“So, no luck tonight?” I asked when Chris returned and handed me a bottle of water.

Chris stared down at me for a moment before he sat down.

“No. I didn’t expect there to be.”

“I’m sorry I made you go. I just thought—”

“That I wanted to find another mate?” he asked, giving me a weird look.

“I—” WhatdidI think when I sent him down there? “I think you deserve to be happy, Chris,” I answered as honestly as I could. “The girls here seem to like you. I thought maybe...” I swallowed.I needed to make sure you weren’t theirs, before I got too attached and lost you. “I thought maybe you’d like one of them, too,” I finished quietly.

“Would that make you happy? If I was interested in one of them?” Chris asked, making me look at him.

I was trying to read the look on his face, but it was blank as he waited for my answer.

I shook my head. “I don’t want you to miss out on being happy because of me. If they can make you happy—”

“They can’t.”

“Then, who can?” I asked before I could help myself.

Chris stared at me for a while and I held my breath. Eventually, he sighed and stood. I thought he would walk away without answering, but he surprised me by leaning down and placing a long chaste kiss on my cheek.

“Someone I don’t deserve,” he whispered, pulling back. “Good night, Violet. I’ll see you in a few hours for training.”

My heart hammered in my chest as I watched Chris leave the room. I was in shock at his answer.

Could Bells be right? Could Chris actually like me? Or was he referring to someone else? He had to be talking about me, right? Why would he kiss my cheek otherwise? I looked at the door to his room, which as usual was open a tiny crack in case I needed him. Should I go ask him?

No. I couldn’t. I wasn’t that brave. Plus he said he didn’t deserve this person. Maybe he meant me, and maybe he didn’t. Either way, Chris was wrong. He deserved the world. I’d just have to convince him of that, so he could go after his person. Whether that be me or not.

Chapter Fourteen

Bellarose

Ilet out a little moan as the best dream I’d had in ages left me, and my consciousness returned. A warm hand was massaging a breast, while the other was wrapped possessively over my stomach, keeping me pressed against a hard chest and an even harder something else. I let out another moan as Cade played with my nipple, and I couldn’t help pressing my ass into his hard cock.

“Good morning, Princess,” Cade whispered in my ear before he sucked the sensitive part of my lobe into his mouth. I whimpered as pleasure wracked my frame, and I felt my pussy getting wet instantly. “I love those sounds you make.”

“Cade,” I whimpered, already needy for more.

He pulled back, pushing my shoulder down, then covering my body with his, as he kissed me slowly. It was so different from the hurried passionate kisses of last night. This was a slow seduction as his tongue caressed mine and his body movedsensually against me, lighting a fire everywhere he touched that went straight to my pussy.

I reached between us as his lips started making their way down my neck and wrapped my hand around his girth, making him hiss. I only managed to pump him a few times before he pulled away as he headed down my body.

“Wh—Oh, Goddess, Cade!” Any thought disappeared from my brain as Cade’s lips sealed over my bundle of pleasure. My back bowed as he licked and sucked, and it wasn’t long before I was screaming my release.

“You’re so reactive to me. I love it,” Cade whispered, coming back up to line his cock against my entrance.

His words brought confusion to me for a moment, and my brain was a dick that flashed another set of words I heard for years until I felt Cade’s lips against mine.

“Come back to me, Bells,” he whispered. I blinked, seeing his concerned face above mine.

When he saw me acknowledging him, Cade kissed me hard, keeping me in the moment and bringing my body back to the fine humming I was sure only he could evoke.

“Fuck me, Cade.” I opened my legs further apart until he was seated where I wanted him.

“Whatever my princess wants.”
