“Next time, let’s not skip dinner,” he said, nodding his head at my words.

I sat up and watched Chris walking away. He was really something to watch, all solid muscles and smooth movement.

I leaned back into the bed with a huff when I heard the shower running. What I wouldn’t give to be able to do more than just kissing. I’d been doing some research on how to get past it, and I even asked Dr. Campbell during my last session, but all she said was that communication was key. She did advise me that I shouldn’t be pushing it if I was feeling pressured, that it would end up being detrimental.

It wasn’t. Goddess, I wish he would push me a little more. If it wasn’t for the obvious proof of his need, I would wonder if he even desired me. I wanted this for me. Because I wanted to push past this and, most of all, I wanted my mate.

I sighed, got up and walked to the closet. I pulled off my pajamas and grabbed a comfortable maxi dress. I walked out of the room, still stuck in my thoughts, but a strangled sound me made jump. Chris was sitting on the bed. I didn’t hear him come in.

“Vio—” He stopped and swallowed, and it took me a moment of seeing the way his eyes hungrily looked down my body to realize I forgot to put my clothes inside the closet.

“Sorry,” I squeaked, rushing back into the closet and shutting the door.

I groaned, rubbing my legs together, then grabbed a new pair of underwear. This pair was ruined as my body reacted to his perusal of my body. I pulled on my dress and walked back outside. Chris was still frozen on the bed.

“Sorry. I didn’t hear the shower shut off.”

“It’s o—It’s okay. Are you ready?”

“Mhmm,” I answered.

He stood and walked to the door, so I did the same. When I got there, he grabbed me and walked me backward until I hit the wall. I looked up at him. He was breathing hard, and the heat in his eyes was making me wet again.

His nostrils flared when I rubbed my legs together, and I knew he could smell it. With a groan that seemed to come from the bottom of his soul, he lifted me against his chest. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist, making my dress pool at my waist. Not waiting for him to make the first move, I smashed my lips against his. Chris stumbled a step back, surprised by the momentum of my actions, but quickly recovered and stepped forward until I was once again against the wall.

I moaned when I felt his hard member pushing against my core, giving him access to my mouth. He pushed his tongue into my mouth, the motions of it mimicking the way he was pushing his erection against me. Instinct had me pushing back, the pressure making my clit throb. He stopped after a bit, breathing hard, but a sliver of worry was in his eyes.

“Are you okay? I’m sorry. I—”

“Stop. I’m okay. I liked it,” I assured him, breathing hard, but then I shook my head and corrected myself. “No. I’m lying, I loved it.”

“Yeah?” Relief and a smile filled his face.

“Yeah. Ca-Can we do more?” I stammered, feeling the heat coming to my face, a grin coming to his.

“We have people waiting for us, but maybe after? If-If you still want?”

“I want,” I answered, and he kissed me again before slowly letting me down.

My face heated and I had to look away when I mumbled, “I need to use the restroom.”

My panties were soaked, and I needed to change them. Again.

Chris pulled away and I quickly grabbed a new pair of underwear, ran into the restroom, and cleaned up. He smiled at me when I came back out, grabbing my hand and pulling me against his side. He wrapped an arm around my waist, and we walked to the alpha living room.

Bells was already there, setting up snacks she’d apparently brought up for everyone. She looked at us when we arrived and smiled widely. “I like seeing you two happy. Adrien and Elim went down to grab more snacks.”

“Aren’t you going to the celebration?” I asked and watched Bells look away uncomfortably.

“No. It’s a celebration for Cade and his pack. I’ll head down for the run, but tonight is about him. Besides, it’s Elim’s last night here. I want to spend it with you guys.”

‘Are you sure that’s all there is?’I asked her before the potion could run out.

‘It’s complicated. I’m just trying to create a little distance here. He’s leaving in a few weeks.’

‘Do you want to talk about it later?’

‘After Adrien leaves. I don’t need any of this getting back to everyone in Crescent Moon. I already asked Elim to keep it to himself.’
