“Yes, the Alpha has things to do. But you can sleep.”
“What time are you eating breakfast?”
“Breakfast is usually a quarter after eight, but I’ll wait for you so we can eat together. Sleep as long as you want.”
“Okay… Can I sleep here? Or do I need to move back to my room?”
“Here.” I rolled my body to the other side and rose from the bed. Her fingers on my skin were burning me in a good way, and if I stayed a bit longer, I might end up locking her up in this room for the whole day. “You’re not sleeping anywhere but here.”
I didn’t like that I sounded like I was ordering her, but now that I knew how it felt to have her around in my bed, I don’t think I would be able to sleep without her again.
“Okay… Your bed is amazing.” She rolled her body and ended up on her stomach as she closed her eyes.
“You mean my body as your bed is amazing?” I teased her as I fixed the sheets to cover her body.
“Ummm…” She mumbled and looked like she was about to drift off to sleep.
She looked so content and happy, and it was making my heart soar. I gave her one last look before I walked toward the bathroom. I had to take care of myself after all the teasing she gave me.
Nadia was already asleep when I came out of the shower. She was purring softly, and despite her being asleep, I felt her warmth enveloping my senses and calming my heart.
I could get used to this.
I could stay here and just watch her all day, but I have things to do. But, hopefully, one of these days I’ll be able to spend more time in bed with her, but for the time being, I need to get back on track and make up for all of the months that I failed as an Alpha.
I slipped on my pants and a regular shirt before carefully walking towards the edge of the bed and lowering my body to leave a kiss on her plump lips.
She stirred slightly but didn’t wake up. I watched her in her sleep for a while before deciding it was time to head to my office.
I dragged my heavy feet towards the door and turned the knob carefully, opening it slowly without making a single sound, only to see my Beta standing behind the door as if he was about to knock.
“Alpha!” His face registered amusement. “You’re awake early. I was about to…”
“Shhh…” I hissed at him, my forehead creased as I slipped out of the room. “Can you lower your voice?”
His eyes squinted before he tried to look past me as if he was searching for something inside.
“Is she there?” He asked, his mouth twitching into a wide grin.
I closed the door gently and scowled at him. “None of your business.”
“It’s my business. I used to just run around your room, so you need to tell me. Otherwise, I’ll keep going there like before.”
I started my way towards the stairs with my Beta trailing behind me. “You’re not allowed inside my bedroom anymore.”
“So do you like her?” He asked almost immediately after I spoke.
I slipped my hands in my pockets as I continued to walk in faster strides, ignoring his questions but a smug grin was already plastered on my face
“Come on, man! You’ve kept her hidden from me for three months. Three fucking months! Don’t I deserve an honest answer?”
“What do you want to know?”
“Do you like her?”
“I do.”
“More than Andrea?
