“You’re too tense,” he tells me. “I could help with that.”

There’s no mistaking his meaning. I can feel the heat of his stare and I know what he’s thinking about. My gaze drops, and I can see that he’s as turned on as it gets.

Holy hell. That’s one monster of a cock hiding in those jeans.

I swallow as I look back up to find him smiling down at me.

“If there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s helping my mates to relax.”

His mates. I guess I’m almost one of them.

I bite on my lower lip.

It’s the single most tempting offer I’ve ever had.

“I’m sure you’re very attentive,” I murmur back.

And I’m certain I’m going to let him kiss me.

Wherever things go after that, I’ll leave up to fate.

I’m done fighting my attraction to these men.

“Will you let me show you how attentive I can be?” he asks softly.

I nod, and he leans in, lifting me up and placing me down on the table.

I push the pen and papers to the ground and look back up at him.

His smile deepens. “Did you enjoy that?”

“I did, but I’m going to enjoy this way more.”

“I would hope so,” he remarks as he leans in to kiss me.

I wrap my arms around his neck as I kiss him back, a thrill running through me at the touch of his lips on mine. My entire body reacts to him, making me desperate and needy for more.

I have a feeling my dry spell is about to be broken, and I couldn’t be happier.

Chapter Eighty-Two

Enzo

Beth has been nervous around me since we met. Even when she walked in on me in a vulnerable position, knotting my Omega, I could tell she was intimidated.

That night at The Terrace, she was almost afraid to get close to me.

I’ve given her no reason to be nervous in terms of my behavior.

It’s my size, and my demeanor, in equal measure, and I know it.

I’m not blind to my reality. People always find me tough to approach or interact with, which in general is a plus considering the only ones I really want to spend time with are my pack.

It’s not a good thing when it comes to this woman.

She’s been staring a little more today, making it obvious she’s attracted.

At the same time, she’s been more flustered around our interactions.
