Page 60 of The Alpha's Sold Pregnant Mate

“Thank you for the incredible sex last night.” She looked into his black eyes with gratitude flickering in hers.

“Anything for you.” He rolled her over so suddenly that she squealed. He climbed on top of her naked body and tickled her while she gave a genuine laugh.

“Last night was spontaneous. I didn't see it coming,” she said to him, “Thank you.”

He smiled, kissed her lips, and dragged her out of bed. “Come on.”

She laughed, standing naked before him. “Where are we going?”

He looked at her body and appreciated her slender figure and her perky breasts for a moment.

“We're going to take a shower.” He grabbed her hand, and they headed to the bathroom.

They stepped under the shower, and he twisted the knob. As water rained over his body, Esme soon joined him, and he took his time to wash her body, covering every single inch.

With his soapy hands, he grabbed her breasts and fondled them with a slippery friction. Asher watched her shut her eyes, enjoying his actions, which he knew were turning her on and also helping her relax.

He pulled her closer as they both stood beneath the shower, water trickling down their bodies. His skin was against hers, and he felt the tenderness of her breasts on his chest.

She grabbed his cock and gently stroked it, gliding over it with her soapy hands while his clean fingers were finding their way up inside her entrance.

They kissed under the shower, and Asher carefully pushed her back to the wall. He raised one of her legs and slipped inside her as she moaned.

He moved, grinding slowly and deeply into her wetness while she was moaning softly in ecstasy. He fondled her breasts and engaged her in a passionate kiss even as he continued to plunge into her.

She held on to him very tightly and smiled sweetly when he groaned, releasing his load inside her. She sighed satisfactorily as he pulled out and grinned at her.

He stared into her eyes for a while before pulling her back directly under the shower as she squealed at the abrupt move.

Despite the incident with the crops when Esme had that outburst of mana, the Pack still didn't hate her as she had thought they would.

Asher, together with the help of Elder William, made sure that the people understood that that event was not her fault and that it was out of her control at the time.

Esme remained indoors for the next two days, afraid to come out and show her face. It took a lot of cajoling on his end before she finally decided to step outside.

After they were done showering that day, he told her that she needed some fresh air even though she had tried to convince him that the windows were open, and that fresh air wasn't a problem.

“It'll be good for you,” he had said to her.

“But I don't want to,” she grumbled.

“I'm not taking no for an answer.”

She saw the seriousness in his face and asked her pet squirrel for permission. He stood there, leaning against the wall as he thought about how cute she looked, talking to that animal.

After much deliberation, she claimed that the squirrel said it was okay for her to go.

Asher smiled and waited for her to get dressed. When she was done, they stepped out together, and she held on to him tightly, shying away from passersby.

As they turned into the street, they were welcomed warmly with a round of applause. His people cheered Esme on, hailing her and calling her wonderful names like; the Queen of Nature, Lady of the Leaf and Thorn, Guardian of the Green, and Mistress of the Ghostbound Lands.

Their praises were so touching that she almost shed tears.

Later that same day, the villagers came over to the house with baskets full of offerings, including different fruits and crops that they had harvested. The gifts covered one-third of her room, and out of the abundance of her heart, she blessed them.

Elder William spent a lot of time in the library, searching for any book related to Nature Witchcraft. In the end, he found a couple and gave them to Esme to check.
