker raised a brow in surprise.

“Don't you remember?” He asked.

Fear gripped me. “Remember what?” The last thing I wanted was Ryker seeing me naked.

“Last night. It was great!” He smiled.

At first, I frowned. Confused. But when he gave a suggestive look at my body, I gasped and quickly grabbed the bed covers to hide my body.

For a moment, I stared at him in shock.

Ryker shrugged and grinned.

“What do you mean?” I finally whispered.

Ryker swiped a hand over his hair with a deep sigh.

“How could you have forgotten what we did so quickly? After we had such an amazing night!”

Unable to bear the emotions I held any longer, I sprang up and grabbed the bed covers along with me. I backed away until my back touched the wall, and I looked at Ryker in shock.

Ryker tried hard to hold in a laugh, but it didn’t take long. He suddenly bent over and started laughing hard. When he straightened up, he used a finger to clean the tears from beneath his eyes.

I wasn't sure what he found funny, but I didn't let my guard down.

Did I sleep with Ryker? I must have been insane.

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that I would ever sleep with Ryker.

“Come on, don't be so uptight; that was just a joke. Nothing happened between us.” Ryker said.

I narrowed my gaze at him in disbelief.

“What?” Ryker asked.

“Are you sure?” I asked my hold on the bed sheet tightened.

Ryker rolled his eyes again. “I might be a horrible person to your mate, but one thing I'm not is a man that takes advantage of women, especially when they are most vulnerable.”

“That's very strange coming from you.” I said.

Ryker shrugged. “I'm not going to force you to believe.”

I looked down. “What about the clothes? Who changed me?”
