Aiden POV

When Thalia said ‘yes’, I was thrilled. I thought she was beginning to trust me. When I felt her body shiver and lean into me, I thought she was relaxing.

Then she pulled away. She said she was nervous about the kiss. I know it’s more than that, but I don’t know how much though. She said she had never been kissed before. Does that mean Reid and I are wrong in our suspicions about her being assaulted?

‘Aiden, do you really think someone being assaulted would be kissed too?’

‘I don’t know Leon. I have never assaulted anyone. Nor am I sick in the head to want to assault someone either.’

‘I’m just saying, kissing someone seems like an intimate act between lovers. Not a rapist and the victim.’ Leon answers.

He isn’t wrong. There are several things that are considered intimate between lovers and in no other situation, would you normally see it happen outside of that kind of relationship. I just don’t know how to get her to trust me.

I personally, was enjoying her lips pressed agai

Yeah, I think so too and maybe she’s open up to her about what happened to her.

  • His Deadly Mate: Book 2 of The 'His' Series   Chapter 30: Blue Balls

    Aiden POVI’m purposely going to give myself a heart attack. That kiss was everything. I wanted to keep going. I wanted to carry her to the bed and climb over top of her and make love to her for the entire night. When I went for the hem of her shirt, I barely touched her skin when she pulled back. I went too far and she pulled away.‘At least this time she wasn’t scared to kiss us.’ Leon said.‘No. She wasn’t. She stiffened a little at the hem though.’‘I think it’s an improvement. We got to kiss her three times today.’ Leon said excitedly.‘You’re right, we did.’ I said with a smile.‘I like that she is a hitman too.’‘Yeah, what’s the deal with you and the whole hitman thing? Every time you hear it, you start dancing around in my head.’‘It means we get a bad ass Luna. Once her wolf surfaces, I bet she will be a kick ass wolf.’ He says happily.I shake my head and laugh. I walk into the shower and smell my mate’s scent. It sends any blood I have left in my body straight to the alrea

  • His Deadly Mate: Book 2 of The 'His' Series   Chapter 29: Tied

    Thalia POVI noticed that my acceptance was different from Mia’s. She only had to accept Aiden as her Alpha. I had to accept him as my mate and Alpha. We are fated mates and I get it, but it made me feel trapped.I shouldn’t feel this way because Aiden has been good to me and my sister. He has been at the ready to defend and protect me more than once. I am overwhelmed though. Overwhelmed by his kindness. Overwhelmed by his need to protect me. Overwhelmed by his warmth. Just overwhelmed.But trust. That’s hard for me; especially given my past. I never know what cruelty life is going to throw my way. How can I trust he will not turn into some sort of monster later. My father supposedly loved my mother at one point, but now he hits her. What if Aiden does that to me? No. Better to keep him at arm’s length.Once we get back to our room, I go to the closet, only to see my side has more clothes. I turn around and look at Aiden. He gives me a shy smile, and once again, I’m swept up in it.“I

    Aiden POVSeeing Thalia with her family, especially her sister, let me know how much she values family. Once again, it seems contradictory to her relationship with her father. Whatever happened between them must have been bad.“So Thalia, we know your sister loves medicine and wants to become a doctor,” Sophia said, “What about you? What interests do you have?”She looks stumped by the question. So I try to help her, “The first time I saw Thalia, she was on stage singing. She was beautiful and has a beautiful voice.”Thalia looks at me gratefully. “I like to sing, Tia. Outside of that, I like doing make up and hair.” She said. Which caught me off guard. I mean, she doesn’t need any makeup. She is a natural beauty.Sophia gave her one of her gentle smiles. It’s the smile she gives when she accepts the answer but knows there is more to it. Maybe she has information she can tell me about later. I need to remember to ask her when we are alone.“Prima, how do you feel about becoming our L

    Thalia POVKiss me? He wants to kiss me? A lot of bad things have happened to me, but no one has ever kissed me. I don’t even know what to do. He didn’t actually ask me if he could kiss me though, did he?However, I don’t think he will ask because he is closing the space between us. I’m nervous and I feel like I’m going to have a panic attack. I don’t do intimacy at all. I can’t. I close up and shut down.“Thalia, what’s wrong?” Aiden asked me. His eyes are full of concern.What do I say? Do I just tell him I have never been kissed? I can’t tell him my past. I don’t want him to think less of me. Especially, since he seems determined to keep me around. In all fairness, he has been the kindest man I’ve met. Against my better judgement, I decide to throw caution to the wind, “Um, I’ve never been kissed before.” I said.I hear he growl low as he smiles. “Then can I kiss you?” He asks me.I felt my cheeks heat. Why do I always feel vulnerable around this man? He just saw me kill six of tho

    Aiden POVThalia is a mystery to me. Her uncle said her life has been hard. Reid and I suspect she’s been assaulted, but she clearly knows how to defend herself. Around strangers she stiffens. Then she gets embarrassed and blushes easily.She is this tough exterior and yet she is still vulnerable and innocent. I want to ask her a lot, but I don’t want her to pull away either. She seems to put everything on her shoulders, like all the burdens of the world are hers to carry. She also doesn’t seem to want help. Not even an examination from her own uncle.Everything about her is a contradiction. She doesn’t even know that she is driving me crazy, but she is, in fact, driving me crazy.“So what’s the deal with Tina?” She asked me.“Hm? Oh, she is the one that gave me the tea.” I said.She raised an eyebrow at me and I swear, she wears her facial expressions well. She looks curious and amused and clearly waiting for me to elaborate.“Tina was vying to be Luna.” I said.“What? Can someone ap
